After putting away their luggage, everyone can go to the temporary canteen to eat. The same rule applies: you must come back directly after eating and are not allowed to wander around the village.
Wei Mian was not interested in challenging the rules, and she also needed to conserve her energy, so after dinner she went straight back to her room and meditated on her small bed.
Wu Manman didn't plan to sleep tonight, so she was doing the same thing as Wei Mian, and their room was quiet.
At first, I could still hear Zhong Miaoyi's occasional complaints from next door, but as the night grew deeper, there was gradually no movement.
Wei Mian did not devote all her mind to cultivation, so in the middle of the night, she suddenly felt that she was being watched by something.
Wei Mian breathed normally, even his eyelashes didn't tremble. After a while, the feeling of being spied on disappeared.
As soon as the feeling of being spied on disappeared, she opened her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and looked in the direction where the gaze had just come from.
On a silent night, the entire island was quiet. It was a warm spring night, but there was not even the sound of insects, making people feel that the surroundings were dead silent.
Wei Mian frowned, but she did not open her third eye to look outside. She did not know what was being spied on for the time being. If she used her third eye rashly, it might alert the other party if they sensed it.
Wei Mian knew that the second half of the night was completely safe and that thing would not come again, so he simply lay down and rested.
After she closed her eyes, Wu Manman, who was meditating opposite her, also opened her eyes. She did the same thing as Wei Mian just now and looked out the window.
She didn't feel like she was being spied on, but the sudden sense of crisis at that moment made the hairs on her body stand up.
Wu Manman was born with a keen sense, or in ordinary people's words, she had a strong sixth sense. Her perception of danger was always many times stronger than that of others. Therefore, although she did not have very high strength, she was able to avoid many disasters.
So even though her hair stood on end at that moment, Wu Manman didn't dare to relax at all. It seemed that her feeling yesterday was right, and the trip to this island might be very dangerous.
There was no conversation all night, and in the morning they were awakened by the sound of birds singing.
Wei Mian opened her eyes. She fell asleep after that thing left last night, but she hadn't slept on a hard bed for a long time. After half a night, she felt stiff all over.
He jumped out of bed, stretched hard, and did a few simple stretches before going out to wash up.
The village at this time was different from the dead silence of last night. You could actually hear the birds singing.
She stood in the half-human-high grass in the backyard and once again practiced the unique skills of the Zhengyang Sect. It felt the same as yesterday, she really couldn't absorb any vitality at all!
It seems that there is no restriction on the house, but on the entire island.
I don’t know what’s going on, there are obviously a lot of flowers, plants, trees, and even a continuous mountain.
In theory, once she practiced her skills, she would be able to mobilize the vitality of nearby plants towards her body, absorb it all into her body, and then use her skills to transform it into spiritual energy.
But since last night she discovered that she could not mobilize the vitality here, let alone absorb it.
This means that on this small island, once the spiritual energy in your body is used up, there is no way to replenish it!
This was an experience she had never had before in all the places she had visited, so Wei Mian couldn't help but take it seriously. It seemed that this island really had some weird places.
After breakfast, everyone gathered at the end of the village. Before Wei Mian and Wu Manman arrived, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Zheng Hao. He pulled Liang Haoran and the two hurried to Wei Mian's side.
Because there were people around, he didn't call out rashly. He glanced at Wei Mian and only stopped after making sure that he was okay.
Wei Mian saw that the two of them had something to say, and he knew what they were going to say. He soothed them with his eyes, and then joined the assembled team with Wu Manman.
There, the chubby Qiao Hongda was already waiting. He spoke with a smile only after he saw that everyone had arrived.
"It seems everyone had a good rest last night. Well, I won't waste any more words. Today begins the first exam since arriving on the island. I hope all Feng Shui masters will show their true abilities."
"This exam has eleven questions in total, and every three people have the same questions. They are randomly formed into teams and are required to find a house according to the questions, but—"
Qiao Hongda's originally kind eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Even if we work in a team, everyone in the group cannot share their answers. Instead, they must write down their own opinions on the house and explain the solution. We will send local villagers to help explain the situation."
"As for the solution, it is not the only one. The judging panel will add or subtract points based on the situation."
As soon as Qiao Hongda finished explaining the rules, everyone started whispering to each other, simply because this had never happened before.
But it is not difficult to understand. There are not many families on the island. It is impossible for all families to have feng shui problems. It is almost impossible for each of the 33 people to get a house.
Similarly, in order to ensure fairness, the contestants' names need to be covered up, and even their handwriting will not be revealed. A dedicated person will recopy the papers and send them for scoring.
This is almost equivalent to the 33 people who go to the island not being eliminated, but being scored based on their performance and ranked according to their scores.
Wei Mian didn't say anything, and Zheng Hao and Liang Haoran wouldn't say anything either. Since it was a random assignment, the probability of the three being grouped together was extremely low.
Sure enough, after being divided into groups, the three were separated.
Wei Mian was grouped with two unfamiliar men. The one in his forties with a Mediterranean hairstyle was called Wan Jide, and the other was in his thirties, tall and thin like an IT guy, called Jiang Long.
The two men did not treat Wei Mian differently because she was a woman. They nodded to each other and followed the villagers to the house at the foot of the mountain.
The person in charge of leading the way was a dark and thin old man. He spoke not very standard Mandarin and introduced the origin of the house to the three people.
Wei Mian had to listen carefully before he could barely understand.
It is said that the owner of the house was surnamed Zhu, and the villagers called him Lao Zhu. Although he was called Lao Zhu, he was actually not that old, only about forty years old at the time.
The Zhu family is considered a craftsman because of their ancestral skill of slaughtering pigs. They do not need to worry about their livelihood and are one of the more affluent families in the village.
Everything was fine originally. Later, when Lao Zhu earned some money and his children grew up, he thought about renovating and rebuilding the house and expanding it to the side.
Tearing down the old house and rebuilding it was originally a good thing, but unexpectedly, the family was broken up because of this house.
