Xiao Juju patted his chest, finally reassured that he didn’t have to be afraid of ghosts coming for his precious life.
When his parents heard An Rugu’s words, they looked at each other—it was inevitable that their hearts would also be moved. The master said that the feng shui here was so excellent, they suddenly felt that the cemetery they fancied in the city was no longer good in comparison!
An Rugu recalled her thoughts, and thinking about sending the Buddha to the west1, she also instructed Xiao Juju on the rituals of worship and the various matters needing attention when moving a grave.
Xiao Juju wrote it down one by one, feeling ever so grateful. “Master, I am troubling you too much, how much do you charge for all this?”
An Rugu thought about it, and feeling that she had indeed spent a lot of time helping the other party to read feng shui, so she didn’t refuse his offer and gave a moderate market price, “10,000 yuan.”
Xiao Juju was much surprised but also pleased. He thought An Rugu would charge at least 100,000 yuan, but he didn’t expect to only be charged 10,000 yuan! He felt that it was a good deal and immediately transferred the money over.
… …
That night, Xiao Juju was very curious about the ‘4-way water gathering’ array in the village cemetery, so he went to the village committee to find out more about the situation. Later, he called An Rugu to share his findings.
It turned out that the cemetery in this village was not developed by the government but by a wealthy businessman. According to the villagers, the wealthy businessman seemed to have been accompanied by a feng shui master at the time.
The people in the village didn’t really understand these matters, but the village committee was very happy to see the wealthy businessman give back to his hometown, so they just allowed the other party to do it.
The feng shui array has been built for ten years, but no one even knew what this feng shui array was, and it was estimated that there was a worry it might be coveted by outsiders.
Xiao Juju said, his tone carrying gratitude, “I know that rich businessman—he is famous as the first college student to come out of our village, he is the richest man in our city. I didn’t expect him to remember the people in the village, I heard that he also moved his family’s ancestral grave to the cemetery. What a kind person!”
An Rugu remained non-committal, but she didn’t think the other party had the cemetery built for the villagers.
The natural ‘4-way water gathering’ array occurred outside the village’s residential area, and it would be difficult for the wealthy businessman to enclose such a large tract of land. Even if such purchase for personal use was approved, it would have been difficult to keep it for generations to come. So instead, he pushed the boat with the current2 and convinced his hometown to build a cemetery in the area, then buried his family’s ancestors in the center of the ‘4-way water gathering’ array. Needless to say, there were benefits to doing this.
As for the villagers, they were just incidental beneficiaries.
But the rich businessman did not harm anyone, and he even benefitted the villagers. An Rugu didn’t want to say more, so she simply ignored the matter.
What caught her attention more was the feng shui master that Xiao Juju talked about.
An Rugu’s eyes flickered slightly. When her master was still alive, he occasionally mentioned the world of Daoism3 to her. Like her master, most practitioners of Daoism did not interact much with the secular world and practiced in a quiet place.
But there were also a small number of people who chose to go down the mountain to pick up jobs due to livelihood needs and other reasons.
Of course, those who have no real ability and deceive others were not Daoists at all.
She had grown up this old, and she had never seen another Daoist disciple other than her master, so she was inevitably a little curious.
Was she more powerful or was the mysterious Daoist stronger?

At this time, manager Liu of the HK guild of the Shark livestreaming platform was holding the medical examination report in his hand and was having a crisis of faith about the world as he knew it.
He actually had cirrhosis of the liver!
No wonder he’d been tired and having bouts of indigestion lately.
When the doctor read the results of his physical examination, he patted him on the shoulder, “The liver is one of the most hardworking organs in the body, but it can only work with a muffled voice. Once it gets sick, the symptoms are not particularly obvious. By the time the symptoms become obvious, it would generally be very difficult to treat at that point. “
Manager Liu couldn’t begin to imagine the consequences of his liver illness progressing unchecked, had he not gone to the hospital this time for a physical examination because of An Rugu’s advice.
The doctor was a little curious, “Isn’t today a working day? Why did you ask for leave to get a physical examination?”
Manager Liu was silent for a long time and said, “If I say that a fortune teller told me that I have liver problems, so I asked for leave for a medical checkup, would you believe me?”
Doctor:”???”
Manager Liu felt that this matter was more and more mysterious, and he became more cautious—he was simply not the same person as before.
After returning to the company, Manager Liu sighed under the puzzled eyes of the guild leader. “The seedling you asked me to dig just now, I can’t dig it anymore.”
The leader frowned. “Why can’t we dig? Are they looking down on our guild?”
Manager Liu sighed again and answered truthfully, “That streamer even figured out my liver cirrhosis—I feel that what she said is true. Say we take her money… what if we really receive a backlash?”
Guild leader: “?”
“Are you really OK?”
… …
Since rejecting the HK guild, the HK guild—quite out of character for them—did not pester An Rugu anymore.
An Rugu guessed that what she said to Manager Liu should have played a role in this matter.
This was also a good result, as she didn’t have to be bothered by private messages all the time.
… …
Since news of the Five Emperor Coins was released, many people have decided to buy the items at Cloud Rise Temple.
The first person who came to buy the Five Emperors Coin was someone An Rugu already knew: <Time Flows Swiftly Like Flowing Water> brought a woman to Cloud Rise Temple, and they each bought a set of Five Emperors Coins.
