Chapter 104 Dragon Fish
"It really is an arowana!"
Compared to me, although Liu Erye's face showed shock, it quickly faded. He took out a piece of red cloth from his coat, covered the bowl, and then took the bowl out.
"Arowana?"
Fatty Lin muttered to himself, then his eyes widened. "Second Master, is this a fish formed from spiritual energy?"
"Not bad, they have some knowledge!"
Master Liu nodded with a smile.
"What kind of spiritual energy transforms into fish?" I asked.
"The Book of Burial says: 'Qi disperses when carried by the wind, and stops when it encounters water. The spiritual energy transforms into scales, bringing blessings to one's descendants.' " Old Man Liu looked at the bowl covered with a red cloth in his hand with some emotion.
I glanced at Fatty Lin, indicating that I didn't understand.
"The meaning is very simple: if some tombs are located at the apex of a dragon vein and are nourished by spiritual energy, they may give birth to spirit fish!" Fatty Lin explained.
"A single red carp swimming by is an auspicious sign, indicating that one's descendants will have successful careers in government!"
"The sight of a school of fish swimming is an auspicious sign, indicating a prosperous family for a hundred years, with abundant wealth and many descendants!"
Fatty Lin became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing to the bowl in Uncle Liu's hand and saying, "This isn't a real fish, it's a dragon fish, a fish formed from the earth's spiritual energy!"
At this point, Fatty Lin paused and didn't continue.
"Speak up, why did you stop talking?"
Master Liu looked at Fatty Lin with a half-smile.
"Second Master, you really are my master! We two brothers are too small to handle such a big thing!" Fatty Lin said with a mournful face.
"What's wrong, Fatty?" I was a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
Fatty Lin pointed to the bowl covered with a red cloth and said, "You madman, this kind of dragonfish can be used for reburial!"
"Think about it, these two dragonfish took a hundred years to form from the earth's spiritual energy. A hundred years! With such fortune, whoever has their dragonfish buried here will surely prosper!"
"Especially the top families, if they knew something like this had appeared, they'd go crazy!"
"Second Master, what do you want to do?"
When I came to my senses, I also felt like crying.
I don't know about others, but I know that if Third Master knew, he would definitely go crazy.
"With me in front of you, what are you two afraid of?" Old Master Liu said nonchalantly.
"Second Master, your body can't take it either!" Fatty Lin said.
"Who said I was going to top it off!"
"I snorted," said Master Liu.
"If you're not going to step up, are you expecting us two to step up?" Fatty Lin asked.
"No one needs to step in!"
Master Liu smiled and said.
"Second Master, what exactly do you mean?" Fatty Lin was almost in tears.
"Are you still going to play pranks on me?" Master Liu asked with a smile.
"I won't be naughty anymore, I definitely won't be naughty anymore!" Fatty Lin quickly shook his head.
"What if he gets even more mischievous?" asked Master Liu.
"If you keep being naughty, I'll be your grandson!" Fatty Lin said.
"Look, still trying to fool me!" Old Master Liu pointed at Fatty Lin.
"Second Master, I was really wrong, please stop teasing me!" Fatty Lin almost knelt down.
"snort!"
Old Master Liu snorted, pulled something out of his overcoat, and threw it over.
"DV, Panasonic!"
Fatty Lin caught it instinctively, and after glancing at it, he was somewhat surprised.
"You know how to use it, right?" Master Liu asked.
"meeting!"
Fatty Lin skillfully turned on the camera, saying, "I often do this when I'm working with models from Kongmei.com!"
"Kongmei.com? What's that?"
Master Liu was somewhat puzzled.
"An online version of Heaven on Earth!" I explained simply.
Just as she finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through her lower back, and Long Nier's calm voice rang in her ears, "You also dabble in photography and videography?"
"No, no, I'm not like that fat guy, I never keep any pictures!" I quickly said.
"When we get home, I'll explain everything that happened before, in detail!" Long Nier pinched him hard and then let go.
I winced in pain and glared resentfully at Fatty Lin.
Every time I get pinched, I blame this guy.
This guy is practically a master of all five poisons; which Taoist priest is as adept at it?
They even took photos and videos! No wonder the money on my membership card disappeared so quickly; now I know why.
"Second Master, why are you giving me this?"
Fatty Lin pretended not to see my resentful look, waved the DV in his hand, and said to Master Liu.
"Record what I do in a moment to prove that these two dragonfish have returned to where they should have been!" said Master Liu.
"What do you mean?" Fatty Lin asked.
"The meaning is very simple!"
Master Liu pointed to the small pit where the coffin was buried and said, "This is a ley line node. These two dragonfish were formed by stealing the spiritual energy from the ley lines!"
"They've grown, but the earth's ley lines have been damaged. I'm now going to return these two dragonfish to the earth's ley lines!"
"Second Master, you mean that the family that orchestrated this scheme spent a century stealing the earth's spiritual energy to create these two dragonfish, right?"
I summarized my thoughts and asked the question.
"That's right!"
Master Liu nodded, pointed to the wrapped-up infant corpse, and said, "Using bloodline as a guide to seize the earth's veins and steal the dragon's fortune, this whole family deserves to die!"
"Do you know which one it is?" I asked.
"It's unclear at the moment!"
Master Liu shook his head and said, "I can roughly tell that it's either the Huang, Guo, Chen, or Xie families—those few powerful clans!"
"Aren't they afraid of affecting the fate of the nation?" I asked.
"What do they have to do with influencing the fate of the nation?"
Master Liu scoffed and said, "What they seek is the continuation of their family line. As long as the family can continue, whether the country exists or not is of no concern!"
"If the skin is gone, what will the hair cling to?"
I said.
"It's no use talking to them. Like I said, for them, family lineage is more important than anything else. Besides, they're not even in the country. For them, Southeast Asia is their root!" Master Liu said coldly.
"I see!"
I slowly exhaled, and in that instant, I understood many things.
No wonder the domestic turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China did not affect their plans, because they were not even in China.
They only need to come back every now and then to make sure that nothing went wrong with the setup.
"The various rumors that have surfaced in this house over the past few years were also spread by them, right?" I said.
"right!"
Master Liu smiled and said, "Things are different now. No matter who owns this house, if they want to renovate it, they'll inevitably dig deeper. Once they dig, the secrets beneath won't be kept!"
"To prevent anyone from taking over, they had to spread all sorts of rumors, and then use the feng shui arrangement of the place to make those rumors seem true. All of this was to protect these two feng shui dragon fish!"
"When the dragonfish matures, they will use secret techniques to extract it and relocate it back to the ancestral grave, which will be enough to ensure the family's continued fortune for another hundred years!"
At this point, Master Liu paused and said, "Did you notice how much the temperature here dropped after I took out the dragonfish?"
"We can feel it!" The three of us nodded at the same time.
"If I really take the dragonfish away, this place will become the number one haunted house in the capital within six months!" said Master Liu.
