Chapter 005: Old ginger may not necessarily be spicy
Li Xinhua is very familiar with the village chief of Taiji Village, and moreover, Zhou Yang has a certain reputation in Sanliwu Village, so he did not spend much effort in finding Zhou Yang
Master Liu had no way out, yet County Chief Li had his own plans
Their meaning is quite clear: you, Liu Dishi, are renowned within a radius of several dozen miles, and you pride yourself on being second to none in the realms of feng shui and sorcery. You remained silent beforehand, yet now you put us in a difficult position after we have opened the grave. What exactly are your intentions?
A slap in the face, a living slap in the face
Liu Dishi truly finds himself at a loss for words, wishing he could just slap his own face. Had he known this would happen, he would have absolutely refused this job even for a million yuan
However, his brother, County Chief Li, had a grim expression, indicating that this grave would definitely need to be relocated. Otherwise, first, it would lead to a violation of the county regulations, affecting one's future; second, he had previously made statements that would invite ridicule. Moreover, since the grave had already been excavated, what would happen if it were not relocated
Zhou Yang and his father got up to receive them
It is often said that colleagues are rivals; Li Xinhua no longer wasted words with him, but immediately jumped up and directed the driver to speed towards Taiji Village
Although Li Xinhua did not embark on an official career like his brother Li Xinmin, who rose to the position of county magistrate, he has been engaged in business for many years and has become a well-known entrepreneur within the province. With substantial wealth and an impressive presence, he was naturally anxious upon seeing the condition of the ancestral grave.
County Chief Li's face was ashen, and Li Xinhua's eyes blazed with fury
The new grave has been opened, and the old grave has been broken, yet Director Li and his brother are each holding their ground, unable to reach a consensus
The village chief next door is also speaking well of Li Xinhua, so please ask Zhou Yang to make the effort.
Xiao Wang, I truly apologize for troubling you so late. Please go find President Liu of the County Feng Shui Association and President Zhao of the I Ching Research Society. " County Chief Li took out his phone and briefly explained the situation here, instructing the driver, Xiao Wang, to quickly consult the local Feng Shui experts.
Li Xinhua firmly disagrees with the continuation of the relocation of graves
"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. It seems he said, 'This grave is not easy to move,' but it doesn't mean it can't be moved. He must have a way!" Li Xinhua exclaimed, "Liu Dishi, what is that student's name, and where does he live? Lead the way and hurry to invite him!"
Are you intentionally trying to ruin the feng shui of the Li family? Or are you disregarding our interests for the sake of that reward?
Liu Dishi, please think of a way quickly, https://www.hetushu.com, see if there is any solution that can satisfy both sides in resolving this issue. I will add an additional 10,000 yuan as a reward!" Li Xinhua held onto Liu Dishi's hand without letting go
"I said, Liu Dishi, in a situation like this, you should have informed us before the grave was opened," Li Xinhua said increasingly agitated, "You can't ruin the Feng Shui of the Li family for the sake of those two small amounts of money! Tell us what is going on and what we should do now"
Unexpectedly, Driver Xiao Wang continued, both presidents of the county said that for such a geomantic treasure land, one should consult an expert before digging a grave... A truly skilled geomancer would be able to discern from the surface of the grave mound and would not allow the grave to be dug. At this point, both of them are also at a loss.
However, one party is the county magistrate and the other is the God of Wealth. Although Liu Dishi is infuriated, he does not dare to leave in a huff—he can only blame his own bad luck for encountering this exceptional feng shui dragon vein
At this moment, Master Liu was completely taken aback
What should we do, Master Liu?" Li Xinhua, the brother of County Chief Li, urgently asked Master Liu.
Xiao Yang, that Liu Dishi couldn't solve the problem, which is why he asked us to come and seek your help. You can rest assured, he won't say anything about the matter with the diagram and the book!" Li Xinhua said as he took out a stack of money, "Here, this is 10,000 yuan. You can take it first, and after the matter is settled tomorrow, I will give you another 10,000!"
Unfortunately, Driver Xiao Wang later replied that several Feng Shui and I Ching masters in the county, upon hearing about this situation, all expressed that this grave should not be moved lightly; otherwise, it could very likely disrupt the Feng Shui, leading to a decline for future generations.
"This? Oh, that child is named Zhou Yang, and he is from Taiji Village, which is not far from here," Master Liu, though reluctant, could only truthfully explain, "If you ask upon entering the village, you will find out that my relationship with them is not good, so I will not be going there."
Liu Dishi listened attentively to these words, feeling somewhat reassured: You heard it, I am not talking nonsense, this grave truly cannot be moved again
The neatly stacked ten thousand yuan shone brightly on the village chief's face, and he was almost drooling at the corners of his mouth, filled with envy: This kid Zhou Yang, he earns money so damn fast and easily, not to mention there’s still another ten thousand after the job is done!
This? This grave really cannot be moved! It is a prime piece of feng shui land. Such an auspicious and well-situated burial site must not be tampered with lightly!" Liu, the land master, said helplessly
County Chief Li and his brother went to invite others to teach in front of Master Liu, clearly indicating that they no longer believed in Liu, who considered himself a master of feng shui. Although the brothers did not explicitly mock or blame him, Master Liu still felt a burning shame on his face
Ah—oh—" Zhou Yang said, half-asleep and yawning, "I truly apologize, this is not me making excuses, but in the three hundred sixty trades, each has its own rules. In our line of work, we adhere to the principle of not bothering one guest while serving another. You have invited Master Liu this time, and I really cannot intervene midway, otherwise it would violate the established customs.
"Xiao Yang, I really need you to step in for this matter..." Li Xinhua briefly introduced the situation and earnestly pleaded.
This is truly a predicament; all ancient texts mention these three prohibitions on relocation, and as everyone can see, the various auspicious signs of ancestral tombs described in the ancient texts are all present! Liu Dishi's throat felt dry, and he was in a very difficult position, wanting to receive a generous gift but lacking the ability to do so
Unfortunately, Zhou Yang did not even glance at the stack of money, gently yet firmly shaking his head
Hearing Master Liu's words, County Chief Li suddenly exclaimed: "That's right, I remember now! On the day before the grave was opened, a person who looked like a student said that 'this grave is not easy to move.' He was able to see that even before the grave was opened; he must be an extraordinary person! It's just a pity that I didn't pay attention at the time!"
"Not relocating? What should we do if we don't relocate? Are we to let the common people stab me in the back?" County Chief Li expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "A few days ago, I already declared publicly that I would set an example for the villagers and take the lead in relocating the graves. Moreover, this matter has already been documented by the county committee and the county government; how can we not relocate?"
"Exactly, exactly! As long as anyone can solve this problem, I will offer a reward of one thousand yuan, no, no, no, it will be ten thousand yuan!" Li Xinhua shouted loudly by the phone.
"Elder brother, this grave truly cannot be moved!" Li Xinhua said anxiously, "Elder brother, you have seen it too; our grandfather's grave is indeed a genuine feng shui dragon vein. The good fortune our Li family enjoys today relies entirely on this. If we forcibly relocate it, who can guarantee that we won't encounter any troubles in the future?"
I say to both of you, I, Old Liu, truly did not mean it that way. In the field of feng shui, we earn our living through integrity; I would never knowingly guide someone to relocate a grave when I know it is inappropriate! Master Liu is unwilling to admit that his skills are lacking. Moreover, those two presidents from the county earlier were definitely being wise after the event; no one can discern the situation inside a grave before it is opened!
Now, both brothers of County Chief Li are even suspecting that he is deliberately doing this for profit, which is a tremendous injustice and a significant future concern
