Chapter 16 Going up the mountain

After listening to Du Xiaosheng's words, Zhou Linli turned his head to me to see what my attitude was.

I nodded and agreed with Du Xiaosheng's words.

Although this is the place mentioned by Zhou Linli's father, it is not considered Longkou. It is okay to say it is an intersection, because it is connected in all directions and there is almost no shelter. The breeze blows and it is cool. Camping here Shouldn't you freeze to death?

When it comes to looking at the environment, it’s actually about inferring Feng Shui based on the direction of the mountains.

Although I don’t know much about Feng Shui, there is a big fat man who knows nothing, Du Xiaosheng, who works as a secretary, and Fang Yuze, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. They know nothing about Feng Shui, and only I can say something. , so the three people’s eyes shot towards me.

I feel ashamed, I should have invited a Feng Shui master to come over. This was really an oversight on my part. I thought the information on Zhou Linli's father was very clear, but after actually practicing it, I realized that even if I walked to the place where the information was written, I might not be able to react.

"Going around the neck of the mountain, I saw a locust tree. The soil under the locust tree was slightly dry at first, but then became sticky. It can be buried here."

Zhou Linli's father must be a scholar. The land here is covered with weeds and plains, or the side walls extending from the top of the mountain. Where did the locust trees come from?

I couldn't do nothing, so I had no choice but to pretend to look around, hoping to find something.

The isolated mountain here is independent. Except for the weeds on the ground and no one taking care of it, it is no different from the mountains in tourist attractions. It is also much shorter than those mountains. From an aesthetic point of view, it does not have a gorgeous feeling, but is very desolate. No wonder there is no one there all the time. The idea of hitting this mountain.

We are on a naturally formed mountain road that goes up like flat ground, almost like a hillside, with no inclination.

On the left is the concave and convex side wall, with flowers and plants that have taken root here. Not far away on the right is a cliff, leading directly to the foot of the mountain. It is a shortcut that is faster than jumping off the building.

You can have a panoramic view from the top down. Due to the rugged mountain road, it almost goes around the mountain. Therefore, the woods we just walked through are now right at our feet and have become the size of a small house. It is difficult to imagine that we were inside. Been gone for so long.

The shape of the woods is very strange. From a distance, they look slender and dense. The fog is thick in the mountains late at night, and I always feel that the woods are a bit weird. If there are a few more crows, it will be the perfect setting for a horror movie. If you look closely at this mountain, you will see that it is heavy on the feet and light on the head. The top of the mountain is not that big, but the foot of the mountain extends continuously, making it difficult to cut off, giving people a long and complicated feeling.

It is precisely because the slope of this hillside is so low that we have walked for so long before reaching the neck of the mountain. If it were a vertical mountain, it would only take us half a day with the help of climbing tools. So is there any need to walk these unnecessary roads? Not to mention walking, I also acted crazy for no reason. Maybe it was because I had been working overtime recently and was under too much pressure. It seemed that I had to take a good vacation after finishing this business.

Thinking of this, I nodded slowly involuntarily, agreeing with my idea. Seeing me nodding, Zhou Linli thought I saw something, and asked happily: "Boss Chen, do you know where my father's tomb will be built?"

For a fat man, it is remarkable that he walked for such a long time without complaining. I can understand Zhou Linli's desire to find a place early, finish his work and go home early.

But understanding is understanding. I really haven't figured out anything. I can't tell them, "I can't see anything. We have to go back and bring over the people who know Feng Shui in the company first." Lin Li was so angry that week.

My thoughts drifted far away, and I didn't bother to answer Zhou Linli's question. I just listened to Du Xiaosheng faintly spit out four words. These four words made me have the urge to strangle him to death: "He In a daze."

I couldn't strangle him because I only had one hand to use. The way Fang Yuze and Zhou Linli looked at me immediately changed, and there seemed to be a hint of contempt mixed in there.

In order to cover up my embarrassment of being in a daze during working hours, I pretended to point to the woods at my feet and said: "There are no rivers here, but there are many trees." The "Earth Burial Sutra" in the company said: Mountains and water cannot be combined. There may be a shortage of water. If there is no water, there will be no way to send the dragon. Therefore, if it is a dragon's cave, there must be water. Moreover, the people in the mountain management department have little water management, and the Zhou family is rich in wealth. I am afraid they will not want to lose money because of this. So according to my Judging from my experience, it’s a bit unusual for your father to choose this place for his tomb.”

"The Burial Sutra" is one of the treasures collected by our company. It was written by a Feng Shui master in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties. It is the earliest Feng Shui book and has not been published to the world. It is extremely precious. Even I have only read the printed version. Book. The former boss said that this book was given to him by a close friend and was printed in hundreds of copies. Everyone in the company, from technicians to cleaners, had to read it.

I have been tortured by being forced to read, but it was okay for me to read literary novels. "The Earth Burial Sutra" is all in classical Chinese, and I can't understand it. It can be said that I know every word here, and when they are connected together, it is I can't understand any of them.

Where there is suffering, there is gain. Now because of my work needs, I just finished reading it in one breath. I can recite a few sentences at this time. It seems that the half-year study was not in vain.

After I said that, I glared at Du Xiaosheng fiercely, implying that my salary would be deducted when I go back. Du Xiaosheng gave me a shallow smile in return. I couldn't figure out what this smile meant, and I felt very bored.

Seeing that what I said was clear and logical, Fang Yuze and Zhou Linli were stunned when they heard it. I myself felt that what I said made sense. Zhou Linli said anxiously: "But my dad's information says this is the place."

I waved my hand to signal him not to interrupt, and then said: "Although there is no river, you can see that the mountain forest is shaped like a clear river. Maybe there was water flowing there before, but then the flow stopped for some reason and trees gradually grew. ”

In fact, I had this idea when I was in the woods. According to the weather forecast, it has not rained here for a long time. Even if it is moisture, it will not be so wet that the ground is covered with mud. When we walked through the mountains and forests, we were full of The shoes were covered in dried mud, as if there had been a heavy rain not long ago.

Moreover, the mountain forest is winding, narrow and long, which exactly matches the shape of the stream, except that it is much wider. The extra part should be the trees along the river.

Du Xiaosheng saw me stop and said to me: "Keep talking."

I was a little dissatisfied with his indiscriminate tone. Now that there were outsiders here, and it was hard to lose my temper with the employees, I had to secretly decide not to take him to eat the delicacies from Hongfenglou when I went back.

I looked at the forest and mountains again, and said: "If there was really a river there, and the water circled the mountain, like a water dragon circling, and wealth surrounded the descendants, there would be great blessings. And the tombs are mostly surrounded by straight water. Lord, if the tomb is surrounded by water, once the water floods into the tomb, it will be a big disaster. Now there is no water in the place where the water should be surrounded, and it is replaced by a tree that grows with water. The tree contains both water and wood, so it will not be too In the extreme, it will cause harm to the tomb, but it will be beneficial to the owner of the tomb.”

I also read these from the "Earth Burial Sutra", and I adapted them slightly to make it easier for the three white-headed greens in front of me to understand. In the end, I still overestimated Zhou Linli's IQ, and he asked hurriedly: "Then where will my dad live? Don't keep talking, tell me quickly."

I was very dissatisfied with Zhou Linli's hurry, but since he was a client, I really couldn't say anything, so I had to explain: "It's shaped like water, shaped like a dragon. If I guess correctly, the Feng Shui place your father is looking for is at the place where the dragon's eye is." The right place is right there." I pointed to the top of my head, the part on the side of the mountain close to the top of the mountain.

The three of them raised their heads at the same time, and Zhou Linli said again: "Then why are you still here? Let's go quickly. The girl from my sister-in-law's house is about to have a full moon, and I have to rush to drink."

I couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Isn't your sister-in-law's girl just three days old?"

After I exposed the lie, Zhou Linli touched his head in embarrassment and said aggrievedly: "I thought you didn't listen to me that day. Every time I chat with others, they pretend to listen. I also know that I talk a lot. But it can’t be changed anymore. Boss Chen, you are the first person to listen to my chat seriously.”

I felt a little sad in my heart. Although people's personality has a lot to do with the environment, the root of personality lies more in genes. Perhaps there are certain genes in Zhou Linli's body that determine that he likes to chat, but he has no habit of self-discipline and does not have high requirements for his words and deeds, which is why he has no choice but to like to talk. This does not mean that Zhou Linli needs to be discriminated against or ignored. He also needs to be respected in his interactions with others.

Of course you can't say this. In fact, Zhou Linli's ideas have nothing to do with me. As long as I do his business well, we will have no contact at all.

It was already night, so naturally you couldn't see the top of the mountain in the darkness. In order to understand the terrain, you had to walk up a little further.

I told the others about the situation. Du Xiaosheng nodded and took the lead in walking up the mountain road with a flashlight. I quickly followed. Zhou Linli, on the other hand, was a little unhappy when he heard that he had to walk again, but he didn't object.

Except for Zhou Linli complaining from time to time, no one spoke along the way, and only the sound of the wind could be heard. The cold wind forced its way into my neck, making me shiver from the cold and I had to cross my chest and hug my arms tightly.

The others were not much better, especially Fang Yuze, who was thin and frail and had no fat. In addition, he was only wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, and he was shivering from the cold.

After walking for a while, the road gradually became wider, and there was a lot of slippery moss on the ground, making it easy to fall. In order not to fall under the cliff, we could only walk close to the side wall and hold on to the mountain wall with our hands to stabilize our bodies.

The latter section of the road was not long and we soon reached the end. To my surprise, the end was not leading to the top of the mountain, but a broken road.

Du Xiaosheng in front stopped and adjusted his flashlight to shine in front.

There is a broken belt not far away, about ten meters long. On the opposite side is the road that goes up the mountain. Even long jumpers can't cross this distance, let alone ordinary people like us.

Du Xiaosheng looked at me and motioned for me to come up with an idea.

I looked up to see where my destination was. At this time, we walked a quarter of a circle around the mountain, and the place above our heads turned to the southeast, which was invisible from here. The top of the mountain was only about ten meters away from us, so I suggested rock climbing up.
