Chapter 28  Four major families

With a thunderous shout, the people standing in the room felt their eardrums buzzing, almost scared out of their wits. It was unclear what method the Taoist used, but after this loud shout, a dark energy suddenly flew out from my body. The Taoist reached out, grabbing the dark energy and stuffing it directly into a wine gourd.

The Taoist shook the wine gourd in his hand, took a sip, and exclaimed, "The soul of this Wang Yeye with the Four Yang fate, mixed in the wine, has a unique flavor." Earlier, Granny Liu mentioned that this Wang Yeye had an extremely rare destiny called the Kill Breaking Wolf fate.

The Taoist hung the wine gourd at his waist and then said to the family, "Let my disciple rest at home for a few days. After three days, I'll come to take him away."

Leaving these words behind, the Taoist floated away, leaving the family standing there in astonishment.

Is that all? Granny Liu had been busy all day, and the Taoist solved it in less than a minute...

After the Taoist left, Granny Liu carefully examined me. Miraculously, all the lividity on my body had disappeared, and even my breathing had become steady, and the high fever had subsided.

"The Taoist is an expert; his methods are incredible," Granny Liu exclaimed.

"Is he okay?" Grandpa said with some disbelief.

Granny Liu nodded heavily, saying, "Absolutely, the child is perfectly fine. Rest for a few days, and he will recover completely. It seems this child is destined for good fortune. Following that Taoist cultivation, you won't have to worry about any calamities in the future. Surely, he will turn adversity into opportunity."

Upon hearing that I was fine, the family also felt relieved.

But thinking about the Taoist coming back in three days to take me away, and then not seeing me for ten years, the family started to worry again.

Especially Grandpa, at the thought of not seeing me until he was over eighty, he wasn't sure if he could live to that day.

Granny Liu comforted him, saying Grandpa would surely live a long and healthy life. She also said that although she didn't know who the Taoist was, he must be a highly capable person. Following him, I would learn a lot.

It was only later that I found out who my master was. My master's name is Li Xuantong, the Feng Shui king of the present world. His expertise in Feng Shui is unparalleled.

What is Feng Shui? Feng Shui originates from the ancient land of China, with a history of several thousand years. It is challenging for ordinary people to understand and utilize this technique, requiring long-term study and practice. Only through their professional judgment can experts discern what is imperceptible to the average person.

The other people who came to my house were also extraordinary, all renowned figures in the world of Feng Shui.

In today's Feng Shui realm, there are four major families, namely the Eight Mansions family, the Xuan Kong family, the Yang Clan family, and the Jin Suo Yu Guan family. The first eminent monk who visited my home, Reverend Jue Ming Chan Shi, is the leader of the Eight Mansions family. Founded by the Tang Dynasty monk Yixing Chan Shi, this family excels in calendar astronomy. Its core theory is based on combining the Bagua with the Nine Stars, integrating the annual movement of the Nine Palaces Flying Stars. It divides people into two destinies: East Four and West Four, incorporating them into the entire Feng Shui system. This approach truly achieves the perfect unity of heaven, earth, and humanity, representing a direct embodiment of the Hetu Luoshu. Profound and vast, it holds endless mysteries.

The elderly gentleman named Shen Xiuyuan is no ordinary person; he is the head of the Xuan Kong family. The Xuan Kong family focuses on using the natural environment of mountains and rivers as a basis, combined with the theory of Three Elements of Luck. Through unique numerological calculations such as dragon arrangement, star placement, and addressing ominous energy, their methods are extraordinary and leave people in awe. The profound essence of their theory reflects the natural laws of celestial movement and corresponding earthly conditions. The middle-aged man who brought his daughter to take on disciples is named Yang Gaoyi, an outstanding figure in the Yang family. The founder of the Yang family was Yang Junsong, who established the family during the Tang Dynasty and was in charge of the geographical affairs of Lingtai at that time. He pioneered the Yang family's Feng Shui expertise, specializing in dragon-spotting, sand observation, water seeking, orientation setting, and cave location determination. The Yang Gaoyi family is a prestigious Feng Shui lineage with deep-rooted family knowledge, and they are also well-known figures in the Feng Shui realm.

The last gorgeous woman who came over in a qipao is named Ma Yuanling, and she is the foremost expert in Feng Shui among those who specialize in Passing Yin and Yang. Passing Yin and Yang, also known as Jin Suo Yu Guan, signifies that when a Feng Shui master passes by, they can swiftly and directly assess the Feng Shui situation of the place.

This indicates the precision, speed, and level of this family lineage. Jin Suo Yu Guan implies the rarity and difficulty in acquiring this technique, signifying an exceptionally formidable master.

These four individuals hold great prestige in the Feng Shui realm. This indicates their irreplaceable status. community. And my master is the most formidable among them all. The combined expertise of the individuals from these four families cannot surpass my master, Li Xuantong.

Because my master incorporates the specialties of all four families, he is a grandmaster in Feng Shui, uniquely creating techniques within the Qimen family. Everyone in the martial arts community above all others acknowledges his mastery of Feng Shui.

This is also why these four individuals immediately gave up on the idea of taking me as their disciple when they saw my master. They felt that they were no match for my master and had no qualifications to compete with him. The four families were determined to take me as their disciple, thinking it was a sure thing they could vie for. However, Li Xuantong, who hadn't appeared in the martial arts community for over a decade, unexpectedly, showed up here. They could only reluctantly abandon their plans.

These four individuals, along with my master, on the night when I was entangled by the elderly Wang with the Four Yang destiny, Granny Liu was at her wit's end, and I was hanging by a thread. The yellow weasels and foxes worshipped the red moon, creating a natural phenomenon.

During the night sky observation, they also discovered abnormalities and knew that a person with a special destiny had appeared in the world. So, they all rushed towards my home, creating the spectacle that occurred during the day.

Regardless of which master I chose to follow, my future would have been boundless. However, being under Li Xuantong's guidance was the best option. On the second day after Li Xuantong left, I woke up. Although I looked a bit weak, I had finally come back to life.

My family was very happy, yet also somewhat sorrowful. During the days I stayed at home, my parents and grandfather treated me exceptionally well, buying me lots of delicious food and drinks. They had never been this good to me before, giving me a pleasantly surprised feeling.

However, I had no idea what was about to happen. My father even had the idea of hiding me away. Since I had come back to life, when the Taoist came, we could say that I had gone on a long journey. The Taoist would naturally have no choice. But Granny Liu said there was no need for that. A man must stand between heaven and earth with integrity; promises made must be kept. Since we had agreed to it, we couldn't go back on our word.

Although my family was deeply reluctant, they had no choice but to follow Granny Liu's advice. Three days later, the Taoist indeed arrived.
