“Ah, I see. Who would have thought that such a seemingly simple place could hide such a big secret?”
Stan and Aadam exclaimed almost in unison, “Mr. Bloomer, have you found the reason?”
Leo nodded confidently. “There is a geomancy formation here.”
“A what?” Stan and Aadam didn’t quite understand.
Outsiders just watched the excitement, and Leo didn’t want to explain it either. Even if he did explain it, it wouldn’t be of any use.
Nothing was absolute; as long as they knew what this geomancy formation was they would naturally find a way to break it.
Similarly, even if there was an extremely difficult geomancy formation, there was always a way to break it.
The hidden geomantic formation on the mountaintop of White Iris Mountain was called the “Underbite” geomantic formation.
“Underbite” geomantic formation was just a popular term. In professional terms, it meant that the negative and positive energies of this mountaintop had been reversed.
Reversal was not simply a matter of imbalance. Imbalance can be adjusted and corrected, but reversal required breaking the negative and positive energies before establishing them again. This required cultivation and methods at least at the level of a Spirit General.
Leo was currently a Great Spirit Master at the upper level, so even if he knew what geomantic formation it was, he was still powerless.
This feeling of powerlessness made Leo feel uncomfortable. He sighed and walked up to Aadam, saying helplessly, “Mr. Dickson, I currently don’t have the ability to solve the geomantic formation on this mountaintop. The only solution for now is to relocate the grave, and it must be done as soon as possible.”
“Ah…” Although Aadam was skeptical of Leo’s abilities, he still held hope. Hearing him say this, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Aadam had also considered relocating the grave, but that was the worst-case scenario.
Rural people attach great importance to the matter of grave relocation. “Rest in peace” is the principle, and unless necessary, graves are never moved. According to the elders in the village, relocating a grave in a short period of time could result in the Dickson family’s fortune being severed, or even affect the family’s ancestral worship.
Aadam was at a loss. “Mr. Bloomer, grave relocation is a major matter, and…”
“Mr. Dickson, please rest assured. Since I’m here, I will take care of the funeral ceremony for the grave relocation. Time is of the essence. We will start the work tomorrow at noon, and I will do my best to ensure that the grave relocation does not have any negative impact on your family.” Leo reassured Aadam.
Aadam’s face finally regained some composure. “In that case, I will trouble you, Mr. Bloomer.”
The grave relocation ceremony was indeed a piece of cake for Leo. However, there was still one thing he couldn’t figure out. The Bagua and the Nine Palaces position where White Iris Mountain was located did meet the conditions for forming a geomantic formation.
In mathematical terms, it had the necessary conditions, but what was the triggering factor, the catalyst?
The “Underbite” geomantic formation would not form without a reason. And the secondary energy field…
Could it be that there was something beneath White Iris Mountain?
In a place like this, if there was something special, it could only be an ancient tomb. Leo made a bold conjecture.
If it really was an ancient tomb that could create a secondary energy field and a geomantic formation, then the tomb must be extraordinary.
The grave must have been built directly above the tomb’s burial chamber inside White Iris Mountain, creating a suppressing pattern.
This would also explain why the other graves on White Iris Mountain didn’t have any issues, but it was specifically Aadam’s grandfather’s grave that encountered problems.
The so-called burial chamber of an ancient tomb was the overflow point of negative energy within the tomb.
Of course, this overflow point was just a metaphor and didn’t mean there was an actual passage from the tomb to the outside world.
Graves are considered negative dwellings, the resting place for the deceased. Ancient people paid great attention to these matters and hoped to bring their possessions to the afterlife.
Therefore, ancient tombs, especially those of nobles and even emperors, were designed by geomancy masters of that time.
In many cases, geomancy masters would set up formations inside the tomb or use special means to generate a geomantic formation, all in order to protect the tomb’s owner and their entire family’s fortune.
So the problem arises because it is the place where the dead reside permanently, and it is inevitable that negative energy will be generated.
Everything has a limit. After thousands of years, if the negative energy does not have a vent, it will not only disrupt the formations and geomantic arrangements inside the ancient tomb, but it will also bring misfortune to the descendants of the tomb’s owner.
Therefore, the placement of the grave’s eye is crucial. Many tomb raiders with some knowledge of geomancy will use divination to determine the location of the grave’s eye. Once the grave’s eye is identified, the entrance to the ancient tomb can be determined.
On the way back to the village, Leo suddenly thought of something and asked, “Mr. Dickson, I believe you have a son, right?”
Aadam, who was riding a tricycle, didn’t understand the meaning behind the question but nodded, saying, “Yes, I have a six-year-old son.”
Leo nodded as if he had realized something and muttered to himself, “So it seems.”
Curious, Stan asked, “Mr. Bloomer, is there a problem?”
“Didn’t you notice that ever since the burial of his grandfather, it has been the female members of the family who have encountered problems?”
“Yes!” Leo’s words reminded Stan, and he instantly understood, “Mr. Bloomer means that if my cousin’s child is a girl, she would also…”
Leo nodded, and Stan took a sharp breath, feeling a tingling sensation on his back.
When they arrived in the village and returned to Aadam’s house, Aadam’s father was still acting irrational, with the intelligence of a two or three-year-old child. He was kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, drawing something with chalk.
As a traditional medicine practitioner, Leo naturally had a way to restore Aadam’s father’s sanity, but it was not the right time yet.
Leo found paper and a pen and wrote down the props they would need for tomorrow, handing it to Aadam for preparation.
As for dinner, they had it at Aadam’s aunt’s house.
Rural people are hospitable, especially when they found out that Leo was a traditional medicine practitioner and a geomancy master who would help relocate the grave for Aadam’s family. The hospitality increased even more.
Although the meals were simple, they were delicious and not something one could easily find in the city.
During dinner, Leo learned that Aadam was divorced and currently raising his child alone. The child was attending primary school in the county and staying in the dormitory, while Aadam was doing construction work in the county town. It was not easy for him to manage everything alone, and now with this issue at home, it was even more challenging.
Aadam’s sister was buried three days ago, laid to rest alongside their mother. The burial site was on the mountainside of White Iris Mountain.
In the countryside, the nightlife is not as vibrant as in the city. After dinner, families either visit each other or sit in their own yards, enjoying the cool breeze and chatting, or watching television.
Of course, with the popularity of the internet, one thing is the same as in the city-children rarely sit and chat with adults.
Before going to sleep, Stan finally asked the question that had been on his mind for a while, “Mr. Bloomer, I don’t understand why it is the female members who are encountering these problems?”
