Chapter 94

"Ah, Xu Cheng, you can actually recognize the San Wu Morning Array." Lin Qiusheng was greatly surprised. This triangular star array had taken the three of them a lot of time and research to finally learn its name.

"I saw it in a book once." Xu Cheng said lightly, and Lin Qiusheng didn't press further, perhaps it involved some secrets of his master, which would be inappropriate to inquire about.

"Seeing this, you should understand that the foundation of this house and the layout of the furniture inside all have deep meanings. If you consider each of these as a point and connect them with lines, they form the San Wu Morning Array."

"San Wu Morning Array? What kind of array is this, Zhang Hua, have you heard Qin Yu talk about it?" Mo Yingsheng looked at the 3D diagram and asked Zhang Hua.

"My cousin doesn't talk to me about these things, but from the name, it seems to be related to worship. Look at these lines, don't they resemble the action of clasping hands in prayer?"

After hearing Zhang Hua's words, Mo Yingsheng looked at the 3D diagram again and nodded. "You're right, it does look like it."

"Mr. Lin, what kind of array is this San Wu Morning Array, and why have we never heard of it?" Many feng shui masters were puzzled; they had never heard of this array's name.

"The San Wu Morning Array actually doesn't belong to our feng shui tradition. It originated from Buddhism, symbolizing the worship of Shakyamuni by Buddhist followers."

"From Buddhism!"

Many feng shui masters frowned. Daoism and Buddhism do not mix; feng shui masters worship the Daoist ancestors, and their beliefs differ from Buddhism. How could Master Dashi understand Buddhist things?

"At Master Dashi's level, there is no longer any distinction between Buddhism and Daoism. He can use whatever he needs. As the saying goes, all methods ultimately converge. Whether it's our Daoism or Buddhism, they all lead to the same destination."

Lin Qiusheng sighed, and Qin Yu agreed with this statement. Whether it's Buddhism or Daoism, they ultimately have common ground. This can be seen from Master Zhiren, who can talk about Daoist culture as fluently as some so-called Daoists, drawing on the strengths of various schools to cultivate his own path.

Qin Yu also recognized the San Wu Morning Array. Although it originally came from Buddhism, it was modified by Daoist masters in the Han Dynasty, drawing on the essence of Buddhism but fundamentally based on the Daoist principle of unity between heaven and humanity.

The array is mentioned in the Zhuge Nei Jing, and it is a relatively ancient array. However, it has gradually been lost over time, not just the San Wu Morning Array, but many other arrays have disappeared into the annals of history, only to be found in some ancient texts.

"The hardest part of setting up the San Wu Morning Array is to connect with the Five Elements Stars in the sky, drawing their spiritual light into the array to benefit those inside. However, the Five Elements' spiritual light is extremely violent, and a person with all five elements is usually unable to withstand it. Moreover, due to the violent nature of the Five Elements' spiritual light, the energy field of the entire house becomes chaotic."

Lin Qiusheng's explanation clarified everything. This is why he felt the energy field inside the house was chaotic and why the homeowner had to live separately from his family. The Five Elements' spiritual light is a great tonic for the homeowner, continuously replenishing his Five Elements, but for someone with all five elements, it is a disaster.

"According to Master Dashi's prediction, as long as the homeowner stays in the house for ten years, his Five Elements will be almost fully replenished."

"Wow, is that true? Isn't he just boasting? Borrowing the energy of the stars, that's too much."

"Don't talk nonsense, just listen carefully." Mo Yingshen glared at her younger brother and gently scolded him.

"So, this house was designed by Master Dashi to resolve the Five Elements' deficiency in the homeowner's destiny. And through our observations, after ten years of living in the house, the homeowner's Five Elements have been completely replenished."

Lin Qiusheng's final words concluded the third case. Master Dashi had indeed resolved the Five Elements' deficiency. The crowd marveled at Master Dashi's profound skills while many looked at Fan Mu with a mocking expression. Earlier, Fan Mu had firmly stated that no one could resolve the Five Elements' deficiency, but now Lin Qiusheng had revealed the solution, and the homeowner had spent ten years to finally resolve it.

Fan Mu naturally felt the gazes of the crowd, his face dark, and he said nothing, his lips trembling slightly, clearly angry. He Ping comforted him softly, saying:

"Master Fan, Master Dashi is known as the first in the Golden Lock and Jade Gate, and his ability to change destiny is beyond question. Actually, what you said isn't entirely wrong."

"Hmph!" Fan Mu snorted, his gaze turning to He Ping, staring at him. He Ping felt uneasy under his gaze, and Fan Mu finally looked away, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, lost in thought.

"Everyone's answers focused on the feng shui problems of the house, but only Qin Yu pointed out that the house benefits the homeowner and identified the San Wu Morning Array. Therefore, the only one to score five points in this round is Qin Yu. Qin Yu, please explain how you figured it out."

Lin Qiusheng directly called on Qin Yu to speak, and Qin Yu had anticipated this. Lin Qiusheng seemed to want him to stand out, though he didn't know why, Qin Yu was well-prepared to answer.

"Actually, we all fell into a misconception at the beginning. When President Lin presented these three cases, he asked us to determine the feng shui problems or effects of the three houses. Generally, we subconsciously assumed that all three houses had feng shui problems. The first and second houses indeed had some feng shui issues, which made us even more convinced that the third house also had problems. Following this line of thought, we naturally became more and more wrong, as the direction was incorrect, how could we make the right judgment?"

Qin Yu himself had fallen into this misconception, constantly searching for feng shui problems in the third house. It wasn't until he accidentally looked up and saw the meaningful smile on Lin Qiusheng's face that he realized he was thinking in the wrong direction. Why must it be a problem? Why can't it bring good fortune to the homeowner?

"Yes, we were so focused on finding problems that we didn't even consider the other side. Why must it be a problem and not a great layout?"

Qin Yu's words enlightened many feng shui masters. No wonder, with the wrong direction, it was naturally difficult to make an accurate judgment.

"Changing the direction of thought made it much simpler. I had seen the San Wu Morning Array in a book before, and knowing its function, it wasn't hard to guess the answer."

Qin Yu lightly attributed most of his reasoning to a change in perspective and then sat down.

In reality, although Qin Yu spoke casually, it wasn't that easy. The layout of the house and the placement of furniture were so unconventional that even feng shui masters who tried to think positively would have to change their direction. Qin Yu was sure that many feng shui masters had initially thought positively but couldn't see anything and gave up.

However, once Qin Yu said this, the feng shui masters naturally didn't want to admit it, as it would make them seem inferior to Qin Yu. So, they all agreed with Qin Yu, as if everyone except Qin Yu had thought negatively.

"Ha, Master Qin, you're being modest. I did think positively, but I couldn't see anything. In this round, Master Qin, you deserve the first place. I am convinced."

Of course, not everyone followed the crowd. Xu Cheng stood up from his chair, his expression sincere, and bowed to Qin Yu.

"Finally, someone with a sense of shame." Mo Yingsheng laughed when he heard Xu Cheng's words. He had been annoyed by the feng shui masters who were regretting not thinking in the right direction.

As Xu Cheng said, they should have considered their own abilities. Even if they had thought in that direction, would they have seen anything?

Mo Yingsheng found Xu Cheng more likable. This fair and handsome man was sincere, unlike the group of hypocrites.

PS: Finally finished the fourth update. I won't make such grand promises in the future; it's exhausting! The recommendations have broken two thousand, thank you all! Bow, thank you!
