Chapter 194: Shanghai Life World (Part 2)
Chapter 194: The Life Realm of Shanghai (Part 2)
Shanghai is definitely a Feng Shui treasure land in the eyes of the lower nine-level sects. Almost all the outer halls of the lower nine-level sects have a certain territory here. Among them, the most powerful ones are naturally the Hun, Prostitution and Wen Sanmen. Hu Yueniang's prostitution has gradually annexed the Hunmen, so her power is naturally no problem. However, the three Wen Sans know the destiny, man-made disasters and state affairs. Although there are more or less official and powerful backgrounds behind it, they are in a mess and cannot compete with Hu Yueniang at all. Fortunately, the three Wen Sans and Hu Yueniang have not had much conflict with the power of Hu Yueniang, and some places are still in harmony. Hu Yueniang just asked the three Wen Sans to continue to survive under their noses and did not take any action to suppress them.
Among the three sects of Wenmen, Zhitian Destiny is the most lowly. Most of the other two sects are staff members of powerful tycoons, while most of the sects who know Tiantian Destiny are just fortune tellers who set up street stalls to fool the common people. There are very few people who can make a name for themselves in this industry. Zhitian Destiny's territory is mainly Dragon King Temple. Every morning, you can see many fortune tellers line up on both sides of the road of Dragon King Temple to explain the divination and explain the matter for those believers who burn incense. When they are good, they rent a storefront near Dragon King Temple. There are fixed guests coming to ask about things every day. Although there are many customers here, there are many monks and few porridges when they are divided, so the fate masters often break up each other, so most of the fate masters who can gain a foothold here have a versatile mind.
Before going into seclusion, Xu Changqing ordered the Huang brothers and sisters to do one of the homework, which was to set up stalls here and tell fortunes for others to exercise their secular experience and experience. In fact, Xu Changqing had to do this. Time was extremely valuable to him, so he could only use continuous practice and accumulated experience to speed up the homework of the Huang brothers and sisters. Fortunately, when the Huang brothers and sisters were controlled by the Beggar Sect, they had a lot of experience in the world rolling around, so they were able to quickly get into the role, and without the help of the Chen family and Xinglong, they had more than one month of foothold in the Dragon King Temple.
All the masters of the Yi Manors of all dynasties were arrogant, and Xu Changqing was no exception. However, the basis of this arrogance was that they all had extraordinary cultivation without relying on anyone. However, the Huang brothers and sisters who wanted to gain a foothold in the Chen family could not be the same as those of the Yi Manors of the Yi Manors in the past, because their cultivation level did not or would not be able to reach the height of the Yi Manors of all dynasties in the future, so the secular skills such as observing words and expressions were arranged by Xu Changqing to the work of the brother and sister.
After Xu Changqing arrived at the Dragon King Temple, he did not show up. Instead, he stood at a corner of the street and quietly looked at the stalls of the Huang brothers and sisters for a while.
At this moment, Huang Juan was telling fortunes to a woman. The talisman stall in Huangshan also surrounded many pilgrims. It seemed that the business was very good. Although the fortune tellers around him looked over, no one dared to go forward to make trouble. He saw a wooden sign hanging on the cloth banners at the stalls of the brother and sister, and there was a pattern of Tai Chi in the palm of his palm. This was the symbol of the blind school in the Wenmen Zhitian Destiny. It seemed that the Huang brother and sister had found a good protection network.
"Old grandma, your son will come back tomorrow. After returning, don't let him leave the boat again within a month. This month he is in trouble, and he may have a ship disaster. Let him stay on the shore as much as possible." Huang Juan slowly explained the hexagram for the guests in front of him, and then took a talisman from Huangshan and handed it to the old lady in front of him, saying, "Press this talisman at the door of the bedroom to ward off evil spirits and drive away disasters. The two copper corners of the hexagram gold are provided, and the Taoist talisman is provided."
Seeing that the Huang brothers and sisters were already very skillful in dealing with others, Xu Changqing nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left, and headed for the real destination of this trip.
The day after Xu Changqing left the seclusion, Chen Zhenshan, who received the news, sent someone to send information about Lu Yizheng. Lu Yizheng's original name was You Bin, and his ancestral home was in the capital. He went to Luoyang with his father when he was young. When he became an adult, he took the imperial examination and passed the title of scholar. Later, his father suddenly passed away. He stopped taking the scientific examination, but instead studied fate. In the following years, because his plum blossom Yi was extremely accurate, he gradually became famous in Luoyang and changed his name to Lu Yizheng.
Later, he was funded by a local wealthy businessman and came to Shanghai to open a life hall. The wealthy businessman committed suicide in the second year, and his property was left to Lu Yizheng with an abnormality. Although the children of the wealthy businessman had sued Lu Yizheng to the yamen, he was very clear in the hesitation and written in black and white. Lu Yizheng also made some decisions, but it was finally settled. With the legacy of the wealthy businessman, Lu Yizheng established an unofficial life institution, the Chinese life institution, in Shanghai, and gradually grew stronger and became a life in power independent of the Wenmen in Shanghai.
Lu Yizheng's entrepreneurial history was not what Xu Changqing paid attention to. Although the Chinese Association of Fate Masters was very powerful, in Xu Changqing's eyes, it was just a slight effort to destroy it. There was only one thing that Xu Changqing really saw in all the information, that is, when Lu Yizheng's father was in the capital, he worked as a prisoner in the Ministry of Justice prison for a period of time, and his life as a prisoner was exactly the day when Lu Mingyang was detained. In the second year after Lu Mingyang was beheaded, he gave up the position of prisoner, which had a relatively good income, left the capital with his son, and ran to Luoyang, thousands of miles away, and made a living by selling snacks in the capital.
Xu Changqing is almost certain that the three-finger immortal Lu Mingyang told Lu Yizheng's father the burial place of his unique skills before his death, and Lu Yizheng's father also left the capital and went to Luoyang. At the same time, Xu Changqing could also infer from Lu Yizheng's sudden transformation that Lu Yizheng's father endured for more than ten years in order to avoid someone surveillance of the Lu family's abandoned house. In the end, after he felt that he had nothing to do before his death, he revealed the secret in his heart to his son, which made Lu Yizheng have other thoughts.
Lu Yizheng's life museum is very easy to find. It is just at the intersection of the Longwang Temple. The largest and most luxurious one on this street belongs to him. At his door, there is no mysterious couplet hanging like other stores, but a big sign with the Chinese Life Masters Association is nailed, which looks particularly solemn and grand.
