Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

Chapter 111 The Fortune Teller of the "Jubilee Year" 6

After graduating from high school, Liu Yuxi chose the architecture department of Jiangshi University. She originally wanted to choose the archaeology department, but the archaeology department was too hard. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to choose the architecture department instead.

The shop is still being looked after by Sister Wang. She had excellent grades in college and always visited the library. Later, she went on to graduate school. Because she helped her supervisor with something, her supervisor introduced her to a feng shui master. After all, most of the buildings have been consulted before construction begins.

Their mentor is quite famous in the construction industry, has participated in many projects, and has a lot of dealings with feng shui masters. The Master Li he introduced is someone the government often collaborates with.

Even if we don't say that Master Li's level is the best in the country, he is still among the top few in the country.

Master Li witnessed Liu Yuxi's learning ability and her superb skills in divination. Moreover, Liu Yuxi was not entirely without any foundation in Feng Shui.

She learned the art of Qimen Dunjia from the Xiaoyao Sect in the Tianlong world. It was precisely because she was proficient in Qimen Dunjia that she could tell fortunes quickly and accurately. In addition, she read the book left by Liu's father in this world, so she can also be considered to be involved in Feng Shui.

Seeing that Liu Yuxi was very interested in feng shui, Master Li took a liking to her talent and accepted her as his disciple. Liu Yuxi was finally able to systematically learn feng shui.

Feng shui has always been a mysterious and complex discipline. It encompasses geology, geography, ecology, landscape architecture, architecture, and aesthetics, making it a comprehensive theory of architecture and the environment that integrates numerous disciplines.

Feng shui, also known as geomancy, geomancy, landscape geomancy, house selection, feng shui, feng shui, and form analysis.

Why is it called Feng Shui? The name Feng Shui means that it is a discipline that studies the rules governing the operation of heaven and earth.

Why is it called the "Green Bag Technique"? It originates from Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is said that Guo Pu obtained the Green Bag Classic from Huang Shigong, and thus wrote the "Book of Burial," which is why later generations called it the Green Bag Technique.

The Book of Burial states: "Burial is about harnessing vital energy. Vital energy disperses with the wind and stops at water. The ancients gathered it to prevent it from dispersing and guided its flow to ensure it stopped. This is called feng shui. In the art of feng shui, obtaining water is the best, and sheltering from the wind is the next best."

This is the earliest origin and definition of Feng Shui.

Why is it called Qingwu Technique? This originates from Qingwuzi. During the Yellow Emperor's era, there was a famous geomancer named Qingwuzi. Ge Hong, in his writings, said that Qingwuzi was a disciple of Peng Zu. Of course, this is a legend. However, later on, Qingwu came to represent Feng Shui.

Why is it called the art of geography? Because the term "geography" first appeared in the book *I Ching* (Book of Changes)—"Looking up at the heavens, surveying the earth." Feng shui is essentially a discipline that surveys the heavens and the earth, hence the name "the art of geography."

Throughout China's thousands of years of history, from the imperial court to the common people, everyone has believed in the magical effects of Feng Shui.

In ancient times, the imperial court even had specially appointed officials to serve as feng shui masters, responsible for selecting sites, arranging layouts, choosing auspicious dates, and planning for the government. This demonstrates the importance of feng shui.

In Feng Shui, the two most commonly used theoretical foundations are the Hetu Luoshu and the Big Dipper.

The Hetu and Luoshu are recorded in the Book of Changes (I Ching). The Hetu represents the innate (pre-heaven) and the Luoshu represents the acquired (post-heaven) aspects.

The Big Dipper, in astronomy, consists of seven stars: Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Mizar, Mizar, and Alkaid.

In addition, there are two stars on either side of the Big Dipper, called Zuo Fu and You Bi.

In Feng Shui, it is often said that "there are nine stars in the sky and nine palaces on the earth," which is the principle of Qi. It combines the Big Dipper with the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams for application.

Why combine the nine stars in the sky with the nine palaces on earth? The most fundamental logic of the I Ching is the unity of heaven and man, a logic that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

There are stars in the sky and mountains and rivers on the ground. Humans live between heaven and earth and are influenced by them. Therefore, we must respect the principles of the operation of heaven and earth.

If one can grasp the operating principles, one can achieve harmony between humanity and nature, thereby guiding one's life and reaching a higher level.

Feng shui is like a good medicine; it requires a kind heart as a catalyst to maximize its efficacy, cure the ailments of fate, and heal the ills of both the living and the dead.

Before adjusting the feng shui of your home and residence, I advise you to first adjust the feng shui of your mind and body. A broad mind leads to smooth energy flow, smooth energy flow leads to good fortune, and good fortune leads to success.

Wind is qi (vital energy). Those who gather qi will gain wealth, those who are even-tempered will gain fortune, and those who are constantly angry will lose luck. By properly circulating the qi of body and mind, one will surely receive the blessings of the five elements and six qi.

Because the state has not established management systems and assessments for the Feng Shui industry like those of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the current Feng Shui community is rife with charlatans. Many fraudsters operate with just a compass, creating a corrupt and chaotic atmosphere in the Feng Shui world, making it difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake practices.

The superior geomancer practices geomancy with the Tao, the intermediate geomancer practices geomancy with the art, and the inferior geomancer practices geomancy by deliberately mystifying it.

Feng shui can make people poor, but it cannot prevent the poor from striving for success; it can make people lowly, but it cannot prevent the lowly from cultivating their character; it can make people rich, but it cannot enable them to cultivate virtue. Good feng shui needs to be combined with postnatal efforts, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, in order to integrate the benefits of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so that the poor can be blessed and the rich can become noble.

Feng shui has been passed down for thousands of years, and its continued existence must have its reasons.

Yin and Yang and the Five Elements originally came from the same source, but over the course of thousands of years of history, Feng Shui scholars of all dynasties have established their own schools, summarized their personal experiences, written books and established their own schools of thought. Some of them have worked to promote the academic field, while others have worked to make a name for themselves in the world.

Over its long history, Feng Shui has developed into numerous schools of thought due to differing emphases in its understanding.

Among them, the two most basic schools are: one is the Form School, which focuses on achieving harmony between heaven, earth, and man in spatial form and emphasizes the shape of the landform, such as "a thousand feet is the momentum, a hundred feet is the form", so it is also called "Form Method, Landform, Three Harmonies";

Another school is the Liqi School, which focuses on achieving harmony between heaven, earth, and humanity in the time sequence, such as: Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Four Seasons and Five Directions, the Eight Trigrams and Nine Winds, and the Three Cycles of Qi. Therefore, it is also called the Three Cycles School or the Lifa School.

Before the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the analysis of mountains and rivers was based on the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, with emphasis placed on the physical features of the landscape, as exemplified by Guo Pu's "The Book of Burial" from the Jin dynasty.

After the Yuan and Ming dynasties, emphasis was placed on the harmony between heaven and earth, with the principle of Qi as the most important factor. People followed the example of the earth and heaven, and Shao Yong's theory of "the convergence of hexagrams, Qi, and fortune" became extremely popular.

In Feng Shui, "Form Method" is mainly used for site selection and shape selection; "Principle Method" focuses on determining the orientation and layout of indoor and outdoor spaces; in addition, there is "Day Method" used to select auspicious days and times for construction; and "Talisman Method" is a measure to remedy unfavorable choices in other methods.

Feng shui is divided into two categories according to its application: Yangzhai feng shui, also known as Yangzhai xiangfa, which is specifically for the selection and layout of the city and residences where the living reside; and Yinzhai feng shui, also known as Yinzhai zaofa, which is specifically for the selection and layout of the tombs and graves of the deceased.

Feng shui distinguishes between dwellings in different environments, such as those in towns, open fields, and valleys, as seen in the book "San Yuan Di Li". Each of these distinctions has its own emphasis in the application of feng shui.

For dwellings in open fields and valleys, which are closely related to the surrounding natural geographical environment, emphasis is placed on form and principle; while for dwellings in towns and villages, which are limited by their external environment, both form and principle are often considered.

The Form School of Feng Shui emphasizes finding the dragon vein, observing the surrounding landforms, examining the water features, locating the acupoint, and determining the orientation; while the Compass School emphasizes the theories of mutual generation and restraint of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Eight Trigrams and the Nine Palaces, and has established a set of rigorous on-site operating tools—the compass—to determine the orientation of site selection and planning.

Regardless of whether it is the Form School or the Principle School, although numerous practical methods have been developed throughout history, they must all follow the following three principles: the principle of harmony between heaven, earth, and man; the principle of yin-yang balance; and the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.

The schools of Feng Shui are often contradictory, with even more dross in their teachings. Moreover, most of the ancient books on Feng Shui only transmit formulas without explaining the methods, which means that those who aspire to learn Feng Shui can search through many books but only know one aspect without understanding the other. They can memorize the formulas but not understand the principles, and when it comes to practical application, they don't know where to start.

Therefore, if one doesn't have a teacher and relies solely on self-study, it's truly impossible to know where to begin in the art of Feng Shui. Many techniques and spells are passed down orally from generation to generation.

Master Li specializes in the Form School, and also has some knowledge of Qi Theory, but once you enter this circle, you'll always have the opportunity to learn it all!
