Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Wind-Chasing Kirin

Before, Su Yang hadn’t connected Fang Jingshan’s grave on Qingyun Mountain to the Fang Family. Now that it was mentioned, everything immediately clicked into place.

”Patriarch Fang, there’s no need to get agitated!” Su Yang helped Fang Wenzhong to his feet, ”I’ve said that I would repay Miss Fang’s favor, and I will certainly help to the end. This matter, to me, is but a trifle.”

”Thank you, Master Su!” Fang Wenzhong was extremely grateful, and couldn’t help but glance at Fang Ziyu more than once. If it weren’t for Fang Ziyu making the right choice, they would have certainly been doomed this time.

The group headed straight for Qingyun Mountain and found Fang Jingshan’s grave.

The condition of the grave was about the same as when Su Yang had seen it previously. Fang Wenzhong and the others circled the grave in astonishment for a while, then exclaimed, ”Master Su, forgive our poor eyesight, but the grave seems unchanged. We have checked it several times and no one has tampered with it!”

Su Yang turned to Fang Ziyu, ”Miss Fang, may I borrow a strand of hair?”

Fang Ziyu was puzzled but still plucked a strand of her hair and handed it to Su Yang.

With the strand in hand, Su Yang walked around the grave and eventually stopped at a particular spot. He released the strand, letting it drop.

The hair fluttered down and landed two feet to the east of Su Yang.

”Do you see?” asked Su Yang.

”Ah?” Everyone was startled, what were they supposed to see?

Su Yang spoke softly, ”The direction of the wind!”

Fang Wenzhong took a deep breath and exclaimed, ”That’s right, the wind direction is incorrect. The wind is blowing westward, so how could the hair land on the east?”

Only then did everyone realize and they were all amazed.

Someone walked up beside Su Yang, felt the wind for a while, and said, ”The wind here is blowing westward, how could this be?”

In fact, the wind on the mountain was quite strong, causing everyone’s clothing to flutter slightly. Yet, the direction of the wind was in complete contrast to where the strand of hair had fallen.

”Is there anyone here who’s not a Fang?” Su Yang asked, ”I need to borrow another strand of hair.”

”Nannan isn’t a Fang,” Fang Wenzhong immediately responded.

Nannan’s injuries had healed by seventy percent by now, and she could already come along with everyone. She quickly plucked a strand of her hair and passed it over.

Su Yang took the hair and, at the same position, released Nannan’s strand of hair.

Strangely enough, after Nannan’s hair fell, it was blown directly westward by the wind.

”This... What’s going on here?” everyone was dumbfounded.

”This is your family’s Feng Shui!” Su Yang said, ”Your ancestor is buried here, so the Feng Shui can affect you, but it doesn’t affect other people. The Feng Shui of this grave has been reversed by someone, so it no longer flows with the wind, but against it.”

”As the saying goes, rowing against the current, if you don’t advance, you’ll fall back. With your family’s Feng Shui always moving in the reverse direction, how can your descendants live peacefully?”

Everyone was shocked, and some, skeptical, went to try for themselves and pulled out their hair to test it out.

The results were exactly as Su Yang had described. Those who were Fangs had their hair fall to the east, while those who were not, were unaffected.

Fang Wenzhong was utterly shaken and with a trembling voice said, ”Master Su is truly a divine figure, Master Su, then... is there still hope to rectify this?”

”This is a minor matter; there’s nothing that can’t be resolved.” Su Yang glanced around and said, ”At the northwest and southwest corners of the tomb, seven feet and three inches away, dig down two feet and six inches.”

Without asking why, the Fang Family immediately took action.

Soon, someone exclaimed in astonishment, ”My God, what is this?”

Fang Wenzhong immediately ran over and saw that in the two pits that had been dug, there was a black statue in each. These statues looked very peculiar, resembling horses, but with horns on their heads and scales on their bodies, their limbs robust and fiercely imposing.

”What are these things?” Fang Wenzhong asked in surprise.

”Wind-Chasing Kirins.” Su Yang explained, ”A method used to reverse wind and water direction, changing the subsurface flow of feng shui, thereby affecting future generations.”

”Are these two things the cause of such a disaster befalling our Fang Family!?” Fang Wenzhong couldn’t help but exclaim.

”Then hurry up and smash these things!”

”Destroy them, destroy them, they’re too detestable!”

The Fang Family members were in an uproar, each one extremely agitated. The Fang Family had suffered tremendous losses during this period, and all of it was caused by these two objects?

”You mustn’t destroy these two things,” Su Yang shook his head and said, ”You should rebury these two Wind-Chasing Kirins, but switch their positions.”

”Ah?” Fang Wenzhong was stunned, ”Master Su, we... we’re burying them again?”

”Once their positions are switched, the feng shui will not only continue to operate normally, but the wind and water that these two Wind-Chasing Kirins once repelled will be returned twofold,” explained Su Yang. ”Bury these kirins, and within a year, the Fang Family will be blessed with great fortune. Of course, you can choose not to bury them, but then you’ll miss out on this year’s good fortune!”

”Bury them! They must be buried!” Without another word, Fang Wenzhong personally switched the positions of the two kirins and buried them again.

The members of the Fang Family were overjoyed, having lived through too many depressing days recently.

After resolving the Fang Family’s issue, Su Yang and Fang Wenzhong rode together towards the city center.

On the way, Su Yang casually mentioned, ”Patriarch Fang, tampering with feng shui like this isn’t something an average person would do. Could it be that your Fang Family has offended a Feng Shui Master, bringing about this great calamity?”

”That’s not the case,” Fang Wenzhong shook his head, ”Not to mention the tomb of my great-uncle, not many people know about it. Also, the Fang Family has always advocated being kind to others and never initiates enmity with anyone. Thinking it over, we really don’t have any enemies.”

”Then that’s strange,” Su Yang said. ”Without any deep hatred, most people wouldn’t do something like that. Tampering with feng shui can backfire, and most people who understand feng shui aren’t willing to take the risk.”

”This...” Fang Wenzhong scratched his head, thought for a long while, and suddenly said, ”Oh, I remember now. A year and a half ago, we did have a falling out with someone. Could it be because of that?”

Su Yang nodded but did not speak. He had merely asked casually, and the specifics were none of his concern.

However, Fang Wenzhong hesitated for a moment and then suddenly said, ”Master Su, thank you for your assistance with this matter!”

”I have said before, this was me repaying Miss Fang’s kindness!” Su Yang replied.

”Your help in saving my Fang Family is repayment enough for that kindness. But with the matter of our ancestral tomb, we owe you a debt of gratitude!” said Fang Wenzhong, ”The Fang Family has nothing to repay you with, so here’s what we’ll do: The Fang Family has an ancestral relic that I plan to give to you, Master Su, as a token of our gratitude.”

”That’s not necessary,” Su Yang shook his head and said, ”I helped you purely on account of Fang Ziyu and didn’t expect anything in return!”

”I know you, Master Su, are not interested in such material things, but this is still a token of our gratitude.” Fang Wenzhong paused, then added, ”Moreover, for our Fang Family, this object might be more of a curse than a blessing!”
