The land of our country has all sorts of strange and peculiar place names. Some of them are so awkward that modern people can't help but feel embarrassed, but to the people who named them, those words didn't have any special meaning; they were simply direct descriptions of local characteristics.

Judging by this naming convention, "Mute," "Grave Weeping," "Crooked Neck," "Ghost Headbutt"... none of these can be called auspicious. On the contrary, they all exude an ominous feeling.

In contrast, the road names in the central urban area of Huixiang are very normal, even orderly. Most are named with sequential numbers like one, two, three, four, and directional names like east, west, south, and north. The roads are also straight and perpendicular, indicating it's a rare place that underwent planning very early on.

"I thought only the capital was like this," Guo Yujie said.

The capital, the seat of power throughout the dynasties, had its streets meticulously planned. Our country has always valued "orderliness," and this is most evident in the capital cities. Those places have always been where successive dynasties poured great effort into infrastructure.

Huixiang, a county-level city, having such roads was somewhat beyond my expectations.

However, looking at the surrounding place names, I found it even more bizarre.

As Wu Ling had said, you don't need to understand feng shui. Just by looking at the surrounding place names, you know the feng shui of this place is bad.

But knowing this is of no use to us.

A county-level city with a small population, no one talks about it, and it's not one of the top ten most bizarre places in the country. The information we could find about Huixiang was extremely limited.

Nangong Yao could find more information online than we could.

At the very least,
