The low-key prince summons trainees from the Imperial Household Department at the start of the game.

The twenty-fifth year of Yonghe, the White Dew season.

The Imperial Palace!

Zhou Xing sat by the window of the side hall, with a summary of the handling of the Yin Qi leakage incidents from various places spread out in front of him.

Lu Zhi suppressed the evil spirits beneath the ancestral hall in Ganquan Town in Yangzhou.

Xu Jie sealed up the broken stele from the end of the Daqian era in Jiangxi.

Kong Yan and Pei Du dispatched retired officials from the capital to various prefectures to oversee operations, while Cao Gonggong's Hidden Dragon Guard secretly assisted them.

For the past two months, all parties have been busy suppressing the series of bizarre incidents, but everyone knows that this is only a temporary solution.

The real root of the problem lies in the dragon veins, and the seal on the dragon veins continues to loosen.

The summoning icon for the large supergroup has been lit up on the system panel for some time now.

He kept pressing the button without moving, not because he forgot, but because he was waiting.

From the Beginning of Summer to the White Dew, the loosening of the cosmic energy caused by the overflow of Yin energy gradually spread from a few isolated cases to various prefectures.

Although they were all suppressed in time, the frequency and intensity are increasing.

The people he could rely on—Lu Zhi, Xu Jie, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui—were all busy working in their respective positions.

What he lacks is not someone who can fight, but a professional who can fundamentally determine the earth's veins, adjust the feng shui, and resolve the yin energy at its source.

The system always seemed to provide the most suitable answer when he needed it most. He sat cross-legged on the bed and silently uttered a summons in his mind.

A golden light curtain unfolded before my eyes like ripples on water.

This time, the light was different from the sharp or gentle light of the past; it was a deep and mysterious dark gold.

It resembles the mottled rust on ancient bronze artifacts buried deep underground, or the indescribable halo deep within the Milky Way when observing celestial phenomena at night.

The words that slowly appeared on the light screen carried an ancient and mysterious aura.

"A five-star large-scale astronomical team, team name: Imperial Observatory Office."

Members: Guo Pu, Li Chunfeng, Lai Buyi.

Zhou Xing raised an eyebrow slightly.

Five stars, the same rating as the Four Sages of Medicine.

The fact that three feng shui masters are on par with four renowned medical experts speaks volumes about the prestige of this position.

He continued looking at the member information.

Guo Pu, 46 years old, was a wandering geomancer and a seventh-rank scholar.

In his previous life, he was a scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who annotated the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and wrote the "Book of Burial," and is considered the founder of Chinese Feng Shui.

What is geomancy?

Kan represents the way of Heaven, and Yu represents the way of Earth. Together they mean observing the heavens and surveying the earth.

In ancient China, this was a discipline that specifically studied the relationship between the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth and the geographical features of mountains and rivers.

This figure, revered as the patriarch by later generations of Feng Shui masters, was at this time a wandering sorcerer with no fixed abode.

He travels among famous mountains and rivers year-round, looking at graves and houses for people. He lives wherever he goes, and is penniless, but he has a pair of eyes that can see through the earth's veins.

Li Chunfeng, 43 years old, a seventh-rank civil official.

In his previous life, he was the Grand Astrologer of the Tang Dynasty, author of "Yi Si Zhan" and "Lin De Calendar". He co-authored "Tui Bei Tu" with Yuan Tiangang and is one of the most famous astronomers and diviners in Chinese history.

Astronomers observe the movement of the sun, moon, and stars; diviners use the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements to predict the future.

This person once served as the instructor of Yin-Yang studies in Qingzhou. Yin-Yang officials were appointed by the Great Zhou Dynasty in local prefectures. Their rank was not high, and they were in charge of astronomy, divination, and fortune-telling.

Because of his honesty, he offended his superior and was dismissed from his post on some pretext. Now he lives a life of hardship, barely making a living by telling fortunes and divination.

Lai Buyi, 52 years old, a sixth-rank civil official.

His previous life was a Feng Shui master in the Song Dynasty. He left behind countless legends among the people and was the master of the "Form School" of Feng Shui. His land surveying skills were superb. He authored "Qingwu Preface".

At this moment, he is the manager of "Lai's Geography Hall," an inconspicuous feng shui shop in Qingzhou City.

Geography is the texture and network of the earth, not the geography of today, but the study of the relationship between the topography of mountains and rivers and the selection of sites for dwellings and houses.

His shop wasn't large, but his reputation was excellent. People in Qingzhou would consult him to choose auspicious dates and locations for weddings, funerals, groundbreaking ceremonies, and house construction.

Three people, three schools of thought, three perspectives, which together form a complete system of the three elements of heaven, earth, and humanity.

Guo Pu was a wandering practitioner who spent many years traveling among mountains and rivers and had a thorough understanding of the terrain.

His strength lies in on-site investigation, where he can determine the most likely location for the accumulation of yin energy by observing the undulations of mountains, the direction of water flow, and the color of the soil.

Li Chunfeng was a practitioner of divination and calculation, and was proficient in astronomy, calendrical calculations, and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory. He was able to deduce the patterns and timing of Yin energy outbreaks from a macroscopic perspective.

If Guo Pu's eyes were a microscope...

Li Chunfeng's brain was like a weather forecast.

Guo Pu could see which vein of the earth was currently causing problems, and Li Chunfeng could predict which area would experience problems in the future.

Lai Buyi is a folk practitioner who has been rooted in the lives of ordinary people for decades and has dealt with countless strange and unusual feng shui problems in people's homes.

It combines theoretical depth with practical experience, making it the best bridge.

It can transform Guo Pu's survey results and Li Chunfeng's predictions into specific and actionable solutions.

More importantly, the three of them had cultivation levels that perfectly matched their specialties.

Guo Pu and Li Chunfeng were both seventh-rank cultivators, placing them in the middle to upper ranks of the literary cultivation system. Their righteous energy was enough to suppress most of the Yin Sha that had not yet fully formed.

Lai Buyi was a sixth-rank official, slightly lower than the other two, but his experience in handling matters in folk feng shui practice was irreplaceable by the other two.

The text on the light screen continued to flash, revealing details of the implanted identity one by one.

What the three had in common was that they were all in a state of wandering or marginalization. Guo Pu had no fixed abode, Li Chunfeng was dismissed from his post and wandered around, and Lai Buyi lived in a corner of Qingzhou.

They did not attach themselves to any established family.

They were not involved in any factional struggles and were inconspicuous in government records, but they all had real skills and had cultivated a strong sense of righteousness for decades.

Because they never took sides or attached themselves to anything, they were marginalized in officialdom.

But precisely because they never took sides, their appointment by the imperial court did not arouse the vigilance of any faction.

Everyone would assume that this is yet another batch of "loyal ministers" personally promoted by His Majesty.

He read the information on the screen three times, then picked up a pen and wrote the names of the three people in the "Special Expertise" column of his self-made relationship diagram.

A circle was drawn next to "Imperial Observatory Office," and a single character was written inside the circle.

land!

His previous strategy combined the influence of the imperial court, local governments, the martial arts world, the business community, and the military, all of which operated at the level of "people."

However, the very nature of the universe is now becoming an indispensable variable in the game.

Yin energy seeped out from the ground, and the seal on the dragon vein continued to loosen. No one could predict how far these strange events would develop.

He needs someone to oversee this game for him from a "heaven and earth" perspective.

Guo Pu observed the earth's veins, Li Chunfeng calculated the timing of the heavens, and Lai Buyi governed people's hearts. The three of them together formed the first line of defense he laid out in the face of the strange changes in the world.

He spread out three blank sheets of paper and wrote a short letter to each of the three men.

The letter to Guo Pu contained only a few words.

"The dragon vein is loosening and the earth's energy is overflowing. You have traveled through mountains and rivers for decades, so you must have noticed something. If you have any insights, you can inform the liaison offices in various prefectures and cities."

The letter to Li Chunfeng was equally brief.

"The celestial phenomena are unusual, and evil spirits are rising everywhere. Sir, you are proficient in divination and should be able to trace the source of this. If you have any predictions, you may send a secret letter to the nearest prefecture or county."

The letter to Lai Buyi contained an extra layer of care.

"The people of Qingzhou rely on Mr. Lai's house selection for their livelihood. This is the foundation of their lives, and it must not be interrupted."

"However, if you encounter any unusual phenomena beyond the scope of ordinary feng shui and beyond human intervention, please record them and be extra careful not to put yourself in danger."

He sealed the letters separately, put them into three copper tubes, and tied them to the legs of three gray sparrows.

Pushing open the window, three gray sparrows took flight and disappeared into the night sky in three different directions.

After finishing these tasks, he leaned back in his chair, gazing at the autumn moon outside the window, which was not yet fully round. His fingers tapped lightly on the windowsill, the rhythm neither too fast nor too slow.

He was transported to this strange world when he was six years old, and now he is almost twelve.

He is not only a fourth-rank martial artist, but he has also cultivated a strong sense of righteousness for six years. He is no longer the timid and inconspicuous person he once was.

But now he's not playing this game alone anymore.

Heaven and earth are in motion, fortune is changing, and things that have been suppressed for three hundred years are surging up from the ground.

He needs more capable individuals like Guo Pu, Li Chunfeng, and Lai Buyi to establish more defenses.

He picked up a pen and added a line of smaller characters next to "Imperial Observatory Office".

"Wait for the right opportunity and observe the changes."
