Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Shang Muchen secretly wrote down his location and the information of his companions and sent it to Liu Qingyang, but she did not reply immediately.

Secretly pulling the trigger of the water gun in his pocket, Shang Muchen walked on the outermost edge of the group, extremely vigilant, making sure he could see everyone.

He was terrified that these men might suddenly attack him from behind, knock him unconscious, and then bury him alive.

The others also had their own thoughts.

Xiao Jie kept calling Lu Mingdi, but Lu Mingdi's phone was constantly ringing and he wouldn't answer.

Wu Biao looked around anxiously, shouting and calling out Lu Mingdi's name.

"Right here?" Curly-haired Fangxuan asked Fujiwara Eikichi.

"Yes! I escaped from that abandoned building."

You must be careful and don't rush in, or you'll get lost and fall into the same loop as "Platform 8."

Shang Muchen suddenly asked, "Fujiwara Eikichi, it's such a long way, dozens of kilometers, how did you manage to run all the way from here to the city center and finally find me?"

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

"If you don't explain, I'm not going." With that, Shang Muchen turned and walked back resolutely.

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you soon enough," Fujiwara Eikichi said. "It was my guardian spirit, Ashura-maru, who, with Minami-chan's spiritual power, followed your scent and led me here."

"Guardian spirit? What's that?"

"Nan-chan is a shrine maiden; her spiritual power far surpasses mine."

Looking at Fujiwara Eikichi's attitude, Shang Muchen felt that what he said seemed to be true.

"Nan-chan? Blue Mountain Nan? That girl with bangs who looks a lot like Tomie, is she actually a shrine maiden?" Shang Muchen asked.

"Of course, she is the heir to the famous Blue Mountain Shrine in Shikoku."

Shang Muchen nodded and continued to follow at the back of the group at a leisurely pace.

Following Fujiwara Eikichi, the group arrived at a construction site that had been abandoned.

Climbing a small hill made of construction debris, Fujiwara Eikichi pointed to a spot not far ahead and said, "It's over there."

"Then hurry up and go!" Wu Biao was about to rush out when Xiao Jie stopped him.

"Fujiwara, you said your master was trapped over there by Shikamaru and Kurosaki Hideto, but I didn't see anything." Xiao Jie's eyes showed distrust as he spoke earnestly.

"Listen to yourself, there's not even a sound, and the phone is unreachable. What you're saying isn't very reliable."

"That's a barrier! A barrier! How can I explain it to you so you'll understand? You can't see inside from outside the barrier!" Fujiwara Eikichi pulled Shang Muchen over and said anxiously, "You explain it to them!"

Shang Muchen disdainfully swung his arm away, walked to the top of the earthen hill, and looked up in the direction Fujiwara Eikichi had pointed.

Just as he said, the unfinished group of buildings ahead did indeed look rather strange.

The fog was thick, and the smoke curled up. On this chillingly quiet summer night, the buildings, which should have been deserted, now seemed to exude the liveliness and vitality often found in rural mountain villages.

Looking around, this construction site occupies a considerable proportion of the entire community. A small, artificially dug canal, which is currently dry, separates the entire area from the rest of the community, forming a relatively independent area.

Standing at a low vantage point, Shang Muchen couldn't immediately assess the layout, distribution, or even shape of the entire area. He simply felt an instinctive resistance, sensing that the area ahead was indeed dangerous and that he shouldn't rush forward.

"They're right there! Hurry up! Help me rescue Master and Nan-chan, and I'll give you lots of money!" Fujiwara Eikichi said excitedly.

"How's it going? Why aren't you going in?" Wu Biao kept shouting.

Shang Muchen ignored the two of them, took out his phone, and quickly determined the direction. At this moment, everyone was facing due east. According to the Qimen Dunjia method of orientation, the east gate is the gate of injury, and bloodshed is inevitable.

Shang Muchen was also a beginner and didn't know much about formations and barriers. If Kurosaki Hideto had indeed deployed the formation according to the rules of Qimen Dunjia and hadn't changed the formation, then entering the formation through the east gate would indeed be disadvantageous.

Thinking of this, Shang Muchen recalled his fourth uncle's teachings: "It's better to see clearly than to calculate accurately." Don't rely on formulas and models; open your "mind's eye" and get straight to the essence of feng shui layout.

Regardless of the type of barrier, formation, or feng shui arrangement, they are all ultimately human actions involving the manipulation and utilization of "qi," the most fundamental energy in the universe.

Even the most skilled engineers or hydraulic experts must adhere to the basic principles of hydraulics when designing dams; they cannot go against the natural laws of water flow.

Similarly, even the most powerful barrier masters, strategists, or feng shui masters cannot defy the natural laws governing the flow of "qi".

Having figured this out, Shang Muchen calmed down and gazed into the distance.

"Can you even understand this? Stop playing tricks! Let's just charge in! Kill gods and Buddhas if they stand in our way, that'll be the real fun!" Wu Biao shouted.

"Shut up!" Shang Muchen snapped at him.

Curly-haired Fang Xuan pulled Wu Biao aside and whispered to him not to shout.

The crowd quieted down, and Shang Muchen tried to activate his "mind's eye" to observe calmly.

In the still, swaying, and hazy night, where not even the chirping of insects could be heard, Shang Muchen could vaguely make out the sounds of swords clashing, the roar of the ocean waves, and the laughter of a banquet…

After trying hard to quiet all those sounds down, Shang Muchen finally found that feeling of "warmth in his chest and a tickle in his head".

An invisible flame rose from the tailbone, traveled up the spine, slow at first and then faster, and after passing the cervical vertebrae, suddenly burst forth.

Shang Muchen felt his entire skull shatter, and his vision suddenly rose from the ground to the sky.

The buildings on the ground are no longer visible; in their place are clusters of energy vortices rotating clockwise like whirlpools.

These eddies rotate slowly and regularly around a center, much like planets revolve around the sun.

All the energy vortexes are three-dimensional donut-shaped spheres with a hole in the middle, from which strange light shines out.

Shang Muchen suddenly realized that these energy vortexes should be some kind of array or barrier, and each vortex represents a power.

Although he didn't know what the power was, it was obviously best to stay away.

In the vortex closest to his location, Shang Muchen saw a man wielding two swords fighting a group of people.

No, strictly speaking, this man is fighting against a phantom of light formed by the convergence of energy vortices.

Every time he kills an opponent, the opponent transforms into an energy vortex, which then rotates, converges, condenses, and solidifies into another enemy wielding a knife.

Shang Muchen saw it clearly: the man had been completely engulfed by a vortex and was trapped inside.

That person was Ashiya Rensaburo.
