Chapter 18

1939, Biaoziling in Changsha Biaoziling was a mountain range located in the southern part of Changsha. Situated directly beneath the "dragon's head" of Changsha, it served as a natural barrier for the city and had once been an ancient military fortress. Changsha was renowned for its exceptional Feng Shui, but Biaoziling was an exception. Judging purely by Feng Shui principles, the place was thoroughly unsuited for a burial site. Even someone completely ignorant of Feng Shui knew the phrase "leaning against the mountains and facing the water." Generally, it was believed that mountains governed the progeny while water governed wealth, yet this place had mountains without water, failing to gather either vital energy or prosperity. However, as the old saying went, as long as one's thinking didn't slip, there were always more solutions than difficulties. This applied not only to the person who had built a tomb here at Biaoziling, but also to four tomb robbers.
