第 1 季:星座运势出现第一节 夜雨下的老房子江南的雨总是悄无声息地来着,细细的雨滴就像一张无形的网,笼罩着这片古镇.夜色深沉,青石路被光线打湿.偶尔,几盏昏暗的路灯摇曳,映照着远处一座孤零零的房子——谢家的老房子.谢云川站在屋前,手里拿着一把黑色的伞,伞边滴落的水滴,在地面上溅起小小的涟漪.他的目光透过雨幕,落在房门上斑驳的牌匾上,牌匾上隐约能认出"谢的"字样.他深吸一口气,鼻子里夹杂着潮湿泥土的气味和淡淡的檀香气味."三十年过去了,这个地方还是一样."谢云川低声自言自语,他的声音被雨声掩盖了.他今年才28岁,却语气里充满了超越年龄的沧桑.他抬手轻轻敲了敲门,木门发出沉闷的回声.片刻之后,门缓缓打开,一个驼背的老者探出头来.老者身穿灰色长袍,脸上布满皱纹,仿佛是刀子雕刻的,但他的眼睛却明亮而锐利,仿佛能看穿人的灵魂."是云川少爷吗?"老者的声音嘶哑,有点试探."是我,傅叔."谢云川微微一笑,收起伞,甩掉身上的雨水."这些年你没变."傅叔眯起眼睛,看了他一眼,然后退到一边让路:"进来吧,老夫已经等你很久了.谢云川跨过门槛,双脚一踏上青砖地板,一股莫名的寒意从脚底冲上来.他皱着眉头,瞥了一眼院子里.房子虽然旧,但干净整洁.院子里有一棵老槐树,枝叶茂盛.树下有一张石桌.桌子上还有一盏油灯.光线在雨中摇曳,仿佛在讲述什么."傅叔,是这房子的风水吗...有点不对劲?谢云川停下脚步,低声问道.傅叔回头看他,嘴角微微上扬,露出意味深长的笑容:"少爷确实继承了老爷子的功夫.这所房子已经不是以前的样子了.跟我来,遇见老夫后自然会明白的.谢云川没有再多问什么,跟着傅叔叔穿过走廊,来到了正殿.大厅里有几盏燃烧已久的灯,墙上挂着一幅巨大的山水画.画中,有云雾,隐约能看到一座孤峰.大厅中央有一把主人的椅子,椅子上坐着一位白发苍苍的老者.老者闭上眼睛,手里拿着一串乌木念珠,喃喃自语着什么."爷爷."谢云川走上前,恭敬地鞠躬行礼.老者缓缓睁开眼睛,眼眸如闪电,直接落在了谢云川身上.他沉默了一会儿,才开口道:"云川,你终于回来了.你知道谢家的风水秘密已经到了必须传下去的地步吗?谢云川一愣,然后点点头:"我明白了.只是...这些年我只学到了一些肤浅的知识,恐怕担不起这个重任.老人摆了摆手,声音低沉而有力:"血肉和毛皮?一眼就能看出,这宫的风水已经变了,证明你的天赋还在.今晚,你留下来,我有东西要送给你."什么事?"谢云川忍不住问道.老者从怀里掏出一个旧玉盘,上面刻着复杂的花纹,隐隐透露出一种奇异的光泽.他将玉盘递给谢云川,缓缓道:"这是谢云川的星座,也是解开风水秘术的钥匙.从现在开始,你将成为这个血统的继承人.谢云川接过玉盘,当指尖触碰到玉面时,他的心顿时一震,仿佛有一股无形的力量进入了他的体内.他抬头看向老者,却在老者的眼中看到了一丝复杂的情绪."记住,云川,这运势不仅能帮你了解风水,还能带来无尽的烦恼.你准备好了吗?雨声渐渐增大,窗外的槐树在风中摇曳,发出沙沙的声音.谢云川紧握着手中的玉盘,心中升起一股预感——从这一刻起,他的人生将彻底改变.第 1 季 星座运势出现第 2 集 槐树下的秘密雨渐渐平息,但大厅里那盏燃烧已久的灯却变得暗淡起来.灯芯摇曳的火焰倒映在谢云川的脸上,勾勒出他的眉头.他低头看了看手中的星座运势.玉面上的纹路在光线下仿佛活了过来,缓缓流淌,犹如一张看不见的地图."Grandpa, what is the origin of this horoscope?" Xie Yunchuan raised his head and his eyes fell on Xie Tianxing. "You said it would cause trouble, but I haven't even figured out how to use it."Xie Tianxing did not answer immediately. He stood up, walked slowly to the window, and pushed open a wooden window. The damp and cold night wind blew in with raindrops, and the branches and leaves of the locust tree swayed in the wind, making a low rustling sound. He stared at it for a while, then turned around and said in a heavy tone: "This horoscope is not an ordinary Feng Shui artifact. It was brought out from an ancient tomb by the ancestors of the Xie family. It is said to be a relic left by the ancient Feng Shui master Ge Hong.""Ge Hong?" Xie Yunchuan was startled. He was not unfamiliar with this name. Ge Hong was a Taoist master in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was not only proficient in alchemy, but also wrote "Baopuzi". He was regarded as a god by later generations. "But Ge Hong is not an alchemist? What does Feng Shui have to do with him?"Xie Tianxing smiled, with a bit of bitterness in his smile: "People only know that Ge Hong made elixirs, but they don't know that when he lived in seclusion in his later years, he studied the power of heaven and earth and tried to reverse the destiny with the power of Feng Shui. This horoscope is the 'key' he left behind. As for what key it is... I don't know it completely."Xie Yunchuan frowned, stroking the edge of the horoscope with his fingers, feeling uneasy. He was about to ask something else, but Xie Tianxing suddenly raised his hand to signal him to be silent, and then pointed out the window: "Listen."Xie Yunchuan listened carefully, and there was indeed a low sound besides the sound of rain, as if something was crawling under the ground. He walked to the window and his eyes fell on the old locust tree in the yard. The tree had dense branches and leaves, but the trunk seemed unusually thick. The blue bricks around the roots were slightly raised, as if they were supported by some force."This is..." Xie Yunchuan narrowed his eyes and vaguely sensed something wrong."Go down and take a look." Xie Tianxing patted his shoulder, with a hint of temptation in his tone, "If you are really the heir of the Xie family, you should see the clues under this locust tree."Xie Yunchuan nodded, picked up the oil lamp beside him, pushed the door and walked into the rain. Uncle Fu followed him silently, holding a shovel in his hand, and was obviously used to such scenes.Arriving under the locust tree, Xie Yunchuan squatted down and observed carefully with the help of the light. From the cracks of the green bricks near the tree roots, a wisp of black air seeped out, as thin as a gossamer, but emitting a pungent stench. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the brick surface. His fingertips felt a cold touch, as if he had touched some living thing."Uncle Fu, dig it up and see." Xie Yunchuan stood up with a firm tone.Uncle Fu didn't ask any more questions. He waved the shovel and pried open a few green bricks in a few strokes. The soil under the bricks was soft and had a damp and cold smell of decay. As the shovel went deeper, a dark red stone slab was exposed. There were several vague runes engraved on the stone slab, and there was a shallow groove in the center, the shape of which was almost exactly the same as the size of the horoscope."Is it the mark of the horoscope?" Xie Yunchuan was shocked and took out the jade plate in his arms. After comparison, it really matched. He tried to put the horoscope into the groove, and the stone slab immediately made a slight sound, then slowly sank, revealing a narrow secret passage.The entrance to the secret passage is only wide enough for one person to pass through. A low sound of wind came from the deep darkness, as if something was breathing. Xie Yunchuan looked back at Uncle Fu, but saw that Uncle Fu's face had turned extremely pale, and he murmured: "This place... the old man never let me go down.""Grandpa knows this place?" Xie Yunchuan frowned and turned to look in the direction of the main hall. Xie Tianxing's figure was still standing in front of the window, with his back to them, like a silent statue."Go down, young master?" Uncle Fu's voice was a little trembling.Xie Yunchuan was silent for a moment, holding the life plate tightly, and nodded: "Go down. I want to see what secrets this house hides."He lit the oil lamp and took the lead in entering the secret passage. The steps were slippery, and the air was filled with an old musty smell. After walking about a dozen steps, the light illuminated a stone wall, on which was engraved a line of ancient seal characters: "The life plate opens, the world is the chess, and life and death are determined by heaven."Xie Yunchuan stopped and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. He vaguely felt that all this was just the beginning, and that the fate would lead him into a game from which there was no turning back.Season 1: The first appearance of the fate plateChapter 3: The shadow of the dark passageXie Yunchuan carried the oil lamp and walked down the dark passage. The steps were narrow and steep, and he took every step carefully. The echo from his feet spread in the darkness, as if someone was whispering in the distance. Uncle Fu followed behind, holding the shovel tightly in his hand, breathing a little hurriedly, obviously fearing this unknown place.The dark passage was not long. After walking about twenty steps, the ground became flat. The light of the oil lamp illuminated a small stone room. The walls were mottled and engraved with dense runes. Some of them looked like the Taoist Bagua formation, while some were completely unfamiliar and exuded a strange atmosphere. There was a stone table in the center of the stone room, and on the table was a bronze box. The box was rusty, but the edges were faintly glowing."What is this place?" Uncle Fu asked in a low voice, and his voice echoed in the stone room, seeming even more empty.Xie Yunchuan did not answer, his eyes were attracted by the bronze box. He walked forward, squatted down and took a closer look, and found a line of small characters engraved on the lid of the box, with an ancient font that looked like Han Dynasty seal script: "The horoscope is back in place, and the seal is released.""Seal?" Xie Yunchuan murmured to himself, and Xie Tianxing's words emerged in his mind-the horoscope is the "key" left by Ge Hong. He took out the jade plate in his arms, and by comparison, there was indeed a circular groove in the center of the lid of the box, which was exactly the same size and shape as the horoscope."Master, this thing... do you want to open it?" Uncle Fu stood behind him, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone, "The old man never mentioned that there was a dark room under here, let alone this box."Xie Yunchuan was silent for a moment, and his eyes swept across the runes on the stone wall. Although those patterns were complex, they vaguely revealed a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them in a dream. He took a deep breath and put the horoscope into the groove. With a slight "click", the box slowly opened, and a cold wind rushed out from inside, blowing the flame of the oil lamp violently.Inside the box lay a yellowed silk book, and next to it was a black jade pendant, on which was carved a flying crane with its wings spread, which looked lifelike. Xie Yunchuan picked up the silk book and unfolded it carefully. It was filled with densely written words. The first sentence of the opening made his pupils shrink: "Descendants of the Xie family should use this disk to suppress the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces. Those who disrupt the secrets of heaven will be punished by heaven.""The dragon veins of the Nine Provinces?" Xie Yunchuan frowned. He was not unfamiliar with this term. In Feng Shui, the dragon vein is the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges, which is related to the rise and fall of a place or even a country. "What is the relationship between the horoscope and the dragon vein?"He was about to continue reading, when a low vibration suddenly came from the stone chamber, as if something deep underground was awakened. Uncle Fu exclaimed and pointed at the stone wall: "Master, look!"Xie Yunchuan looked up and saw that the runes on the wall began to glow. The red light flowed like blood, gathering into thin lines along the marks, and finally formed a huge Bagua pattern on the top of the stone chamber. The pattern rotated for a moment, and then suddenly cracked in the center. A black shadow rushed out of it and rushed towards Xie Yunchuan."Be careful!" Uncle Fu waved his shovel to block in front of him, but was hit by the black shadow and fell to the ground. Xie Yunchuan reacted very quickly and grabbed the life plate to block his chest. The black shadow hit the jade plate, making a piercing scream, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated."What the hell is this?" Xie Yunchuan helped Uncle Fu up and looked at the stone wall with lingering fear. The Bagua pattern had dimmed, but a low laugh was faintly heard from the crack at the top, as if someone was secretly spying."Master, this place is not clean, let's go!" Uncle Fu struggled to get up, his face full of horror.Xie Yunchuan did not move. He looked down at the life plate in his hand. The lines on the jade surface were clearer than before, and even a hint of red light was faintly revealed. He suddenly realized that this dark room, this box, and even the black shadow were all inextricably linked to the horoscope."Uncle Fu, you go up first." Xie Yunchuan put the silk book and jade pendant in his arms, and said firmly, "I want to find out what is going on."Uncle Fu wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Xie Yunchuan's gaze. He sighed, leaned on the shovel, and limped back to the steps. Xie Yunchuan turned around, faced the crack on the stone wall, held the horoscope tightly, and whispered: "Since it is the inheritance of the Xie family, let me take over this chess game."In the darkness, the laughter sounded again, with a hint of teasing, as if responding to his challenge.Season 1: The first appearance of the horoscopeChapter 4: Grandfather's secretWhen Xie Yunchuan walked out of the secret passage, the sky had already turned pale, the rain had stopped, and the damp and cold air was mixed with the faint fragrance of the locust tree. He held the horoscope tightly in his hand, with the silk book and jade pendant in his arms, and his steps were slightly heavy. Uncle Fu stood in the yard, his face still pale. When he saw him coming up, he hurried forward: "Master, are you okay? What is there... down there?""It's okay for now." Xie Yunchuan waved his hand, but his eyes passed Uncle Fu and fell in the direction of the main hall. Xie Tianxing's figure was still standing in front of the window, with his back to the yard, like a silent statue, "Uncle Fu, go and rest first, I have something to ask Grandpa."Uncle Fu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and turned to walk into the side room. Xie Yunchuan took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the main hall and walked in.The long-burning lamp in the hall had been half extinguished, and a faint sandalwood scent filled the air. Xie Tianxing turned around and looked at Xie Yunchuan, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He slowly said: "It seems that you have found something."Xie Yunchuan didn't waste words, and directly took out the silk book and jade pendant from his arms, put them on the stone table, and then tapped the horoscope lightly, with a questioning tone: "Grandpa, what's the matter with this dark room? The silk book said that the horoscope should suppress the dragon veins of Jiuzhou, and also mentioned something called "disruptors of the heaven's secrets". Did you know this a long time ago?"Xie Tianxing looked down at the objects on the table, was silent for a while, and then slowly sat down. His fingers gently stroked the flying crane pattern on the jade pendant, and his voice was low and distant: "This jade pendant was left by your great grandfather. The silk book... I only know that it is in the dark room, but it has never been opened. As for the origin of the horoscope, what I told you is just the tip of the iceberg.""The tip of the iceberg?" Xie Yunchuan frowned, and his tone became heavier. "Grandpa, you asked me to inherit the Xie family's inheritance, but you didn't even tell me the whole truth. What's the matter with the black shadow in the dark room? And the Bagua formation on the stone wall and the phrase 'Heaven and Earth are chess', what are you hiding?"Xie Tianxing raised his head and looked directly into Xie Yunchuan's eyes, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes: "Yunchuan, do you think I don't want to tell you? Some things are not unsaid, but cannot be said. The power of the horoscope is far beyond your imagination. It can not only see through Feng Shui, but also touch Tian Ji. What you see now is just its most superficial side. ""Then at least tell me what that black shadow is!" Xie Yunchuan stepped forward, his voice full of reluctance, "It almost killed Uncle Fu. If I hadn't blocked it with the life plate, what would have happened?"Xie Tianxing was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "That's the 'earthbound spirit', a kind of resentment sealed by the Feng Shui formation. The dark room was originally the place where Xie's ancestors used to suppress it, but you opened the bronze box, and the seal naturally loosened a little. ""Earthbound spirit?" Xie Yunchuan was stunned. Although he had learned some Feng Shui techniques, he had never come into contact with such a weird thing. "Why would there be such a thing in the old house? Isn't the Xie family a Feng Shui family? How can it be related to resentment?"Xie Tianxing smiled bitterly, stood up, and walked to the landscape painting on the wall. He stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, and the picture frame popped open with a "click", revealing a hidden compartment behind it. There was a worn thread-bound book in the secret compartment. He took it out and handed it to Xie Yunchuan: "This is Xie's family heirloom, which records part of the origin of the horoscope. If you want to know the truth, go and read it yourself. But I remind you that for some secrets, the more you know, the more you will bear."Xie Yunchuan took the book and opened the first page. There was a line of words written in cinnabar on it: "When the horoscope is born, the dragon veins will be in chaos. Descendants of the Xie family, be careful."He looked up at Xie Tianxing, but saw that the old man had turned around and waved his hand with his back to him: "You have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow I will teach you how to use the horoscope to calm the earthbound spirit. As for the rest... I will tell you when you are ready."Xie Yunchuan wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Xie Tianxing's unquestionable tone: "Go out, I'm tired."The door of the hall slowly closed. Xie Yunchuan stood in the yard, holding the book and horoscope in his hands, and Xie Tianxing's words echoed in his ears. The blue bricks under the locust tree were still damp, and the entrance to the secret passage had been covered again, but he knew that the secrets underneath were far from over.As the sky gradually brightened, a crow flew up from the locust tree, making a shrill cry. Xie Yunchuan looked up, and a premonition rose in his heart - the inheritance of the Xie family would be a road full of thorns.Season 1: The first appearance of the horoscopeChapter 5: The first exploration of the notebookMorning light shines into Xie Yunchuan's room through the window lattice, and the weak light falls on the stone table, illuminating the family notebook that is spread out. He has not slept all night, his eyes are bloodshot, but his fingers are still turning the pages, trying to find the answer from these yellowed papers. The horoscope lies quietly beside him, and the lines on the jade surface appear deeper in the morning light, as if silently telling something.The content of the notebook is not much, most of it is written in ancient Chinese, interspersed with some Feng Shui terms and vague records. Xie Yunchuan turned to the middle page, and his eyes stopped on a line of words marked with cinnabar: "The horoscope is the pivot of heaven and earth, and controls the spirit of the dragon vein. When it moves, the Feng Shui moves, and when it is still, everything is at peace. However, its power is too strong, and it cannot be controlled by ordinary people. It needs to be guided by heart and blood before it can be started.""Guide by heart and blood?" Xie Yunchuan frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. Although he had learned some basic Feng Shui, he had never heard of such a strange statement. Feng Shui emphasizes harmony between heaven, earth and people, and is laid out with the help of tools such as compasses and spells, but this horoscope seems to be completely different. It actually requires a blood sacrifice to activate it?He picked up the horoscope and looked at it carefully. The surface of the jade plate was as smooth as a mirror. Apart from the flowing lines, there were no obvious mechanisms or runes. He hesitated for a moment, picked up a knife from the table, gently cut his fingertips, and a drop of bright red blood fell in the center of the horoscope.The blood bead touched the jade surface and was instantly sucked in. The lines suddenly lit up with a golden light, as if awakened, and the entire horoscope trembled slightly. Xie Yunchuan only felt a warm current flowing from his fingertips into his body, and a vague picture emerged in his mind: a winding mountain range, surrounded by clouds and mist, and a golden dragon-shaped airflow could be vaguely seen swimming."Is this... a dragon vein?" Xie Yunchuan was shocked, and the "Kyushu Dragon Vein" mentioned in the handbook seemed to no longer be empty talk. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the image quickly dissipated, and the light of the horoscope dimmed, leaving only a faint warmth flowing through his fingertips."It seems that this thing really has some tricks." Xie Yunchuan muttered to himself, and his eyes turned to the next page of the notebook. It recorded a story about the ancestors of the Xie family: "The ancestor Xie Xuanqing accidentally found a horoscope in the Qinling ancient tomb, and wanted to use it to quell the chaos in the nine states. Later, because of the heavenly secret, he was punished by heaven, and the horoscope was sealed under the house, guarded for generations, and not to be opened lightly.""Qinling ancient tomb?" Xie Yunchuan wrote down this clue, but he was a little more confused. Xie Tianxing mentioned last night that the horoscope came from Ge Hong, but the notebook said that Xie Xuanqing got it from the ancient tomb. What is the relationship between the two?While he was thinking, the door was knocked gently, and Uncle Fu's voice came from outside the door: "Young master, the old man asked you to go to the main hall, saying that he has something to teach you."Xie Yunchuan put away the notebook and the horoscope, got up and pushed the door open. The locust tree in the courtyard swayed slightly in the morning breeze. The blue bricks under the tree had been cleaned up, and the entrance to the secret passage was completely covered, as if everything last night was just a dream. He walked into the main hall and saw Xie Tianxing sitting on the armchair, with a piece of yellow paper and a plate of cinnabar at his side."Sit down." Xie Tianxing pointed to the chair opposite him, and said calmly, "You should have some clues about what happened last night, right?"Xie Yunchuan nodded and put the notebook on the table: "I read the notebook, and the horoscope needs blood and effort to start. I tried it and did see the shadow of the dragon vein. But I don't understand why the Xie family wants to guard such a dangerous thing?"Xie Tianxing picked up the yellow paper, dipped it in cinnabar and drew a spell, and said without raising his head: "Danger? The horoscope is both an opportunity and a disaster. The Xie family guarded it for thousands of years, not to covet its power, but to prevent it from falling into the hands of others. The earthbound spirit you released last night is a lesson.""What are you going to teach me today?" Xie Yunchuan asked.Xie Tianxing handed him the talisman he had drawn: "This is a soul-soothing talisman that can suppress the resentment of the earthbound spirits. You use the horoscope to draw it out, and I will seal it. But remember, this is just the beginning. Once the power of the horoscope awakens, it will bring more troubles - not just spirits, but also people.""People?" Xie Yunchuan was stunned.Xie Tianxing raised his head, his eyes deep: "Many people in the Feng Shui world are eyeing the inheritance of the Xie family. Do you think the black shadow last night was just an accident? Someone is secretly testing, and the horoscope is their target."Xie Yunchuan clenched his fists, and an inexplicable pressure rose in his heart. He took the talisman and whispered, "I understand. When do we start?""Tonight." Xie Tianxing stood up and walked to the window. "The earthbound spirit is most active at night. Let's get rid of it before it fully recovers."The locust tree outside the window cast a mottled shadow. Xie Yunchuan looked at the tree, and a sentence in the notebook emerged in his mind: "When it moves, the feng shui changes, and when it is still, everything is at peace."He vaguely felt that this seal was just the beginning, and the real secret of the horoscope was still waiting for him to uncover.Season 1: The first appearance of the horoscopeChapter 6: Sealing the ghost at nightNight fell again, and the Xie family's old house was shrouded in silence. The moonlight shone through the clouds, and the locust tree cast a twisted shadow, like some kind of ominous omen. Xie Yunchuan stood in the yard, holding the horoscope and the soul-calming talisman in his hands, staring at the blue bricks under the tree. Xie Tianxing stood beside him, holding a peach wood stick with the Bagua pattern engraved on the top of the stick, faintly revealing a murderous aura."Are you ready?" Xie Tianxing asked in a low voice, his tone calm but with a hint of majesty.Xie Yunchuan nodded, and his fingertips cut again, and a drop of blood fell on the horoscope. The jade plate flashed, and the pattern spread like water waves. He closed his eyes, and the scene in the dark passage last night emerged in his mind - the screaming of the black shadow and the Bagua formation on the stone wall. He whispered, "Life plate, open."As he spoke, the life plate made a slight sound, and a golden light shot out from the jade surface, rushing straight to the ground under the locust tree. The blue bricks cracked, and the entrance to the secret passage reappeared. A strong black gas gushed out from the ground, accompanied by a piercing roar. The earthbound spirit appeared again, more solid than last night, and a pair of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen in the vague human outline."Be careful, it's much stronger than last night." Xie Tianxing frowned, and the peach wood stick tapped the ground. A circle of faint halo spread out, blocking the black gas at the periphery.Xie Yunchuan took a deep breath, tightly grasped the soul-soothing talisman, and according to Xie Tianxing's teachings during the day, he raised the life plate to his chest and whispered, "The sky and the earth are in place, the universe is in order, the soul is back in place, and the resentment is gone!" Before he finished speaking, he attached the talisman to the life plate, and the golden light and the cinnabar red light intertwined, turning into a beam of light, directly hitting the earthbound spirit.The earthbound spirit screamed and tried to pounce on Xie Yunchuan, but was suppressed by the light column. It struggled in the light, its body gradually twisted, and its scarlet eyes stared at Xie Yunchuan, as if silently cursing. Xie Yunchuan's forehead was sweating coldly. He felt the blood in his body surging as he used the life plate for the first time, as if an invisible force was draining his energy."Hold on!" Xie Tianxing stepped forward, swung the peach wood stick, and a shadow of the Eight Diagrams appeared in the air, merging with the light column of the life plate. The struggle of the earthbound spirit became more and more intense, but the black air began to dissipate, and finally turned into wisps of smoke and was sucked into the life plate."It's done." Xie Tianxing took back the peach wood stick and let out a long breath, "This vengeful spirit was temporarily suppressed by the life plate, but its roots are still in the dark room, and it will have to be thoroughly cleaned up in the future."Xie Yunchuan put down the life plate, his face pale, and his chest heaving slightly. He looked down at the jade plate and found a thin black line in the pattern, like a crack, or like a trace left by a ground-bound spirit. "Grandpa, can this thing... really be used casually? I feel like it's sucking my strength."Xie Tianxing glanced at him and said lightly: "I said that the life plate is not an ordinary thing. It can help you, but it can also harm you. You just used the most basic "Spirit Induction Technique", which is already pretty good. But if you want to really control it, you have to learn to control your own efforts, otherwise it will backfire sooner or later.""Backfire?" Xie Yunchuan was stunned, thinking of the warning in the note that "not ordinary people can control it", and his heart tightened.Xie Tianxing didn't explain much, turned around and walked towards the main hall, saying as he walked: "You have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow I will teach you the "Spirit Calming Technique" to stabilize the power of the life plate. As for the dark room, don't go down for the time being, the things inside are not yet ready for you to touch."Xie Yunchuan stood there, watching Xie Tianxing's back disappear behind the hall door. He looked down at the horoscope in his hand. The thin black line was faintly visible in the moonlight, as if mocking his ignorance. He clenched his fists and thought to himself, "Since I have accepted this inheritance, there is no way back."Just then, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, as if someone was wandering by the wall. Xie Yunchuan turned around and shouted, "Who's there?"The footsteps stopped suddenly, and then a crow cried in the distance. In the empty night, only the locust tree rustled. Xie Yunchuan squinted his eyes, vaguely feeling that there was a gaze peeping in the dark, but there was no trace.He turned and walked back to the room, put the horoscope on the table, and Xie Tianxing's words echoed in his mind-"Someone is testing." The undercurrent in the Feng Shui world seemed to have begun to surge.Outside the window, the moonlight was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and a new rain was coming again.Season 1: The first appearance of the horoscopeChapter 7: The beginning of the formation of the spiritIn the early morning, the Xie family's old house was shrouded in a layer of mist, the yard was filled with moisture, and the branches and leaves of the locust tree were hung with last night's raindrops, crystal clear. Xie Yunchuan got up early and stood in the yard, holding the horoscope in his hand, thinking back to the scene when he sealed the earthbound spirit last night. The fatigue that was withdrawn from his body was still clear, making him feel a little tired of the continuous secrets, but he couldn't stop.The door of the main hall creaked open, and Xie Tian walked out with a scroll of bamboo slips and a small bottle of cinnabar in his hand. He glanced at Xie Yunchuan and said lightly: "Didn't sleep well last night?""I couldn't sleep." Xie Yunchuan smiled bitterly and pointed outside the courtyard. "After sealing the earthbound spirit last night, I heard footsteps outside the wall. Grandpa, has the 'someone's testing' you mentioned already started?"Xie Tianxing narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of the courtyard wall. After a moment of silence, he said: "The Feng Shui world is never peaceful. The news of the appearance of the horoscope cannot be concealed. There are many people eyeing the Xie family. Don't worry about these things for now. Concentrate on learning the 'Qi Ding Shu' today and stabilize the horoscope first."He handed the bamboo slip to Xie Yunchuan, on which were engraved several lines of ancient Chinese characters with vigorous and powerful handwriting: "Qi is the root of all things. If you stabilize your qi, your heart will be stable, and the power of the horoscope can be controlled by yourself."Xie Yunchuan took the bamboo slip and read it carefully. He found that there was also a set of simple breathing methods and gestures attached to the back. He wondered, "Is this Qi-fixing technique similar to the Taoist breathing technique?""Almost the same, but more suitable for the horoscope." Xie Tianxing drew a Bagua formation on the ground and placed a bluestone in the center. "The power of the horoscope needs your Qi and blood to drive it, but if the Qi and blood are out of control, it will backfire. The Qi-fixing technique can help you harmonize the yin and yang in your body, so that you won't hurt yourself when you control it. Try it."Xie Yunchuan nodded, sat cross-legged on the bluestone, and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing according to the method on the bamboo slips. He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and formed a "Xun" hand seal with both hands, trying to sense the airflow in his body. At first, he only felt that his breathing was a little jerky, but as the rhythm gradually stabilized, a warmth rose from his Dantian and traveled through his body along the meridians."Handicap, rise." Xie Tianxing suddenly shouted and threw the horoscope to him.Xie Yunchuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the moment he caught the horoscope, the golden light shone again. He circulated his breath according to the method of Qi-fixing technique, and he really felt that the power that was draining his energy was suppressed a lot. The lines on the horoscope flowed more smoothly, and even a vague pattern emerged - a winding river with houses scattered along the river."Is this the terrain near the old house?" Xie Yunchuan was stunned and blurted out.Xie Tianxing's eyes flashed with praise: "Not bad. The horoscope can sense the Feng Shui pattern around it. You can stabilize it with the Qi-fixing technique, and you can initially see the 'Qi pulse'. This is just the first step. In the future, you can also use it to find dragon points and even change the world.""Change the world?" Xie Yunchuan held the horoscope, and his heart was shocked. He vaguely understood that the power of the horoscope was far more than just sealing the resentful spirits.Xie Tianxing put away the bamboo slips, but his tone became serious: "But remember, the greater the power of the horoscope, the more covetous it will attract. The footsteps last night were not accidental. Someone has been eyeing you."Xie Yunchuan frowned, recalling the strange feeling of being watched last night: "Grandpa, do you know who it is?""It's hard to say." Xie Tianxing shook his head, "The Feng Shui world is full of mixed people, there are aristocratic families, there are casual practitioners, and there are also evil ways that are not visible to the public. The Xie family has been guarding the horoscope for thousands of years, and there are many enemies. You should be careful these days and don't leave the old house."Xie Yunchuan nodded, and was about to ask again, when Uncle Fu hurriedly ran from the side room, holding a rag in his hand, with a panic on his face: "Grandpa, young master, it's bad! This was found outside the courtyard wall!"Xie Yunchuan took the rag and looked at it. It was stained with mud and blood, and a trace of a rune could be vaguely recognized - like the fragments of some forbidden spell. He looked at Xie Tianxing, who had a gloomy face: "This is the 'Spiritual Talisman', which can detect the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the house. It seems that someone really came last night.""What do they want to do?" Xie Yunchuan held the life plate tightly, feeling uneasy.Xie Tianxing snorted coldly: "What else can they do? Life plate. They dare not force it, just testing it first. But the method of this spell looks familiar... Never mind, you practice the Qi-fixing technique first, and I'll take care of the rest."The mist gradually dissipated, and the sun filled the yard. Xie Yunchuan looked at the life plate and the rag in his hand, and the footsteps of last night appeared in his mind. He knew that the tranquility of the old house had been broken.Season 1: The Destiny Chart AppearsChapter 8: UndercurrentsThe sun shines through the mist and falls on the blue bricks of the Xie family's old house, but the yard is filled with an invisible sense of oppression. Xie Yunchuan stands under the locust tree, holding the blood-stained rag in his hand, frowning. Xie Tianxing takes the rag and carefully examines the rune fragments on it, his face becoming more gloomy."This technique..." Xie Tianxing murmured in a low voice, his fingers gently stroking the edge of the talisman, "It seems to be the way of the Zhou family. But they disappeared a long time ago, how could they suddenly appear?""Zhou family?" Xie Yunchuan looked up and asked, "Grandpa, are you talking about the Zhou family in the Feng Shui world?"Xie Tianxing nodded, his eyes deep: "The Zhou family is a Feng Shui family from a hundred years ago. They are good at spying on spiritual energy and prohibition techniques, and have some old grudges with the Xie family. Later, their family fell into decline, and I heard that the inheritance was cut off. I didn't expect that someone was still alive-and was eyeing the horoscope."Xie Yunchuan frowned, vaguely feeling that things were not that simple. He looked at the horoscope and whispered: "Grandpa, can I try the horoscope to see if the owner of this talisman left any traces?"Xie Tianxing was stunned, then nodded: "Okay. You just learned the art of calming the qi, so it's a good time to try the sensing ability of the horoscope. But be careful, don't use too much force."Xie Yunchuan took a deep breath, sat cross-legged at the stone table, and placed the rag on the horoscope. He used the Qi-fixing technique, and the breath flowed steadily throughout his body. His fingertips were cut again, and a drop of blood fell on the jade plate. The golden light shone, and the lines on the life plate rippled like water waves. The blood on the rag seemed to be activated and slowly seeped into the jade surface.Closing his eyes, Xie Yunchuan's consciousness sank into chaos. After a moment, a vague picture emerged: outside the wall of the old house under the night sky, a man in a black robe stood in the shadows, holding a talisman and whispering a spell. The talisman ignited a ball of dim light and floated into the house. Then the picture changed, and the man in the black robe turned and left, and his back disappeared into a bamboo forest."Bamboo forest..." Xie Yunchuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xie Tianxing with a gasp, "I saw a man in a black robe. He used this spell outside the yard and then went to the bamboo forest in the east.""East?" Xie Tianxing narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "That's the direction of the back mountain of the old house. It has been deserted for many years and no one lives there. I'll go and take a look. You stay here and don't run around.""Grandpa, I'll go with you." Xie Yunchuan stood up and said firmly, "If they are really Zhou's people, they are coming for the horoscope, and I can't hide."Xie Tianxing glanced at him, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head: "You just used the life disk, your blood and qi are not stable yet, and going will only hinder you. Stay and practice the Qi-stabilizing technique more. I'll be back soon."Xie Yunchuan wanted to argue, but Uncle Fu ran in from the side room with a letter in his hand: "Old man, I found this at the door, just stuffed in!"Xie Tianxing took the letter, tore it open, and saw that there was only a piece of white paper with four words written on it: "The life disk belongs to me."The handwriting was sloppy and the ink was not dry, obviously it was written not long ago. Xie Tianxing sneered and crumpled the letter into a ball: "What a big tone. It seems that they are not just testing, they can't hold back anymore.""Grandpa, this letter..." Xie Yunchuan frowned, "How dare they be so blatant?""Blatant?" Xie Tianxing snorted, "This is a show of force, trying to force us to show our true colors. I want to see who is so fearless."He turned around and picked up the peach wood stick, and said to Uncle Fu: "Watch the house and don't let anyone in." Then he glanced at Xie Yunchuan: "You stay here and practice your Qi-fixing technique. If I don't come back before dark, you take the horoscope and go to Suzhou to find the Lin family. They owe Xie a favor.""Lin family?" Xie Yunchuan was stunned. Before he could ask in detail, Xie Tianxing had already strode out of the courtyard gate, and his back disappeared in the mist.Xie Yunchuan stood there, holding the horoscope in his hand, feeling uneasy. He looked down at the jade plate, and the thin black line was still there, as if silently reminding him of something. He took a deep breath, sat down again, and began to practice the Qi-calming technique, trying to calm his inner restlessness.However, just as he closed his eyes, a low laugh suddenly came to his ears, as if it came from underground, and as if it overflowed from the horoscope. He suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no one around, only the locust tree swaying in the wind, and its shadow drew a strange shape on the ground."Who?" Xie Yunchuan shouted in a low voice, holding the horoscope tightly, but did not respond. The laughter dissipated like the wind, as if it had never existed.The fog was getting thicker, and the calmness of the old house seemed to be just an illusion before the storm.Season 1: The first appearance of the horoscopeChapter 9: Hidden traces in the bamboo forestAfter Xie Tianxing left the old house, he walked along the mountain road in the east to the bamboo forest in the back mountain. The fog filled the mountains, and the sunlight was blocked by layers of bamboo leaves, leaving only a few faint rays of light on the ground. He held a peach wood stick, his steps were steady, but there was a trace of vigilance in his eyes. Although the letter "The horoscope belongs to me" was crushed by him, his heart had already stirred up waves - if Zhou really came back, Xie's troubles would just begin.The deep bamboo forest was strangely quiet, even the birds could not be heard, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves. Xie Tianxing stopped and looked around, and finally landed on a thick old bamboo. There was an obvious crack on the bamboo body, as if it was cut by a sharp weapon, and a little dark red trace was faintly revealed in the crack."Blood?" Xie Tianxing frowned and squatted down to take a closer look. He gently pushed away the soil beside the bamboo with a peach wood stick, revealing a buried stone piece. There was a rune engraved on the stone, which was exactly the same as the fragment of the "Spirit Peeping Talisman" found outside the courtyard wall, but it was more complete, and the edge was still a little charred, as if it had been burned by fire."It is indeed Zhou's handwriting." Xie Tianxing snorted coldly and put the stone into his arms. He stood up, closed his eyes and concentrated, and drew a small Bagua formation on the ground with the peach wood stick in his hand, and whispered: "Heaven and earth are positioned, and spiritual energy is revealed."The Bagua formation lit up faintly, and the surrounding air trembled slightly. Strands of imperceptible black air floated from the depths of the bamboo forest and gathered in the formation, vaguely forming a vague human outline. Xie Tianxing opened his eyes and his eyes were stern: "Remnant soul? You are hiding deep."The human-shaped black air did not respond, but just floated quietly, as if it had been sealed for many years and had no intelligence. Xie Tianxing waved the peach wood stick, and the black air dissipated instantly, turning into a ball of ash and falling to the ground. He looked down and saw that there was a copper coin mixed in the ashes, with the word "Zhou" engraved on the coin."Zhou's soul-attracting coin..." Xie Tianxing's face darkened, and his doubts became heavier. Zhou's family was good at using the art of prohibition, and this soul-attracting coin was their unique method, which could attach the residual soul to a specific location to secretly spy on or manipulate Feng Shui. But why did this copper coin appear in the bamboo forest? Was it left there on purpose, or was there another hidden story?Just as he was about to explore again, a low sound suddenly came from the depths of the bamboo forest, as if something was crawling under the ground. Xie Tianxing turned around abruptly, holding the peach wood stick horizontally in front of him, and shouted in a low voice: "Who?"In the mist, a black-robed figure slowly emerged, his face hidden under the hood, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. The man's voice was hoarse and a bit teasing: "Old Xie, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so sharp. Unfortunately, the Feng Shui of this bamboo forest is no longer under your control."Xie Tianxing narrowed his eyes and shook his peach wood staff slightly: "Zhou's remnants? It seems that my guess is right. Do you want the horoscope?"The black-robed man laughed softly and threw a talisman in his hand. The talisman paper ignited a dark green flame in the air and turned into a light net to cover Xie Tianxing: "The horoscope is the fate of the Xie family and our opportunity. Old Xie, you can't keep it."Xie Tianxing snorted coldly, swung the peach wood staff, and the eight trigrams reappeared, blocking the light net at the periphery. The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, but the black-robed man suddenly withdrew his hand, turned around and disappeared in the fog, leaving only a sentence floating in the bamboo forest: "Xie Yunchuan will deliver the horoscope to us, you wait and see."Xie Tianxing frowned, his eyes fell on the soul-guiding money, and he felt uneasy. He knew that the black-robed man was not bluffing. The power of the life disk was awakening, and Xie Yunchuan was far from ready to face these undercurrents.Meanwhile, in the old house.Xie Yunchuan sat in the room, holding the life disk in his hand, still practicing the art of calming the breath. Although the strange laughter had dissipated, it left a shadow in his heart. He circulated his breath and tried to sense the feng shui around him again, but unexpectedly found that the black thin line on the life disk seemed to have become longer, like a vine spreading on the jade face."What's going on?" Xie Yunchuan was startled, stopped the art of calming the breath, and looked down. At this moment, the life disk suddenly trembled, and a faint black gas overflowed from it, condensing into a pair of scarlet eyes in the air, staring straight at him."Earthbound spirit?" Xie Yunchuan stood up suddenly and held the life disk tightly, but the eyes did not attack, but just floated quietly, and then turned into a vague voice into his ears: "Life disk... return to its position..."The voice dissipated, and the room returned to silence. Xie Yunchuan's face turned pale, and a chill surged in his heart. He vaguely felt that this earthbound spirit was not completely sealed, but had some kind of connection with the fate plate.Outside the window, the fog was getting thicker and the sky was getting darker. Xie Tianxing had not returned yet, and the secret of the old house seemed to be approaching step by step.Season 1: The first appearance of the fate plateChapter 10: The beginning of the chess gameThe night was deep, and several oil lamps were lit in the courtyard of the Xie family's old house, and the dim light swayed in the mist. Xie Yunchuan stood under the locust tree, holding the fate plate in his hand, staring at the black thin line spreading on the jade surface. The voice of the earthbound spirit was still echoing in his ears - "The fate plate is back" - making him feel uneasy. He vaguely felt that all this was far beyond his control.Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Xie Tianxing strode in, with a little dirt on the peach wood stick in his hand, and his face was terribly gloomy. Uncle Fu came forward and whispered, "Grandpa, you are finally back! The young master has been waiting for you."Xie Tianxing waved his hand and his eyes fell on Xie Yunchuan: "What's wrong with the horoscope? I see that you look strange."Xie Yunchuan took a deep breath and handed over the horoscope: "Grandpa, the earthbound spirit is not completely sealed. It appeared again just now and said 'the horoscope is back'. This black line... seems to be getting longer."Xie Tianxing took the horoscope, looked down, and frowned. He stroked his jade face with his fingers and murmured in a low voice: "Sure enough, the resentment seeped in. The power of this horoscope is getting out of control.""Out of control?" Xie Yunchuan was shocked, "What should we do? Didn't you say it was suppressed?"Xie Tianxing was silent for a moment, and briefly told the bamboo forest about his discovery - Zhou's soul-attracting money, the provocation of the black-robed man, and the sentence "Xie Yunchuan will deliver the horoscope to us." He said coldly: "The earthbound spirit is just a trigger. Someone deliberately led it out to disrupt the balance of the life disk. They want to force you to fail, and then take it away in the chaos."Xie Yunchuan clenched his fists, anger surging in his heart: "Zhou...what do they want?""The power of the life disk." Xie Tianxing put the life disk back in his hand, his tone heavy, "It can suppress the dragon veins and also disrupt the heaven's secrets. The Xie family has guarded it for thousands of years because they are afraid that it will fall into the hands of evil people. But now, you and I are involved, and we can't retreat even if we want to.""Then I What should we do? "Xie Yunchuan asked, "What should we do with this black line? Can the horoscope still be used?"Xie Tianxing took out a copper bell from his arms, which was engraved with runes, and handed it to Xie Yunchuan: "This is a soul-suppressing bell, which can temporarily suppress the resentment in the horoscope. But to completely solve it, we have to find the source of the earthbound spirits - the things under the dark room. I wanted to wait until you are stronger before going down, but now it seems that I can't delay it. ""Go down?" Xie Yunchuan was stunned, thinking of the Bagua formation on the stone wall of the dark room and the phrase "Heaven and earth are chess", and a chill came to his heart.Xie Tianxing nodded: "Let's go tonight. I will break the formation, and you use the horoscope to lead out the source, and we will solve it once and for all. But remember, no matter what you see, don't move the horoscope easily, it is unstable now. "Xie Yunchuan nodded and followed Xie Tianxing to the locust tree. Xie Tianxing waved the peach wood stick, and the blue bricks cracked again, revealing the entrance to the secret passage. The two walked down the steps one after the other. The light of the oil lamp illuminated the stone room, and the runes on the wall were still glowing.Xie Tianxing stood in front of the stone wall, chanting in a low voice, and drew a complex Bagua formation on the ground with a peach wood stick. He looked at Xie Yunchuan: "Use the life plate to draw it out."Xie Yunchuan took a deep breath, operated the Qi-fixing technique, and dropped a drop of blood on the life plate. The golden light lit up, the black line spread rapidly, and the whole jade plate trembled continuously. A strong black gas surged out from the cracks in the stone wall and condensed into a vague human figure, which was more solid than the previous earthbound spirit. The face was vaguely visible-it was actually a woman with disheveled hair and full of resentment in her eyes."Xie... give me back my life..." The woman's voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the stone room.Xie Tianxing's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "It's her! Xie's traitor a hundred years ago, Zhou's pawn!" He waved the peach wood stick, and the Bagua formation glowed brightly, trapping the woman in it.Xie Yunchuan held the life disk tightly and was about to cooperate, but he saw the black line on the jade disk suddenly exploded, and a red light rushed out and shot directly at the woman. The woman screamed and her body quickly dissipated, but the red light did not stop, but drilled into the depths of the stone wall, and the stone chamber shook violently."Not good!" Xie Tianxing grabbed Xie Yunchuan, "The life disk is out of control, go!"The two rushed out of the secret passage, and just as they reached the ground, the blue bricks under the locust tree exploded, and a huge crack spread. Red light flickered in the crack, and a larger Bagua formation could be vaguely seen emerging underground, as if sealing something.Xie Tianxing's face was pale, and he whispered: "That is the real seal of the life disk... It was accidentally touched by you."Xie Yunchuan was stunned, the light of the life disk in his hand gradually weakened, but the black line had already covered the jade face. He looked at Xie Tianxing, but saw a trace of fatigue in the old man's eyes: "Yunchuan, I'm old, this chess game, I will eventually hand it over to you."Before he finished speaking, Xie Tianxing suddenly coughed up blood, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground. Xie Yunchuan was shocked and rushed forward to support him: "Grandpa!"Xie Tianxing grabbed his hand and said weakly: "Go to Suzhou... find the Lin family... be careful of the master of the fate..." After saying that, he tilted his head and died."Grandpa!" Xie Yunchuan hugged Xie Tianxing's body, tears blurring his vision. The locust tree swayed in the wind, the red light in the cracks gradually dimmed, and the old house fell into silence.In the distance, a pair of cold eyes peeked in the fog, and a low laugh came with the wind: "Xie family, it's over."End of the tenth chapter End of the first season
