Chapter 50

The levels of talismans are twelve, corresponding to the six realms of a Feng Shui master.

Cultivating Qi, Observing Qi, Stabilizing Qi, Riding Qi, Cultivating Qi, and Inquiring Qi—these are the six realms of a Feng Shui master.

Su Jiu, currently at the initial stage of Cultivating Qi, can draw second-level talismans, which is an extraordinary feat. If other Feng Shui masters knew, they would be so astonished that their jaws would drop to the ground.

In this era of weak traditions, a typical Feng Shui master can only draw first-level talismans at the mid-stage of Cultivating Qi, which is already quite remarkable.

Not to mention someone like Su Jiu, who is a prodigy.

In the room, Su Jiu entered a focused state from the beginning, and one by one, talismans successfully came to life under his pen.

One, two...

When Su Jiu's inner mental and spiritual energy was depleted, he began to meditate to recover. After recovering, he resumed his state and started drawing talismans again.

The morning passed in this state for Su Jiu.

Time was running out. Once Chen Jie's grandparents' funeral was over, Su Jiu had to deal with the Niu Shen Cave issue.

After all, there were too many uncertain factors in Chen Family Village.

Moreover, according to Uncle Three, Chen Jie's father had already delayed for so long. Now that he has awakened, the time is even more pressing.

If the curse in Chen Family Village really starts to take effect at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Bad news! Bad news! Master Su, my father fainted!" Just as Su Jiu was thinking about this, the door was suddenly burst open, and a young man, a year or two younger than him, rushed in with a panicked expression.

Su Jiu looked closely and recognized the dark-skinned young man as Chen Ming, Uncle Three's only son.

Su Jiu had known this since he entered Uncle Three's house yesterday.

"What happened? Speak slowly," Su Jiu composed himself and said calmly.

In the morning, Uncle Three had told him that today they were going to help Chen Ye's family, Chen Jie's family, invite water. According to the timing, the best time for the water-inviting ceremony was noon, which was right now.

Generally, the water-inviting ceremony should have just ended at this time.

However, Uncle Three's son, Chen Ming, came back out of breath, saying that Uncle Three had fainted.

What was going on? It shouldn't be, why did Uncle Three faint?

It wasn't hot today, and Uncle Three's constitution was very good, with no apparent health issues.

"My father just held the water-inviting ceremony for Jiege's family. He had just walked to the riverbank and hadn't even started the ritual when he suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious, and his face turned pitch black in an instant," Chen Ming said after catching his breath.

As the only Earth Master in Chen Family Village, Uncle Three, who had a family tradition, naturally knew some Feng Shui knowledge. Seeing his father's condition, Chen Ming immediately thought of Su Jiu, who was still at his house.

Chen Ming had seen everything yesterday. Master Su had awakened Jiege's father, who had been in a coma for so long, with just a few moves. Clearly, Master Su was a great master.

Now that his father was in this condition, Chen Ming thought of Su Jiu first.

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Su Jiu's mind raced, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Bad, how could I forget this?" Su Jiu seemed to have realized something, and his heart sank.

"Let's go, take me there quickly," Su Jiu said, his expression tightening.

Indeed, Su Jiu had forgotten an important piece of information.

Although the water-inviting ceremony was an important ritual from the Yanhuang era, and this custom has been passed down to the present day, very few people know how to perform it.

Some of the water-invoking ceremonies in the folk are just a scam.

At the time, when Uncle Three mentioned this in the morning, Su Jiu subconsciously thought the same.

But Su Jiu clearly forgot an important issue.

That is, Uncle Three, the Earth Master of Chen Family Village, was not one of those frauds in the folk. He had his own family tradition, which had lasted for four hundred years.

Four hundred years ago was not like today, when frauds were everywhere. Back then, Feng Shui masters were genuine.

Naturally, the water-invoking ceremony had a real procedure.

As the Earth Master of Chen Family Village, Uncle Three naturally knew how to perform the water-invoking ceremony.

The key issue was precisely here.

The Feng Shui layout of Chen Family Village was a true dragon's lair. Yesterday, Su Jiu had noticed that the Feng Shui layout of Chen Family Village had started to change gradually.

Although these changes were very subtle and had not yet caused significant effects, they were indeed happening.

When the Feng Shui field changes, performing a Feng Shui ritual in that field is extremely dangerous. A slight mistake could lead to a serious crisis.

The ancient water-invoking ceremony, if performed correctly, would naturally cause some changes in the already unstable field.

The root of the problem was clear: Uncle Three was clearly affected by the backlash of Chen Family Village's Feng Shui field.

Su Jiu had already observed Uncle Three's condition.

As the Earth Master of Chen Family Village, Uncle Three had some skills. He had a faint aura in his body, and his realm could be said to have one foot in the door of the Cultivating Qi realm. If nothing went wrong, in four or five years, he would enter the Cultivating Qi realm and become a Feng Shui master.

This was originally a cause for celebration, but now, it was precisely because of this that Uncle Three suffered serious consequences.

The water-invoking ceremony, originating from the Yanhuang era, is not difficult to perform. As long as everything is done according to the procedure, even ordinary people can invite divine water with some effect.

And Uncle Three, being a beginner Feng Shui master, holding such a ceremony would naturally have a significant impact on the Feng Shui layout of Chen Jie's village.

Thinking about this, Su Jiu felt regretful. Such a lapse on his part had caused such consequences.

Fortunately, Uncle Three only fainted at the beginning of the ceremony, so it should not be a big problem.

Su Jiu quickly tidied up the things on the table and hurriedly followed Chen Ming out of the room.

Uncle Three's house was not far from Chen Jie's house.

The water-invoking ceremony is usually held at the nearest live water source to the client's house.

That is, the nearest point to Chen Jie's house along the village river.

Su Jiu quickly arrived at the scene with Chen Ming.

This was a bend in the village river, with many willow trees on both sides.

A crowd was gathered by the river, including Chen Jie's family and relatives, as well as some respected elders from the village.

Some people were speaking loudly...
