"The human body is inherited from parents, and their remains are the foundation of descendants. If this foundation is filled with vitality, the entire family will receive blessings and prosperity.

Choosing a burial site depends on the quality of the land. If the land is good, the spirits of ancestors will rest peacefully, and descendants will thrive, much like providing fertile soil for the roots of a big tree, making its branches flourish. Conversely, if the land is unfavorable, misfortunes may befall the family, leading to broken households.

Though life and death are distinct, they interact through emotions and energy. Seeking the remains of loved ones and letting living blood drop onto the bones can distinguish between true and false kinship.

Therefore, the remains of ancestors can bring blessings to the living.

Just as with Yang residences, Yin residences also require attention to Feng Shui.

Ancient people believed that burying ancestors in an excellent Feng Shui location would bring good fortune to future generations. Conversely, poor Feng Shui could lead to various troubles, from minor difficulties to continuous misfortune, even family dissolution.

Chen Yuanshan spoke solemnly, explaining these principles to the three of us.

"Master Chen, I know nothing about Feng Shui. What should I do now?" Gong Haiyan asked Chen Yuanshan, pointing to the large pit behind the Zhang family's ancestral grave.

"The Feng Shui of the Zhang family's ancestral burial site has been disrupted. Relocating the graves is not practical, given the nearly hundred graves in this location. The only solution is to fill in this large pit.

Additionally, the water in this pit has become putrid. It needs to be drained, and the contaminated soil removed, replaced with fresh soil. Moreover, on the left side of the Zhang family's ancestral grave is the Azure Dragon position, where those who died unnaturally are buried. This has a significant impact on the future generations of the Zhang family. It's advisable to relocate those five graves as far away as possible."

Chen Yuanshan addressed the issues of the large pit behind the Zhang family's ancestral grave and pointed to the five graves of unnatural deaths.

"Nowadays, the Zhang family defers to my husband's eldest uncle. I have to discuss this matter with him. I cannot make decisions on my own," Gong Haiyan muttered with frustration.

"By the way, the Azure Dragon position of the Zhang family's ancestral grave is somewhat low. If those five graves are moved, it's best to plant more trees on the right side of the ancestral grave. I've pointed out the problems and provided solutions. Whether you follow through is your decision."

After conveying this information to Gong Haiyan, Chen Yuanshan handed the compass to me and walked downhill with hands behind his back.

I took the compass from Chen Yuanshan and followed him.

"Sister, I think Master Chen's advice makes sense. You need to resolve this matter quickly; otherwise, there might be trouble for my nephew."

Gong Haifeng, looking at the large pit behind the Zhang family's ancestral grave, tried to persuade Gong Haiyan.

"I am just the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. I can secretly handle the pit's issue, but I can't make decisions about moving those five graves. Now, the Zhang family is managed by my husband's eldest uncle. I need to discuss this matter with him. He is quite superstitious. Perhaps, repeating what Master Chen told me today could be helpful."

Gong Haiyan replied to her sister and walked downhill.

Upon returning to the city, it was already past noon. Gong Haiyan did not drop us off at the Daoist Respect Hall but took us to a relatively decent mid-range restaurant in the city.

"Master Chen, today has been a hectic day. Let's have lunch together, and I'll take you to the Daoist Respect Hall afterward."
