"Young man, tell me, how did you decide that store No. 7 is the best?" The old man asked me to explain to him in a pretentious manner.
"In terms of the knowledge of the Five Elements and Bagua, you can see that Shop No. 7 is facing the center of the lake in the park. Of course, it is the location where you can gather the most wealth. More importantly, Shop No. 7 is the Gan position, and the Kun position corresponding to it is a vast mountainous area. , it is just right to do the Lord’s father to make a fortune, and Kun to keep the money, just right, and do the five elements to make money. Therefore, I concluded that No. 7 is the best financial position. As long as a man, especially a man who is a father, runs a business, it will be better than the other ten. Five stores are good.
The old gentleman smiled and did not directly comment on my judgment. Instead, he introduced himself first, "My name is Gao Ye, also known as Ye Zhuangzi. I was originally an honest farmer. I got into Feng Shui by chance. This is a profession. At the beginning, I was very unsure. Later, I learned more about Feng Shui and gained more experience, so I figured out how to tell fortunes by myself. Haha, I rely on experience in reading Feng Shui. You Ah, it’s all about theory.”
Can you rely on experience when looking at Feng Shui? This is the first time I have heard that if you really know Feng Shui, you need to know something about the Five Elements and Bagua. Otherwise, if you don’t have any theoretical foundation and just rely on Feng Shui, isn’t it just pure blindness and speculation?
But it cannot be said that the experience of Feng Shui is not important. Theory guides practice and must be based on reality. Relying solely on theory will become dogmatism, make unrealistic judgments, and then make plans that are not in line with reality. , the service effect will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the principle of Feng Shui is that theory guides practice, and everything starts from reality. If it is purely based on theory and implemented immutably, it can only be regarded as Zhao Kuo's war - talking on paper.
I thought this old fortune teller named Gao Ye was interesting, so I asked him for advice: "Mr. Gao, you are also a Feng Shui master, so tell me about your experience."
"Okay, come here and stand in front of No. 7 with me."
I followed him and stood in front of the No. 7 facade, "Come, look, the sun shines on the sparkling water. The shaking is not obvious in the shallow water, and the light is weak. The wave in front of us is The shaking is obvious and the waves are brighter, which means that the deeper the water, the better to hold money. The deeper the pit, the better to hold money. Come and turn around with me."
He pulled me around and took a few steps back, "Look at the mountains in the northwest that are higher than the two sides. That means it's more difficult for the wind to blow away the money, which means it can be saved."
"Also, look at the floor of this store. It's flatter and has less echo. What does that mean? The soil underground is solid and strong."
I thought what he said was a bit redundant, even a bit false, so I asked him to prove it to me.
Takano seemed to know that I didn't believe him, so he said to prove it to me, "Boy, don't believe me when I tell you. Lie down on the ground and put your ears to the ground." 33
Following his request, I lay down on the ground with my left ear close to the ground. He jumped hard beside me. Except for the sound of his footsteps, there was really no echo from the ground.
"Let's go to Shop No. 12 and try again."
The two of us arrived in front of Shop No. 12. We also put our ears to the ground. He jumped next to me again. This time we heard an echo, which was obviously the echo of the hollow underground.
I stood up, patted the dirt on my body, and said: "Mr. Gao, you really have two brushes, or you are a Feng Shui master! I think Feng Shui is purely the theory of the Five Elements and Bagua. At most, I can find some useful brushes." Place the symbolic objects and then draw an auspicious charm, and that’s it.”
"Also, let me tell you the truth to the old gentleman. I am actually a Taoist priest. Even though I am young and hairless, I am in charge of a Tianshi Pavilion and specialize in doing things that ordinary people cannot understand. Look at Feng Shui and look at Feng Shui. Those can only be regarded as external conditions. Whether the business is really good or not depends on the skills of the people doing the business! Otherwise, even the golden catkins cannot cover the bad catkins."
After saying that, I smiled proudly. I can read Feng Shui, but I don't really care about Feng Shui.
"Haha, young man, don't be modest. You are an authentic Taoist and know much more professional knowledge than me. I have lived decades longer than you and have experienced more. Since I can read Feng Shui, I , right here, I want the most auspicious appearance to do what I do."
I looked at him and asked again, "Senior, what kind of business does your shop handle?"
"Looking at Feng Shui, choosing names, looking at people's acupoints for burial, and testing calligraphy!" Takano said seriously, squinting at me and asking in a playful way, "Do you want to write a calligraphy? I'll test it for you. It only measures three characters a day, if there are too many, it won’t work.”
I smiled and declined politely, "Thank you, Mr. Gao. I don't believe in this. The Yin and Yang theory has a certain philosophy. As for the word test, I don't think it is necessary. People's lives are destined. I don't believe it. I can only say Whether it's luck or not, I think people can rely on their own efforts to live a better life. As for accepting and believing in fate, it's pure nonsense. On the premise of respecting objective laws, we should give full play to people's subjective initiative. That’s right.”
After listening to what I said, Gao Ye gave me a thumbs up and praised: "Haha, you are the most opinionated young man I have ever seen. That's right, you can control your own life. All of us must follow the trend of the times. , Respect the laws of nature. There is no natural law that revolves around one thing. Follow the laws of nature. I have only met one person with such a high level of insight as you. He is an experienced man. His name is Feng... Lei..."
"Taoist Fenglei?" I tried to answer.
"Yes, it's Taoist Fenglei. Do you know him?" Gao Ye's eyes flashed with a gleam, the kind of desire that is hard to find for a true friend.
"To be honest, Taoist Fenglei is my master, and I am his most proud disciple. Zhang Ruoxu, whose Taoist name is Yangsheng, is the 228th generation leader of the Jidao Celestial Master Pavilion."
Gao Ye also laughed, feeling happy that he had found a close friend, "Little brother, I'm very happy to be able to talk about Feng Shui and metaphysics with you. If you weren't at such a high level, you turned out to be a disciple of Fenglei Taoist. Everything will be fine in the future. Come and sit in my shop more often, and we can discuss life more."
"Mr. Takano, aren't you just opening the market to make money? How can you spare the time to chat with me?" I had some doubts and told him directly.
"To put it bluntly, money is like a bastard. You can make money if you don't have it, but it's hard to find a close friend. So, I put aside my old face and hope that brother Yang Sheng will come here often in the future."
I smiled and agreed: "You don't mind it, senior, I will definitely come and bother you more in the future. By the way, have you decided on the name of the shop?"
"I haven't decided on this yet. I don't know what to name it?"
I blinked, thought for a while, looked at this very knowledgeable old man, and came up with an idea.
"Since you haven't decided on a name for the shop yet, how about I come up with a name for your reference."
When Gao Ye heard that I was going to name your shop, he was so happy that he opened his mouth from ear to ear and asked, "That's perfect. You are proficient in Five Elements Bagua and Feng Shui metaphysics! What mysterious and mysterious name should you choose?"
"Ahem" I deliberately coughed, waved my hand to him, and said: "The name I chose has nothing to do with the Five Elements and Bagua. It is just four simple words that reflect your abilities. You want You are such a master, then your name is your signature.”
After listening to me beating around the bush for a while, Gao Ye became a little anxious and urged: "Since when have you become such a mother-in-law? What's your name?"
"God calculates Takano."
"God calculates Takano?"
He visibly paused, and after a moment, he gave me a thumbs up, "Godly Takano, um, a good name, a really good name."
Some people died, but not completely...
