Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Magical Duel (Additional update for the 10th alliance member Versace·S!)
“First of all, this house,” Wang Hao pointed at the surrounding high-rise buildings enveloping the mansion and said, “These skyscrapers encircle this property, creating what appears to be a sheltered pattern, but the problem lies in the fact that the shops around have boxed the mansion in, creating a well-like formation. To put it bluntly, this is called ‘sitting in the well and looking at the sky’ in Feng Shui, which is a very unfavorable layout structure!”
Hearing Wang Hao start off with the term “sitting in the well and looking at the sky,” Master Liu’s face changed instantly!
Whether one understands Feng Shui or not, professionals can usually tell from a few words.
So when Master Liu heard Wang Hao mention “sitting in the well and looking at the sky,” he knew trouble was brewing! He had clearly overlooked this point earlier!
“Nonsense!” Master Liu snorted, “Obviously, this is the pattern of a ‘wealth pot’! That’s why I said this house is good!”
“Don’t be in such a hurry, Master Liu,” Wang Hao looked at Master Liu with a sly smile and said, “I haven’t finished yet, what’s the rush?”
Once everyone around quieted down, Wang Hao continued, “Actually, the building itself isn’t too problematic; after all, finding a perfect structure isn’t easy these days due to limited land. So it’s tolerable that the big picture of the building is slightly off. But!” His tone finally turned serious as he said, “Fatty, look at the position of the westernmost unit, isn’t it directly aligned with the road entering the community?”
Ren Xing studied it closely and then nodded, “Yes, that’s right!”
“This is what we call a ‘piercing shaft’ in Feng Shui!” Wang Hao finally got down to business, “A piercing shaft is an invisible force. The saying ‘a straight road is like a gun’ means that if the front door of a house is facing a long, straight corridor or path, or if you’re at the center and there’s a straight road or river charging towards you, it’s considered a piercing shaft. This kind of layout is very inauspicious. However, since there are so many houses in this row, the problem isn’t too severe. The real key issue, Fatty, take a look at this.” Wang Hao pulled Ren Xing closer and then said, “From the position of this front door, if you look straight ahead, aren’t the top two floors just above the top level of the shops?”
Ren Xing looked carefully and continued to nod, “That’s right! It is!”
“He he, that’s correct.” Wang Hao nodded with a grin and said, “What I mentioned before aren’t serious problems, but this last point is the most severe! Because according to Feng Shui, this is called ‘Heavenly Slash Evil,’ meaning that when two tall buildings are very close, they create an extremely narrow gap between them, looking as if the house has been split in two by an axe dropped from the heavens! This issue, combined with the earlier ‘piercing shaft’…”
Wang Hao’s face suddenly turned ominous as he said, “If someone were to live in this house, heh heh…”
A piercing shaft! Heavenly Slash Evil!
Just hearing about these two types of evil energies was enough to scare people, even without anyone living in the house yet!
“Oh my, now that I look at it, this house really cannot be bought!”
“Exactly, this is what a true master is like. Just listen to him, it’s professional!”
“Although he’s young, I wonder who taught him, but what he says makes sense!”
The surrounding crowd was abuzz with discussion, seeing Wang Hao in a new light!
Ren Xing slapped Wang Hao hard on the shoulder, “Hahahaha, Brother Hao, I knew bringing you was the most reliable decision. If it wasn’t for you, I would have bought this house and moved in—then I’d be doomed, right?”
Ren Xing had always believed in these mystical things since he was a child. If Wang Hao hadn’t come, he would have paid for the house without a second thought.
But now that Wang Hao described such huge problems with the house, it couldn’t be purchased, not at any cost!
As for Master Liu, Ren Xing had initially thought him to be a true expert, but now he seemed quite ordinary!
“You, you’re spouting nonsense!” Master Liu pointed at Wang Hao and shouted, “I think there’s absolutely no problem with this house. You’re just deliberately trying to sabotage me! What piercing shaft, what Heavenly Slash Evil—are there so many evil energies?!”
His outburst raised the curiosity of many onlookers.
“Right, these evil energies sound quite formidable, but living there can’t be that mysterious, can it?”
“I don’t think it’s a big deal. Didn’t you hear? Feng Shui is such that if you believe, it exists; if you don’t, it doesn’t!”
“It’s hard to say, I’ve heard about a family in our area who had all sorts of issues because of bad Feng Shui—quite spooky!”
Surrounding people were buzzing with discussion, but Wang Hao didn’t pay attention to them and just stared at Master Liu, sneering, “Master Liu, I ask you, do you know the dozens of types of Evil Qi in Feng Shui? Do you know what ‘Reflective Evil’ is? Do you know what ‘Feet Cutting Evil’ is? Do you know what ‘Sickle Evil’ is?”
With each question Wang Hao asked, Master Liu took a step back until, after the third type of Evil Qi had been mentioned, Master Liu was already sweating profusely!
Wang Hao pressed on, “Then do you know what ‘Heavenly Gate and Earthly Portal’ is? What about ‘Nine Dragons and Nine Stars’? What about ‘Five Mountains and Five Stars’?!”
Master Liu continued to shake his head. By the time Wang Hao had finished his barrage of questions, he had already nearly retreated to the door!
“If you don’t understand any of these and can’t explain them, then what Feng Shui are you offering to people?!” Wang Hao snorted coldly, “A charlatan acting all high and mighty. At first, I thought you had some skills, but it turns out you’re nothing but a fraud! Someone like you, I could take on ten of you single-handedly!”
“You!” Master Liu, pointing at Wang Hao, was trembling, “You’re spouting nonsense and confusing the crowd with nonsense! Where’s all this mystique supposed to be?!”
Damn it, you don’t believe in the mystique, yet you’re taking people’s money?! You don’t believe in it, yet you’re putting on airs as if you’re someone very important?!
Wang Hao was about to continue the fight when the commotion attracted so many people that the lobby manager, curious, came over. After listening, she immediately became displeased, “Young man, by saying our property is no good, who will buy these houses then? Who will be responsible for the loss?”
The lobby manager’s name was Zhao Fang as per the name tag on her chest, a woman in her early thirties, with an ordinary appearance but a delicately arranged ponytail, her brows knitted in clear irritation.
“That’s right, that’s right, you’re cutting off people’s livelihood!” Master Liu shouted from the side, “That’s not ethical!”
Cutting off people’s livelihood? Your property is riddled with major Feng Shui taboos, not to mention several major structural issues within the house itself. Now, you’re blaming us because you can’t sell the property?
If Fatty really fell for your scam and actually bought this house, when he eventually finds out about the Feng Shui problems, whose fault will it be then?
Wang Hao was about to respond when, at that moment…
“Manager Zhao, where is Manager Zhao?!” A man ran in, flustered and sweating heavily. Upon seeing the female manager, he shouted, “Manager Zhao, I want to cancel my purchase! I’m requesting to cancel!”
Someone wanted to cancel their purchase! And in front of so many people!
As soon as this was heard, everyone in the place was in an uproar, crowding around and packing the lobby so tightly that Manager Zhao’s face changed, but there was no room for her to leave!
“Mr. Li, please don’t panic,” Manager Zhao Fang asked hastily, “What happened, why do you want to cancel?”
It was apparent that this man was of high status, so even though he was demanding a cancellation, Manager Zhao dared not neglect him.
Most importantly, Manager Zhao was very aware that Mr. Li had bought the unit right below the one Wang Hao had mentioned earlier, on the third floor!
“Ever since I got this apartment, I’ve faced nothing but bad luck!” Manager Zhao said despondently: “Right after buying the apartment, my company ran into problems. My son fell down the stairs at school and ended up in the hospital, and just yesterday, my dad was in a car accident while shopping at the market. Luckily, he took an extra look or he wouldn’t be here anymore!”
Wang Hao, listening on the side, was dumbfounded, “…”
At that moment, someone curiously pointed to the building and asked, “Mr. Li, which property did you buy? Is it this one?”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s the one, the western unit!” Manager Zhao kept nodding, “I thought I might have been hexed or something. But then I paid a lot to hire a Feng Shui Master, and after he looked at it, he told me there was a serious problem with this house! But as to what the problem was exactly, he couldn’t say. He just told me to either cancel the purchase or seek a master to resolve it. Manager Zhao, you deal with it!”
