Chapter 109.5 – The ancient principles of the flow of cosmic qi
An excerpt from the journal of Shuye Skullcrusher, Guardian of the Ancient Hill Forest:
I have a healthy respect for geomancy. A lot of the principles they follow make good sense. For example, my house is oriented on a north-south axis, with a hill to the north and flowing water to the south, exactly as prescribed by the ancient principles of the flow of cosmic qi currents.
But I was tempted to tear up the report I received from Lady Meihui of the Fox Clan. I understand that she’s from a famous family of diviners and geomancy experts, but “Ancient Profound Five Elements Soaring Divine Formation”? “Empyrean Dragon Gate Secret Primordial Decree Pattern”? “Evil Repelling Mystical Essence Convergence Resonance Matrix”? “Sacred Infinite Spiritual Gathering Array”? “Nine Palaces Millennium Convergence Cipher”?
I could hardly make sense of the thirty pages of gobbledygook. Thank goodness Lady Meihui at least wrote a summary of her findings at the end of the report.
Apparently, the lines and proportions of Baroness Violet’s house are in perfect harmony, echoing some esoteric heavenly mystery, and there are myriad hidden dragon patterns all over its walls which serve to gather qi.
Could Baroness Violet be the descendant of one of the Azure Dragon’s royal families?
