The so-called "divided water to break the evil", is a Feng Shui secret technique, in the old books of the store, I learned some methods to change the Feng Shui. In the past, if there was something wrong with a tall house, they would find a carpenter or a Yin Yang master to resolve the evil. Carpenters were all descendants of Lu Ban's masters, and many of them knew some left-handed craftsmanship in their early years. Their methods for resolving evil are generally no more than two kinds, one is called "burying the beam", and the other is called "shooting ink".

  There is a poem that says: Mo Shi solves doubts by playing the black string, and does not reach Gan Ba buried in the beam.

  The so-called "burying the beam" does not actually involve burying a house beam, but rather taking a small piece of wood from the beam and burying it in another location with excellent feng shui. The beam is the pillar of the house, and through this method, the original house's evil energy can be dissipated. Another method, "shooting ink", is even more direct. The ink container is one of the three treasures of a carpenter, symbolizing uprightness and honesty, and is said to have the effect of preventing disasters and evil spirits. Skilled carpenters usually use the ink container to break the evil energy by drawing certain patterns with the ink line in certain places on the house. From then on, the owner of this house may not become extremely wealthy and noble, but at least they will be protected from evil invasion.

  The way Mr. Yin and Yang broke the evil spirit is called "dividing water to break the evil". I heard that Ninth Uncle had mentioned this secret technique, which was a secret of the White Sect masters in the past, but unfortunately, since Ninth Uncle learned from Korean Daoist, he didn't know such Feng Shui secrets either.

  I'm sitting in the shop, next to Uncle Wen who's still enthusiastically playing against the landlord. I gaze out the window, it's already afternoon and there are only one or two hours left before closing time. I've been thinking all day about what to do tonight, considering that this month I haven't drawn many talismans - just two new ones plus my old three styles, which adds up to around a dozen or so. I don't know if it's enough; if not, I'll have to rely on my palm-sized talisman and Yi Xin Xing. That old Yi is indeed a bit of an airhead, but he really does have some genuine skills, especially that 'Capturing Ghosts and Swapping Gates' move of his - it was truly impressive.

  Never mind all that, let's go and feel out the situation first.

  The most important thing now is to quickly recover my spirit and strive to adjust my body to its best state, don't be like last time, almost dying. Just thinking about it makes me shudder. So I leaned against the wall and sat in the corner, closed my eyes and started reviewing "San Qing Shu".

  It seems that I have unknowingly gotten used to this life, even though I know that I will be facing something fierce at night, but I won't be as afraid as before. Time passed by unnoticed, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already past four o'clock, and the outside of the window had darkened, so I got up and started cleaning.

  Wen Shu seemed to have had enough fun too, he stretched his waist and stood up, telling me that I could leave at five o'clock. Then he went out for a drink by himself. As I looked at his lazy appearance, I thought to myself that this was truly shameless, how he could be so carefree after cheating people out of their money.

  After seeing the old man leave, I didn't have any more worries. I immediately called Yi Xingxing and asked him when he would get off work. He told me that Lin Shu had left early and was waiting for me. I said to him, "Then you can come out now, let's go eat something first, and then prepare our gear for tonight's practice."

  After meeting, we went to a small restaurant for dinner and ordered two dishes and two bottles of beer. As soon as he sat down, he asked me what was going on, so I told him about the Xie Zhipeng incident. After listening to me, he was shocked and said: "No wonder they say that in this big world, nothing is strange. This is really a weird thing. I didn't expect the headquarters of the famous Yuan Group to be such a dangerous place. Those people are really cheap, knowing there's danger but still continuing to work there. It's all their own fault."

  I said to him: "Isn't it? But since we've been informed, we have to go and take a look. Maybe there will be some clues about the female ghost who runs on the road."

  Yi Xinxing nodded, at this time the dishes were served, I poured a cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp, then continued: "Unfortunately, we don't know the 'split water to break the evil' technique now, it seems that tonight is going to be difficult."

  Yi Xinxing nodded and said to me: "Divide water to break evil? I understand."

  What? I almost choked when I heard his words, and I stared at him with an incredulous gaze. Did I hear that right? This brainless thing actually understands "Feng Shui"? So I quickly asked him: "Did I hear that right, you understand Feng Shui?"

  He saw I didn't believe him, so he said with a matter-of-fact expression: "Of course I understand, don't you?"

  Damn it, I have no idea where to go.

  Yi Xingxing then told me that since his ancestors were geomancers, some of the methods they used were passed down through their family, including the "divided water breaking evil" technique.

  It turns out that he has been trained since his ancestors, no wonder he looks like a matter of course. It seems that to some extent, I, who came out halfway, am not as good as him who has been studying hard since childhood.

  He saw my surprise and then rolled up his sleeves again, showing me that strange watch of his. He told me that this watch was also ingenious, and it was thanks to it that he had found the trail of the Night Fox last time. This wasn't a watch, but a Luogong, named 'Liujia', which belonged to the category of Qimen objects. However, I thought the Luogong was too big and not suitable for carrying around, so I used an old broken watch to make one myself according to that method, and unexpectedly it really worked.

  The six needles on this watch, three red and three black, represent Tui Shen, Tui Wu, Tui Chen, Tui Yin, Tui Zi, and Tui Xu. They have been soaked in the blood of a black dog and a yellow chicken, and with the secret method of Qi Men, they can detect evil spirits and ghosts.

  I swear I was really stunned, deeply feeling the mystery of the magic door technique, and at the same time, I think he's too talented, of course, if his brain could be used a little better, that would be perfect.

  I gazed at the foolish appearance of this folk science expert in front of me, and suddenly felt a sense of confidence. Great, since he can divide water and break evil spirits, it will be easy to deal with tonight. Maybe we can even achieve victory without shedding blood, and directly break the Feng Shui of that building, then those filthy things will naturally disperse.

  So I put my mind at ease, and in the evening it seemed that I didn't need to take action, this folk scientist could handle it himself. Seeing that he had almost finished eating, I gave Xie Zhipeng a call and asked where to find him later. He said just come straight to the company, but better come a bit later.

  I was thinking that after all, this matter wasn't a good thing, avoiding suspicion is normal, after all we are also low-key people, so I agreed with him and went over there at more than 10 o'clock in the evening. Let him not wander around in the company. Wait for us two.

  After hanging up the phone, Lao Yi and I got up to settle the bill and leave. We each went back home to prepare our gear, then met up again at 10 o'clock near the headquarters of the Yuan Group.

  I returned home before seven o'clock, rummaged through all the symbols, and took out a flashlight, a pair of chopsticks and some other essentials. I packed them all into my backpack.

  Bao Jinlong was being affectionate with his wife in the room, and their giggles and laughter carried over to my room. I couldn't help but smile wryly, feeling a pang of envy - why can't I have an ordinary life like everyone else?

  Forget it, thinking about these things is useless, I'd better do something. So I opened my computer and started killing the remaining time. I opened KOF and beat Rugal four times, by then the time was almost up. So I got dressed, packed my bag, said goodbye to Bao Long and the others as usual, and told them I wouldn't be back tonight.

  Bao Long gazed at me with a look full of longing and envy in his eyes, apparently thinking that I was going out to spend money again. I couldn't help but smile wryly before heading downstairs.

  In the taxi, I made a phone call to Lao Yi and asked if he had left. All I heard was a strange tone on the other end of the line saying: "Xiao Fei, I've arrived, but... it seems like something is off here, it's too weird."

  I was puzzled in my heart, wasn't it known early on that it's an unlucky land? How could it not be right? So I hurriedly asked him: "What's wrong? What happened?"

  The old Yi on the other end of the phone said hesitantly, "It can't be confirmed yet, just hurry over, I'm outside that building in the suburbs."

  After hanging up the phone, I couldn't stop muttering to myself, wondering if something unexpected would happen again. Was it that this time we encountered a problem that neither of us could solve?

  The night wind was cold, and the dark clouds blocked out the moonlight. From a distance, I saw through the car window the tall building of the Yuan Group standing alone on the outskirts of the city, looking somewhat ominous in the darkness. It was very late now, and only a few rooms in the building were still lit up, probably by live streaming personnel and security guards.

  Before long, the taxi stopped and I paid the driver. The driver thought I was an employee here and said enviously while giving me change, "You guys must have made a lot of money in a year working here."

  A bitter smile rose in my heart. I had no idea how much I could earn here in a year, but it must be a lot, since some people were willing to risk their lives for it.

  So I nodded at her and got off the bus.

  It's strange that there isn't even a streetlight under the headquarters building of such a large company. I saw a black shadow wandering around not far in front, it was Old Yi.

  So I walked towards him, and when he saw me, his face was full of incredulous expressions. I quickly asked: "What did you mean by 'something's not right' on the phone just now? What's wrong?"

  He looked at me and then glanced at his watch, saying: "This... this isn't a bad place at all! In fact, it's quite a lucky place!"

  What a blessed place! How could it be a blessed place? Isn't it said to be a 'hanging guest scale gold' land? Just as I was puzzled, Yi Xinxing pointed to the three large pine trees in the distance and said to me: "Look at those trees, they are planted on the northeast side of this building. These three large trees represent the three-legged golden cicada. And even in winter, the leaves of the pine tree will not fall off. The leaves represent wealth. In Feng Shui, this is called 'Golden Cicada Presenting Treasure'. It's as if you can't help but get rich! Moreover, Golden Cicadas do not live in evil places, and generally speaking, within a radius of one mile around them, there won't be any evil spirits. Isn't that strange?"

  After listening to him, my head got big. If this place isn't a fierce land, then how can seven people die in this building every year? And I saw that Xie Zhipeng's forehead was as black as ink, what is this if not a sign of evil spirits? Just now Old Yi said 'Golden Toad does not produce fierce and evil places', but this is fundamentally self-contradictory!!!

  Could it be that Lao Yi's skills are still not up to par, so he misjudged? No way, this old guy may have a screw loose, but his professional skills are definitely top-notch.

  My head is really big, I couldn't think it through no matter how hard I tried, so I just stopped thinking about it. To hell with him, whether he's 'Diao Ke Zhong Jin' or whatever 'Jin Chan Xian Bao'. Anyway, I truly saw the black aura on Xie Zhi Peng's forehead, I believe my own eyes.

  So I'll call him first, after all, can't just stand stupidly downstairs. First, ensure his safety, then see what's going on later!

  So I dialed Xie Zhipeng's phone number and told him that I was just downstairs from his company. As soon as he heard it was me, he hurried down to pick me up.

  I introduced Yi Xin Xing to him, and told him that he was my senior fellow apprentice. After some polite conversation, he led us into the Yuan Shi Group building. Normally speaking, there are security guards on the first floor, and people like us with unclear identities cannot enter. Fortunately, Xie Zhi Peng is friends with those security guards, so he took out two boxes of cigarettes that he had prepared in advance and handed them over to the guards, telling them that he didn't dare to be on night shift alone, so he found two friends to accompany him.

  Everyone knew that something was wrong with this building, and they were friends, so the security guard turned a blind eye.

  So the three of us went to his office on the tenth floor, it was 10:40 at that time. We sat down and chatted casually, no matter what, let's get through the night first, but my heart was filled with unease for some reason.

  Because I saw that Xie Zhipeng's forehead had a black aura that was starting to spread, almost blocking his eyes, it was the first time I saw such a low fire aura.

  It's as if it were an omen of death.
