Chapter 0078 Prajna Villa
Qiansui Lake is located in the western suburbs of Jiangcheng. If you look down from the sky, you can find that the shape of Qiansui Lake is quite strange. It is long and narrow and looks like a big tree.
Chitose Lake has a vast area, with numerous islands scattered across the lake. Many places have been developed into tourist attractions, and there are a large number of tourists every year.
Meifeng Island, Monkey Island, Longshan Island, Santan Island, etc. are all relatively famous large islands in Qiansui Lake.
The island that the Huang family bought that year was located in a relatively remote area, in an area of water in the southeast corner of Qiansui Lake.
Few people go there because there are many undercurrents and the underwater terrain is very complex, and there are no good sights around.
We got off the car at the lakeside, and then people from the Huang family were waiting on the shore. Leading them was a young girl named Xiaohui. After seeing the invitation, she took the three of us on the boat. The driver stayed at the lakeside and found a hotel for us to stay in.
As the rain got heavier, the waves on the lake were quite strong and there were basically no tourists to be seen.
He Jintang was not used to riding a boat and almost vomited his intestines. Baoer and I didn't react much. When it was getting dark, Xiaohui pointed to a black dot in front and said, "That's our villa."
After walking for about another half an hour, the island finally appeared very clearly in front of us.
The island Huang Zhengyun bought was a deserted island. There were no other islands around it. It floated alone on the lake.
Looking from the boat, under the dim sky, I could see a large group of buildings lying dark on the island. This should be the Prajna Villa.
I looked at it carefully for a while and found it a little strange.
From a Feng Shui perspective, this isolated island is not auspicious and can even be considered an unlucky place. It is not really suitable for building a resort.
Since Mr. Huang Zhengyun is a well-educated wealthy man who also likes to study metaphysics, how could he not understand such simple Feng Shui principles?
Or did Mr. Huang Zhengyun choose this dangerous island intentionally?
Soon the boat docked.
"Mr. Chen, your friend suffers from severe seasickness. Is he from the north?" Xiaohui asked with a smile as we led us off the boat.
"He is a native of Jiangcheng. He doesn't do good things all the time and has drained his body." I took Baoer's hand and jumped ashore.
Xiaohui burst out laughing.
"Damn it, Old Chen, you're talking bad about me behind my back again!" The guy had sharp ears and actually heard it. He was supported by two servants of the Huang family and walked like a ball of mud, staggering.
After walking a little further, a huge complex of buildings appeared before our eyes.
I was really shocked. This group of buildings was built along the terrain in the center of the island. They were simple and elegant, in a very retro traditional oriental architectural style, with blue bricks, black tiles and white walls.
"Oh my god, is this a film and television city or a resort?" The dying He Jintang couldn't help but complain.
Indeed, this large area of buildings really looks like a scene from some movies or TV shows, especially on a rainy night like this, it looks quite eerie.
Facing us is a tall archway with four big characters "Prajna Villa" inscribed on it.
The entire archway is built with some kind of blue-grey stone, carved with various ferocious animal heads and complex patterns. On the two stone pillars of the archway, there are many yellow paper talismans pasted.
After being wetted by the rain, the yellow paper broke into pieces and turned white, but the talisman was written in cinnabar, its color like blood, which was quite shocking to look at.
I looked at them carefully for a while and saw that the talismans were of all kinds and types. I asked Xiaohui why she was pasting talismans for no reason.
Xiaohui shook her head apologetically and said she didn't know either.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier, and we hurried inside with umbrellas. Although we only took a quick glance along the way, the more we looked, the more surprised we were.
All the architectural layout and furnishings here, even down to the cobblestone paving, are in line with the principles of Feng Shui.
If that were all, it would be fine. After all, I heard that Mr. Huang Zhengyun was obsessed with metaphysics in his later years, and he must have sought advice from a great feng shui master when building this Prajna Villa.
But along the way, I saw the Bagua diagram in at least two places, the Jiugong grid in four places, and even in an inconspicuous place, I saw the application of the "Five Elements and Numbers"!
The five elements and their numbers are a rather obscure subject in numerology. Even in our profession of physiognomists, not many people understand it, let alone seeing it appear in a holiday resort. This is really outrageous!
What surprised me was even more than that. On the eaves, columns, walls, carvings, and other places of these houses, there were often some talismans that could ward off evil spirits.
These talismans are mixed in with the patterns and are inconspicuous. If I hadn't paid attention in advance, I would have missed them.
The more I look at it, the weirder it seems. This place is eerie in every way. People who live here would probably be terrified. What kind of holiday resort is this?
Xiaohui said that we were the last batch of guests. The others had arrived yesterday and should be having dinner at this time.
She first took us to where we were staying, which was a very quaint little courtyard. Inside the courtyard, there was a two-story building made of black tiles and black bricks, and some flowers and plants that we had never seen before.
There are some other small courtyards nearby. Xiaohui said that they are where other guests live. Each courtyard is not close to each other, and there are about twenty meters between them.
After putting away the luggage and changing clothes, I originally wanted to leave He Jintang, who was vomiting all the time, in the house to rest. Baoer and I followed Xiaohui to eat first, and then brought him some food back.
Who knew that this boy wanted to avoid losing face in front of Jiang Yuqi, so he insisted on going in front of her.
When we arrived at the dining area, we saw the sound of wine and laughter in the hall. The guests who had arrived earlier were now gathered here.
"Old Chen, look at how I ridicule that kid!" As soon as He Jintang entered the door, he perked up and went straight to a group of people in the east corner.
I followed with Bao'er and saw Jiang Yuqi holding a glass of red wine and chatting with someone. When he turned around and saw He Jintang, he was surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
He Jintang sneered: "Do you think you are the only one who can do this? This kind of place can be visited by me whenever I want!"
Jiang Yuqi's eyes paused on Baoer and me, then turned to other places, and asked in confusion: "Which master did you follow? There is no one else in Jiangcheng, right?"
He Jintang glanced at him and asked, "Who are you following?"
Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly and said complacently: "Of course it's Yang Yuanning, Mr. Yang. He and my grandfather are close friends, so I also call him Grandpa Yang."
He Jintang taunted: "Look at how cocky you are. You're the only one who has a grandfather!"
