Wei Lao San, in order to showcase the skills of Old Mo and me.
Truly found trouble for the two of us.
Although his intention was not specifically targeting us.
But how could he know that in terms of feng shui, Old Mo and I are completely novice rookies just starting out.
Asking us to explain the feng shui here now was truly presenting us with a difficult challenge.
Old Mo was flustered, he glanced around.
There was nothing but mountains and water, and he couldn't discern any particular aura.
Asking him to say one, two, or three things was harder than climbing to heaven…
He looked at me, his eyes filled with hesitation.
He even lowered his voice and said to me:
"Brother Qin, you, you say it!"
Clearly, he was placing all his hope on me.
For a moment, all the villagers and Wei family relatives looked at me.
The Wei brothers were also looking at me.
I knew very well that if I said something wrong, it would definitely be embarrassing.
If I didn't say anything, it would also be very ungraceful.
But at this moment, I couldn't refuse.
I could only try my best, hoping for the best.
Reciting what was in the book.
I cleared my throat and pretended to be calm:
"Ahem!
As the saying goes, mountains govern people and water governs wealth.
Old Master's land is truly a treasure trove of feng shui.
With high mountains at its back, lush and green.
This is a great backing.
The waterfall in front, accumulating water into a pond.
This is a treasure basin!
Having mountains and water is not what's most impressive, but rather this stream…"
As I spoke, I pointed to the semi-circular stream in front of me, which flowed around the graveyard, and said:
"This stream meanders, flowing around the treasure land.
It's like a jade belt, wrapped around the treasure land.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be a feng shui location of a Jade Belt Embracing the Waist."
I said with a smile, but my palms were already sweating.
Although it looked like a "Jade Belt Embracing the Waist" to me, I wasn't sure myself.
The Wei brothers in front of me nodded in surprise:
"Daoist Master Qin has great skill!"
"Yes! The feng shui master before also said that this feng shui location is called Jade Belt Entwining the Waist!"
"Right, right, that feng shui master also said it's an excellent spot."
"…"
The Wei brothers spoke in surprise.
Seeing this, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell.
Old Mo beside me also breathed a sigh of relief.
Secretly, he gave me a thumbs-up:
"Not bad, Brother Qin!"
I smiled awkwardly. This was purely a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
I had coincidentally seen similar patterns and annotations in a book a few days ago.
It was purely luck…
At this moment, some villagers were confused and asked loudly:
"Daoist Master Qin, what does Jade Belt Embracing the Waist mean?"
Hearing someone ask, the eldest brother Wei also said to me:
"Daoist Master Qin, please explain it to everyone! Let them also witness your skill."
After confirming that this was "Jade Belt Embracing the Waist," I was no longer nervous.
After all, I still remembered quite a bit from the book's description.
I nodded, then said to everyone:
"This Jade Belt Embracing the Waist, in feng shui, is also known as a waist belt water or a bowing water.
It is like the waist belt worn by ancient officials.
And these waist belts can be categorized into many types.
For example, mountain ranges, roads, and forests can all be seen as similar waist belts.
Each feng shui posture corresponds to a specific pattern.
And the waist belt before us is a stream.
This water governs wealth, so ancestors buried in this land.
Their descendants will often have prosperous fortunes, finding it easier to earn money, and accumulating wealth through hard work!"
I recounted what I remembered, one by one.
Instead of analyzing and judging it myself.
Essentially, I was reciting from a book.
But in the eyes of outsiders, my status instantly became lofty.
They were deeply convinced of my abilities.
The surrounding villagers nodded one after another, praising:
"Oh my, this place really seems to be as described!"
"Yes! This Qin family kid, at such a young age, possesses such skill, it's truly remarkable!"
"I didn't expect the Wei family to find such a feng shui treasure!"
"In the future, for any important events, it seems that inviting this Qin family kid is definitely the right choice."
"…"
The villagers chattered, clearly quite approving of my performance and words.
Through my current performance, the Wei family.
Made the villagers and their relatives know how wise a choice it was to invite us to handle their father's funeral affairs.
It wasn't like what relatives had previously discussed, that they had casually invited two clueless youths to fool around just to save money…
Seeing everyone's continuous praise, my tense mood relaxed.
At least, I didn't disgrace my master.
However.
This was all I knew.
If I said any more, I wouldn't be able to continue.
So, I said to the Wei family:
"The auspicious hour has arrived, quickly bury Old Master!"
The Wei family members nodded repeatedly upon hearing me.
The eldest brother Wei signaled the helpers to start digging at a burial spot previously chosen by Old Master Wei.
The burial spot was arranged by a wandering Daoist priest.
And it was covered with a bluestone.
Now, the bluestone was moved aside to serve as the tombstone.
Digging down three feet and three inches, and three feet in length.
It was only about a meter deep.
This was perfectly sufficient for burying the ashes.
The helpers worked quickly. Old Mo and I burned some paper and recited an opening spell.
Finally, when the coffin was being lowered, after asking everyone to step aside.
The coffin was placed, and Old Master Wei's ashes were interred.
The earth was filled, the bluestone erected, and inscribed with red cinnabar for Old Master Wei's tomb, his birthdate, and his death date.
This matter was thus completely concluded…
