Chapter 456 Formulating a Plan and Selecting Workers
"Is it easy to handle?"
Upon hearing that the Wood and Water evil spirits had been found, Fatty Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is difficult to handle!"
Old Master Liu's voice turned serious. "They've driven seven seven-meter-long iron pillars into the top of Victoria Peak. Removing them won't be easy!"
"What should we do?" Both Fatty Lin and I were getting a little anxious.
"Easy, let those wealthy families handle it!" said Master Liu.
"what?"
We were both completely baffled by this answer.
"What's wrong? Can't figure it out?" Master Liu asked with a smile.
"Yes, I really don't understand. Those wealthy families are in cahoots with John Bull, so why would they help us?" I asked.
"It's true they're in cahoots, but those so-called tycoons also have their own ideas. Hong Kong Island is their root. That Cultural Heritage Protection Association's 'Five Fiends Locking Down Hong Kong' campaign is severing their roots!"
"Without roots, how can they expect to be well?"
Master Liu chuckled coldly and said, "Those wealthy families are more cunning than ghosts. They follow the West and sabotage the interior for their own benefit!"
"With the Five Fiends locking down the port, the root of the problem is gone. They will suffer the most, and they can't just sit idly by!"
"Especially Li Gua, he went to great lengths to create the Three Powers Stabilizing the Sea and the Feng Shui Formation of Gathering Dragons in the Harbor. If the Five Evils Locking the Harbor is successful, the dragon vein of Hong Kong Island will be severed. If the dragon vein is severed, what dragon can he gather?"
At this point, Master Liu paused, then snorted coldly, "At that time, what will gather won't be a dragon, but rather the malevolent energy scattered across the sky after the dragon vein ruptures. If that happens, he'll die faster than anyone else!"
"In other words, if the news of the Five Fiends locking down Hong Kong leaks out, those powerful families will be even more eager than us to break the Five Fiends locking down Hong Kong, right?" I said.
"Even leaks need to be handled properly. We can't make a big fuss about it. The current situation in Hong Kong is actually being tacitly approved. This place is a huge laboratory!" Master Liu said slowly.
"The situation is being tacitly accepted, but there should still be a bottom line, right, Second Master?" I said.
"right!"
Master Liu grunted in agreement and said, "Those Westerners don't treat the Li family and other wealthy families as human beings. According to their plan, if Hong Kong falls, those wealthy families won't fare much better!"
"Slaughtering piglets!" I smacked my lips.
"That's right, it's slaughtering pigs!"
Master Liu chuckled and said, "Those wealthy families aren't stupid. Back then, they sided with John Bull and the West for profit. Now that they're being slaughtered like pigs, how could they possibly agree? So, rest assured, pulling out those seven iron pillars on Victoria Peak won't be a problem!"
"What's the problem with Victoria Harbour?" I asked, letting out a sigh of relief.
"They placed a sunken ship outside the harbor and set up a chain array around it, intentionally altering the water flow to increase the chances of accidents and disrupt the water trade!" said Master Liu.
"This is going to be difficult to handle, isn't it?" I asked.
"Yes, compared to the Wood Fiend, this is the most difficult to deal with!" said Master Liu.
"But don't worry, it'll just be a bit troublesome, but it's not difficult to resolve. The key to the problem now lies with you. The Five Fiends lock the harbor, with the Earth Fiend as its foundation. The more problems you solve, the weaker the Earth Fiend becomes. You must be careful about the Cai family's affairs; they won't dare to act openly, but they'll certainly employ many covert tactics!"
"Also, be careful when taking on jobs after this. They might not do the work themselves, but they're still daring enough to use others to do the dirty work!"
Liu Erye was clearly not very worried about the Five Fiends locking up the port; he was worried about the safety of us.
The Five Fiends Locking the Port sounds impressive, but once the truth comes out, it's actually not that difficult to deal with.
"Second Master, don't worry, they'll try to scheme against us in their next life!" Fatty Lin chuckled.
"You're the one who talks the most nonsense!" Old Master Liu immediately retorted.
"Second Master, is there anything else you need to tell us?" I quickly interjected, otherwise Second Master Liu would have to scold Fatty Lin again.
"Alright, that's all for now. Call me if you think anything's wrong!" Old Master Liu was still a little worried.
"Understood, Second Master!" I said.
Three days later, Cai Chengyu gathered the workers, called us, and arranged to start work at the entertainment venue the following morning.
We arrived at Yuyuan at nine o'clock the next morning.
The fifteen workers Cai Chengyu hired were all veteran construction workers; at the very least, they were all in good physical condition.
Fatty Lin glanced around and said, "You all know what kind of place this entertainment complex is. We've brought you here to work, not to die. So, I'll make some rules clear beforehand, otherwise, if we clash with the evil energy, you'll be the ones who die. Do you understand?"
"Got it!"
The workers returned in a scattered manner.
Fatty Lin's face darkened. "Didn't you eat?" he asked.
"Got it!"
This time the sound was much louder and more synchronized.
Fatty Lin coldly surveyed the group, then held up one finger and said, "First, once construction begins and bones are unearthed, they will all be referred to as ancestors!"
"Second, stop work immediately upon discovering the remains!"
"Thirdly, the pre-construction ritual must be performed with utmost sincerity!"
"Fourth, before we begin, I will give you a cinnabar amulet and a five-emperor coin pendant. You must wear these two items carefully!"
At the fourth point, Fatty Lin withdrew his finger and asked, "Got it?"
"Got it!"
The workers responded loudly at the same time.
"very good!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Now, come up to me one by one, show your identification, and state your birth date and time. Those who pass will be selected; those who don't, take your red envelope and leave!"
"You're the first one!"
After saying that, Fatty Lin pointed to the first one from the left.
The man who was called was about 1.8 meters tall, dark-skinned and muscular. He walked over, handed over his ID card, and said, "Zhang Decheng, born in the year of Jia Yin, the month of Ding Mao, the day of Jia Chen, and the hour of Jia Zi!"
"Hold out your hand!" I said.
"Why!"
Zhang Decheng offered his calloused hand, placing it on his wrist. The pulse was deep and strong, like the roots of an old tree, very steady.
Fatty Lin looked at the ID card on the side. After looking at it, he hung the dowsing ruler above the man's head. The tip of the ruler was steady and did not shake. Then he used the Yin-Yang Mirror to shine on the man's forehead. The mirror was clear and reflected a faint halo of yang energy.
"The Day Master is strong, and the Eight Characters are all Yang. Pass." Fatty Lin put away the Yin-Yang Mirror and said, "Go wait over there and get a bowl of mugwort water."
"Hey!" Zhang Decheng's eyes lit up, and he obediently went to Long Nier to get the mugwort water.
"Next!"
Fatty Lin then pointed, and soon a second worker stepped forward, "Li Jianguo, born in the year of Gengxu, the month of Gengchen, the day of Renxu, and the hour of Wuwu!"
I took his pulse first, and it was fine. Then Fatty Lin took his pulse.
"The Kui Gang Day Pillar is in a favorable position and location."
As before, Fatty Lin first used the dragon-seeking ruler to measure. The tip of the ruler trembled slightly, but it remained vertical. Then he used the yin-yang mirror to measure and said, "The yang energy is sufficient to resist evil. Pass."
