Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 263: Square Cun Room

Chu Xiaomu couldn't help it any longer and said, "General, please find a way to save him!"

Before the word "he" was uttered, there was a loud "bang" and a huge black crack suddenly exploded in the sky.

The darkness in the crack was like a pool of black ink, pouring down all over the place. It fell on the river, on the ten high platforms, on Bi Ye and Chu Xiaomu... Everything around them was shrouded in darkness. The lightning ball that originally emitted a dazzling light was also extinguished by the darkness...

Chu Xiaomu was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, and his heart almost jumped out from the gap between his ribs... General Bi Ye beside him was also breathing heavily.

Unexpectedly, in an instant, day turned into night...

A faint indigo light began to appear in front of him, and he saw a dark blue figure slowly walking out of the darkness. It was Huang Tianxiang. The top of the platform was only about 13 or 14 feet square, and he didn't know where he came from.

Huang Tianxiang walked up to the two of them, and Chu Xiaomu realized that he was just a phantom. He was about fifty years old, with a thin and elegant face, two shallow wrinkles on his forehead, a slight mustache on his lips, slanted eyes, and gray-blue eyeballs. He was wearing a green robe and a purple belt, and he had a faint ancient aura.

Chu Xiaomu thought that Huang Tianxiang didn’t look like a bad person. He wondered if the platform opposite had collapsed. Even if it had, he hoped that he was just a shadow on it.

Huang Tianxiang bowed to the two men and said with a smile, "It is a great honor to have you three here. I am waiting for you in the small room below. Please move aside."

Bi Ye also bowed to him and said, "You are welcome, Tian Xiang. Please wait a moment. We will be there soon."

Chu Xiaomu also bowed to him but was too shy to speak. He thought that the one on the stage was his shadow, and the one in the "square inch room" below should be his real body.

He patted Qisheng's head and followed Bi Ye down the stairs.

After leaving the lightning platform and coming to the bluestone open space below, Bi Ye led Chu Xiaomu to a lonely wooden house in the house. The other houses above were built with cut stone slabs, but this house was made of wood, and it was not adjacent to other houses, but stood out in a corner of the open space.

This wooden house is not big, only about 13 or 14 feet long and wide, and it is square. The roof is also a square cone. Naturally, it is the square inch room that Huang Jieshi mentioned.

Bi Ye walked to the wooden house and gently pushed the door open. It was a grayish white inside, as if it was buried in a thick fog.

Chu Xiaomu led Qisheng in, and the wooden door behind them closed automatically with a creaking sound. All these mysterious things made Chu Xiaomu feel a little uneasy.

After standing in the house for a while, the misty white fog dissipated, revealing the situation inside the house.

I saw a hunchbacked old man standing behind a long desk in the room, with almost completely white hair draped over his shoulders, and his forehead and face were full of wrinkles, like a pool of water with a few big stones thrown on it, with wavy and uneven lines crisscrossing horizontally and vertically; he was also wearing a green robe with a purple belt, exactly the same as the shadow on the top of the stage.

Chu Xiaomu was full of doubts: "Could this man be Huang Tianxiang? Why is he so old?" Fortunately, General Bi Ye was by his side. If he was alone, he might have been scared and ran away.

Huang Tianxiang bowed to Bi Ye and said politely: "The general is here, and I am sorry that I was unable to come to greet you from afar."

Bi Ye said, "Master, there is no need to be polite. I haven't seen you for a few months and you have made great progress in your geomancy. It is really a cause for celebration."

When Chu Xiaomu heard Bi Ye say "A great scholar does not need to be polite", he realized that this Huang Tianxiang was the great scholar Huang that he often heard people mention.

I have heard Yingdan and others say that Huang Jieshi is one of the three great strange men in Cangmu Country, calling himself Wangmo. It is said that he knows the laws governing the changes of the sun, moon and stars, as well as the movement of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. His celestial geomancy is unique in the world and is truly magical.

According to Uncle Huai's Huai Fucao, those who have mastered the art of Tianxiang Fengshui can calculate the gathering and dispersion of spiritual energy; those who have mastered it can calculate the fortune, misfortune, rise and fall in the world; those who have mastered it can know the past and the future... And when I heard the general say that he had almost mastered the art of Tianxiang Fengshui, doesn't it mean that he can really calculate the past and the future? This... How can this be possible with human power?

Chu Xiaomu quietly looked around the wooden house called Fangcunshi. It was about 13 or 14 feet square. In the middle was a rectangular wooden table. Except for the side with doors and windows, the other three sides were filled with tall cabinets filled with thick and thin books.

Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that with so many books, even if he could read from birth, he would never be able to finish reading them until he died.

Huang Jieshi followed up Bi Ye's words and replied: "General, you are too kind. The perfection of Tianxiang Fengshui still varies in size. Wang Mo has only just begun to understand the small perfection, and is still a long way from the great perfection. Alas, I am just an ordinary mortal after all..." His words were quite helpless.

Bi Ye: "You are too modest. People call you a genius, but it's not just a random name."

Huang Jieshi said: "People in the world don't understand Huang Jieshi, so does the general not understand him either? The Tianxiang Fengshui technique sounds powerful and magical, but it's actually just some empty tricks. It can neither strengthen the body nor fight against the enemy. It's not as useful as opening up the Force and cultivating spiritual power." The two looked at each other and smiled.

Huang Jieshi added, "This humble room is messy and there are no extra stools or chairs. I have no choice but to ask General and Brother Chu to stand and talk with me for a while."

Bi Ye smiled and said, "What does it matter? I am honored to be invited to Shi San Tai by you again." Then he said, "Your square is small outside and big inside, it seems like a dream but it is real. I still can't figure out how you did it."

Huang Jieshi also laughed and said, "These little tricks are nothing in front of the general."

His eyes fell on Chu Xiaomu, and he looked him up and down carefully, and said, "This must be Brother Chu Xiaomu, right? You came to our Bicheng from Baihua Island thousands of miles away. It is a great honor for Wangmo people to see you."

Hearing him speak so politely, Chu Xiaomu hurriedly bowed to him and said, "I am Chu Xiaomu from Baihua Island, nice to meet Huang...Huang Tianxiang." He had only heard of Huang Jieshi's name before, and knew that he was a well-known extraordinary person in Bicheng and even in Cangmu, Canglan, Chi and Bai. Therefore, he respectfully performed the etiquette of bowing when meeting an elder for the first time.

I didn’t know what to call him, so I just called him Huang Tianxiang like everyone else.
