Innate Feng Shui Eyes (2)
Don't tell me the reason those siblings could experience such wealth and honor was because their forefather was laid to rest in a good burial ground?
She stared at the grave.
Suddenly, from the sun light upon the the grave, she discovered two colors of mist in black and white. The white mist was very bright, the black mist was very dense, and the grave between was like the boundary separating the two. The surroundings also had quite a bit of black mist, all amassing towards it. And that grave was like a demon's stretched mouth gulping up the mist while the surroundings continues to supply it nonstop.
She thought of the two yin-yang elements mentioned in the theories of feng shui.
Yang. For the living, they must be at a place with sufficient yang essence to gain fortune. While with yin, a place where yin converges must be chosen, where it contains the wind and gathers the essence, to nourish the essence of the dead. Thus, it would continuously extend good fortune to their later generations. (1)
The white mist should be yang essence and the black should be yin essence.
And this grave just happened to be situated in the divide between yin-yang, a spot that where yin essence converges while being near yang essence. Because of this, it's able to achieve a favorable state of yin-yang balance. The base is truly an auspicious grave site.
Staring for a while, she felt a slight dizziness appear again and she quickly blinked a bit.
Those layers of thick mist disappeared and her present view was now only the grave as before.
"Master, how do you tell apart the yin-yang essence? By sight?" Yang ZiMei couldn't bear but asked YuQing.
YuQing stroked his white beard as he smiled, "Master doesn't have yin-yang eyes so cannot see the essences."
"Then how do you know this grave could contain the wind and gathers the essence?"
"To make an inference according to the surrounding geographical conditions and natural instincts."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Yang ZiMei didn't want to tell her master that she was able to see the two yin-yang essences just a moment ago. She continued to ask, "Can the actions of man ruin the feng shui?"
Hearing her question, Priest YuQing's expression stilled, and told her in serious tone, "From time immemorial, for the unprincipled man who would ruin burial feng shui. Besides harming their primordial qi, it is the worst deed towards the dead, it would cause their deceased to be unable to rest in peace and hardship to the living. Unless, the descendants are villainous wicked people.
Yang ZiMei then recalled the conducts of the village head and his siblings.
The village head, Yang DeMing is the village tyrant, bullying the weak and small, grasping the livelihood of others in his hands. The **** matter with women has happened a number of times. Whenever the village had even a slightly attractive newlywed wife arriving, he would declare his right to the other's first night. And because of his formidable background, everyone could only feel indignant but dare not speak. (2)
Then there's his Municipal Committee Secretary brother, Yang DeJie, who was well-known in A city because of his excessive greed. He gained the nicknamed excavator that digs three feet who's made A city a tremendous mess and lack of order. Sure, once in a while there'd be a government inspection done but any negativities always get overturned. Nobody has been able to topple him so he continues to abuse his power. (3)
As for the second brother, because he's in the Provincial Party Committee, Yang ZiMei didn't know much about him. For the entrepreneur third brother, Yang DeQing, he in business collusions with the oldest Yang DeJie. They monopolized A city's real estate, finance, utilities, entertainment, and restaurant industry for quite some many foul deeds which left the city's residents suffering unspeakably. For such a person, afterwards was actually recognized as some kind of nationwide outstanding youth and philanthropist family.
Pah-tooey! (4)
Thinking about all the actions of those four brothers, Yang ZiMei couldn't help but wanted to maliciously spew out a glob of spit.
Whether it's public or personal enmity, she has to quickly ruin their feng shui so that the village head can early on meet with a mishap and she could protect her own family.
1. So… I've been checking out a bit on essence vs qi since some words can be translated as either. Depending on the source, either are used but there's a separation when it relates with yin-yang in the body (function and medicine wise). Mainly essence pertains to yin more and qi for yang (goes into liquids etc). Meaning, when essence is mentioned in the surroundings, it's the good-old energy kind. Just making a future ref atm and I'm going to adjust ki to qi. You can read more about that stuff at this link
2. So… droit de seigneur? Yup, he's gonna die.
3. Idiom, I couldn't find an exact match but thinking it means he's so greedy, he'd dig into the ground to search.
4. Spit in contempt. Expression not literally, although that can happen too.
