Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

On the stage, the remains of the Rat King, dismantled by "Rat Exterminator No. 1", gradually disappeared.

However, beneath the wreckage, another strange thing appeared.

Shang Muchen and Liu Qingyang both came closer and could clearly see that there was a huge black rat pattern painted on the stage floor.

Shang Muchen recognized at a glance that the rat pattern was exactly the same as the "black dog" pattern he had seen in the Tianlu Jiayuan community before.

Shang Muchen squatted down and observed carefully, discovering that the black rat pattern was deeply embedded in the wooden board of the stage.

"I can use your headlamp," Shang Muchen said. "Do you have a small knife or anything like that?"

Liu Qingyang took off the headlamp, and Shang Muchen put it on. Xu Lele handed Shang Muchen a small screwdriver, and Shang Muchen scraped it. Sure enough, just like the black dog pattern he had seen before, the black rat pattern had also seeped into the wooden board.

The wooden planks of the stage were very rotten, with large cracks. Shang Muchen told Liu Qingyang and Xu Lele to get out of the way, and he used the screwdriver in his hand to pry it open a few times. With a snap, he pried open a piece of the floor.

A foul stench emanated from beneath the floor.

Countless dead small animals were piled up haphazardly under the floor.

"Ugh! How disgusting!" Liu Qingyang waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Get out of the way, I'll clean it up!"

As she pulled the trigger, the small animal carcasses beneath the floor were decomposed and disappeared under the light of "Rat Exterminator No. 1".

Shang Muchen took a picture of the rat pattern on the stage, then forcefully pried open several floorboards, removing all the floorboards under the rat pattern and cleaning out all the rotten things underneath.

Shang Muchen simply asked Liu Qingyang to remove all the wooden planks from the stage.

He had an inexplicable intuition that there was some ominous connection between the black rat pattern and the black dog pattern, and that they should not be left behind.

Finally, Liu Qingyang said helplessly, "Oh dear, the power's out. Let's stop here."

As the wooden floorboards painted with a huge black rat pattern were dismantled by "Rat Exterminator No. 1," the entire environment seemed to undergo an inexplicable change.

The lobby seemed brighter than before, the lingering smell of decay in the air had disappeared, and even the noise had increased, with the faint sound of cars driving outside the building audible.

The three of them felt as if they had left a mysterious otherworld and returned to reality, experiencing a sense of rebirth.

"Mission accomplished!" Xu Lele nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go back, come to my house and have a meal," Shang Muchen said generously.

"Forget about today, I want to go back to the dorm to shower, it stinks!" Liu Qingyang pouted.

"Yeah, we should go back and brag to 'Aipapi' about today's achievements," Xu Lele said, tapping on her tablet. "That was so exciting!"

Shang Muchen nodded with a hint of regret, but still with immense gratitude.

The three walked towards the exit of the auditorium. When they reached the door, Shang Muchen suddenly noticed a white paper strip with strange black symbols drawn on it pasted on the double doors of the auditorium.

Liu Qingyang reached out to tear the note, but Shang Muchen stopped her.

Shang Muchen took a picture with his phone and asked, "Look at this note, doesn't it look like a Taoist talisman?"

"Aren't talismans all written in red ink on yellow paper? Only the Japanese used white paper with black ink for their talismans, it's so unlucky, haha."

Xu Lele smiled and waved her hand, then pushed up her glasses and leaned closer to take a look.

The moment her breath touched the white paper, the note vanished into thin air.

"Oh dear! It's weathered!"

"Luckily, I took a picture." Shang Muchen opened his phone and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't understand the scribbles on it.

"Send me a copy, we'll go back and study it too," Liu Qingyang said.

Pushing open the auditorium door, I found myself back in the same maze-like stairwell I had just been in.

"I suspect that scribbled mark is a labyrinth seal, hiding this auditorium," Shang Muchen said, resting his chin on his hand. "There's a conspiracy involved."

"This is indeed worth studying," Liu Qingyang said. "If a few words written on a piece of paper can cause four-dimensional spacetime distortion, it's truly a new topic."

"It's not that strange," Xu Lele said. "The information encoding that leads to 'reality fluidization' doesn't require a huge amount of energy; what it does require is a specific location in space and the information corresponding to that location."

As she spoke, she turned her head, raised her index finger, and said seriously, "What I'm talking about is actually 'feng shui'."

"Feng shui?" Shang Muchen asked in surprise.

"Yes, feng shui." Xu Lele nodded and said, "Feng shui is completely in line with modern science, and is even more concise and straightforward than many scientific descriptions."

What is the essence of general relativity?

In fact, the essence of general relativity is the geometrization of the effect of gravity on a spatial frame of reference.

One-dimensional time and three-dimensional space form a four-dimensional flatness where gravity does not exist.

Gravity causes spacetime to curve, thus spacetime is a four-dimensional curved non-Euclidean space, where information is not uniformly distributed, leading to the fluidization of reality.

The curvature of spacetime depends on the distribution of matter energy density and momentum density in spacetime, and the curvature of spacetime, in turn, determines the trajectory of an object.

Think carefully about the meaning of this sentence.

What is Feng Shui?

In essence, it is the distribution of matter and energy in geometric space. The distribution pattern affects the curvature of time and space, thereby guiding the flow of information.

Conversely, if the direction of information flow can be "forcibly" changed, the temporal and spatial structure can be distorted, thereby creating observable effects at the macro level.

Therefore, the reason why that scribbled symbol on white paper could trap us in a maze is because it used a very precise and ingenious method, like a fishhook hooking onto the mouth of a big fish.

"By forcibly altering the distribution of information within the area, we are trapped in a time-space loop, thus concealing the entrance to this grand hall."

Xu Lele talked on and on, covering her chubby, round cheeks with her hands, and said happily and contentedly, "Ah! I actually know so much! I'm so smart! Haha!"

Liu Qingyang nodded and said, "Indeed, it seems that someone is deliberately trying to hide the location of this auditorium."

I think there's something fishy going on here, and it's not a small thing.

Mu Chen, how much do you know about this place?

Shang Muchen shook his head and said, "I don't know much about it."

The landlord of this place, Fatty Wang, asked me to come and help look after it, so I came.

I'll ask him about it when I get back.

After dropping Liu Qingyang and Xu Lele off at their parking spot, it was already noon. The two of them refused to eat and insisted on going back to shower and change. Shang Muchen had no choice but to buy them some steamed buns to eat on the way and watch them drive away.

After getting home, taking a shower and changing clothes, Shang Muchen's mind was filled with thoughts of the black rat and the black characters on the white paper.

He wrote a long message and sent two photos to his fourth uncle.

Not long after, Fourth Uncle replied:

In the world of martial arts, once something is done, it's done; don't bother asking why.

Being employed by others means being loyal to them, being obedient and capable, keeping your mouth shut and eyes closed – these are the ways to survive.

Xiao Chen, remember the lessons your fourth uncle has learned from a lifetime of experience:

Those who can swim will drown, and those who argue will be beaten to death.

Never easily get involved in the karma of others; otherwise, you will be entangled in their karmic threads and dragged down into an abyss of no return.
