I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 595 The Imperial Seal
When renovating an old house like No. 95 Courtyard, one must first understand the overall layout, and then look all the way from the gate to the main house.

The old craftsman spent a day getting to know the surrounding situation and then hand-drew a panoramic map.

He handed the map to Song Wu: "Did you see it? At that time, this small half of the alley was a house. It was located at this intersection, with excellent exit and feng shui. However, it seems that the exit was changed a little later. How to put it simply, the energy is blocked. All the energy is blocked. I didn't know why it was changed like this, and I thought someone had some bad intentions towards the owner of this house. But later I found this thing. Come with me."

The old craftsman led Song Wu into the main house of Sha Zhu and his family. As soon as they entered the house, he pointed at the beam above and said to Song Wu: "There is something placed in the middle of the top beam. I can't tell whether it is just a random move or with ulterior motives. So, don't touch it. You must take it down. It is only appropriate for the master to move it."

Song Wu was a little nervous. He asked, "Is it someone who is setting up a trap to harm people?"

The old craftsman shook his head and smiled: "In fact, the so-called Feng Shui is not that weird. Anyone with a little sensitivity can feel whether it is comfortable or not. You know it yourself. These three main rooms will not harm anyone, but will make anyone who lives in them feel comfortable. I don't think they have any bad intentions, they are just nurturing the things on the beams. In other words, it's all for the things on the beams. Go and take them down. I'll go out first."

These old craftsmen are very particular about what they do and know when to avoid it. Generally, they don't get involved in things like this where the owner may have secrets.

Song Wu looked at the ladder that had been placed in place, thought about it, and simply climbed up the ladder. To be honest, he was very surprised now. Because his perception was not able to see the things on the beam, this was the first time he encountered it.

What this means is that there is clearly something on the beam, but he couldn't find it when he probed. This is really magical.

If the old craftsman had not pointed out the thing on the beam to him today, he would have happened to look up and seen it. To be honest, he would not have been able to discover it by perception alone.

Song Wu climbed up the ladder and stood at the top. With his height, he could see things on the beam.

The design is very clever. It is equivalent to embedding this thing halfway into the beam, or it can be said that a concave square gap is dug in the beam to fit this thing in. There is nothing else around it, or any pattern, it is simple, as if this thing was originally on the beam.

Now that he was closer, he could see clearly that it was a square wooden box. Song Wu simply stretched out his hand to try to lift it, and it turned out to be very easy. He pulled the box out from the beam where it was embedded.

Isn't that strange? When the box was taken out from the beam and in Song Wu's hands, he was able to sense it again.

It's like a stealth F22 turning into an F16 and suddenly being spotted and reappearing on radar.

Hmm? Now Song Wu could clearly feel that there was a square seal inside the wooden box. It was very large and carved with a dragon shape.

He thought about it and didn't even get down the ladder. He opened the wooden box directly on the ladder.

He looked at this jade object that looked like a seal with extraordinary momentum. He felt a little nervous and excited, and he could always feel that this thing was extraordinary.

When he held the dragon-shaped seal handle and turned the seal over, the eight characters on it startled him. He was stunned for a moment, and without hesitation, he put the seal back into the box and took it back into the space.

When he walked out of the house again, the old craftsman smiled and said to Song Wu: "When you took the things away just now, I felt it very obvious that the energy was originally gathered at that point, but now it has dispersed all of a sudden. The whole yard is full of vitality again. Now we can renovate it. I believe this yard will be very beautiful in the future." These so-called old craftsmen, the first thing in their skills is to understand Feng Shui, otherwise they can't do their job.

Song Wu smiled and waved his hand at the old craftsman, saying, "Just do as we agreed. When the yards next to it are all taken back, you can connect them into an overall design. Now do it here first, leaving space and leeway on both sides. You guys get busy. I'm leaving first."

Song Wu left in a hurry. He came out of the middle courtyard and went straight back to the small courtyard in front. He entered two small houses, closed the doors, and then impatiently took out the seal from the space.

He held it in his hand and played with it carefully. This thing was quite large, and it was an old item that he didn't know how many years old it was, but it was still as smooth as new, shining brightly. It contained an endless breath of life.

Just because of the eight characters printed on it, as well as its specifications and form, Song Wu was able to determine that this might be the imperial seal that was lost in the previous dynasty.

At that time, the expressions of the people who were concerned were very disappointed. It was because of the objective environment at that time that people could not investigate carefully. Who knows whether what he said is true or false, anyway, he said it was lost, and you can only take it as if he really lost it for the time being.

Anyway, since he left the palace, the imperial seal has never appeared again.

"But how did he appear on the beam of the silly pillar's house?"

He was not sure whether the one in his hand was a fake or real one. However, it felt like the real thing, but he did not understand it and was not sure.

Now the problem arises again. He always feels that embedding this thing into the beam and placing it in that position is not simply for storage and concealment, but just as the old craftsman said, it is like nurturing it.

As soon as this thing was taken down from the beam, the old craftsman said that the gathered aura dissipated.

Although Song Wu couldn't figure out why they did this, he thought about the deaf old lady and the Japanese's recent anxiety. It was probably related to the Japanese, and maybe the deaf old lady and her friends put it there.

"Recently, the Japanese have been hanging around this house. It's obvious that they are not here to divide the property, but most likely for this seal. Although I'm not sure it's the real imperial seal, at least it's a little important to the Japanese."

But the problem is, the house has been empty for such a long time, if he really wanted this thing, he should have taken some action, such as sending someone to come over at night to steal the thing. But apart from trying every possible way to get the house, no one came to take the seal.

What's going on? Does the printing have nothing to do with them? Are they really buying houses just for the real estate value, or the sentimentality of childhood memories?

Song Wu thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. He could only think back to the deaf old lady's behavior. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it had something to do with this thing.
