The old man was very talkative. He first talked about how he had trained the first college student in the village, and then when he talked about the glory of his ancestors, he became more energetic, his face was glowing and proud, and it was impossible to tell that he was already in his eighties. He is an old man next year.
Tang Yan was not interested in the first half, but he still respected the old man and listened patiently. In fact, if Shi Xiaodong hadn't been so annoying from the beginning, Tang Yan would definitely not have used this method to rob those three things, and would have found money to buy them for him even if he lost all his money.
¡°As for the second half, Tang Yan listened very carefully.
The old man's narration was obviously much more detailed than Shi Xiaodong's. He also mentioned that his ancestor who was a Taoist was buried in this village. However, it was so old that the tombstone had long been missing, and no one knew about the Taoist now. Where exactly is the tomb?
After hearing this, Tang Yan seemed to understand that the three things represented three skills, and the entrainment of gambling skills was to crack Shi Xiaodong's thousand skills. Physical enhancement can come in handy at any time. This time the system gave Tang Yan Of the eight skills, only the three skills of Kanyu, Jiabao and Swordsmanship are left unused.
"Bao cutting and swordsmanship don't seem to have anything to do with this mission. They will probably be reflected in the next mission. Kanyu is undoubtedly the best way to find the Daotai tomb. A Daotai in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, especially during the Qianlong period, had the power to directly access the Holy Ginseng Book. Although it was only an official position of the fourth rank, it should not be underestimated compared to many important officials in the court. It would be okay for such a character to return to his hometown for burial, but it must also be a place with excellent feng shui. In fact, the reason why Shi Xiaodong and his father were able to become civil servants, and why Shi Xiaodong was selected by Wei Kaihua to be his secretary as if he had won a grand prize, is probably all related to the Feng Shui of Daotai Tomb.
As for why the feng shui of his ancestors did not take effect until now, Tang Yan has no way of knowing. I am afraid that he will have to wait until he finds the Daotai tomb to know the reason.
He stayed in the countryside that night. Early the next morning, Tang Yan still went out for morning exercises. By the way, he took the compass given to him by the criminal in the system after he learned the Kanyu skills.
After almost searching the entire village, Tang Yan failed to find a Feng Shui cave suitable for a funeral. After returning, Tang Yan chatted with the old man for a while while having breakfast. I didn't directly ask about the situation of Tai Tomb. Even if I asked, I guess the old man wouldn't know. Tang Yan went round and round and asked if the entire village had been reduced in size, etc. The old man also recalled it for a long time, and finally remembered that there was a sand quarry not far away. It is now nationalized, but in the 1970s, it was still their village. land in.
A tributary of the Pearl River passes through the village. The large amount of accumulated sand in the river made the villagers discover business opportunities. At first, the young people in the village voluntarily mined sand. Later, the villagers discovered that this was a natural money printing machine, so they applied to their superiors to establish a Sand quarry.
During the construction boom in the 1980s and 1990s, the sand quarry produced considerable benefits. However, in the past ten years, the sand quarry has been deteriorating and has almost ceased production.
Tang Yan asked Shi Xiaodong to take him to take a look. Tang Yan immediately discovered that the location of the sand quarry was a legendary dragon's lair. He immediately understood in his heart that the Daotai Tomb was undoubtedly located here. Underground in the sand quarry.
After wandering around the sand quarry for a long time, Tang Yan carefully measured it with a compass and determined the location of a piece of wasteland outside the courtyard wall of the sand quarry, which was directly above the Daotai Tomb.
Due to the poor management of the sand quarry, the place has become very desolate. The ground is overgrown with weeds and there are many shrubs. It is difficult to even get down, and you have to risk your pants being cut by thorns.
After briefly asking the workers in the factory, Tang Yan finally understood why the Daotai Tomb, which was buried on a dragon's cave, failed to bring blessings to his descendants. On the contrary, it was only in Shi Xiaodong's father's generation that it became slightly more important. Showed some magic.
Since it is not far from the river bank, although the Daotai Tomb was buried on a geomantic treasure land, it was soon covered by the sediment in the river. For this reason, Tang Yan also specially checked the ditch and confirmed that after Qianlong, during the reign of his grandson Emperor Daoguang, there had been a flood here, a rare occurrence in a hundred years. Almost all the nearby fertile fields were submerged, and all the nearby villagers They all moved out and did not return to this place until more than ten years later to continue living.
This place is too close to the river. It is estimated that the tombstone was destroyed by the flood, and the sediment in the river covered the land, completely obscuring the dragon's cave.
Even if it is a dragon's cave, it still needs to have vitality circulation, green vegetation on the surface, and pores on the land, etc. This can ensure that the feng shui of the dragon's cave affects future generations and provides blessings to future generations.
After being accumulated by sediment,?This place has become a dead place. Even if there is a dragon's lair below, its magical effect will not be able to be used.
In the 1970s and 1980s, preparations for the construction of a sand quarry began here. When the courtyard wall was being built, this dragon's cave happened to be empty outside the courtyard wall. The sediment on the surface of the land was used locally as materials for building courtyard walls and sand quarries. As a result, the land above the dragon's cave saw the light of day again, and the dragon's cave regained its vitality and function again.
However, because the sand quarry was very efficient at that time, sand and stones could be piled up anywhere outside the courtyard wall, and vegetation could not grow. This affected the function of the dragon's cave, and Shi Xiaodong's father could only be a low-level civil servant for the rest of his life, with no hope of promotion.
In the past ten years, the efficiency of the sand quarry has been deteriorating. Naturally, people no longer come and go frequently outside the door, and green has gradually begun to grow on the ground, which has led to Shi Xiaodong's slow promotion. Until now, the vegetation on this land has become more and more lush, and Shi Xiaodong has finally reached the peak of his official career. When almost no one expected, he became Wei Kaihua's secretary.
It seems that the three things required by the system are all located in this ancient tomb.
After all, Shi Xiaodong was not wrong, and Tang Yan's punishment for him was enough. So Tang Yan made a decision. After getting those three things, he must not let this ancient tomb be exposed. Even if the 80 million yuan was hanging on the The Sword of Damocles on his head made him remember to stay honest throughout his life as an official and not take bribes and bend the law.
On the gambling boat, Tang Yan won about 40 million. In addition to the 30 million returned to Gengxin, he also lost nearly 10 million.
Using a very small part of this money, Tang Yan negotiated an agreement to acquire a sand quarry with the local township government, which directly caused the township officials to treat Tang Yan as a lunatic. Such a sand quarry that could not produce any benefits at all, actually There were others who were willing to acquire it, and of course they would not object, but they did not dare to ask Tang Yan for more money, so they took four million, including the right to use the land for seventy years.
In fact, the land use rights alone are enough for the four million, and the sand quarry is equivalent to a gift.
After getting various documents and contracts, Tang Yan started the hard excavation work alone. There was no way, he couldn't do this to others, otherwise he would go crazy if someone discovered that there was a Daotai tomb down there?
The two skills of digging graves that I learned before were used this time, and they were quickly upgraded. Of course, the upgrade at this time is meaningless to Tang Yan, except to make him faster and safer when digging graves.
Just when Tang Yan had almost opened the passage to the tomb, the system gave him a prompt, telling him that the master named Lai Changyi had arrived in Yangcheng.
I called Wei Kaihua. Wei Kaihua expressed surprise that the person Tang Yan asked him to introduce was Master Lai, but he still generously agreed to Tang Yan's request. Meeting a Feng Shui physiognomy master would be cheaper than asking him to introduce him anyway. It is much more convenient for people like the secretary of the provincial party committee, although even if Tang Yan asks to have a meal, drink tea and chat with the secretary of the provincial party committee, it is not too difficult for Wei Kaihua.
After Lai Changyi arrived in Yangcheng, he did not stay in the hotel arranged by Wei Kaihua for him. Instead, after getting off the plane, he declined Wei Kaihua's invitation and went to live at the Baiyun Fairy Hall at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. Wei Kaihua was speechless about this.
Wei Kaihua was a little bit surprised why Tang Yan called Tang Yan just after Lai Changyi got off the plane and settled down at Baiyun Immortal Pavilion. The timing was too coincidental. He hadn't even spoken to Lai Changyi a few words himself, but he had already introduced Lai Changyi to Tang Yan.
It was getting late at that time. Wei Kaihua had a meal with Lai Changyi, but he didn't get any effective advice and left on his own. He promised Tang Yan to take him to see Lai Changyi the next day. Wei Kaihua also specifically asked Tang Yan why he wanted to meet a master of Feng Shui. Of course Tang Yan would not answer him, so he gave up.
Early the next day, Tang Yan took Shi Xiaodong's car and entered the courtyard of the Guangdong Provincial Government. After meeting Wei Kaihua, Wei Kaihua changed his original research plan and changed the location of his investigation to the vicinity of Baiyun Immortal Pavilion. I took Tang Yan to Baiyun Immortal Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the mountain gate, a Xiaodao came up to him and said, "When magpies came to the door in the morning, Master Lai knew that a distinguished guest was coming, so he specially asked Xiaodao to welcome him here."
Wei Kaihua took it for granted that the distinguished guest mentioned by the little Taoist priest was himself. He chuckled and started to ask the little Taoist priest to lead the way to see Lai Changyi. But the little Taoist priest stretched out his hand to stop him and said in a low voice: "Master Lai said that the distinguished guest is a young man. I think it is this gentleman. Governor Wei, please stay until Master Lai and this gentleman have met.Nature will welcome you. "
"What? Distinguished guest? Master Lai knew he was coming?" Wei Kaihua was stunned. He didn't really believe this at first. He just followed the family's arrangements. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel that this method was mysterious.
