Divine Lucky Star
Chapter 370 - Chapter 370 Chapter 369 Screw Your Law

Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Screw Your Law! Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Screw Your Law! A group of people followed him closely, utterly confused by what he was saying. When they reached the courtyard, Master Wang Long comfortably seated himself in the main seat, while Zhao Ergou had to sit on the lower seat next to him.

Wow! Worthy of being called a master, look at that style–impressive!

Even when Great Elder Zhao himself made an appearance, his attitude remained unchanged. This guy’s level was simply off the charts!

“Let me introduce everyone,” Zhao Ergou hurriedly introduced, “This is Master Wang Long, an expert in Feng Shui and geomancy. Having him here to check the Feng Shui today guarantees success.”

“I’m flattered, I’m flattered,” Master Wang Long said modestly, but his face couldn’t hide his immense pride, “I just happened to be free today, received an invitation from Elder Zhao, and came over to have a look. Who would have thought that right upon arriving, I’d discover such a ‘Cave Heaven Blessed Land’ here–marvelous, simply marvelous!”

“Exactly, exactly,” Great Elder Zhao Ergou nodded repeatedly, “I also think it’s a nice place, but I’m a bit puzzled. Could you explain further, Master?”

“Well,” Master Wang Long nodded, took a sniff of snuff, and continued, “This so-called Feng Shui should have both wind and water; it cannot be simply summed up by saying ‘where the wind blows, the water flows.’ An old saying goes: ‘Mountains govern people, and water governs wealth.’ Mountains that are undulating and continuous, with elegant peaks and commanding presence, are auspicious and fortunate. But if the mountains are disorderly, bulky or sharply elongated, they do not make good dragon veins. Look at these mountains; their majestic form, clear and extending dragon lines, and their fluctuating elevations–what does this imply? It indicates prolonged and burgeoning fortune!”

Ah, worthy of being a master–he really knows what to say!

“Yes, yes, very insightful, Master!” Zhao Ergou was initially baffled by the explanation, “Having mountains behind the house means having support, that’s the logic!”

“That’s why,” Master Wang Long said proudly, “having mountains behind a house typically means ‘having backing, holding authority, and gaining others’ support.’ Of course, the specific analysis depends on the mountains–if rocky and barren, they cannot bring benefits but might instead attract a lot of malevolent influences. For residential buildings, not only must there be mountains at the back but also real water at the front. Of course, there are differences between good and bad water. Ancients used to say, look at water before the mountains; without water, don’t bother searching the lands. This spring here, this is what you call good water–an absolutely excellent place!”

“Yes, yes, Master is right; that’s why I felt the Feng Shui was good here!” Great Elder Zhao Ergou, a centenarian from an era deeply believing in these principles, couldn’t care less about his status at the moment and virtually agreed with everything the Master said, “Master, any suggestions?”

“The suggestion is, this place is perfect for massive construction,” Master Wang Long smacked his lips, “Let me ask my disciples to look around! If it were up to me, investing a billion or eight hundred million here wouldn’t be a loss at all!”

An investment of a billion or eight hundred million!

For the Wang family present, the financial figures reaching the billions were astronomical!

Hearing about investing billions, everybody’s mouth hung open!

Wang Hao and Zhao Zhenhao exchanged glances, then Fang Wenbin quietly asked, “Brother Hao, was what he just said correct?”

“Pretty much,” Wang Hao whispered with a smile, “It’s beginner’s level.”

For Wang Hao, this stuff really rolled off the tongue; ordinary folks couldn’t fool him!

As instructed by their master, the two disciples started measuring with the Compass inside the courtyard, and then moved outside. Many Wang family relatives followed them, curious. The apprentices grew impatient and shooed away the crowd, saying, “Don’t follow us. We need to concentrate while calculating the Feng Shui, or else who’ll be blamed if it’s not accurate?”

“Yes, yes,” the crowd stepped back hurriedly by about eight meters, watching the two moving further away with a Compass.

The measurement took almost half an hour. After making a round around the village, the disciples tucked away the Compass and approached Master Wang Long, saying, “Master, the survey is mostly done. The mountain over there indeed has excellent Feng Shui, balancing the five elements and harmonizing yin and yang–it definitely qualifies as a flourishing wealth-concentrating spot, but…”

Great Elder Zhao Ergou was smiling from ear to ear until that last phrase suddenly stunned him!

“But what?” Zhao Ergou anxiously asked, “Is there something wrong?”

The two apprentices glanced at Master Wang Long, hesitant, “Master, should I… should I say it or not?”

“I’m right here, don’t be scared,” Master Wang Long frowned, “Speak! Whatever it is, just say it!”

“It’s like this,” the older of the two disciples explained, “Everything there is fine, except it is afflicted by Snake Evil! If not handled properly, the residents could be troubled by snake demons, which could be ominous!”

Snake Evil!

Hearing this term, all the nosy relatives present were utterly shocked!

Oh Lord, there’s actually Evil Qi here?! What should we do?! What should we do?!

Wang Hao and the others were also stunned–there’s such an explanation?

“Master, do you have a way to resolve this?!” Zhao Ergou became anxious upon hearing this: “It’d be such a pity if this perfect feng shui treasure land couldn’t be inhabited because of this Snake Evil!”

“There are ways to resolve it,” Master Wang Long pondered for a moment, then said, “but it would require a lot of my energy, alas, it’s truly challenging.”

Zhao Ergou is after all from the Great Elder Zhao’s family and his status is extraordinary, so he directly made an offer: “As long as you can resolve this Snake Evil, feel free to mention any demands!”

“How generous,” Wang Long closed his eyes and thought for a while, then sighed, “Well, since the old man has spoken, I’ll perform a ritual to break this Snake Evil for you. As for compensation…”

“Just say how much gift money you need!” Zhao Ergou spoke urgently: “Money is not an issue for me.”

“Oh, speaking of which, money is just an external thing,” Master Wang Long pondered for a moment, then said: “I won’t ask for much, ten million, consider it giving you face.”

Ten million! Everyone was shocked! The master’s price was so high!

And that was the price for giving face!

“Deal, deal, deal,” ten million was nothing for Zhao Ergou, he immediately nodded and said: “Master, please start then!”

“Okay!” Master Wang Long shouted loudly, took off his upper clothes, then told his apprentice, “Go get my Magic Artifact Basin!”

“Got it!” The apprentices went to fetch the magic artifact. They soon brought over a basin about the size of a washbasin. Master Wang Long took the Evil Qi Basin and said, “This spell, I’ll name it ‘Jade Basin Gathering Snakes.’ Soon, I will burn a paper Buddha, which is like my own soul. I’ll cross mountains and rivers as fast as possible, run into the deep mountains, catch snakes from the caves, and put them in this basin. This will resolve some of the Snake Evil!”

Is there such a magical spell?!

Everyone present held their breath, watching Master Wang Long start the ritual!

Soon, Master Wang Long lit the paper Buddha and placed it in the basin. Then he gave another loud shout, banging on the Evil Qi Basin while chanting, “Yuqing has commanded, informing the Three Realms; all directions Cao govern, obey these decrees; all commanders to the altar; Transform and benefit mankind; swiftly, as per this decree, reveal the Snake Evil!”

After he finished, he picked up the jade basin and everyone instantly gasped in unison!

“Snake! Look! There really is a snake!”

“My goodness, truly worthy of a Master, he really summoned the Snake Evil!”

“Incredible, absolutely incredible!”

Wang Hao’s eyes were wide–this seemed immensely like a magic trick he’d seen in a previous life?

Before, Brother Hao had watched a video called “Snake from an Empty Basin”: an enamel basin, some burning paper, and soon a snake appeared…

Zhao Zhenhao and the others were also dumbfounded. Zhao Zhenhao nudged Wang Hao, “Brother Hao, is there really Snake Evil?! Look, he even gathered the snakes!”

Wang Hao looked at him as if he saw a fool: “Haven’t you ever seen a magic trick?!”

“This… this is a magic trick?” Zhao Zhenhao looked at Master Wang Long and then at Wang Hao: “Isn’t it the Master’s spell?”

“Screw your spell!” Wang Hao said annoyed: “This is clearly just a magic trick. If he could gather the giant snake from Cao Cao’s Tomb, then I’d be impressed!”

“Right!” These guys had all been to Cao Cao’s Tomb with Wang Hao. The giant snake there–that would be worthy of being called Snake Evil, right? Zhao Zhenhao nodded like a pecking chicken: “Calling such a small snake Snake Evil, that’s indeed too simplistic…”
