Chapter 10: Flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake (Part 2)

Gao Zhi looked at it for a moment and shook his head, “I remembered, you should have taken this purple cup in the study on the second floor, right? This is the cup my grandfather used when he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Perhaps because of this reason, it is stained with yin, but it’s not the most special item in the house.”

The items selected by other candidates were also announced one by one, and there were all kinds of things.

Host Liu uncovered the final question board, and the real special item was the word ‘Jing’ hanging on the wall of the main hall.

Two people answered correctly, Gu Zhisang and Daisy.

“This is impossible!”

Seeing that the item he answered was wrong, Xun Yiqing’s already gloomy expression became even worse. He raised his voice and said, “Host Liu, Mr. Gao, I have doubts about the result and authenticity of your competition. The Feng Shui in the main hall is excellent. The field of vision is wide, the word is in the right place where the aura is flowing. There is nothing wrong with it at all!”

The scene was silent for a moment, a little awkward.

Host Liu laughed dryly: “Mr. Xun, our program is fair and just. Even I, the host, just learned the answer this moment.”

If it was questioned in the previous two seasons, Host Liu would not dare to be so decisive, because he did sell the answer.

But in this episode, the director didn’t reveal any news. Only Gao Zhi the owner of the villa knew the answers.

Daisy broke the deadlock with a voice: “I can testify that this calligraphy painting has a very ominous atmosphere in my eyes, which is very similar to something like demons.”

Generally speaking, the family of black witches has inherited African witchcraft. They were good at communicating with the dead, using spells, and were very sensitive to darkness and black energy.

As the most potential successor of the line of Norwegian black witches, although Daisy doesn’t understand the principles of Feng Shui formations, she can discover the evil forces simply and roughly.

Xun Yiqing sneered: “What kind of metaphysics do you know, a foreigner?”

The contempt in his tone made Daisy very upset. When she was about to speak again, she was patted on the shoulder. Gu Zhisang, who had always looked calm, curved the corner of her lips into a smile:

“I have pointed out the problem, but you can’t still see the clue. Did the people of the Taoist Sect fall to this point?”

Regardless of Xun Yiqing’s glaring eyes, she asked, “Are there any small things that are convenient to use, bring a few pieces.”

Gao Zhi asked: “Are the Go Game pieces okay? It was collected by the elders before.”

“Mmm.”

“Pretend as long as you can!” Xun Yiqing scolded, “I want to see what you can do, you little brat!”

After getting a box of jade Go Game pieces, Gu Zhisang ignored him.

She picked up the white stones with her two white fingers and dropped them on the empty table. Every time she dropped a stone, she said: “Qian (North), the azure dragon embrace the moon. Kan (East), Sanmen County is auspicious and luster. Kun (South), the main entrance…”

Both the audience and most of the contestants were confused, but Xun Yiqing frowned his eyebrows.

He can see that Gu Zhisang was familiar with the Eighth Trigrams, and each Go Game piece landed on each reflected location of the Feng Shui Formation in the villa!

Xun Yiqing asked himself. He can also do it, but compared to her, he must use a compass, which makes it difficult for him who has always been proud to accept it.

When the six Go Game pieces fell, they formed a rudimentary form.

When Gu Zhisang looked up again, her expression was serious: “There are six active sets of formation in this house, which are all flourishing. The calligraphy painting on the wall of the main hall is at a central point, gathering the aura in all directions of the whole mountain. In other words, this house is like being roasted on the fire of fortune. In ancient times, this kind of layout of the house was advisable to the princes, generals, and people with great achievements to match it. Ordinary people cannot suppress this kind of momentum. Otherwise, it will turn from prosperity to decline.”

Xun Yiqing disagreed: “So what? You don’t want to say that these blessings killed this family, do you?”

“There is no problem with having good blessings, but there are two problems with the main formation.”

Gu Zhisang smiled faintly, “There is a word ‘jing’ which means not moving hanging on the central wall. The word not moving is the same as ‘mirror’. As the saying, flowers are in a mirror, and the moon is reflected in the lake. It makes the virtual and the real world turn upside down. The yin and yang will be confused. The real will become a false blessing and turn into a disaster. And the thing mounted on that word is a glass, which deepens the turning point of the mirror surface. All the collected spiritual energy and blessings will be reversed into yin energy!”

“This is an absolute yin formation combined with the other six active sets of formation it turns into—- 7 Killing Yin Formation.”

The so-called ‘Seven Killing Yin Formation’ was a combination of large formation arrays in Feng Shui Classics. It was used to seek wealth and murder. In this world where spiritual energy is scarce, it can only be activated with the help of magic weapons. This Feng Shui Master was indeed a bit capable.

She looked at Gao Zhi: “That picture was written by your father, right?”

Gao Zhi nodded again and again: “That’s right! There was originally a shelf placed in there for storing materials. When my father… died in a fire, those materials were burned. Only this calligraphy was safe in the fire. Later, we repainted it, and at the suggestion of the Feng Shui Master who made the layout, this calligraphy painting was hung on the wall of the main hall. So this is a really special item.”

Gu Zhisang smiled, “Your father died in a fire, and the word written by himself was hung on the scene of the incident. This is equivalent to a medium for locking the soul, suppressing your father’s dead soul in this world so that he cannot enter the underworld for reincarnation.”

“This is the main reason why the luck of your family gets worse and worse. The continuous flow of yin energy is tearing the locked dead soul, making it miserable, so the blood relatives and descendants were also implicated by it. I think this is what caused the tragic death of your family.”

Gao Zhi didn’t know what to think, his face was already pale.

Gu Zhisang said again: “Before your father died, the feng shui of this villa was very good. At that time, your family was prosperous in wealth. But since the day this calligraphy painting was hung after his death, fortune becomes misfortune. I think you know who is the perpetrator in your heart.”

Yes, the tragedy in their family did start after the death of his parents.

Gao Zhi did think of someone, but he didn’t want to believe it.
