Xiaowangzhuang.
This is a small village with 800 households. Although the village is small, it is built on Xiaowang Mountain.
The scenery of Xiaowang Mountain is absolutely stunning, with clouds and mist lingering, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the trees are also very lush and straight.
Originally, there was no one here. It was only because a wandering Taoist priest once passed by here and said that this place had beautiful mountains and clear waters, and excellent feng shui, and that he would surely produce great talents in the future.
One hundred years later, there will be someone wearing a yellow robe, eating chicken, duck, fish and meat every day, and three thousand beauties will show off their dancing skills and compete for favor every day.
As soon as this statement was made, nearby towns were instantly in an uproar. Farmers brought their families, wives and children to settle down here, and some even moved their ancestors here.
Hoping to sleep in a place with good feng shui to protect future generations.
Unknowingly, in just a few decades, a Xiaowang Village appeared at the foot of Xiaowang Mountain, and a wealthy family recently moved into Xiaowang Village.
People called him Mr. Liu.
People called him "Mr. Zhengwai" but no one knew if he was really a Mr. Zhengwai. All I knew was that he was very generous and bought houses from more than a dozen families right after he arrived.
Houses are worthless to the people in Xiaowangzhuang. They just find some thatch, some wood, red bricks and green tiles and build them in four or five days.
This couldn't be simpler for rural areas.
Mr. Liu was very generous and gave too much. In addition, he looked like an official, so everyone in Xiaowangzhuang sold their houses to him voluntarily.
Mr. Liu looked like a very kind person, and he didn't have the airs of an official, but people could still vaguely sense the arrogance in his eyes.
But it's normal, he is an official after all.
They are just peasants. It doesn't matter to them whether they have money or are good officials.
What do they say
It's nothing.
Within two days, all the dozen houses bought by Mr. Liu were sold. He was a rich man, how could he live in these shabby houses
Xiaowang Mountain is located in a remote and poor area. Its beautiful scenery is useless and cannot be used to make a living. If it were not for its good feng shui, it would probably not have attracted Mr. Liu.
The villagers of Xiaowangzhuang were very happy. Now that the fields had been planted and the busy farming season was over, they were just sitting at home with nothing to do.
When Mr. Liu arrived, he hired fifty or sixty men at once and invited a famous bricklayer from the provincial capital, who was said to have built a house for the county magistrate before.
It is magnificent and stretches for miles, it is so majestic!
Mr. Liu's requirements were not high. After all, he was not a county magistrate and had money in his pocket. He built a smaller house and planned to live out his retirement in this Feng Shui treasure land.
First of all, Xiaowang Mountain has beautiful scenery, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and fresh air, making it suitable for retirement.
Secondly, he heard that there was unrest outside and there might be another war. Many people died in the provincial capital in the past few years, and he didn't know how many officials higher than him had their heads cut off.
You have to run away. If you stay in the provincial capital, you will be too conspicuous and easily be treated as a fat sheep.
The third one heard that Xiaowang Mountain is a place of good feng shui. If someone in the future generations appears to be crowned as the emperor, their ancestors in the underworld will also benefit from it.
There is strength in numbers, there are experienced bricklayers, the rural people are hardworking, and Mr. Liu is generous.
In less than half a month, Mr. Liu's mansion was built. It was very grand and opened the eyes of the villagers.
Mr. Liu also nodded with satisfaction. It cost him nearly a thousand dollars to build this mansion. All the materials used were of the highest quality, and almost all the gifts he had received over the years were spent on it.
If he didn't have three grain shops, an inn, and four oil mills, the inheritance passed down from his ancestors, his whole family would have starved.
The family moved in happily, but fled out in a mess the next day. This house was so dirty!
When I was sleeping, there was someone under the bed!
Although no one was killed, people were still panicked. Not only the Liu family was panicked, but the entire Xiaowangzhuang population was also panicked.
Because it was July or August, the sun was scorching outside, but the Liu family residence was like an ice cave, full of gloom and cold air.
Some brave kids disliked the heat and gathered there to play. As a result, they became seriously ill for three days and almost died.
The entire Xiaowangzhuang was in an uproar. They surrounded Mr. Liu with shovels and sickles, and accused him of destroying the feng shui of Xiaowangzhuang and attracting evil spirits.
Mr. Liu had no other choice but to ask someone to invite Uncle Jiu to pay a large sum of money to drive away the evil spirit and prevent any future troubles!
"Master, I have invited the Taoist priest here!"
A servant came running over hurriedly, and Mr. Liu, who was surrounded by the crowd, was overjoyed. Only then did the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang stop surrounding him.
As soon as Mr. Liu walked out of the crowd, he saw a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a red umbrella on his back.
Is this Uncle Nine
He shook his head violently. He heard that Uncle Jiu was an old man. How could he be so young
Mr. Liu looked at the servant suspiciously, you didn't invite the wrong person for me, did you
"Master, this is what I met on the road..."
"Mr. Liu!"
The servant was still explaining when he was interrupted by the young Taoist priest. The young Taoist priest put his hands behind his back and asked, "You don't believe in my identity?"
Mr. Liu is an experienced man who has been working in official circles for so many years. How could he possibly question someone in person
"I dare not, I dare not."
He bowed and said, "I didn't expect that the Taoist priest is so young and promising. I wonder where he is from?"
A man with no beard on his face cannot do things well!
Mr. Liu still didn't dare to believe it too much, so he decided to ask Uncle Jiu for help.
Seeing Mr. Liu's expression, the young man looked a little flustered and directly lifted up his Taoist robe, which was full of talismans.
"Don't panic, Mr. Liu. I am Mao Shanming, the 98th generation disciple of Maoshan. A mere little ghost is nothing to me!"
"this?"
Mr. Liu looked at the scribbles and hesitated. To be honest, he couldn't understand any of them.
"To be honest, my master is Uncle Jiu. Have you heard of him?"
"Uncle Nine?"
Mr. Liu's eyes lit up, but he hesitated again. After all, the experienced are the most experienced, so he still wanted to ask Uncle Jiu.
After all, he had heard about Uncle Jiu's two incompetent apprentices.
Mr. Liu was suddenly stunned. Uncle Jiu had three apprentices, one was named Wencai, one was named Qiu Sheng, and one was still breastfeeding.
What the hell is this Mao Shan Ming
Mao Shanming leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Actually, I am Uncle Jiu's true disciple. What I learn is the real thing, because Uncle Jiu is my biological father!"
"I!"
He pointed at himself and said, "I'm an illegitimate child, so my name is Maoshan Ming. Uncle Jiu didn't dare to make it public, for fear of breaking the Maoshan rules."
This sentence aroused Mr. Liu's curiosity. He didn't expect that the famous Taoist priest was...
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiu, the honest man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is not a good guy either!
"Let's do this."
Mao Shanming patted his chest and said, "If I can't get rid of this ghost, I won't take a penny."
"good!"
Mao Shanming touched the red umbrella behind him and smiled triumphantly.
This business is stable!
