Chapter 2266 - 1898: Slope in Front of the Door (Part 3)

Chapter 2266: Chapter 1898: Slope in Front of the Door (Part 3)

Hearing that, Self-taught Sister in the crowd muttered first:

"Then we’re screwed. My hometown Shan City is done for—there’s not a single place in the whole city with good feng shui."

Her complaint wasn’t quiet; quite a few people nearby heard it. Then they mulled it over—Shan City?

Oh boy, that city’s just like its name, full of towering mountains everywhere!

You live on the "first floor," but there might be twenty-something floors underneath; going to school is like climbing a stairway to heaven, steps layer after layer.

If you put it that way, isn’t it just that the terrain of the whole area is like that?

That Great Immortal naturally heard it too.

He immediately felt displeased: this rich Lao Song’s family sure invited a lot of outsiders, huh? This is Yun City; what are they talking about Shan City for?

But no need to panic!

There are still key points to come:

"Let’s look at this terrain again. If you’re going to build houses, you definitely can’t level everything flat, right? By then, people might end up living right on this downslope."

"What do we say in feng shui? A slope in front of your door means a life of toil and running around. The qi flows away with the slope, and it’s hard to gain wealth and blessings."

Just think about it—living in a feng shui spot like this, working hard your whole life and not saving a single cent, wouldn’t that be such a pity!

He shook his head in deep sorrow, convinced no one could ignore something like financial fortune, and at this moment could only say in a heartbroken tone: "If this plot of land weren’t so big, affecting so many people, I really shouldn’t be saying this and cutting off people’s livelihood."

...

The murmurs and low-voiced chatter in the crowd gradually grew.

This was only human nature.

When it comes to a field they don’t understand, if someone puts on a bit of authority, it’s hard for everyone not to be influenced.

Even if you’re living comfortably at home, if you suddenly hear someone mutter something about the feng shui being bad, you’ll probably end up with a knot in your heart.

That village Great Immortal might not have much real skill, but when it comes to grasping people’s hearts, he’s amassed decades of experience!

The villagers muttered among themselves; it was hard not to be affected.

After all, quite a few of them were hoping their children could live nearby in the future, and they did have plans to buy houses here.

But with the Great Immortal saying this, even though Wu Lan had gone around the village telling people how unreliable he was, what he just said really sounded quite reasonable!

Back in their village, when people built houses, they generally didn’t pick sloped land either.

In the crowd, Li Lanhua was listening, eyes bright, but at the same time starting to worry:

"If this place isn’t good, we’ll still have to go into the city to buy a house for Tianyu..." Houses in the city are more expensive, though.

But as soon as she finished speaking, none of the farm employees gathered around echoed her, and she couldn’t help but look over in curiosity, only to see everyone’s faces full of excitement, without the slightest bit of worry.

She couldn’t help but feel puzzled: "They’re building houses here and you’ll all be living in them later. If it’s no good, what are you going to do?"

The one she asked was Yun Duo.

Yun Duo gave Li Lanhua a puzzled look: "Auntie, you just listen to this Great Immortal for the fun of it, how can you actually believe him? I only listen to the Daoist Master."

Say what you will, but in these past few days while Daoist Qingyun was wandering around the village, whenever he opened his mouth, not a single word was thrown on empty ground.

"Exactly!" someone next to her chimed in, "The Daoist Master seemed to really like this plot of land just now; it definitely isn’t like what he said."

As for why everyone was so unwavering in choosing the Daoist Master... just look at the excitement still on Yun Duo’s face and you’d know.

Her sister went to get a blood test yesterday; by evening the results came out—she really is pregnant!

The doctor even said it was rare for someone to be so early in realizing it and coming in specifically to check for this; apparently it hasn’t even been half a month!

If the Daoist Master didn’t have real skills, how could he be so sure with just one look that her sister was pregnant?

Once that story started spreading last night, practically every employee on the mountain who could come, came today.

Only the security guards on duty were left grumbling. But the duty roster is made weekly, and the Daoist Master’s visit was a last-minute decision, so there was no way to switch.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan had deliberately brought Liang Jing’s parents over into the employees’ crowd, and now this pair of parents naturally also heard the little things everyone was whispering about.

Mrs. Liang kept silent, putting on a serious face as if she didn’t quite believe any of it, but inside she was burning with excitement.

Especially those snippets people mentioned, and questions like how the Master could tell at a glance that Sister Yun Duo was pregnant so early—Mrs. Liang’s ears practically pricked up!

Being able to tell at a glance that someone’s been pregnant for less than half a month—oh my, just this alone would give her a story to tell for ages when she goes back.

At this moment she couldn’t be bothered about her daughter’s "unqualified" boyfriend anymore; all her mind and fiery gaze were pinned on the Daoist Master, and she wished she could charge into the crowd and shout:

"Daoist Master, take a look at my girl’s marriage prospects!"

Mr. Liang, on the other hand, still had some calm left. He looked at Chen Yuan, then at the Daoist Master, and now quietly asked his wife:

"You said it yourself, the Daoist Master was the one who suggested we come. If he says the two of them are a match made in heaven, what are we supposed to do then?"

His daughter with such a steady future in a public institution, with a guaranteed income come flood or drought—does she really have to get married out here in the countryside? And marry this disabled Security Team captain?
