low-key warlock

There is a high-end villa community near Zizhuyuan on the West Third Ring Road. There are lawns everywhere in the community, and the trees are already lush when the spring is warm.Wide roads and gravel paths are interspersed in the community, among which there are low mountains and strange rocks, the artificial lake is as flat as a mirror, and water pavilions on the lake. The single-family villas are like ancient buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, or modern style, or European style, just like gardens. The pavilions are nondescript but elegant and beautifully decorated in this vast community.

Just based on the land area and the elegant garden-like community environment, it is enough to imagine how expensive the villas in this community are.

Xiao Zhen, president of Tianmao Group in Yuzhou Province, bought a villa in the style of a courtyard with two entrances here last year.When he bought this villa at first, he had the idea of ​​investing, and secondly, he really liked the elegant environment and unique architectural style here. He thought that he would come to the capital often in the future, and there is such an elegant house, which is convenient for welcoming and sending off. To socialize.Also, give away if necessary.

The interior of the courtyard is completely decorated according to the style of the old mansion in the old capital. It is unassuming and luxurious, but thick and simple, revealing a strong cultural and historical heritage.

Xiao Zhen's cousin, Xiao Panan, has lived here for almost two months.

In his political career for most of his life, this old man, who has worked in two provinces and four cities and then entered the political center of the capital, has experienced too many storms and waves.After a long career, he is extremely cautious in his dealings with others. It cannot be said that he has no mistakes in the officialdom, but he has left enough behind in everything.In the three years after entering Beijing, the initial stage was relatively smooth, and it was expected to be improved to a higher level.

Thinking about it carefully, the failures in the officialdom in the past three years seem to be entirely due to lack of luck, and they have been memorized to the extreme.

This evening.

A black Audi a6 slowly drove up to the gate of the courtyard. Wearing a black suit, Xiao Quanquan got out of the car with a tired expression on his face. After a few words with the secretary, he let him leave with the car and walked alone. Entered the courtyard.

Since he moved into this courtyard house, he has only hired a nanny, Xiao Liu, to live with him, and none of his family members have come with him, because Xiao Quanquan just wants to be alone quietly after get off work every day or on weekends. For a while, think about more things.

Walking through the atrium to the backyard, Xiao Liu, the nanny, came out from the west wing and said respectfully, "Director Xiao, Mr. Shi is waiting for you in the living room."

"Oh." Xiao Quanquan responded, and walked towards the main hall.

The nanny asked again, "What's for dinner?"

"Let's talk about it later." Xiao Quanquan waved his hands gently.

In the living room of the main hall, Shi Linhuan, who was wearing a light-colored Tang suit, was sitting upright beside the dark brown wooden table, sipping the hot tea he brewed himself without the help of a nanny in a peaceful manner.Seeing Xiao Quanquan enter the room, Shi Linhuan stood up with a smile and said, "Director Xiao is back, sit down quickly, the tea has just been brewed."

Xiao Quanquan sat down at the coffee table, stretched out his hand slightly and said politely, "Mr. Shi has been waiting for a long time."

"Director Xiao, you're welcome."

"How is the Feng Shui of this courtyard house?"

"Excellent."

"Then I live here, can I change my luck?" Xiao Quanjing asked straightforwardly.In the past, he would never have said these things to a charlatan who was engaged in geomantic omen and physiognomy. To be more precise, the two parties would not even be able to sit together—what is Xiao Quanquan's identity?What is Shi Linhuan?He is not a person on the same level at all, how can Shi Linhuan have the right to sit and drink tea and talk with Xiao Quanquan on an equal footing, and even pose as a master?

Shi Linhuan sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "I have told you frankly before that, Director Xiao, your luck should not be directly related to the feng shui of your residence or workplace, but rather the damage of evil spirits. Your luck is extremely low. Neither Feng Shui nor Yin Yang and Five Elements can change your luck immediately, and it is even more difficult to make your career rise smoothly from the bottom. Today, Mr. Xiao and I went to your house to check , I also went to the vicinity of your work place to confirm that Feng Shui is not hindered, and there will be no evil spirits. So I can be sure that the evil spirits on your body are caused by magicians, or you have been to a special place. place, thus contaminated with evil spirits."

Xiao Quanquan frowned and said, "According to what you warlocks said, evil things should not be able to harm me."

"Yes." Shi Linhuan nodded, not at all nervous because of Xiao Quanquan's dissatisfied attitude and tone, and said calmly: "Or you can think about it, when your luck is extremely low, have you ever prayed to gods or worshiped temples? "

"It's a joke!" Xiao Quanquan said arrogantly and coldly.

"Then there are only the first two possibilities. Think back."

Xiao Quanquan took the soft Zhonghua from under the coffee table, took out one and lit it, and said lightly, "You told Xiaozhen that my luck can be changed, why don't you say that to me now?"

"Luck can be changed, but you can only absorb Yin and transform evil so that your luck will not continue to fall."

"Mr. Shi should not tell me this kind of quack talk." Xiao Quanquan's expression flashed with contempt, and he said, "Just tell me how much it costs."

Shi Linhuan could naturally see what Xiao Quanquan was thinking, but he didn't care at all. He shook his head with a smile, and said calmly: "This matter is not about money. Director Xiao is in a high position and holds great power. The families in Yuzhou Province are very powerful, so naturally they don’t like us warlocks who are called charlatans by ordinary people, but..." Shi Linhuan took a sip of tea lightly, and said: "Since Director Xiao entered the officialdom, dozens of Although the past few years have not been smooth sailing, but there has been no danger so far. As the saying goes, the heights are unbearably cold. After entering the central area, although Director Xiao's official position has been promoted, the pressure has also increased. After a few times of trouble, I thought of relying on the help of the gods and spirits, and to put it in a common saying, this is also a rush to the doctor, right?"

Xiao Quanquan raised his thick eyebrows, but he narrowed his eyes and stared at Shi Linhuan without saying a word.

Shi Linhuan didn't care about the taboo he said just now, he smiled and continued: "It's easy to ask God to send God away, Director Xiao would never have thought that it was just a small random move for peace of mind, which would actually cause his own harm." It's getting tougher."

"What move?" Xiao Quanquan asked in a deep voice.

"Worship God!" Shi Linhuan's tone was flat, his expression was calm but extremely firm.

Xiao Quanquan was silent.

Shi Linhuan was not in a hurry to speak, he poured himself a cup of tea in a leisurely manner, and then poured a cup of tea for Xiao Quanquan and gently pushed it over.

The room is quiet, you can hear the sound of needles dropping.

After a while, Xiao Quanquan finally showed sincere respect and said, "Why?"

"Director Xiao has been an official for many years, so he naturally has a noble and upright spirit of the official family, and ghosts and gods do not invade." Shi Linhuan did not take the opportunity to play tricks, saying: "Unfortunately, righteousness and evil are like yin and yang, which can be mixed and contradicted. Director Xiao is not in the mood Ning, I don't believe in myself, I don't believe in the majesty of officials, but I believe in this illusory god. Naturally, the evil spirit has an opportunity to take advantage of it and hide it in the body. Not in harmony, and because Director Xiao's restless state of mind captured Director Xiao's luck and mind, so Director Xiao's own luck will naturally drop again and again."

"Mr. Shi is really a master!" Xiao Quanquan sighed, raised his hand and groped the sparse hair on his head a few times, his demeanor, which was already old because of all the troubles and upset, became more decadent and frustrated.

Two years ago, he first encountered a dispute in the officialdom, and he was under a lot of pressure. When he was upset, he thought that he was bumping into walls everywhere, and the problem was almost impossible to solve, so he went alone to travel in the scenic spot in the mountains of Huairou County, the capital. The small withered temple, with the idea of ​​going to the doctor in a hurry, entered the temple to worship sincerely, praying for the gods in the dark to help him avoid the disaster in the officialdom.

In fact, he had this idea long ago, but it was not convenient to go to a big temple to pray and worship because of his identity, but this kind of small temple didn't have many tourists, so he wouldn't be known by people, so he went in to worship.Unexpectedly, after going back, things turned around, allowing him to avoid that disaster.At that time, he was still wondering whether there was really a god helping him in the dark, and he was very fortunate in his heart.However, after that, his luck began to drop continuously, everything went wrong, he was gradually squeezed out and marginalized within the department, and even voices against him began to appear in the place where he used to be an official.

Seeing Xiao Quanquan's exhausted, helpless and frustrated expression, Shi Linhuan smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry too much, Director Xiao. This time, there is another expert to help. As long as you can calm down, it will not be difficult to start well and finish well in the officialdom."

"Another expert?" Xiao Quanquan was taken aback.

"Yes." Shi Linhuan nodded.

"who?"

"It's just a quack warlock." Shi Linhuan put down his teacup, and said calmly, "Director Xiao doesn't need to know who it is. People who live in temples are naturally not easy for quack warlocks to contact."

Xiao Quanquan stopped asking about the identity of the expert, and instead said: "I used to think that if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and I never thought that the small temple would be yin and shady. No wonder the temple would be deserted and there would be no incense. If I had known this, I would Just find a master like Mr. Shi to relieve your worries, or go to a larger Taoist temple or temple to pray for incense."

"You can't go to incense."

"why?"

"The two are incompatible. Don't say that there is no real god. Even if there is one, they can't bear the worship of an official, especially a high-ranking official like Director Xiao. Not only will it not change luck, but it will lead to disaster. You need to know everything in the world. Rigidity is easy to break." Shi Linhuan said frankly, but he still had some things to say, and it was still inconvenient for him to be honest with Xiao Quanquan.For example, when Xiao Quanquan went to a small temple to worship the gods to pray for better luck, and he was contaminated with evil things, it was more likely that it was not a coincidence, but a warlock who planned to dig a hole for Xiao Quanquan early on.

Xiao Quanquan sighed with a wry smile.He didn't even bother to pay attention to these nagging words before.But now he had to believe and regret.

While speaking, footsteps came from outside.

Xiao Zhen in a suit and leather shoes strode in, greeted Xiao Quanquan first, then sat on the sofa and took out two bladders, one black and one white, from his pocket and handed them to Shi Linhuan, saying: "Mr. Shi, this is Su Chunfeng. The two ebony core ball bladders made last night are really amazing, please help to have a look."

Shi Linhuan took the two bladders, looked at them peacefully, and said, "Mr. Xiao, did you take these two bladders for medical evaluation?"

Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "I don't worry, so I went for an appraisal."

"It's understandable." After Shi Linhuan finished speaking, his expression showed surprise. He didn't say anything more, but seriously looked at the two smooth and fat-like bladders, one black and one white.
