The dense ghost shadow
After sending Yu Qingying back home, Tang Zhendong returned to his rental house in Xinjian Village and saw Old Ye circling around the yard as soon as he entered.
"I say Old Ye, are you practicing Tai Chi or gossiping, walking around in circles?" Tang Zhendong couldn't help but tease him as soon as he saw Old Ye.
"Ah, my Tang Zhen Dong, Master Tang, you've finally come back. I was worried sick about you." Old Ye felt a mix of emotions when he saw Tang Zhen Dong return.
"Zhen Dong Ge, you're back?" Zhao Lili poked her head out of the room, "This uncle said he had something to find you, and has been waiting since four o'clock until now."
"Thank you, Lily."
Tang Zhendong opened the door and let Old Ye in, "What's wrong, so urgent? How come our daughter started school? Can't we make her some good food anymore?"
"Cut to the chase, I'm looking for you on a serious matter. Actually, it's not me who's looking for you, but rather Qian Wen-chang." Old Ye looked anxious.
"Are you looking for me or both of us?"
"Didn't he invite the great masters of the industry to deal with his three yin places?" Old Ye was too lazy to respond to Tang Zhendong's uninteresting questions, and directly got to the point.
"What's wrong? Can't he handle it or what? Isn't this just perfect, our business is coming along now? I'm telling you, Old Ye, our business has been getting better and better, we can't always be selling on the street. These past two days I went out to play, I thought about a lot of things, we should rent a house and set up our stall properly, this is the right way."
Tang Zhendong's non-stop talking was interrupted by Old Ye waving his hand, "Don't mention renting a house for now, I haven't finished speaking."
Tang Zhendong waved his hand, "Alright, you speak."
Yesterday, Da De went to Qian Wen Chang's house. The Qian family had been listening to our words and had been staying in the old house for two days. Da De rearranged many things in their luxurious mansion, replaced a lot of items, and added many Feng Shui decorations. They worked until midnight when something strange happened. At midnight, many men and women suddenly appeared in Qian Wen Chang's mansion, scaring Da De and the decorating workers so much that one was paralyzed and two fell ill. Qian Wen Chang himself was also frightened out of his wits. Now he and Da De are still staying in the hospital.
"Lao Ye, are you kidding me? How did all these ghosts and gods come out? Who are you trying to deceive?" Tang Zhendong was somewhat unbelieving, but Lao Ye's expression was serious and sincere, not like he was joking.
"I don't have time to joke with you, I'm anxious to death. I've been waiting for you here since this afternoon, all the way until now, do I still have time to joke with you?"
"How did you know about these things? You didn't go with Master Tai De to Qian Wenchang's mansion, did you?"
Qian Wenchang called me in the morning, I went to the hospital to see him, these things were told by Master Dade and he was also helping on the side, obviously scared out of his wits, with a look of lingering fear.
"Today is September 2nd, which coincidentally falls on July 15th of the lunar calendar, the Ghost Festival."
Tang Zhendong listened and knew that Old Ye was not speaking nonsense, because Old Ye's expression was very serious. "Old Ye, do you think we should take on this job?"
Tang Zhendong had only studied Feng Shui and physiognomy, and had never encountered anything related to ghosts and gods before, so he couldn't even make a guess, and didn't have the slightest confidence.
"My Master Tang, this is for you to decide. We two are now in your hands, if you say we go up, then we'll go up." Old Ye has come to admire Tang Zhen Dong greatly through the recent series of events, and he has also witnessed Tang Zhen Dong's omnipotence, so now Tang Zhen Dong has become Old Ye's mainstay. Otherwise, Old Ye wouldn't have waited for several hours in front of Tang Zhen Dong's house.
Tang Zhendong looked at his watch and saw that it was already past seven o'clock. "Let's go, we'll go to the hospital to see Qian Wenchang."
Two men rushed a car straight to the hospital. Qian Wenchang in the hospital looked haggard, beside him were his mother Shen Fanhua and his sister Qian Wenmei.
Another bed on the edge was occupied by a master-level figure in Haicheng's feng shui circle, with the Dharma name of "Dade" - Master Dade.
"Master Ye, Master Tang, you've arrived? Little sister, help me up." Qian Wenmei helped Qian Wenchang up. "Mom, little sister, you two go back first, I'm fine, I'll chat with Master Ye for a bit."
Shen Fenghua probably knew what topic his son was going to discuss with Ye Dashi, so he also slipped away with his daughter.
"Please be seated, masters." This time it was Qian Wenchang himself who spoke.
Qian Wenchang invited the great master to prepare for this Qian family's mansion, including a large black Tiancai Shen with a mountain-shaped head, a bronze Huasan Ye Guangbei, a bronze five-clawed golden dragon, and of course, a huge Fengshui ball that can directly dispel the Qian family's bad luck.
In Qian Wenchang's home, Master Dade arranged the Feng Shui objects he had prepared in suitable places. Later, he rearranged the layout of the house according to the eight trigrams on the Feng Shui compass.
However, Master Dade, although he knew to place it according to the direction indicated by the compass, overlooked one thing - his posture when holding the compass was incorrect. Would the results measured by the compass be accurate? Of course, Tang Zhendong wouldn't say these words. Not to mention whether they would hurt anyone, but even if they didn't, he and Master Dade were in the same line of work. Although there's competition between people in the same industry, they can't suppress each other.
Competition among peers has existed since ancient times, but even competition needs to be done discreetly. In public, one must coexist peacefully. Because if you openly belittle your peers in front of outsiders, it's equivalent to degrading your own industry. If the industry produces so many losers, how can you be a good example? Moreover, it gives outsiders an opportunity to understand this industry and look down on it as a whole.
These things were all taught by Tang Zhendong in prison to some big thieves. Although the affairs of the world are not exactly the same, the principles are similar.
Dai De brought two companions and they worked until midnight, while Qian Wenchang accompanied them. His mother and sister listened to Old Ye's words and stayed in the old house.
In the middle of the night, strange things happened. First, there was a whistling sound in the wind, then a wailing cry, and finally, strange things appeared at home, with dense ghostly shadows surrounding almost everyone. Not only did Qian Wenchang, who had never seen such an array before, become frightened out of his wits, but even Da De, who was experienced in this line of work, felt a black line wrapping around his head on the spot. Two of Da De's partners were scared, one losing control of his bowels and the other fainting dead away.
It was Da De who first came to his senses, opened the door and rushed out. After calming down for a while, he called an ambulance and with the help of doctors and nurses, they sent several people to the hospital.
"Are those two workers of yours male or female?"
"Men's, all men's."
"A man's yang energy is strongest, shouldn't it be!" Tang Zhendong was puzzled by Qian Wenchang's words.
