The next morning, a hundred people gathered downstairs and took a bus to the second examination venue. Wei Mian didn't know where it was, but it looked like it was at the foot of a mountain.
After everyone got off the bus, the same staff member from yesterday came out to explain the exam rules and distributed a wristband to everyone.
Wei Mian listened attentively while observing the surrounding environment.
This is the highest mountain in Hong Kong. Due to the Feng Shui Master Competition, a cordon has been set up at the foot of the mountain. Ordinary people are not allowed to go up the mountain, otherwise they will be trapped by the formation. Not only can they not get out, they may even lose their lives.
All the roads leading up the mountain are set up with different formations, including trapping formations, killing formations, and possibly formations within formations.
Feng shui masters who take the exam are evaluated based on their own abilities, and those who can reach the top of the mountain within the specified time will be considered to have passed.
Wei Mian knew that he would be outdoors today, so he wore a sun hat and a mask. After the rules were explained, everyone was randomly assigned to different places at the foot of the mountain.
One hundred people seemed like a lot, but the mountain was very large and the crowd quickly dispersed. After a while, when Wei Mian looked around again, he couldn't see even a single person.
However, she could clearly feel that there were cameras in the woods and drones in the sky, all of which were diligently recording at the moment.
Wei Mian looked up at the sky, sprayed some mosquito repellent floral water on his body, and staggered into the woods.
The port city is still as warm as spring in September, and the leaves rustle in the breeze.
After walking forward for a while, Wei Mian suddenly stopped. She looked around and raised her eyebrows. She had just entered the mountain and had already run into a maze.
After she kicked a very ordinary branch, a thick gray fog suddenly came from all directions. The fog spread rapidly and soon enveloped the entire space.
With his vision blocked, an ordinary person would have panicked long ago, but Wei Mian was not panicked at all, because with the Heavenly Eye, the fog that blocked his vision had no effect at all.
She opened her third eye and easily found a few key points in the maze. In a few moves, she destroyed the entire maze. However, in the blink of an eye, the thick fog that had just filled the surroundings disappeared.
Wei Mian raised his legs and continued to move forward. When he was almost halfway up the mountain, he heard screams coming from the southwest.
She just listened with her ears tilted, without stopping at all. She had said before that there were traps and killing arrays on the mountain. If she really couldn't solve them, she could use the bracelet she was given to ask for help.
This is only the second game, and the harder ones are yet to come. If you can't get through the previous ones, don't waste your time.
Just as we reached halfway up the mountain, a mud wall suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Two minutes later, with a loud bang, the Five Elements Formation was broken and she continued to move forward.
It was not until she was almost at the top of the mountain that Wei Mian encountered a formation that required some effort on her part - the Seven-Point Formation.
This formation requires seven people to break it, standing on the seven centers of the formation. She guessed that the organizer's purpose might be to let everyone work as a team and gather seven people who are about to reach the top of the mountain to pass this formation together.
However, Wei Mian had no intention of waiting. She took out two pieces of paper from her pocket without hesitation and stood there tearing the paper man.
After tearing six pieces, Wei Mian muttered something, and soon, six paper figures stood in a row in front of her, with extremely respectful attitudes.
Regardless of whether they are real people or not, she has gathered all seven of them.
Wei Mian commanded several paper figures to stand at designated positions, and after making sure that their positions were correct, he stood at the most critical center of the formation.
Her black eyes lowered, and a spell that seemed to have some ancient charm came out of her mouth. Soon, the wind suddenly blew in the woods, and the wind became stronger and stronger, even swirling.
At this moment, Wei Mian suddenly moved. Her long flowing hair fluttered in the fierce gust of wind from the formation, but there was no abnormal expression on her face.
At this time, four of the eight judges were already on the top of the mountain, and the remaining four were in the woods, observing the candidates at any time.
The four people on the top of the mountain were drinking tea and chatting.
"I see a lot of new faces this year, each one younger than the last. This shows that our Taoist sect has successors!"
The old man in a suit and tie said with a smile.
He is Zhong Shuo, the head of the current generation of the Zhong family, a Feng Shui family in Hong Kong. He is considered to be Zhong Lang's cousin, but Zhong Lang is from the side branch, while Zhong Shuo is from the main branch.
"Humph, they're all here to join in the fun. The TV station is going to broadcast this, which has attracted many people who want to become famous. At least we have to wait until this stage is over before the rest of us can be called Feng Shui masters."
The person who was speaking was about sixty years old, with gray hair, firm features, and a strong look. He looked like a strong person.
This person is Zhang Xun from the Zhang family of the Tianhe Sect. He had some conflicts with the previous generation of the Zhong family, so when he saw Zhong Shuo saying those high-sounding words, he always wanted to say something back.
An old man in a black Tang suit stood next to him with his hands behind his back, looking like a master. He looked to be in his sixties, but his hair was jet black without a single strand of white.
When he heard what the two said, he just glanced at them indifferently. Although they didn't say anything, the two didn't dare to say another word.
This old man is He Zhenzhong, the head of the Tianhe School and a leading figure in the Feng Shui world of Hong Kong. However, he has not been involved in the affairs for many years. He only comes out to supervise the Feng Shui Master Competition every ten years, hoping that there will be more rising stars in the Taoist sect.
At this moment, the four people suddenly saw a tornado blowing up out of nowhere from a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain. The tornado picked up the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and soon gathered into a large black ball.
"What is that!"
Zhong Shuo immediately stood up and looked in that direction with a look of shock.
Zhang Xun, who just couldn't help but argue with others, now widened his eyes and stared at the place where the tornado was blowing.
He Zhenzhong still had no expression on his face, but his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice.
After the dark mass spun at high speed for a few breaths, a little golden light suddenly shone from the middle, but the golden light spread out in the blink of an eye.
As the golden light spread, the woods gradually calmed down, as if the previous scene was just an illusion.
"Someone broke the Seven Clever Formation!"
He Zhenzhong spoke first.
His voice was calm, but there was something strange in his eyes.
"So fast?" Zhong Shuo asked in surprise.
This was not the first time that the Seven-Piece Formation was used in a competition, but it was the first time that it was broken so quickly.
The Seven-Point Formation requires seven people to break it at the same time, and they must exert force at the same time to break it. If any one of them is a step late, all seven will be attacked by the formation.
Therefore, over the years, only a few people have been able to pass the Qiqiao Formation.
There is no other reason. The Feng Shui Master Competition is a competition after all, and everyone is in a competitive relationship. If you want people to let down their guard and trust other people wholeheartedly, few people can do it unless they are from the same school.
But He Zhenzhong discovered something unusual. It wasn't seven people who broke the formation, but only one!
