Chapter 661: line with translation of chapter title

NO．30：How could this be known?

Be aware, the kan-yu and feng shui that cover the East Asian cultural sphere cannot avoid terms like earth veins and dragon veins.

Even many source-energy cultivations also involve this knowledge concept; where does such terminology originate?

"East Flame!"

At Teresun's big break, the horse girls' leisure spots are naturally diverse, and among them, a training field that can overlook the playground is naturally one of the student gathering places.

And such an area with extremely high population density is very suitable for preaching and popular science!

After the illegal setup by a certain Fu Lai half-immortal, a junior high underclassman took up the banner of metaphysics, and with the help of several digital companions set up on a hastily built small stage, dispelling feudal superstition!

"Feng shui is a comprehensive source-energy science that integrates geophysics, hydrogeology, cosmology, meteorology, source-energy studies, environmental landscape studies, architecture, ecology, and human bodily information science into one!"

"Li Qi, you said last time that feng shui is a natural science!!" someone in the audience shouted loudly.

The little Feng Shui Master's eyes widened instantly, and the tail swaying behind him suddenly froze: "Originally, it is natural science; if you don't study source-energy arts, don't touch talismans and pulse-aligning techniques, those feng shui are still useful!"

"But many netizens say Feng Shui Masters are swindlers! Especially those from East Flame!" another person shouted.

"That's because their original world's feng shui has problems!" the little Feng Shui Master loudly rebutted, "Those netizens are all transmigrators; they come here and themselves need to learn feng shui source-energy!!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted: "But I read in books that Feng Shui Masters a hundred years ago were all swindlers!"

"That, that's because the feng shui back then also had problems!!" The brown-haired, red-pupiled little girl flushed with anger, especially when hearing the laughter below, she became even more anxious and shouted: "Really! The dragon veins of feng shui source from the northern part of East Flame, which is Everwhite Mountain!"

"From the mountain body to the crust, then to the mantle and core, extending outward, it gives rise to all dragon veins, pointing to the ancient Jidong, then affected by the Skyfall calamity, which my teacher calls the Feng Shui Great Calamity!"

"Feng Shui Great Calamity?" The crowd, for now, stopped heckling.

Among these children there was no substantial malice; seeing her so anxious, they at least understood to restrain themselves.

"When the earth veins overturn and feng shui undergoes great change, that is the Feng Shui Great Calamity!"

"Back then, almost all Feng Shui Masters couldn't use the dragon veins, and over time even those originally venerable masters were labeled swindlers, and some were even forced…… forced……"

The girl found it hard to continue, facing faces of her same age, each bearing innocent ignorance and curiosity.

It made her unconsciously wonder whether she herself had once worn that expression.

That is a dark history, and also merely a part of that period's dark history.

The hardship brought by the Skyfall incident is truly distant for today's children; even she herself only felt a twinge of shared sorrow when listening to the indoor teacher's lecture, seeing the teacher's expression so grievous it almost broke the heart.

That is not only pressure from the external environment, but also self-imposed pressure—the feeling of emptiness and panic when decades of learning suddenly become useless.

That is also the emptiness after losing what had become habitual, and also the genuine panic after one's power has been drained.

Furthermore, adding the doubts and sympathy coming from the surroundings……

The girl fell silent for a moment; seeing her dejected expression, the originally lively crowd also exchanged glances, and just as the whole thing seemed about to cool down, a calm voice from the crowd asked:

"How was the great calamity survived? Relying on that Pangaea Plan?"

"?"xN

The abrupt utterance was enough to draw attention, especially since it was a male voice.

However, neither the girl on stage nor the girl off stage immediately saw the person who suddenly spoke.

Only the girl on stage quickly composed her spirits and, for now, exclaimed: "Yes! Pangaea Plan!"

"A hundred years after the great calamity, the Pangaea Plan, named after the Pangaea supercontinent! Reorganizing the continental framework, even lifting the Jidong landmass again, the Pangaea Plan had countless masters' descendants and students jointly participating in the engineering design, and moreover was led by Mr. Guo from East Flame!!"

As she said this, the little Feng Shui Master's ears perked up again, and even the tail behind her began to sway again: "Back then, they were, under the premise that magic had failed and only science remained useful, working together to set things right!"

"Only by reorganizing and regularizing the earth veins did source-energy feng shui revive again!!"

"Are the dragon veins of Everwhite Mountain also like that?" someone in the crowd asked, the voice neutral, gender indiscernible.

"The premise of setting things right is that the starting point must be intact! The source of the dragon veins has always been stable! Being able to sufficiently restore the original course of the earth veins also relies on It retaining residual memory!"

"Is this even considered science?!" classmates in the crowd muttered.

"In short, it is highly scientifically reliable systematic knowledge, absolutely not those muddled feudal superstitions!" The girl raised her index finger enthusiastically, saying: "Feng shui is a discipline that can accurately bring people Luck/good fortune and Happiness/joy!!"

She was already engrossed, but then someone in the crowd said: "Ah~ The student council people are here."

This hadn't yet panicked those on stage, but off stage the crowd exploded: "Huh?! Run! It's the Empress!"

"I didn't watch! I didn't participate! I don't want to write a self-criticism!!"

"Ugh…" the little Feng Shui Master on stage was still frantically darting her gaze trying to locate the so-called student council members, while meanwhile a few pairs of hands from the side of the stage had already reached out, pulling her down and supporting her.

"Hurry up and run! I even saw Miss JunChuan JiangSheng, no time to dismantle the stall!"

"The great god Bai Xing manifests divine power…… Mmmm, go this way!!"

"The crowd is a bit chaotic, Xiao Bei, you hold steady Leki, I'll clear the way!"

"No problem, Xiao Zuan! Volcano and I will hold steady together; alas, Leki, what are you struggling with? Hurry up and run!"

"But I always feel that previous voice sounded somewhat familiar."

"Before? The voice that shouted about the student council coming and lacked any spirit?"

"No, oh, yes, no, I mean earlier… uh… I can't remember."

"Don't think about it! Catch up!"

The little Feng Shui Master's friendly small team, likewise amidst the clamor, was rushing against time; and before the small wooden stage that had just scattered, a cold-faced vice president and the secretary to the chairperson, who was holding his face and smiling helplessly, were watching the youth who alone remained at the stage's edge, greeting the two with a salute.

Beside the youth floated a strange device.

"Lin Dun trainer, did you inform Xiao Lin's classmate?" JunChuan JiangSheng felt somewhat headache, only sensing that the Lin Dun trainer had recently become more and more 'problematic'.

"Definitely it's you, I can tell." The nearby air tank also emphasized, she didn't care about the device beside her, just staring at Aomo.

"Just feeling amazed, I never underestimate the hearing of the horse girls." The novice trainer answered with a smile, causing the chairperson's secretary to glance at him several times.

It should be… an illusion, right?

"The content and tone are indeed an expression of awe, just that I've read too much of something amazing," JunChuan JiangSheng sighed, "You're not familiar with them, are you, Lin Dun trainer?"

"I believe Miss JunChuan, when listening to those kids' worries, also doesn't care whether they're familiar or not."

"Sophistry is also useless; you will still write together with them——"

Let them off this time, Miss Qi Cao.

JunChuan Miss? Qi Cao looked somewhat surprised at the suddenly betraying JunChuan secretary.

Although she was actually quite used to JunChuan Miss's 'betrayal'.

The cold empress and the warm secretary often act together, also serving as a black‑face and red‑face.

But she didn't expect that a phone would ring again just a few seconds later; it was the president's call.

I've sent people to clear the tables, go handle the disturbance over at the high school department, Qi Cao; I heard it was caused by the Golden Ship.

Okay, I'll go right away.

The empress who hung up the phone almost said through gritted teeth: 'That guy again! I'll have to leave first!'

She quickly ran off, leaving the two of them continuing to stare at each other, one with a flawless smile, the other with a helpless smile.

Miss JunChuan, aren't you going to help? I could actually urge on the workers the president called in, even lend a hand," Aomo said, turning his head to glance at the one dragging a heavy tire running along the trackside, and that faint blue brown figure not far off, "After all, I'm also supervising training here."

Lin Dun trainer, you seem to be busy with something else?" JunChuan JiangSheng looked at the device beside Aomo.

Just a small part‑time job that doesn't interfere with training.

I see, then I wish you success.

You too." Aomo gave a slight nod, watching her bow slightly and walk away, then he raised his hand and poked the nearby instrument.

Only his visible first‑person AR view expanded again, showing the crowd's silhouettes and the two gazes from up close that fell on the machine as it powered on.

Mr. Lin Dun, you've come at just the right time; we're fast approaching Heavenly Pool.

Faster than I expected, you all truly are experienced folks.

You flatter me; it's mainly because the road planning and transportation are outstanding, and moreover the reformed protection of Long White Mountain far surpasses that of White Mountain.

If word of this gets to the White Mountain Tourism Bureau, that'd be bad," Aomo chuckled, "Would you mind if I chatted a bit?"

Would it be a good tonic for mountain climbing?" someone from the expedition team also asked with a laugh.

I just hope it won't affect your mountain climbing.

That probably isn't the case; could it be the Long White Mountain wildman mentioned by some time‑traveler netizens? The data we gathered beforehand confirmed it's just rumors from their hometown.

Then you probably won't miss the data on the Dragon Vein.

We do have that; we've even compiled eleven legendary texts on this, all concerning the Dragon Vein changes of Long White Mountain, but this time we're conducting a volcanic survey commissioned by the Eastflame authorities, and this climate anomaly is indeed quite worrying.

Though Duo Li is quite happy here, he really likes it, so there shouldn't be any big problem." Miss Nao Man suddenly interjected, instantly making the expedition team members' expressions complex.

Some felt awkward, some curious, and some unconsciously touched their hats, as if the so‑called Duo Li had shaved their heads.

This nickname also made Aomo push up his glasses, recalling a certain penguin's stubborn beak.

Mr. Duo Li?

Yeah, he also said he met a new friend here.

What friend? A Ren Long?

Huh? Mr. Lin Dun, do you know it?

... I don't know it.
