Chapter 802: Extra Chapter 4: 39

Yes, that protruding piece looks exactly like a forked snake tongue.

And behind the snake tongue, a huge snake head has preliminarily formed; it only needs the arrival of another flood season to emerge from the water.

This is the classic Reverse Water Facing the Hall, True Dragon Entering the Chief Pattern; for the past fifty years, only this Reverse Water Facing the Hall has existed, with wealth and noble energy rushing straight at your Meng family's ancestral grave, causing the Meng family to rise, but I said before, the feng shui pattern of this area has always been changing, and the variable lies opposite.

You can't just look at the developed side opposite; you need to look further east, at that mountain range—behind the forked snake tongue lies something hibernating that is far more than just a big snake!

When the next flood season arrives, the True Dragon opposite will take shape, wade through the water, and your Meng family's feng shui treasure land will directly become a living target; at that point, the true feng shui treasure land will change hands.

Xiao Jiu's words, accompanied by her finger drawing circles, were crystal clear.

Even Old Meng, who originally knew nothing about feng shui patterns, now could roughly see it.

People become sharper with age, especially someone in such a high position—truly, a hint is enough.

"Xiao Jiu Zhanggui, from what you said earlier, I gather this might not be natural formation but someone secretly manipulating everything behind the scenes."

"I'm not targeting anyone; it's just a reasonable guess." Xiao Jiu said, "After all, the natural environment changes unpredictably over time; any heavy rain or minor crustal movement could alter the original terrain trend. After decades of wind and rain, why would the opposite terrain undergo such a huge change, and just happen to be aimed at the Meng family?"

Old Meng didn't understand Xiao Jiu's meaning.

Hui Moqiong, however, understood: "Old Meng, think about that Golden Compass and your several deceased descendants..."

Old Meng then realized; even leaning on his cane, his whole body was still swaying on the verge of collapse, and Hui Moqiong quickly reached out to support him.

After Old Meng finally managed to steady his breath, Xiao Jiu then gave him a detailed analysis.

"You said that back then you had a mishap, nearly losing your official position; that must have been the time when they started tampering."

"When the True Dragon had not yet formed, the opposing party's fate and family fortune could not withstand such a great feng shui pattern; if they rashly replaced you, they might not end well, so they could only endure hardship, decade after decade, slowly sapping the Meng family's qi and altering their fortune."

"That Golden Compass is the key to turning fortunes, and the children used in the blood sacrifice of the Golden Compass were never part of your Meng family; they were... bait brought by the Golden Compass itself."

Old Meng fully understood: "These baits are used to lure the unformed True Dragon—that is, the giant python opposite—so it rushes toward our Meng family."

Hui Moqiong said with relief: "Old Meng, you are wise."

Xiao Jiu narrowed her eyes gazing at the opposite continuous mountain range; if she wasn't mistaken, that range is the true source of the Golden Compass, and also where Tang Tang's archaeological team discovered the broken stele.

It is also where Liu Junyan is about to pass through the earth's veins!

Xiao Jiu felt shocked in her heart.

Just what kind of feng shui master did the opposing side find, able to calculate this great fortune decades ago?

They calculated that this mountain range in Zhejiang buried royal nobility, and that decades later, this vein would welcome a True Dragon wading through?

The Meng family is fortunate.

If there were no human interference, the Meng family could indeed keep rising straight to the heavens.

When Xiao Jiu first analyzed Old Meng's physiognomy, she confirmed this.

Yet someone insists on defying heaven and changing fate.

The opposing side not only factored in the Meng family, but also the royal nobles buried in that mountain range, and Liu Junyan—all were included in their calculations.

Xiao Jiu could ignore the Meng family, ignore the great tomb in that mountain range, ignore the Golden Compass, but she could not ignore Liu Junyan.

Clarifying all the earth's veins and dragon veins of China is Liu Junyan's duty.

Xiao Jiu believes he has the ability to survive this ordeal safely, but facing the opposing side's such clever methods, he will surely have to exhaust his efforts.

Especially without this Golden Compass, how much Merit and Xiūwéi would Liu Junyan need to fill the gap!

Not knowing would have been fine.

Now that she knows, Xiao Jiu cannot possibly remain indifferent.

She must send that Golden Compass back before the flood season arrives!

And this flood season will certainly not follow past rainfall patterns, but rather...

Thinking this, Xiao Jiu immediately said: "Old Meng, let's go back first; I've taken that Golden Compass, and as a trade I will resolve your Meng family's current difficulties, ensuring your descendants' safety, but from now on, you must not ask about anything I do—just fully cooperate."

Old Meng immediately said: "Since I sought out Xiao Jiu Zhanggui, I have already prepared to fully cooperate; Xiao Jiu Zhanggui, tell me what you need me to do."

Xiao Jiu also wasn't polite: "Get in the car first; we'll talk inside."

Hui Moqiong drove back, with Xiao Jiu and Old Meng sitting side by side in the back, chatting in detail.

"Every move of the Meng family is surely watched by them; we are now at their critical juncture, and the strength behind me is evident. Compared to confronting me head-on, they might prefer to arrange everything in advance, wanting to bring forward the flood season and achieve the effect they desire; at the very least they'd need to set up an altar and perform rites, praying for rain and such."

"My people will covertly investigate; their actions are faster, more professional, and more hidden, but you can't just do nothing on your side, so I need you to also send a team to the opposite bank to discreetly inquire and stir up some movement."

Old Meng immediately made a phone call, instructing his grandson to handle this.

Xiao Jiu continued: "The child in your great-grandson's wife's womb is not an ordinary kid; judging from the appearance and demeanor of the previous girls, she should be a spirit beast, and her birth time must coincide with the arrival of the floodwaters, for she is the bait, the key to everything."

"I must return the Golden Compass to its original place before all this happens, and at the same time I need to take Gu Ya with me; she might suffer some hardship, but I guarantee to bring her back safely—is that okay?"

"Okay." Old Meng readily agreed: "I will explain the situation clearly to Gu Ya's parents and do their ideological work; since in-laws are one family, I believe they will understand."

After this matter was settled, Xiao Jiu's heart eased somewhat.

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, after a few pleasantries, Xiao Jiu went straight to the point: "Master Huiquan, I recall your temple enshrines several small pagodas, right?"

"No need, no need; we'll provide personnel and incense oil money, and personally go to invite..."

No need, no need, we'll provide manpower and incense-oil money here, and personally go over to invite…
