This destruction is not only of the dragon veins but also of the foundation of the Chinese land.
The dragon veins of the Chinese land are the foundation. The formation of a dragon vein often takes thousands, even tens of thousands of years to gradually form.
It is commonly said that there are countless dragon veins in the world, but this "countless" does not mean what it literally suggests; it just means that there are many dragon veins, which is not entirely accurate.
Dragon veins have distinctions in size and importance.
Starting from the Kunlun Mountains, thirty-one main dragon veins extend, covering the Chinese land.
There are thirty-two main dragon veins in the world, combined with the Nine Tripods of the world, which have shaped the destiny of China.
When Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the world, to maintain his rule, he once did a major thing: he buried thirty-two dragon-suppressing pillars in various dragon vein locations across the Chinese land to ensure the eternal stability of his empire.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang had a shaman with profound knowledge of feng shui, who told him that as long as the thirty-two main dragon veins were suppressed, the dynasty could last for a thousand years.
What is mentioned here is precisely these thirty-two main dragon veins.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang was very moved when he heard this and immediately summoned feng shui masters from all over the country to complete this grand feat.
If things had gone as Emperor Qin Shi Huang imagined, the Qin Dynasty would have lasted at least a thousand years.
However, among these feng shui masters, there were some who were not willing to comply.
They were not willing to follow Emperor Qin Shi Huang's orders.
If they really did this, although Emperor Qin Shi Huang's dynasty could last a thousand years, the destiny of China would become extremely weak.
This concerns the livelihood and future of millions of people.
This is the reason why.
The thirty-two main dragon veins of the world were not successfully suppressed.
How could the army, which was casually supervising at the time, see through the feng shui masters' methods?
Therefore, the Qin Dynasty ultimately only lasted for so long.
Of course, this is a later story, and we will not go into detail for now.
The suppression of the dragon veins by Emperor Qin Shi Huang is not recorded in historical records. Su Jiu knows this because it is recorded on the golden compass in his mind.
Su Jiu knows that the dragon vein in front of him, although not one of the thirty-two main dragon veins, is not far from them.
Originally, Su Jiu thought that there was only a problem with the feng shui layout of the Chen family village.
But seeing the current situation, Su Jiu realizes that it is not as simple as he imagined.
This probably concerns the future of the entire Dafang County.
The development of Dafang County to its current state, with such a huge wealth gap, is likely related to this, Su Jiu thought to himself.
What makes Su Jiu so angry is the huge square vertical coffin in front of him.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang only suppressed the dragon veins at the time, but the vertical coffin in front of him is actually destroying the dragon vein.
This is the reason for Su Jiu's anger.
Who could have set up such a vast feng shui layout, and why here?
What is the purpose and reason for doing this?
At this moment, Su Jiu's mind is filled with doubts.
The tomb of King Liang Xiao appeared during the Han Dynasty.
History spans over two thousand years.
"Wait a moment..."
Su Jiu suddenly paused, a thought suddenly appearing in his mind.
"No, no!" Su Jiu muttered.
At this moment, Su Jiu was deeply shocked.
Previously, he had judged the size of the dragon vein through his mental perception and concluded that it was not one of the thirty-two main dragon veins.
But he had forgotten one important point.
That is, this dragon vein has been damaged for over two thousand years and is far from its original state. A dragon vein could last for over two thousand years under this feng shui array.
"Whoa!" Su Jiu sharply inhaled a cold breath.
Thinking about this, Su Jiu was even more shocked.
This is definitely a main dragon vein. If it were a branch dragon vein, it would not have lasted for over two thousand years without dissipating.
"Which main dragon vein is this?" The doubt in Su Jiu's mind resurfaced.
What happened today is far beyond his expectations.
For a moment, Su Jiu did not know what to do and just stood there in a daze.
"The reason for the changes in the feng shui layout of the Chen family village is probably here. Now that the source of the dragon vein is damaged, these changes will gradually occur, and one day, when the dragon vein disappears, this place will become a barren desert," Su Jiu thought.
These consequences are not exaggerated. There are historical records of similar events.
Initially, in the western part of China, now known as the Taklamakan Desert, the largest desert in China, it is inferred from ancient records that it formed because the dragon vein disappeared and could no longer nourish the land.
This is just an example and does not mean that the result will definitely be the same, but the consequences of the disappearance of the dragon vein are certainly severe.
The source of the dragon vein in front of him still appears quite strong, much stronger than ordinary branch dragon veins, but compared to the main dragon veins, it is a world apart.
Historical records state that the thirty-two dragon veins of China do not mean that there are only thirty-two main dragon veins in the entire Chinese land, but rather that these thirty-two dragon veins are the largest known through exploration.
Some are deeply buried underground or in remote areas, and their strength is not inferior to the main dragon veins.
The one in front of him is one of them. After over two thousand years, it has become like this. One can imagine how grand the scale of this dragon vein was over two thousand years ago.
"Inverted vertical coffin..." Su Jiu lowered his head and pondered.
Indeed, Su Jiu is currently thinking about how to resolve the current situation.
The purpose of coming to the ancient tomb is to break this feng shui layout.
Whether it is the destruction of the Chen family village or the destruction of the dragon vein, any feng shui master who encounters this situation and has the ability would try to resolve it.
Su Jiu walked around the square stone pillar a few times, his brows furrowed.
"Breaking the inverted vertical coffin and the dragon-suppressing pillar is not difficult, but the challenge lies in how to withstand the dragon's resentment," Su Jiu thought to himself.
The dragon vein is a spiritual entity of heaven and earth, not an ordinary thing. Even if it is suppressed, it will have immense resentment.
It is said that after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, half of the feng shui masters returned to the places where the dragon veins were suppressed to lift the seals and try to restore the vitality of the Chinese land.
But no one knows that only a few of these feng shui masters survived, while the rest were killed by the immense dragon resentment.
This is just after being suppressed for a few decades. The dragon vein in front of him has been devastated for two thousand years. Once the dragon-suppressing pillar is broken, there will be a massive surge of dragon resentment. This is not just a simple yin energy; it is the true resentment of the dragon vein. One mistake, and not only would Su Jiu himself be unable to withstand it, but the entire Chen family village would be crushed to death by this dragon resentment.
Su Jiu is just a small practitioner at the middle Qi-cultivation stage. For him to accomplish such a task is fundamentally impossible.
However, this task must be done.
The effort and the reward are proportional.
If he can resolve such a feng shui layout, the benefits he will gain will be astonishing.
Without mentioning other karmic consequences, just the dragon qi that the dragon vein will release after being freed is astonishing.
It is said that after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the few feng shui masters who survived the breaking of the dragon-suppressing pillars eventually became towering figures.
The benefits of the dragon qi are indescribable.
There is no need to prove anything; just the dragon qi that Su Jiu absorbed earlier allowed him to break through the restriction and reach the middle Qi-cultivation stage in a moment.
The dragon qi he absorbed is just a tiny fraction of the dragon vein's source in front of him.
In fact, there is an even greater benefit: gaining the recognition of a dragon vein is equivalent to gaining the recognition of all the dragon veins in China, which will bring immense benefits in the future.
Su Jiu's mind was rapidly working.
Before resolving the current situation, he must find a way to deal with the dragon resentment, and his brows furrowed even more.
While Su Jiu was deep in thought.
In the Chen family village, Uncle San, who was next to the Niu Shen Cave, was also furious.
"Old Chen, it was my idea to bring Master Su in. Don't say anything more. I will take full responsibility for any consequences, and I will not involve the Chen family village," Uncle San shouted, looking sternly at the few elderly men with white hair in front of him.
"Take full responsibility? Can you really take full responsibility? Little San, do you remember the ancestral instructions of the Chen family? Don't break the rules just because you are the feng shui master of the Chen family village," the leading elder, Old Chen, said.
"Old Chen, you are an elder in the village. Haven't you noticed the changes in the Chen family village over the past few decades? Even if Master Su does not agree, do you think the Chen family village can last much longer?" Uncle San said, his face filled with agitation.
It turns out that Uncle San had been guarding the entrance of the Niu Shen Cave since Su Jiu went down. He actually knew a lot more about the Niu Shen Cave but did not reveal it.
If Master Su could not even pass through the illusionary array, he would not be able to solve the problem.
Uncle San still had hope for Su Jiu.
He had been waiting at the cave entrance for Su Jiu.
However, a short while ago, the few remaining respected elders in the village somehow got the news and came here.
Thus, the scene in front of him occurred.
"Little San, if Master Su cannot resolve the problem and we lose control, do you know what we will face? The entire Chen family village will be buried. Have you thought about the consequences? Have you?" Old Chen hesitated for a moment after hearing Uncle San's words, but then became even more agitated and angry.
Old Chen was very agitated by Uncle San's private actions. The future of the Chen family village was being entrusted to a stranger.
For Old Chen, this was completely unacceptable.
