Draco raised an eyebrow at her. "Think more about why things are the way they are, clarify the logic, and you can be just as awesome."
Trillian slumped her shoulders, waved her hand, and looked like she couldn't be bothered to think, "Using your brain is too tiring. Is there a way to avoid scams without having to think?"
"Probably," Draco gave a straightforward answer.
Most of the time, we just need to keep a calm mind and tell ourselves when something happens, "This is not necessarily a good thing, nor is it necessarily a bad thing," and that's enough.
Hermione added, "It means calming your mind and actively distancing yourself from things that trigger negative emotions."
"That's right, that's what calmness is." Draco nodded in agreement. "If a news story makes you angry, to the point where you want to yell and punch someone, then you'd better stay away from it. Since I can't change anything, I'll just leave, okay?"
Selene continued, "So, in other words, you should spend more time with things that bring positive emotions and less time watching content that incites extreme emotions, in order to stabilize your own aura?"
"Yes, that's right, but happiness needs to be in moderation," Draco reminded her. "A calm and peaceful state is the best."
"Because extreme joy can lead to sorrow, and extreme sorrow can also lead to joy."
"When a person's emotions go to extremes, they can no longer suppress the 'qi' within their body. As a large amount of qi is released, the energy field changes, and it becomes insufficient to maintain the current happiness."
"He's back to his old self..." Trillian said admiringly.
"We were just chatting casually with this as the core topic, but we veered off course. Now we're getting back to the main point," Draco chuckled.
Then, the discussion continued to extend to the principles of life and the application of vital energy.
"Therefore, one should strive for excellence and never give up."
"It's okay to sigh, but you can't give up. And even then, don't be too extreme. Once you let your anger out, it's like a breach in a dam—you can't control it anymore. You might even become despondent, and it's very difficult to regain that spirit."
"Everyone talks about striving for excellence, but how exactly do you do it?"
"I asked curiously, "Trillian asked.
"I don't know," Draco readily admitted. "It's hard to fight or grow angry. All we can do is avoid being resentful, avoid comparing ourselves to others, avoid competing, and avoid internal strife. There are always people better than us, and there's always something beyond our understanding. As long as we maintain our own inner strength, that's enough."
Trillian said confidently:
"This is easy."
Draco's lips curled into a smile, "Is it really that simple? You were so competitive with me before, insisting on determining who was better. Have you forgotten?"
Trillian wasn't embarrassed. "I lost to you back then, young master, and lost my temper. I have to get my revenge!"
Draco asked, "And what was the result?"
Trillian smiled slyly, "It turns out that you, young master, are too confident and have too much of an aura, so I avoided your sharp edge and chose to lean against a big tree for shade, secretly absorbing your overflowing energy."
Draco couldn't help but laugh, "It has to be you."
Seeing that the topic had ended, Kraven interjected, "Have you finished talking about fate? What exactly is this feng shui stuff?"
Draco glanced at him unexpectedly:
"I didn't expect you to still remember that word."
"Quite interested."
"Feng shui..." Draco drawled.
"I don't know much either."
"Puff."
This sudden turn of events nearly caused several people to strain their backs.
"You don't know much, so you're drawing out the words like that. I thought you were going to launch into a long speech." Hermione rolled her eyes at him.
"Young Master, you're here again. You never understand."
Trillian didn't believe it.
"I really don't understand this time; I only know a little bit."
Draco shrugged.
That's good enough.
Trillian highly approves of Draco's knowledge.
"Alright," Draco said, gathering his thoughts.
"My general concept about Feng Shui is that Qi disperses with the wind and gathers when it encounters water, mainly concerning ancestral graves and residences."
"If a person is physically and mentally healthy, and their surroundings seem normal, but they inexplicably fall ill despite trying various remedies without success,..."
At this time,
People will start to suspect that there's something wrong with the place they live in. If there's nothing wrong with the living quarters (yang house), then they'll investigate the yin houses (yin house), which are the places where the dead live.
After a pause, Draco continued explaining the role of feng shui:
"In addition, feng shui believes that the quality of the feng shui of the burial site of ancestors can indirectly affect future generations."
"Because the dead also bless their children. If the place has good feng shui and abundant yin energy, then wouldn't your ancestors be more powerful? Wouldn't they be able to protect you even more?"
Trillian was surprised. "No wonder powerful and influential people are so particular about the location of their tombs, is there such a thing as this?"
Kraven curiously, "Where is the best feng shui?"
"Everyone in the market says it's a place with water in front and mountains behind, a feng shui treasure." Draco relayed the popular saying, adding his own opinion.
"Of course, whether the things circulating in the market are actually effective is unknown. I don't care about such things."
"This is the feng shui of ancestral graves. If you build a house according to the feng shui principles of ancestral graves, there will definitely be problems."
"Conversely, if you don't understand feng shui but mess around with it, the consequences will range from financial loss to the destruction of your family. So, if you're not in that business, don't mess around with it."
Kraven remembered. "Come to think of it, some vampires have actually done this before, paying experts to help them choose burial sites."
Draco asked with great interest, "So, does it work?"
Kraven shook his head, a hint of regret in his voice. "That family's situation only got worse and worse afterward."
Trillian asked in confusion:
"Could it be that the feng shui master misjudged the situation?"
"Quite the opposite," Kraven denied. "That gentleman has an extremely high reputation in the East, and his skills are universally acknowledged as top-notch. Countless wealthy merchants and powerful families line up to have him consult on feng shui and choose burial sites, and no one has ever questioned his abilities."
"Why is that?" Trillian turned to look at Draco.
I habitually seek answers from him.
Draco didn't answer immediately, but instead asked Kraven, "What kind of people do you think that family is?"
"He's no saint; he's got a lot of shady dealings going on." Kraven answered truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Trillian suddenly understood and said triumphantly, "I get it!"
Draco glanced at her. "What do you know?"
Trillian said confidently, "It must be that the energy of the auspicious burial site is clashing with the person buried there, that's why it's not working!"
"Right." Draco snapped his fingers.
"As the old saying goes, 'A blessed place is inhabited by a blessed person.' Only those with good character can harness the spiritual energy of a feng shui treasure land; if one is without virtue, even the best feng shui arrangement will be useless. Old Master Ren is a living example. Even if the feng shui master didn't use any underhanded methods, given his character, he would have run into serious trouble sooner or later."
Upon hearing the unfamiliar name " Old Master Ren " again, Hermione, Trillian, and the others all turned to look at Draco.
