In the morning, three waves of people came for Wang Yao . At that time, he was enjoying his trip with Su Xiaoxue in the Ming Tombs .

Although these ancient emperors enjoyed most glory and wealth in life, they still remembered to build a grand grave for resting with the hope of enjoying the imperial honor in the nether world .
“How much did it cost both in human and financial resources?” Wang Yao asked .
“In the ancient times, emperors were seen as delegates of Heaven who governed the country,” Su Xiaoxue said . “They could decide everything . ”
The locations these emperors chose were very good . They were so-called Dragon’s Lair .
“Ah, it is a good place, indeed . ” Wang Yao slowly walked around every tomb looking at them closely .
“Do you know Feng Shui, Sir?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“A little,” Wang Yao replied .
He first acquired knowledge about it because of a book about the five-line array method . As time passed, he learned more deeply about its content since a battle array itself was similar to Feng Shui .
“Could you teach me something, Sir?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Ah?” Wang Yao hesitated a little . “OK . no problem . It is a well-known holy land of Feng Shui . It is also the pinnacle of work in the Feng Shui nature school of three-element theory advocated by Mr . Yang . ”
While he had studied the five-line array method, Wang Yao had also read some books about metaphysics involving various domestic genres of Feng Shui .
After a discussion, those emperors would choose and engage with only one imperial Feng Shui master . They were all from the holy land . The emperors hoped for permanent dominance in peace for themselves and their offspring .
“The mountain is called Tianshou Mountain . It sounds like a serial name, doesn’t it?” Wang Yao asked with a smile .
“Ah, it sounds very lucky,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“With those characters, it is indeed a lucky name,” Wang Yao said . “The mountains belong to Yanshan Mountains, which is a branch of Taihang Mountains . That mountain is connected with the Kunun Mountains, which are the ancestor of mountains in Feng Shui theory, through the Qilian and Altun mountains . In other words, Tianshou Mountain is in a dragon vein, and its origin is Kunun Mountain . ”

“You are so knowledgeable,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Ah, I’ve read some metaphysical books . Almost all of them reference the Feng Shui of the Tombs more or less . So, I know some parts,” Wang Yao said before continuing his story . “From Kunlun to Tianshou, there are seven parts . According to the geomantic theories, mountains are like a dragon that can be more vigorous after each striping of the skin . The mountains start from Kunlun and come a long way through thousands of miles, experiencing striping seven times . It’s Qi is naturally matchless . ”
Su Xiaoxue listened to him carefully . She knew some things about metaphysics, but this was her first time to hear such a specific explanation about a tomb’s Feng Shui .
“The major mountain is Tianshou, in response to the polestar, which is a major star, representing the highest glory in the world . ” Wang Yao looked at Su Xiaoxue and began to recite a poem . “The dragon travels surrounded by countless servants . The grand mountains under the stars are like the body of the dragon . The mountains were named after the stars . The stars were shining brightly, casting light on the mountains . ”
“Let’s go up the peak to have a look,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Wang Yao agreed . The two went up alongside the mountainous road . Before long, they were at the peak surrounded by mountains .
“Look at all the mountains . ” Wang Yao knew the geomantic landscape of the Ming Tombs, but it was his first time to experience it in person . “The Feng Shui of imperial tombs is based on hiding wind and gathering Qi . All mountains are clustered like thousands of servants . It is a giant geomantic landscape . Can you feel how different the Qi is here?”
“Qi?” Su Xiaoxue closed her eyes to carefully feel it . “It is comfortable, more comfortable than in Beihai . ”
“Yes, it is the fantastic point in the places of great Feng Shui,” Wang Yao said .
Generally speaking, it was the tombs for the dead where the evil spirit should be thick, but, in fact, it was not .
“Given the superb Feng Shui here, it is a gift from nature . ” Wang Yao continued his teaching . “The person who designed the tombs for various emperors in the Ming Dynasty was a master . Because of the two elements supporting and complementing each other, the imperial tombs were able to be so grand . ”
“But, Feng Shui could not resist the time passing by and the trend of history no matter how superb it was,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Yeah, talented people stand out in each generation to lead the history for decades of years,” Wang Yao said as he took a deep breath . “There are not many people paying a visit . ”
“No, not many,” Su Xiaoxue said . “On one hand, the location is comparatively remote . On the other hand, given that it was tombs built for the dead, some people feel it is unlucky for fear of being impacted by an evil spirit . So, they are unwilling to come . ”
“But, they should take a look,” Wang Yao said .

A gust of wind was blowing . It left people’s body feeling cold . Su Xiaoxue’s body was quivering a little .
“Are you cold?” Wang Yao asked .
“A little bit,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Try to operate your inner Qi,” Wang Yao said .
Su Xiaoxue mobilized the Qi in her body . As her achievement was less than Wang Yao’s, her Qi was operated in her body . Wang Yao’s Qi was surrounding his body and connecting with the heavens and the ground .
Stop!
Wang Yao upheld his right hand in the air . The wind stopped in response to his voice .
“Ah?!” Su Xiaoxue stood beside him in shock . She looked at Wang Yao with amazement in her eyes . “It, it is amazing! Is it coincidental?”
“It is coincidental . ” Wang Yao smiled .
“Really?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
Come!
Wang Yao waved his hand . The wind was blowing again .
“You are fantastic!” Su Xiaoxue couldn’t believe what she was experiencing . “How did you make it happen?”
“With Qi,” Wang said . “People are partly between the heaven and earth . ”
“Can I make it do it?” Su Xiaoxue asked .

“Hmmm . I don’t know,” he replied .
Wang Yao could reach such a level mainly because of unexplained help . Because of it, he had learned the Natural Classics . On Nanshan Hill in the spirit gathering battle array with thick nimbus, he broke through the thresholds by chance . That was why he could reach such an achievement . For others, it would be extremely difficult to get such skills . It would be almost impossible .
“You can try, but it will be hard,” Wang Yao said .
It was near dusk when Wang Yao returned to Jing with Su Xiaoxue .
“What do you want to have for dinner?” she asked .
“It depends on you,” Wang Yao said .
“What about private home cuisine?” Su Xiaoxue asked
Wang Yao agreed .
In Jing, some restaurants were very famous for their private home cuisine . Most of them were located in the old yards and had no express signal or advertisement . The customers were usually regulars . The emphasis of their dinner was sentiment and artistic conception .
While they were having dinner, they were approached by a man who was almost 30 . He was properly dressed and seemed scholarly . “Xiaoxue?”
“Brother Shijing,” Su Xiaoxue replied .
“What a coincidence,” Zhou Shijing said .
“Yeah, what a coincidence,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“And this is?” Zhou Shijing asked .
“Let me introduce, this is Wang Yao . And, this is one of my friends, Zhou Shijing,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“How are you?” Wang Yao asked .
“How are you? I’ve known about you for a long time,” Zhou Shijing said .
He knew of Dr . Wang’s reputation, including that he had cured Su Xiaoxue and Mr . Wu, as well as the disease of Mr . Guo, who had already passed away but might have passed away earlier without Dr . Wang’s treatment .
Many people in Jing wanted to be acquainted with Wang Yao, who lived a secluded life . After all, there were only advantages and no harms in having a professional doctor as a distinguished guest .
“Dr . Wang, I would like to find some time to talk with you privately,” Zhou Shijing said .
“OK,” Wang Yao replied .
While talking, Zhou Shijing’s friends also came in . He walked toward to greet them .
“Are they from big families?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah, they should be,” Su Xiaoxue said .
People like them preferred these kinds of places to treat their friends since it was elegant . Otherwise, they would go to a guild hall rather than high-level hotels .
Guo Zhenghe had locked himself in a room for a whole day . The ashtray on the table was full of butts, which was surprising since he rarely smoked in his daily life .
It was getting dark outside . He got up, making a rattle sound .
“Don’t blame me, Sir,” he said to the air .
