Chapter 5

As Su Jiu let out a loud shout, echoes reverberated through the corridor, sounding particularly grating in the night.

"Is there no one here, just my illusion? Impossible! I clearly sensed an unusual aura approaching, there must be someone here!" After waiting for a moment and seeing no response, the corridor of the teaching building remained pitch black, Su Jiu couldn't help but think to himself.

"Hmm?" Just as Su Jiu, who had just relaxed, was about to continue up the floor, he suddenly sensed that strange aura moving again.

"What is this?" Su Jiu opened his eyes.

"This isn't a human aura, nor is it an object's aura. This is the aura of the earth moving!" Su Jiu suddenly thought, completely stunned.

Just now, Su Jiu had felt the unusual movement of the aura and assumed that someone else was exploring the second teaching building, or that it was caused by something else.

But when Su Jiu sensed the aura again, a different thought suddenly popped into his mind. This unusual aura was emanating from beneath the foundation of the second teaching building.

However, what stunned Su Jiu was not this reason, but the sudden thought that popped into his mind.

Su Jiu knew very well that he had not learned such a feng shui technique from his grandfather, and his family did not have such a feng shui tradition.

In the field of geomancy, feng shui techniques have a clear classification system. The Su family's tradition is "Xiang," which means geomancer.

To give an example of geomancy and feng shui, there are calculations, measurements, observations, geomancers, yang house masters, and earth masters, among others. Geomancers are more inclined towards combat in the field of geomancy and feng shui.

Each type of classification has its own core content.

At this moment, Su Jiu was shocked by this sudden thought that popped into his mind.

"Ah? Not good!" Just as Su Jiu was still in a daze, he suddenly jumped back, as if springing away.

In an instant, he leaped several meters away.

If someone could have seen the situation just now, they would have noticed that a strange aura suddenly attacked the steps where Su Jiu had been standing from all directions.

"What a powerful aura!" Su Jiu, who had just regained his senses, squinted his eyes and looked at the entrance to the fourth-floor staircase.

If he hadn't been on guard, that simple movement of the aura could have seriously injured him.

"It seems the second teaching building is not as simple as I thought." Su Jiu muttered to himself.

The reason Su Jiu dared to boldly enter the second teaching building alone at night was based on his previous judgment that there was nothing sinister in the second teaching building, so the danger was not great.

But he didn't expect that such an event would occur when he stepped into the entrance of the fourth floor.

At this moment, Su Jiu had already made a judgment. As a descendant of the geomancy and feng shui tradition, Su Jiu clearly knew that according to his previous observation of the feng shui layout of the second teaching building, it was a very ordinary place, and such a feng shui aura should not exist.

However, it had already happened, and this was an undeniable fact.

"Could it be a hidden ridge?" Su Jiu's mind suddenly stirred, and another thought popped into his head.

In feng shui, one must know what "ridge head and qi" means! Ridge head refers to the visible analysis of mountains, rivers, and modern buildings and landscapes.

Feng shui emphasizes "form," as "form" can generate "qi," which refers to the aura, and ridge head is the visible feng shui.

In the world, everything has a positive and a negative, a yin and a yang.

And "hidden ridge" refers to the opposite of ridge head.

Actually, Su Jiu knew a little about hidden ridges, but he wasn't very clear about them. Under normal circumstances, Su Jiu wouldn't have thought of this, but at this moment, for some reason, this term suddenly popped into his mind.

The second teaching building, when viewed from the outside, seemed very ordinary, and an ordinary person wouldn't notice anything unusual. However, after Su Jiu entered the second teaching building, the unusual aura he sensed left him puzzled. It wasn't until the term "hidden ridge" popped into his mind that he could explain everything.

"Hidden ridge!" In the field of feng shui, it belongs to a more advanced level. Some houses may look very ordinary and normal, but in reality, they are not. This is just the surface. Under the ground, once changes or structures are influenced by external forces or other reasons, the aura of the hidden ridge will be triggered, forming a unique feng shui layout.

And the current situation of the second teaching building is exactly like this.

Once it reaches midnight, or 11 PM, a black mist aura will envelop the entire teaching building. Ordinary people entering the building will hear abnormal hallucinations, while those who practice feng shui will feel as if they are sinking into a swamp.

The aura generated by the hidden ridge is mostly yin, and it doesn't last long. Once the sun rises and yang energy returns to the earth, the aura will gradually dissipate.

"I didn't expect the second teaching building to have such a feng shui layout. It seems I can't resolve this tonight!" Su Jiu muttered to himself as he began to walk down the stairs.

The few thoughts that had popped into his mind just now made Su Jiu jump. He used his qi to check his body and found no abnormalities.

This was another reason for Su Jiu's previous confusion.

Some knowledge he had never learned suddenly popped into his mind when he encountered a problem, and anyone would be suspicious or puzzled.

Su Jiu was the same at this moment. If the thought in his mind was correct, then the issue with the second teaching building wouldn't be a problem.

The "hidden ridge layout" is generally very complex because such a feng shui layout is formed underground, whether by human or natural means, and it is not easy to resolve.

Although the "hidden ridge" is more harmful to humans, it can severely disrupt one's thinking, leading to nervous breakdowns, or what is commonly known as going crazy.

However, there has always been a rumor about the second teaching building, and students generally do not enter it after 11 PM. The feng shui layout only triggers at night.

So Su Jiu wasn't too worried about this issue.

Feeling the aura, Su Jiu walked down the dark corridor step by step.

He quickly walked out of the second teaching building's corridor.

"Brother, what did you discover?" Just as Su Jiu opened his eyes, a cold voice suddenly asked.
