At this moment, the people from the Hao family had already buried the grave, and Qin Yu stopped discussing ghost matters. He briskly walked to the front of the grave, leaving the Mo siblings staring at each other in place.
Qin Yu picked up a brush from the desk. The carved tombstone had already been erected by someone. He took a deep breath, and the brush in his hand slowly moved across the tombstone as he recited:
"I now hold the brush towards the heavenly court, with the twenty-four mountains as sacred spirits. The sage Kong granted me the brush of literature, enabling me to create for countless generations. Dipping into the clear heavens, dipping into the spiritual earth. Bestowing longevity upon humanity, and spirits to their masters. Adding a touch of red from above, making generations of descendants into top scholars!"
Qin Yu's brush didn't move quickly, seemingly swiping through empty space, but it gave the impression of actually touching the tombstone. Each stroke carried an indescribable sense of Dao, especially the final stroke. Everyone felt a flash of red light, which leaped into the tombstone and disappeared.
"Was I just seeing things?" Some people rubbed their eyes, staring fixedly at the tombstone, but the red light didn't reappear. If everyone present had seen it wrong, it wouldn't be convincing.
"This Master Qin is a true Feng Shui master!"
An old man sighed and resolved everyone's confusion. "When I was young, during the burial of my grandfather, who is also your great-grandfather, we invited a Taoist priest from the mountain. That Taoist priest, just like Master Qin, took a brush and made a stroke on the tombstone, saying it was the 'Tomb Pointing Technique.' Each stroke emitted a yellow light. However, since then, I have witnessed countless burials, but no one has been able to perform the tomb pointing technique."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Apart from the tomb pointing technique, Qin Yu's previous performance and the supernatural phenomena they had witnessed were completely unfamiliar to them. Even some young people who had initially been skeptical about Feng Shui couldn't help but be convinced this time. It wasn't that Feng Shui was unreliable; it was just that there were too few people who truly understood it.
Hao Jianguo had a delighted expression on his face. Qin Yu's performance made him glad that he hadn't put on airs. At this moment, he was thinking about how to thank Qin Yu once this matter of his grandfather's tomb relocation was over. Maintaining a good relationship with such a master was necessary.
After pointing the tombstone, Qin Yu stood up. The several stonemasons nearby looked at him with reverence. They had done the job of building tombs for others numerous times, but it was the first time they had seen someone make a tomb glow with light through pointing. They carefully positioned the tombstone and then began bricklaying.
Qin Yu walked to the junction of the stream and the corridor. Only one step remained for this burial site—to redirect the flow of the stream. A group of people followed closely behind him, having witnessed his miraculous abilities and eager to see how he would change the course of the stream.
At the junction of the corridor and the stream, there were three pillars inserted according to the positions of the Three Powers. These pillars were crafted by the stonemasons according to Qin Yu's design.
The junction between the corridor and the stream was separated by a three-inch wide layer of soil, and these three pillars were inserted between this three-inch layer of soil. Qin Yu picked up an iron hammer and approached one of the pillars without a word.
The pillar was not tall, about thirty centimeters exposed above the ground, and with the yellow soil beneath, it didn't take long for the top of the pillar to be revealed outside the soil. The onlookers held their breath, their eyes fixed on Qin Yu.
"Bang!"
With Qin Yu's final strike, the entire pillar sank completely into the soil. The crowd felt a vibration under their feet, and then someone exclaimed, "Oh my, why isn't the water flowing? It's stopped there!"
"It's true, it has stopped flowing. What's going on?"
Upon hearing the surrounding exclamations, Qin Yu's lips curled up into a smile. The cessation of the water flow was related to the pillar he had just struck. These three pillars were actually a small-scale Three Powers water gathering formation. The one Qin Yu struck was called the Stop Water Pillar. However, stopping the water flow was only the first step; the focus was yet to come.
Approaching the pillar on the right, Qin Yu gripped it with both hands and pulled it upward with force. The entire pillar was immediately pulled out, and a stream of water gushed out, forming a spring that continued to flow outward.
Seeing this, the onlookers realized that the peculiar phenomenon of the stream and spring must be related to these three pillars. Now, only the middle pillar remained untouched. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Qin Yu, waiting for his next move.
However, to everyone's surprise, after pulling out the right pillar, Qin Yu didn't make any further moves. Instead, he wore a smile and shouted to the side, "Mo Yongxing, come over here!"
"What do you need me for?"
Mo Yongxing was puzzled but still walked over to Qin Yu's side. Qin Yu whispered something in his ear, causing Mo Yongxing's eyes to light up. Finally, he hesitantly asked, "Is that enough?"
"Yes, just do as I said."
Qin Yu nodded, giving him an encouraging look. Mo Yongxing walked up to the middle pillar, amidst the puzzled expressions of the crowd. He gripped the pillar with both hands and slowly turned it to the right three times, then to the left three times. After completing these actions, he lifted his foot and stomped heavily in a certain direction.
"What?!"
After that stomp, the middle pillar rapidly started rotating. Though Mo Yongxing had anticipated it to some extent, his mouth still gaped wide open. Meanwhile, the spring on the right side suddenly became violent, and a jet of water sprayed out directly towards Mo Yongxing.
"What the hell, Qin Yu, are you playing a trick on me?"
The water in the mountain stream was already cold, and caught off guard, Mo Yongxing was sprayed by the stream, shivering involuntarily. His clothes were almost completely soaked.
"Look, water is emerging beneath the corridor!"
Although everyone was initially attracted by Mo Yongxing's embarrassed appearance, their attention was soon diverted by something else. Suddenly, a stream of water emerged from the corridor, which was as wide as three inches of mud, and began to flow gently.
As Qin Yu watched the flowing stream in the corridor's water channel, a smile appeared on his elegant face. The Triple Unity Water Formation had finally been successfully activated. In fact, all things in the world have spirits, and water is no exception. Changing the direction of the water flow abruptly was naturally not to its liking, hence the action of the fountain spraying towards Mo Yongxing. After all, Mo Yongxing was the one who had completed the final step in activating the Triple Unity Water Formation.
"I... I actually managed to redirect the water flow!"
At first, Mo Yongxing stared angrily at Qin Yu, but when he saw the stream of water emerging from the corridor's water channel, a satisfied expression appeared on his face. This was all his masterpiece, and in that moment, he even forgot about being sprayed by the fountain.
"Majestic and formidable, yet there is a true dragon dwelling within its lair..."
Inside the Qin family's courtyard, Qin Yu stood in front of a stone table, holding a brush in his hand as he wrote down the above sentence. This sentence came from the chapter "Seeking the Dragon" in the Classic of Medical Prescriptions by Zhuge.
Ring, ring...
The sound of a cellphone ringing interrupted him, and Qin Yu took it out to answer the call.
"Mr. Qin, this is Mo Yongxin. I wonder if you are available today. There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Do you need something from me? I'm available today."
"In that case, please wait at home, and I'll have my younger brother come and pick you up. I have a favor to ask of you, Mr. Qin."
After hanging up Mo Yongxin's call, Qin Yu fell into deep thought.
Two days ago, the matter of relocating Haoguo Jian's grandfather's grave had been completely resolved. Qin Yu received another envelope from Haoguo Jian, but compared to the previous bulky envelope, this one felt quite light. Inside, there was only a bank card, with Qin Yu's name as the account holder. With Haoguo Jian's influence, it was too simple for him to open a bank account for Qin Yu. He didn't even need Qin Yu's ID.
Qin Yu took a moment to check the balance on the card at an ATM. It was a six-figure amount, with a one at the front and five zeros after it. Although he knew that Haoguo Jian wouldn't be stingy with his resources, holding this hundred thousand yuan bank card still made Qin Yu's heart beat a little faster.
No wonder ancient feng shui masters dealt with influential and wealthy individuals. At this moment, Qin Yu understood the reason. However, after a brief excitement, Qin Yu's mood returned to calm. Although he wasn't resistant to money, he wasn't someone who lived for it. A noble person loves money, but with principles. He could accept this money with a clear conscience.
Mo Yongxing's Hummer turned a few corners in the county town and finally entered a villa community on the outskirts. Qin Yu sat in the back seat, and he had some understanding of this community.
The community had been developed two years ago and covered over a thousand acres, but it was filled with villas. It was said that each villa was worth tens of millions. Although Qin Yu had heard about it, he never had the opportunity to visit.
The entrance of the community featured a fountain with two golden dragons, their teeth bared and claws extended, seemingly soaring into the sky. Qin Yu nodded in approval, recognizing the auspicious Feng Shui pattern of the Hidden Dragon Formation enhanced by the presence of the fountain. Whether the designer of this community truly understood this Feng Shui arrangement or stumbled upon it by accident remained unknown.
As they entered the community, the Hummer's speed noticeably slowed down, eventually coming to a stop in front of a villa where a beautiful woman stood at the entrance. It was Mo Yongxin.
Mo Yongxin was wearing a checkered shirt today, with her long hair cascading down. Her fair complexion required no makeup, and her pure almond-shaped eyes blinked gently. With a delicate nose and slightly parted cherry lips, she spoke, "Mr. Qin, please come in!"
"Miss Mo, you're too kind."
Even though Qin Yu had experienced the alluring beauty of Meng Yao, he couldn't help but be impressed by Mo Yongxin's appearance today. However, he quickly concealed his reaction and together they entered the villa's living room.
"Qin Brother has arrived!"
Upon entering the living room, a voice came from the sofa. Qin Yu recognized the person, as it was the Feng Shui master He Ping, who had been with Mo Yongxin on Feng Shui Street.
"What brings Miss Mo to me today?"
As they sat down for tea, Mo Yongxing seemed eager to speak, and Qin Yu found it amusing. Finally, he took the initiative to ask, "Why don't you let Master He explain?"
Upon hearing Mo Yongxin's words, He Ping put down the tea cup in his hand and fixed his gaze on Qin Yu. He began, "Qin Brother, have you ever heard of Dragon Crystal Elixir?"
"Dragon Crystal Elixir!" Qin Yu exclaimed, his voice slightly louder. Seeing Qin Yu's expression, He Ping continued, "It seems that Qin Brother has indeed received guidance from a master. You actually know about Dragon Crystal Elixir."
"Hehe, my master mentioned it when I was at the Daoist temple on the mountain. However, I was young at the time, and my memory is not very clear. Master He, please continue," Qin Yu cleverly evaded He Ping's inquiry about his master's lineage. After all, he could simply attribute everything to the deceased Taoist.
