Chapter 200: Chapter 36_2"Dinglingling... Dinglingling..."
Li Zhiyuan didn’t rush to place down the candles to send Little Huang Ying below, but walked slowly along the pond with her, trying to see if he could decipher the true mystery hidden within the pond.
But as they walked, Li Zhiyuan couldn’t gain any more insights; instead, Little Huang Ying who was following him started to show signs of restlessness.
Li Zhiyuan knew that it was because she had been summoned for too long.
What were originally hands resting on his shoulders, now turned into grasping claws, with the force getting stronger and the damp coldness soaking into Li Zhiyuan’s entire body.
For a moment, Li Zhiyuan found himself agitated and, as a result, struggling to maintain the state of Qi Observation, which became stuttering and faltering, like he was reading the cryptic scrawl of "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique" after having been interrupted earlier.
However, just at this moment, a sudden inspiration struck Li Zhiyuan’s mind.
He raised his hand, trying to observe the Feng Shui of the pond again, using the feeling he got from reading the cryptic and hastily written characters.
Under these irregular, twisted, and fold-like fluctuations, several previously unseen details suddenly emerged.
[Taiyin Fishing, moon reflecting over the lone pond, an advantageous site for burying noble women, accumulating blessings.]
This pond was an excellent site for Water Burial; if a noble woman from the family were to be buried here, it could nurture and protect the fortune of future generations.
The ancients were not fond of Water Burials because the water patterns were prone to changes, making it not only inconvenient for future generations to pay respects but also likely to disrupt the existing Feng Shui arrangement.
However, the custom of Water Burials has existed since ancient times, first because burial spots were precious, second because they were not easy to be tomb-raided, and third because some people had special identities and desired a burial unknown to others.
Although this pond has been greatly damaged, its basic Feng Shui configuration has been preserved.
Li Zhiyuan hadn’t noticed it before due to its damage, which is like a wrong problem to begin with; trying to apply the correct guidelines to it often leads to mismatched solutions.
But when it comes to Feng Shui configurations in this world, where could one find an absolutely undamaged perfection, unless it was just constructed?
Therefore, this kind of messy, mistake-in-and-out approach, in fact, is the correct way to solve practical issues.
In that case, his previous conjecture was wrong; the person who copied this text was not nervous and wrote the words in a terrible state, but deliberately included their practical understanding into the writing style.
This is truly... an unimaginably sophisticated technique.
Stealing someone else’s work, yet the thief understands it more profoundly than the original owner.
Why can it still be sure that it was plagiarized?
Because if the Liu Family themselves had grasped this method to enhance practical cognition, they wouldn’t purposefully write the characters neatly to increase the difficulty of understanding for their descendants.
And that day, when Liu Yumei scanned the book with its intentionally torn-off cover in his hands, she only noticed the messy and haphazard handwriting, completely failing to recognize it as her family’s "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique."
Li Zhiyuan became curious, who exactly copied this book?
But at least one thing could be confirmed now; the main burial spot that the group of water monkeys was
"Place the candles there, light them up!"
Run Sheng’s head and the inertia of his body conflicted, and with the Yellow River Shovel in hand, he executed a single-leg support spin.
Had he not quickly steadied his body by driving the shovel into the ground, he might have just fallen over and tumbled down into the pond.
After quickly getting up, Run Sheng swiftly arranged the candles, then took out the matches to light them.
Meanwhile, Li Zhiyuan jingled the bell perfectly, leading Little Huang Ying to the spot.
