Chapter 0003: The Method of Observing Water

The driver shot me a fierce glare, and I had no choice but to get down and procure the necessary items, which were merely a bowl of water and a fine needle, quite easy to obtain, and I was ready in no time.

Master He Jiu did not dare to be negligent and immediately ordered someone to dig down. Soon, another Soul Locking Stake was unearthed

To understand this malevolent feng shui formation, if it cannot be resolved in a timely manner, it is sufficient to cause a family to be cut off from descendants.

It is no wonder that just by looking at the shape of this iron pillar, one can tell that it is certainly not a good thing

The driver let out a cold laugh

A Biao, filled with anger, raised both hands and swiftly took three steps forward while holding a water bowl. In this large celadon bowl, there was water filled to nine-tenths of its capacity, and indeed, not a single ripple disturbed its surface, remaining as smooth as a mirror

In simple terms, if the first case assigned by the master is relatively ordinary, it indicates that this disciple's aptitude is rather mediocre, and there will be no significant achievements in the future

A Biao also helped by grabbing a shovel, and soon unearthed the object, which turned out to be a nearly two-meter-long, arm-thick black iron pillar

The voice trembled, filled with terror, even carrying a hint of sobbing.

Conversely, if the first case referred to by the ancestral master is more complex, it indicates that this disciple possesses greater talent

Bring the things over and put them on the table, staring at me coldly: "If you can't come up with something interesting later, you'll be in trouble!"

Later, Granduncle San achieved great success in the field of geomancy, also known as Feng Shui, becoming a renowned master in this discipline. Throughout his life, he experienced numerous ups and downs.

Is it these things that are causing the trouble?" Lord He Jiu's expression was extremely dark.

Walk about ten steps to the southeast, point to the ground, and say, "Dig here again"

The Soul Locking Pillar is crafted using secret methods, inscribed with the Taoist scripture for guiding souls. It inherently possesses the efficacy of restraining and locking away malevolent spirits, and is essentially an object for exorcising evil and pacifying malevolence

I gestured for A Biao to follow me

The fine needle gently rotated on the water's surface as we exited the villa and began to circle around it

However, Master He Jiu remained composed, gesturing with his hand to let him proceed as instructed

A Biao immediately made a phone call, and before long, several servants arrived with shovels and other tools, beginning to dig the soil

I had high hopes, but I never anticipated that things would soon begin to develop in a completely uncontrollable direction

A Biao glared with his eyes and said: "Didn’t you just say it was a feng shui issue? How come it’s all good now?"

"Ninth Master, the ancestral home of your family indeed has excellent feng shui," I paused and said

When my great-uncle first ventured into the world, he encountered a mother-and-child black coffin in a mountain village in Changning. The situation was quite intricate and exceptionally perilous, leaving my great-uncle in a state of disarray, nearly costing him his life.

"What are you up to again?" A Biao frowned and said, and when he looked down, his expression changed drastically.

Master He Jiu was in a fit of rage, demanding that someone quickly dig out the items.

I did not respond, indicating for A Biao to stand under the brass chandelier

I glanced at him and asked, "Have you practiced martial arts? Can you manage to carry a bowl of water steadily without spilling a drop?"

"How is it now?" he asked, raising his eyebrows

At this moment, a servant came running from the direction of the villa, shouting as he ran: "Something bad has happened, sir... sir, come quickly and take a look!"

At this moment, a needle as fine as a cow's hair floated on the surface of the water in the bowl, surprisingly not sinking.

Master He Jiu said: "A Biao is my driver and bodyguard, exceptionally skilled; even when carrying water at a brisk pace, there would not be a single ripple."

I asked Master He Jiu, what kind of person he must have offended to be subjected to such malicious methods to harm him

However, there are also benefits; this indicates that the disciple's future path will be relatively stable, with no significant setbacks, and they will live a life of peace and safety.

It is said that this is the ancestral master guiding future generations, thus the first case we received holds extremely special significance.

Both Master He Jiu and the other person were greatly astonished

A Biao was stunned by my move, and at this moment, he no longer dared to confront me directly. He held the water bowl level and walked to the center of the chandelier

If it is not only complex but also extremely perilous, then congratulations are in order, as it indicates that this descendant disciple possesses not only high talent but also a life filled with ups and downs, surrounded by dangers, facing life-and-death situations, and must be approached with utmost caution

Great-uncle San once said that the reason our sect of diviners must draw the "Heavenly Wind Jiao" hexagram in order to accept the first case is based on a certain rationale

What is this?" Lord He Jiu's face turned ashen

From the perspective of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang, water is inherently associated with Yin, and thus it is subtly influenced by the direction of Yang energy. The surface tension of water will vary according to the strength of Yang energy.

You ... ... '' A Biao was furious, but upon seeing the expression of Master He Jiu, he still suppressed his anger and stepped forward to hold up the bowl of water

At this moment, the place where we stood was a small grove, several dozen meters away from the villa's main gate. I turned back to take a glance and said with a smile, "The feng shui was originally good, but unfortunately, it has been damaged by others"

I nodded and said, "Then please, Brother Biao, hold the water bowl properly and follow me, listening to my instructions."

After being washed with water, it was discovered that fierce demon patterns were still depicted on the iron pillar, along with inscriptions in strange characters

As we approached to take a look, we saw a square object protruding from the ground, and when the shovel struck it, it made a clanging sound.

Master He Jiu also noticed something unusual and leaned over to stare intently at the fine needle in the bowl, asking, "Young sir, what is this?" His tone had become considerably more serious.

Indeed, Master He Jiu did not speak incorrectly. If my calculations are correct, there should be thirty-six soul-locking stakes buried outside the villa, positioned directly in front of the villa's main entrance, arranged according to the flow of the earth's veins

However, arranging thirty-six soul-locking stakes to form a soul-locking array is equivalent to gathering wandering souls and malevolent spirits, forcibly locking them within the array. Moreover, as time passes, the malevolent spirits will only continue to accumulate, thereby forming something we in the industry refer to as a "Wandering Soul Corridor"

I carefully observed the rotation and frequency of the needle tip, continuously calculating with a unique algorithm, and cross-referencing it with the local topographical patterns, which has given me a general outline in my mind

I walked up to a jujube tree, patted the trunk, and said, "Let's dig down and take a look."

Does this not indicate that the ancestral master is quite satisfied with the talent of this junior disciple?

I leaned against a jujube tree, watching them busily at work, feeling a slight excitement in my heart

At a depth of approximately 3 meters, a servant shouted: "We have unearthed something!"

Master He Jiu's complexion fluctuated between green and white, yet after pondering for a long time, he could not articulate the reason behind it

This method of observing water is based on this principle, using the direction of the needle's tip in the water to determine the flow of Yang energy.

I let him take a few steps to see

The He family ancestral home is now a typical corridor of wandering souls, which is why it is filled with a chilling aura and strange occurrences abound

Moreover, the matter was resolved so smoothly that the future should be relatively stable, and we are fortunate!

I quietly assessed that my first encounter with the "Wandering Soul Corridor" was quite similar to my great-uncle's mother-and-son black coffin, although the process of resolution was rather smooth

I am using a secret technique called "Water Observation Method," also known as the Floating Needle Method, which employs a unique skill to make a fine needle float on the surface of the water.

Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, I flicked my finger at him.

I brought Lord He Jiu with me, and I saw that the fine needle in the bowl was suspended on the water's surface, with both the tip and the tail gently trembling

Upon careful reading of the text above, it is the Daoist "Soul Sending Scripture". Looking again at the iron pillar, which glimmers with a strange blood-red hue amidst its dark surface, I remarked: "It must be a soul-locking stake"

A Biao summoned a group of people again to excavate the soul-locking stakes underground one by one according to the positions I marked

A Biao wore a serious expression, holding a bowl of water beside me, while Master He Jiu followed closely behind him, fixated on the bowl of water.

Still pretending to be mysterious! The driver was furious
