Chapter 1: Yin House or Yang House

"Second Uncle," I greeted as I walked up with my cousin.

Early in the morning, my cousin Fu Chengyuan arrived driving his iconic black Buick sedan

Cousin, which feng shui master selected the location for this house

The second uncle hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone

Is that evidence? I scoffed softly. I turned and walked to the layout line on the homestead. Following the orientation of the five palaces, I drew a circle in the center of the hall.

It seems that this wind only reaches the heights. This is completely an unreasonable scene, how can it not astonish people

"Second Uncle, I see that the feng shui flag cannot be raised. To untie the knot, one must tie it first. You should call Old Master Feng over!" I suggested with a smile.

My second uncle was taken aback for a moment, and he looked at me with a meaningful gaze. Furrowing his brows slightly, he asked, "Ni Ge, have you noticed something wrong?"

"It was just taken away a week ago! Nige, how did you know?" Cousin's mouth was agape in astonishment for a long time without closing.

Er Jiu Fu Yunsheng, as the secretary to the county magistrate, is considered the most successful among his relatives

Later, both parents passed away

Old Master Feng had just entered the circle and immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He shook his head and sighed

Old Master Feng is somewhat well-known in the county town. Before leaving home, Ni Ge knew that Old Master Feng was the feng shui master of this area for nearly a lifetime. However, how could someone who has been in the feng shui profession for almost a lifetime make such a mistake

After getting off the vehicle, I carefully examined the layout lines on the ground, and my brows involuntarily furrowed. Looking around at the surroundings, I suddenly felt a sense of gravity.

My second uncle hurriedly walked over to my side and whispered, "Ni Ge, what happened?"

I have just returned to the city of Xiangyuan County in the Dongmen District, living alone in my ancestral home

What problem could there be? Old Master Feng is the renowned feng shui master in our county! Second Uncle questioned, though the latter part of his statement clearly lacked confidence. After all, the fact remains that this feng shui banner cannot be raised.

My name is Ni Ge. I was born with a constitution of the Nine Yin, and shortly after my birth, I nearly lost my life. Fortunately, my master happened to pass by and intervened. Although my life was saved, I was required by my master to join the Qingyun Temple.

"What happened to Ni Ge?" My cousin Fu Chengyuan, who had just gotten out of the car, asked with a puzzled expression upon seeing my face.

Hmph! I let out a cold snort. If it were merely an unintentional mistake by Old Master Feng, then it would be forgivable. However, if it were intentional, I would have to expose it on the spot, and he would have to bear the consequences of the cause and effect within this homestead himself

The groundbreaking ceremony for this new house, located in a remote town, is quite significant. First, it is essential to select an auspicious date. Friends and family are invited. A simple approach involves setting off some firecrackers to ward off evil spirits, while a more elaborate one requires inviting a master to perform a ritual, followed by the cutting of the ribbon and the commencement of the groundbreaking.

"What are you standing there for? Your cousin rarely comes back, and you aren't even properly welcoming him!" The tone of the second uncle immediately changed when addressing Fu Chengyuan.

Cough, cough, cough! After a fit of coughing, Old Master Feng finally regained his composure. "Alright, alright! Even if the directions are reversed, how could this house possibly become a haunted dwelling? If you can provide evidence, I will never assist anyone with feng shui again"

The second uncle was taken aback for a moment, but he also stopped the action in his hands

Cough, cough! I wonder whose little child this is! How can they be so lacking in manners?" Old Master Feng coughed twice, and his face clearly showed signs of displeasure.

This vacant lot is the site for the new residence of my second uncle. At this moment, it is already filled with people. In the center of the bright red ribbon is tied a red flower. On both sides, there are machines parked, ready to commence the groundbreaking.

Today is the auspicious day for selecting the site and laying the foundation for my uncle's new home, and as a nephew, it is essential for me to attend

Haha! Cousin, you are doing quite well! You have a car, you have a house, when will you also have a sister-in-law?" As soon as I got in the car, I joked.

Old Master Feng glanced at me again and coldly snorted: "I say, little child, the large tree in front of the door will absorb the yang energy of this residence, depriving the household of its fortune. This is common knowledge. I had someone remove it to allow the entrance to be wide open, attracting wealth from all directions. What is wrong with that?"

Old Master Feng was rendered speechless by my remarks.

Oh, you come from Qingyun Temple, but at such a young age, how can you understand the profound principles of feng shui? It is better to be more content! Ahem! Old Master Feng stroked his beard, appearing like a wise man, speaking in a tone that seemed to admonish the younger generation

Hehe, isn't it the case that we will only know when Old Master Feng arrives

Little doll, one must not speak carelessly! This is a residence for the living, and of course, it pertains to the feng shui of a yang house. On this significant day of laying the foundation, how can one speak without restraint! Old Master Feng is no longer hunched over, and even his voice has grown louder

Cousin, has Second Uncle offended Old Master Feng in any way

In the distance, my second uncle has already called the mason and has begun to erect a bamboo pole at the entrance of the homestead. The bamboo pole has not yet been straightened, when suddenly a gust of wind causes the flag on top to rustle loudly.

Old Master Feng's face instantly flushed red. However, he cast a disdainful glance at me before saying: "This plot of land was personally selected by me. The left is the Azure Dragon and the right is the White Tiger. The terrain slopes forward and tilts backward. As for the water source, it is conveniently located in the center of the courtyard. Secretary Fu belongs to the Fire element. What is wrong with the entrance facing the southwest? Living here will surely lead to wealth or nobility! Little child, I would like to hear how this fine residence has turned into the gathering place of Yin as you claim!"

What a great way to attract wealth! Haha! I am quite amused by this old man Feng. However, I feel relieved. It seems that this old man Feng is not specifically targeting my second uncle's family; he is simply lacking in skill. Yet, a poorly skilled feng shui master is even more terrifying than a robber

In fact, the mindset of the second uncle is quite common among the older generation, as it is a habit for elderly people to compare their children with others. It is only natural to hope for one's child to succeed. Moreover, which elderly person does not wish to hold their grandchild as soon as possible

This time, my second uncle did not make a sound; instead, he stood behind me

The entire bamboo pole suddenly bent down. No matter how hard the mason tried, the feng shui flag could not stand in the direction of the main entrance.

Hmph! How ridiculous! What you are saying are merely the most basic principles of Feng Shui, yet you lack the ability to adapt! I ask you, what did you do about the large willow tree that was originally in front of the door?

Go away! Don't laugh at me! I have only made a little money from my engineering work over the past two years. How can I compare to someone like you who comes from the Qingyun Temple! My father now looks at me with disdain, constantly criticizing me every day. These days, as soon as I get home, he starts arranging blind dates. If it weren't for your return, my father would treat me like a thief even when I go out!

I paused for a moment, looking at the astonished expression of the once confident Old Master Feng. I then continued speaking

I originally thought I would be a Taoist for life! Who would have known that Qingyun Temple suddenly announced the closure of its gates, and all young disciples were dismissed

This is my nephew, who has just returned from Qingyun Temple. Please do not be angry! My second uncle has long cultivated the ability to read between the lines while serving as the secretary to the county magistrate. This introduction is a blend of subtlety and firmness.

A few minutes later, a taxi came to a stop. Uncle Er hurriedly went to greet it. He respectfully assisted the elderly Mr. Feng, whose hair was grizzled and whose back was somewhat hunched, out of the car

Oh! This is what Old Master Feng from our county town has seen. Who else in our county town could it be!

The large tree in front of the door absorbs the fortune of the household. However, if the main door is shifted and the tree is moved to the northeast, this tree will not only be harmless but will also protect the household. If you were to remove this tree entirely, how could it be done thoroughly? This would result in a dead tree standing in front of the door. This dead tree not only obstructs wealth from all directions but also transforms the absorption of yang energy into the accumulation of yin energy

Old Master Feng, please! After completing all this, I raised my hand to invite Old Master Feng to come over and stand inside the circle

"Old Master Feng, you have been studying feng shui for several decades. I would like to ask, is this a yang residence or a yin residence?" I inquired with displeasure on my face

Haha! My cousin's words brought a wave of laughter to me

At this moment, everyone present was astonished, their mouths agape. The wind that had arrived was quite peculiar. The people standing on the ground felt not a hint of wind. Instead, the air was somewhat oppressive. Yet, as soon as the flag was raised, it was blown off course by the strong wind

The location is quite good, but the orientation of this house is incorrect. If I am not mistaken, there should have been a willow tree at the original position of the main entrance.

It is time to set up the Feng Shui flag, cousin, you just watch for now

"Why can't it move! I have been observing feng shui in this area for decades, and this is the first time someone has said that the feng shui I have examined cannot be altered! Little child, today I must clarify this with you. Otherwise, the villagers might really think that this old bone of mine is a charlatan!"

A black Buick circled around a ten-story hotel and slowly came to a stop in an open area

Hey! Cousin, let's find a cool place to take a break!" The older cousin quickly responded.

I looked at my second uncle and said, "Second uncle, you must believe me. This foundation cannot be moved now."

I was watching as my second uncle went to get the red cloth, intending to tie it to the feng shui flag. I immediately stopped him, saying: "Second uncle, you cannot tie it!"

Oh, Ni Ge has arrived. Ah! Look at this mess! Let Cheng Yuan accompany you first, and once this matter is settled, we will go to the VIP building for a meal. " Upon seeing me come over, my second uncle's expression immediately softened. This made my cousin beside him quite displeased

Old Master Feng stood firm with his cane, glancing around. He slightly furrowed his brow and said, "I say, Secretary Fu, this place is correct. If you say the flag cannot be raised, it should not be a problem of feng shui. How about this, tie a red cloth to the flag and try again."

The Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right, is that so? But look at the ten-story hotel next to the White Tiger. This White Tiger is taller than the Azure Dragon, and a residence here must bring ominous signs. Furthermore, this well was originally in the Kun position, yet you have forcibly reversed the order to make it the Li position! The yin and yang are not in harmony; is this not a yin house?

"Nige, let's go over there. Look, all our relatives are over there." My cousin felt completely uncomfortable in front of my second uncle. He found an excuse to pull me aside and walked away.

I let out a cold snort: "Old Master Feng, you are an elder. However, how has my second uncle's family offended you, that you must arrange a feng shui residence into a place that gathers阴气?"

No, not at all! Cousin, have you noticed a problem? The older cousin immediately became serious. This younger cousin of his came from the Qingyun Temple. His words must not be taken lightly

"Secretary Fu, there is a problem with the foundation!" the mason said with a look of panic, holding the flagpole.
