Chapter 24

Su Jiu's pupils constricted slightly. After performing the three bows, he inserted the three long incense sticks in his hand into the incense burner. Then he took a deep breath, faced the entrance of the villa, and began to rapidly circulate his internal energy, focusing his mental strength.

In recent days, Su Jiu had been influenced by the golden compass in his mind, causing his internal energy to become somewhat chaotic. At this moment, he had to concentrate his mental strength to be able to guide his internal energy.

Feng Shui and geomancy fundamentally aim to change the energy field of a feng shui layout. This is the essence of geomancy. Su Jiu wanted to break the "Heart-Burning Fire" layout in front of him, and he couldn't do it with ordinary feng shui methods. He had to rely on his internal energy to influence the entire feng shui layout, giving him a chance to change the feng shui of the place.

This is also a technique used by feng shui masters to break feng shui layouts.

In geomancy, ordinary feng shui practitioners usually use shape and momentum to change the feng shui layout. Only true feng shui masters rely on their internal energy to change the feng shui layout.

To put it simply, every object in the world has its own energy field, some strong, some weak.

The energy field of a place's feng shui layout is auspicious if it benefits people, and inauspicious if it harms them.

Ordinary feng shui practitioners change the energy field by moving and altering the position of objects.

Feng shui masters, on the other hand, use their internal energy to change the energy field of objects.

These are two different approaches: one is a superficial change, the other is a fundamental change.

Su Jiu focused his mind, took a slow step forward with his right foot, and spoke clearly: "Heaven is Qian, Earth is Kun, Qian is Yang, Kun is Yin. If water flows from Jia Mao, the three fires are in the heart position, the world is prosperous, and longevity is enjoyed. If the body is in a state of rest, beware of premature death. The three inches of true yang determine my auspicious residence. Appear!"

After Su Jiu spoke clearly, there was no reaction. The courtyard of the villa was calm, with no abnormalities. Su Jiu's originally relaxed brows tightened, and his pupils constricted slightly. He spoke again:

"Heaven and Earth are auspicious, even great events from heaven are not a problem. Deep-seated enmity in the ocean is nothing to fear. Break it for me!"

At this moment, Li Lao and Zhao Lao, standing to the side, watched Su Jiu perform on the lawn with tension and confusion, not understanding what Su Jiu was doing or what he was waving his hands for.

Zhao Lao seemed to want to ask Su Jiu something but remembered Su Jiu's instruction not to make any noise. He had to hold his tongue and suppress his curiosity.

At this moment, Su Jiu was also feeling a bit uneasy. After two attempts, there was no change in the energy field of the villa, let alone the energy field of the stone lions at the entrance.

Su Jiu knew that he was just at the beginning of the energy cultivation stage. Without external assistance, he had to use special vocal frequencies, which are essentially incantations, to vibrate the energy field and achieve the purpose of changing it.

Su Jiu's first statement was from the opening of the "Chapter of Longevity." Seeing no effect, he spoke again, this time from the opening of the "Chapter of Breaking Evil."

Both statements were from the content recorded in the golden compass in his mind. The compass had recorded similar feng shui layouts and the methods to break them.

However, after two attempts, there was still no effect. Su Jiu suspected that something was wrong.

Originally, Su Jiu planned to use the simplest method to break the feng shui layout, but unexpectedly, the two attempts had no effect. With Li Lao and Zhao Lao still watching, Su Jiu had only one more method left: using external objects, specifically talismans, to break the feng shui layout.

In fact, there were several ways to break the "Heart-Burning Fire" layout. The most practical and simplest method was to destroy the two stone lions, but that was a last resort. It would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. To break the feng shui layout, the evil energy within the stone lions had to be neutralized.

After two calls with no response, Su Jiu stepped back, walked to the altar, and pulled out the three long incense sticks from the incense burner. He placed his index and middle fingers together and inserted them into the incense burner, flicking them. Ash from the incense burner scattered across the altar.

If one observed closely, not a single speck of ash fell outside the altar.

At the same time, Su Jiu opened a small black gourd on the altar, which contained rootless water. He poured the rootless water into a bowl that was already prepared.

With his right hand, he made a gesture in the air, quickly drawing something.

At this moment, Li Lao and Zhao Lao saw a miraculous scene and were stunned speechless.

Su Jiu's hands drew in the air, his pupils constricted. As his right hand moved, a gentle light appeared in the air, emanating from his middle finger. The light spread over the altar.

Li Lao and Zhao Lao were dumbfounded. They had seen Su Jiu light the incense without any ignition device, which they could have attributed to magic. But now, at noon with the sun shining brightly, Su Jiu simply waved his right hand, and gentle characters appeared in the air.

This was too mysterious and too miraculous.

Zhao Lao covered his mouth, afraid of shouting in surprise. Li Lao was the same. The two elders, who were in their sixties or seventies, looked like children watching a magic show, amazed and shocked.

Su Jiu's right hand soon stopped moving, and a special symbol-like rune appeared in the air. Su Jiu quickly picked up the talisman paper on the altar, dipped it in a layer of ash, and, like a seal, pressed it onto the glowing rune in the air.

The glowing rune in the air disappeared, and a dark golden rune mark appeared on the originally blank, yellowed talisman paper.

Su Jiu did not stop there. Holding the talisman, he muttered:

"Yang is born, Yin combines, Heaven overcomes Earth, Break!"

As soon as Su Jiu finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly arose in the courtyard, rustling the clothes of the three people on the lawn.

Li Lao and Zhao Lao were startled by the sudden strong wind.

"Damn, this is not easy. Breaking a feng shui layout is really a physical task!" Su Jiu closed his eyes and cursed inwardly.

Just now, Su Jiu felt as if he had been drained of all his energy. He could only stand still.

The technique of drawing talismans in the air came from the golden compass in his mind, a technique long lost in modern society.

The compass recorded that it required the energy cultivation stage to use, but Su Jiu did not expect that it would require the advanced energy cultivation stage to use it freely. At his initial energy cultivation stage, just a few movements had exhausted his internal energy. If he had known, he would have used the wolf howl brush and cinnabar to draw the talisman directly. Pretending to be cool was really not worth it.

The strong wind continued. Su Jiu closed his eyes, recovering his internal energy while sensing the changes in the villa's energy field.

Everything was as Su Jiu had imagined. The energy field of the entire villa began to slowly change and circulate. When the energy field of the entire courtyard started moving, it surged like a flood toward the stone lions at the entrance.

Even Li Lao and Zhao Lao could feel the sudden change in the direction of the wind, blowing toward the entrance of the villa.

The next scene left Li Lao and Zhao Lao, who had just recovered, staring in shock for a long time.
