410: Chapter 410 Feng Shui Master

"Since Lin Heng says so, let's hurry up and get this done," Zhou Ze quickly spoke up.

If it were anyone else's suggestion, they might have considered it, but if it was Lin Heng's idea, there was nothing more to discuss.

Just do it!

"Good, good, good! We'll go prepare things right away, call the people who need to help, and also invite a Feng Shui master to check the geomancy," the Village Chief also spoke up quickly.

In the early years, they handled almost all the village's major and minor ceremonies, so they were naturally very familiar with the process.

This matter, delayed by seven or eight years, would finally see an end...

Soon, everyone started mobilizing.

Many hands make light work; in just a moment, all the necessary tools and items were gathered.

However...

There was still one issue left unresolved.

That was the Feng Shui master.

"Are everything ready?" Zhou Ze glanced at the time and then asked the old Village Chief beside him.

"This... basically everything that needed to be prepared is ready, but there's still one thing not settled..."

Huh?

At these words, Zhou Ze looked puzzled.

"What is it?"

The Village Chief licked his dry lips and slowly said, "Transporting the coffin is a minor matter, but the Feng Shui master hasn't selected a good spot yet. I'm afraid the deceased won't be easily buried..."

This...

At these words, Zhou Ze and the others froze.

A look of disdain for feudal superstition quickly appeared in their eyes.

One of the police officers said with a wry smile,

"Old Village Chief, what era is this? There's still talk of Feng Shui?"

"Isn't it just finding a place to bury the person? How hard can that be? Besides... the coffin has been sitting here for so long. If it wasn't done sooner, why wait until now to study Feng Shui...?"

"And if there really is a grievance, can that hold it down?"

At this question, the faces of the Village Chief and the others turned somewhat grim.

The old Village Chief clearly started stammering.

"Well, well, Feng Shui still needs to be handled properly. This is our village custom... After suffering hardships in the early years, now that we can finally bury him, putting him to rest in the earth, we must also ensure he lives well down there."

The others also insisted repeatedly.

Faced with this, the numerous police officers showed helpless smiles.

Since the villagers insisted, they couldn't force the issue; they still needed to see what their leader thought.

They all looked uniformly at Xu Mu. Xu Mu looked at his direct superior, who in turn looked at Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment before looking towards Lin Heng.

Finally, the loop closed at Lin Heng.

Noticing their gazes, Lin Heng casually waved his hand.

"To be honest, I actually know a little bit about Feng Shui."

Lin Heng slowly spoke up.

At these words, everyone was stunned.

Lin Heng actually understood this??

The old Village Chief and the others were shocked.

Good heavens!

Didn't they say Lin Heng's major in university was International Trade?

How did he also know this stuff?

But Zhou Ze and the others were even more astonished.

They knew that besides his professional capabilities, Lin Heng possessed extraordinary talents in many other areas!

It could even be said that he reached a world-class level!

However, for others, this might be something mysterious and profound, but for Lin Heng, it was merely one of his many minor hobbies.

Perhaps all the abilities they had discovered about Lin Heng so far were merely the tip of his iceberg.

"Mmm... I know a little. If it's just about settling a wandering soul, I can manage that."

Lin Heng nodded humbly.

At these words, everyone assumed Lin Heng was just being polite, temporarily posing as a Feng Shui master, especially since Lin Heng had previously stated he only wanted Old Man Wang Liu to rest in peace, nothing more.

Many smart people in the village understood this point.

They all nodded in agreement.

Since no one had an objection, they wouldn't say anything further.

The Village Chief also silently acquiesced.

However, they probably didn't know that when Lin Heng said he 'knew a little,' it absolutely meant he was at a master level!

Only Zhou Ze and Su Xueer didn't think Lin Heng was exaggerating; they knew he possessed genuine skill!

"Alright then, since Lin Heng says so, there's no need to argue about it."

"Lin Heng, why don't you tell us where we should send him later?"

Soon, the Village Chief asked.

The immediate priority was to determine the burial location while ensuring the Feng Shui wasn't ruined.

The old Village Chief already had a few potential spots in mind, along with a few inconvenient ones that he couldn't let Lin Heng choose randomly.

After all, Old Man Wang Liu... had been left above ground for so many years, not buried due to non-natural causes, but also because of the villagers' intentions.

No matter where he was buried, it wouldn't be good.

When they visited graves during festivals, they certainly didn't want his grave standing next to their ancestors'—what would that look like?

Everyone quickly became conflicted.

The reason was not much different from the old Village Chief's.

No matter what Lin Heng decided, as long as it wasn't in their ancestral burial grounds, it was fine.

And at this moment...

Inside the coffin...

Wang Liu's expression darkened upon hearing the commotion outside.

Good heavens!

What era is this!

They still care about this stuff?

They should spend more time reading books instead of clinging to this feudal superstition!

Isn't that embarrassing!

Wang Liu snorted coldly.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't expose himself inside, he would have rushed out immediately to curse those fellows thoroughly!

Isn't this delaying my business!

Lin Heng remained expressionless upon hearing this.

He slowly said, "The very top of the back mountain, the spot where the woods are thickest."

Ah!?

At these words, everyone was stunned.

Then... they all looked uniformly towards the old Village Chief.

At this moment, the old Village Chief's face had turned pale.

His lips moved slightly.

Good heavens...

Of all the places Lin Heng could choose, he had to pick the location right on the old Village Chief's property!

The old Village Chief's mouth twitched, and his expression was extremely ugly.

In front of so many police officers, he couldn't refute Lin Heng.

After all, Zhou Ze from the Provincial Bureau acted like a little lamb in front of Lin Heng; what right did he have?

Finally, an unnatural smile appeared on the old Village Chief's face, somewhat awkwardly, "The back mountain? The Feng Shui there is probably not good? That area is prone to landslides. It wouldn't be good if the coffin was exposed. How about choosing another spot?"
