After sending Yu Qingying home, Tang Zhendong returned to his rented apartment in Xinjaicun. As soon as he entered, he saw Old Ye pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
"Hey, Old Ye, are you practicing grinding or walking in circles?" Tang Zhendong couldn't resist teasing him as soon as he saw Old Ye.
"Oh, Master Tang, Master Tang, I've been looking for you everywhere." Old Ye was delighted to see Tang Zhendong finally return.
"Brother Zhendong, you're back?" Zhao Lili poked her head out of the house. "This uncle said he had something to find you about and has been waiting since four o'clock."
"Thanks, Lili."
Tang Zhendong opened the door and invited Old Ye inside. "What's so urgent? Is it because our daughter has started school and can't cook for us anymore?"
"Cut the crap. I have something serious to discuss. Actually, it's not me, but Qian Wenchang who's looking for you." Old Ye looked very anxious.
"Looking for me or us?"
"Both of us. Didn't he hire a great master to handle the Three Yin site for him?" Old Ye didn't want to waste time on Tang Zhendong's pointless questions and got straight to the point.
"What? Can't he handle it? Isn't this perfect? Our business is picking up. I've been thinking, we should rent a place and set up our stall properly. That's the right way to go."
Tang Zhendong's endless chatter was cut off by Old Ye's wave of the hand. "Let's not talk about renting a place yet. I haven't finished what I was saying."
Tang Zhendong spread his hands. "Okay, go on."
"Yesterday, Master Dade went to Qian Wenchang's house. Qian Wenchang's family, probably following our advice, has been staying in the old house for the past two days. Master Dade rearranged many things in the mansion, replaced a lot of items, and added many feng shui decorations. He was busy until midnight when something strange happened. At midnight, the mansion suddenly filled with red men and green women. Master Dade and the workers were so scared that one fainted on the spot, two fell ill, and Qian Wenchang himself was left in a state of shock. Now, he and Master Dade are in the hospital."
"Old Ye, are you kidding me? How can ghosts and spirits appear? Who are you trying to fool?" Tang Zhendong was skeptical, but Old Ye's serious expression didn't seem like a joke.
"Do I have time to joke with you? I've been waiting for you since the afternoon, and I've been waiting until now. Do I have time to joke with you?"
"Then how do you know about these things? You didn't go to Qian Wenchang's mansion with Master Dade, did you?"
"Qian Wenchang called me this morning, and I went to the hospital to see him. Master Dade told me about these things, and he was clearly very scared, still in a state of shock."
"Today is September 2nd, which is the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the Ghost Festival."
Tang Zhendong knew Old Ye wasn't lying when he heard this, as Old Ye's expression was very serious. "Old Ye, do you think we should take this job?"
Tang Zhendong had only studied feng shui and geomancy and had never encountered such ghostly matters, so he had no idea what to expect and no confidence.
"Master Tang, you have to decide. You're the main one now. If you say yes, we'll do it." Old Ye had become very admiring of Tang Zhendong after a series of recent events. He had seen Tang Zhendong's versatility, and now Tang Zhendong was Old Ye's mainstay. Otherwise, Old Ye wouldn't have waited for hours in front of Tang Zhendong's house.
Tang Zhendong looked at his watch; it was already past seven. "Let's go to the hospital and see Qian Wenchang."
The two of them took a taxi straight to the hospital. Qian Wenchang looked haggard, and beside him were his mother, Shen Fanhua, and his sister, Qian Wenmei.
On the other bed was the master of feng shui in Haicheng, Master Dade.
"Master Ye, Master Tang, you're here? Sister, help me sit up." Qian Wenmei helped Qian Wenchang sit up. "Mom, Sister, you two go home first. I'm fine, I just need to talk to Master Ye."
Shen Fanhua, knowing what her son wanted to discuss with Master Ye, left with her daughter.
"Please sit, Masters." This time, Qian Wenchang spoke personally.
Qian Wenchang had prepared a lot for the feng shui of his mansion, including a large black sky god of wealth, a bronze three-sha night light cup, a bronze five-clawed golden dragon, and of course, a large feng shui ball to directly dispel the bad luck of the Qian family.
At Qian Wenchang's house, Master Dade placed these feng shui items in appropriate locations and rearranged the furniture according to the Bagua directions on the feng shui compass.
However, although Master Dade knew to place the items according to the compass directions, he overlooked one crucial point: he held the compass incorrectly. Would the results from the compass be accurate? Of course, Tang Zhendong wouldn't say this. Not only would it be hurtful, but even if it weren't, he and Master Dade were in the same profession, and they shouldn't undermine each other.
While competition among peers is common, it should be done discreetly. In public, they must coexist peacefully. If you criticize your peers in front of outsiders, it's like belittling your own profession. If the profession has so many bad apples, how can you be any better? It also gives outsiders a chance to understand the profession and look down on it as a whole.
These insights were taught to Tang Zhendong by some big thieves in prison. Although the world is diverse, the principles are the same.
Master Dade brought two assistants and worked until midnight, with Qian Wenchang accompanying him the whole time. His mother and sister, following Old Ye's advice, stayed in the old house.
At midnight, strange things began to happen. First, there was a whistling wind, then ghostly wails, and finally, the house was filled with eerie shadows, with several ghosts surrounding almost everyone. Not only was Qian Wenchang, who had never seen such a scene, terrified, but even Master Dade, who was in the profession, felt a dark cloud envelop his head. One of Master Dade's assistants lost control of his bladder and bowels, and the other fainted.
Finally, Master Dade regained his composure, opened the door, and fled. After calming down, he called an ambulance, and with the help of the doctors and nurses, they got everyone to the hospital.
"Were the two workers you brought male or female?"
"Male, both of them."
"Men have the strongest yang energy, so this doesn't make sense!" Tang Zhendong was puzzled by Qian Wenchang's words.
