Feng Shui, to put it simply, is actually something that everyone looks at, and it has nothing to do with so-called superstitions. For example, when you walk to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, you will also feel relaxed and happy, and sigh: "Living here is good for your body and mind!" "What do these words mean, to put it bluntly, aren't they just talking about yin and yang houses?

At this time, someone may ask you again: "Boss, since you like this place, what is the right location to build the villa?" You will choose a place based on various factors, including topography, traffic, air, sunlight, wind direction, water source, view, etc., and not only consider the wind and sunshine, but also consider the influence of various meteorological conditions such as wind and rain. These are the origins of Feng Shui, and the summary of the laws is the origin of the Jianghu Fengmen technique.

If you put it more complicated, there are many microscopic details. For example, the layout of the house, the proportion of doors and windows, the placement of items, and even the best orientation of the rooms for couples, the elderly, and children, how to arrange the beds, etc. The simplest example, when everyone decorates their room, there will be a standard - how to make themselves most comfortable physically and mentally, these are often based on experience and feeling, as for the actual effect.

From intuitive perceptual experience to the theoretical level, and the establishment of a complex and esoteric metaphysical system, that is, Feng Shui, so that later Feng Shui books are not understood by ordinary people at all. In this process, it is inevitable that there are many tricky ingredients, and even many feng shui gentlemen who just eat mixed rice for some reason, are simply far-fetched when looking at feng shui. For example, a family faces a cemetery in front of it and a pond in the back. Feng Shui Mr. A said: "When you go out and encounter a ghost, you turn around and fall into the water." Feng Shui Mr. B said, "The family has a cornucopia, and there is a ghost guarding the door in front of it." But graveyards and ponds do have a focus on feng shui, and it is difficult to explain the specific situation.

Let's take another example from life - "When you read at night, you should close the curtains." At first glance, this particular emphasis does not sound like it has anything to do with Feng Shui, but it is indeed one of the rules in the life chapter of the Feng Shui Bureau.

Someone is going to ask again: "What if I just don't close the curtains?" Now students study in the big classroom at night, and there are no curtains at all, and I haven't heard of any adverse effects. But if you can, you can try it yourself and experience the difference between pulling the curtains and not pulling the curtains when reading at night, and there will be a difference in mood and subtle physiological sensibilities. If we use modern "scientific" theories such as psychology, we can give a plausible explanation, but if we use metaphysical "superstition" ideas, we can also explain a series of truths. The reason why this example is given is to give everyone an intuitive understanding of the traditional feng shui bureau.

Here we can make a brief summary of Feng Shui, the core of the eight major points of the wind door in the rivers and lakes lies in two points: the first is to choose the most suitable environment according to the needs, and the second is to build a small environment in this large environment to meet the envisioned functions as much as possible.

Lu Chunyang inspected the topography of the mountains and rivers in Wuzhou, and took a fancy to the three mountains in Qingyi Lake, and wanted to build an immortal family to practice caves here, he was obviously also a Taoist who understood feng shui. Of course, for the truly skilled Feng Shui masters, what they see is far beyond the vision of ordinary people, not only the mountains and rivers in front of them, but all the related leylines and spiritual centers in the surrounding area.

Mei Zhengjin, the fifth uncle before Mei Zhenyi's crossing, was a famous feng shui gentleman, and the fifth uncle had done a lot of things to fool people and get money, but he was indeed an expert in the wind door, Meixi had the true biography of the fifth uncle since he was a child, including the collection of books about feng shui in the fifth uncle's house. At this time, Mei Zhenyi looked at the terrain of Jiulian Mountain along the river, and came to the valley surrounded by the three mountains of Qingyi, and couldn't help but gasp, the feng shui here is too amazing!

The Qingyi River is very peculiar, originating in a large Ze - Qingyi Lake, winding to the northeast like a dragon flowing into the Yangtze River. The nine peaks of Jingting, Feidu, Baimang, Liuling, Miaomen, Qiyun, Chengshu, Fazhu and Fangzheng are arranged along the middle and upper reaches of the Qingyi River. And the end of the pivot, the pillar, the three mountains of the square are in the Qingyi Lake, the highest and farthest of the square peak, the pivot, the pillar of the law one left and one right opposite, the three mountains embrace a large valley, and there is a jade belt-like stream in the center of the valley flowing through.

Wuzhou is located in the southwest mountainous area and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain border, the topography of Jiulian Mountain is the "dragon vein" in feng shui, although it is inconspicuous in the vast mountains and rivers of Kyushu, but it is also a dragon out of Kunlun into the East China Sea. The three mountains of Qingyi are like a dragon's tail rolled up in the lake, which is the place where the spiritual pivot of this leyline rises, and the spirit of heaven and earth and the qi of germination all come from this, figuratively speaking, this is the "spiritual root" of the dragon vein. Lu Chunyang wants to practice here, he really chose the right place, and with Mei Zhenyi's vision, he also saw more mysteries.

There are also two feng shui mysteries in the boundary of Wuzhou: one is the other end of the Jiulian Mountain Range, Jingting Mountain, which is the place where the mountain enters the plain, the terrain is like a dragon exploring the sea, and the aura is like a peerless master looming outside the red dust, this place is suitable for yin and yang, but it is not suitable for mortals to stay. The other is in the south of the prosperous city of Wuzhou, the city of Wuzhou is centered on the state capital, the terrain is lower on three sides in the east and west, and the south is slowly higher, like the head facing south of the Aolong stronghold, and the local residents in the highest part of the south of the city are called Aofeng.

According to the extension of the leyline of Jiulian Mountain, to the Aofeng area by the Jushui River, it happens to be the place where the dragon enters the water and spits out the pearls, and it is also the "eye of the earth" of Wuzhou City. Coincidentally, the Jingwu Villa where Mei Zhenyi lives is built on the Aofeng Eye, which is an excellent place for health preservation. If you set up a dojo here to calm the eyes of the earth, you can collect the aura of the mountains and rivers so that it will not disperse, and nourish the people of Wuzhou. And building a mountain villa is also a little helpful for this, but the effect is not very obvious, then again, it is not so easy to set up a dojo that can calm the eyes of the earth, and it is not easy to build such a mountain villa.

Mei Zhenyi can probably see the distribution of the feng shui bureau and the Jiulian Mountain veins in the Wuzhou area, why did he scold Lu Chunyang in his heart? The key is still in feng shui-

The three mountains of Qingyi are the origin and rise of the entire Jiulian Mountain vein, and the "spiritual root" of the aura of heaven and earth converges. If you practice here, it will be very good, and it will have no effect on others. But if you occupy this place and build a dojo cave that separates the inside and outside, the meaning is completely different, it is equivalent to gathering vitality at the beginning, and the aura of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers is exclusive. That's it, but don't forget that Mei's Jingwu Villa is built on the "Eye of the Earth", and if the dragon vein "Spiritual Root" is restricted, a pattern of "Dragon Ball Sucking Back" will be formed from the perspective of Feng Shui.

This is equivalent to taking back all the health aura of Jingwu Villa in the three mountains of Qingyi, according to the statement of the Jianghu Fengmen Technique, that is, all the blessings and wealth in Jingwu Villa are collected in the hands of Lu Chunyang, who occupies the cave. Even if Lu Chunyang didn't see such an esoteric feng shui bureau, he also planned to accept the young master of the Mei family as an apprentice, enshrine this place to him, and then build the entire Qingyi Three Mountains into a dojo cave for him.

He planned to get the Mei family's status, wealth, feng shui aura and other benefits in Wuzhou into his own hands, and it was like Mei Zhenyi taking a big advantage. It is very common for people in the rivers and lakes to make some profits and eat with their skills, but we must not be greedy, cruel and cruel! We must not deceive others for their own interests, otherwise it will be a scourge to the world.

How did Lu Chunyang know that this seemingly young and ignorant young master was more proficient in feng shui and earth veins than him, thinking that he was in control of everything, chatted about the construction of the immortal cave, and then started other crooked thoughts, and said to Mei Zhenyi with his hands behind his back: "Little boy, the ancients said 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven', you have the heart of the Tao and the immortal fate of everyone in Jingwu Villa." I saw the pair of compatriots and maids beside you today, and their roots and bones are also quite good, which is suitable for serving Danding by the side of this immortal, or can be a fellow practitioner. ”

Lu Chunyang saw that Mei Zhenyi was young and thin, and obviously didn't know anything about men and women, so he started the idea of Gu'er and Sui'er, a pair of beautiful girls, and was greedy and lustful. In fact, these words were nothing in the era at that time, even the three mountains of Qingyi could be worshipped, what is it to send a pair of maids? But listening to Mei Zhenyi's ears, even if he can calm down, he can't suppress the fire.

Seeing that the valley was already deep, and Qi Yunfeng couldn't detect the movement here, Mei Zhenyi glanced at Zhang Guo, stopped and looked at Lu Chunyang with reverence, and asked in an inquiring tone: "May I ask Immortal Chief, when you took me to fly across the mountain gorge, a white cloud flew out of your sleeve, what kind of magic weapon is that?" I didn't dare to speak much in front of you, but I couldn't help but be curious and wanted to ask." ”

Lu Chunyang smiled with a smile on his face, and with a wave of his sleeves, he offered Feiyunxiu, only to see a white line floating in the air like smoke and fog, and he smiled: "This is my magic weapon called Feiyunxiu, which is unpredictable between virtual and real." ”

Mei Zhenyi stepped forward and stretched out her hand and said, "It's so amazing, can I take it in my hand and touch it?"

"Of course, you can take it. Lu Chunyang waved his hand, and Feiyun Xiu shrank into a white cloud-like thing the size of a fist, and fell into Mei Zhenyi's hand. This thing feels like nothing, and the shape can be changed in the hand, like a condensed invisible fluid, and Mei Zhenyi is also secretly surprised under the stroke.

At this time, Zhang Guo stepped forward, and coincidentally stood between Mei Zhenyi and Lu Chunyang, and also stretched out his hand and said: "This is the magic weapon of the immortal family, let my old man also touch the immortal qi!" As soon as he stretched out his hand, Feiyun Xiu swooped into his sleeve and disappeared.

At the time of the imperial weapon, the magic weapon and the body and mind of the caster were one, and it was not so easy to be taken away, but Lu Chunyang was careless just now, and took the spell and put Feiyunxiu in the palm of Mei Zhenyi's hand, which was taken away by Zhang Guo. As soon as the magic weapon was lost, he was immediately alert, but before he could make any reaction, he heard Zhang Guo over there break off and shouted: "Maniac, don't be arrested yet!"

With this sound, Zhang Guo's feet sank into the soil a few inches, and the ground under Lu Chunyang's feet cracked and flew out of several thick ancient tree roots, opening a roll towards the sky, binding Lu Chunyang firmly in the air. Poor Lu Chunyang's magic weapon has been lost and suddenly plotted, and he has already fallen into the Tao without any defense. He just wanted to cast a spell and struggle, only to see a golden light coming not far away with a fierce murderous aura, and the strong wind stabbed his face so hard that he could hardly open his eyes.

When he calmed down a little and saw the scene in front of him, he saw that Mei Yi was holding the sword against his throat, and the sword flickered, as long as he spit out a little, he could kill him immediately. Lu Chunyang panicked and said: "Little, little marquis, this, this, this, this ......"

Mei Yi snorted: "The surname is Lu, tell me where the lost babies in Wuzhou are? Why do you and the demon Dao conspire to frame Jingwu Villa? Dare to say half a lie, and immediately take your dog's life!"

Lu Chunyang was completely stunned at this time, and his teeth trembled a little when he spoke: "Little Marquis, we have no grievances and no hatred, I really want to pass on your immortal law." ...... What's going on? What baby, what demon?"

Mei Yi flicked his wrist, and immediately shaved off Lu Chunyang's beard, leaving a bloody mark on his cheek, and asked: "Stop talking nonsense, and then flicker, don't think that I don't dare to kill you!" Tell you, the twelve Taoist priests in Qi Yunguan who are in cahoots with you are already the souls of my sword at this moment. ”

Mei Zhenyi heard a sigh in his heart, this Mei Yi was really ruthless, in the blink of an eye, he had already killed all the Taoist priests in Qi Yunguan? I didn't ask him to do this! Looking at Lu Chunyang when he heard Mei Yi's words, he rolled his eyes and fainted, it seems that this "master" is not suitable for being an underground party, he is obviously a soft bone who is afraid of death, and he was scared like this.

Seeing Lu Chunyang's reaction, what he said just now didn't seem to be a lie, Mei Zhenyi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Mei Yi, you stop and step aside, don't ask again, I think he really doesn't know the inside story." ...... Zhang Guo, can you add some ingredients to wake him up. Don't squeak, let me ask him. ”

Zhang Guo flicked his fingers, and inch-long spikes instantly grew on those tangled tree roots, and Lu Chunyang woke up with a scream. Mei Zhenyi didn't talk nonsense, and stepped forward and said: "Lu Chunyang, I don't have time to explain anything to you, now I ask you a question, as long as you can't answer, I will give you a good look immediately." ...... Listen, who came looking for you the night before yesterday?"

Lu Chunyang: "The night before yesterday, the Donghua Immortals, it was the Donghua Immortals who came to me. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "What did he come to you for?"

Lu Chunyang: "Donghua Shangxian said that I have an immortal fate, and he wants to pass on my Jindan Avenue and the Nine Turns Zijin Dan." ...... Are you also here for the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Don't talk nonsense! What else did he say, what did you do in Liuling Mountain again?"

Lu Chunyang: "Shangxian also said that he would choose a cave house where ghosts and gods are unpredictable to cultivate the elixir, and I took him to Liuling Mountain." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Where is the unpredictable cave of ghosts and gods?"

Lu Chunyang: "Donghua Shangxian wants to refine the elixir and can't be disturbed, forbidding me to leak it." ...... Ahh

Mei Zhenyi: "Do you know Chaotian Cave?"

Lu Chunyang: "I know, I led the immortals there." ...... Donghua Shangxian said that it was forbidden to tell outsiders that he didn't want to be disturbed. ”

In a few words, everything that should be asked has been asked clearly, and Mei Zhenyi can guess the situation without having time to explain it in detail. He didn't even look at Lu Chunyang at this time, turned to Zhang Guo and said, "It's already clear, you quickly take this person down the mountain, and inform Sun Zhenren to rush to the place called Chaotian Cave to save people." ...... Let's save people first, this Lu Chunyang will also be kept first, I have my own arrangements. ...... Mei Yi, you stay, I still have something to say. ”

Zhang Guo escorted Lu Chunyang, who was unlucky, and Mei Yi asked, "What else does the young master have to order?"

Mei Zhenyi looked at him and sighed: "Uncle Yi, you are too fast, you have already killed all the Taoist priests in Guanzhong?"

Mei Yi: "Yes, but it didn't disturb the family in the house, all the family members are in the East Courtyard, I ordered the Mei brothers to guard the door, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." I didn't alarm anyone else when I did it, and the body had been thrown into the deep stream under the cliff. ”

Mei Zhenyi shook her head: "I don't want to say that, I just want to ask why you killed them?"

Mei Yi: "Young master, I'm here to prevent future troubles for the safety of the Mei Mansion! Since Ming Chongyan dared to frame the Mei family, it was probably because of the queen's instructions, if this is the case, this matter can't even be mentioned." He found Qi Yunguan, and nine times out of ten he also wanted to frame Jingwu Villa through Lu Chunyang, and once Ming Chongyan died, none of these insiders could stay. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "You shot too hard." ”

Mei Yi: "It has to be like this! Have you ever thought that Qi Yunguan is already an accomplice of the Demon Dao, if Ming Chongyan's conspiracy succeeds, the Mei family will die and have no place to be buried, shouldn't they die?"

Mei Zhenyi looked at him, and the feeling in his heart was very complicated, this person had superb swordsmanship, and he was loyal to himself and the Mei family. The "father" whom he had never met sent him to protect himself because he was "clean" and left no trouble. I think that Mei Yi encountered a group of monsters on the way to Wuzhou and had a conflict, in order not to implicate Jingwu Villa, he came to see the little master after killing them all, which shows his perseverance and decisiveness. He remembered what Sun Simiao said when he mentioned Mei Yi: "Since ancient times, the sword has two edges, nothing to keep in the box, don't abuse it, he is at your side, what he does is no different from what you do in person, you must guide it well." ”

It seems that Sun Simiao has seen through Mei Yi's temperament, and hopes that Mei Zhenyi will not be swayed by him, but will guide this person well. But if he was not careful today, Mei Yi had already destroyed Qi Yunguan. Thinking of this, he sighed again and said: "You also heard clearly what I asked Lu Chunyang just now, even he was kept in the dark without knowing the inside story, and the Taoist priests in the temple are even more innocent, you killed the wrong person!

Mei Yi knelt down on his knees when he heard this: "The Taoist priest in Qiyun Guan doesn't know it, and he doesn't know that he is an accomplice of the Guan Master, and Lu Chunyang doesn't know it, and he doesn't know that he is an accomplice of Ming Chongyan, but the accomplice is an accomplice...... Don't mention the matter of Ming Chongyan, then Lu Chunyang came to the door to accept apprentices, and I followed the young master to see that it was to deceive my Mei family, if the young master was ignorant and fell into the trap and let him be at his mercy, what would be the result?...... Master Hou sent me not only to protect the young master, but also to teach the young master how to protect himself. ...... If the young master thinks that Mei Yi is guilty, then please punish him. ”

Traveling to the Tang Dynasty, the most unsightly thing for Mei Zhenyi was this kind of kneeling etiquette, and he stepped forward and helped Mei Yi up: "Your loyalty is right, I want to thank you, you are right to think about things, and this matter cannot be good without your help." Lu Chunyang is indeed excessive, and he should be taught a lesson, but those Taoist priests can not die. ...... Let me ask you one more thing: If we rescue those babies, how will we return them to our parents? And how should we explain them to the people of Wuzhou? If you go to the extreme, will we kill those babies as well?"

Mei Yi paused, changed color and said: "I really didn't think about it so thoroughly, these children have to be sent back, but what happened in the mountains can't be revealed, how to deal with the aftermath I still hope that the young master will think it through." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Killing people is simple and difficult to save people, although we have done this good deed, we can't have this reputation for doing good." Let me ask you, where is the body of the scorpion demon I killed when I first met you?"

Mei Yi: "Still in the cellar of Jingwu Villa, the medicine boy next to Sun Lao Immortal told me that the demon scorpion relics can be used in medicine, and its medicinal effect is not comparable to ordinary medicines, so I still keep it." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "That's easy, you immediately send someone to ride a fast horse to the villa to fetch the scorpion corpse, and then go to Liuling Mountain to see if Sun Zhenren and they rescued the baby, get the news and report it immediately, and I will deal with the rest." Bring Lu Chunyang back secretly, leave him alive and don't kill again, I have my own arrangements. ”

Mei Yi thought about it, and finally couldn't help but say again: "Lu Chunyang, this demon way, I'm afraid I can't stay, young master don't have the kindness of a woman to leave trouble." ”

Mei Zhenyi said in a deep voice: "Why don't you understand, I don't like to do that, Lu Chunyang actually doesn't know, I will give him a way out, and I will also teach him a lesson." ...... I'm relieved that you're at my side, but there's no difference between you killing someone and killing someone with my own hands, and if you make something wrong, I'm just as wrong. ”

Mei Yi finally nodded, and also sighed: "Young master, I understand, when the young master needs to make a move in the future, Mei Yi will make a move." ...... I just don't know if you've thought of a clean aftermath?"

Mei Zhenyi felt a little tired, and shook her head tiredly: "I have to think about it again, you can send me back to Qiyunguan first, and then rush to Liuling Mountain to save those children first." ”

Ming Chongyan was killed in Jingting Mountain, this must not be made public, and the Taoist priests of Qiyunguan were also killed, leaving only one Lu Chunyang for Mei Zhenyi to arrest, and these things cannot be said. When the babies are rescued, how to explain to the people of Wuzhou what role the Mei family should play in it? This is indeed a headache, whether it is before or after the crossing, it is the biggest test that Mei Zhenyi faces. As a result, his handling of the matter was an eye-opener for all insiders, and even Sun Simiao was amazed.

PS: This chapter specially introduces the feng shui theory and the Jiulian Mountain Feng Shui Bureau, which is also a foreshadowing, because in the second half of the book, there will be a feng shui battle around Wuzhou that will shake the world.
