upernatural Rebirth Genius Girl Diviner: Chapter 26
Seeking the Dragon Acupoint (1)
Yang ZiMei stared at the acupoint Hua ShaoGuang found, then discovered an ashy layer of muddled qi floating above it. It wasn’t the characteristic white qi from a prosperous acupoint, perhaps the convergence of yin yang was too chaotic.
She went forward, felt the malignant qi surrounding it, and quickly backed away.
From the outside, it looked like a prosperous acupoint so why would it generate malignant qi?
She surveyed her surroundings and discovered a very small sharp point on the mountain across from her. This became a knocked arrow shooting towards the acupoint, killing the central area.
Land, acupoints of surrounding mountains. [1]
According to observations of feng shui: If the mountain is substantial, the people will be filled. An emaciated mountain, starving people. A clear mountain, wealthy people. A ruined mountain, sorrowful people. A mountain of restore, people gather. If the mountain disappears, people leave. A long mountain, brave people. A contracted mountain, people bend. A bright mountain, eminent people. An obscure mountain, lost people. A smooth mountain, filial people. A contradicting mountain, rebelling people. The way a mountain changes isn’t fixed, there are those who perceive from the East and from the West. An even look from above and a slanted one from below. A straight forward look could be unsightly while beautiful from the side. One must employ the mountain’s changing forms as key to the acupoints. A good acupoint can cause the distant mountain to become closer, a high mountain into a lower one, a wicked mountain into a refined one, an ugly mountain into a beautiful one, a departed mountain to return, an evil mountain into a proper one. The form is ever changing, minor changes are quite different. When land and water connect, land blocks water and water blocks land. The embracing land blocks the water origin, the dragon and tiger’s land blocks the held water, the close by land blocks the central water, the outer land blocks the outside water. Both sides in front of the acupoint serve the land to obstruct malignance. From the dragon’s protective embrace of land, it drives out the wind, increase the qi on the inside. The entwining formations in front of the acupoint established the land. Water come from the East, land shift in the West. Water come from the West, land shift in the East.
That small sharp formation wasn’t easily noticeable. If it wasn’t because she had feng shui eyes, based only on the usual feng shui knowledge, she’d also assume this was the place of a prosperous acupoint.
“Little girl, what do you think of this place?” Hua ShaoGuang asked with a pleased expression.
He felt that he was in luck, it didn’t take him long before actually finding this prosperous acupoint. No matter which angle you looked from, it was perfect.
“Master Hua, I don’t know whether you’ve noted that small sharp formation on that side?”
Yang ZiMei had a faint smile as she stretched out her finger and pointed.
Hua ShaoGuang’s vision followed where her finger pointed. He saw the outline of the slanted appearance of the sharp mountain and his complexion had a great change. He turned around to quickly pick up his luopan, circled around the acupoint a while, and finally his eyes dimmed. In an extremely ashamed way, he said to Huo WenHua: “Mr. Huo, I’ve made a mistake!”
Huo WenHua still didn’t understand. After an explanation, his complexion also had a big change.
“Little girl, I…… concede!”
Hua ShaoGuang said to Yang ZiMei with great difficulty, “To think I’m a metaphysics master that’ve worked dozens of years. In the end, I couldn’t even compare to a little girl’s clarity. From now on I won’t help anyone else calculate feng shui, in case it harms others.”
As a well-established master, he could admit his mistakes. That’s truly very rare.
Yang ZiMei didn’t take advantage to poke fun but calmly said: “Even horses sometimes lose their footing, people make mistakes. Master Hua also doesn’t need to overly blame oneself. However, later you shouldn’t casually call others a charlatan.”
Hua ShaoGuang’s face was filled with embarrassment, he could only nod a response.
Since Yang ZiMei could see through the ominous feng shui formation that even Hua ShaoGuang couldn’t, this made Huo WenHua completely believe that she’s a talent with innate feng shui eyes. Therefore, he looked at her with a face of expectation, “Little master, does not know if you’ve already found the location of the prosperous acupoint?”
The way he addressed her changed from little girl to little master. This made Yang ZiMei feel funny and a marvelous sense of achievement as well.
Haha, she hadn’t thought there’d be a day where she’d be called master instead of damned charlatan!
1. Actual word is sand/gravel but should be referring to the formation of land
TL note: Yup, I’ll go with qi over essence.
