Chapter 387 - 119: Ghostly Maze
Digging up a grave and causing a death, such things must be reported to the local Public Security Bureau.
Thanks to the Feng Shui Formation set up by the ancestors of the Jia Family, many of their descendants have turned out to be remarkably talented, one of whom works at the Public Security Bureau.
After receiving the call, Jia Shibing hurriedly brought people to the scene.
"Judging from the traces left at the scene, there were three people involved in the tomb robbery."
He was dressed in a security uniform, squatting at the edge of the graveyard, lightly tapping his notebook with a ballpoint pen, said:
"Besides Gao the Second, the other two are a tall thin man over 1.8 meters and a limping man about 1.6 meters tall."
"Gao the Second probably has the fingerprints of the other two on him, but we’ll need to collect and compare them back at the bureau."
He is a professional, able to analyze the height and weight of the criminals from the footprints left at the scene, providing convenience for capturing them.
"Limping?"
Xiao Liu frowned:
"There’s no such person around here."
"There are so many graves here, but the other party only dug up Second Grandpa’s grave and didn’t touch the rest; they were clearly prepared." Jia Shibing spoke:
"Just as Third Grandpa said, the other party likely understands Feng Shui and knows that some good stuff is buried in Second Grandpa’s grave."
"With clues, some effort will definitely lead to an investigation."
Upon saying this, he shook his head slightly.
He entered the Public Security Bureau by merit, studying modern social investigation techniques, and did not believe in Feng Shui.
In his view,
The so-called Feng Shui and geomancy are only useful for facilitating tomb robbers and serve no other purpose.
The other party understands Feng Shui, found Gao the Second who was familiar with Jia Family Village, and used the means left in the grave by Jia Family to eliminate Gao the Second to eliminate future troubles.
Such meticulous planning might not be easy to unravel.
"Xiao Bing."
Elder Jia grabbed his hand, solemnly said:
"This person has ruined our Jia Family’s Feng Shui, and who knows how many descendants will be affected. He is the enemy of our Jia Family, you must capture him."
"Third Grandpa, rest assured."
Jia Shibing nodded, although he did not recognize Feng Shui techniques, he could understand Elder Jia’s feelings and solemnly said:
"I will definitely capture them."
......
Night.
Courtyard annex.
Elder Jia held a yellowed package, knocked on the door, and entered.
"Master Fang."
He approached the table, opened the package, revealing several ancient books, and fondly stroked the surface of the books said:
"These books are the Feng Shui techniques passed down through the generations of my Jia Family."
"The Jia Family has survived for hundreds of years, passing down through generations, even experiencing periods of great wealth, all thanks to these books."
"Master, please evaluate them."
Saying this, he pushed the books closer to Fang Zheng.
"Thank you."
Fang Zheng slightly bowed, picked up the top book.
"Jia’s Bo Mountain Technique"
Within Feng Shui techniques, there are many sects, such as Mountain Head Method, Momentum Method Sect, Sect of Shaping Law, etc. This book clearly belongs to the Sect of Shaping Law.
It records analyses of how key Feng Shui elements such as dragon, sand, cave, water, and ming tang affect people’s fortune.
Among them,
There are also methods for setting up a Magic Altar, and several types of Magic.
Like,
Soul Summoning Technique!
Which is the method Elder Jia used in the daytime to invite the spirit to possess him.
The Jia Family also used this book to find the Four Spirits Land, moved the whole clan to the current Jia Family Village, and even avoided several extermination calamities.
Fang Zheng flipped through the book casually, and confirmed that the teachings within were mostly feasible against the heritage left by Master Jiuyuan.
Indeed,
There is magic heritage in modern society, but of lower grades.
"Elder Jia."
Fang Zheng curiously asked:
"Where did the Jia Family acquire this Feng Shui heritage?"
"This..." Elder Jia pondered for a moment, said slowly:
"It’s said that my ancestor dreamt of an Immortal who taught the techniques in his sleep, and upon awakening, acquired the Bo Mountain Technique. I’m not sure if it’s true."
Learning from an Immortal in a dream?
That’s a common saying indeed.
Many legendary figures in the Daoist School have such tales around them; linking them to Immortals does add prestige to their heritage.
As for the truth...
Except for those involved, no one can know.
Fang Zheng nodded slowly.
"Master Fang."
Elder Jia rubbed his hands:
"Have you thought of any solution for the Jia Family’s Feng Shui Formation?"
During the day, he pleaded earnestly, agreeing to let Fang Zheng view his family’s Feng Shui heritage, finally winning Fang Zheng’s help to solve the Jia Family’s problem.
"There is a way."
Fang Zheng had indeed thought it over seriously, responded:
"Use Feng Shui to counter Feng Shui."
"Among Feng Shui treasure lands nearby, Four Spirits Land is the best. With slight adjustments to its Feng Shui layout, the Evil Qi targeting Jia Family can be dispersed."
"Tomorrow, Elder Jia should take some people to Four Spirits Land, find several trees and stumps over a hundred years old, and place them facing Jia Family Village in the Seven Stars position."
"Additionally..."
He outlined the method, as Elder Jia continuously nodded, afraid of forgetting some details, and took pen and paper to note everything down.
Finally, Elder Jia raised questions about the parts he didn’t understand.
Fang Zheng answered them one by one.
This question and answer session cleared many doubts Elder Jia had about the contents of the Bo Mountain Technique, leaving him exhilarated.
"Listening to you is better than reading for ten years."
Even until midnight, Elder Jia couldn’t bear to leave, tears flowing, tightly clutching the Bo Mountain Technique:
"If only I had met Master Fang ten years earlier..."
"How wonderful that would have been!"
"How wonderful indeed!"
His emotions were uncontrollable, having guarded his family’s heritage door for decades without getting it to open, even breeding doubt in his heart.
Until today,
He finally saw the true skill and became enlightened.
How could he not be stirred?
His heart was a mix of sadness and joy, saddened by his old age and scarce time, yet joyous at finally unraveling his doubts.
"Elder Jia."
Fang Zheng waited for his emotions to stabilize, then slowly said:
"The art of divination is vast and profound, and Feng Shui techniques are not foolproof; even though the Jia Family occupies the Four Spirits Land, it still didn’t achieve success?"
