Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant-Chapter 333
Geomancy Master (1)
Ye Mu worried while looking at the map. That City Boundary Map looked just like a simple landscape painting. In the current time, where there’s no satellite scanning, it’s very difficult if you want to find a place in the countless desolate mountains and rivers.
But as she looked at the path of the mountain lines, she suddenly recalled the excuse that Zhao Mingyu found in order to look at the City Boundary Map.
“Perhaps, you shouldn’t only be finding geologists, but also two geomancy masters!”
Ye Mu thought like this and unconsciously spoke out. As a result, everyone stared at the beam of the room. Ye Mu reacted with hindsight. Oh no, I’m caught!
Mo Linyuan’s complexion changed when he heard the voice.
He hurriedly put away the City Boundary Map, and then said to everyone, “All of you retreat.”
“Yes.” Those people know that only Miss Ye could hide on the beam, and they soon left one after another.
“Yes.” Those people know that the only one who could hide on the beam was Miss Ye, and they soon left one after another.
They did not go home, but rather stayed in the imperial palace.
The matter of the City Boundary Map was no trivial matter. Before the treasure is found, none of them can go home, nor can they see their family members and outsiders.
After they left, Ye Mu stuck out her tongue and jumped off from the beam.
“Why are you here?” Mo Linyuan was a little unhappy. “Didn’t I say that you’re not allowed to be near the City Boundary Map?”
He always felt that the map seemed to be able to eat people, and if Ye Mu approached it, she would be eaten!
Ye Mu didn’t touch his bottom line, and said with a smile.
“Didn’t I find the problem? So I rushed to tell you,” She mischievously laughed. “When I was watching from the beam of the house just now, I found that there are two clearly connected mountain ranges by looking straight down on the City Boundary Map. So I guessed that the excuse that Zhao Mingyu used at the beginning was indeed correct. This treasure is hidden in a geomantic, treasured place*, so if you find a few geomancy masters to take a look, perhaps you’ll have a clue.”
* Treasured place rich with feng shui
But Mo Linyuan felt this was unsuitable.
“The City Boundary Map cannot be leaked. There are many people outside who understand geomancy, yet few really have the ability. I’m worried that when the time comes, people will be mixed up and someone will take advantage of it.”
His worries are also reasonable. After all, the thing had been found with much effort. If others secretly copied it and found the City Boundary Map first, it would be giving away a bride and losing an army on top of it*.
* Suffering a double loss after trying to trick the enemy
Ye Mu said, “How about this? The next imperial proclamation will announce to the world a recruitment to repair the emperor’s mausoleum, and there’ll definitely be more than one person who will reveal the imperial proclamation. At that time, let them assess each other. In the end, with who’s superior and who’s inferior, you can always see some results.”
After Mo Linyuan heard this, he thought this method was not bad and thus had someone draft the imperial proclamation.
This imperial proclamation didn’t say half a word about the City Boundary Map, it only said that after a hundred years, the emperor wanted to find a geomantic, treasured place to build a mausoleum for himself. It also said that the one who has true abilities can stay in the post of the Imperial Palace Grand Master.
So there were many people who revealed the proclamation. In just three days, a dozen people who believed their abilities were not bad were found and gathered inside the palace.
In fact, there were some who understood geomancy in the palace. After all, there are specialized astronomical government officials for the daily calculations for omen and luck and nightly observations of the celestial bodies. But when it comes to proficiency, they absolutely cannot be regarded to that point. However, they can still help Mo Linyuan examine these people who revealed the proclamation, to see if they really have the true ability and understanding of the material.
Everyone was gathered on an open military ground. Mo Liyuan sat on the platform, letting the astronomical government officials examine first, then have them step forward one by one and explain the field they’re an expert in.
After all, geomancy is a category of much knowledge, and one’s energy is limited, making it impossible to understand everything. But what they’re wanting to find is roughly just a person who is adept at searching for dragon pressure points*. That person would preferably be an experienced person.
* Dragon pressure points in chinese is 龙点穴, which originated from a saying that it takes three years to searching for dragons and ten years learning acupuncture points. The dragon they’re talking about is terrain that looks like a dragon, meaning searching for the terrain is difficult, but finding the pressure point, or the geomancy point is even harder.
