Chapter 517 Zhuang Xuanji's Reminder
The main difficulty in making this kind of incense without fire lies in the recipe.
It needs to be made by mixing agarwood powder, benzoin, night-blooming jasmine, old pine smoke, and spring water in a certain proportion.
The other ingredients here are easy to find, but the Yellow Spring Water is not so easy to find.
What is meant by "Yellow Spring Water"?
Simply put, some graves have developed problems and are leaking water. The water that has soaked the coffins is called "Yellow Spring Water".
After finishing the fifth step, Zhuang Xuanji said the sixth step, which was to sever the connection between Da Li and the Five Fiends. This step had nothing to do with us and would be carried out by Zhuang Xuanji himself.
Da Li is connected to the Five Fiends through a secret technique. As long as the energy line remains unbroken, he will suffer a backlash if the Five Fiends become disordered.
The solution is to use an ink line soaked in talisman water to secretly draw an invisible energy line along the inside of the wall from the top floor to the first floor of the building, following the cracks in the earth's veins, to sever the connection between Da Li and the Five Evils.
The chalk line is hidden in the cracks in the wall and the crevices between pipes. To achieve this, the building's property management needs to cooperate. We can't help with that, and even if we wanted to, Da Li wouldn't trust us.
The seventh step is to dispel the evil spirits and perform a ritual to help the deceased pass on.
This step will be a collaboration between us and Zhuang Xuanji.
After the plan was finalized, Da Li had no objections, so we proceeded accordingly.
For the next seven days, we did nothing but resolve the Five Killings Gathering Wealth Formation in Windsor Building.
Seven days later, we held a Buddhist ritual for the deceased at the rooftop amusement park.
After the ritual was completed, the dozen or so small black shadows that had been lingering there disappeared, turning into specks of light that vanished into the air.
"It's finally over!"
Seeing the light disappear, Da Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the ritual to help Da Li feel involved, Fatty Lin opened his third eye.
"Brother Li, now that all the infant spirits and vengeful ghosts have been exorcised, I can say I haven't let down the reputation of being the official feng shui master of our Big D Association!" Fatty Lin handed over the task of collecting the altar to me and went to Brother Li to ask for a reward.
I almost laughed; Fatty Lin is always up to something.
This title is just a title. Apart from the work in Pengcheng, these people from the Big D Association have never given us any work.
Fatty Lin deliberately brought up the Big D meeting to disgust Da Li.
"You little brat, do you think I'd let you work for free?"
Upon hearing this, Da Li understood and handed Lin Pangzi a pre-signed check, saying, "Five million, it's been prepared for a long time!"
"Brother Li is so generous!"
Fatty Lin made a funny sound and took the check.
"Xiao Lin, thankfully you discovered it early and called me, otherwise the consequences would have been much more serious. Consider this five million a bonus, take it!"
After thinking for a moment, Da Li took out another check and handed it over.
"Brother Li, you're a tycoon, so I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
Fatty Lin accepted the check with a grin.
Long Nier and I exchanged a glance and remained silent.
If the previous five million was our reward for helping him out of this predicament, then this five million is hush money.
Fatty Lin understands, and so do we.
"Peiru, keep running the restaurant. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me!"
After handing over the check, Da Li turned to look at Zhou Peiru, who had been following Lin Pangzi around for the past few days.
"Okay, Mr. Li!" Zhou Peiru nodded quickly.
This was after paying hush money, they were also using the restaurant as leverage to pressure Zhou Peiru into not talking nonsense.
"Alright, I'll be going now if there's nothing else. Xiaolin, didn't you say you wanted to help Peiru with her health? Why don't you take her for that?"
After giving Zhou Peiru a warning, Da Li patted Fatty Lin on the shoulder, gave Zhuang Xuanji a look, and turned to leave.
"Master Lin, with the evil energy from Windsor Building gone, Hong Kong Island is rid of another source of malevolent influence!"
As soon as Da Li left, Zhuang Xuanji said this with a smile.
"President Zhuang, are you implying something?" Fatty Lin's expression shifted.
I also got up and looked at Zhuang Xuanji. He was talking about the Five Fiends causing chaos in Hong Kong.
"Master Lin, Master Feng, Ms. Long, you don't need to be nervous. Not everyone wants Hong Kong to be in chaos!" Zhuang Xuanji said meaningfully.
"President Zhuang, what do you mean?"
Fatty Lin frowned.
"My meaning is very simple, you don't need to treat me as an enemy!" Zhuang Xuanji said.
"President Zhuang, forgive my ignorance, but I still don't understand what you mean!" Fatty Lin said in a deep voice.
Let alone Fatty Lin, I also can't figure out what Zhuang Xuanji is trying to do.
"Shall I give you some pointers?" Zhuang Xuanji said with a smile.
"Great!" Fatty Lin laughed along.
"Master Lin, you need to understand one thing: Hong Kong is not peaceful, and those wealthy people like to make moves, which is a good thing for us!" Zhuang Xuanji said meaningfully.
"Think about it, if one day Hong Kong becomes truly peaceful and the weather is favorable, and those wealthy people stop making moves, will people like us still have any value?"
"Therefore, the best situation for Hong Kong is one of chaos without complete breakdown!"
"Also, how do you think the news of the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong was leaked?"
"Master Lin, this society is very complex; it's not simply black and white!"
At this point, Zhuang Xuanji was quite emotional.
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Think about some things yourself. Don't treat everyone as an enemy!"
After saying that, Zhuang Xuanji left without waiting for Lin Pangzi's reply. He then put his hands in his pockets, played with a small seal, and slowly walked away.
"Damn it, it's all about business!"
A few seconds later, as Zhuang Xuanji's figure disappeared from the rooftop, Fatty Lin spat.
"This guy really hid it well!"
I murmured.
"It's all business!" Long Nier exclaimed.
We understand what Zhuang Xuanji meant.
There are certainly external forces like John Bull who want to ruin, disrupt, or even destroy Hong Kong.
Zhuang Xuanji understood and knew all of these things.
He even participated in the schemes orchestrated by the Five Fiends to disrupt Hong Kong.
But at the same time, they leaked the information, leaving this feng shui arrangement of the Five Evils causing chaos in Hong Kong forever in an imperfect state, never to take shape.
In this way, they can keep making money.
Money from external forces and Hong Kong's wealthy elites—as long as Hong Kong remains in chaos, they will never lack livelihoods.
"You madman, why do you think Zhuang Xuanji is telling us all this?"
After pondering for a moment, Fatty Lin, who had figured it out, was still somewhat puzzled.
"I reckon he's worried that we're young and might act recklessly, getting carried away with our passion and doing things without thinking, just like what happened to Wu Peiwen back then!"
I said.
That makes sense!
Fatty Lin thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "He's telling us that everything is just business. Like this time, we have a solid foundation for cooperation, and there's no need for us to fight each other!"
"We have to thank Nier for this. If Nier hadn't had countermeasures, especially by making an example of Wu Peiwen, do you think he would have been so reasonable this time and come to remind us?" I said coldly.
