Chapter 2, Feng Buyi
Feng Buyi pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "I see, when the foundation for this house was being dug, exploratory drilling was conducted, and one of the drillings brought out a mixture of blue bricks and glutinous rice ash paste. At that time, I suspected it was an ancient tomb, but I did not want to disturb its tranquility, so I kept silent. The house was built right on top of it, could it be..."
"Feng Buyi, huh?" The girl playfully tilted her head.
"Could it be that Lai Buyi is actually buried here?" Daoist Hua Qing murmured to herself. She found this matter hard to believe. According to reasoning, the master had passed away for seven or eight hundred years, and the biological magnetic field should have long since dissipated. How could it still gather a human form? Generally, although a person's physical body decays after death, matter does not perish, and the biological magnetic field does not disappear simultaneously. The Book of Changes states that matter is "boundless externally and internally," revealing that the universe is vast and infinite, down to elements such as molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons, and fundamental particles, which are also infinite. Each element contains a hologram of the universe, just like DNA, where each chromosome holds all the information about the life, aging, illness, and death of that organism.

Each element contains a hologram of the universe, just like DNA, where each chromosome holds all the information about the life, aging, illness, and death of that organism. What the human eye can see and the human ear can hear is merely a pitifully limited spectrum and frequency. A biological magnetic field is not refracted by visible light; if the frequency emitted is infrasound or ultrasound, it cannot be seen or heard by humans. However, that biological magnetic field exists objectively and truly, but it will also decay like any other element.

However, that biological magnetic field exists objectively and truly, but it will also decay like any other element. When a person dies, the decay of the magnetic field generally follows a seven-day cycle, which is why there has been a longstanding folk belief in the "first seven days," "fifth seven days," and "seventh seven days." The longer the time, the weaker the magnetic field. After seven or eight hundred years of decay, Lai Buyi's magnetic field could not possibly be perceived, even though the young girl might possess a celestial eye.
The master lives just downstairs..." The little girl blurted out, and immediately felt she had misspoken, quickly covering her mouth, "I won't talk to you anymore." After saying this, she dashed out.
Feng Buyi trembled slightly upon hearing this and said, "To be honest with you, Daoist, I have been practicing the ancestral art of feng shui at home since childhood, and I consider myself quite knowledgeable. However, this matter is truly perplexing. My daughter, Jiachen, has lived with me in this cemetery since birth, experiencing all kinds of weather without ever falling ill. People say she is protected by spirits. A few years ago, one night, around the second watch, my wife woke up and found our daughter sitting on the bed, babbling to the air, laughing to herself one moment and dancing with excitement the next. Later, I noticed that this happened every day! Soon, I discovered that my daughter not only spoke earlier than her peers but also developed her language skills at an astonishing rate, which was indeed strange...

After a moment, Feng Buyi cautiously glanced at Daoist Hua Qing, who smiled slightly and said, "Feel free to speak openly." Buyi nodded and continued, "Later, I kept a close watch at night."
"Absolutely not, there are no more masters of the easy numbers in today's world." Hua Qing furrowed her brow and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Since ancient times, both Buddhism and Taoism have discussed the concept of the heavenly eye, believing that through meditation and the cultivation of qi, one can eliminate distractions and reach a state of true inner clarity, allowing one to perceive certain things that ordinary people cannot see, which form specific images in the cerebral cortex. Regarding the pineal gland, the current medical community knows very little; whether this mysterious gland in the human brain is the material manifestation of the heavenly eye remains unproven. The notion of children opening their heavenly eyes is widely circulated, but is it truly real? When children are still innocent and untainted, their minds are free of distractions, their hearts are empty, and they lack self-protective abilities. At this time, the pineal gland serves as an innate sensory function in the human body to evade danger. As children grow up and their self-protective abilities strengthen, this function gradually diminishes, typically disappearing completely around the time they begin to form memories." At this point, she paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, there are exceptions. May I speak with your daughter?" Feng Buyi contemplated for a moment, nodded, and called for the little girl to come in.
Hua Qing pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then turned around and softly said to Jia Chen: "Did your master Lai Buyi mention where his home is?" Feng Buyi leaned forward, fully focused.
"Jiachen, would you be willing to tell me the story of the old man with the long beard?" Hua Qing asked kindly
Hua Qing and Feng Buyi were taken aback, looking at each other in astonishment
Huaqing Road: "Mr. Feng, do not believe the words of children; the home of Lai Buyi is not here at all." After saying this, he stood up
She said that every night an old man with a long beard teaches her to read and play games. I suspect that this child might possess 'heavenly eye vision.' Could it be that there is something strange in the burial area? My spouse and I were afraid of frightening the child, so we did not continue to inquire further. Subsequently, I reviewed all the burial records of the cemetery, which included over 1,000 graves. There were scholars and teachers among them, but there was no one who studied the Book of Changes or practiced yin-yang techniques.
"In that case, there must be something unusual about this matter." Hua Qing, filled with inexplicable excitement, hurriedly asked, "Have you asked her how she recognizes the characters?"
Outside the hall, in the square, a five or six-year-old girl was playing alone with a group of puppies. Hua Qing noticed that the little girl was fair-skinned and delicate, which made her quite fond of her. The girl approached and smiled gently at Hua Qing, asking, "Are you looking for my father?"
"My master asked me to keep a secret, because I am the 29th generation heir of the Jiangxi school. In the future, he will tell me a very big secret. If I reveal it, my master will no longer pay attention to me." The young girl spoke with a tone that was remarkably mature, despite her youthful appearance.
Feng Buyi gently stroked his daughter's head: "Jiachen, I'm not an outsider, tell Daddy, Daddy will take you to the zoo"
"Yes, it is Master Longbeard. Do you know Master Longbeard's name?" Hua Qing said with a smile.
This statement struck like a heavy hammer on the chests of Hua Qingdao and Feng Buyi, leaving them momentarily speechless.

Qingming Festival. The Hejia Mountain Cemetery in Jiujiang is bustling with activity, as people assist the elderly and carry children, holding Qingming flowers to pay respects at the graves. On the mountain path, there is a female Taoist priest dressed in a gray robe, approximately in her forties. Some recognize her as Master Huaqing, the head of the "Kaitian Ancient Temple" in the suburbs. This ancient temple is quite famous in the Jiujiang area; although it does not hold the same prestigious status as the sacred Taoist sites of Sanqing Mountain and Longhu Mountain, it is still thriving with incense offerings and a continuous stream of devotees. Master Huaqing is particularly skilled in the arts of yin and yang, and her divination and fortune-telling are remarkably effective. Master Huaqing traverses through the central and northern cemetery areas, arriving at the service hall located at the top of the mountain. This is a two-story building designed in an ancient style, with red walls and a yellow roof.
Upon thinking of this, Hua Qing raised her eyes to look at Feng Buyi and said: "Do you know if there are any ancient tombs within a radius of one hundred feet?"
Jia Chen seemed possessed, still dancing and prancing about, unable to be awakened no matter how much one called her. At around the hour of Yin and Mao, she would fall asleep again, behaving like a normal person during the day. After being sent to the hospital for examination, no ailments were found. Later, it was discovered by chance that she could actually read, and in traditional Chinese characters! During the day, she would often climb onto my old books on Yin-Yang and numerology, pretending to study them. Initially, I did not pay much attention, but later I found that she was reading with great interest. Even more astonishing was that she pointed out errors in books such as "Qing Wu," "Funeral Classics," and "Revealing the Secrets of Heaven".
"Who is your father?" Hua Qing asked in astonishment
Lai Buyi, whose given name is Lai Wenjun, is commonly known as Buyi. He was a native of Ningdu, Jiangxi, and a renowned Feng Shui master during the Song Dynasty, being the third-generation successor of the Jiangxi school. In ancient China, Feng Shui was divided into two major schools: Jiangxi (the School of Form) and Fujian (the School of Qi). The Jiangxi school emphasizes the topography of mountains and rivers, seeking dragon veins and burial spots, while the Fujian school focuses on compass directions. Lai Buyi was well-versed in the arts of Yin and Yang, skilled in locating unusual burial sites, and was famously regarded as a master of divination rarely seen in hundreds of years. Throughout his life, he wandered the world, and his whereabouts in his later years remain unknown.

I am Feng Shengcun, may I ask who the Daoist priest is... ..." hurried words came from behind.
Indeed. Hua Qing felt a shiver in her heart and thought to herself, this child is truly somewhat different from others
Hua Qing turned around, gently nodded, exchanged a few pleasantries, and said: "It is not convenient to talk here, may we go inside to discuss?" Once inside the room, a cup of clear tea was served.
Jia Chen shook his head: "I cannot say."
Jia Chen thought for a moment and shook his head: "No."
I heard someone say that your daughter is somewhat unusual
What can you see?" Hua Qing asked

"It is the Master with the long beard," the little girl said, pouting and correcting in a serious manner
