The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 385 Koi (Update)
Cornucopias, as home feng shui ornaments that "attract wealth" and "grow wealth", are actually very common in Daxia. Like "golden toads", "lucky cats" and other items, they are loved by many businesses.

It is said that this thing has existed since ancient times. After thousands of years, it has become a symbol of some kind. In this world where extraordinary power appears, it can indeed play a certain role.

But because there are so many people using it, if it is spread out, the effect will be just that, and it will not really affect the big "luck" direction.

However, this is not the point. The point is that among Xingcha's missing accessories listed in the "Jade Book", there is nothing similar to the "cornucopia" style.

Although Zhao Chen was a little surprised, he did not think that Qi Feimeng had made a mistake. After all, the "Xingcha Accessories" had been left for many years and had been recast by an expert. It was not impossible that the style had been changed.

Especially some of them have no fixed shapes and specifications.

"According to my investigation, the Gong family is not local to Guangnan County... They were originally just the leaders of a small gang who relied on contracting projects and building various buildings.

"But after helping a village in Guangnan County build a 'bluestone pagoda' to ward off evil spirits, I suddenly bought land in this village, became a naturalized citizen, and built this big house today.

"This almost consumed all the Gong family's savings at that time." After entering the mansion, Qi Feimeng led the way and recounted the information she knew.

In other words, the Gong family was originally a contractor at a construction site?In addition, buildings like bluestone towers have no practical effect. At most, they just make people feel at ease and stop them from thinking wildly.

but……

"Since the villagers want to build an expensive bluestone tower, it means that there may be some problems in the village at that time, but the problem is not obvious, and the people from the Taoist Office did not find anything abnormal?" Zhao Chen speculated.

"That's right..." Qi Feimeng nodded casually and continued, "I went into the county office and took a peek at the county annals. According to the records in it, this Jinli Village had poor harvests for ten consecutive years, and the catch was pitiful. .

"But other nearby villages were very normal during those ten years...

"The Taoist Office sent the 'Evil Killer' to investigate the cause, but found nothing. They could only conclude that the feng shui of Jinli Village may be bad.

"That's why the big family in Jinli Village paid for the construction of the 'bluestone tower'."

"What happened next? Has the fortune of Jinli Village improved?" Zhao Chen asked.

Qi Feimeng shook his head and said: "After the bluestone tower was built, it had no effect at the time... Jinli Village's 'good luck' turned around after the Gong family settled here and built the current mansion.

“According to county records, the first year the Gong family settled down, Jinli Village ushered in a bumper harvest. After that, whatever cash crops were grown in the village that year would become best-sellers.

“And the Gong family’s various investments have never failed. From the edge of bankruptcy, they have become one of the richest people in Guangnan County.

"But compared with the real wealthy families in the county, the Gong family's background is still too poor."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen sighed and said: "The Gong family has risen too fast and lacks the force to deter them, so they will naturally be coveted by others... If they were pure businessmen, they would still have the protection of the government.

“But the Gong family is from a gang, so there should be True Qi monks in the family, right?

"In this way, the government will not easily intervene in the fights between practitioners...just like when several martial arts schools and escort agencies competed with us for 'business routes', they will be resolved according to the rules of the world."

Having said this, Zhao Chen paused and then asked doubtfully, "But even so, it won't bring disaster to the whole family. How could the Gong family end up like this?"

Qi Feimeng pointed to the surrounding mansions that were shabby but still somewhat luxurious, and said with a smile: "Everything has a price...and the same goes for good luck!
"When your fortune turns bad, it's not surprising to encounter a wealthy and unscrupulous bully who is unscrupulous and unscrupulous."

Misfortune lies where good fortune lies, and good fortune lies where misfortune lies... Zhao Chen sighed secretly, and then looked at the dilapidated houses around him, as well as the even more desolate abandoned villages outside the house, wondering in his heart about the original nature of the so-called "treasure basin" There are some guesses about the appearance. "Even if your little black cat takes over the identity of the two daughters of the Gong family and avenges them, it will not be able to reverse the increasingly declining fate of Jinli Village... The villagers persisted at first, but after two years of no harvest, they Completely desperate, they left here one after another.

"Later, the Taoist Office sent people to investigate again, but unfortunately nothing was found. They finally believed that the Gong family held a ceremony to gather wealth with the help of a certain treasure, but the ceremony backfired.

"And that treasure may have been taken away...

"But in fact, it was always there, no one noticed it."

When Qi Feimeng was talking, she had already led Zhao Chen into the master bedroom in the backyard. This was the place where she had retreated to break through the Nine Apertures and escape from the pursuit of the "Yins" - the tunnel opening opened with a mechanism was still there. wide open.

"No one found out... Is it hidden secretly, or can only specific people or methods find it out?" Zhao Chen asked thoughtfully.

He prefers the latter, and that thing must be difficult to move, otherwise the people from the Taoist Office would not find it, and there was no need for the Gong family to build a house here in the first place.

"I guess it's a specific person..." Qi Feimeng said with a smile, "After all, I only vaguely sensed the aura of the 'Star God' through the 'Portrait of Bodhisattva', and it is unlikely that the Gong family has something of this level. "

If it were true, it would not be easily exterminated.

"In other words, the source of the Gong family's bloodline is related to the 'Star God'..." Zhao Chen was not too surprised by this. After all, the little black cat is an alternative "incarnation" made by the "Spirit of Tianhe Paradise". The fact that he landed near the two dead Gong sisters already explained the problem.

It's even possible that the owner of the "Spirit of the Blessed Land of Tianhe", the "True Lord of the Galaxy", has a surname of Gong.

As his thoughts were spinning, Zhao Chen had already followed Qi Feimeng into the tunnel.

Since the traps here had been cleaned up by the people from the "Yin Division" last time, the two walked smoothly. After about four or five minutes, they came to a fork in the road where the sound of water flowing could be heard.

"The Gong family discovered the so-called 'treasure basin' when they were building a tower on the river bank, so that thing is nearby. Come with me." After saying that, Qi Feimeng took Zhao Chen and turned left and entered a viewing room. It looks like a warehouse cave.

It's just that the things inside have been emptied out, leaving only a few broken boxes and an inconspicuous stone platform in the corner.

The stone platform was in the shape of a basin, with a hemispherical depression on the surface. From a distance, it looked like a clay wash basin, completely inconspicuous.

But when Zhao Chen got closer, a magical scene appeared in his eyes. He saw the sparkling water in the basin, glowing with golden light as if the sun was shining in.

Several koi carps are swimming in this basin, with graceful postures, like butterflies jumping in the water.

Their bodies are colorful, either golden, bright red, or pure white. The various colors are intertwined together. Against the backdrop of the golden waves, they look like a beautiful painting that makes people unable to take their eyes away at first sight.

Just when Zhao Chen was lost in thought, Qi Feimeng's voice came to his ears:

"But what did you find?"
