Chapter 270

"Reading grand-scale feng shui requires talent! This way of marking things on a map is actually a kind of shortcut when it comes to reading grand-scale feng shui."

"It means displaying the mountains, rivers, and terrain of feng shui on a two-dimensional plane for everyone to see."

"So if you want to understand the feng shui formation that Wang Canghai set up by looking at the map, you need a bit of spatial imagination."

Hearing these words, many people began to question him directly.

"Mr. Zhang, a flat view isn't easy to look at—why not show us a three-dimensional one?"

"Yeah, my spatial imagination has always been terrible, I never even passed geometry! I can't make heads or tails of it at all!"

"I feel like a three-dimensional view would be more intuitive, wouldn't it?"

Facing these doubts, Zhang Lin said mercilessly, "Everyone, stop dreaming!"

"If you can't even understand a two-dimensional map, put into three-dimensional space, you'd be even more lost than in two dimensions."

"Setting that aside, let me ask a random question now."

"Suppose you're standing on the peak of Mount Zhangbai, with your back to Tianchi—what mountain range should you see?"

"What is the general orientation of this mountain range?"

Facing this question, almost no one in the room could answer.

Put plainly, this was a geography question, but in reality there were many factors to consider.

Anyone who could answer this question on the spot would at least have the mountains and rivers of Xia Country memorized by heart!

To the point where, without looking at a map, they could determine their location solely by direction and the rise and fall of the mountains!

Just this one step alone is a level most ordinary people find hard to reach!

And what Zhang Lin said next stung even deeper.

"So, everyone can't even answer a question like this."

"Even if I dropped you into three-dimensional space, you still wouldn't be able to see anything!"

"The question I just asked is entry-level knowledge for a grand-scale feng shui master."

"You must at least reach the level where you can answer my questions immediately to be qualified to learn grand-scale feng shui!"

"So, I marked the treasure-eye position on the map not out of laziness, but to accommodate everyone."

Hearing this, many people were already wounded to the core!

Damn it, this is like getting hammered by the geography teacher at school, and then getting hammered by Zhang Lin all over again!

Zhang Lin looked around and saw that everyone was still lost in a fog.

So he simply picked up a pen and started drawing between the three points.

After connecting the points, he also added details at the Mount Zhangbai point, sketching out the shape of a dragon's head.

At this, many people suddenly understood!

Sounds of sudden realization rose one after another throughout the room.

"Holy crap, so that's how it is?!"

"Isn't this a dragon?"

"It is a dragon! After Mr. Zhang drew it, I can tell it's a dragon!"

"Mount Zhangbai happens to be the dragon's head—what a clever combination of positions."

"So this is grand-scale feng shui? The method of reading dragon veins from the terrain of mountains and rivers?!"

"But this dragon seems incomplete—it has a body and a head, why does it feel like there's no tail?"

At this point, many people, with Zhang Lin's help, had already understood the course of this dragon vein.

And the incomplete situation of the dragon vein missing its tail was also noticed by everyone.

Zhang Lin picked up his pen and said slowly, "Everyone, look here—King Lu Shang's tomb in the Qi-Meng Mountains, the Reclining Buddha Ridge underground palace in Guangxi, and Mount Zhangbai."

"Connected by a curve that follows the coastline, the shape is strikingly familiar—it is unmistakably a faintly visible dragon vein!"

"This rather indistinct dragon vein is a water-emerging dragon, also called the Emperor Qianlong Emerging from the Sea!"

"The point where it emerges from the sea is right here!"

As Zhang Lin spoke, the marker in his hand slowly came down on a spot!

Then a complete Emperor Qianlong Emerging from the Sea formation officially appeared before everyone's eyes!
