As soon as the voice fell, the entire office was silent for a moment.All three were stunned.

——"Do you want to go to the palace?"

Is this a leak?The two of you are so reckless and unscrupulous to announce to the world that you broke into trouble in the palace?

Lin Jian really didn't know what to say, so he could only pretend to be stupid, pretending not to understand An Yuan and Lu Yang's panic and faltering, and tried his best to ignore the sudden language dysfunction of the two designers.In the end, facing the two sweaty faces that even he couldn't bear to look at, he could only pick up the teacup to see off the guests tactfully after much deliberation, and thus got an almost grateful "goodbye".

……

Looking at the hasty backs of the two as if they were being pardoned, Lin Jian thoughtfully pressed down the communicator.Half a minute later, Su Luo's handsome face appeared on the table—it happened to be facing the 3D model that Lu Yang forgot to take away on the floor.

After listening to the whole story, Su Luo was very strangely silent for a moment, with an unpredictable expression.After a while, he spoke, with a hint of hesitation in his deep and pleasant voice.

"This is the crown prince's private garden. I visited it once half a year ago. But it hadn't been rearranged at that time."

Lin Jianruo realized something: "So..."

Su Luo shook his head slightly: "I'm not very clear. The East Palace is now tightly guarded, and it is extremely difficult to leak the information inside. Half a month later, there will be a 'big banquet' for the royal family, and the crown prince must attend. If there is really something wrong with him , the royal family will try their best to block the disease."

The term "big banquet" of the royal family is very popular, even for non-indigenous people like Lin Jian who have traveled through time. The "big banquet" was originally one of the "nine rituals" for the royal family to reward meritorious officials. After the constitutional monarchy, the "big banquet" The meaning and form of the ceremony changed accordingly, and it became a ceremony for entertaining top elites from all walks of life once every five years, which can be called the highest honor of this era.

Since it is the highest honor, of course you can't make mistakes.It is understandable that Lu Yang and An Yuan are so nervous.

Lin Jian figured this out, and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder those two people are so furious, they even said something like inviting me to the palace. This is really a big disaster."

Su Luo didn't pick up his words. On the contrary, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was meditating silently.

Two seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of black and white eyes fixed on Lin Jian.

"If the crown prince had only a minor injury or illness, the two of them would never be so restless. Professor Lu is the vice president of the Royal Academy of Design, and has a very close relationship with the royal family, so it would never be hearsay." Su Luo said indifferently, " But if it is a serious illness, it is absolutely impossible to hide it so tightly——Su still has some status in the medical field. Most likely, it is a lingering illness that is neither bad nor bad. The illness itself is nothing serious, it just happens to be able to It made people delay the 'big banquet'—Lin Jian, is there anything wrong with Professor Lu's design?"

Lin Jian glanced at the stream, plants and trees on the floor, then turned her head and shrugged.

"Looking at it from a general perspective, it is a poor Fengshui bureau. I don't know about the small aspects. The winding paths in the garden are hidden, and there are so many disgusting Fengshui. How can I know it completely? If you want to find out one by one, you have to take a walk in the garden."

Su Luo nodded slightly, and moved his eyes to the 3D model in the flickering light.Unexpectedly, his voice became a little lighter.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that Professor Lu and Mr. An also have the same idea. The so-called suspicion breeds ghosts, as long as one design goes wrong, it is natural to suspect that there is something wrong with other designs."

"That's why you invited me into the palace?" Lin Jian blurted out, surprised in her heart: "Can he invite people into the palace just by him as a designer? And it's the prince's private garden?"

"That's right." Su Luo nodded, "It's best to take precautions before things get worse. But... But Lu Yang's words are indeed too reckless. Professor Lu is very trusted in the royal family, and the people around the prince Many cronies are also his close friends. If it is on weekdays, inviting you into the palace is just a matter of lifting a finger, and someone will give him convenience. But now that the crown prince is sick, the palace must be heavily guarded. The east palace is the focus of blockade, no matter how old he is. With his ability, it is absolutely impossible to just push you in like this. Even if he really wants to invite you into the palace, the decision-making power is not in his hands."

Su Luo stopped talking and stared at Lin Jian meaningfully.I don't know if it was his own delusion, but Lin Jian could vaguely feel...joy from this gaze?

joy?

What is Mr. Su happy about?

Su Luo didn't give him time to think carefully.He picked up the conversation after only two seconds.

"Of course, both Lu Yang and An Yuan have deep roots in the imperial palace, and they have a lot of friends. The two of them alone are naturally powerless, but their friends may not be... Now the secretary general of the Royal Study Room is Lu Yang's university. Classmate, it is said that the relationship between the two is quite close. He also happens to have the right to invite temporarily."

"Then...if Lu Yang really brought an invitation, would you accept it?"

His deep and dark eyes stared at Lin Jian without blinking.

Lin Jian hesitated a little.

If you want to be honest, then he should have never considered the "possibility of entering the palace"—maybe because of a certain stereotype in his previous life, Lin Jian has been intentionally or unintentionally ignoring the royal family in this world, and the status of the royal family And influence counts as nothing.Because of this, he is of course at a loss for words.

It seems to have been expected.Su Luo, who did not wait for an answer, continued naturally.

"I suggest you cooperate with the royal family."

Lin Jian nodded quickly: "Oh - yes, yes!"

Su Luo glanced at him.

"Don't you care about the reason?"

——If you care about it, I may not understand it.

"Then—what's the reason?"

"In terms of influence and credibility, the only thing comparable to the royal family is the central government. But the central government has a lot of constraints, and they must abide by—at least on the surface—the principle of not talking about ghosts and gods, and separating church and state. Su Luo withdrew his gaze, his expression was very indifferent, "The government may be able to cooperate with you in the field of anti-cult, but it will never put you in front of the stage, because they can't explain it. On the contrary, the royal family is much more free." According to the royal treatment agreement signed 73 years ago, they can decide to hire personnel independently without explaining to the outside world. The influence of the royal family in the upper class is unparalleled. It is a benchmark and a beacon to a certain extent. If you can really cooperate with the royal family, you The fame and resources that can be obtained will be incomparable, truly incomparable."

"So, do you accept cooperation?"

--------

In general, everything is as Su Luo expected.Only the second day after Lu Yang and An Yuan ran away, they came to the door again, and they brought a tall and fat man with a waist circumference of about two-thirds of his height, a strong man.

"This is my college classmate, Mr. Gao Daguan." Lu Yang introduced Lin Jian very attentively, "He has left the design circle now, but he is still very famous in the design circle. He Recently, I heard some—some opinions from Mr. Lin, and I am very interested, so I came to visit Mr. Lin.”

["The Secretary-General of Royal Affairs will never meet you with his real identity." Su Luo looked calm, "Now is the troubled time, and he will not add trouble anyway. Of course, he will not disguise himself. In general, he As long as you don’t reveal your identity. Even if something goes wrong, you can use your private identity to silence the media.] Lin Jian’s face was sullen and he didn’t smile. He reached out and shook the tall and fat gentleman. Then , He stared at the rosy Secretary General of Royal Affairs under the pseudonym Gao Daguan, and asked softly.

"What questions do you have?"

Gao Daguan hesitated for a moment, and then asked a question in a surprisingly gentle voice that didn't fit his figure at all.

"A few days ago, Professor Lu and I had a chat about 'feng shui'. Of course—ah, please forgive me, I didn't believe it at first. But we did a few little statistical tests and found that the Some—some things that seem to be coincidences are difficult to explain with real randomness, which makes me very confused. I want to ask, does 'feng shui' really have an impact?"

Lin Jian finally couldn't help laughing.He remembered the information that Su Luo gave him yesterday afternoon - the Royal Academy of Design mobilized two super AIs, which ran for three hours and cost hundreds of thousands.

A few "little" statistical tests?

Lin Jian happily cleared his throat.

"Please allow me to make an analogy." He said briskly, "If—I mean if—a steel knife is hung on your bedside by a very strong rope that will never break. Your Excellency How do you feel when you wake up and go to sleep, open your eyes and close your eyes, and you will see this sharp knife?"

"The steel knife will bring the expectation of harm." Gao Daguan didn't think about it, "Even if it can't cause real harm, it can still create a subconscious sense of crisis and the discomfort of being invaded in your personal space. If you hang it for a long time, it will definitely induce anxiety."

——This articulate and quick response, seems to be a top student in psychology.

Lin Jian smiled: "Obviously, the steel knife did not cause physical damage to the human body. What really harmed the human body was the fear caused by seeing the steel knife every day. The principles of Feng Shui are also similar—maybe some patterns In Your Excellency’s view, there is no harm, just like the hanging steel knife does no harm to the human body. However, the negative effects brought about by these patterns can damage the human spirit and subtly harm the human body.”

Gao Daguan pondered.After a while, he asked again.

"Mr.'s theory may not make sense, right? The steel knife hanging on the top of the bed is to bring fear and horror through vision, and then damage the body. In other words, if a blind person is under the steel knife, he will naturally be at ease. Affected. In Mr.’s opinion, what affects the fortune of the human body is not a real object like a steel knife that can be touched and sensed, but the illusory layout of the house—the owner may not even be aware of the change in the layout. Will it be affected by it?"

Send sub-questions.

Lin Jian's smile became more sincere, and he took a breath: "That's right - the layout of the house and the changes in the terrain are indeed difficult for people to see, smell, and touch, but are there only these types of human body?" Are you aware? Mr. Gao has experienced the world for a long time, so he naturally knows all kinds of incredible things in the world: when a relative dies thousands of miles away, even if he is ignorant, he will be sad and frightened for no reason; when an ominous event is about to happen, even if there is no warning, It will also be frightening and restless. Human senses are subtle and complex, and I am afraid that it cannot be summed up in a few words. You can still perceive each other thousands of miles apart, let alone a residential house where you get along with each other in daily life and live for a long time?"

He pondered over these few words for a long time, and now he is talking about them and explaining them one by one, which is indeed quite convincing.Gao Daguan was dumbfounded.

After a few seconds of silence, Gao Daguan turned his head and looked at Lu Yang.

He coughed lightly.

"Mr. Lin's explanation really opened my eyes and opened my eyes." He said slowly, "But it's just an illusory explanation, and it won't stand up after all... I wonder if Mr. Lin can demonstrate the effect of 'Feng Shui' for us. ?”

Even though she had expected it, Lin Jian couldn't help but roll her eyes.

That's right, in the conversation a day ago, Mr. Su had already taught him earnestly: the royal family has strict rules and a strong bureaucratic atmosphere, and what everyone is afraid of is taking responsibility.Even if what he said was hype, the Secretary-General of Royal Affairs would definitely demand that "seeing is believing".

——But, but, Feng Shui, something that works for years and years, how do you ask me to show you that seeing is believing?Of course, there are not no Feng Shui bureaus that are effective on the spot. Secretary-General, can you find me a dead body of a coffin cub?I promise to let the three ascend to heaven on the spot, without delay for a second!

The layman is so mad at the expert, what the hell!

Lin Jian was taking a deep breath, and it was with great difficulty that he suppressed the urge to complain, and put on a smiley face.

"of course can."

He reached into the drawer and took out the hamster and stones that he had prepared earlier.

Of course, Feng Shui can't be effective immediately, but Qimen Dunjia can.

——Qimen Dunjia, the ancient legend was written by Xuanyuan Huangdi, and it was never passed down until the end of Qin Dynasty when the book was burned.In the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang learned the art of war from Huang Shigong. There are a few fragments of Dunjia in the book, which were passed down to the Three Kingdoms.Afterwards, the art of Dunjia was lost, and in modern times, it has become an insignificant little magic.

However, no matter how insignificant a small spell is, it can deal with a mouse.

Three people, three gray-haired heads, stood face to face, staring intently at the scattered stones on the table, and the hamster whirling among the stones.This is quite unusual: with the experience and reputation of these three people, they should have kept calm and calm about everything (in fact, they did for the first 5 minutes, until they saw the lively and lively The hamster starts to stagger around, starts turning in circles, starts rolling on the ground).

Now, all three were staring at the stone, and the poor hamster in the middle of the stone.This hamster has turned fifteen times in place, and it obviously doesn't want to turn No. 16.The hamster turned its head left and right, and finally bravely grabbed the stone beside it. With its two short front paws, it grabbed the sharp edge of the stone with all its strength, and began to hop and hop.

One hop.

two jumps.

Three jumps.

For three full jumps, the hamster couldn't jump on the short, thin, short stone that just reached its chest!

Gao Daguan took a deep breath.He slowly raised his head, but saw a slender, thin finger.

Lin Jian slowly pushed a small gravel two inches to the left.

With a bang, the hamster suddenly overturned the rock that was still as strong as a mountain before, and it rolled down suddenly, and turned out of the pile of rocks.The hamster looked around and jumped off the table in a hurry.

"How do you three feel?"

The author has something to say: The explanation of Fengshui here comes from Ji Xiaolan, and I am not responsible for it~ The description of Qimen Dunjia comes from the notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage and "Zibuyu" (Yuan Mei's book)
