Facing north with human smoke?

Isn't that...

Shen Ci looked at the direction of the smoke, which was the direction of Longcheng. Is that what human smoke means?

Shen Yuzhen also understood the first half of the sentence, what about the second half?

"What does backing south with jade streams mean?" Shen Yuzhen asked.

"It means there is a river in the direction of backing south," Shen Ci explained.

Jade streams mean river water.

The so-called relying on mountains and rivers, water has always been an important factor that cannot be bypassed in the Feng Shui Sutra.

Wan Hu nodded: "That's right, it's a river."

"Then... is there one?" Shen Yuzhen turned her head.

But the field of vision was limited, how could she see so far.

"Yes," Master Yu spoke: "I used a compass to find it, there is a river behind this mountain."

"That means it's done?" Shen Yuzhen was startled.

Shen Ci was steady, walked quickly to Master Yu and asked respectfully: "Master, then according to your meaning, is it feasible to build a cemetery on this mountain?"

"Feasible," Master Yu didn't go around in circles, turned back and pointed to a piece of Guanyang wood in the distance of the mountain: "Those Guanyang woods must be uprooted."

The so-called Guanyang wood doesn't refer to a kind of tree, but a class of trees. Poplar, white birch, shrubs, elm, etc., all belong to the Guanyang wood class.

Wan Hu followed and said: "East of Guanyang, evil things clash. If you build a cemetery, you can't see Guanyang wood."

Shen Ci nodded in understanding.

"One more thing," Master Yu looked at Shen Ci.

Shen Ci hurriedly responded: "You say."

"I locked the position with a compass. There are mounds and graves on this mountain, which means there are indigenous people here. If you want to demolish and rebuild, you have to say hello to them."

"What?" Before Shen Ci could speak, Shen Yuzhen exclaimed first: "Someone buried people on this mountain? This mountain belongs to our family, it's private!"

Master Yu smiled: "But this mountain is clearly desolate, and no one is guarding it. Who knows it's private?"

"That's not okay either. Digging graves and burying people on someone else's place without permission, this belongs to illegal, right?" Shen Yuzhen said.

"You can talk about law with people, but can you talk with dead people? Forced demolition, be careful to attract..."

"Master, don't say it, she is timid," Shen Ci hurriedly interrupted Master Yu's words and asked carefully: "What should we do? Is it troublesome?"

"Not troublesome, I'll just do a ritual. Prepare more good things for them then. People and dead people are the same, as long as the benefits arrive, everything is easy to talk about."

Shen Ci nodded, turned her head and saw Wan Hu had already started to pack up.

"Master, is this considered finished?" Shen Ci asked subconsciously.

"Hmm, it's not a troublesome thing, but there are many liars in society now. If you don't have real skills, you will make up some fancy things to bluff people."

Shen Ci realized, and also felt that Master Yu's words made sense.

Going down the mountain, Master Yu was still carried by Wan Hu. Shen Ci and the two followed more easily, after all, going down the mountain would be much easier.

At the foot of the mountain, Master Yu and his apprentice didn't say a word, drove the car and left.

Shen Ci blinked in surprise, and then said: "No, I haven't paid yet."

"Aci, are you really going to build a cemetery?" Shen Yuzhen was still entangled in this matter.

Shen Ci sent a message to Boss Su while responding: "Since the Feng Shui has been looked at and there is no problem, then tell your grandfather that I want this mountain. Whether it's living people or dead people, whose money isn't money?"

And at present, the price of public cemeteries is even more expensive than houses, so this business must be profitable.

"But aren't you afraid of bad luck?" Shen Yuzhen said in a low voice, suddenly feeling a cold chill behind her back.

Shen Ci looked at her sideways: "Bad luck? What bad luck?"

"Just... dead people."

Shen Ci shook her head lightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Every ghost you are afraid of is someone others miss day and night but cannot meet."

A light sentence instantly dissipated the cold feeling behind Shen Yuzhen.

She looked at Shen Ci straightly, suddenly feeling that she was shining all over, and the whole person was full of divinity.

"Aci, you... oh..." Shen Yuzhen was a bit annoyed at her own words and deeds just now, because she was completely baptized by Shen Ci's words.

Shen Ci looked at her reaction and laughed: "Don't feel guilty, being afraid of ghosts is normal, just like being afraid of dogs or heights, and these fears should be respected, because they are weaknesses, everyone has weaknesses."

"Then what is your weakness?" Shen Yuzhen asked subconsciously.

Shen Ci blurted out: "Maybe it's being too beautiful."

Shen Yuzhen rolled her eyes, and Shen Ci laughed and said: "Family."

Shen Yuzhen nodded in understanding. She had seen Shen Ci's family, whether it was her mother, younger brother, or younger sister, they were all very wonderful people.

Shen Ci turned around and looked at Lishan in front of her again, and said sincerely: "I will build this place very beautifully, giving the deceased a beautiful place to rest."

Su Zheyuan's message followed: "I forgot to tell you clearly before, asking Master Yu is such a rule, there is no fixed price, you look at it, don't treat it as a reward, treat it as a gift, filial piety to Master Yu."

The word filial piety was a bit dazzling, but Su Zheyuan's next message instantly dispelled the discomfort in Shen Ci's heart and made her respect Master Yu.

"After all, Master Yu is already one hundred years old."

"How old?" Shen Yuzhen's eyeballs almost flew out.

Shen Ci was also startled.

Although there are many people in the world who live to be one hundred years old, Master Yu's whole state looks quite good.

"No wonder he let people carry him up and down the mountain. I was a bit puzzled when I saw him being carried when he could walk himself," Shen Yuzhen muttered.

Shen Ci pursed her lips and believed in all of Master Yu's words and deeds today even more.

"Then how much should I give?" Shen Ci asked Su Zheyuan.

There was no standard for giving more or less, and she was afraid of offending the master in a situation where she didn't know.

Su Zheyuan replied: "As you wish."

Shen Ci blinked, confused.

"Boss Su said so, does it mean this master doesn't care about money?"

After all, he is so old.

Shen Ci hesitated, used the card number provided by Su Zheyuan, and transferred 100 yuan to Master Yu.

She could naturally give more, but Shen Ci felt that going too far was as bad as not going far enough. Master Yu was virtuous and respected and was one hundred years old. She would inevitably have things to trouble him in the future. If she gave too much gift money for the first time, she was afraid she would frame herself later.

One hundred yuan converted is equivalent to the original one million. For the rich in Longcheng, it might not count as anything, but it was definitely not a small amount.

Just looking at Feng Shui, it should be enough.

"One hundred, Aci, you gave a bit too much..."

Shen Ci looked at her and asked with a smile: "Heartbroken for me?"

Shen Yuzhen curled her lips and nodded: "I think thirty or fifty is about the same."

"Then how about this, when you talk about the price with your grandfather, help me press it down?"

"Do you still need to say that? Of course!"
