Chapter 9

Yan Fuqing and Yan Pengchao were taken aback, and Sun He and Ma Teng's faces showed anger.

Let Wang Yang show his skills? What does that mean? If you don't trust Wang Yang, don't come over. Now that he has come to invite someone, saying such things as "show your skills" makes Sun He and Ma Teng very indignant on Wang Yang's behalf. In their view, Ma Qiang is looking down on people.

"Uncle Ma Qiang, this isn't quite right, Wang Yang did indeed help us break the evil stove the day before yesterday, we all saw it with our own eyes!"

Yan Pengchao said softly. He couldn't help but speak up. Wang Yang was brought by him, and they had been roommates for three years. This time, Wang Yang had done a great favor for his family. However, Ma Qiang had also done him a favor, and if it were someone else, he might have already driven them away.

Ma Qiang shook his head helplessly and said softly, "Nephew Pengchao, I know what happened the day before yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed over so quickly. But this matter is too important, I have no choice but to be so cautious. The old gentleman once told us not to casually find someone to look at feng shui. He said, 'If medical knowledge is not precise, it can harm a person's body; if divination knowledge is not precise, it can harm a person's affairs; if fortune-telling knowledge is not precise, it can mislead a person's life; if geographical knowledge is not precise, it can destroy a family.' So I have to be cautious, I hope you can understand!"

"What you said is true, 'if geographical knowledge is not precise, it can destroy a family,' it indeed should be taken seriously!"

Wang Yang laughed heartily. The so-called geographical knowledge is actually feng shui. Feng shui is also called geomancy or the art of examining the land. The feng shui layout can affect a family's fate. The old gentleman helped the Ma family, which is why they have their current wealth. Wang Yang could understand this.

If they really encounter a fraudster who sets up a harmful layout for them, it doesn't have to be complicated. Just like the evil stove that Yan Pengchao and the others had before, it could slowly destroy their family. 'If geographical knowledge is not precise, it can destroy a family' is not an exaggeration.

"Wang Yang, you, you're not angry?"

Yan Pengchao was slightly taken aback and asked softly. He thought Wang Yang would be very angry about Ma Qiang's request, but he didn't expect Wang Yang to react this way.

"What's there to be angry about? Mr. Ma's concern is justified. You should remember, feng shui layout is not a joke, it's not something to be done casually. Feng shui can kill invisibly. In the future, don't believe these things easily, just come to me if you need help!"

Wang Yang smiled and nodded. He was indeed not angry. Such a reminder was right, and this was a good opportunity to warn his good brothers, so they wouldn't suffer in this area in the future.

"Of course, with you here, why would we believe anyone else!"

Sun He walked over to Wang Yang with a smile, sat down next to him, and glanced at Ma Qiang as he sat down. Although he was still glaring, his anger had subsided.

"Mr. Ma, I don't need your generous reward. Pengchao is my brother. Since you've helped him, I'll help you this time, to repay the favor. Tell me, what should I do to make you believe me!"

Wang Yang turned his head to look at Ma Qiang, his lips slightly curling. Yan Pengchao was taken aback again, his lips trembling slightly, his eyes reddening, but he didn't say a word.

Wang Yang was willing to help Ma Qiang and directly said it was to repay the favor, which meant he was doing this entirely for Yan Pengchao's sake, even if they didn't trust him and wanted to test him.

"I didn't expect Pengchao to have such a good brother as Mr. Wang. Fine, then I'll be presumptuous. I don't need you to show the miracles you did yesterday. Just come home with me and help me look at my house!"

Ma Qiang stood up. He originally wanted Wang Yang to show the things he did the day before, like burning incense without fire or the exorcism sword, but after seeing the brotherly bond between Wang Yang and Yan Pengchao, he changed his mind. He wouldn't make Wang Yang perform to verify his abilities; he just needed him to accompany him home.

His house, which was laid out by the old gentleman, still maintained its original appearance. He spent at least one or two weeks there every month, even if his business was busy. He would come back at night and leave in the morning, because it was here that he gained his wealth.

He rarely brought outsiders to his house, fearing that something might be disrupted. However, Yan Pengchao wasn't an outsider; he was a junior from his village. Wang Yang's words also moved him, and he was willing to take them home to "look."

He knew the layout of his house very well and could use it to test whether Wang Yang had true abilities.

"Fine, then I'll trouble you at your house, Mr. Ma!"

Wang Yang smiled and stood up. He no longer cared about the tests, so he didn't mind the method they used. Moreover, he was a bit curious about how the "old gentleman" helped them, making Ma Qiang the richest person in the village.

"Mr. Wang, please follow me!"

Ma Qiang walked out, stopping in the courtyard to look at the kitchen being built. A kitchen almost destroyed a family, which made him realize the old gentleman's words: "If geographical knowledge is not precise, it can destroy a family."

Ma Qiang's house wasn't far. The village wasn't large, and it only took a few minutes to reach the front gate of Ma Qiang's house. Ma Qiang's house still looked like an old-style house, but the gate was very impressive, except for being a bit old, there was nothing else.

"My father was among the first to go into business in the early years. Our family was once prosperous, but it didn't last long. He never truly became wealthy!"

Ma Qiang explained with a smile at his front door. His father's reputation wasn't good back then. In the 1970s, he was even sent to labor reform and called a ruffian. Later, he went out to do business, making some money but losing a lot, unable to retain his wealth.

It wasn't until Ma Qiang's generation that the family became stable. Now, Ma Qiang had bought a house in the county and started a company, achieving success.

"Very good, the main door is in the Li position, the yin and yang are well balanced, bringing wealth and prosperity!"

As Ma Qiang was opening the door, Wang Yang slowly said this. Ma Qiang's body suddenly paused, his eyes showing surprise. The old gentleman had once told them that their house was in the Li position, bringing wealth and prosperity.

"Mr. Wang, you are truly a great person, please come in!"

Ma Qiang was shocked but didn't stop. He quickly opened the door and gestured for Wang Yang to enter. Just by looking at the main door, Wang Yang had shown his true knowledge, and Ma Qiang knew he had found the right person.

"Wind position, Xun stove, water and wood harmonize, water and fire are clear, very auspicious, very good indeed!"

Entering the courtyard, Wang Yang's eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but nod, continuously speaking. Ma Qiang's house looked similar to ordinary farmers' houses at first glance, but every item and every position was different, bringing different effects.

For example, in Yan Pengchao's house, the stove was in the Kan position, which was completely contradictory, making it an evil stove. In Ma Qiang's house, the stove was in the Li position, which was harmonious and supportive, resolving some of the shortcomings of the Li position.

There were also some small details that showed Ma Qiang's house was better than Yan Pengchao's, such as the lamp at the front door, which automatically turned on at night, keeping the gate bright. As the saying goes, "Wealth deities do not enter dark gates," and a bright entrance also has the meaning of attracting wealth.

Ma Qiang's courtyard looked smaller than Yan Pengchao's but was very clean and well-arranged. Pine and bamboo were planted around the main house, and a large jujube tree stood by the door. These seemingly insignificant things were actually very important arrangements.

Generally, planting trees in a farmer's courtyard is not good because it implies "trapping." However, this is not absolute. The type of tree and its position matter. As the saying goes, "Planting trees in the courtyard represents division, planting jujube trees by the door brings joy and auspiciousness." The feng shui layout of Ma Qiang's house was indeed excellent.

"Mr. Wang, how are these bamboo trees around my house? They have been growing for many years!"

Ma Qiang pointed to the green bamboo around the house and spoke softly. Yan Pengchao, Sun He, and the others were also looking around. Although they were from the same village, Yan Pengchao hadn't been here many times.

"Green bamboo around the house is very good, it brings good fortune!"

Wang Yang smiled and nodded, then pointed to some cacti and cactus balls, saying, "These Jade Kirins in the decline position suppress the decline deity, making it impossible for it to come. This layout is indeed extraordinary, done by a great person!"

"The old gentleman did a lot of work for us because of some connections with my father. Mr. Wang, you can see all this at a glance, you are also a great person like the old gentleman!"

Ma Qiang's eyes became even brighter. Wang Yang's words were completely accurate. The old gentleman had these intentions when he laid out the house, and he didn't understand them at the time. As time passed, he gradually understood the principles. Wang Yang saw everything at a glance, showing his true abilities.

Ma Qiang remembered that after the old gentleman finished the layout, he proudly said that his layout had both obvious and hidden aspects. It was already good if someone could see the obvious parts, and those who could see the hidden parts were considered experts.

"Mr. Wang, please come inside, I'll make you some tea!"

Ma Qiang became even more respectful, opened the living room door, and invited Wang Yang and the others in. Sun He, Yan Pengchao, and the others followed. Although they didn't understand feng shui, they could see that the living room layout of Ma Qiang's house was much better than Yan Pengchao's. It had a fish tank, indoor plants, and some beautiful paintings on the walls.

Entering the living room, Wang Yang's eyes became even brighter, and he nodded continuously.

Without waiting for Ma Qiang to ask, Wang Yang said, "Mr. Ma, the old gentleman was indeed a great person. The east represents wood and health, suitable for green. You have placed a君子兰 (noble orchid) on the east wall, which can keep the whole family healthy. The south represents fire and is the position of the head of the family. The painting 'Sunrise in the East' is very appropriate, the red painting makes the fire very strong, no wonder
