Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Shang Muchen asked his fourth uncle in a low voice, "What does 'cunning' mean?"

Uncle Si explained earnestly, "What we men practice is the art of 'observing qi' and assessing the heavens."

To learn this skill, one must first open the "Five Eyes," namely the Mind Eye, the Dharma Eye, the Wisdom Eye, the Heavenly Eye, and the Buddha Eye.

It doesn't matter which of the five eyes is opened; once the eyes are opened, there is a chance to see the flow of Qi between heaven and earth.

Other four-eyed people need to undergo special training, while the "mind's eye" is actually an innate talent that every ordinary person possesses.

However, ordinary people often suppress their feelings for years because of life's hardships, thus blocking their own "heart's eye".

Xiao Chen, did something particularly happy happen to you last night?

"Hmm, I am indeed happy..."

"That's right," Uncle Si nodded with a smile. "Humans are the spirit of heaven and earth. In fact, humans inherently possess supernatural powers that can see through heaven and earth. It's just that ordinary people often create countless troubles out of thin air, thus obscuring their inherent supernatural powers."

Once you remove your worries and break through your mental barriers, supernatural powers will naturally emerge; everyone is the same.

Heaven is fair to all beings. Before achieving enlightenment, weren't the Taoist masters and Buddhas just ordinary people like you and me?

"You're right," Shang Muchen nodded.

Arriving at a garbage bin near the roadside in the residential area, Shang Muchen recalled the scene he had encountered late last night, which had taken place right here.

The low wall had been cleaned with a high-pressure water gun, but faint traces of blood could still be seen.

"Manager Sun, are there many stray dogs in your neighborhood?" Uncle Si asked.

"Master Shang, to be honest, we are a high-end community with no stray cats or dogs, not even one."

But recently, for some reason, every night, stray cats and dogs from several nearby blocks all come running into our neighborhood.

During my night patrols, I've seen it several times: packs of stray dogs, like a gang of energetic young men getting into a fight, running towards Tianlu Jiayuan in droves. It's really weird.

Fourth Uncle nodded, looked around, and then looked at a high-rise building in the middle of the community, saying, "Let's go take a look at this building."

"This is the most expensive apartment for foreigners in Tianlu Jiayuan. It's for rent only, not for sale," the property manager explained. "All the apartments in this building are directly rented by our company, and the rooms are considered high-end even in Beijing."

Fourth Uncle instructed Shang Muchen: "Relax, be more observant, and observe carefully."

"Yes. Fourth Uncle, what are you observing?"

"Observe what's not right," Uncle Si said with a smile. "Use your brain less and your heart more. Trust your intuition, take it slow, and you'll find your way around it."

Shang Muchen followed his fourth uncle and, led by the property manager, headed towards the foreign-related apartments.

The moment they entered the building, the three of them brushed past a middle-aged man in a suit, carrying a large briefcase and wearing thick glasses.

Uncle Si suddenly stopped, watching the person's hurried departure, and asked the property manager, "Who was that person?"

The property manager scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said as if suddenly realizing something, "He's a tenant, he rents a room on the second floor of this building, his name is... his name is Kurosaki Hideto."

"A Japanese devil?" Uncle Si raised an eyebrow and pressed, "What's this guy doing? How long has he been staying here?"

"Uh, I remember he stayed for more than two months. If I remember correctly, the guest registration information was that he was an engineer from Tokai Tsutatsu Electric Co., Ltd."

By the way, he's already terminated the lease and doesn't even want his deposit back; he's in a hurry to leave.

"Oh?" Fourth Uncle frowned, lost in thought.

"Fourth Uncle, what's wrong?"

"I think there's something wrong with that grandson's aura. It's eerie, sinister, and incredibly dark. Something's not right, very not right!" Uncle Si shook his head repeatedly, then suddenly slapped his thigh and asked the property manager:

"Can we go check out the house he's renting?"

"I'll ask the office if they have the password to his room."

Enter the access code, push open the door, and a strong scent of incense wafts out.

Shang Muchen wrinkled his nose and glanced at his fourth uncle.

Fourth Uncle's face was ashen; he rarely had such a serious expression, a stark contrast to his usual jovial demeanor.

Shang Muchen didn't disturb his fourth uncle. He tried to relax and observe the room.

This is a luxurious suite with one bedroom and one living room, and the two rooms together cover nearly 100 square meters.

The rooms on the second floor are not high, and you can see the trees in the neighborhood from the window.

Shang Muchen suddenly realized that, looking out the window from the balcony, not far away was the spot where the huge black dog had devoured the stray dog ​​the night before.

I walked around the house and didn't find anything unusual. The sofa was a sofa, the TV was a TV, and everything was very clean and tidy.

"Has it been cleaned?" Fourth Uncle asked.

The property manager shook his head and said, "This resident never lets the cleaning staff into the house. We always respect our customers' habits, so we have never disturbed them."

"But this guy's got some serious taste! The house looks like no one's ever lived in it; even the blankets are made so neatly. He's really something."

"Yes, no one has ever lived here," Uncle Si said quietly, "but those who have lived here aren't necessarily people."

The property manager was taken aback, then grinned and asked, "Master Shang, don't scare me. What do you mean?"

Fourth Uncle beckoned to Shang Muchen: "Little Chen, open the map on your phone, let me take a look."

Shang Muchen unfolded his phone and displayed a map of the surrounding area.

Uncle Si stroked his chin, looking intently, and muttered to himself, "Xiaoba River, Anning River, the subway loop line runs between the two rivers. This area used to be a steel mill, but it was demolished and rebuilt into a residential area..."

Tsk tsk, oh dear, what is this grandson trying to suppress?

Something's not right! What is he planning to refine?!

Xiao Chen, take out your phone and look it up now. How far is a place called Eagle and Dog House from here?

Shang Muchen entered "Eagle and Dog House" into the map software but couldn't find the location.

"No, Xiao Chen, I'm not asking you to look on this map now. Look on ancient maps, at least those from the Qing Dynasty."

After searching online for a long time, Shang Muchen concluded: "It's roughly around our current location, but the exact location is hard to pinpoint, as it was demolished many years ago."

"Hmm, it seems I guessed right."

The property manager scratched his head, puzzled: "Master Shang, after all this talk, have you found a problem?"

"It's hard to pinpoint a serious problem right now, but the minor one is right here in this room!" Fourth Uncle walked around the room again, seemingly having made a discovery, and turned to Shang Muchen to say.

"Xiao Chen, let me test you. Now, rely on your intuition, don't use your brain, and look around the house to see if there's anything wrong with it."

Shang Muchen wandered around and eventually entered the bedroom.

There was an empty dressing table in the bedroom, and Shang Muchen didn't know why, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt awkward about it.

I don't know where the idea came from, but he reached out and moved the dressing table without thinking.

The dressing table was large, but quite light; it was moved in no time.

When the dressing table was moved aside, the scene that appeared before them stunned all three of them.

On the wall behind the dressing table, there is a mural of a huge black dog.
