Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

"How do I do it?"

I have to admit, Fatty Lin is really something; he's incredibly cunning.

"Grind the ink for me, but don't add cinnabar, use dark ink!" Fatty Lin said.

"Got it!"

I nodded and began mixing the ink.

The so-called Yin ink, as the name suggests, is talisman ink made from Yin materials.

The base is ink, with a small pinch of hair ash left over from the last silk processing, and a little corpse oil added.

After a few simple stirs, add a little bit of rootless water, and the ink is ready.

While I was mixing the Yin ink, Fatty Lin circled the marble twice, looking at himself in the Bagua mirror again and again.

"Fatty, you're all set, it's your turn!" I said.

"Um!"

Fatty Lin nodded, selected a wolf-hair talisman brush, dipped it in talisman ink, and carefully began to write on the marble.

The marble was black, and the talisman ink was also black. In addition, the lines drawn by the wolf-hair talisman brush were so fine that after drawing a few winding lines, it was almost impossible to see anything.

"Alright!"

After finishing the drawing, Fatty Lin stared at the marble, which was almost undetectable, and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "It will take at least three days, and as little as one day, to completely remove the fox spirit inside!"

"Fatty, what do we do next? Wait for Boss Li to arrive?" Zhou Peiru asked anxiously.

"He won't be here for a while. I need to find the other two evil spirits before he arrives!" Fatty Lin said.

"Still looking?" Zhou Peiru asked, a little flustered.

"Sister Ru, don't worry about anything. If Da Li comes over and asks you later, just say that the waiter accidentally bumped into the marble while cleaning!" Fatty Lin said.

"Will this work?" Zhou Peiru became increasingly uneasy.

"What's wrong with that!"

Fatty Lin chuckled, pinched Zhou Peiru's cheek, and said, "Sister Ru, don't be afraid with me here!"

"Um!"

Zhou Peiru forced a smile and nodded.

"Fatty, do you have any ideas about the other two?" I asked.

"There's a bit, but we'll have to verify it to be sure!" Fatty Lin said.

"How do we verify it?" I asked.

"Go upstairs!"

Fatty Lin pointed upwards.

His pointing reminded me of those three upright yin-yang coins.

"Sister Ru, you know the inside of the building well, so we'll need you to take us up!" Fatty Lin said to Zhou Peiru again.

"Um!"

Zhou Peiru nodded; she now did whatever Fatty Lin said.

After quickly tidying up the ritual implements, we took the fire escape stairs and walked upstairs, led by Zhou Peiru.

After entering the fire escape staircase, Lin Pangzi and I went first, followed by Zhou Peiru and Long Nier.

Fatty Lin walked very slowly, his eyes fixed on the compass. The first and second floors were normal, but after entering the corner of the stairs between the third and fourth floors, the needle suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Seeing this, Fatty Lin took a step back. Although the pointer trembled, it wasn't too violently.

After moving up one step, the pointer trembled violently again.

"Crazy man, Bagua mirror!" Fatty Lin exclaimed.

"Give!"

I handed over the Bagua mirror and took the compass.

Fatty Lin took the Bagua mirror, aimed it at the wall, first looked at the three layers behind him, and then slowly moved it upwards.

Under the illumination of the Bagua mirror, the previously normal wall surface showed obvious black spots and mold at the boundary between the third and fourth floors.

Fatty Lin thought for a moment, then took his compass and went down the stairs, scanning the ground as he went. He found nothing unusual, then walked back. When he reached the junction of the third and fourth floors, the mold and black aura reappeared.

"I remember now, this place was renovated before we moved in, but it seems that only the bottom three floors were renovated, and the upper floors were not!" Zhou Peiru suddenly said.

"Sister Ru, you mean the building was renovated, but only the bottom three floors were renovated, and the upper floors weren't?" Fatty Lin's expression shifted, as if he understood something.

"Yes!" Zhou Peiru nodded hurriedly.

"I understand!"

Fatty Lin glanced again at the wall, which showed mold and black aura under the Bagua mirror, and said with a smirk, "What a deep scheme! This is a severed earth vein!"

"A severed earth vein?" I asked.

"Um!"

Fatty Lin nodded and said, "After Da Li took over this place, he took the opportunity of renovation to deliberately renovate the first to third floors, but not the upper floors. This artificially created a division in the building, with one new and one old, which, when clashed, becomes a 'broken energy'!"

"If I'm not mistaken, they might have used ashes as a barrier!"

As he spoke, Fatty Lin pointed to the connection between the third and fourth floors.

If you look closely, the third and fourth layers are different colors.

On the surface, they are all white and there is no difference, but upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the first to third floors are obviously newer, while the fourth floor and above look somewhat old.

"You madman, give me the Yin-Yang coins!"

Fatty Lin stared at the connection for a while and then said.

"Give!"

I handed over the copper coins.

One is enough!

Fatty Lin took one, stood at the junction of the third and fourth floors, made a simple sword gesture, held the coin between his fingers, moved his lips slightly, recited a simple incantation, and tossed the coin upwards.

A moment later, the copper coin fell to the ground with a soft clinking sound and stood upright.

"It's standing firm again!"

Zhou Peiru exclaimed in surprise.

"Sister Ru, there's nothing to be surprised about!"

Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "The bottom is yang, and the top is yin. The combination of yin and yang is like air convection. The combined force of these two forces stabilizes the coin, allowing it to stand upright!"

Fatty Lin picked up the copper coin, tossed it casually, and threw it back into my hand.

I glanced at him without saying a word; this bastard was showing off again.

"Now we understand. When Da Li renovated, he severed the earth's energy vein of the entire building, artificially creating a 'severed earth energy vein'煞 (sha). The fourth煞 (sha) has appeared; now all that's missing is the fifth!"

Fatty Lin stood with his hands behind his back, looking every bit the righteous master.

"So, are you sure about the remaining fifth Fiend?" I glanced at Zhou Peiru, who was looking at him with admiration, and decided not to expose him but to play the role of the straight man, and asked.

"Um!"

Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Do you remember who was killed in the fox spirit murder case back then?"

"Baby!" I said.

"Fatty, you mean the vengeful spirit of an infant?"

After I finished speaking, I suddenly realized what I had said.

"That's right!"

Fatty Lin let out a breath and said, "Quite a few babies died back then, otherwise things wouldn't have escalated to such a huge extent."

"When those infants were lured away and their souls devoured by those seven fox spirits, the oldest was only one year old, and many were just a month old. How could they not harbor resentment?"

"It definitely exists!" I nodded, remembering what Long Nier had told me on the way here—that there was an amusement park on the rooftop of the Windsor Building. Could it be true?

"Now I understand how these Five Evils work!"

Fatty Lin sighed, as if he had just remembered something.
