Chapter 9: Numerical Techniques Assist, Dragon Falls into the Kun Palace!

Wang Zhong did not become discouraged but instead set up a plum blossom formation on his hand.

Heaven falls into the Kun Palace!

The dragon enters the southwest!

Looking far into the southwest, there was a low-lying area.

From a feng shui perspective, it was a barren land with no clear hall in front and no backing mountain behind. How could there be a true dragon's lair?

Although Wang Zhong had doubts, he did not hesitate.

He quickly arrived at the low-lying area he had seen from the hilltop.

Wang Zhong stood quietly in the center of the low-lying area, his pores opening naturally as he carefully sensed the flow of the earth's qi.

As a master of internal martial arts, Wang Zhong had an advantage that most feng shui masters lacked—he could clearly feel the flow of the earth's qi.

Although there was the presence of earth's qi here, it was not as strong as he had imagined.

In feng shui terms, this could at most be considered a minor site. An ordinary person buried here could be blessed with wealth and status, perhaps accumulating a few million in savings.

While it was a decent site, it fell far short of Wang Zhong's requirements.

After all, the Chek Lap Kok Police Station was a government department responsible for combating crime and maintaining public order. For the peace and stability of Hong Kong, its feng shui layout had to be grand.

This site had a feeling of being a small, refined place.

Wang Zhong unhesitatingly discarded it.

In feng shui, "sha" is a professional term. The Book of Burial says that a height of one inch is sand, and a depth of one inch is water.

Around the site were several small hills, encircling the eye of the site. They seemed like wanderers yearning for their mother or fish paying homage to their leader. The hills were lush and green, with grass and trees, clearly a rare and excellent sand.

Wanderers yearning for their mother, fish paying homage to their leader!

Affectionate sand!

Wang Zhong placed a compass on the site and used the 28-star method to redefine the five elements of the surrounding sand.

The five elements of the site were Jia Wood, while the five elements of the sand were Geng Metal.

They were all official sand!

The element that overcomes me is the official, a highly inauspicious type of sand.

Even the best layout could not be used. Burial here would bring early wealth but late misfortune, and could even endanger future generations.

Wang Zhong made this judgment in his mind.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of a possibility!

Whenever a great dragon forms a site, it leaves a false site to obstruct the world's scrutiny.

This site was likely a false one!

The true site must be nearby!

Thinking of this possibility, Wang Zhong's eyes lit up with excitement!

He took out a dragon-seeking ruler from his tool bag, held it flat in his hand, and focused his mind, becoming like a stone or a tree, perfectly blending with the natural environment.

Wang Zhong did not know how long he stood there. The sun had set, and the stars shone like silver.

The dragon-seeking ruler in Wang Zhong's hand suddenly moved strangely!

Finally found it!

After more than two hours of waiting, Wang Zhong finally caught a trace of the dragon's pulse!

Following the guidance of the dragon-seeking ruler, he moved forward slowly.

When he reached a flat area, the ruler began to swing continuously.

Wang Zhong also felt an unprecedented vitality emanating from the ground beneath his feet. The grass and trees around him were noticeably greener and more robust than elsewhere.

Looking up at the stars, the seventh star of the Big Dipper, Po Jun, faintly pointed to this place. The starlight and earth's qi blended in the air, and even a layman would notice that the seventh star of the Big Dipper was particularly bright.

Corresponding to the celestial stars!

Above this place, Po Jun was in position. Po Jun represents power and official positions, and is the guardian star of military officials. It is the best choice for the police station's guardian star.

There is a saying: "First-rate masters study the stars, second-rate masters examine the water mouths, and third-rate masters walk the mountains."

Truly great sites are all in correspondence with the stars, illuminated by starlight.

The ancestors of feng shui masters summarized this principle into "Celestial Star Feng Shui," using the study of star patterns to achieve the purpose of geomancy.

The water mouth is the source of a large area's qi. By examining the Heavenly Gate and Earthly Gate, one can determine the quality of a large area. This is a highly profound field, with hundreds of volumes of specialized works.

The lowest-level masters find the dragon's vein and the treasure site through persistent searching and exploring the mountains and fields. It takes three years to find the dragon and ten years to pinpoint the site!

Of course, "three years to find the dragon and ten years to pinpoint the site" also means that it takes ten years of study to become a qualified feng shui master.

Three years of study can only help you find the dragon's vein, but to pinpoint the treasure site, you need ten years of hard work!

The terrain of Chek Lap Kok was somewhat special, with the dragon's vein hidden and the treasure site concealed.

Whether using the method of observing the stars or the water mouth, it was difficult to be effective. Wang Zhong did not have ten years to search, so he used numerical techniques.

The compass showed that the surrounding sand was lush and affectionate.

It was similar to the previous false site but would definitely be a world apart.

All signs indicated that this was the place where the dragon's vein formed the site!

There was a site under his feet, and it was a major one!

Wang Zhong's expression instantly became excited, and the fatigue of the day vanished.

He carefully took out an oil lamp from his backpack. The flame was extinguished by the cool sea breeze.

But when he placed the oil lamp on the ground, the flame burned steadily, as if there was no air movement.

"Excellent! This is the place!"

Wang Zhong nodded in satisfaction. The essence of feng shui can be summarized in four words: "conceal the wind and gather the qi." There is no air movement above a true site.

Especially not strong winds!

Experienced feng shui masters often go out to examine sites on rainy or snowy days, as that is the most intuitive time.

Because the water above the site is almost still.

He carefully inserted a dragon-taming nail and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The dragon-taming nail is made of peach wood, inscribed with talismans, and has a sharp point. It can easily be driven into the soil or rock crevices. The tail of the dragon-taming nail has a red cloth strip about the length of a palm, making it very visible in open areas and grass.

The purpose of the dragon-taming nail is to mark the site, so it is not lost or forgotten.

Of course, there are also legends that it is used to fix the true dragon, so it does not escape. According to legend, the dragon's vein is a living thing, capable of being large or small, hidden or flying.

If not fixed by a dragon-taming nail, the dragon's vein would soon escape!

Although Wang Zhong did not believe these legends, he still inserted the dragon-taming nail, as finding a site only a foot square in such an open area in Chek Lap Kok was a very difficult task!

"Tomorrow, at sunrise, I will come to set the direction for you."

Wang Zhong looked at the stars and his stomach growled inappropriately. He smiled bitterly and decided to set the direction when the sky was bright the next day.

Finding the dragon, pinpointing the site, and setting the direction!

These are the three tests that determine a feng shui master's skill level!

Finding the dragon and pinpointing the site are often mentioned, but setting the direction is rarely discussed!

However, any competent feng shui master knows that the quality of the site depends on setting the direction!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the essence of feng shui lies in setting the direction!

A slight deviation can result in a lack, and a slight excess can result in an overabundance!

The amount of blessings the client can receive from the dragon's site depends entirely on the feng shui master's skill in setting the direction!

In the industry, it is said that skill is seen in the smallest details!

The Chek Lap Kok Police Station is different from ordinary residences because it affects millions of ordinary people in Hong Kong. Wang Zhong naturally did not dare to be careless!

It was already late, and after a day of travel, Wang Zhong was exhausted. Only someone with his martial arts background could endure such fatigue; an ordinary feng shui master would have collapsed long ago!

This is also why ordinary feng shui masters need several days to complete an examination!

Returning to his residence, Wang Zhong quickly washed up and soon fell asleep.

He dreamed of countless mountains, as if they had come to life, no longer lifeless stones but living beings.

The mountains were like lions crouching, tigers leaping, long snakes coiling, or rhinoceroses gazing at the moon.

Each mountain had a unique spirit.

Not a divine spirit, but a spiritual essence!

One could not help but marvel at the ingenuity of nature!

Wang Zhong suddenly had a moment of enlightenment, though he did not know what he had understood, something in his heart seemed to open.

As if a heavy burden had been lifted, his mind felt inexplicably light!

Seeing mountains is not seeing mountains, seeing water is not seeing water!

A strange dream had allowed Wang Zhong to grasp a bit of the true essence of mountains and water!

Buddhists speak of sudden enlightenment, and is feng shui any different?

Some feng shui masters are still at the beginner level even in their old age, while others may reach the hall of mastery in just a few years!

It is not a matter of unfairness, but of opportunity!

Wang Zhong's knowledge of feng shui in his previous life was very solid, and he had used the convenience of the internet to memorize many secrets that were once closely guarded by various schools.

His learning was as diverse and extensive as that of famous masters like Chen Bo and Lin Boxiong.

However, because he lacked personal insight, his knowledge was like scattered beads, lacking a silver thread to connect them.

Today, through the examination of the dragon's vein, Wang Zhong's knowledge was verified, and many vague areas became clear. By chance, his realm advanced significantly!

Of course, he was still far from the realm of a master who sees mountains as mountains and water as water!

The closest master to modern times who achieved this realm lived in the Qing Dynasty!

With billions of people in China, there has been no master for a hundred years!

This shows the difficulty of reaching the master's realm, requiring effort, talent, and opportunity!
