Chapter 364: Monster Star Duty
On Dingsi day, there was light fog in the early morning.

Nalan Rongcuo had been standing on the high pavilion in Su Luo Garden for several hours, and his clothes were slightly wet by the morning mist.

There was no way he could sleep.

Because today is the day when the restaurant opposite opens.

Why today?

Nalan Rongcuo thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He was an expert in Feng Shui and knew very well which day would bring twice the result with half the effort and which day would bring disaster.

Ordinary people all know that when doing things, they have to choose the ecliptic. If not, they have to choose a higher-profile star or a higher-curved star.

And what is today?
Monster star on duty!

If this star occurs, it is called the Snake and Turtle Entering the House. Whenever one builds a house, gets married, moves, takes up a post, or opens a business, he will surely be involved in legal trouble, be imprisoned, or fall into the water. Within 400 days, there will be illness and mourning, and the disaster will continue for three consecutive years.

Simply put, it's the worst day.

If any gentleman chooses this day for his employer, there is a chance that even his ancestral graves will be dug up along with the people living there.

"Tsk tsk~ I thought the person on the other side was some kind of expert, but just looking at the quality of the gate, I know it's not very good."

Behind Nalan Rongcuo stood an old couple and a blind man. The old couple were dressed like a peacock spreading its tail, in colorful clothes, while the blind man looked much more ordinary, wearing an old blue Taoist robe.

The person who was speaking was an old woman with a wrinkled face. The powder she had on her face was so thick that it started to fall off as she spoke.

Her man was so thin that he was almost skin and bones. When he suddenly looked like a skeleton, he looked like a spirit. He always spoke with a strange laugh.

"If the doorpost is not straight and leans, it will cause illness, the family will decline and disasters will occur frequently, and people will die unjustly; if the door is leaning, the population will not fit, and the door is higher than the wall, which means you will cry a lot; if there are many holes in the door, disasters will happen, you will be stabbed and suffer misfortunes, and you will definitely waste your time. Did the person opposite you get kicked in the head by a donkey? You stepped on all the small Feng Shui situations that the door should avoid. Nalan, have you really been tricked by the person opposite you? It doesn't make sense."

"People make mistakes and horses stumble. Maybe Mr. Nalan had an injury on his buttocks that day, and got bit by those little brats."

"Oh~~~ Don't talk nonsense. No matter how uncomfortable Nalan's butt crack is, he can still deal with you. Don't you feel how many ghosts he has raised here? I don't believe that his ability has deteriorated."

The old couple sang in unison without any sense of boundaries, and the blind man rolled his eyes helplessly, even though he had no pupils.

You two really don't understand the ways of the world, calling someone a rotten butt to their face.

But it is understandable. After all, he is used to being a boss in northwestern Shanxi. He rarely leaves his hometown for most of his life and has never developed the habit of reading other people's faces.

Having said that, this matter is indeed intriguing.

He knew Nalan Rongcuo's abilities. He had been a medicine inducer since he was young. However, things are unpredictable. The one who took the medicine died first, and his entire strength was almost defeated by Da Chongjiu. The survivors escaped with Nalan Rongcuo, the great treasure.

Later, he was rescued by Yuan Wenqie by chance. However, at that time, Nalan Rongcuo was put in an antique jar. Yuan Wenqie probably only thought that he had found a treasure, but he didn't know that Nalan Rongcuo inside was the real treasure.

It is extremely yin by nature and extremely poisonous by nature, and is completely a walking soul-destroying flag.

It's a pity that everything has its limits. Nalan Rongcuo's life span is too short and he only has a few years left to live. But this does not mean that he will become weaker and weaker. On the contrary, he will become stronger as he gets closer to his death.

Which expert could have made Nalan Rongcuo so unsure of victory? Or was it in the base camp that he had worked so hard to build?
Could it be that Da Chongjiu has come to visit?

That shouldn't be the case. Recently there have been rumors that Da Chongjiu has fallen into internal strife, and that behind closed doors they have fought like crazy, to the point where only one in ten people are left.

Even if we take a step back, the feng shui layout created by the opposite side is simply that of an amateur among amateurs.

Just the door construction alone can encompass all the bad situations, which is outrageous.
and many more!

Was it intentional?
The blind Taoist priest slightly turned his head to face Nalan Rongcuo. The latter had naturally thought of this, but could not figure out what the purpose of doing so was.

While thinking.

The door of the house opposite named "Juejuezi's House" was slowly pushed open.
There were quite a few people around watching the fun, as they had all heard that this was a teahouse for watching operas.

I’d like to see what kind of troupe dares to perform a big show opposite Suluo Garden.

But after the door was opened, there were no firecrackers, no dragon and lion dances, no lights and decorations, and no guests being welcomed.

What kind of approach is this?
As everyone stopped to watch, they saw two people walking out of the door. Their steps were very strange, sometimes taking small steps and sometimes taking big strides.

The most outrageous thing is the dress.

Why does it look so much like mourning clothes, but the color is a little different.

Dong~dongdong~dongdongdong~dong~dong~
Kang Mu'ang held King Wu's whip in his right hand and King Wen's drum in his left hand, and circled in front of the steps following the beat of the drum.

Zhao Sanyuan next to him was holding an old scale rod in one hand and sprinkling some kind of powder around with the other, mumbling to himself.

The two of them were indeed dressed deliberately, with a lot of small accessories on their bodies.

As the saying goes, a clear mirror has four sides, and the two centers of the ribs are in the middle. Hold a scale in your hand and stand in the west ground like a pine tree. The thin rope is three feet and five inches, the red cloth is three feet long, seven new needles, the same amount of white cloth as red, forty-nine chicken feathers, and the same number of copper coins.

It's not quite right to say that they are not recruiting guests, it's just that the two people are not recruiting living people.

Ordinary people could not see it, and the wandering ghosts around were gradually attracted by the two brothers and floated into the gate. Ordinary people shivered suddenly and tightened their collars.

And this is the beginning of the game.

Lao Liu applied all the Feng Shui skills he had learned throughout his life to this game. He absolutely could not maintain it by himself, so his brothers had to help share the burden.

At the same time, Nalan Rongcuo and others on the high pavilion in Su Luo Garden saw it clearly.

"What are they doing with the spirits?"

"What else can I do? Sing a ghost show."

"I know. What I'm asking is why we have to sing a ghost show?"

"Maybe they want to entertain the ghosts and let them rush into the Suluo Garden as cannon fodder." "That makes sense, old man. You are smart."

Nalan Rongcuo ignored the crazy couple.

His eyes passed Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang, and through the door, trying his best to see the layout inside.

Because Zhang Xiaogou had led people to guard the place strictly, and the workers were eating and living inside, the spies could not find anything at all.

What we know is that Zhao Sanyuan and his team deliberately built the entire restaurant to be wide in the front and narrow in the back, with some empty space left in the northeast corner.

The house is wide in front and narrow in the back, resembling an official residence. There will be unrest in all seasons. The fortune will be ruined and people will die. Gold, pearls, treasures, fire, theft and punishment!
The right side is short and the left side is long, which is not suitable for living. The wealth will be lost and the population will be empty. The descendants in the house will be stupid. There is no cure for the unnecessary deaths caused by quarrels!
Taking all of this into consideration, it was definitely intentional.

Who is behind this? Are they the two people wearing masks and summoning spirits?
Nalan Rongcuo was confused, and the onlookers on the street were even more confused.

This job is so new. I have never seen a business opening and welcoming guests in this way. Anyway, no one dared to move his legs first to go in.

While Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang were working, Liu Mangfan, on a strange building in the backyard of the restaurant, dressed himself up, burned incense and greeted everyone.

If Nalan Rongcuo saw this building, he would definitely be shocked.

Sitiantai style!

If this platform is built according to the highest standards left by our ancestors, the lower left should be based on earth, bricks, tiles and stones, with a circumference of 8864 zhang wide and 33 zhang high, with 18 floors below and 33 floors above. The wood should be square inside and round outside, with flags and railings erected in the east, west, south, north and center. There should also be 28 celestial tablets with 28 constellations written on them, and the celestial disk should rotate, indicating good and bad luck.

Liu Mangfan's card certainly cannot be made according to the full match, but it is small but complete, with everything it should have. There are also many differences, such as the twenty-eight cards are not stars and fairies, but some fierce and aggressive demons.
When the time came, Lu Xiucai in the audience immediately cut off the chicken's head, and blood spurted out for a long distance.

But what was strange was that after his head was chopped off, Brother Ji actually kicked his legs to break free from Lu Xiucai's hand, and then ran around the Sitian Terrace at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Paw prints appeared one after another on the lime all around. If you look down from above, you will find that the lime paw prints have actually formed a temple prayer wheel image.

On the stage, Liu Mangfan held up the fragrance of incense and invited in a deep voice.

"The golden rooster with brilliant feathers in hand was born in Phoenix Mountain!"

"On Phoenix Mountain, the phoenix faces the sun, the gate is made of gold and the beams are made of silver!"

"The golden gate and silver beams are all new, and the golden light shines brightly in the gate!"

"Open the cock's comb and take out the precious blood, one for offering to heaven, the other for offering to earth!"

"The third time I offer sacrifice to the ancestor Lu Ban, the fourth time I offer sacrifice to the ruler of noon to determine the length!"

"The fifth sacrifice is to make the four directions of the L-shaped gate, and the sixth sacrifice is to make the chisel and hammer clang!"

"Seven sacrifices to the mud frame with two sides shining, the ancestors of heaven and earth have been sacrificed, and the disciples are paying homage to the Yin Yang beam!"

"First, pay tribute to the Wanli Red Dynasty in Liangtou, and then pay tribute to the prosperity of the family and country in Liangdu!"

"The third sacrifice is the fluttering belt of Liang Yaojiao, and the fourth sacrifice is the Tai Chi formation of the Central Earth."

The curse was very long, and Liu Mang kept muttering for a long time without stopping.

Mr. Lu in the audience was stepping along the temple prayer wheel, but not in the usual clockwise direction. Instead, he was walking in the counterclockwise direction as instructed by his brother Liu.

Daji comes first, followed by Shenzhen, then the village chief, Wensong, Tiangang, Shenfu, Shenan, and finally Gongcao.

"Geng Ding Kun is the Yellow Spring, Yi Bing is the empty defense of Xun Water first!"

"Jia and Gui should not see Gen in the middle, Xin and Ren should not see Qian in the water route!"

Almost at the same time, Liu Mangfan and Lu Xiucai finished their spells. The garden inside and outside seemed to shake slightly, and all the insects, ants and birds inside were scared away. The mice didn't even want to nest, and fled in panic in groups.

At this point, the Feng Shui situation of Gui Ge has been formed.

The Shanhai Town that Liu Mangfan wanted was established, but as the center of the formation, he could not act on his own. It was similar to Nalan Rongcuo in Suluo Garden. As the initiator of the formation, he was also the center of the formation and could not leave unless the formation was withdrawn.

Our brother Liu's old cold legs were also suffering. He was standing on the high platform in such a cold day, blowing the cold wind. Fortunately, he prepared a small stove for heating in advance and skewered a lot of lamb, so he was able to hold on.

The two brothers who were calling back the souls outside the gate felt that the small feng shui here affected the big feng shui.

Zhao Sanyuan thought to himself, Brother Liu, you are really good at it. You actually succeeded. You can clearly feel that the thick and lingering evil aura above Suluo Garden is dissipating.

Is it that good overcomes evil?
No.

What our brother Liu has done is to fight evil with evil. I am more evil than you. The arrangements inside and outside are all reversed.

Let's not talk about the gate, there are countless tough jobs inside, it just depends on whether they can sit still.

As for now?

Of course, it is to welcome guests.

Zhao Sanyuan picked up the gong and banged it hard, then raised his arms and shouted.

"The show is free, and those who arrive first will receive a fruit plate~"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was instantly excited.

No matter what you were doing just now, put the fruit plate into your mouth first to taste its true fragrance.

Nalan Rongcuo, who was sitting on the high pavilion opposite, had a gloomy face. He had roughly guessed what Zhao Sanyuan and others were going to do.

You are so cruel!!!
