Chapter 93

Everyone's gaze turned to Lin Qiusheng, waiting for him to reveal the final outcome.

Lin Qiusheng first sized up Xu Cheng for a while, then looked at Fan Mu and said, "Master Dashan indeed has a way to solve the problem of the Five Elements Absolute Metal."

"How is that possible? There is no way to solve the Five Elements Absolute Metal." Fan Mu still didn't believe it, standing up and staring intently at Lin Qiusheng, as if suspecting the latter of lying.

"This is the truth; Master Dashan indeed solved the problem of the Five Elements Absolute Metal." Lin Qiusheng repeated.

"The Five Elements Absolute Metal is a congenital destiny, which cannot be changed by any means. Since you say Master Dashan solved this destiny, tell us how he did it." Fan Mu's face was unpredictable, his eyes bulging. He still didn't believe that anyone could solve the Five Elements Absolute Metal destiny, and his tone towards Lin Qiusheng was no longer polite.

Lin Qiusheng remained expressionless and said calmly, "I will explain this in a moment."

Fan Mu was left speechless by Lin Qiusheng's calm response and could only wave his sleeve in frustration and sit down angrily.

"After learning that the homeowner had the congenital destiny of the Five Elements Absolute Metal, I studied why Master Dashan arranged the house in such a way. This led me to a line of thought. Has anyone seen the photo of the bedroom? Did you find the arrangement of the furniture in the bedroom very strange? All the furniture is not against the walls."

Everyone nodded. They had felt something was off about the bedroom's arrangement, but they couldn't pinpoint the reason.

"To understand why Master Dashan arranged the bedroom this way, I read many feng shui books and even invited a few friends to study together. Master Pang and Master Xiao were the friends I invited at that time."

Lin Qiusheng pointed to the two people beside him. The old man surnamed Xiao stood up and nodded, saying, "That's right. When Qiusheng found me, he said a house was designed by Master Dashan, and he wasn't sure about it, so he invited me to check it out. As you all know, the Jin Suo Yu Guan school has always been very mysterious, and Master Dashan is a great feng shui master. When I heard that the house was designed by Master Dashan, I immediately went with Old Pang to Qiusheng's place."

After the old man surnamed Xiao finished speaking, Pang Guang also stood up and continued, "We three studied this house for half a year before we finally understood the meaning behind Master Dashan's layout."

The feng shui masters looked at the three elders standing up. They were several of the most renowned masters in the southern feng shui community. It took the combined efforts of these three masters half a year to understand Master Dashan's layout, which must have been incredibly ingenious.

Of course, this was also related to their age. At that time, the three masters were only around forty years old, and their feng shui skills were not as profound as they are now. Nevertheless, everyone still admired Master Dashan, who was indeed the foremost figure of the Jin Suo Yu Guan school in modern times.

"After our joint research, we finally came to a conclusion: Master Dashan used the method of transforming the Five Elements to solve the problem of the Five Elements Absolute Metal."

"Human beings have the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The Five Elements generate and control each other, forming a person's aura. In most cases, if a person lacks one of the Five Elements, we try to supplement it. But in the case of the Five Elements Absolute Metal, Master Dashan used the method of transforming the Five Elements, completely transforming the homeowner's Five Elements, making them no longer distinguishable as Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth. This is a grand gesture!" Pang Guang sighed, but he didn't realize how much of an impact his words had on the feng shui masters present. The Five Elements are the foundation of a person. Since they entered the feng shui field, they had been taught the principles of the Five Elements by their seniors. If a person lost their Five Elements attributes, they couldn't survive.

"We understand your feelings. When we first came to this conclusion, even we didn't want to believe it. How could anyone transform the Five Elements? Isn't that harmful?"

Lin Qiusheng observed everyone's expressions and understood their doubts. When they first came to this conclusion, they were also shocked. If it weren't for the fact that the house was designed by the reputable Master Dashan, they would have thought it was a feng shui master with a grudge against the homeowner.

"Qin Yu wrote the word 'empty' on the answer sheet, and this 'empty' is the method Master Dashan used to transform the Five Elements." Lin Qiusheng mentioned Qin Yu again. Qin Yu was already numb to it; he didn't mind being pushed into the spotlight.

"From the arrangement of the bedroom, we can summarize it as the word 'empty.' This 'empty' does not mean empty as in empty space, but rather empty as in floating in the air. You may not know that, according to the homeowner, Master Dashan pasted talismans on all four walls of the bedroom and spent seven days and nights arranging them before the homeowner moved in. Master Dashan instructed the homeowner that none of the furniture could be placed against the walls, and they must sleep there every night for ten years."

"The Five Elements Transformation Talisman, Master Dashan must be a Sixth-Rank Master." Qin Yu's eyes flashed with insight. He understood the purpose of Master Dashan's layout, but he was still a bit puzzled about how Master Dashan transformed the homeowner's Five Elements. The layout he saw was not enough to achieve this.

Now, hearing Lin Qiusheng's words, Qin Yu finally understood how Master Dashan did it. It was through the use of talismans. In the Zhuge Inner Canon, there is a mention of a talisman called the Sixth-Rank Dao Talisman: the Five Elements Transformation Talisman.

The function of this talisman is to transform a person's Five Elements. This is the only way to solve the problem of the Five Elements Absolute Metal.

As Fan Mu said, a person with the Five Elements Absolute Metal is like a place where five doors were originally placed, but now four larger doors occupy the space, leaving no room for the fifth door.

The only solution is to break the four doors and then reassemble them into five doors. Breaking and reassembling the Five Elements is a method that can be called reversing fate. Qin Yu was deeply impressed by Master Dashan's skill, worthy of being a Sixth-Rank Master.

"We were all very curious about the talismans inside the walls, but since they were in the wall's inner layer, we couldn't see them. However, we found a talisman called the Five Elements Transformation Talisman in a Daoist scripture. According to the scripture, this talisman can only be made by a Heavenly Master. If these talismans are laid out in a circle, the Five Elements attributes of the person inside the circle will gradually be transformed. We showed the homeowner the diagram of the Five Elements Transformation Talisman from the scripture, and the homeowner immediately recognized that Master Dashan had pasted this talisman inside the walls."

Lin Qiusheng's words confirmed Qin Yu's suspicions. The talismans were indeed the Five Elements Transformation Talisman. The so-called Heavenly Master level seemed to be equivalent to the Sixth-Rank Master level.

"Transforming the Five Elements was just the first step for Master Dashan. The second step, reassembling the Five Elements, is a grand gesture that can be called reversing fate." Lin Qiusheng's expression became excited. Although this matter had been over for decades, every time he mentioned it, he felt a surge of passion. A feng shui master should be like Master Dashan.

"This pyramid-like house was personally supervised by Master Dashan during construction. The triangular design has a deeper meaning. I have a diagram here; everyone look at the projection screen."

Lin Qiusheng turned on the projector, and the lights in the room dimmed again. Everyone's gaze turned to the projection screen, where a 3D diagram of the pyramid house appeared.

The 3D diagram was filled with red and black lines, meticulously marking every corner of the house, from the triangular foundation to the top point. Everyone could clearly see that as the lines intersected, a complex 3D triangular star array appeared before them.

The moment the triangular star array appeared, Xu Cheng stood up, his eyes fixed on the array. After a long while, he turned to Lin Qiusheng, his face full of shock, and asked with difficulty, "Is this the San Wu Zhaobai Array?"

PS: My head is a mess. I checked the recommendations, and we're just a few short of two thousand. Fellow Daoists, let's give it one more push. I'll go have a meal and come back to continue writing!
