"Qian Palace pattern shifts to Zhen Palace, from the pre-natal to the post-natal! This is a sign of great misfortune, foretelling disaster for the elders." Su Jiu muttered to himself.
"Fourth Brother, I'll go home with you!" Su Jiu said calmly to Chen Jie.
The reason Su Jiu observed Chen Jie's right hand was mainly to confirm his judgment. Although the rule is that the left side is for men and the right for women, there are exceptions. Some people are born with a reversed destiny. For example, some boys are born with a girl's personality and habits, which, scientifically speaking, is due to an excess of female hormones over male hormones. This is like being born into the wrong gender, so Su Jie wanted to confirm this again. Although Chen Jie's face did not show any such signs, Su Jiu was still cautious.
"Third Brother, no need! My home is quite far, and the environment there is not good. There's no need to trouble you!" Chen Jie was taken aback by Su Jiu's words and immediately refused.
To Chen Jie, the Third Brother before him was someone he deeply admired. Although they had only been together for about two months, Third Brother's character and conduct had always been the most steady in the dormitory. Third Brother often took care of him without leaving any trace.
"It's fine, maybe I can help. As brothers, there's no need to say so much." Su Jiu directly interrupted Chen Jie, patted his shoulder, and said.
"Go and prepare your things, and then go to the office to take leave. I'll wait for you at the school gate in an hour, and we'll go together." Su Jiu directly arranged everything for Chen Jie.
Chen Jie's home was in Bijie County, Guizhou Province. Bijie is in the western part of Guizhou, which can be considered the "Tibet" of Guizhou.
After meeting at the school gate, Su Jiu and Chen Jie took a taxi directly to the train station. They did not tell the others in the dormitory, only leaving a note to explain.
On the train, Su Jiu began to close his eyes and rest. Chen Jie's situation had been on his mind since they left the school. Chen Jie's face and hand showed many abnormalities. A person's physiognomy usually does not change so drastically, especially in a short period.
Chen Jie's face was particularly peculiar. Su Jiu was not overly worried about the blood disaster indicated by Chen Jie's physiognomy. Although it appeared very ominous, there were ways to resolve it. Su Jiu knew at least three methods to break this pattern.
However, Su Jiu was clear that this would not solve the problem fundamentally. Feng Shui encompasses a vast array of elements, and physiognomy is just one of them. Su Jiu was clear that hand and face reading are also part of the feng shui layout, but they are minor aspects.
Since it is a feng shui layout, there are naturally ways to resolve it. Su Jiu did not rush to resolve it because he wanted to solve the problem fundamentally. In feng shui, a person's destiny is closely related to the family's feng shui. In simpler terms, one's fate is closely linked to the feng shui of the ancestral tomb and the house. To solve the problem fundamentally, they must go to Chen Jie's hometown, which is why Su Jiu offered to go with him.
Of course, this was still just a guess. The true cause would only be confirmed after seeing the site.
"Third Brother, thank you!" Chen Jie said softly to Su Jiu, who was resting with his eyes closed.
"It's fine, Little Brother, don't worry, your uncle will be fine." Su Jiu looked at Chen Jie and said affirmatively.
Although Su Jiu had many speculations in his mind, he did not say them. Su Jiu even suspected that the deaths of Chen Jie's grandparents and the current coma of his father might be related to a feng shui layout. However, everything was still unclear and would only be confirmed after seeing the site.
The train journey from Xiang City to Bijie took nearly five hours. This distance was neither long nor short. For Chen Jie, the five-hour journey was a torment. He did not call home to tell his mother he was coming back. If he had told her, she would have definitely stopped him. In his mother's eyes, studies always came first. This time, if he had not called home and noticed something was wrong with her voice, she might not have told him even after his persistent questioning.
The five hours passed quickly. When they arrived at the Bijie train station, it was already around 7 or 8 PM, and it was getting dark. Although Bijie is located in the western part of Guizhou, its economic conditions are not poor, ranking among the top three in Guizhou. Bijie is an ancient city, having been an important location since the Xia Dynasty and continuing through the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Located in the northwest of Guizhou, it borders Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces. Despite its remote location and inconvenient transportation, it has been a strategic location since ancient times, with a rich cultural heritage.
Chen Jie's home was not in the city of Bijie but in a mountainous area of Dafang County. It was already 7 or 8 PM, and there were no buses to his home. Therefore, Su Jiu and Chen Jie had to stay in a hotel in the city for the night. After leaving the train station, they took a taxi to a hotel and booked a double room to rest.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, Su Jiu and Chen Jie got up, washed up, and took the earliest bus to Dafang County. The journey from Bijie was bumpy, but the first part of the road was relatively smooth. After reaching Dafang County, the road became very dangerous. It was a mountain road, with a cliff on one side and a mountain wall on the other. The road looked extremely perilous from the car window. The driver was an experienced old hand, and Su Jiu's heart was moved several times, almost shouting out in surprise a few times.
In contrast, Chen Jie, preoccupied with his thoughts, did not pay attention to the road and was deeply troubled throughout the journey. After a three-hour drive, they finally arrived at a small town in Dafang County. The scattered streets indicated that the economy here was not developed. Su Jiu did not observe much, as everything here was filled with an ancient and rustic atmosphere.
After a short journey, Su Jiu and Chen Jie finally arrived at Chen Jie's village. As they approached the house, only a few meters away, Chen Jie's mood became increasingly heavy. When they finally reached the house, Chen Jie looked at the scene before him and felt immense pain!
