The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 114: Fierce Fight! Seven Wonders of Campus! (11)

"Feng Shui..." The store manager repeated the word, and then he thought about it and said, "Oh, I know, it's the magic technique used in China to change the energy of the environment, right? Zhuge Liang's Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms..."

Due to the spread of Feng Shui culture by overseas Chinese, Feng Shui culture is still very popular abroad. Even if ordinary people don’t understand it, they know that it exists. Japan is no exception.

"It's a bit too much to call it a magic, but it is indeed very useful." Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand and smiled, "And Feng Shui is not something that is just a legend. To put it bluntly, it is an empirical science summarized by the ancients. It is a discipline that studies the impact of the environment on people's psychology and physiology. It's just packaged with metaphysics to make it more impressive. In fact, it is not that mysterious in essence."

"Well...can you explain it in more detail?" The store manager sounded confused.

"Let's take a simple example." Qian Xiaoyi said, "If the exhaust of the toilet next door is not done well in the office we are in, it will often emit unpleasant gases, affecting the people working here. This kind of environment can actually be said to have bad feng shui. Obviously, if we renovate the exhaust of the toilet and make the air fresher, we can improve the feng shui."

"I understand." The store manager suddenly realized: "So that's it, it's actually that simple?"

"There are more complicated ones." Qian Xiaoyi said, "From the initial site selection and planning to the subsequent decoration and furnishing, all of them can use the content of Feng Shui to make the living people live more comfortably and the dead live more peacefully."

The store manager asked in confusion: "So, you want to use Feng Shui to transform my haunted house?"

"That's right." Qian Xiaoyi said, "The secret technique of Feng Shui can make people live more comfortably by changing the environment. Conversely, if used, people who are proficient in this technique can also know how to make people more uncomfortable. If you are interested in this technique, I can tell you more about it."

"I'm very interested. Please teach me, Mr. Qian, no, Teacher Qian!" The store manager became excited. He was indifferent when talking about business, commissions and other realistic things, but he became interested when talking about how to scare people. Not to mention that this is the legendary Feng Shui secret technique. It would be great if he could learn a trick or two.

"There are no reference objects here, so we can't understand it intuitively. So let's go to the haunted house. I'll give you some on-site teaching and explain some basic knowledge to you." Qian Xiaoyi said.

"Great." The store manager stood up attentively: "Let's go quickly."

About half an hour later, the store manager respectfully sent Qian Xiaoyi out, calling him "teacher" all the time, and it seemed that he was impressed.

The next day, the House of Horrors closed for the first time in a long time and posted an announcement outside the store saying that it would be renovated for two days. This made some haunted house enthusiasts very curious. The seven incredible themes of the campus had only been set up for less than a month, so why was it going to be changed?

Qian Xiaoyi stayed in the horror house every day for the next two days, helping the store manager to replan the existing layout.

In Feng Shui, looking at Yangzhai and Yinzhai are two completely different subjects. For Yangzhai, if you want to arrange Feng Shui well, you must have extremely rich experience. In addition to the planning of various patterns, from a metaphysical point of view, you must also add changes in the fate and eight characters of the owner's family. From a scientific point of view, it is the fit between the owner's personality, habits and the environment, and the content is extremely complicated. In other words, this is a water-grinding work that requires a lot of experience and requires a lot of time to settle. As a young man, Qian Xiaoyi certainly didn't learn this well. To put it bluntly, helping people look at Yangzhai is not their strong point. But he can look at Yinzhai. The most work he and his master do is to arrange funerals for people, from looking at Yinzhai to burying. He thinks that looking at Yinzhai is much simpler than Yangzhai. As long as the basic things are not wrong, there will generally be no mistakes. After all, the owner who lives in this house will not give a bad review.

So he arranged the layout of the haunted house as if it were a tomb, and a tomb that even ghosts would feel uncomfortable living in. It would be strange if people could feel comfortable living in it. Anyway, a haunted house is not for living in. As long as the feng shui layout ensures that evil spirits do not accumulate and a ghost domain is not formed, there is no need to worry about anything really happening.

When the haunted house was renovated on the third day, the store resumed business. Qian Xiaoyi and the store manager stood in the monitoring room, ready to observe the reactions of the tourists.

"It's really exciting~ We've been preparing for so long." The store manager sat in front of the surveillance screen with great interest, like a child waiting for the long-awaited movie to be released, his eyes full of smirks ready for mischief. He hasn't been so happy in a long time, just like when the haunted house was opened not long ago. At that time, sitting behind the surveillance screen and watching the embarrassment of the customers was his greatest pleasure, and he enjoyed it every day.

"Yes, this is our masterpiece." Qian Xiaoyi stood at the back with his arms folded, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the store manager, I also learned a lot. The tricks in the haunted house are also very profound."

"No, no." The store manager said, "Teacher Qian is the real master. In the past, I didn't know that some small changes could have such a powerful effect. It seems that I still have a lot to learn on this scary Avenue of Stars. Feng Shui is really amazing."

Just as the two were admiring each other and praising each other for business, the first wave of tourists finally came in. Three men and one woman, they walked into the hidden night vision camera lens with curious expressions.

"Here it comes." The manager leaned forward, rubbing his hands, and the smirk on his face was about to burst out.

"Ah, I know them." The store manager smiled and said, "They are regular customers of the store. The one leading them is Hasegawa. Basically, when the theme of each haunted house changes, they are the first to come. You can say they are avid fans of haunted houses. I hope they can enjoy themselves."

On the other side of the surveillance screen, four haunted house enthusiasts walked to the entrance. One of them looked at the entrance of the school gate and said, "What? Didn't the theme change? It's still the Seven Wonders of the Campus. Even the school gate hasn't been changed. What on earth did they change?"

"No, it's still a little different." Hasegawa touched his chin and looked at the entrance, saying, "The last time we came here, the light was much dimmer. It was a night scene, and there were all kinds of clichéd and eerie lighting, which made people feel sick of it. It was too deliberate. But now it's a little different. It's a dusk scene, and it looks just like an ordinary evening in reality. The gate is no longer eerie, and even the guards behind it are gone. It gives people a sense of reality."

"Hearing you put it that way...it's true." Another companion said, "Although the current scene is very ordinary, it is very immersive. It feels like you are about to step into a real abandoned school building for adventure. If you think about it carefully, you will feel a little numb."

"Really? It's just a gate." The female companion said, "You guys are overthinking it, right? Go in quickly. It will be boring if it's the same as last time."

"That makes sense." Hasegawa nodded: "Let's go in quickly."
