Chapter 23

At this moment, the people from the Hao family had already finished covering the grave. Qin Yu no longer talked about the ghostly matters and quickly came to the grave, leaving the Mo siblings standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Qin Yu picked up a brush from the table. Someone had already set up the carved tombstone. He took a deep breath, and the brush in his hand slowly moved over the tombstone, reciting:

"Today I hold the brush to the heavenly court, the twenty-four mountains become holy spirits. Confucius grants me the brush of literature, and I can create for generations. Pointing to the sky, the sky clears; pointing to the earth, the earth becomes spiritual. Pointing to people, they gain longevity; pointing to the master, the master gains spiritual power. Adding a touch of red, generation after generation will produce top scholars!"

Qin Yu's brush moved slowly, clearly drawing in the air, yet it gave the impression of touching the tombstone. Each stroke carried an indescribable aura, especially the last one, which made everyone feel a red light flash and disappear into the tombstone.

"Was I just hallucinating?" Many people rubbed their eyes, staring intently at the tombstone, but they didn't see the red light again. However, it was hard to believe that so many people could all be mistaken.

"This Master Qin is truly a great feng shui master!" An old man sighed, explaining to the others, "When I was a child, my grandfather, who is your great-great-grandfather, was buried. We invited a Taoist from the mountain. He, like Master Qin, used a brush to draw on the tombstone, saying it was the 'Tombstone Pointing Technique.' Each stroke produced a yellow light. However, after that, I have never seen anyone do this again in any burial."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Even without the tombstone pointing, they had never seen such a display of feng shui and supernatural phenomena before. Some young people who originally didn't believe in feng shui were also convinced. It wasn't that feng shui was unbelievable, but that there were very few people who truly understood it.

Hao Jianguo was particularly pleased. Qin Yu's performance made him glad he hadn't put on airs. At this moment, he was thinking about how to thank Qin Yu after the reburial of his grandfather, knowing that maintaining a good relationship with such a high-level person was essential.

After finishing the tombstone, Qin Yu stood up. The stone workers nearby looked at him with admiration. They had helped build graves many times, but this was the first time they had seen someone make the tombstone glow. They carefully embedded the tombstone in place and then began to lay the bricks.

Qin Yu came to the intersection of the stream and the corridor. This was the final step for the grave site, which was to change the water outlet. A group of people followed him, eager to see how he would alter the stream's flow.

At the intersection of the water channel and the stream, there were three pillars set in the positions of the Three Talents, all made according to Qin Yu's design.

The corridor and the stream were separated by a three-inch layer of soil, and these three pillars were inserted into this layer. Qin Yu picked up a hammer, came to one of the pillars, and without a word, struck it.

The pillar was not very tall, about thirty centimeters above the ground, and the soil beneath was yellow. Soon, only the top of the pillar remained above the soil. The onlookers held their breath, watching Qin Yu intently.

"Bang!"

With Qin Yu's final strike, the entire pillar sank into the soil. Everyone felt a vibration under their feet, and someone exclaimed in surprise:

"My God, why has the water stopped flowing? It's just stopped there!"

"It really has stopped. What's going on?"

Hearing the exclamations around him, Qin Yu smiled. The water stopping was related to the pillar he had just struck. These three pillars formed a small Three Talents Water Gathering Array, and the one he struck was called the Water-Stopping Pillar. Stopping the water was just the first step; the next part was the key.

Coming to the pillar on the right, Qin Yu gripped it with both hands and pulled it out with force. Immediately, a stream of water followed, forming a spring that continuously gushed out.

Seeing this, the onlookers realized that the strange phenomenon with the stream was related to these three pillars. The middle pillar had not been moved yet, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Qin Yu's next move.

However, to everyone's surprise, after pulling out the right pillar, Qin Yu did not move it again. Instead, he smiled and called out, "Mo Yongxing, come over!"

"What do you need me for?"

Mo Yongxing was puzzled but walked to Qin Yu's side. Qin Yu whispered something in his ear, and Mo Yongxing's eyes lit up. Finally, he hesitated and asked, "Is this enough?"

"Yes, just do as I said."

Qin Yu nodded, giving him an encouraging look. Mo Yongxing went to the middle pillar, and in the puzzled gazes of the onlookers, he gripped the pillar with both hands, turned it three times to the right, and then three times to the left. After doing this, he lifted his foot and stomped down hard in a specific direction.

"Bang!"

With this stomp, the middle pillar began to spin rapidly. Mo Yongxing, though somewhat prepared, was still stunned. As he was shocked, the spring on the right suddenly became violent, and a jet of water shot out, directly toward Mo Yongxing.

"Damn it, Qin Yu, you tricked me!"

The mountain spring water was cold, and Mo Yongxing, caught off guard, shivered as his clothes were drenched.

"Look, water is coming out from under the corridor!"

Although the onlookers were initially drawn to Mo Yongxing's狼狈样, they were soon distracted by another event. A stream of water suddenly emerged from the three-inch gap between the corridor and the stream, flowing gently.

Seeing the stream flowing gently in the corridor's water channel, Qin Yu's clear face showed a smile. The Three Talents Water Gathering Array had finally been successfully activated. In fact, everything in the world has a spirit, and water is no exception. Changing the water's direction abruptly made the water itself unwilling, which is why it shot out at Mo Yongxing. After all, Mo Yongxing was the one who completed the final step of the Three Talents Water Gathering Array.

"I... I actually managed to change the water's direction!"

Mo Yongxing was initially angry at Qin Yu, but seeing the water flowing in the corridor's water channel, he felt a sense of satisfaction. This was all his doing, and he momentarily forgot about being drenched by the spring.

"Nine positions stand tall, yet there is a true dragon that does not reside in any of them..."

In the Qin family courtyard, Qin Yu stood in front of a stone table, holding a brush and writing the above sentence. This sentence was from the "Dragon Seeking Chapter" of the Zhuge Inner Canon.

Ding ling ling...

The phone rang, and Qin Yu took it out to answer.

"Mr. Qin, this is Mo Yongxin. I wonder if you are available today. I have something to discuss with you."

"You have something to talk about? I am free today."

"Then please wait at home, Mr. Qin. I will have my brother pick you up. There is something I need your help with."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu fell into deep thought.

Two days ago, the reburial of Hao Jianguo's grandfather was completed. Qin Yu received another envelope from Hao Jianguo. Compared to the thick envelope from before, this one was light and empty, containing only a bank card with Qin Yu's name on it. With Hao Jianguo's power, getting a bank card for Qin Yu was extremely simple, not even requiring Qin Yu's ID.

Qin Yu secretly checked the balance on the card at an ATM. It was a six-digit number, starting with a one and followed by five zeros. Although he knew that with Hao Jianguo's status, he wouldn't be stingy, holding the card with 100,000 yuan still made his heart race a bit.

No wonder ancient feng shui masters dealt with high-ranking officials and wealthy people. Qin Yu now understood the reason. However, after a brief excitement, he calmed down. While he didn't reject money, he wasn't obsessed with it. A gentleman loves wealth, but he should obtain it ethically. He felt no guilt in accepting this money.

Mo Yongxing's Hummer turned a few corners in the county and finally entered a villa complex in the suburbs. Qin Yu, sitting in the back seat, was familiar with this complex.

This complex was developed a couple of years ago, covering thousands of acres, but it was entirely made up of villas. Each villa was reportedly worth millions. Although Qin Yu had heard about it, he had never had the chance to visit.

At the entrance of the complex was a fountain with two golden dragons, their mouths open and claws extended, as if about to soar into the sky. Qin Yu nodded in approval. The dual dragons soaring, combined with the fountain, formed a Hidden Dragon Formation in feng shui. He wondered if the designer of the complex truly understood this feng shui layout or if it was a lucky coincidence.

After entering the complex, the Hummer slowed down and finally stopped in front of a villa. A beautiful woman stood at the door, none other than Mo Yongxin.

Mo Yongxin was wearing a plaid shirt, her long hair flowing over her shoulders. Her fair face was makeup-free, her almond-shaped eyes pure and bright, her nose straight, and her cherry lips slightly parted.

"Mr. Qin, please come in!"

"Miss Mo, you are too kind."

Even after being exposed to Meng Yao's beauty, Qin Yu was still momentarily stunned by Mo Yongxin's appearance today, but he quickly composed himself. The three of them entered the villa's living room.

"Brother Qin has arrived!"

In the living room, a voice came from the sofa. Qin Yu recognized the person—it was He Ping, the feng shui master he had met with Mo Yongxin on Feng Shui Street.

"Miss Mo, why have you called me here today?"

While they were drinking tea, Mo Yongxing was eager to speak. Qin Yu found it amusing and finally asked.

"Let Master He explain it to you."

He Ping put down his tea and looked at Qin Yu, saying, "Have you heard of Dragon Crystal Liquid?"

"Dragon Crystal Liquid!" Qin Yu exclaimed, his voice slightly louder. Seeing Qin Yu's reaction, He Ping continued, "It seems that Brother Qin has indeed received a high-level inheritance, as you know about Dragon Crystal Liquid."

"Ha ha, when I was in the mountain temple, my master mentioned it, but I was young and don't remember it clearly. Please continue, Master He." Qin Yu skillfully avoided He Ping's attempt to inquire about his lineage, attributing everything to the deceased Taoist.
