Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Breaking the Feng Shui Formation_1
From the Bay Area?
A master?
Feng shui, it’s an incredibly profound and intricate subject.
In the entire Great Xia Kingdom, there aren’t many who truly understand its intricacies and can be called masters.
Indeed, there are many self-proclaimed feng shui masters in the Bay Area.
However, most of them are merely filling in the numbers.
It’s just that I don’t know if the one who’s come today has any real skills.
Ye Fei was quite interested.
"Mr. Ye, this Master Yi is no ordinary person. In the Bay Area, more than half of the hundred-billionaires have received his guidance, and his status in the industry is very high," someone said.
"Right, listening to your analysis just now, it seems you also have quite a deep understanding of feng shui. Why don’t you have a friendly exchange of knowledge with Master Yi later on, and let us laypeople widen our horizons. Haha."
"A contest between two great masters is bound to be extremely exciting," another added.
The two elderly men were looking forward to it, each pitching in excitedly.
However, Ye Fei merely smiled faintly.
What the two old men didn’t know was this.
Once upon a time, Ye Fei, as the Divine Healer and Immortal Venerable, had discussed metaphysical philosophy with the Eight Emperors of the Eight Desolates, and had explored the infinite ways of the universe with the Nine Luminaries and Nine Saints.
A so-called feng shui master from the insignificant Bay Area on this tiny Earth, too trifling to be more trifling, too lowly to be more lowly.
Was he even worthy of exchanging knowledge with him?
Wouldn’t that be the biggest joke under the heavens!
Not long after, a Bentley, escorted by a number of Mercedes Benz cars, came to a stop in front of Zhu Guangbo and Bai Yunfei.
Then, an old Taoist priest, over eighty years old with a youthful face and wearing a Taoist robe, elegantly stepped out of the car.
With an air of an immortal that seemed far removed from this world, he made the surrounding people exclaim in admiration.
"Master Yi, you’ve traveled such a long distance, enduring the hardships of the road to come here to help us with our troubles. We truly appreciate your hard work."
Zhu Guangbo, such an important figure, was also very respectful in front of this otherworldly master.
Bai Yunfei also hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Yi, your accommodations have already been arranged. It’s almost noon; how about we go have a meal first, and then I will arrange for someone to take you to your place to rest?"
Master Yi, supported by two young disciples with his eyes half open, said in a drawn-out tone, "No need. When I handle affairs, I prefer to be quick and efficient. I won’t eat late after I’m done with the important matters."
"Ah, alright then, we’ll do as Master Yi wishes."
"Oh, right, Master Yi, today I have with me a close friend of Brother Bai who happens to be here; he also has quite an insight into the art of feng shui. Let me introduce you, this is Ye Fei, Mr. Ye."
Master Yi glanced lazily at the age of the person in front of him and just curled his lips and snorted through his nose.
"I’m not here to make friends. Let’s get to work promptly. What do you think?"
Seeing this, the two elderly men looked at Ye Fei with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"So... Master, what can we do for you next?"
Master Yi flicked his hand, signaling his disciples to step back.
Then, he looked around, pretended to do some calculations with his fingers, and eventually pointed at the tallest 108-story skyscraper in the center.
"I will go to the rooftop of this tall building."
"Very well, after you."
A crowd of dozens, leading and following, surrounded Master Yi like stars around the moon as they headed towards the rooftop.
When there was a moment, Zhu Guangbo and Bai Yunfei hurried over to placate Ye Fei.
"Mr. Ye, as you know, great masters have peculiar temperaments. Please do not take to heart what just happened," one of them said.
"Indeed, Mr. Ye, there’s no need for a contest. Let him handle it by himself; you can enjoy some peace. I have a pot of good tea; I’ll invite you to share it with me later," added the other.
The words of the two elders were indeed very polite.
But how could Ye Fei not hear the underlying truth?
When it came to feng shui, they clearly trusted Master Yi more.
However, this is hardly surprising.
After all, in this field, he has a reputation, and with that demeanor of a master steeped in the Taoist arts, he is indeed quite intimidating.
To not believe in him, but to trust oneself instead, that would truly be the abnormal thing.
Arriving at the rooftop.
The wind howled, the air was thin, and the clouds were almost within reach.
Gazing into the distance, the entire Tianhe lay at one’s feet.
The mountains beautiful, the waters beautiful, the sky even more so.
Master Yi, skinny and gaunt, swayed in the strong wind, as if he might fall at any moment.
Fortunately, two disciples stayed close by, merely holding him steady.
Otherwise, a gust of wind could probably blow him all the way down to the bottom of the building.
Following Master Yi’s gesture, the two disciples helped him up to an even higher pavilion on the rooftop.
After overlooking the area for a moment, he pinched his fingers, nodded his head, as if he had already made some calculations.
At the same time, Ye Fei had also discerned some principles.
However, seeing as it was Master Yi’s time to show his skills, it wouldn’t have been appropriate to steal the spotlight, so he kept silent and waited to see what the master had to say.
"Master Yi, have you discovered the problem?"
As soon as the man came down from the pavilion, the two elders hurried forward to ask respectfully.
Master Yi pursed his lips and nodded, "Indeed!"
With that, he pointed downwards.
"Look, the skyscraper we stand on is like a pillar reaching to the heavens. Now, look at the four directions of southeast, northwest; there are two roads extending outward in each. This forms a layout of ’Eight Directions to the Sky’."
"This should be a prosperous layout, but the downfall lies with the artificial mountain to the south and the fountain to the north—their positions were mistakenly arranged."
"Oh? How were they misplaced? Please, Master, enlighten us," the two elders asked eagerly.
Master Yi continued, "The heavens are yang, the earth is yin, soil is yang, water is yin, south is yang, and north is yin."
"And the reason why all things in the world constantly reproduce and cycle in an unending loop follows this principle of yin and yang harmony."
"Fountains are water, representing yin, and artificial mountains are soil, representing yang. Water being yin in the north adds more yin, and soil being yang in the south adds more yang. How could the principle of yin and yang not be disrupted in this way?"
"I see! Then please, Master, how should we resolve this chaotic situation?"
Master Yi stroked his silver beard, "Easy to solve. We just need to readjust the yin and yang."
The elders thought for a moment and then had a sudden realization, "Get the workers! Immediately start work to switch the places of the artificial mountain in the south and the fountain in the north!"
No sooner had the order been issued than Master Yi let out a hearty laugh, "Why must you undertake such a drastic action? If it’s so troublesome, wouldn’t my reputation be ruined?"
"Then, according to your wisdom, Master, how should we deal with it?"
Master Yi flicked his long sleeves and, as if performing a magic trick, suddenly produced a brush and two yellow talismans.
His brush moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, Master Yi drew on the two yellow papers the symbols of a mountain and water.
"All you need to do is order someone to bury this mountain talisman beneath the fountain and this water talisman beneath the artificial mountain. With that, the problem can be solved."
"If that’s the case, then that’s wonderful!"
The two elders were elated.
After all, a lot of manpower and resources had been spent on building that fountain and artificial mountain.
To move and rebuild them would indeed be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The most critical point was that the commercial district’s initiation ceremony was in just three days.
If we start now, there’s no way we can finish in time.
Compared to that, burying a talisman paper is much less trouble.
So, the two immediately commanded their men to take care of this.
But just at that moment, Ye Fei, who had been watching the whole time without saying a word, suddenly stepped in to intervene.
"Absolutely not! If you truly proceed as Master Yi has suggested, then you two are indeed heading for a disaster!"
