Folks believe that if you want to be rich in life, you must achieve three points, namely: one fate, two luck, and three feng shui.
According to "numerology", a person's destiny is often determined from the moment of birth. This is like a computer setting program. Once "written", it is not easy to change. Therefore, if people want to change their destiny, they put their hope in the third item, which is "Feng Shui".
Don’t you see, none of the emperors, generals and ministers of the past dynasties built their tombs in the "feng shui treasure land" of their ancestors, and those warlocks who made a living by "looking at the tombs" were treated as gods on earth. In ancient times, if a person knew the "tomb-telling technique" well, then this person's life would be rich and noble.
This is true for emperors and generals, and it is also true for the general public, especially wealthy families. They spend a lot of money to hire experts to find Feng Shui treasures and use them as family shady houses to protect future generations. How can ordinary people like us understand the importance of geography?
However, although there is a "treasure land", it does not necessarily benefit future generations. Mr. Yu Yue, a great scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, once recorded such a story in his notes, about a very wealthy family. Qian's family buried their deceased relatives in the same cemetery, but there were two completely different endings. If you are interested in this story, please read below.
It is said that a wealthy family in Anhui, the Xu family, selected a shady house in advance for their relatives on the sickbed, so they spent a lot of money to hire a feng shui master to find an excellent land for them.
The person in charge of the Xu family is named Xu Yukun. He followed the Feng Shui master to many places, but nothing was satisfactory. When he was feeling worried, Mr. Feng Shui pointed to a farmhouse not far away and said: "This place is surrounded by mountains, where winds and energy gather, and it is a blessed place for auspiciousness and treasures!" After hearing this, Xu Yukun was very excited. But after taking a closer look at the farmhouse's dilapidated house with low walls, the excitement suddenly disappeared and turned into frustration.
He asked Mr. Feng Shui: "Sir, he keeps saying that this place is a blessed place for auspicious treasures. If it is really a blessed place, why did his house fall into this state? Sir, please don't treat me badly, right?"
"No!" said Mr. Feng Shui firmly. Said: "Although my ability is not as good as Qingwuzi, I have never missed a Yin House. I said this place is a blessed place, so this place must be a blessed place. However, this place is suitable for building a Yin House, not a Yang House. Then A family built a house here without knowing what was going on. If his house is not ruined, there is no justice."
"Oh!" Xu Yukun suddenly realized, "If he hadn't said it clearly, I would have almost wrongly blamed him. I will let them. Give up the land, such a wealthy place cannot be occupied by poor people like them!"
Xu Yukun led his entourage to the outside of the courtyard wall, and shouted inside through the half-person-high courtyard wall to let the people in the house The man came out quickly and said he had something to discuss.
After a while, the door of the house rang, and an old man in his fifties walked out. When the old man saw a few unfamiliar faces standing outside the courtyard wall, dressed like rich people, he asked: "Who are you and why are you coming to my house?"
Xu Yukun didn't bother to talk nonsense to him and ordered his entourage to pass the message on his behalf. The attendant was also a scornful person, and he coaxed the old man to give up his house. He just asked for as much money as he wanted.
Unexpectedly, this old man was quite brave and always insisted on two words - not selling!
At this moment, Xu Yukun was anxious. He quickly put down his arrogance and begged the old man to give him this piece of land no matter what. As for the asking price, everything was easy to negotiate.
The old man was like an old stubborn donkey. No matter how much Xu Yukun talked about it, he refused to change the owners of his dilapidated house and yard. The old man said that the house was left by his ancestors. Although it was a little dilapidated, it was still a memory. If it is sold to others, it will be a disgrace to the ancestors.
Xu Yukun had no choice. He was a respectable person and he was too embarrassed to be violent, so he had to go home in frustration and make long-term plans.Among his clients, there was a smart man named Zhou Kai, who was not only scheming but also eloquent. He volunteered himself and promised to get the piece of land for Mr. Xu. Xu Yukun knew Zhou Kai's methods, so he confidently and boldly gave him full authority to handle this important task. After the task was completed, he would be rewarded heavily.
Zhou Kaiduo is a clever master. He is not in a hurry to compete with the stubborn old man. Instead, he hides near the broken house and observes the movement secretly. Within a day, Zhou Kai grasped the details of the farmer's family. He noticed that there lived an old man, a lame old woman, and a big girl in that dilapidated courtyard. Judging from the girl's age, she is quite old, and she is not ugly, but she has never seen any young men around her. In other words, the eldest girl has not been able to find her husband's family yet and is still single.
Zhou Kai has a plan in mind, and he will use a "beautiful man trick" to deceive the stubborn old man. Making up his mind, Zhou Kai pretended to be a passing guest, opened the courtyard door of the old man's house, and asked a kindhearted person to give him a bowl of clean warm water to quench his thirst. Most of the farmers were honest. Without thinking, they let Zhou Kai into the house, brought a large bowl of warm water, and grabbed a handful of dried fruits for Zhou Kai to eat, drink and rest.
Zhou Kai's mouth has the ability to cut gold and jade, and the clouds and mountains are shrouded in mist, and the sky is full of flowers. Before he can drink the bowl of water, he has already been regarded by the stubborn old man and the lame old woman as the best person in the world. I had to keep him for lunch.
Since Zhou Kai came here to deceive people, he was naturally well prepared. He took out the wine and meat from the bamboo basket he carried with him, and met the old man face to face, eating a piece of meat, sipping a sip of wine, talking and laughing, it was so lively. The more they talked, the closer they got, and the more they talked, the more they got along, so much so that the old man talked about everything and revealed all his family background to Zhou Kai. Naturally, the main concern of the old couple is their daughter's marriage.
The old man said that as my daughter got older, she would not be able to stay, but no one came to propose marriage. It should be said that no matter how good-looking the daughter is and how good her conduct is, the matchmaker who comes to her door should have broken the threshold long ago. But the daughter has already become a twenty-year-old old girl, so why doesn't anyone take notice of her? The old couple were almost sick because of this matter. They were worried to death.
When Zhou Kaiyi heard this, he thought he had something to say. He comforted the old man for a few words, and then said: "I have a nephew, and the young man is not to mention very decent. Now he is quite old, but he is devoted to studying poetry and books. , delaying the perfect age to get married. I think your daughter is a perfect match for my nephew. If I don’t mind it, our two families might as well get married. I wonder what I want?”
“Too It’s done!” The old couple cried with joy, looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally looking forward to their success. Now it's better, the daughter's rest of her life is settled, and the old couple can finally wait to be buried without worries.
Zhou Kai's words are either true or false. It is true that he has a nephew, but his nephew is not a serious person. He is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. It is true that he looks like a human and a dog, and he does not have a wife. Zhou Kai's sister urged him, the uncle, to find a wife for her nephew more than once, and Zhou Kai really took this matter to heart. Now the job was done. Not only did he find a cheap wife for his nephew, but he also got a large reward from Mr. Xu. This was called the best of both worlds, and he reaped all the benefits alone.
Suddenly, Zhou Kai took his nephew to the stubborn old man's house and sat there for a while, asking him to meet his uncle to prove that he was not lying. When the stubborn old man saw that this young man was well-spoken and good-looking, he was naturally very surprised. Let's talk about that big girl. She secretly looked at her future husband from the back room through the door curtain. She was so tall and handsome. It was so heart-pounding that she couldn't control it.
Both families had no objections, and the marriage was decided. Zhou Kai lied to the old man and said that he was looking for someone to calculate an auspicious day and quickly get the two children married to save the worries of the two elderly people. The old man had nothing to say, he just listened to Zhou Kai in everything.

Zhou Kai's words are either true or false. It is true that he has a nephew, but his nephew is not a serious person. He is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. It is true that he looks like a human and a dog, and he does not have a wife.

Zhou Kai lied to the old man and said that he was looking for someone to calculate an auspicious day and quickly get the two children married to save the worries of the two elderly people. The old man had nothing to say, he just listened to Zhou Kai in everything.Zhou Kai, on the other hand, opened his mouth and took a large sum of money from Xu Yukun, part of which was used for his nephew's wedding, and most of which went into his personal pocket.
The marriage was successfully completed. Don't tell me, maybe because of the novelty, the young couple is really in love. Zhou Kai's unlucky nephew no longer goes out to fool around all day. He spends all day and night with his new wife, talking and laughing, endless affection and endless affection. He has actually learned the lesson.
Zhou Kai saw the opportunity and ran to his in-laws’ home and said to his father-in-law: “Brother, now the child’s marriage has been settled. My nephew, your uncle, can’t bear to see you old couple living together. They have to let you live in their broken house. If you don't go, my nephew will definitely find fault, saying that I, as an uncle, am indifferent, and will also complain that you have failed him. Think about it. Ah, where can I find such a good uncle? Besides, when the young couple has a child, wouldn't it be good for you to watch over the fat grandson all day?"
"Okay, that's great." My mother-in-law spoke first. Well, I insist on the old man packing his things quickly and going over to live with my uncle. As for this dilapidated house, let it be given to anyone who wants it.
The old man couldn't be more stubborn than the old woman, so he simply listened to the old woman's words, simply packed up, gave up the house left by his ancestors, and moved in with his uncle. His uncle was really filial, treating his father-in-law and mother-in-law just like his own father and mother, and it became a legend in the village.
In this way, Zhou Kai completely completed the errands assigned by Xu Yukun, and naturally received another reward. Let go of Zhou Kai and just say that Xu Yukun's wish has been fulfilled. He quickly asked the Feng Shui master to choose a good time and an auspicious day to break ground and build the mausoleum. After the migrant workers dug a few feet deep, they suddenly dug up a broken monument. After piecing it together, they found ten seal characters on it. Please come and understand and read it, and then you will know that the ten characters are - living means the end of the family, and burial means auspiciousness.
has this inscription, which shows that what Mr. Feng Shui said before is true. Xu Yukun naturally had to repay Mr. Feng Shui's great kindness.
In the few years since the Xu family buried their dead here, the Xu family has indeed become richer. Xu Yukun's eldest son also passed the examination and became a local official. The second son also won the provincial examination and became a scholar. Only the third son was uneducated and had no skills. He followed a bunch of gangsters around all day long. Not only did he lead Zhou Kai's nephew, who had already learned a lot, into trouble, but he also took away his wife. Zhou Kai's nephew fell into the river and drowned because he drank too much yellow soup. His widow was brought to the Xu family by the third son of the Xu family. After they had enough fun, they beat and scolded her. The woman couldn't stand the humiliation and used He hung himself with a hemp rope in the flower hall of the Xu family.
The woman's father, the stubborn old man from before, dragged his old and sick body to Xu's house for theory after the old woman and daughter were buried. How could the tall gatehouse of the Xu family be a place where an unlucky guy like him could set foot? After a few powerful servants knocked the old man unconscious, he was abandoned in the wilderness.
After the old man woke up, he stumbled back to his original residence. The house was gone, only the Xu family's big tomb was left. At this time, heavy rain fell from the sky. The old man cried out that the sky would not respond and the earth would not work. Filled with grief and anger, he bumped into the tombstone of the ancestor of the Xu family. His brain burst immediately and he died unexpectedly.
Just when someone discovered the old man's body and was about to report it to the local land security, suddenly there was a sharp flash in the air, followed by a huge thunder, and the Xu family's tomb collapsed in an instant. The coffin exposed on the ground was smashed into pieces by another sharp flash that followed.
The Xu family thought it was unlucky, but had no intention of moving the grave, so they had the bones found and re-intermented, and the tomb was rebuilt at the original site. A migrant worker dug up a broken stele while repairing a tomb. A knowledgeable person looked at it and recognized it as the seven seal characters "righteousness brings good luck, unrighteousness brings disaster". After telling Xu Yukun, he disagreed and asked people to continue the construction without stopping.
Shortly after the tomb was repaired, the third young master of the Xu family died suddenly. The next year, the second young master was also killed in a crash on the way to take the exam. The eldest son was an official in Shaanxi and was beheaded for embezzling military pay.
Like this, the Xu family will never be the same. Xu Yukun was overly sad and depressed, and soon followed his three sons. This huge business was swallowed up by an unknown fire overnight. There is also Zhou Kai, who always dreams of the stubborn old man who died after hitting a monument and asking for his life. Over time, he became insane. Once, while running wildly on the street, he suddenly fell over and vomited blood and died. At this point, a bizarre story ends.
From this story, it is not difficult to see that choosing a cemetery is important. However, what is more important is the human heart. If people are kind-hearted, they will naturally receive blessings. Why do we need to go around looking at Feng Shui to choose a blessed place? Therefore, being open and honest is the only way to increase your blessings.
