Chapter 345 7-Star Tank
"Brother, I feel disgusted too!"
A few minutes later, as the two left, Long Nier wrinkled her nose in disgust and said, "So pretentious!"
"Only Fatty Lin could handle a woman like that!" I said.
Three days later, Fatty Lin returned.
This time, he didn't come back alone; Master Liu and Blind Zuo also came back.
"Second Master, Fourth Brother, you've found out so quickly?"
I was somewhat surprised to see Master Liu and Blind Zuo.
"Fourth Brother is a master strategist; he can see through everything, from underground to underwater. Isn't the Junyi Hotel affair a piece of cake for him?" Fatty Lin said sarcastically.
"You fat bastard, you never say anything nice. Are you trying to mock me?" Blind Man Zuo kicked him.
Fatty Lin jumped back from the kick, chuckled, and said, "Fourth Brother, how could that be? I'm praising you the most!"
"Second Master, look at his dead face! It's only been a few days, and he's almost dried up. If his master were alive, he would definitely kill him!" Blind Zuo was furious and turned to Second Master Liu to complain.
"Little Lin, you need to be careful. Even if you were made of oxen, you couldn't withstand this kind of abuse!" Old Master Liu glanced at Fatty Lin and said.
"Second Master, I'm stronger than an ox!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said shamelessly."
"Cows won't take my tonic!" I retorted.
Fatty Lin's lips moved as if he was about to retort, but I said again, "Do you want to take my medicine or not?"
He went silent.
"Second Master, Fourth Brother, tell me, what have you discovered?"
Seeing that Fatty Lin had given in, I looked at Master Liu and Blind Zuo.
"It's almost certain that the Junyi Hotel uses a seven-star interconnected water tank!"
"That's what the blind man on the left said."
"Fourth Brother, Second Master, have some tea!" Long Nier then brewed the tea and poured a cup for each of us.
"A seven-star galaxy?" I asked.
"Um!"
The blind man on the left nodded, pointed to his eyes, and said, "Thirteen, I used my Earth Eye to observe the earth's energy at the Junyi Hotel. The Li family has built seven large celadon vats on the fourth basement level, arranged according to the Big Dipper constellation!"
"In Feng Shui, this is called the Seven Stars Alignment Jar, the heart of the Junyi Hotel that can ward off evil and nurture good fortune!"
"If it weren't for Second Master's protection, I would have been attacked by the malevolent energy when I was observing the aura!"
In the end, Blind Zuo was a little emotional.
"Seven-star tank!"
Fatty Lin muttered to himself, "I think I've heard of it before!"
"You should listen carefully this time!"
Master Liu snorted, picked up a pen, marked the seven large celadon jars on the map, and said, "Those seven large celadon jars are arranged according to the Big Dipper, namely Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang."
"Among them, the fourth cylinder in the Tianquan position is the central cylinder, which connects to the Kowloon Cauldron in the Cheung Fung Building; the seventh cylinder in the Yaoguang position is the Guiqi cylinder, which connects to the Julong Stele in Repulse Bay."
"Second Master, wait a minute, what's the deal with the Kowloon Cauldron at Cheung Fung Building and the Dragon Gathering Stele at Repulse Bay?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin interrupted Master Liu.
"What happened?"
Master Liu glared at Fatty Lin and said, "While you were having sex with those three actresses at the hotel, we went to Changfeng Building and Repulse Bay to observe the atmosphere of those two places!"
"Oh, I see!" Fatty Lin smiled awkwardly and rubbed his nose.
Uncle Liu ignored him and continued, "Those seven vats, each contained tidal water, cinnabar, glutinous rice, and the first hair of the Li family's descendants, and buried a star stone corresponding to the star position."
"Glutinous rice absorbs evil, cinnabar strengthens the soul, tidal water guides energy, baby hair connects with human relationships, and starstone attracts stellar power."
"Outside the Seven Star Jar is a copper wall for suppressing evil spirits. The wall is engraved with scriptures for warding off evil. The space between the wall and the jar is filled with glutinous rice mortar to prevent the evil energy from leaking out."
As he spoke, Master Liu drew out the specific locations of the vats and the arrangement between the bronze wall used to ward off evil spirits.
"Oh, I see!" Fatty Lin exclaimed in sudden realization.
Master Liu glanced at him and continued, "The hotel uses the Sky Mirror and the Returning Dragon Ladder to collect all the negative energy from Victoria Harbour, the traffic problems in Hung Hom, and the hotel's popularity into the Seven Star Jar."
"After collection, the central cylinder, which is Tianquan, receives the commercial energy transmitted from the Nine Dragons Cauldron of Changfeng Building. It merges with the evil energy in the cylinder and, catalyzed by the star power of the Big Dipper, transforms the evil energy into the prosperity of the Li family."
"The transformed prosperity, through the Qi Gang, also known as Yao Guang, is transmitted along the earth's veins to the Ju Long Bei (Gathering Dragon Monument) of the Repulse Bay mansion, ultimately nourishing the Li family."
"How complicated!" I murmured.
"Second Master, the more complex a feng shui formation is, the easier it is for mistakes to occur. How does the Li family prevent mistakes from happening?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Good question!"
Master Liu nodded and said, "Do you know that there are several rooms on the seventh floor of the Junyi Hotel that are used for human sacrifices?"
"Human sacrifice?"
Lin the Fat and I exchanged a glance, both of us shocked.
"Um!"
Master Liu nodded and said, "Every few years, the Li family arranges for guests whose fates are compatible with theirs to be placed in corresponding rooms on the seventh floor!"
"None of the guests staying in the corresponding rooms on the seventh floor survived!"
"They died from accidental deaths—drowning, electrocution, or cardiac arrest!"
"After death, their souls will be drawn into the corresponding seven-star jars through the air vents under the bed, becoming jar spirits and continuously providing energy for the feng shui arrangement!"
"Damn, that's ruthless! Isn't this just human sacrifice?" I cursed.
"It's human sacrifice, and it's timed human sacrifice!" said Master Liu.
"Second Master, what does 'timed' mean?" I asked.
"The meaning is simple: the spirit within each jar can only last for seven years. After seven years, if there are no new living sacrifices, the glutinous rice inside will rot, the cinnabar will lose its effectiveness, and the evil energy will overflow!"
"That's what Master Liu said."
"So, if we don't perform the sacrificial rites regularly, the entire feng shui arrangement will become ineffective?" I asked.
"That's right!"
Master Liu nodded and said, "The malevolent energy coming from Victoria Harbour was too strong. No spirit in the vat survived the first wave. Even the mother and daughter in Moonlit Pavilion couldn't withstand such a heavy malevolent energy!"
"They're treating human life like dirt!" Fatty Lin chimed in.
"Stop it! This is blatant disregard for human life!" said Master Liu.
"Second Master, what should we do? Is there any way to break this deadlock?" I asked.
"There are solutions, but they won't be easy to implement!" said Master Liu.
"Second Master, what do you mean?" I asked.
"The Li family has a feng shui bodyguard team at the Junyi Hotel, specifically for maintaining the feng shui layout inside. We almost got exposed this time!" said Master Liu.
After saying that, he glanced at Fatty Lin and said, "Speaking of which, we have to thank Little Lin this time. If he hadn't been causing trouble next door and attracting those people's attention, we might not have been able to get away!"
"Second Master, see? We owe you a lot this time!"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin immediately became arrogant.
