Chapter 156 Feng Shui and Qian Family Gifts (8000)
Xu Bai didn't expect that the other party would refuse so decisively. In his mind, even if he refused, he would be a little more tactful.
But seeing Patriarch Qian in front of him, it was obvious that what I said seemed to hit his pain point.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai was about to speak, but unexpectedly Patriarch Qian spoke again, this time, it was still a very serious refusal.
"If it's about other things, as long as Mr. Xu asks, we will definitely help, but this matter is out of the question. Mr. Xu must know the current situation of our family before coming, so we will never do Feng Shui. I touched it." Patriarch Qian said decisively.
Xu Bai touched his chin: "Even if it's just a little use, it's okay?"
Patriarch Qian shook his head vigorously: "Master Xu is a sensible person. If we use it, the whole family will suffer violent death. This is absolutely impossible."
Xu Bai sighed.
He also understood that the other party did have difficulties, and the difficulties were very serious.
If the power of Feng Shui is used, the whole family will easily fall into the crisis of sudden death. This situation is very rare, but it is also very serious.
Xu Bai is not an unreasonable person, and the other party didn't offend him, so if he explained the reason clearly to him, of course he wouldn't force it.
Thinking of this, he was going to leave first. After all, under such circumstances, the Qian family would definitely not help, so he had better go back and think of other ways by himself.
It didn't come to fruition, before he could say anything, there were bursts of boiling sounds outside the door.
A member in ordinary clothes ran in from the outside. Because of being too flustered, he tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground on the way. After falling to the ground.
He didn't care either, and crawled up from the ground with his hands and feet, and said eagerly in his tone.
"Patriarch, it's not good. Uncle wanted to study the power of feng shui, but unexpectedly, he broke in the middle, and now time is running out."
"What! Didn't I say it? Only I can study it. Don't let them do this. The danger is too high. Why don't you listen?" Patriarch Qian's expression changed, and he hurried out of the door.
He seems to have something very urgent right now, and he didn't take care to say goodbye to Xu Pai, so he just left in such a hurry. The family member who came in to report just now stood up, and followed Patriarch Qian in a panic.
Ye Zi said: "Sure enough, even a family that is favored by His Majesty the Emperor still wants to regain its former vitality."
Xu Bai pushed the teacup aside: "How do you say it?"
Ye Zi's eyes fluttered, and he said softly: "My lord, it's obvious that they want to regain the glory of the past, and they must also be studying Feng Shui, but they just don't use it, but if they really study it, there must be a little risk. I figured it out from what he just said."
Xu Bai thought for a moment, and said, "Follow and have a look."
Studying the power of feng shui, so to speak, she seems to have seen a way, but she still needs to see if it can be what he thinks.
The two of them went out the door and rushed towards the direction where the sound was boiling.
…
I have to say that the Qian family is really very luxurious. After all, it was for the sake of the emperor that the entire family was put on top of it, so the emperor took special care of the Qian family. Taking the yard as an example, the average wealthy family is really Not so big.
Following the direction of the voice, Xu Bai and Ye Zi finally found their place after walking for a while.
At this moment, members of the Qian family were already piled up in the open space in front of them. They were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
There were crying sounds from time to time, coming from inside, it was very miserable to hear, and it was unbearable to look sideways. At the same time, it was also mixed with Patriarch Qian's voice.
"Why don't you listen to me? This matter is extremely dangerous, and I can only study it, but if you don't listen to me, I can't recover now." Patriarch Qian's voice was filled with incomparable sadness. smell.
"Patriarch, you have paid too much for the Qian family. You even suffered backlash because of your research that day, and fell directly to the fourth rank. I can't bear to see you like this." The voice was weak, out of breath, always I feel like I'm going to die after I finish my next sentence.
Patriarch Qian continued to speak, and most of what he said was regret and uneasiness. At this time, the person who had been answering him spoke less and less, and finally turned into a scream, completely silent.
"Uncle!"
Some members cried bitterly, infecting the people around them, and the crying became louder and spread around.
After a while, the crowd made way for two family members to carry a stretcher covered with a black cloth, and Patriarch Qian followed behind, his brows full of sadness.
At this time, Patriarch Qian also saw Xu Bai who hadn't left from the road that he gave way to.
After being slightly taken aback, Patriarch Qian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, forced himself to pull himself together, and walked to Xu Bai's side.
"Things at home happened too fast, which made Mr. Xu laugh."
"It doesn't matter." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Please give me condolences. People cannot be resurrected after death. Don't be too sad. Let this one be buried properly."
Patriarch Qian nodded and agreed.
"I heard just now that you are still studying the art of Fengshui. I don't know how?" Xu Bai asked.
Patriarch Qian thought that Xu Bai was just saying some polite words, so he didn't think too much, took out a dilapidated ancient book from his bosom, and said: "This is a book handed down by the family, and it is equivalent to a first-grade class when it is cultivated to perfection. "
"It's just that my talent is blunt. Even at the peak, I only stepped into the first rank with half a foot. Now due to the incident that day, I only have the fourth rank."
"If we can research to the peak, we should be able to solve our dilemma, so I have been researching."
"Because of the backlash we suffered, we must be cautious, like walking a tightrope on a cliff, but what I didn't expect was that he would reprint my book and study it secretly by himself."
"It's better now, and people can't be saved. All of this is life!"
While speaking, Patriarch Qian shook his head and sighed, his tone full of sadness.
Xu Bai heard all these words in his ears, but his eyes did not change at all, staring straight at the book in Patriarch Qian's hand.
Patriarch Qian was still babbling on, losing a family member suddenly was a big blow to him.
What's more, this family member is also a good hand in the family, so before he knew it, he talked too much, and he didn't notice Xu Bai's expression.
Xu Bai took advantage of Patriarch Qian's words and seemed to think of something. He suddenly had a perfect plan.
There is a golden progress bar on this book.
Study the essence of this book, research to the most perfect state, can help them solve their current predicament?
Isn't this his strength?
Researching this matter, of course, needless to say, he definitely doesn't know how to study it, and he doesn't know how to study it.
But he is familiar with the progress bar!
No one understands progress bars better than him!
So this is completely a plan to kill two birds with one stone. If he can take this opportunity to save the progress bar, wouldn't he have Feng Shui skills?
And he can also help the Qian family solve their difficulties. Taking a step back, even if he doesn't solve the difficulties, he can still acquire the skills of Feng Shui, so he doesn't have to come to the Qian family anymore.
"I can help you." Xu Bai said abruptly.
At this moment, Patriarch Qian was still rambling on, but Xu Bai's sudden sentence disrupted his words, and he even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Can you help him?
What does it mean to be able to help him? Can it help him solve the current plight of the family?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
In these years, who else knows how to solve the family's dilemma better than him.
Patriarch Qian said with a wry smile: "Master Xu, there is no need to say these things anymore. I understand how Master Xu feels, but now is not the time to say such things!"
Xu Bai pointed to Patriarch Qian's book, and said, "You just need to give me the book and give me another ten days. If I can't help you solve the current predicament, then I won't lose anything. How about returning the book to you?"
Ten days, because Xu Bai can't estimate how long it will take for the time being. Because this is a first-grade book, it is equivalent to a ninth-level book. He has never touched a first-grade book, so it is difficult to estimate for the time being.
Patriarch Qian was stunned, looking down at the book in his hand, not knowing how to answer.
Listening to the other party's meaning, it seems to be very sure, but do you really have to do what the other party said?
Giving the book to Xu Bai doesn't matter to him, after all, there are still many copies of this book in his hand.
And Xu Bai...
To be honest, even if Patriarch Qian doesn't believe in Xu Bai, he still believes in His Majesty the Emperor.
After all, the entire Qian family has given everything for the emperor, and the reason why they do this is because of their absolute loyalty to the emperor, so at this moment, a person who is trusted by the emperor, his Qian family also absolutely trusts.
That's all, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
Patriarch Qian finally figured it out. After all, in this desperate situation, a person who trusted the emperor suddenly came to him and said that he could help him solve his current predicament, and he would definitely be willing to do it.
Thinking of this, Patriarch Qian gritted his teeth, and resolutely handed over the book in his hand.
Xu Bai was slightly surprised on the contrary. He thought he would have to waste some time, but he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and seeing this posture, he didn't hesitate at all.
"Master Xu, if you can help the Qian family solve the current predicament, you will be the benefactor of my entire family." The head of the Qian family said seriously.
Xu Bai received it in his hand, looked at the progress bar that was slowly increasing, and said slowly.
"Although I can't guarantee absolutely, I will definitely give you an answer within ten days. Whether it is successful or not, this book will return to its original owner."
Patriarch Qian raised his hands, cupped his fists and said, "I'll take care of you, Mr. Xu."
Xu Bai nodded.
He is also very anxious now. After all, it seems that the solution must be a feng shui master.
Now that he has a Feng Shui master's book again, he just wants to go back and get the contents of the book down as soon as possible.
So after getting what he wanted, he didn't stay any longer, and after exchanging a few words with Patriarch Qian, he took Ye Zi and walked towards the inn.
Along the way, he looked down at the progress bar in his hand from time to time, and didn't put the book aside until he returned to the inn.
He also pondered for a while, put aside the epee method for the time being, and used his energy to get out the current Feng Shui book.
Thinking about this point, Xu Bai didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly watched the progress bar in front of him.
…
When Xu Baigan was progressing, a large group of people gathered in a small alley away from the busy streets of Fenghuazhou.
These people are dressed in various styles. If they are scattered, they are ordinary people in some cities.
But at this moment, they all gathered together, forming a large area.
Fortunately, these people also knew in their hearts that no one made a sound, and the whole alley seemed extremely silent.
In front of this group of people, stood an ordinary-looking man in linen clothes.
There are no special features on this man, except that his hands look unusually rough, and there is still a lot of dirt in his nails.
But it is not particularly obvious to ordinary people. After all, the dirt in the nails is also very common on ordinary people.
Of course, if you know what this person is doing, the dirt will no longer be unusual.
Gravediggers deal with all kinds of tombs all year round, which is equivalent to dealing with all kinds of soil. Some gravediggers are accustomed to using tools, while others trust their hands more. Obviously, the gravedigger in front of him believes more hands.
"Everyone, let me tell you a very bad news. The Tong family is gone. They all died unexpectedly. As for how they died, they should have been hunted down on the way out of Fenghua Prefecture." The gravedigger walked back and forth for a while. , and then slowly opened his mouth.
As soon as these words came out, all the people present gasped. Although they didn't speak, the expressions on their faces were very wonderful.
"You also know what this means. It means that we have lost our internal support in Fenghua Prefecture, and it also means that Xu Bai is definitely the one who killed the Tong family."
"After all, only Xu Bai will attack our people suddenly, so I can be sure that the Tong family has been exposed. As for how to expose it, I suspect that we have an inner ghost here."
The gravedigger is not an idiot. He has never sent anyone to provoke Xu Bai during this period, let alone leave any clues.
But it was inexplicable, and the only insider of the Tong family was exposed directly. Then, he couldn't think of other reasons except for the inside ghost.
The people present looked at each other in blank dismay and did not speak. Speaking at this time, no matter what they said, would become the target of everyone's attention.
The gravedigger continued: "Time is very urgent, and I don't have time to go fishing for big fish. I will slowly find out who the ghost is, so I won't investigate anymore."
"But it doesn't mean that my plan will be shelved. Now everyone leave with me."
"I hope that ghost understands a little bit, and don't tip off the news at this time, or I will let him know what life is better than death."
As he spoke, the gravedigger walked straight in one direction without waiting for these people to speak.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and in the end they didn't say much, and followed behind the gravedigger with their heads buried.
There are many people, but they are all scattered in piles.
And because this is a remote alley, located on the edge of the entire city, it didn't take long for them to leave the city and come to a wilderness.
At this time, they had already gathered, and under the leadership of the gravedigger, they rushed towards one direction quickly.
Among the crowd, an ordinary-looking man was walking quietly inside. He looked up at the people in front of him, but he followed silently without saying anything.
Not long after, they came to an inconspicuous mountain.
"Everyone, stay here. From now on, I hope you don't leave, and that ghost, it's best not to tip off the news." The gravedigger said slowly.
"Since I said this, I also hope that everyone can monitor each other. After all, my energy is limited and it is impossible to cover everything, but you can help me. If you don't want your whereabouts to be exposed, it is best to do your best to monitor the people around you. .”
The eyes of the people present froze, and then they looked at the people around them, full of vigilance.
The gravedigger smiled, found a seat, and sat down.
There is nothing better than using people's suspicion to do things, which is more effective than his energy to monitor.
The sun gradually sets and time slips away.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
The progress bar is slowly increasing, and after about a quarter of an hour, the last trace of the progress bar reaches completion.
Light blue smoke emerged in front of his eyes, gradually condensed into a line of text, and finally appeared in front of Xu Bai.
Feng Shui book, done!
【You observe the four-character feng shui secret technique and comprehend the four-character feng shui secret technique. 】
When this line of text appeared in front of his eyes, it did not turn into information as expected, but disappeared directly.
Xu Bai is very familiar with this scene.
This is a sign of fusion, but he is very confused. Under this situation, which skill will it be fused with?
He has the ability in Feng Shui, but he doesn't seem to have any skills in this area. With such doubts, he waited patiently.
Soon, the disappearing light blue smoke reappeared, twisted, and gathered into new words in midair.
【Find fusion options, fusion is in progress. 】
【Four-character feng shui secret art + human arithmetic = feng shui counts. 】
【Fusion successful! 】
The next moment, when the words Fusion Success appeared, the light blue words disappeared and turned into messages that entered Xu Bai's mind. The content about Feng Shui was gradually being digested by him.
The latest panel appears in front of you.
【Name: Xu Bai. 】
【Realm: Sanren of the third rank. 】
【Yidao Five Styles (Level 7): Full level. 】
【Reversing Zixiao Gangfeng Yin-Yang Song (level 7.5): full level. 】
【Returning Wind and Liuxue (Level 5): Full level. 】
【Walking Break Four Turns (Level 6): Full Level. 】
【Transferring flowers and trees (level 8): full level. 】
【Diamond Heart Demon Physique (level 4); full level. 】
[Strong Kidney Harvesting Technique (Level 5): Full level. 】
【True Solution of Hundred Poisons (Level 3): Full level. 】
【Ingenious Puppet Art (Level 6): Full level. 】
【Indestructible body (residual) (level 6): full level. 】
【Water adaptation method (level 5): full level. 】
【Feng Shui Arithmetic (Level 9): Full level. 】
【Comprehension: full level. 】
…
A ninth-level skill is equivalent to a first-level skill.
Xu Bai finished absorbing the information in his mind and opened his eyes.
This fusion is very powerful. Not only does he have a ninth-level feng shui skill, but because of the fusion, his fortune-telling ability has also been raised to the ninth level.
At this time, although the type of fortune-telling has not been improved, it is still tracking and measuring good and bad luck, but now the ability of this fortune-telling, even for a master of the first rank, has also been greatly improved in terms of good and bad fortune-telling.
He also finally knew why the two skills could be integrated. After all, Feng Shui and divination are relatively close categories.
Xu Baizai carefully recalled the information in his mind, and finally he has figured out how to solve the Qian family's situation.
Because of the backlash of luck, the Qian family couldn't use the power of Feng Shui again, otherwise it would lead to disaster.
But according to the skills acquired so far, there is a solution.
Suffering from the backlash of Fengshui, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to use Fengshui to solve it.
Thinking about this, Xu Bai took out a piece of paper and wrote down a countermeasure on it.
This is a feng shui array, a full-scale feng shui array.
In fact, there are also first-grade Fengshui masters in the Great Chu Kingdom, but they are not the same as the Qian family's Xiu after all, so it is very difficult to solve them. Even if they are of the same type, there is a slight difference, which is like heaven and earth. difference.
Xu Bai is different. His Feng Shui skills come from the Qian family, so he can solve them easily.
This feng shui formation is also the strongest feng shui formation in the skill of feng shui arithmetic, named Changtian Changdi.
The power of Changing Heaven and Earth is that it can turn bad luck into good luck and good luck into bad luck.
The materials needed for this feng shui certificate are not ordinary materials, but he believes that such a long-standing family of the Qian family must have a lot of heritage.
"In this way, their problem will be solved, and it only needs to be run in slowly."
The backlash against the Qian family has not lasted for a day or two. There is a saying that a disease comes like a mountain and goes away like a silk thread.
After finishing all this, he put down the pen in his hand and put away the paper.
After a while, Xu Bai suddenly had an idea.
He used feng shui calculations and used it on Ye Zi.
A golden compass appeared in front of him, above the compass, there was even a burst of feng shui power.
Xu Bai closed his eyes and felt carefully.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
Ye Zi was sitting quietly at the side, but when she felt Xu Bai's gaze, she suddenly felt hairy all over, as if Xu Bai had seen her whole body through.
It's not the feeling of being seen through clothes, but Xu Bai sees through his inner self.
"Master, you are..."
"I counted your fate, measured your fortune, and even looked at your Feng Shui." Xu Bai laughed.
Ye Zi asked curiously: "My lord, have you figured out anything?"
"It's very big, it's very big." Xu Bai said mysteriously: "It's a sign of great auspiciousness."
It is indeed auspicious, other than that, there is not even a trace of evil.
Ye Zi pursed her lips, and said with a smile, "I belong to the young master, so of course I am a lucky person, after all, the young master is a very lucky person."
Xu Bai patted Ye Zi's head, and was about to test himself again.
Actually, up to now, he doesn't have a particularly great understanding of his background. Whether it's the various strange things he encountered before, or the last time in the ghostly city, he has shown the extraordinaryness of his golden fingers.
Now that there is such a powerful skill, of course you have to try it.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai used Feng Shui calculations on himself.
The next moment, Xu Bai was stunned.
He tried it, but there was no result, everything about him was shrouded in fog, and he couldn't see anything.
As for good and bad...
This can be seen, and it is also a sign of good luck.
Feng Shui...is still shrouded in a fog.
The so-called feng shui is not just for things. In fact, people living in this world occupy the feng shui pattern.
But he is a fog.
This means that he cannot use Feng Shui to change his own fate, or in other words, the current first-rank skills are not enough to change his own fate.
"Hey! That is to say, my Feng Shui skills can only be used for others, or help in specific scenarios." Xu Bai suddenly felt that he was at a loss, but thinking about it later, he was not at a loss.
Feng Shui array is an extremely insidious skill. If you see other people's displeasure, arrange them randomly in that person's house, and ruin the other party's Feng Shui, what will happen is self-evident.
"Forget it, no matter what, it's still a first-rank skill." Xu Bai secretly said.
Now that his skills are satisfied, he doesn't want to stay any longer, so he quickly greets Ye Zi and rushes towards Qian's house.
Along the way, there was nothing else to come across, and we arrived at Qian's house very smoothly. When he arrived, the owner of Qian's family rushed over quickly.
"Master Xu, do you have a solution?" Patriarch Qian asked anxiously.
Can't tolerate him not being in a hurry, he is really like an ant on a hot pot right now.
In the past when there was no hope, he was not as anxious as he is now. He just studied step by step, but now that he is given hope, he is more anxious than anyone else.
Xu Bai saw Patriarch Qian's expression, and didn't say much, he took out the piece of paper and handed it to Patriarch Qian: "You should have the materials on this, but it may take a while to completely relieve, it may be Three years, maybe five years, but definitely not more than five years."
This is like treating a disease, how simple it is.
Patriarch Qian opened the paper in a hurry, and when he saw the content on it, he froze on the spot.
"This this…"
Although due to the change of fate at the beginning, coupled with research reasons, Patriarch Qian has already fallen to the realm of the fourth rank.
But he still has vision, and he can see the beauty of it at a glance. This is indeed what can solve his family's problems.
"Enough, enough!" Patriarch Qian's hand holding the paper trembled, indescribably excited: "I have waited for so many years, and I don't care about the past three to five years. Five years is too short."
"That's good. Since there is nothing wrong, I will leave." Xu Bai smiled.
This is actually a business. Now that the business has been completed, he should deal with his own affairs.
"Plop!"
At this moment, Patriarch Qian carefully put the paper in his arms in his arms, then straightened his clothes, knelt down in front of Xu Bai, and solemnly kowtowed three times.
"Patriarch Qian, absolutely not." Xu Bai turned his body slightly and did not accept the gift.
In terms of etiquette, the Great Chu Kingdom naturally has a set of rules. When the other party gives you a big gift, if you can afford it, you can accept it.
If you can't do it, you can either avoid it, or take a half salute sideways.
In Xu Bai’s view, he just started his own business. When someone gave him a book, he took the progress bar. Now he helps others solve problems. There is no such thing as who owes anyone.
He has a steelyard in his heart, which is also a principle. If a person has no principle, he will no longer be called a person.
"Master Xu, from now on, you are my family's great benefactor!" Patriarch Qian raised his head, tears streaming down his face.
At the beginning, they were willing to endure everything for His Majesty the Emperor.
But they are all people in special professions, why don't they want to continue this profession?
Passing on the family line and continuing the family business is deeply rooted in the hearts of each of them, so until now, they have not given up.
But every experiment is fruitless.
Now, Xu Bai has solved their problem, which is the greatest grace for their family.
"Get up." Xu Bai had no choice but to help Patriarch Qian up.
"Come here!" Patriarch Qian suddenly thought of something, and said, "Bring the Yin-Yang Fengshui map!"
A member was waiting outside. After hearing Patriarch Qian's words, he froze on the spot and left with a face full of shock after a long time.
"Patriarch Qian, what do you mean?" Xu Bai frowned.
Patriarch Qian pressed Xu Bai's hand, pulled him to sit down, and then said: "My Qian family has a clear grievance, and you have helped me a lot in this matter. I have nothing to repay, but I can only give you a small gift.
It's a pity that this formation will take three to five years to wear off the backlash on us. I also heard that Master Xu has to deal with things with feng shui, so there is something that can help Master Xu. "
"Oh?" Xu Bai became interested.
While the two of them were talking, the family member finally walked in, holding a scroll in his hand.
When Xu Bai saw this painting scroll, his eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel that there was a huge power of Fengshui in this painting scroll.
Patriarch Qian received it in his hand and said slowly: "Master Xu, people have ranks, and things also have ranks. I think the knife in your hand is a fourth-rank item, and my Yin-Yang Feng Shui Map is a first-rank item." .”
"Since Master Xu's current difficulties are related to Fengshui, the Yin-Yang Fengshui Map is an excellent treasure."
"Master Xu, dare to ask that Feng Shui book, has it reached its peak?"
Xu Bai nodded, and said: "The Qian family's Feng Shui book is really powerful. To tell you the truth, I have already understood it."
"In this case, Master Xu can use it." Patriarch Qian handed the Yin-Yang diagram to Xu Bai, and said, "Master Xu, you can feel it carefully."
Xu Bai was slightly taken aback. Seeing that the Qian family was trying to trick him, he didn't ask directly. Instead, he played with the Yin-Yang Fengshui map in his hand and felt it patiently.
True energy flows slowly into the Yin-Yang Feng Shui diagram.
The next moment, Xu Bai raised his head with surprise on his face.
nice one!
