Chapter 208 The Trapped Dragon's Ascension Scheme
The next morning, Yu Mingyi came to pick us up and we went to Dapu Yu Garden together.
"Dapu Yuyuan was sold and demolished 30 years ago. After all these years, will it still affect our family?"
After getting on the bus, Yu Mingyi asked.
"The things that are visible have been torn down, but the things that are hidden might still be there!" Fatty Lin said meaningfully.
"Master Lin, what do you mean?" Yu Mingyi asked tentatively.
"I'm not sure if that's true or not. We'll find out when we get there!" Fatty Lin didn't elaborate, keeping everyone in suspense.
"oh!"
Yu Mingyi seemed a little uneasy, rubbed his hands together, and then introduced us to the situation of Dapu Yu Garden.
The main building of Dapuyu Garden is a Gothic-style castle with three floors. From the top of the building, you can see the bay across the bay, which is a beautiful view.
However, when it was built, the road hadn't been completed yet, so you had to take a boat to get there.
"So, there weren't many people around Dapuyu Garden back then, right?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin interrupted Yu Mingyi.
"right!"
Yu Mingyi nodded and said, "That's why this place gradually fell into disrepair after my grandfather died!"
"Mr. Yu, please continue!"
Fatty Lin neither confirmed nor denied this, and gestured for Yu Mingyi to continue.
I had a question in my mind: Could someone who has seen the world's glamour, married more than ten wives, and had more than twenty children really be content to live in a desolate place?
What's in it for?
Is it quiet?
You have to understand that Yu Dongxuan was only in his early sixties at that time, and he was still very energetic. How could such a person be willing to live in Dapu?
Even if he built the Dapuyu Garden into a riot of flowers, it wouldn't change the fact that there were hardly any people there.
Yu Mingyi glanced at Fatty Lin and continued speaking.
Tai Po Yu Garden is the largest of the three Yu Gardens, covering an area of over 600,000 to nearly 700,000 square feet, which is equivalent to more than 60,000 square meters, or the size of nine standard football fields.
In addition to the main building, there are gardens, swimming pools, a zoo, and a racetrack.
Aside from the fact that there weren't many people, it had everything you could need.
After the sale, the interior was basically completely demolished, and it is now a high-end residential community with a total of 72 luxury homes.
"Master Lin, apart from a historical information plaque at the entrance of the Dapu Yu Garden, there's no trace of its former self left!"
"The garden was bulldozed, the pond filled in, and the buildings demolished. Is it really possible to find any clues now?"
Yu Mingyi was a little skeptical of Fatty Lin.
"Mr. Yu, if I say it's possible, then it's possible!"
Fatty Lin said, enunciating each word clearly.
Yu Mingyi paused, then fell silent.
Half an hour later, we arrived at Dapuyu Garden, or rather, the Yajing Garden residential area.
As Yu Mingyi said, apart from a historical information board at the entrance of the community, there is no trace of the past.
Just like yesterday, Fatty Lin was pacing back and forth at the door with his compass.
After circling for about ten minutes and glancing at the bay across the bay for a while, Fatty Lin returned to Yu Mingyi, who was craning his neck and looking anxious.
"Master Lin, is there any progress?" Yu Mingyi asked.
"Got it!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
"Can the curse on our Yu family be lifted?" Yu Mingyi asked, his voice trembling slightly.
Yu Mingyi is the fourth-generation head of the Yu family. Under his leadership, the Yu family has made a comeback, for example by repurchasing shares of Eu Yan Sang, revitalizing the brand value of Eu Yan Sang, and expanding its stores to 300.
It can be said that, under his leadership, the Yu family has shown signs of revival.
The previous three generations of leaders of the Yu family all died suddenly when the Yu family was beginning to prosper.
So, Yu Mingyi was genuinely afraid!
He feared that one day when he closed his eyes, he would never see the sun rise again.
"Mr. Yu, before we break the curse, let me tell you a story!" Fatty Lin said, keeping everyone in suspense.
"good!"
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Although Yu Mingyi was unwilling, he still nodded in agreement.
"At the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, a remarkable person emerged in the world of feng shui, skilled in locating dragon veins and auspicious burial sites. This extraordinary person wanted to locate the dragon veins again and rebuild the Han dynasty!"
"Since the north was occupied by the Manchus, he headed south in search of the Southern Dragon!"
"So this person followed the dragon vein southwards, and eventually arrived in Guangdong Province!"
"During this process, this person discovered a strange phenomenon: the further south they went, the more branches the main dragon branched out!"
"Upon arriving in Guangdong Province, he discovered that the Southern Dragon vein had split into nine, dispersing towards a small island in front of it. Furthermore, one of the dragon veins was being escorted and surrounded by the other eight, ultimately forming a feng shui formation resembling a dragon crossing the sea and returning to its ancestral home!"
At this point, Fatty Lin paused, glanced around with a slightly pretentious air, and seeing that we were all waiting for him to continue, he finally said, "This island is called Kowloon Island!"
"Kowloon?" Yu Mingyi seemed to understand something.
"That's right!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "This Kowloon Island is the original Hong Kong Island."
"What does that have to do with our family?" Yu Mingyi asked.
"Mr. Yu, please be patient and let me explain!"
Fatty Lin turned his back to the bay opposite and said, "That extraordinary person wants to use this feng shui formation of 'Returning Dragon Looking Back to its Ancestor' to raise a true dragon and rebuild the Han dynasty!"
"When it came time to take action, this extraordinary person discovered that because the earth's energy in Guangdong Province was too thin to bear the dragon's energy, the 'Returning Dragon to its Ancestral Home' formation might end up being nothing!"
"Therefore, this extraordinary person devised a method: to select an auspicious burial site and solidify the dragon vein!"
"What do you mean?" Yu Mingyi asked.
"The meaning is very simple: we need to identify auspicious burial sites in Guangdong Province and use these sites as nodes to receive the dragon's energy and nurture the true dragon!" Fatty Lin said.
"Master Lin, do you mean that the auspicious burial site in my house, where the wind blows through the silk ribbon, is one of the key points?" Yu Mingyi understood immediately.
"That's right!"
Fatty Lin clapped his hands and said, "The reason your Yu family was able to rise to prominence so quickly is because of the dragon energy accumulated in that auspicious burial site, Fengchui Luodai!"
"If it's an auspicious burial site, if it's a dragon vein, why have generations of our Yu family members died suddenly in their prime?" Yu Mingyi asked, somewhat agitated.
"Greed knows no bounds, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. You can only blame your ancestor for this!" Fatty Lin said.
"What happened to our ancestor?" Yu Mingyi asked.
"It's already a stroke of luck that we were able to find that auspicious feng shui spot, Feng Chui Luo Dai. But your ancestors actually dared to try to seize the dragon vein and create a trap to make the dragon ascend to heaven!" Fatty Lin said.
"What do you mean? I don't understand!" Yu Mingyi shook his head.
"Didn't you understand?"
Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "Your grandfather Yu Dongxuan's three Yu Gardens are all modeled after Western Gothic castles. You don't actually think that your grandfather built them like this because he was born on Lu Ban's birthday and needed to undertake large-scale construction to prolong his life, and because he liked this kind of Western castle, do you?"
