The stall wasn't located on either side of the road but was crammed into a corner, with only a small space about a meter wide. It didn't seem to attract many customers. When Wei Yang walked over, he immediately understood why. The vendor had a sharp, weasel-like face, with shifty eyes that made him look extremely untrustworthy. While it's true that all merchants have their tricks, wearing such an expression on your face was a surefire way to scare off business. Coupled with the fact that the stall didn't…- 380.6 K • Completed
- The so-called "Ghost Market" first appeared in old Beijing and was an antique trading market that operated from midnight to dawn. It typically dealt in items that couldn't be openly traded, such as heirlooms sold off by fallen aristocrats, treasures stolen from the palace by eunuchs, or burial artifacts obtained by tomb robbers. Sellers would set up stalls in the open air in remote areas, and if a buyer was interested, they would negotiate prices by gesturing in their sleeves, without speaking a word. The…

- At exactly 6 a.m., Zhang Xiuqi opened his eyes. However, he didn't immediately get up today. Instead, he lay flat on the bed for about a minute before turning his head to glance at the person lying beside him. The man next to him was sleeping soundly, his posture somewhat unstable, curled up close to Zhang Xiuqi, legs slightly bent as if trying to form a half-circle. If a psychological expert were present, they would likely point out that this sleeping posture indicated a lack of security. However,…

- Perhaps the effects of the feng shui arrangement were too significant. In less than three days, the transfer of the new house was completed. Manager Cheng even wanted to bring people to help Master Wei move, but Wei Yang naturally couldn't let them see his shabby little rental apartment. He sternly refused, explaining that some ritual tools could only be handled personally, thus managing to send off the overly enthusiastic Manager Cheng. Choosing a day with clear skies and gentle breezes, he drove the…

- A simple morning tea ended up lasting over two hours. It wasn't until noon that Wei Yang finally declined Director Chang's invitation to lunch and was sent back to Jieshui Studio by a private car. Ignoring Sun Muhua's endless barrage of curious questions, he first called his boss. "...That's roughly how things stand." Standing at the office door, Wei Yang let out a soft sigh and concluded. For a long time, there was no response from the other end of the line. After a while, the old swindler finally…

- Two days later, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Manager Cheng, dressed neatly, arrived at Chaoyang Community. Although the community was named "Chaoyang"Facing the Sun, fewer and fewer people came out for morning exercise these days, likely scared off by the infamous reputation of the haunted house. It seemed that no one dared to venture out until the sun was fully up. However, this was just as well, as it made it more convenient for them to handle today's business. Standing in the cool…

- Although Jieshui Studio was just a feng shui workshop, it was small yet fully equipped. Apart from the reception room, meeting room, master's office, and VIP hall on the upper floor, there was also a sizable basement downstairs, divided into several small rooms specifically for storing various props and tools needed for their setups. In essence, so-called "golden-touch masters" shared similarities with magicians—both employed small tricks to divert attention and confuse the mind, deceiving clients who…

- The visitor's tone was calm, but his demeanor was anything but humble. From head to toe, he exuded an air of superiority. However, Wei Yang wasn't intimidated. He responded with confidence, "May I ask your name, sir, and what brings you to our Jieshui Studio?" The man didn't speak. Instead, the short, stout man beside him barked angrily, "Kid, are you new in town? You dare steal business from Tiande? Do you not want to stay in Jin Province anymore?" "Steal business?" Wei Yang raised an eyebrow. "I…

- The jade cicada itself wasn't very large, and its design was quite simple. Casually held in Wei Yang's hand, it didn't seem particularly eye-catching. However, Heipi let out a surprised gasp after just a glance and quickly snatched it over. "Tsk tsk! What a treasure… Ah, ruined, ruined!" As soon as Heipi touched it, he couldn't hold back, pointing at the hole in the cicada's body and cursing, "Who the hell has such poor taste to wear a jade han? Why didn't they just put it in their mouth? Damn it,…

- After carefully calculating and "consulting" Little Celestial Master Zhang, Master Wei finally formulated a plan to wrap things up. He decided to scout out Cultural Street first, with his destination naturally being Treasure House. Unlike ordinary antique shops, Treasure House operated both wholesale and retail businesses. With its extensive connections, fair prices, and a wide selection of rare feng shui items that were hard to come by on the market, it was a favorite among small shop owners. As such,…
