Chapter 191
The next morning.
Lin Ran arrived at his friend’s construction site early with Luo Cheng, and to Lin Ran’s surprise, Luo Qiqi actually came with him.
When he arrived at the construction site, Lin Ran found that it was a floor under construction, the main body had been completed, but the walls had not yet been tiled, and Lin Ran could see the tiling work halfway through from a distance.
“Old Luo, you’re here, where’s brother Lin Ran?”
Soon a young man with yellow skin and a slightly chubby build came running over, he was about Lin Ran’s age and looked very competent with his construction site helmet.
“This is Lin Ran!”
Luo Cheng introduced with a smile.
“Hello brother Lin Ran, my name is Chu Nan!”
The youth said with a smile.
“Lin Ran!”
Lin Ran extended his hand and shook his, then asked with a smile.
“What’s wrong with this construction site of yours?”
“It’s like this, brother Lin Ran, let’s talk about it as we walk!”
Chu Nan said busily.
Lin Ran nodded, and in a whirlwind, the group of people walked over towards the site and went inside.
On the way, Chu Nan told the situation once again.
It turned out that there had always been a strange phenomenon at his construction site, from the time the main body of the building was first constructed, whenever it exceeded three storeys in height, something strange would appear at the southeast corner of the house.
In the beginning, it was the building as a whole, and the southeast corner was drying out faster than the other locations. At first, people thought it was because the sun was rising from the east and didn’t care.
However, as the main building was completed and work began on the windows and other external wall laying, the problem arose.
Initially, when renovating the windows in the south-east corner, workers were often inexplicably primed with vertigo and even had trouble seeing out of their eyes.
Later, when painting the external walls, still in the south-east corner, several workers were burnt in different groups.
There was even a worker’s rope that was inexplicably burnt off later on, but people working at height are not allowed to carry fire sources at all!
“In recent days, several workers were putting up bricks, but somehow they got burnt, and some even suffered heat stroke! This ….”
Chu Nan said at the end, simply a little frantic, everywhere else was fine, it was this southeast corner that kept having problems.
“How are the workers’ bodies after treatment?”
Lin Ran asked.
“After treatment their bodies have all recovered, but as soon as they started working, they had heat stroke again, and now there are already people among the workers saying something about it being haunted, and it’s causing panic!”
Chu Nan was puzzled, seeing that the deadline was approaching, if he could not finish the work on time again, when the time came, it would be a small matter to deduct the wages of the workers, but it would be a big matter to delay the salary payment of a group of people under his command.
“Don’t worry, since I’m here, I’ll naturally do my best!”
Lin Ran said.
“Then, thank you, brother Lin Ran!”
Chu Nan said gratefully.
The group soon arrived at the dormitory of the sick employees, and under Chu Nan’s arrangement, Lin Ran met with these people and then helped them check their bodies.
Taking this time, Chu Nan then pulled Luo Cheng aside and ran, whispering.
“Old Luo, you’re not F**king kidding me, this friend of yours is even younger than me, can he do it?”
“What the hell do you know, my friend used to be the director of the Chinese medicine department in Tanjiang City, and is even more proficient in feng shui, just this little Sh*t of yours, I guarantee that just this once, he will be able to give you a good look!”
Luo Cheng said.
Chu Nan, however, had a difficult look on his face and said.
“Don’t lie to me, that kid Xi Bei has also found someone, if I let him solve this, I won’t be able to save my face in front of the boss in the future!”
“Xibei? What kind of person could he find?”
Luo Cheng said disdainfully, he had heard of this person, Xi Bei, said to be Chu Nan’s rival, both of them are doing engineering contracting, now both are in this construction site, just responsible for different areas.
“I heard that he is a feng shui master, originally this is my place, it is not his kid’s turn to interfere, but the boss saw that my side has not been done for half a month, that’s why he asked him to help!”
Chu Nan said.
Luo Cheng nodded at his words and said blandly.
“Don’t worry, you’re still not sure about the person I found!”
“That’s fine!”
Seeing that Luo Cheng was so sure of himself, Chu Nan could not say anything else, he just nodded and did not say anything more.
Luo Cheng suddenly thought of something and opened his mouth to remind.
“I can tell you, this friend of mine is a person with real ability, don’t say everything, if you offend him, even I can’t protect you!”
“Really?”
Chu Nan looked surprised and didn’t quite believe it.
“You’ll find out later!”
Luo Cheng didn’t say much, smiled blandly, and then swirled into the room.
In the room, Lin Ran had already checked the physical conditions of all the employees who had problems.
“How is it?”
Luo Cheng came up and asked.
“Yes! Brother Lin Ran, how is it going?”
Chu Nan also followed in and hurriedly asked.
“We don’t know the exact situation yet, but their heatstroke is very special!”
Lin Ran said.
“Very special? What do you mean?”
Chu Nan didn’t understand, wasn’t it just heatstroke? Why is it still special?
“To put it simply, normal heatstroke is because the weather is too hot, at this time, the patient’s whole body temperature will rise, but these workers of yours, only have a very high localized body temperature!”
Lin Ran said, bringing two electronic thermometers and said.
“This is what I just measured, their back temperature is nearly twenty degrees different from the temperature of the other locations!”
“This ….”
Chu Nan was a bit at a loss for words, and Luo Cheng, who was at the side, saw this and asked.
“So what now? Are there any problems with their bodies?”
“There’s nothing wrong with their bodies, the cause of the problem should be upstairs, we have to go to the field to take a look!”
Lin Ran said.
“Upstairs?”
Hearing Lin Ran’s words, Chu Nan’s face instantly turned very ugly.
The building was modified by him, if anything really went wrong, the consequences of this would not only be losing his family’s money, but he might even have to go to jail.
“Don’t worry, things shouldn’t be as serious as you think!”
Lin Ran comforted, but it was obviously of little use, Chu Nan’s face still looked very ugly.
“Let’s go, since we’ve come across this matter, we always have to solve it!”
Luo Cheng patted Chu Nan’s shoulder and said.
“Ai! Alright!”
Chu Nan sighed helplessly, he actually understood in his heart, except that when he ran into this kind of thing, he really didn’t want to think about the building, after all, that was all he had.
Just as the group was about to leave the room, suddenly, a voice was the one that rang out from outside the door.
“Where else are you going? There’s no need to go, I’ve already sorted things out!”
“Xi Bei! You B*****d!”
Chu Nan’s face instantly turned blue when he heard that, this was not just about the construction site, but also about ability and face.
If something happened on his own site and he let Xi Bei, the other site, decide, how could he be allowed to work on his own site in the future, and how could he still have any prestige in front of his men in the future?
The four men followed him out of the room, only to see outside, a dark-skinned young man, about the same age as the others, wearing a safety helmet, with a smug smile on his face.
Next to him stood an old man, over half a hundred years old, with white hair, holding a floating dust in his hand, looking immortal.
Seeing a few people come out, Xi Bei pointed to the old man beside him and laughed.
“This is Daoist Master Li, he has already found out the reason for the matter, so you guys don’t need to waste any more effort!”
Chapter 192
“BullSh*t you! When did you find out, why don’t I know!”
Chu Nan questioned.
“Just now!”
Xibei said smugly, while beckoning the helpful old man to tell him what had happened.
Seeing this, Daoist Master Li, with a wisp of his beard and a picture of virtue, laughed and said.
“In this matter, I have indeed found out that it was because of a missing step during the heavenly ritual that caused the Heavenly Master to be enraged, thus sending down the calamity!”
“Sacrifice to the heavens?”
Lin Ran frowned slightly at his words.
“What the hell? Sacrificing to the heavens? Why don’t you enter the earth!”
Chu Nan retorted.
“Ignorant little child, what do you know!”
Daoist Master Li raised his cold eyebrows and scolded.
“In building a house and building a room, sacrificing to the heavens is a very important process, and one thing is missing that needs to be worshipped!”
Chu Nan sniffed disdainfully.
“Don’t show off to me, I can do construction work without knowing this, I have worshipped every time before the construction work starts!”
“No, no, no! You may have worshipped, but your worship was wrong!”
Daoist Master Li said with a clear mind.
“Then tell me, where did I go wrong?”
Chu Nan sneered, he didn’t believe this Daoist Master Li’s words, if he really worshipped wrongly, how come all his previous projects were fine, but this one was the only one that had problems!
“It’s actually very simple, you were missing one very important thing when you made the worship!”
Daoist Master Li said, probing his hand and taking out a bottle with some liquid inside.
“What the hell is it?”
Chu Nan asked.
“This is celestial water!”
Daoist Master Li smiled mysteriously.
“Heavenly water? You’re not going to say that it’s raining, are you!”
Chu Nan said disdainfully.
“That’s right, it is the rain that falls, the rain that does not fall to the ground, also called rootless water!”
Daoist Master Li said smugly.
“I’ve never really heard of worshipping rootless water! You’re afraid you’re not a liar!”
Chu Nan said.
Daoist Master Li smiled blandly at his words, and then said.
“Ignorant little child, how can a Feng Shui course be understood by a mere mortal like you?”
Chu Nan laughed coldly at his words.
“Then why was the project completed safely when I didn’t worship the rootless water before, but not this time’s?”
“This ….”
Daoist Master Li was dumbfounded by the question and pondered for a moment before saying.
“That is because rootless water is not the main material for worship, normally the heavens turn a blind eye to it and forgive you for the sake of the goodness of the heavens, but this time the heavens do not see your sincerity, so they send down frequent calamities!”
At this explanation from Daoist Master Li, Chu Nan was somewhat at a loss as to how to respond, and could only turn his head to look at Lin Ran.
“Daoist Master Li, can you lend me this rootless water of yours to take a look at!”
Lin Ran stepped forward two parts and smiled blandly.
“Unbridled!”
Daoist Master Li’s face snapped and he said.
“This rootless water of mine has been enchanted with magical power, how can it be touched at will by a mere mortal like you?”
“Is that so? It’s fine not to look, but I would like to ask, Daoist Master Li, how much did you pay for this rootless water?”
Lin Ran continued.
“You ignorant little boy, I’ve said it’s rootless water, how can you buy it with money!”
Daoist Master Li chided.
Lin Ran smiled faintly at his words, and then said.
“That’s strange, why does this rootless water of yours look just like mineral water?”
“You …. What nonsense are you talking about! What mineral water, this is rootless water for me!”
Daoist Li hurriedly defended.
Lin Ran, however, turned his eyebrows and said.
“That’s not right! I’ve seen rootless water before and it all has impurities in it, how come this rootless water of yours has nothing in it and looks just like mineral water!”
“You ….”
Daoist Li was so angry that he blew out his beard and said once again.
“I’ve said it, I’ve said that this is rootless water that has been treated with magic power, how can it be compared to ordinary rootless water!”
“O? Is that so?”
Lin Ran said, circling around Daoist Master Li, then asked with a smile.
“Daoist Master Li, do you prefer hot tea water, or the mineral water sold in shops outside?”
“What?”
Daoist Master Li was a little confused at his words and frowned.
“Nonsense, of course that’s hot tea water!”
Generally virtuous people liked to drink tea, so naturally he didn’t say anything about mineral water.
Lin Ran nodded at his words, followed by what was actually a very unexpected slap directly on Daoist Li’s waist.
Just as the crowd looked dumbfounded, they heard a “bang” and a mineral water bottle fell off Daoist Li’s waist.
“Great! What is this?”
Chu Nan’s quick eyes and quick hands, before Daoist Li could pick it up, he snatched it up and put it in his hand.
“Give it back to me!”
Daoist Li said with an ugly look on his face.
Lin Ran, however, stepped between the two, and then laughed.
“Daoist Master Li, you said you like and tea right, then this mineral water should not have touched a single sip, right?”
“Who said that, I was unbearably thirsty just now, so I took a sip!”
Daoist Master Li said.
“Really? Then it looks like you took quite a few sips, there’s a fifth of water missing from this water bottle!”
Lin Ran said, taking the mineral water bottle and placing it next to Daoist Master Li, laughing.
“But how do I see this rootless water, it seems to be mineral water, Daoist Master Li, why don’t you pour the rootless water in and see? Maybe it just happens to be a bottle!”
“You!”
Daoist Master Li’s face instantly changed at his words, this so-called rootless water of his was indeed poured out from inside the mineral water, he forgot to throw the bottle away in the rush to come just now, and this was why it stayed on his body.
“What? Daoist Master Li doesn’t dare?”
Lin Ran laughed.
“I think it’s 80% mineral water, this kind of person actually has people believing his bullSh*t, it’s simply idiotic!”
Chu Nan chimed in beside him again.
“You!”
Xi Bei’s face turned blue at his words, and he turned to Daoist Master Li.
“Daoist Master Li, just do it and show them, you are so capable, can’t you still be afraid of their slander!”
He was very trusting of Daoist Master Li.
“This …..”
Hearing Xi Bei’s words, Daoist Master Li stammered and looked embarra*sed.
“Daoist Master Li! What is there to hesitate about!”
Xi Bei once again urged.
“Xi Bei, it seems that Daoist Master Li is a thief with a weak heart!”
Chu Nan laughed beside him again.
“You!”
This time it was Xi Bei’s turn to look ugly.
Just as the two were tit-for-tat, suddenly Chu Nan moved, and he took advantage of Daoist Master Li’s inattention to actually snatch the rootless water out of his hand.
“Give it back to me!” Daoist Master Li was instantly panicked.
But how could Chu Nan give it back to him? With a shake of his palm, he followed and poured all the rootless into the mineral water bottle without pulling a drop.
“It’s really a bottle!”
Luo Qiqi exclaimed at the side.
Chu Nan looked at Xi Bei and laughed.
“Xi Bei, did not expect ah, just a bottle of mineral water to get rid of you, you are really good at fooling ah!”
“You!”
Xi Bei blushed ugly and turned to look at Daoist Master Li.
“Daoist Master, what is going on here!”
Daoist Master Li naturally could not admit it and said.
“It just happened, moreover, now that the rootless water has fused with the mineral group water, you can’t conclude that this is mineral water just because it’s synthesized into a bottle of water!”
“That’s really shameless!”
Chu Nan said coldly, he had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such a shameless person.
