Then, Shu Guan placed the large leather suitcase he was holding down on the ground and opened it.
For this trip to Jinling City, he had brought over everything hidden under the bed in his room on the second floor of Zouma Hall.
He took out the geomancy artifacts of the Zouma sect from the suitcase: a purple compass, the Dragon-Seeking Ruler, and a small bronze bell. Then, he inserted the four Dragon-Seeking Rulers into each corner of the sleeping chamber, held the compass in one hand and the bronze bell in the other, and started wandering around the chamber in a seemingly haphazard manner.
Of course, "wandering haphazardly" was what it seemed to others. In reality, Shu Guan was using the Nine Square Bagua Steps, supplementing them with the compass, to carefully examine every subtle flow and change of the feng shui energy within the room.
He also deduced the originating point of the initial changes based on these subtle variations in the feng shui energy.
