Chapter 46

"This is an aerial map of the entire GZ city. Our development zone is right here, and this is the design effect of our development zone."

In Zhang Hua's office, Qin Yu and his group gathered around a computer monitor, and the screen displayed an aerial view of the entire city of Guangzhou.

From the map, one could clearly see the mountains around Guangzhou. One mountain range particularly caught Qin Yu's attention: the Baiyun Mountain Range. The fact that Guangzhou has a dragon vein is a consensus among feng shui masters, but the number of dragon veins and which one is the main vein are subjects of debate. However, the Baiyun Mountain Range has always been recognized as one of the dragon veins by many feng shui masters.

"This development zone has a good location." Qin Yu could see from the map that the development zone was directly below the Baiyun Mountain Range, where the dragon vein of the Baiyun Mountain Range enters the ground, making it a feng shui blessed land.

"This development area was determined by the company's cultural environment advisory experts. They said that this place is on the path of the dragon vein of the Baiyun Mountain Range, which can absorb some of the dragon qi. People living here will certainly benefit from the nourishment of the dragon qi, making it a place of outstanding people and fertile land." Li Weijun interjected, as a real estate developer, he also had many feng shui masters responsible for selecting locations for real estate development.

"Indeed, this area is continuously nourished by the dragon vein of the Baiyun Mountain Range. People who live here long-term will be slightly stronger in both physical and mental aspects compared to those in other places."

Qin Yu nodded, agreeing with the feng shui masters' assessment. If this place is developed, the house prices will inevitably be sky-high, and those who understand feng shui will be willing to buy. As long as the dragon vein of the Baiyun Mountain Range is not damaged, the house prices in this area will only rise.

Actually, this situation is quite common. We often find that some places have produced many famous figures in certain fields. Besides their own efforts, these people share a common point: the places they live are feng shui treasures. After they die, they also like to be buried in their hometowns, not only out of the custom of returning to their roots but also with the hope of benefiting future generations by being buried in a feng shui good place.

"Master Qin, since you have confirmed that this is a treasure land, why is there a sha qi (negative energy) here?"

"Let me take a closer look."

Qin Yu took a pen and a blank piece of paper, staring at the map on the monitor, and his hand moved continuously. Soon, a wavy line appeared on the paper, resembling a stock price curve.

Then, Qin Yu marked some points on the line with text or circles. Li Weijun and Zhang Hua looked on in confusion but did not disturb Qin Yu, choosing to wait quietly.

"Here..." Qin Yu's pen tip tapped several times at the lowest point of the curve, muttering to himself, "Dragon turns over, why would a good dragon turn over? It's really strange."

Qin Yu used the mouse to click on a point on the map, and the buildings in the vicinity immediately appeared on the map. It was an industrial park, not far from Qin Yu's current construction site.

"Master Qin, this is the nearby industrial park, which has many factories. What's the matter? Is this related to the sha qi here?" Li Weijun blinked and asked.

"It is related. If I'm not mistaken, the problem lies in this industrial park. Come and take a look..."

Qin Yu called Li Weijun and Zhang Hua over, pointing to the curve drawn on the paper, and said, "This is the path of the dragon vein of the Baiyun Mountain Range. There's no problem with the dragon vein before this point. This point is the lowest point of the dragon vein, the lowest part of its path."

"Dragons have high and low points, isn't it normal to have low points?" Li Weijun looked at Qin Yu and expressed his opinion. The feng shui experts he hired had also told him that dragon veins have high and low points, which is a normal thing.

"True, dragon veins do have high and low points, but generally, the fluctuations of a dragon vein are not too large. A high dragon vein must lower its head, and a low dragon vein must turn over. Whether it's a dragon raising its head or turning over, it is a bad omen in feng shui."

"There is a saying in feng shui called 'yin dragon yang receives,' which means that we living people are nourished by the yin dragon vein. The front part of the Baiyun Mountain Range is all yin dragon, but at this point, it suddenly turns over, forming a yang dragon. A yang dragon receiving yin is meant for the dead. A place that was originally good for living people has turned into a burial site for the dead, which is why there are problems."

"What should we do?"

Hearing Qin Yu's explanation, Li Weijun's face changed. If this were true, his development project would be ruined, and all the initial investments would be wasted. Who would want to buy a house or open a shop in a place suitable for the dead?

"First, we need to find the root cause of the dragon turning over in that industrial park and then think of a solution. Unfortunately..."

"What's unfortunate..."

"Nothing." Qin Yu shook his head. He was thinking of the stolen dragon compass. If the dragon compass were still with him, finding the cause of the dragon turning over would be much easier.

"Should we go to the industrial park now, Master Qin?"

"Yes, let's go now."

Qin Yu was also very curious about what caused the dragon to turn over. Once a dragon vein is formed, its yin and yang attributes are usually fixed, and it is not easy to make a dragon turn over.

The industrial park was not far away. The group got into Li Weijun's Mercedes, and it took only about ten minutes to reach the entrance of the industrial park. The Mercedes did not stop at the entrance but drove straight in.

This industrial park covered a hundred acres and was an older industrial area. Some of the buildings were in disrepair, still using the wooden windows with steel bars from the 1990s. In the寸土寸金 (highly valuable) GZ city, the existence of such an industrial park seemed unbelievable to Qin Yu.

Seemingly noticing Qin Yu's confusion, Li Weijun explained, "Master Qin, this industrial park belongs to Japanese businessmen. The government at the time did not know the future development speed of GZ and sold this land to Japanese businessmen. These buildings were constructed by Japanese businessmen. Although they are now dilapidated, the contract has not expired, and due to international relations, the government cannot forcibly demolish them."

"The government, always targeting the internal." A hint of sarcasm appeared on Qin Yu's lips. This completely outdated industrial park could still exist in the city center simply because it belonged to foreigners. If it were Chinese, it would have been demolished long ago.

"Master, stop the car." As the Mercedes drove in front of a building, Qin Yu suddenly shouted to the driver.

Getting out of the car, Qin Yu carefully examined the building in front of him. It was a building with a unique construction style, shaped like a sharp knife, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and without any windows, with solid cement walls from the ground floor to the top.

"Huh, what is this building used for? Why is it so strange?" At this moment, not only Qin Yu but also Li Weijun and Zhang Hua noticed the peculiar nature of the building, which violated common architectural knowledge.

"Let's go and take a look."

This building seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Two iron gates were locked with a large padlock, which was already rusted, indicating that it had not been opened for a long time.

"Hey, what are you doing? You can't just enter this building." As Qin Yu was examining the iron gate, a young man in a security uniform walked over, first looking at the Mercedes, then at Li Weijun, and lowering his voice, said:

"This is an industrial park. Which company are you from? Don't you know that you can't approach this building?"

"Can't approach?" Qin Yu followed the security guard's finger and saw a wooden sign by the roadside, which read, "Company premises, no entry for outsiders."

"This is a company? Who are you trying to fool? Who would work in such a building? Besides, if it were a company, why would the lock on the iron gate be rusted?"

Zhang Hua sneered. Any clear-eyed person could see that this was an abandoned factory. What could be wrong with going in to take a look?

"This is a rule set by the Japanese businessmen. This factory does not allow outsiders to approach. You should leave quickly." The security guard's attitude was quite good, and he did not try to forcibly drive them away. Qin Yu guessed it was due to Li Weijun's presence, as his high-end suit and the luxury Mercedes indicated his status.

"Brother Security, when was this building constructed, and what company used to be here? Why was it built so strangely?" Qin Yu gave Zhang Hua a nod, and the latter understood, taking out a cigarette and offering it to the security guard.

"Bosses, why are you asking about this? I've only been here for a little over a year. When I came, this building was already here, and it was empty and abandoned. As for why it was built so strangely, who knows what the Japanese were thinking."

The young security guard smiled, took the cigarette, and placed it behind his ear, revealing all he knew. His words showed little respect for his Japanese boss, and then he seemed to remember something and said to Qin Yu and the others, "But the old guard, Gu Lao, should know. He was a security guard here when he was young and is now the gatekeeper. He probably knows what this building was used for."

"Is he the security guard at the front gate? He doesn't look old, quite young." When they drove in, Qin Yu noticed that the person in the guardhouse was a young man.

"That's the front gate. Gu Lao guards the back gate. Just drive straight down this road, then turn left at the next corner, and keep driving until the last intersection, then turn right to reach the back gate."

"Thank you, Brother Security. Mr. Li, let's go to the back gate."

The group got back into the car. In the car, Zhang Hua couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yu, what did you see? Is the dragon turning over related to this building?"

"There's a high possibility." Qin Yu nodded and then said to Li Weijun, "Mr. Li, can you find the information on the Japanese developer of this industrial park?"
