Chapter 019 Feng Shui
I shouted Wang Yue's name loudly.
After a long while, her voice floated out : "Lin Cong, I'm afraid I can't pass this level."
My heart was pounding. "Wang Yue, you have to have some confidence, and you have to have confidence in us. What is the puzzle of this level?"
Wang Yue whispered, "Forgiveness from the person you have hurt the most."
I was stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief: "This is easy. The person you hurt the most is me. Okay, I forgive you."
Wang Yue laughed: "You are so annoying." She could feel that her mood had improved a lot. She said softly: "Lin Cong, I did hurt you, but you are not the one I hurt the most in my life. Please forgive me."
"You also hurt others?" I said, "I thought you were a very kind girl."
Wang Yue froze for a moment, and then she spoke with a faint cry: "As long as you live in this world, you will inevitably hurt others. I once deeply hurt someone."
I was confused and blurted out, "Who? Your ex-boyfriend?"
"Can you be serious?" Wang Yue said coquettishly.
This coquettish tone made me regain the feeling of being in love. This is how she acts coquettishly.
I swallowed. "Who is that? Tell me and we'll find a way. Even if I have to kneel down and beg for mercy, I'll make him forgive you."
"You are so nice." Wang Yue said softly, "That person is my junior high school classmate."
I originally wanted to ask if it was your first love, but now the moment is too tense. It would be a bit annoying if I continued to talk nonsense, so it’s better to just listen in silence.
"She is a beautiful girl. Although she is not good at studying, she is a kind person. Once she talked back to her teacher..." As Wang Yue was speaking, suddenly there was a lot of sound of flowing water coming from behind the wall.
Wang Yue's voice was floating: "Lin Cong, this level is very difficult. I believe you have a way to make the person who hurt me repent. But this level is for me to get the forgiveness of the person I hurt. You must remember, and tell Uncle Zhong not to use some special means to get forgiveness, because that will make my karma heavier and heavier."
I hesitated and said, "If you say that, it's really too difficult, and you have to be sincere. You have to come and apologize in person."
"I can't get out now, can't I?" She seemed to have cried: "Lin Cong, please help me to confess, okay? I don't ask if I can get out of this level, but I must take my confession with me."
"Who is she and how can we find her?" I said.
"Her name is Chen Lun. She used to be a student at the town's No. 2 junior high school. She was in the same class as me. I'm not sure where she is now." Wang Yue said softly.
I almost jumped up: "You have been in junior high school for ten years, where can you find it?"
"Only one day." Wang Yue said softly, "You must hurry back by this time tomorrow night. Don't delay if possible, otherwise I will be reduced to ashes and there will be no place for my body to be buried!"
I was sweating profusely. This was like looking for a needle in a haystack. If Wang Yue couldn't get out, I would be in trouble too.
Wang Yue's voice gradually lowered: "Go quickly, I believe you can find it."
I stepped out of the mirror and went outside to tell Li Daming and Uncle Zhong about the situation. Li Daming shook his head: "Where can I find the clues from more than ten years ago?"
Uncle Zhong said, "Since it is a test in the bardo realm, it must have its destiny and opportunities. We may find something if we go there."
I suddenly slapped my thigh and said, "Oh no, I have to go to work today. I don't have time to do these things."
Li Daming smiled: "I asked for leave for you last night, don't worry."
I was furious: "Who gave you the power? How can you act on your own?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. Let's just get through these seven days first. We can't do the work anytime." Li Daming said, "I have a team with me. There's so much work to do every day, and we have several big clients. I've pushed it all off now. What are you afraid of?"
That sentence made me deflate, and I looked at him: "Do you think it's worth it?"
Li Daming smiled and said: "Of course, my principle in life is to be happy. I am happy when I do what I like."
I shook my head helplessly.
Uncle Zhong told us to have a good rest and talk about it in the morning. We are exhausted and need to rest even if there is a big thing to deal with.
I slept in the living room of Wang Yue's house until morning. My head was still dizzy. We left the house and Li Daming drove straight to Longshan Town No. 2 Middle School.
This middle school is quite remote. After arriving in the town, I used the navigation and searched for a long time before finally finding the school near the foot of a mountain.
Li Daming was about to drive to the school when Uncle Zhong suddenly said, "Don't rush over there. Go around the school and find a high place."
We didn't understand what he meant, but since he said it, we had to do it. Li Daming and I discussed the route based on the ground height. It took more than half an hour to climb to a hillside where we could look down at the school.
Uncle Zhong stood on a high place, took out a compass from his bag, and kept pointing the school's direction with his thumb while looking at it. I stood next to him and looked down. The whole school looked like a "7" shape, with a plastic playground in the middle. No one could be seen at this time.
"Did you see anything?" Uncle Zhong asked.
Li Daming squinted his eyes and shook his head: "I don't understand, is there something wrong with the Feng Shui?"
Uncle Zhong looked at me, and I observed carefully and found a strange phenomenon. It was morning and the sun was shining brightly. Under the sunlight, a smoke seemed to be rising on the school's plastic playground, looming, vaguely and trembling, and the smoke seemed to be green.
I told him about this phenomenon. Uncle Zhong looked at me meaningfully, nodded and said, "You two are both right. The Feng Shui of this school is indeed problematic, especially the inside of the '7' shape, which is full of filth and evil, and has a strong negative energy. The playground has an even bigger problem. This plastic track must have been repaired recently. The gas you saw, Lin Cong, is the harmful substances evaporated from the plastic track." He sighed, "The students of this school are miserable."
Uncle Zhong looked for a while and asked us to get in the car and go straight to school.
To enter this school, we have to climb a concrete slope. Cars are not allowed on the slope, so we can only walk. Li Daming and I were panting for breath on this road, while Uncle Zhong strode quickly and briskly, showing that he is a man of great ability. When we arrived at the school gate, the gate was closed, and there were two stone lions on the left and right of the gate. The playground inside was still empty. If I hadn't seen a shadow swaying in the duty room, I would have thought the school had been abandoned.
Li Daming went up and knocked on the window. The window opened and an old man stuck his head out. "Who are you looking for?"
Li Daming was stunned for a moment, and turned back to look at me and Uncle Zhong, "Yes, who are you looking for?"
"What are you doing?" The old man glared at us and said, "I'm telling you, this is a key area of the school. There are alarms connected to the police station. Don't come here to cause trouble and make yourself uncomfortable."
Uncle Zhong came over, took out a business card and handed it in: "Old sir, I am the owner of the Feng Shui Hall of the Yijing Society in the city. I came here at the invitation of your principal to look at the school's Feng Shui."
"Oh." The old man sat up straight and became respectful. "So that's how it is. Sorry. I need to call and ask first. I haven't heard that the principal is looking for a Feng Shui master."
Li Daming sneered, "Does the leader have to discuss any decision with you?"
The old man was not angry, he was very respectful to Uncle Zhong and quickly picked up the phone to call in. During this time, I asked Uncle Zhong, is it okay for us to say that we are Feng Shui masters?
Uncle Zhong smiled, "It's okay. Didn't you see that there are stone lions at the school gate? The principal here must be very superstitious, but someone must have given him a bad idea. Stone lions can indeed increase Yang energy and suppress Yin energy, but they must also be combined with specific Feng Shui positions. Stone lions belong to the Qian hexagram, the five elements are gold, and are located in the northwest, while the school gate here is in the southeast, which is a complete twist. In addition, the locations of some buildings in the school are all hidden Yin, and sunlight is difficult to enter, and Yin energy is difficult to disperse. I conclude that this school is very rich, but many people have died there."
When he said the last sentence, the old man happened to hang up the phone and heard it. His eyes widened immediately, and he stood up to open the door and said humbly: "Master, I didn't recognize the great man. Please come in and cool down. You are so right, it's amazing. Many people have died in our school ."
We looked at each other and followed Uncle Zhong into the duty room. This old man was a big mouth. Once he started a topic, he would talk nonstop: "Master, our school is too evil. Almost every year, someone has an accident. I have only been here for a few years. In the past, the school was connected to the intersection without this ramp. Why was it built later? Because there were traffic accidents every year. Students were hit by cars inexplicably at the school gate after school. One year during the spring outing, the school rented a lot of buses. A class of more than 40 students took a bus with their teacher. I don’t know what evil the driver had. He drove the car straight into the reservoir. Except for the teacher and four students, everyone else was killed. We locals all know about this incident. In fact, this is not the most evil thing. The most evil thing is..."
As he was talking, the phone suddenly rang. The old man gestured for us to wait. He answered the phone, and after a few "hmm"s, he said to us, "The principal wants to see you."
