Chapter 1:
My name is Qiao Moyu, a freshman at Nanjiang University, the only contemporary successor of the Geomancer and also the Master of the Fengmen.
Geomancer, in ancient times, refers to a feng shui master.
Among the Eight Martial Arts Sects, the Fengmen specializes in the study of the world's geography and natural features.
In short, when it comes to feng shui, I am second to none.
Last time, I was invited by the feng shui master, Chen Zhen, to go to Hong Kong to check the feng shui of the ancestral tomb of wealthy businessman Liu Xiong.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiong's father turned into a corpse, and several people were injured by zombies and poisoned.
In the world of toxins, where one poison exists, there must be an antidote within seven steps.
The same goes for zombies.
Since ancient times, there have been corpse drivers and corpse keeping places in Xiangxi.
In the local old forests, there is a plant called Huixiang grass, which specifically counteracts corpse poison.
After returning from Hong Kong, I took a long vacation from school and prepared to bring Liu Xiong and the others to Xiangxi to find Huixiang grass.
This time, I purposely brought along school heartthrob Jiang Haoyan.
Jiang Haoyan was excited, thinking that he had extraordinary talent and that I wanted to accept him as my disciple.
I shook my head and said, "I chose you because you are tall and can help me carry luggage." Jiang Haoyan, who was 1.85 meters tall and also the captain of the school basketball team, had strong muscles, so it would be a waste not to have him handle heavy objects.
Jiang Haoyan felt disappointed for a second but then became excited again.
"It's alright, I will show off my skills later, and you will definitely discover my talent.
I firmly believe that gold will always shine." I asked Jiang Haoyan to prepare a bunch of things and bring two fully packed suitcases as we set off for Xiangxi.
Xiangxi is known as the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, with many Tujia and Miao ethnic groups living in the mountains, isolated from the outside world for generations.
Tujia people are relatively good-natured, but the Miao people are different.
The Miao are divided into Shengmiao and Shumiao.
Shumiao has almost been sinicized, with no significant differences in clothing from the Han people, while Shengmiao has always insisted on speaking the local Miao dialect, living hidden in the mountains and avoiding contact with outsiders.
"The people from Shengmiao can use witchcraft, and they have a stubborn temperament and are sensitive to the gaze of outsiders.
So if you encounter someone speaking the dialect, be polite and try not to offend them." I kept reminding Jiang Haoyan along the way.
After arriving at the border city airport and meeting up with Liu Xiong and the others, I took out a stack of red baseball caps from the suitcase and asked them to wear them.
"We are a travel group going to explore the mountains.
Once you put on the hats, you all have to call me Qiao, the tour guide.
Got it?" The elderly group was very excited and eagerly grabbed the hats, wearing them.
"Master...
Qiao, the tour guide, I just saw several rare brush-like mountains from the airplane! Brush mountains are known for producing military generals.
This kind of mountain terrain is seldom seen in Hong Kong." "Really? Where? We will go there by car later to take a look." The elderly group started discussing and planning without following my instructions.
I became stern.
"What are you all looking at? If anything happens, I'll make sure you all get buried there, and you can have your fill of the view!"
