Chapter Ninety: Feng Shui Formation

  Zhao Qingyue said that Liang Xin was getting hungrier and hungrier. In the autumn cold, Liang Xin's forehead was sweating with hunger.

  Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head, thinking for a moment before saying: "To put it this way, looking at the feng shui, what we're actually exploring is the way the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flows under the influence of mountains and rivers. What's called a blessed land is where the spiritual energy flows slowly under environmental influences and becomes dense in certain areas. The spiritual energy of the world is interconnected, you can think of it as a long, winding river that comes from the nine heavens above, flowing through various places on earth, nourishing all living things, and ultimately returning to the sky.

  Li Qingshan wiped the sweat and nodded, Zhao Qing continued: "Later, someone found a series of key positions along this river, after making some adjustments at these positions, the course of the river was changed. Although it still comes from heaven and returns to heaven, the place it nourishes has changed. The original blessed land became ordinary, while the originally barren places turned into spiritual and elegant caves."

  Zhao Qing's father spent a whole twenty years, and only investigated the range of thousands of miles around the Zhao family ancestral tomb. Every key location that would affect the feng shui would have a government project, either building dams, repairing roads, piling up mountains to create scenery, or pushing mountains back into fields...

  Under this series of changes, the Feng Shui pattern within a thousand miles has been completely changed!

  At this point, Liang Xin finally heard some clues, and was shocked with his eyes wide open, wanting to ask but not knowing how to ask.

  Zhao Qing continued: "Changing the Feng Shui pattern is actually changing the direction of the flow of heaven and earth's spiritual energy. From my father's survey, the person who is secretly in charge of this matter not only has a clever mind but also has a heart that cares for the world. He is doing something that will bring great benefits to the people!"

  For ordinary people, the spiritual energy is too dense and actually has no great use, just like you eat a bowl of rice and are full, but God insists on giving you a bucket of rice, while others may not even be able to eat half a bowl.

  The official's change in Feng Shui has largely brought the rich spiritual energy of Fuxiu to be distributed to poor areas, and in recent years, the central land has indeed become lush with grass and trees, and abundant with grain.

  Liang Xin also listened with great joy and nodded: "This is a good thing."

  Zhao Qing smiled wryly: "It's a good thing for the world, but for my father... it's not so great."

  For some reason, Zhao Qing's father's investigation of the feng shui layout leaked out, and soon assassins came to the door. The old Zhao family was not a military officer or a Jianghu expert, and in one night, they were slaughtered. Zhao and his son would have been hard-pressed to escape, but at the critical moment, the commander of the Jiulong Temple personally rushed over to rescue them, and the two of them managed to save their lives.

  It turns out that in the past decade or so, Jiulong Temple has also been secretly investigating this matter. The starting point of Qingyi is very simple: all these wind and water engineering projects seem to be proposed by officials at various levels with sufficient reasons for commencement. However, upon closer examination, all these projects have one thing in common - the officials in charge of the projects are all connected to the two national masters of Dahong Dynasty in some way; some are their disciples, some are their trusted confidants, and others are close friends of their sons.

  The commander didn't trust the national master, so he took action to rescue him. The purpose was to borrow the heavy Zhao family's Feng Shui skills to continue investigating the changes in Feng Shui and see if the national master's actions were for the benefit of humanity or had other motives.

  Not long after, Old Zhao passed away, and Little Zhao was hidden in Jieyun Town. During these ten years, Zhao Qing often followed Li Jiao to escort the sedan chair, actually taking over his father's work, continuing to investigate changes in Feng Shui. As the scope of investigation expanded, Zhao Qing had a vague feeling that what the National Master wanted to change was the overall Feng Shui pattern of the entire Central Plains.

  But so far, Zhao Qing and his father's judgment is consistent, after the change of Feng Shui, the impact on the people is more beneficial than harmful.

  Liang Xin finally understood the course of events, furrowed his brow and fell silent. Whether Guoshi had a heart for the world or hid his intentions, he didn't care much about that; what he couldn't figure out was why Guoshi would make such a big move to capture Zhao Qing at this time, and what connection it had with the cases of his two brothers.

  Liang Xin thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, putting the matter aside for the time being. Fortunately, he and Lang Ya had already planned a way to help the two brothers clear their names...

  A string of fierce killings, a string of conspiracies and calculations, have finally come to an end. After hearing the secret, Cheng Nuo also stopped pretending to be dizzy, sat up and calculated the time, finding that there were less than two hours until dawn. He simply gave the order for everyone to rest and set off again at dawn.

  Liang Xinchang let out a sigh, putting aside all these annoying things, lay down on the ground and gazed up at the starry sky. After being in a daze for a moment, he asked: "Zhao Qing, do you also understand astrology?"

  Zhao Qing nodded: "Of course."

  Liang Xin sat up, ran to Zhao Qing's side, and lay down shoulder to shoulder. He said excitedly, "I'll tell you something first, help me think about it!" Then, Liang Xin explained in detail the relationship between the seven evil spirits, the original power of his body, and the eight true yuan during operation. Not only did Zhao Qing listen with wide eyes and an open mouth, but also the two young boys and Cheng Bu Lan all sighed in amazement.

  Zhao Qing was no ordinary person. He had studied astronomy and astrology since childhood, and after arriving in Yedu Town, he followed Li Jiao to learn martial arts and formation techniques. After careful consideration, he indeed came up with some principles.

  Liāng Xīn's Ben Yuán Zhī Lì, and the Qī Huì Xīng Hún Tǒng Yù's evil earth power, all come from the Jade Stone Double Slayers. The former was refined by Liāng Xīn, while the latter is still in its 'primitive state'. The two powers are of the same origin and have a connection in their natural state.

  According to astrology, Ziwu is the monarch and Beidou is the minister, with the minister revolving around the monarch. Therefore, no matter how the seven stars of Beidou move, Dou Sheng always faces the Emperor Star Ziwu.

  Zhao Qing stretched out his hand, counting on his fingers for Liang Xin: "Firstly, the Star Soul and your original source of power are originally from the same root. Moreover, the Seven Slayers' Star Souls were divided into four parts, with you occupying one part, and your original source occupying one quarter. Your original source is the strongest among the eight true origins."

  "Secondly, the eight trigrams' power coexists as one entity, where seven of the star souls are subordinate, and the origin is your own power. The celestial chart in the sky is also like this, within the central palace, Ziwei is the main, Beidou is the auxiliary."

  "Thirdly, the Seven Soul Stars inherited the characteristics of the Big Dipper, and their nature is to pursue and surround the Ziwei Emperor Star."

  Zhao Qing's tone suddenly became heavy, almost cutting off all possibilities as he gave the answer: "Once Benyuan is activated, Xinghun will pursue and revolve around it. The reason for this is that Qibao Xinghun has taken your Benyuan to be Emperor Star Ziwei! This is a logical consequence, as the eight trigrams' power are all stored in your body, and your Benyuan is the strongest, so naturally Qibao Xinghun will take Benyuan as its master!"

  Here is the translation:

  "Up to this point, Zhao Qing burst out laughing: 'In your body, there are two sets of formations. The first set of formations, the origin does not move, and the Seven Corpse Stars' souls are simply the 'Seven Northern Dipper Stars'. When called upon, these seven powers will operate according to the Northern Dipper Star Formation, increasing your power by a whole level. This formation can be called the Northern Dipper Turning Circle Formation!'"

  "The second formation, the source flows and turns, the seven Gui stars' souls surround and follow, the eight trigrams' power presents the North Dipper's majestic Purple Mansion's momentum. Hmph, its might is absolutely not something that the North Dipper Turning Formation can compare to!"

  According to the star chart, Liang Xin's innate magical power is the Emperor Star Ziwei; the Seven Corpse Stars are the seven stars of the Big Dipper.

  The origin is for you, following your nature and doing whatever you want, wherever the origin goes, the star soul will suppress the seven-star array position and follow it. Therefore, Liang Xin's eight-way true power will always resonate with the Purple Mansion's array chart in the center of the Star Chart!

  Liang Xin hadn't even had time to rejoice when Zhao Qing spoke up again, reminding him: "However... the state of your original source power is still a bit weak!"

  The seven evil spirits' souls are chasing the power of origin, every move is strictly following the star chart, during which a huge gravitational force or repulsive force will be generated, this requires Liang Xin's power of origin to be strong enough, cannot be affected by gravity and repulsion.

  Looking up at the celestial phenomena, it has always been that the Purple Forbidden Enclosure is still, while the Big Dipper revolves chaotically, which is why it's called the Big Dipper paying homage to the Purple Forbidden Enclosure.

  If it becomes a mess of the Big Dipper, Ziwei will also run wildly, and it will be a big mess in the starry sky. Then it will become 'The Big Dipper plays with Ziwei'.

  Liáng Xīn was splashed by the little monkey's saliva, and his original power surged violently. After operating it, he became the Northern Dipper Array of Zi Wei, which allowed Liáng Xīn to reach the power of a five-step cultivator.

  But if Liang Xin mobilizes his origin during a battle and can't focus on controlling it, the situation will become like Beidou playing with Ziwu, resulting in only one outcome: Liang Xin going crazy and dying from excessive blood loss.

  So for Liang Xin, in order to increase his own strength and take another step forward, he must make the 'Zi Wei Star' within his body stronger. Only when Zi Wei is strong will it not be affected by the 'Big Dipper', and can cast the terrifying formation of the Big Dipper worshiping Zi Wei!

  How can Benyuan be made stronger?

  Liang Xinle was overjoyed and couldn't close his mouth, it's too easy! Just use internal energy to heal the injury!

  Concentrate on driving the power of Benyuan, under the influence of the Seven Hui Xing Hun, every time a big week is run, his Benyuan will be strengthened by a thread. At present, there are no strong enemies, and there are still two months before the trial of Zhen Shan San Tang. Liang Xin made up his mind to do nothing but concentrate on practicing and tempering his Benyuan!

  Liang Xin gazed up at the starry sky, staring fixedly at Emperor Star Zi Wei... Liu Yi He and Qu Qing Shi were in grave danger, although he had reached an agreement with the demoness and temporarily had a countermeasure, but even the best plan was no match for truly formidable strength.

  When he saw that he had the opportunity to reach the Five Steps of Xuanji, Liang Xin was overjoyed. With newfound hope, Liang Xin suddenly realized that he had been craving power all along!

  Strong, live for oneself and one's loved ones.

  The name of this true yuan formation is indeed loud and powerful:

  Beidou, Bai, Ziwei!
