no soul

The rusty big lock fell to the ground with a "click".The ancient gate opened with a "squeak" sound, and the lacquered wood, pool, rockery and the afterglow of the sunset came into view.

Between the green pools on the central axis, the grass blades have withered, the tall stone hills block the view of the front yard, and the back yard is even hidden from the tall buildings, with wind and rain corridors on both sides winding away.

With cornices and brackets, the building complex is solid and heavy, elegant and luxurious.

The old pavilions are stained with wind and frost in the twists and turns of the years, and they are dreaming a new big dream in the slack.

"Two... three please."

Duan Yu followed them to the house, and glanced back at the door. The houses in the huge city were scattered, standing quietly in the setting sun, the sky and the earth were bathed in holy gold, and the hustle and bustle of the long street was completely withdrawn into the house.

"The Chen family's old house faces south, so it's a good feng shui." Duan Yu said.

Lin Hong glanced at the direction where the sun was setting, and estimated the direction, "I know this, 'live south'."

"The sage listens to the world from the south, and governs from the bright side." (Note 1)

Confucius also said: "Yong can also make the south." (Note 2)

The folks regard "facing south" as the best orientation of the house.

"This house is huge, and there are many pavilions." The owner of the pawn shop introduced it with a smile.

The three followed him all the way forward.

The houses are scattered and interlocking, with beautiful pavilions and pavilions. Most of the main houses and wing rooms are connected by corridors.

Everywhere can be a good scene.

"The feng shui of this house is really good!" Duan Yu looked around, full of joy, and pointed it out to Lin Hong, "Brother Qingquan, look, the directions of the west four houses are Gen, Qian, Dui and Xun in sequence; the directions of the east four houses are in order. It's Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun. Wonderful!"

Lin Hong slapped him on the back of the head, "How can I understand the gossip, I have learned some skills to show off to me."

"What did you hit me for! How did I show off!" This slap caught Duan Yu off guard, and most of Duan Yu's interest was shattered. He was about to die of anger, and he pouted and rubbed the back of his head vigorously, his eyes were still looking at Wan Guchuan. Complain vigorously.

Wan Guchuan glanced at Lin Hong.

Lin Hong looked back at him.

Wan Guchuan looked away.

Duan Yu: "..." Something is wrong...

Duan Yu lost his temper, "I... I have studied, and now I have reflexively read Feng Shui!"

"And, didn't you just say that something about this house flashed in front of your eyes?" Duan Yu raised his chin at Lin Hong, "So this house has a big problem! Knowing its Feng Shui, I guess the problem is there!"

Lin Hong felt reasonable when he heard it, "Well, keep showing off."

Duan Yu: "..."

The house has been abandoned for many years, and the owner of the pawn shop would find someone to take care of it at first, hoping to sell it, but he couldn't sell it anyway, and he didn't bother to take care of it.

The flowers and plants in the house are arrogant and domineering because no one trims them, and they grow wantonly, and now they are withered and yellow in autumn, and the decline is spreading all the way.

The trees in the yard stand tall, with only their strong branches left, and the dead leaves have fallen down long ago. They are paved on the bluestone road, covered among the same withered flowers and plants, withered and cold.

The four of them stepped on the dead leaves, and the sound of "click" echoed in this lonely old house, trying to wake up a decade old, as if the riddle was calling for something older...

The further he walked in, the colder Lin Hong felt.

Duan Yu didn't notice it at all, he looked around with great interest, and read the names of the surrounding pavilions, his voice was still hoarse and green, "'Wensheng Pavilion'...'Wanchun Pavilion'...' Renhe Building'... the east belongs to wood, it is the main spring, Wen and benevolence! The name is well chosen!"

"And here, 'Autumn Dream Pavilion', 'Wuhua Pavilion', and 'Yilan Tower', the west belongs to gold, and it belongs to autumn, martial arts, and righteousness!"

"Brother Qingquan, look! North, water, south, fire, and soil are in the center, sun, east, moon, west, sky south, earth north, and these pavilions are built one after the other, like the image of Dashun!" Duan Yu was immediately impressed by the arrangement of the layout. Feng Shui masters admire him.

"Look quickly!" Duan Yu tugged at Lin Hong.

"Look, look, I'm watching," Lin Hong said helplessly, "I don't understand anyway... I'll listen to you."

The owner of the pawn shop listened to Duan Yu's talk for a long time, and laughed, "I never imagined that the two of you came to see the house today, you are well prepared, and you even brought a Feng Shui master with you. Disrespect and disrespect!"

"..." Duan Yu: "I also came to see the house together."

"Here... I don't know if I should ask a question or not," the owner of the pawn shop said, but he didn't mean to ask for their opinions at all, and asked directly: "What is the relationship between the three of you?"

No, I picked one up along the way. The atmosphere between those two tall and handsome young masters was very delicate. He was embarrassed to be standing next to him. Another young young master came. The three of them wanted to inspect the house together and live together?This this……

Lin Hong: "..."

Wan Guchuan: "..."

Duan Yu: "..."

Lin Hong couldn't take it anymore, the boss's mind was a little dirty, "What's wrong with our three brothers coming to see the house?"

"No... nothing wrong, I'll just ask..." The owner of the pawn shop broke into a sweat in embarrassment, "I don't have good eyesight... don't mind..."

Lin Hong: "..."

The four continued to move forward in a weird atmosphere.

The sound of crushing dead leaves was mixed with the sound of gurgling water, and it became louder and louder.

A ten-foot-wide flowing water is introduced from nowhere. The soft green is still flowing slowly, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on it. During the period, the lotus leaves decay but do not weaken its vitality. A unique arch bridge spans it.

Water snakes its way through a water inlet to the rear garden.

This flowing water is named "Golden Spring".

Wan Guchuan took a look at the water and asked, "The Chen family who lived here before is a businessman?"

The owner of the pawn shop said: "Yes, Taishou Chen is indeed a businessman, and his business is not small. Don't you know about it? I thought everyone in this place knew about it."

The owner of the pawn shop pointed to the flowing water, "So this flowing water is called Jinquan, and the fortune is rolling."

Duan Yu roughly glanced at the position of the water inlet in front of him, "The water inlet opens to the northwest."

"So?" Lin Hong raised his eyebrows.

Duan Yu gestured, "It is mentioned in "He Tu Kuo Di Xiang", 'The sky is not enough to the northwest, and the earth is not enough to the southeast. The northwest is the gate of heaven, and the southeast is the household of the earth; the gate of heaven is the highest, and the household of the earth has no bottom.' (Note 3), So here is 'Tianmen'.

In Houtian gossip, the northwest is the position of "Qian Gua", that is, the position of Xu and Hai in the earthly branches, the five elements are gold, and the main wealth.

To put it simply, Tianmen is the source of water. As the saying goes, "Shan Guanren Dingshui is the main source of wealth". . "

Duan Yu motioned Lin Hong to look at the water gate, "Look, the water that symbolizes the source of wealth rolls into the heavenly gate of Zhujin, making money!"

Lin Hong praised, "I know a lot."

Duan Yu pointed to the relative southeast direction again, "corresponding to it is naturally the 'dihu' of the water outlet. Feng Shui said: 'the gate of heaven is opened and the household is closed', which means that the northwest should be open, while the southeast should be closed. Tibetan."

Looking along his hand, the southeast corner of the pond occupies more than half, and the shore is also full of rockeries, which is really narrow.

"It's another good Fengshui place." Duan Yu praised, "The water flows from Tianmen to Xunsi, which is exactly the 'Xinren meeting and gathering'. The water bureau Xinlong (Note 4) is perfect!"

The owner of the pawn shop took another look at Duan Yu, "Young master is very knowledgeable and proficient in Fengshui! This house was written by Li Tiancheng, a famous Fengshui master at that time! Everyone applauded after seeing it!"

"Unfortunately," the owner of the pawn shop shook his head, "Such good Feng Shui failed to curb the evil spirit of the Chen family, and the family still suffered disaster."

"What?!" Lin Hong was taken aback.

All three looked at the pawn shop owner.

The owner of the pawn shop was taken aback by their reaction, and tried to open his slit eyes wide, looking at this and which, "You, you don't know?!"

He immediately regretted it to death. The reason why the house could not be sold before was because of such a big incident in the Chen family, which made people feel that the house was not clean.

Ouch!Now it's all right, these three people probably won't buy this house again!

He said how could anyone come to see this house without knowing it!

The pawn shop owner's heart was cold, and he had a bitter face, "Oh, I said, how can the three masters not know? This Chen Taishou is a red-capped businessman, and he has some relations with the emperor's relatives. This matter has caused a lot of trouble. , Everyone knows it, so I just said it in passing, ouch! Why don’t you know it!”

Wan Guchuan looked at him, "I would like to hear the details."

Chen Bingchun was born in a family of officials and businessmen. His grandparents hitched up with Gao Zhi, a distant relative of Princess Xiang. His father had never read poetry for a day, but he was also an official magistrate. The family had a big business and lived a prosperous life.

He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and there are hills and valleys in his chest, which are brilliant.

He was admitted to the imperial examination in the year of the weak crown, and he is a recognized talent.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Delong Wangzun, said that he was "good at practicing Xiaohui, which is difficult!"—that he had bad conduct, and he was not allowed to be an official.

But it is rare for him to be so gorgeous in writing, and some political visions are also remarkable.

Everyone in the Ministry of Rituals persuaded him, and in addition to his grandparents' distant relatives with King Xiang, he still became a half-sized civil servant, but he was not reused.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites never made a mistake. After he became an official, he followed the wind and made the rudder.

After his father died, he took over the family business and became an official businessman, commonly known as a red-top businessman.

He was not as honest as his father in business, relying on his connections in the court to earn ill-gotten wealth.

Business flourished, and official positions also increased.A year ago, he was transferred to Xicheng as the prefect (Note 5).

Probably because he has done too many bad things, he has to build a house with excellent Feng Shui to feel at ease.So he widely distributed hero posts to recruit people who are proficient in wind and water.

At that time, Li Tiancheng, a well-known Fengshui master who had been closed for many years, heard the news and volunteered to choose a site for him to build a house.

The good house is backed by the mountains and in front of the water, which is why the house of the prefect is in the north of the city.

When the house was built, anyone who read Feng Shui applauded it.

Chen Bingchun took his wife, concubine and only daughter together and rode together to live in this house. At that time, the salute was fired along a long street, and the scene was spectacular.

A high-ranking court official who had a good relationship with Chen Bingchun, Yushitai Mou Chengxiao, sent him 12 maidservants to congratulate him on his housewarming.

It can be described as beautiful.

But living in a house with such good Fengshui, strange and strange things happen frequently.

Although outsiders know little about the details of what happened in this family, they generally know——

The servants in this house disappeared one after another, Chen Bingchun's wives and concubines died one after another, and his only flesh and blood—his daughter went crazy.

Chen Bingchun escaped from the house overnight, but disappeared on the way.

Some people rumored that he saw his crushed skull under the boulder, some said that groups of wild beasts were eating his corpse, and fragments of his clothes were scattered in the forest... Rumors spread everywhere, whether true or not, but they were also frightening.

The matter is of great importance, the government has investigated the case for several months, but found nothing, so the case can only be closed by accident.

This matter was discussed in the streets for a while, and everyone around here knew that Chen Bingchun had done too much unjust business, suffered retribution from gods and ghosts, and even the good Feng Shui of the house could not suppress it.

After several twists and turns, the deed of the house was mortgaged to the owner of the pawn shop who had just arrived and had no idea. At that time, he thought he had picked up a big deal, but later he found out the truth and regretted it...

The three fell into silence after listening.

You have come to the right place indeed.

The owner of the pawn shop was already disheartened after he finished speaking, he knew that this matter had gone wrong again, and the deed of the house had to be put in his hands to be buried with him!

Lin Hong said, "Boss, I have a discussion with you."

"What?" The pawn shop owner looked at him.

"You see, we didn't bring much silver with us when we went out. We can't buy your house anymore." Lin Hong said, "Why don't you let us live in it for a period of time, the rent will not be short for you."

The pawn shop owner looked at him in disbelief, his slit eyes sizing him up, wondering if he was joking or serious.Dare to rent this house? ?

It is certain that it cannot be sold, and it is not bad to rent it out to make some money.

"Of course it's okay to rent to the three young masters, but if there are guests who want to come and see the house during the period..." If someone wants to buy the house during the lease to them, it will be a loss!

"You are always welcome." Lin Hong smiled.

"make a deal!"

The author has something to say:

I'm going to take some emotional lines
