The next day!
In the Sunshine Hotel, Qin Yu continued to sit in his original position. Unlike yesterday when no one recognized him, today quite a few feng shui masters came up to greet him, especially those sitting on either side of him, as they all got to know each other.
Obviously, Qin Yu's performance yesterday had won their recognition, truly acknowledging his status as a feng shui master.
Mo Yongxin and her group, as usual, sat in the guest seats, including Liu Shun Tian, who also sat with them. The only one missing was Meng Fang, whose seat was taken by Tong Min.
As per tradition, the morning was the time for feng shui masters to exchange ideas. With the opening from yesterday, everyone was very enthusiastic about raising various questions, and the atmosphere on the scene was quite lively. Qin Yu also joined these discussions. After his impressive debut yesterday, the other feng shui masters would seriously consider Qin Yu's words.
"Colleagues, I have a question today. A while ago, a feng shui friend of mine, at the request of a benefactor, went to help find a feng shui treasure spot. After nearly five months, he suddenly called me, excitedly telling me that he had found the true dragon treasure spot, and that he had no regrets in life."
"However, just two days after he called me, after burying the benefactor's father, my friend died suddenly at home. The benefactor also had a car accident, though he didn't die, he became disabled. I found the pictures my friend took of the treasure spot he chose for the benefactor. From the pictures, this place is indeed a rare true dragon treasure spot, as my friend said. Could it be that the true dragon cannot be easily pointed out, or else it will surely bring divine retribution?"
The man speaking took out a stack of photos from his bag and handed them to Lin Qiusheng, who was seated at the head of the table, then returned to his seat.
The man's words made the entire room fall silent, with everyone's eyes fixed on Lin Qiusheng. Lin Qiusheng frowned as he flipped through the photos. When he saw the eighth photo, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise and passed the photo to the elderly man surnamed Xiao: "Old Xiao, take a closer look at this photo."
The elderly man surnamed Xiao looked at his friend with confusion, then focused on the photo, examining it carefully. The longer he looked, the tighter his frown became, and eventually, his face showed a look of shock. He then passed the photo to Pang Guang.
Without a doubt, Pang Guang's reaction was the same as Lin Qiusheng's and the elderly man surnamed Xiao. This piqued the curiosity of the other feng shui masters, wondering what could cause such a reaction from these three.
"Qiusheng, put this photo on the projector and enlarge it so everyone can see," the elderly man surnamed Xiao suggested, seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces. There were about two hundred feng shui masters here, and passing the photos around one by one would take until the afternoon. Since there was already a projector, enlarging the photo would save a lot of time.
This exchange room was specifically designed by the Sunshine Hotel for units and associations to hold exchange seminars. A large projection screen hung on the far wall, and a projector was placed next to the round table.
Soon, the hotel staff, following Lin Qiusheng's instructions, input the photo into the computer. Everyone looked at the projection screen with curiosity, eager to see what could cause such a reaction from the three of them.
As the staff pressed the switch, the lights in the room dimmed, and only the projector's beam illuminated the large screen. A green mountain appeared on it.
The overall contour of the green mountain was winding and long, with its peak towering like an emperor over the entire mountain range, standing out uniquely. On either side were two other green mountains, like guards flanking a king, making it appear even more majestic.
In front of the green mountain was a large green lake. From a distance, the entire green mountain's shadow was reflected in the lake, with a clear water surface and a dragon-like shape, making it a true feng shui treasure spot.
Even the guests who didn't know much about feng shui nodded and discussed the place, as the overall feeling of the green mountain was grand and majestic, with a green lake surrounding it, making it look like a feng shui treasure spot.
Qin Yu's eyes were also fixed on the green mountain. Although it looked like a treasure spot on the surface, he felt that the mountain looked eerie, lacking the grandeur of a true dragon vein.
"This is indeed a feng shui treasure spot!"
"Yes, it's rare to see such a place nowadays. The dragon's head is raised, and its body is submerged in water, making it a true treasure spot."
Compared to the guests, the feng shui masters examined the place more carefully. Some even started drawing lines, searching for the treasure spot on the green mountain.
Most of the feng shui masters believed that the green mountain was indeed a feng shui treasure spot, but a few frowned and remained silent. Qin Yu, Xu Cheng, and Fan Mu had serious expressions, carefully examining the place.
Lin Qiusheng, the elderly man surnamed Xiao, and Pang Guang looked at the feng shui masters, shaking their heads in helplessness. Only when they noticed Qin Yu, Xu Cheng, and Fan Mu did their eyes show a glimmer of hope.
"Resembling a true dragon, yet harming the benefactor and the feng shui master, what kind of place is this?" Qin Yu's mind began to work, and soon his eyes became clear. Finally, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his face showed the same shock as Lin Qiusheng's earlier, and he couldn't help but say:
"Killing Master's Land!"
Qin Yu's voice was not loud, but Xu Cheng, sitting opposite him, heard it clearly. The smile on his face disappeared instantly when he heard Qin Yu's words. After examining the photo carefully, he turned to Qin Yu with a puzzled look.
"Killing Master's Land?"
Not only Xu Cheng, but a feng shui master next to him also heard Qin Yu's words and couldn't help but shout, "Whoosh!" All the feng shui masters in the room turned their eyes to him.
"This is what Master Qin said." The feng shui master, feeling uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, pointed to Qin Yu.
Everyone's eyes then turned to Qin Yu, then back to the photo, shifting between the two. Many people's faces turned grim, and the atmosphere in the room became tense.
"What is Killing Master's Land? Can it really kill teachers or masters?" Mo Yongxin, seeing the feng shui masters' expressions, asked in confusion.
"It can kill people, but not teachers or masters, but feng shui masters."
Li Weijun, with an agitated expression, answered, trembling:
"Feng shui masters have three killers: Killing Master's Time, Killing Master's Day, and Killing Master's Land. It is said that feng shui masters who find a treasure spot during Killing Master's Time will die suddenly, and those who use the compass to determine the direction on Killing Master's Day will face misfortune. If a feng shui master points out a treasure spot on Killing Master's Land and buries the benefactor, the master will die within three days, and the benefactor's family will also suffer misfortune."
"So sinister!" Mo Yongxin looked at Li Weijun, finding it hard to believe that pointing out a treasure spot on certain days or in certain places could lead to sudden death.
"Don't disbelieve it. I once had a feng shui consultant who pointed out a Killing Master's Land and collapsed on the spot. Before he fainted, he muttered, 'I can pass through Killing Master's Time, but I can't escape Killing Master's Land!'"
After saying this, he fell unconscious. By the time he was taken to the hospital, he was already dead.
Li Weijun's words made everyone who didn't know about Killing Master's Land feel a chill down their spines. It was as if an invisible hand controlled the fate of feng shui masters, and once they violated certain taboos, they would be crushed.
"Mr. Li, how can we resolve the issue if we encounter Killing Master's Land?" Zhang Hua asked from the side.
"There is no way to resolve it. No matter how powerful a feng shui master is, if they point out a treasure spot on Killing Master's Land, they will surely die," Li Weijun explained, sharing all the information he had gathered after his feng shui consultant's death.
"Old wood does not decay, standing without restraint, heaven and earth are impartial, and geography has proof."
The "Feng Shui Taboos" chapter in the Zhuge Nei Jing mentions the three killers: Killing Master's Time, Killing Master's Day, and Killing Master's Land. There is a star in the sky called Luo Hou, also known as the Erosion God. When Luo Hou appears, feng shui masters should not seek treasure spots, or they will face death.
Luo Hou moves in the opposite direction of the sun, moon, and five planets, making it easy for feng shui masters to avoid Killing Master's Time and Killing Master's Day. The truly terrifying one is Killing Master's Land, which is primarily about terrain. It often resembles a dragon's nest but is actually a centipede nest, snake nest, or dragonfly nest. It can only be determined by the feng shui master's judgment. If they misjudge it as a dragon's nest, they will face death.
Qin Yu had just recalled this chapter from the Zhuge Nei Jing, realizing that the green mountain might be a Killing Master's Land. After careful observation, he found that although the mountain's ridge was high, a section of it resembled a sword's spine, a characteristic of Killing Master's Land: the Sword Ridge Dragon, also known as the Killing Master's Dragon.
The mountain ridge was like a sword, and the dragon's body carried stones. Qin Yu was certain that this was a Killing Master's Land.
Don't think that Killing Master's Land is easy to recognize. Qin Yu could draw this conclusion because he was working backward from the results. With this in mind, he could see some differences in the green mountain.
PS: I came back late from overtime today, so this chapter was written a bit slowly. Sorry about that. A gentle reminder: Have you voted for today's recommendation?
