Chapter 97

PS: Thank you to "77 Polar Bear" for the generous tip. I'm still asking for favorites and recommendation tickets.

Su Jiu calmed down his emotions.

He looked at the middle-aged man lying on the bunk again.

After observing carefully for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Needle Suspension Lines?"

Su Jiu murmured to himself.

Indeed, Su Jiu did not get an answer from the woman and thought for a moment, deciding to examine the middle-aged man's face.

In physiognomy, the forehead is a very important area, governing a person's career and longevity.

The good or bad aspects reflected by the forehead can be used to predict a person's fortune and misfortune from the most basic physiognomy, and similarly, can also be used to judge a person's aura.

The middle-aged man lying on the bunk had a vertical line between his eyebrows, right in the center, extending from top to bottom. This is called a Needle Suspension Line, also known as the Heavenly Pillar Line. This line appears when a person's body and mind are continuously fatigued. People with this line have a strong personality and are very competitive.

When faced with problems, they always take on the responsibility alone, usually keeping the issues to themselves.

The Needle Suspension Line is a common line, especially among middle-aged people around forty. Generally, this line appears on the forehead, indicating dissatisfaction and long-term suppression. Over time, this can lead to a buildup of depression, which cannot be released, thus forming this line.

The explanation of the Needle Suspension Line in feng shui is actually quite scientific. This line signifies hardship.

Thinking about this, Su Jiu was taken aback.

The woman had said that nothing unusual had happened at home before getting on the train.

Clearly, the woman was unaware.

The middle-aged man must have encountered something, but he didn't say it.

Just as Su Jiu was about to continue examining the middle-aged man's face, he suddenly paused.

"Mountain Technique?"

Su Jiu exclaimed in surprise, his face full of shock.

"Little Master, what did you say?" The woman, hearing Su Jiu's surprised voice, asked nervously.

"Nothing."

Su Jiu calmed down his surprised emotions, squinted his eyes, and stared intently at the middle-aged man's face.

It was actually the Mountain Technique!

Su Jiu's shock was indescribable.

Many people have heard of the Miao ethnic group's poison technique and the Southeast Asian black magic, but few know that in the world of feng shui, there is also a mysterious technique that can cause a person to lose their life without anyone knowing.

Taoism has five techniques: Mountain, Medicine, Destiny, Physiognomy, and Divination.

The Mountain Technique in feng shui originates from the Mountain method of Taoism and is called the Mountain Technique in the feng shui tradition.

Feng shui has always been comprehensive.

In China, feng shui is considered a gem of Chinese culture.

Naturally, feng shui includes some of the essence of Taoism.

The Mountain Technique is one of these. The Mountain Technique originates from Taoist cultivation techniques, allowing Taoist disciples to transcend ordinary abilities and solidify the status of Taoism.

The reason Su Jiu knew about the Mountain Technique was from the golden compass in his mind.

In his mind, on the golden compass, among the more than a hundred characters, about a third of the golden characters describe the Mountain Technique, which occupies a significant proportion.

Based on his understanding, one must at least reach the Qi Observation realm to cultivate the Mountain Technique, and he himself was only at the Qi Cultivation realm, which was why Su Jiu was surprised.

The middle-aged man lying on the bunk was clearly an ordinary person, yet he had been affected by the Mountain Technique. No wonder his aura was so strange.

"Hmm, it's actually a talisman!" Su Jiu had been observing the middle-aged man.

His doubts continued. According to logic, an ordinary person affected by the Mountain Technique would have no hope of recovery. However, he had easily dispelled the negative energy using his mental power, which left Su Jiu puzzled.

However, the unexpected discovery just now made Su Jiu understand.

The Mountain Technique is a general term. The orthodox Mountain Technique requires the Qi Observation realm to cultivate. The power of the Mountain Technique is not to be underestimated, such as the corpse control technique in Western Hunan, which is not about controlling ordinary corpses but those with special abilities, and this corpse control technique is a type of Mountain Technique.

There is also the puppet control technique seen on TV, which can control a person using an item from their body, and this is also a type of Mountain Technique.

These Mountain Techniques are extremely powerful, and their mysterious methods should not be underestimated. A single mistake can easily lead to trouble.

However, the offshoots of the Mountain Technique, such as talismans, do not have such high requirements.

Talismans are not the same as talismanic scripts; there is a distinction between the two.

Although the talisman technique originates from the Mountain Technique of Taoism, it is not orthodox and also incorporates some elements of witchcraft, similar to the curses of witchcraft.

In China, with its five thousand years of history, there are countless cultural essences. These brilliant knowledge often give people a sense of mystery, such as the profession of a feng shui master.

Ordinary people think that feng shui masters just look at the feng shui of houses, but in fact, the profession of a feng shui master encompasses much more.

I won't elaborate on this, as it's a side topic.

Su Jiu's furrowed brows relaxed. Since he knew the root cause, there was no need to worry.

It was just a talisman, and he had been worried for nothing.

Indeed, when he first saw the Mountain Technique, Su Jiu's shock was indescribable. After all, the basic requirement for the orthodox Mountain Technique is the Qi Observation realm, and he was just a Qi Cultivation realm practitioner.

He had easily dispelled the other person's technique, which naturally meant he had ruined their plans. If the other person came after him, he would be in serious trouble.

Fortunately, it was all a false alarm.

Now that he thought about it, if it were really the Mountain Technique, would it have been so easy to dispel?

Thinking about this, Su Jiu couldn't help but smile.

"Big Sister, there's nothing wrong with Big Brother. He will wake up in about an hour. I think Big Brother must have offended someone recently, and they used a technique on him, but it's fine now."

Having figured everything out, Su Jiu prepared to rest in the compartment.

He still had a lot to do to prepare for his grandfather's birthday celebration.

"Thank you, Little Master. This is a small token of my appreciation. I wonder if Little Master could leave a phone number!" The woman, hearing Su Jiu's words, immediately felt relieved. She quickly took out a stack of bills from her bag, which looked to be at least two or three thousand, and handed them to Su Jiu.

"Thank you, Big Sister. Here is my phone number."

Su Jiu hesitated for a moment but still accepted the money from the woman.

From their attire, the couple's financial situation seemed to be decent. Su Jiu didn't care much about money, but considering the cause and effect, he still accepted the money from the woman.

Even if the cause and effect were minor, Su Jiu didn't want to provoke them.

This was an instinct of a feng shui master and an unwritten custom.
