The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 180 A Solution to the Existence Beneath the Mountain-Suppressing Mystic Seal
The feng shui masters asked Li Zhen a few questions, and after listening to his answers, they discussed the five mountains for a while.

The door to the lounge was opened, and Wesley and his two companions walked in.

After glancing at the scene inside, all three of them felt something was off.

The person who found them and notified them to come over didn't give them a reason; they just urged them to come quickly.

They thought they were being seen by an important person, but they were surprised to find themselves in this scene.

After exchanging glances for a while, the three of them looked around at the dozen or so people in the room and then focused their attention on Li Zhen, who was clearly different from the others.

Li Zhen, who was talking to a feng shui master, did not notice that there were three more people in the lounge.

The bespectacled man in a suit standing next to Wesley heard the feng shui masters' words sound familiar and, unable to resist his curiosity, squeezed to the table to listen.

Yuan Zhenxia, ​​who hadn't rested all night, was quite tired and fell asleep on a chair after entering the lounge.

The hushed discussions of the feng shui masters did not wake him.

He was only awakened by the creaking sound of the table being moved.

He rubbed his eyes and glanced through the crowd, suddenly noticing that Wesley, whom Li Zhen had mentioned to him, had arrived here.

Yuan Zhenxia immediately perked up, enthusiastically squeezed next to Wesley, greeted the bewildered Wesley, pulled him aside, and began to talk in hushed tones.

Both of them were from Hong Kong and had a lot in common, so they had a very pleasant conversation.

Yuan Zhenxia just asked Li Zhen why he invited Wesley and the other two over.

At that time, Yuan Zhenxia did not know that the person who had appeared was Wesley.

In addition to informing him that this person was Wesley, whom he wanted to meet, Li Zhen also told him that Wesley had a feng shui master by his side, and that this time he was asking this feng shui master to help him.

Yuan Zhenxia did not hide these things and told Wesley everything when Wesley asked.

It was only then that Wesley, who had arrived here in a daze, realized that he had probably been summoned for matters related to feng shui.

Of course, to be precise, it wasn't him who was invited, but his friend Xu Xiaoming.

Xu Xiaoming is an expert in feng shui and metaphysics, and his expertise in this field is extremely high. He is the most skilled feng shui master he has ever met.

This trip to Calinan to find the location of the Overlord's Armor Removal Site involves feng shui, which is why he tried every means to invite Xu Xiaoming to Calinan to help him.

But what puzzled him was that neither he, Xu Xiaoming, nor Wang Anna revealed that Xu Xiaoming was a feng shui master. They only said that he was a businessman who came to invest in Caledonian. Why would anyone know that Xu Xiaoming was a feng shui master?

Wesley glanced at Li Zhen and asked in a low voice, "Who is this gentleman?"

He had assumed that Yuan Zhenxia and Li Zhen were acquaintances, but what he heard was, "I don't know either."

"You don't know?" Wesley looked at Yuan Zhenxia in surprise.

Yuan Zhenxia honestly replied, "I really don't know. I met this gentleman in northern Southeast Asia, back then..."

He had a great liking for Wesley, and apart from the matter of Li Zhen burying himself, he told Wesley about most of his past experiences without hiding anything.

Wesley listened very attentively.

When he heard Yuan Zhenxia talking excitedly about the Overlord's Armor Removal Point, he was shocked and almost lost control of his emotions.

……

After a period of discussion, the feng shui master with the slicked-back hair took the lead and said, "Mr. Li, we have a general understanding of this formation."

“We don’t understand the runes here, but if we only consider their effects and not their specific principles, then the runes are not a problem.”

"We've learned quite a bit about the feng shui formation here. If we're not mistaken, this formation is meant to suppress something terrifying."

As soon as he finished speaking, the feng shui masters next to him nodded in agreement.

After everyone quieted down, the feng shui master with the slicked-back hair continued, "We don't know what kind of terrifying existence this formation is suppressing, that it would require such ruthless methods to suppress it."

"To be honest, among all my colleagues here, including myself, who have traveled all over the country and seen countless feng shui layouts, none of us have ever seen this kind of suppression method."

He drew a line on the five mountains on the table: "This method can be described as a perfect combination of human ingenuity and natural terrain. In the eyes of us feng shui practitioners, it is more attractive than a perfect beauty. I even suspect that there may be such a strange treasure land in this world."

At this point, he changed the subject and pointed to a middle-aged man with a mustache next to him, saying, "This is Mr. Wang Siyuan. Mr. Wang has a great reputation in the feng shui world, both at home and abroad. He is one of the top five feng shui masters in Hong Kong and one of the most powerful feng shui masters in Caledonian."

Li Zhen nodded to the feng shui master surnamed Wang.

Wang Siyuan returned the greeting with a demure clasped hands.

The slick-back-haired feng shui master then introduced three more famous feng shui masters, finally saying, "As for myself, I also have a small reputation in the feng shui world..."

As soon as he said this, the feng shui master surnamed Wang standing next to him said, "Mr. Zhou is too modest."

Others chimed in with a couple of comments.

The man with the slicked-back hair bowed to everyone and then said to Li Zhen, "I wonder what Mr. Li wants us to do? All of you here are capable people. If we can't help Mr. Li solve his problem, he certainly won't find anyone else in Calinan who can."

His tone carried a hint of arrogance, clearly indicating his confidence in his own abilities.

Ruan Wenbiao replied, "Please do your best, masters. We will certainly not treat you unfairly. Otherwise... I don't mind getting my hands dirty with blood."

The man with the slicked-back hair surnamed Zhou smiled with satisfaction.

Li Zhen said, "The seal formed by these five mountains is called the Mountain-Suppressing Mysterious Seal, and it does indeed suppress something terrifying."

“This formation can only suppress but not kill the opponent. I think that by adjusting the existing structure or adding something new, we can kill what’s inside, or at least speed up the process of annihilating the opponent.”

The feng shui master surnamed Zhou with his slicked-back hair nodded, exchanged a few words with the feng shui master surnamed Wang next to him, and then frowned and said to Li Zhen, "These five mountains are divided according to the five elements and connected as one. They are already a very perfect sealing formation. As the saying goes, pulling one hair affects the whole body. It will be quite difficult to make adjustments."

“We can come up with some solutions, but the problem is that we haven’t been to the site to see it, so we can’t be sure whether the adjustments we make will be effective.”

Li Zhen said, "I will go to the original location to check. You all just need to write down your plans for me."

After saying that, he added, "If you are unable to come up with a solution individually, you can form a group of two or three people and work together to provide me with a solution."

He himself was not proficient in feng shui or formations, but he had basic common sense and could distinguish which methods were useful and which were just used to appease him.

Naturally, he will eventually use the red-eyed bats to verify whether these people were telling the truth.

After listening to Li Zhen's words, the feng shui masters started discussing it enthusiastically again.

Ruan Wenbiao had someone fetch a large quantity of paper and pens. Li Zhen sat back in a chair and closed his eyes to rest.

"I wonder if we can talk to Mr. Li afterwards?" someone suddenly said.

Li Zhen opened his eyes and saw the bespectacled feng shui master who walked in with Wesley.

He remembered that this was a good feng shui master, whose name seemed to be Xu Xiaoming.

After glancing at Wesley and Yuan Zhenxia not far away, Li Zhen nodded and said, "Okay."

He knew without even thinking what this person wanted to talk to him about.

Wesley's biggest concern was definitely the matter of the Overlord's Armor Removal Cave.

Xu Xiaoming hesitated and said, "Mr. Li is right to find a feng shui master to solve his feng shui problems, but with so many feng shui masters gathered together, they may not be willing to use their unique methods to help Mr. Li solve his problems. Mr. Li should be careful that some people are just pretending and trying to fool you."

Li Zhen nodded.

Just five or six minutes later, two people came to Li Zhen with a blank sheet of paper.

"We are not very knowledgeable, but we have come up with a solution together. Mr. Li, please take a look." The leader smiled and placed the paper on a table in front of Li Zhen.

Li Zhen didn't look at the paper. Instead, he stretched out his hand, and a red-eyed bat hanging from the roof beam flew onto his arm.

Upon seeing such terrifying bats, the two feng shui masters, though unaware of Li Zhen's intentions, both changed their expressions.

The red-eyed bat's sinister crimson eyes were fixed intently on the leader.

The man's eyes immediately became glazed over.

Li Zhen asked, "Is the proposal you've put forward just a perfunctory response?"

The man nodded blankly: "Yes."

The remaining feng shui masters all looked at this person, but none of them uttered a sound.

The red-eyed bat let out a strange cry, and the two people standing in front of Li Zhen immediately covered their ears and squatted down on the ground in pain.

Thin streams of blood continued to flow from their ears.

Even though Li Zhen had tried his best to control the volume of the shriek emitted by the red-eyed bat under his will, the people in the room were still affected.

Amidst the shrieks of the red-eyed bats, everyone instinctively covered their ears.

Li Zhen said calmly, "I don't like being deceived, everyone. Let me remind you, if this happens again, someone will die."

The two people squatting on the ground looked terrified and let out screams.

With a pained expression, Nguyen Van Biu called over a few people from outside the door, who then dragged the two men out of the lounge.

The other feng shui masters were somewhat afraid when they saw the red-eyed bat in Li Zhen's hand.

This person wasn't the kind of person who could be easily fooled...

If you take the stuff and don't do the work, you might really die...

Half an hour later, the feng shui master with the slicked-back hair arrived in front of Li Zhen with a person.

Wiping his sweat, he placed the papers he was holding in front of Li Zhen and carefully said to him, "Mr. Li, this is the plan I devised. I noticed that the Mountain-Suppressing Mystic Seal seems to have a loophole, I don't know if it was left on purpose... We discussed it and felt that we could first expand this loophole and then guide it... Mr. Li, please take a look... This method was something that Mr. Wu and I discussed and came up with together..."

He spent more than ten minutes explaining his idea and the specific feng shui techniques involved to Li Zhen, even revealing his secret techniques.

After hearing Li Zhen's thanks, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wiping his sweat and making a few perfunctory remarks with a smile, the man with the slicked-back hair led the other person to sit down on one side.

About an hour later, the feng shui masters submitted a total of four proposals to Li Zhen.

By now, everyone except Xu Xiaoming and Wesley had left the lounge.

Xu Xiaoming put down his pen, handed the blank sheet of paper to Li Zhen, and said to Li Zhen, "Mr. Li, I am not very knowledgeable, and after thinking it over, I can only come up with this one solution. Please check it."

Li Zhen glanced at it a few times and then folded the paper onto the other papers.

Xu Xiaoming glanced at Ruan Wenbiao, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"You take all the masters out first, I'll have a chat with these few," Li Zhen said to Ruan Wenbiao.

After glancing at Wesley and the others, Ruan Wenbiao obediently led the resting feng shui masters out of the lounge.

Xu Xiaoming then smiled and said, "I glanced at them, and none of these people were just going through the motions for Mr. Li. The solutions they proposed were all very interesting. Some of them I wouldn't have thought of even if I racked my brains. The Feng Shui world is indeed full of hidden talents... Mr. Li will definitely be able to solve the problem he encountered this time."

Eager to return as soon as possible, Li Zhen didn't waste any time and directly asked Wesley and Wang Anna, who had surrounded him, "Do you want to ask about the Overlord's Armor Removal Point?"

Wesley and Anna Wang were both surprised, not expecting that Detective Li would directly say what they most wanted to know.

Ignoring their reactions, Li Zhen continued, "If you want to ask me about the specific locations of the three acupoints of the Overlord's Armor Removal Technique, I can only tell you that I don't know either."

“But I know that your father left behind some things, which should be in the hands of General Nguyen Van Ho.”

He said this while looking at Wesley.

Wesley's eyes widened: "Mr. Li knows about my father?"

Li Zhen didn't explain, but only said, "Something big might happen here tonight. If it does, it will be the best time to sneak into Ruan Wenhu's place to find something, because he won't have time for anything else then."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Wesley could react, Li Zhen picked up the stack of papers on the table and led the Red-Eyed Bat and the Banshee out of the lounge.

Consider those words a reward for Xu Xiaoming's proposed solution...

Yuan Zhenxia greeted Wesley and followed behind Li Zhen.

Li Zhen had Nguyen Van Biu lead the trembling feng shui masters out of Nguyen Van Ho's residence with him.

To Li Zhen's surprise, Nguyen Van Ho did not take any adverse measures against him until he left the residence.

After Li Zhen left, he sat in that conference room the whole time, and apart from exchanging a few words with Ruan Wenfeng, he didn't speak to anyone else...
