Chapter 1678 - 1672: The Taoist Temple Under Construction
"Are these two parcels all your belongings?" Chen Yang glanced at the parcels on the ground and asked.
With a full face of smiles, Taoist Liu nodded, "That’s right, these are my belongings."
Chen Yang had originally thought the old Taoist had a lot of belongings, but to his surprise, it was just two parcels.
"With just this little stuff for two or three days, you must have a lot of free time," Chen Yang said.
"Haha, you don’t understand, young friend. It’s not about quantity, but about the importance of the items. Other things are useless to me, so there’s no need to go through the trouble of bringing them," Taoist Liu said, seemingly profound.
Chen Yang didn’t respond to such words.
"By the way, young friend, how’s the progress of the village’s construction project in the last couple of days? You haven’t opened the sluice gates without permission, have you?" Taoist Liu, seeing Chen Yang ignore him, then changed the subject to ask about the village’s Feng Shui layout.
This question caught Chen Yang’s interest as well.
He had been planning to discuss it with this guy, but didn’t expect him to ask first.
"The sluice gates haven’t been opened, the progress is quite fast. They say the project might be completed by tomorrow. Do you want to go check it out now? To prevent any mistakes," Chen Yang said.
Taoist Liu, who was rather nonchalant a second ago, became slightly serious when Feng Shui was mentioned.
"Hmm... Let’s go check it out. I have a bit of unease, better to have a look," Taoist Liu got up and said.
"Alright."
Chen Yang had no objections and directly went out with Taoist Liu, heading to the fields for an inspection at night.
The Feng Shui layout was vast, with waterways virtually encircling the entire small mountain.
If it were daytime, a glance from a distance would suffice, but inspecting at night was more complex.
One had to watch closely.
But for safety, it’s all worthwhile.
Chen Yang accompanied Taoist Liu the entire way, inspecting along the waterway.
"Who are you!"
After walking for a few minutes, several burly men suddenly emerged with flashlights.
These men were aggressive, surrounding Chen Yang and Taoist Liu in no time.
After some communication, it was learned that these people were left by the construction team to monitor the site.
They were specially arranged by Li Han.
Learning the identity of these people, Chen Yang couldn’t help but praise Li Han inwardly.
She really handles things reliably.
"I’m Chen Yang," said Chen Yang.
These burly men recognized him immediately, changing their attitude, "Oh, it’s Mr. Chen, we thought someone came to sabotage the construction site."
"Mr. Chen, why are you here so late? Is there anything wrong?"
"Just came to take a look, you guys carry on," Chen Yang said casually.
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, the burly men quickly dispersed.
"Young friend, the security work is done quite well," Taoist Liu laughed after the men left.
"Let’s go, check thoroughly," Chen Yang didn’t respond, urging him to quickly proceed with the inspection.
Taoist Liu smiled slightly, saying nothing more, and continued forward to check.
After an inspection, everything seemed fine.
The underwater route was completely according to his design.
"Since there’s no problem, we should head back early."
Hearing everything was fine, Chen Yang also thought about going back, as he still needed to arrange a room for this guy.
But Taoist Liu had no intention of leaving. Instead, he glanced at the small hilltop and smiled at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, my young friend, I’ve inspected the waterway. Aren’t you going to accompany me to see my Taoist temple? That’s also part of the project, it can’t be neglected."
"..."
Chen Yang was a bit helpless, unsure of what was so interesting about a Taoist temple.
Even if there were minor discrepancies, what’s the problem? As long as the quality isn’t affected.
"What’s so interesting? Does a slight discrepancy affect the Feng Shui?" Chen Yang couldn’t help but say.
"Young friend, you don’t understand. My Taoist temple really can’t have discrepancies; otherwise, major issues could arise," Taoist Liu insisted on going up to see it, appearing very mysterious.
Chen Yang didn’t want to, but he didn’t want to hassle with arguing either.
After thinking for a while, he decided to go up there.
"Alright, let’s go,"
Chen Yang nodded in agreement, leading him up to the small mountain, to the temple construction site.
The security staff were present by the waterway below, but none were found above.
Seeing the partially constructed temple, Taoist Liu’s face lit up with a broad smile, as radiant as could be.
"Chen Yang, my young friend, you are quite considerate. The scale of this temple and the materials used are excellent, I’m moved," Taoist Liu looked at its over 400 square meters, with high-quality wood used, feeling extremely satisfied.
Chen Yang remained expressionless, "It’s not about consideration, just contract integrity. You helped me with the Feng Shui layout, naturally, I’ll fulfill my promise."
"Haha, well said. I, the Taoist, enjoy befriending people like you who have integrity and character. If you need help in the future, I’ll surely assist," Taoist Liu was very pleased, even giving an open-hearted promise.
Honestly, hearing this made Chen Yang quite happy.
He felt intuitively that with the old Taoist’s high Feng Shui skills, he wasn’t simple.
There might still be many areas in the future where he could help, so regardless of whether that promise was serious or playful, it was at least a promise.
"Since we’re here, aren’t you going inside to take a look?" After wandering around the site, the two returned to the temple entrance.
Taoist Liu was very satisfied with the temple, initially planning to leave.
Hearing Chen Yang’s words, he realized he should indeed go inside.
"Young friend, you’re right, we should go inside and look."
Smiling, Taoist Liu said, and immediately stepped inside the temple with a brisk stride.
Of course, Chen Yang didn’t stay outside waiting, he went in together.
Though the temple was only halfway constructed, its general shape and facility contours were already visible.
Upon entering, the two first roamed the main hall.
The temple covered over 400 square meters, not small.
Hence, its main hall was built very grandly, impressively.
Though just a two-entry courtyard temple, it was no less than the Taoist temples on famous mountains outside.
"Wonderful, wonderful, to establish such a grand hall in this Feng Shui treasure land, it’s the ultimate dream of my lifetime, fulfilled,"
Taoist Liu was already delighted while wandering outside; he became even more excited upon viewing inside.
Clearly, he was very pleased with the temple.
"Chen Yang, my young friend, I truly thank you. I, the Taoist, am deeply satisfied with it," After getting excited, Taoist Liu couldn’t help but express gratitude to Chen Yang again.
Chen Yang smiled without speaking.
Having seen the main hall, they then passed through the courtyard gate with Taoist Liu, moving to the rear hall.
