Volume 1: Yellow Sand Hundred Battles Chapter 42: Haunted House Renovation
"According to your idea, we plan to divide this haunted house into two parts, with the front and back yards separated by a high wall. Only the main building lobby is accessible, so we will make the most comprehensive design for the main building.
Look, this is our design drawing for the main building. Our plan is to build a total of three floors on the ground floor of the main building, using the architectural style of the Yellow Crane Tower, and then dig another floor underground to guide all the evil and strange aura in the house in, and then transfer through here and disperse to the two side buildings against the left and right walls.
These two side buildings are considered outer wing rooms, all against the red wall, with two floors above ground and one floor underground. I divided each floor into twenty rooms, so that the evil spirit can be guided in, which can replenish the demons and ghosts that want to live here.
Near the gate, we will build a row of small buildings with only one floor above ground. All of these small buildings have reverse rooms. The gatehouse and front yard kitchen will be arranged here. At the same time, some servants from the outer garden can also live here.
Behind the high wall is a row of back houses , which are where the servants in the inner courtyard live. I also put the inner courtyard kitchen and other things here. Further back are the inner wing rooms and the main house.
Because all the Feng Shui here is directed to the main building, I did not build the inner wing rooms and the main house too high, so as not to affect the flow of Feng Shui. All of them are built with one floor above ground and one floor underground.
Finally, I will build a row of back rooms for you here. As for the back door, it will be left for you, but it is usually locked. You can open it whenever you want to use it.
After that, you will see that I will use a tic-tac-toe pattern to divide the extra land into thirty-six courtyards of different sizes, and arrange them using the Tiangang Qi Gathering Formation to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
I will open a few more doors for you here and turn them into the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation."
After the architect finished speaking, the great Feng Shui master came over and explained his arrangements for Feng Shui. He said that the dried-up pond in the front yard would be utilized, and a Feng Shui bridge would be built. Also, a well and a garden would be arranged in the backyard.
Wang Liang was watching there very carefully. He found that as the great Feng Shui master arranged things bit by bit, the entire mansion seemed to come alive.
Next is the matter of the mechanism master and the summoner.
The mechanical engineer designed a door for the mansion that can open and close automatically, as well as the Seven Treasures Dingguang Tower that Wang Liang had seen on the sand boat before.
However, the level of this mechanical engineer is much stronger than Wei Ban. The Seven Treasures Dingguang Tower he built has the ability to automatically lock onto invaders and attack.
There are a total of seven Qibao Dingguang Towers, which, together with the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation prepared by the great Feng Shui master, can prevent most foreign invasions.
As for the energy of the Qibao Dingguang Tower, Wang Liang does not need to provide it. The evil energy in Feng Shui is the main source of energy for the Qibao Dingguang Tower.
At the same time, other arrangements were made in each small courtyard and several main buildings. In addition, Wang Liang did not expect that murals, street lights and the like were also considered mechanisms. This was quite unexpected.
The summoner began to help Wang Liang provide the most basic manpower needed for the mansion. First of all, the eight gates needed to be guarded.
The summoner said directly to Wang Liang: "It's not impossible to arrange human servants for you, but it's not necessary. Let me help you summon two stone lions at the main gate. They both have 500 years of magic power, one male and one female.
In addition to biting attacks, males can also use hydrangeas to launch meteorite attacks. In addition to biting, females can also summon a group of lions to charge, thus ensuring that the gate is not affected.
There are two side doors, one for entry and the other for exit. I have arranged dog demons, which are the souls of dead dogs, to guard the entrance. I will summon five of them for you so that outsiders cannot get in. I will summon three eagle spirits for you on the exit to guard this place and prevent people from stealing things.
Then there are the side doors and corner doors on both sides, which are where the servants come in and out. I have arranged Huai Yao and Liu Linglang to help you watch them all day long.
I'll put up a set of door gods for you at the back door. When the door is not opened, no one will notice the existence of a back door.
In addition, I have arranged ten black cat demons in the house. These black cats will clean the room for you and get rid of some snakes, insects, rats and ants in the house.
Do you think there is anything else you need?"
Wang Liang thought for a moment and said, "The carriage for traveling, and the coachman and so on."
As soon as Wang Liang finished speaking, everyone looked at him. Looking at their gazes, Wang Liang felt a little puzzled.
"Why, is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Of course not. Whatever Master Wang says is right. And Master Wang must not be used to being a player yet. Players actually bring their own mounts with them. They can summon them whenever they want to go out. Therefore, most mansions don't have stables or anything like that."
Wang Liang knew he had made a fool of himself when he heard this. He did not ask whether the horses that had become mounts still needed to eat grass or anything like that. He just nodded and agreed to the summoner's arrangement.
Then they discussed for a while and set up some small formations outside the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and the Seven Treasures Dingguang Tower. Most of these small formations were aimed at Feng Shui, and a small part was aimed at houses.
However, Wang Liang noticed that all the arrangements of the magic arrays had unified requirements, that is, no matter what the function of the magic array was, all of them must be under the control of a large core.
And the big core is the three-story main building in the center of the mansion. Only if the main building exists, everything in the mansion will exist, otherwise this place will be completely destroyed and disappear.
After everything was settled, the great Feng Shui master turned and looked at Wang Liang.
"Okay, now you need to get something that represents you to use as a foundation weight for the mansion."
"What do you need?" Wang Liang thought about it and found that he really had nothing to offer.
"A seal or hair or something like that can represent your existence."
Wang Liang thought about it seriously, and finally took out a seal from his pocket. This was a private seal he had carried with him before going to Beijing for the exam, and he kept it with him even when he was exiled.
At this time, this ordinary quality seal has been polished to a patina.
Wang Liang picked up the seal, swung the sword at it, and easily cut off the part with his name engraved on it.
Then he used his fingernails to carve his new seal on the bottom.
'Wang Ji Dragon Seal'
Wang Liang had some ability in stone carving. After carving the seal, Wang Liang played with it in his hand, and felt more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.
At the same time, he had a feeling that the seal in front of him seemed to have become one with him.
He handed over the seal he had just carved, and the great Feng Shui master took it and took a look at it.
"Dragon King's Mark, what a domineering name."
