On the contrary, it was extremely disadvantageous. Simply put, the four phenomena had their own drawbacks, and were called the "Four Evils".

They were, respectively, the Vermillion Bird's Grief, the Black Tortoise's Hidden Head, the Azure Dragon Leopard, and the White Tiger's Ouroboros.

The Hou Family's mansion was located in this shallow water bay and enjoyed the blessings of the Nine Dragons Protector. It could be said that it was the best opportunity in the world.

With the "White Tiger's corpse", a nun appeared in Hou Family. She was the old lady who was in charge of protecting the cauldron.

At first, Lin Yiyuan did not pay much attention to the old lady, he only thought of her as an ordinary nun. It was only when he saw through the flaws in the Four Symbols Yin and Yang did he finally understand, that all of this was just a test to determine if the Feng Shui Master had any true talent or not as a deceptive trick, but Lin Yiyuan did not care, because the deceptive method was not meant for him.

Returning down the mountain to the Hou Family's mansion, around the ancestral hall, he saw the old lady still seated inside the small pavilion, the sky had completely darkened, the pavilion was lit with electric candles, and in the dim light, the old lady's eyes opened. Hou Xinyun increased her pace and entered the pavilion, muttering some words.

"Thank you, Master Lin, for your greetings. Please forgive me for the disrespect earlier. This humble one apologizes."

After knowing what had happened on the mountain, the old lady's face revealed shock, she quickly got up and walked towards Lin Yiyuan to apologize, her attitude was as though she was a completely different person.

"I understand your troubles, but your family has been through many mishaps. I'm sorry I couldn't figure it out, but I can't help. I'm really looking forward to it!"

Other than the Four Symbols Yin Yang Baleful Qi, Lin Yiyuan did not see anything else and was speaking the truth.

"Fellow Taoist Lin is too modest, because this problem is not at home."

The old lady spoke in a shocking manner, causing people to think that she was playing with someone else, and that Lin Yiyuan was not someone who would become hot-blooded just because of a few words, he maintained his usual demeanor and waited for an explanation. The old lady then sighed, "Ai, I believe Xin Yun already told you that my big brother was buried, and not long after my brother died, a storm suddenly poured down from the sky, causing the new grave to be discovered missing."

Lin Yiyuan nodded his head: "Madam Hou has already mentioned this before, could it be?"

Lin Yiyuan wanted to say something but hesitated. His eyes revealed confusion.

"That's right, ever since the calamity occurred, my father had been trying to find a way to save him, but to no avail. He was simply unable to find a reason, so I had no choice but to use the Ten Directions Large Formation to pry into the secrets to heaven.

The old woman gloomily explained.

Zuo Xinrong and Hou Xinyun who were at the side also had a face full of sadness, but Lin Yiyuan was the only one who was shocked. He had never thought that the Hou Family would actually grasp the legendary Ten Directions Large Formation, and use it to deduce the Heaven's Secrets.

When he fought with Sima Nan a while back, this old fellow had spread his rumours about him obtaining the Ten Directions Large Formation, and the scenes of him being trapped in the funeral parlor were still fresh in Lin Yiyuan's mind. It was a pity that Sima Nan went crazy later on and stopped the information about the Ten Directions Large Formation as well.

"Are you sure? Is it really the Ten Directions Large Formation? "

Lin Yiyuan swallowed his saliva and asked, the moment he said those words, he regretted it, because he acted too hastily, causing people to misunderstand, thus he quickly explained, "Erm … I was just curious, there was no other reason, please don't misunderstand."

The old granny laughed and shook her hands, not minding Lin Yiyuan's abrupt action just now, causing the atmosphere to quiet down immediately. In just a few breaths, the old granny seemed to have made some sort of decision, as she raised her head to look at Lin Yiyuan.

"Fellow Taoist Lin, please follow me! There's one thing you'll understand when you see it. "

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned and led the way, while Zuo Xinrong consciously stayed behind to guard the furnace, the three of them walked inside the courtyard until they arrived at an ancient looking study.

The study was surrounded by bookshelves with many books displayed on them. In the end, there was a rosewood desk, and on the table were the four treasures of the study, as well as the paper under the paperweight.

The old woman walked to the bookshelf on the right, reached her hand into the bookshelf and activated some sort of mechanism. The stationary bookshelf suddenly shook and split apart, revealing a secret door.

Seeing that this place was so secretive, Lin Yiyuan knew in his heart that this was the Hou Family's private place.

"Fellow Taoist Lin, no need to be so formal, please follow me in!"

After the hidden door completely opened, the old lady turned and greeted Lin Yiyuan, and then she took the lead to enter first. Seeing Lin Yiyuan hesitate, Hou Xinyun laughed and said: "It's not a forbidden area, there are no treasures inside, and it's also not a dragon's lagoon and tiger's den, Master Lin does not need to think too much about it."

Hou Xinyun had already said everything clearly, if she refused it, it would weaken her cultivation, so Lin Yiyuan followed him in.

Behind the secret door was a passageway that led directly to the underground. Both sides of the corridor were lit up by lights, and the steps on the ground were quite clean. In addition, the temperature inside the room was obviously higher than outside.

After descending about ten meters, they reached the end of the tunnel, where a closed steel door impressively entered their eyes. The wall had a password and lock, giving off a very high-end and grandiose feeling. The old woman pressed a string of codes, causing the metal door to open, and in the middle, there was actually a vacuum passage, about five to six meters long, and at the other end of the corridor, there was another door.

"Holy shit, an American movie!" With such a high level, there shouldn't be any peerless treasure hidden inside, right? "

Lin Yiyuan had only seen this scene once in the United States. He never thought that he would personally experience it now, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

There was a fingerprint reader at the door, and the old woman pressed her thumb against it. The fingerprint reader flashed a green light, and then, like a Transformers, a code device popped out from inside. The old woman pressed another string of codes, and with the opening of the door, they arrived at their destination.

The inside of the door was a treasure room with a constant temperature and treasure room. On the walls were all sorts of famous paintings and shelves filled with all sorts of boxes containing all kinds of rare treasures. Seeing this, Lin Yiyuan could easily understand that this was the Hou Family's foundation.

The old woman seemed to be tired of seeing these precious treasures. She walked straight to a shelf, took down a box from it, opened it, and took out a letter. Then, she turned around and walked back.

"Fellow Taoist Lin, this is the treasure."

As she spoke, the old woman handed over the letter.

After taking a look, there were no words written on the cover of the book, the corners of the book raised, and when he flipped opened to the first page, what entered his eyes was a large pile of handwritten words, densely packed together, as though it was a work diary, but Lin Yiyuan was immediately stunned upon reading the contents.

"The Ten Directions Large Formation …"
