Chapter 217 Feng Shui
The matter of the Iron Shoe Thief was resolved, and Hua Manlou took Bai Tang to the Lin family for treatment early the next morning.Lu Xiaofeng also joined in the fun with a trustworthy or disbelieving attitude towards Feng Shui.Along the way, Baitang took advantage of the break to study "Fengshui Beginner's Guide" and "Fengshui Beginner's Improvement", and finally reached the level of an intermediate Fengshui master before arriving at Lin's house.

The Lin family is located in a small town near Jinling. The town is by the Qinhuai River, and the transportation is convenient. It is a transit point for businessmen from the north and the south. Therefore, the economy is developed, and the life of the residents in the town is much better than other towns.The Lin family and another Zheng family are the only two big families in the town, but they have been feuding for generations. Either you steal my business or I secretly steal your clients. Sometimes the young people of the two families will fight each other when they meet.In this generation, Zheng Xuanhe, the head of the Zheng family, used to like Mrs. Lin, Miss Hua, but Miss Hua married his rival, Lin Zhuoyan, which made Zheng Xuanhe hate the Lin family even more.Zheng Xuanhe is insidious and narrow-minded, and his methods are more ruthless than his ancestors, and the battle with the Lin family has reached the point of endless death.The Lin family had a series of accidents recently, and the Zheng family took advantage of the opportunity to steal most of the Lin family's business.

Neither the Lin family nor the Zheng family lived in the town, but a manor on the outskirts.Linjiazhuang has a radius of nearly five miles, with red walls and green tiles, shaded by trees, forming an interesting contrast.There are two main buildings in the middle, sitting west and facing east, facing the rising sun, a red light shines on the roof ridge at the top, there is a dragon on the left of the roof ridge, and a flying fish on the right, looking at each other.The ridge of the roof first slopes down, then rolls up to the edge, and at the end is a situation of collecting water and gathering talents.

Baitang turned his gaze back to Huamanlou and said, "Looking at the layout of the villa, it's very decent. The person in charge of the construction must have invited a powerful Fengshui master to give advice. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be decadent."

Hua Manlou also read a few books about Feng Shui recently, looked carefully at the layout of the manor, nodded and said, "The house is fine, but is there something wrong with the private house?"

Baitang said: "Wait to stabilize cousin Ling's condition first, and then go to the Lin family's ancestral grave."

While speaking, the person guarding the gate had already seen four people.Everyone in the Lin family recognized Young Biao, Hua Manlou, and hurriedly welcomed them in.Before sitting down, a middle-aged man came out.I saw this person in his 40s, with a thin face and exhausted spirit, but with a peaceful demeanor and an elder demeanor.Baitang nodded secretly, this person is rich but not arrogant, his auspiciousness overflows his appearance, he is indeed a benevolent person.

"Uncle!" Hua Manlou quickly stood up and saluted the middle-aged man, Lin Zhuoyan, the head of the Lin family.

"Seven boys!" A rare smile appeared on Lin Zhuoyan's face, "You came to see Xuetao again? Who are these?"

"Uncle, they are my friends. This is Lu Xiaofeng."

"Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows? I've heard of you for a long time!" Lin Zhuoyan warmly greeted Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng has a good reputation in the world, and Lin Zhuoyan has a good impression of him.

"This brother is Karen, and she is Miss Bai's companion. Miss Baitang Bai is the one who cured my eyes. I invite her to give it to my cousin!"

"Master Bai!" Lin Zhuoyan was ecstatic.My son's illness has been visited by many doctors, but there is nothing to do. It was his nephew Hua Manlou who took a medicine to bring his son back from the brink of death.Now that the doctor from the pharmaceutical company came in person, Lin Zhuoyan was not excited. He believed that Baitang would be able to cure his son.

"I didn't expect Qitong to invite Dr. Bai to visit him in person. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality!" Lin Zhuoyan saluted Baitang and shouted, "Where's the tea? Hurry up and serve good tea to the guests!"

Baitang turned slightly to avoid Lin Zhuoyan's salute, and said: "Master Lin, there is no need to be too polite, we don't drink tea, take me to see Mr. Ling first!"

"Doctor Bai has worked hard all the way, please rest for a while. Quanzi can still hold on for a while."

Baitang shook his head: "Master Lin's kindness is appreciated, but I'm really not tired. On the contrary, the sooner the son's body is treated, the sooner he will recover!"

Lin Zhuoyan was very moved: "Mr. Lin admires Miracle Doctor Bai's benevolence and skill. This time Lin will lead Miracle Doctor Bai, please!"

Lu Xiaofeng was startled when she saw Mr. Lin's son. The person lying on the bed didn't look like a person, but looked like a skeleton covered in skin.Lin Xuetao's eyes were sunken, his face was black, and his lips were black. If his chest hadn't been heaving, anyone who saw him would have thought he was dead.

Bai Tang is not proficient in the technique of taking the pulse of traditional Chinese medicine, so she took out the diagnosis and treatment instrument she bought from the future world, it is very small, similar to a women's watch in modern society.Baitang put the diagnostic instrument on Lin Xuetao's wrist.

"Qitong, what did Miracle Doctor Bai wear for Xuetao?" Lin Zhuoyan didn't dare to disturb Baitang, so he asked Huamanlou in a low voice.

Hua Manlou whispered, "It's a tool used by Tangtang to help treat patients."

"Oh!" Lin Zhuoyan nodded, not knowing why.

The high technology of the future is convenience, and the diagnosis and treatment instrument will quickly check the patient's body and draw a conclusion.

"How is it? What disease did Xuetao suffer from? Can it be cured?" Seeing Baitang put away the medical device, Lin Zhuoyan asked quickly.

Bai Tang said: "Young master Lin is not sick, there is an evil energy in his body that keeps devouring his life force, that's why he became like this."

"Evil spirit? What evil spirit?" Lin Zhuoyan was shocked.

"Is it really the Fengshui Bureau?" Hua Manlou sighed, and told Lin Zhuoyan of Baitang's previous guess.

Lin Zhuoyan was frightened. Unlike people like Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng, he was just an ordinary rich man who was very convinced of Feng Shui metaphysics.

"Miracle Doctor Bai, please save my Lin family!" Lin Zhuoyan begged. He didn't expect that Bai Tang was not only a miraculous doctor but also proficient in Feng Shui metaphysics.

"Master Lin, don't worry, I'll go to your ancestral grave to investigate later!"

"It's already noon, let's go after lunch!" Hua Manlou suggested.

"Yes, yes, let's have lunch first! Shuangsi, go to the kitchen and order the chef to cook more delicious dishes for the distinguished guests!" Lin Zhuoyan called a maid to pass the message to the kitchen.

Baitang smiled, knowing the crux of the matter, it is really better to be anxious, she bought a "Zhengyang Pill" and stuffed it into Lin Xuetao's mouth.Zhengyang pill is not as good as Peiyuan pill in terms of nourishing the body, but it is rich in yang energy, which can neutralize the yin and cold energy in Lin Xuetao's body.

"Okay, I've fed Mr. Lin the right medicine, and he will wake up in half an hour. It's best to prepare some porridge for him." Bai Tang told his father and cousin the good news, who had been worried.

"Thank you, Miracle Doctor Bai!" Lin Zhuoyan was overjoyed that his son was saved.

The servants of the Lin family acted very quickly, and a table was filled with delicacies of all colors and flavors, all of which were very special Jinling dishes, including Jinling duck, Jinling fresh and Jinling grass: "Jinling Suozhi" by Chen Zuolin There is a record in the middle: "Ducks are not produced in Jinling. They are taken between Taibo and Gaoyou. There are hundreds of ducks and ducklings in flocks. They cross the river to the south, and they are used as livestock in the pond. It takes about ten days to be fat and edible. Kill it and remove its hair, and then cook it in various markets, which is called "Crystal Duck"; roast it with a fork until the skin is red but not burnt, it is called "Roasted Duck"; spread sauce on the skin, boil it to make the taste through, it is called "Sauce Duck" '; and it is not as good as 'salted duck', which is of the highest grade. It is light and purposeful, fat but not thick; it is salted in winter, and it is called salted duck for a long time. People from afar like to buy it as a gift. All ducks in the market, Except for 'Crystal Duck', all of them cut off their wing feet, probed their gizzard, and retailed their livers, which are called 'four pieces'".It can be seen that people in Jinling love to eat duck.The river shrimp dishes in Jinling cuisine are also very famous. Apart from the river fresh fish represented by the four famous fishes of the Yangtze River (shad, catfish, saury, and Spanish mackerel), Jinling chefs use shrimp to make various image dishes such as anchovies Shrimp, palace lantern jade, etc., especially good use of river prawns to make velvet mud, and dishes with different shapes and unique flavors are also a characteristic representative.Jinling grass refers to Artemisia annua, and fried Artemisia annua is one of the representatives.

Baitang hadn't eaten Jinling cuisine for a while, but now it tastes delicious.During this period, Lin Xuetao woke up, drank half a bowl of porridge, his face regained a little rosiness, and finally he didn't look like a dead person.After dinner, Lin Zhuoyan took the four of them up the mountain to check the Lin family's ancestral grave.

The ancestral tombs of the Lin family and the Zheng family are on the same mountain. It is said that the ancestors of the two families became enemies over the Feng Shui treasure cave in the mountain.The town is backed by Lingyan Mountain. This Lingyan Mountain is not Lingyan Mountain in Suzhou, but eighty miles away from Jinling City. It is the most famous Lingyan Zen Temple on the mountain. "There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, so many towers in the mist and rain", Du Mu's "Jiang Nanchun" is familiar to everyone. One of the highlights of Lingyan Mountain is Lingyan Zen Temple, one of the 480 temples.Lingyan Zen Temple has a long history, dating back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. There is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in the temple. Although it is over a thousand years old, its branches are lush and leafy, and there is no sense of the vicissitudes of thousands of years.Although there are traces of being struck by lightning on the top of the roots and the color is black, it does not affect its growth.The town is located on a branch of Lingyan Mountain called Xishan. The four of them climbed along the mountain road to the northern foot of Xishan.The so-called foothills refers to a flat land suddenly appearing on the mountainside, like the protruding horns on a stag's head, so it is called foothills.There is a large platform at the northern foot of Xishan Mountain. Standing on the platform and looking towards the mountain, you can see the peaks surrounding it. Looking down, you can see the river hugging the four mountains.

Baitang praised: "Sure enough, it is a place where energy and wealth are gathered, surrounded by mountains and surrounded by water. The mountains are the source of energy, and the water is the source of wealth. It is a dragon's lair of wealth and wealth. No wonder the two of you have been fighting for this place for generations. Become an enemy!"

Lin Zhuoyan nodded repeatedly, and led them towards the north direction.After walking for a while, I saw a huge tomb sitting on the platform. On the tombstone were written the words "Tomb of the ancestors of the Lin family".On both sides of the tombstone, there is a natural boulder protruding out of thin air, sitting on one side and sandwiching the tombstone on the right, standing tall, reaching the top of a person.The tomb of the ancestors of the Lin family happened to be located on a raised pumice stone on the platform.

Bai Tang secretly marveled, thinking: The pumice stones protruding from the platform are directly above the body of the fish, the two towering stones are the fish eyes, this is a carp dragon cave with a lifelike shape, whoever is buried in this cave, the descendants will be either rich or noble, Moreover, the carp gave birth to a lot of offspring. As the owner Ding Xingwang, the Lin family buried this good acupoint. Why is the bloodline so rare that it is almost extinct in this generation?
