Demon Gate

The ancient texts hint that, of these "Death Ground" areas, the most deadly would be the one ill-known as "Demon Gate". The term "Gate" indicates a direction or channel through which dangerous forces align.

It is the famous Sung master Lai Bu Yi who particularly described this Demon Gate:

• Yang Guan undulating producing the bee's waist, Yin Quan the gravel and water coming to welcome.
  It is a strong taboo that Gan Xing (North Pole stars) shining high on the hsueh, the drum and water container (bowl) sequence, the calamity still persists. Cui Guan Pian 27-28

  Gui Niu (Ghost Cow) coming and going are not auspicious, chanting the classics to eliminate the devils, always encounter with bad.
  Gui Liu (ghost flowing) to come and go, the Lung entering into Zhen, explosions on day time frightening west and east. Cui Guan Pian 278-279

"Gui Liu" or Ghost Flow is "Demon Gate"! Lai Bu Yi indicates that it is a "bee's waist" like channel formed by the narrow valley between two mountain ranges - hence "bee's waist". This channel or valley has a linear alignment towards the North stars - hence the forbidden North East.

It can be explained why such a physical landform of the North East facing narrow valley is very dangerous. In the canyon areas of the western parts of USA there are high canyons with narrow deep valleys. Strong winds are known to funnel through such narrow channels and tornadoes can be formed. The flowing large air mass from the North meets the North facing and forces itself to funnel into the narrow valley. The wind force will be rushing and strong. Such a climatic condition is injurious. This is what is the "Demon Gate" and is a very bad physical landform.

• The narrow valley between the two mountains is only dangerous if it in the path of the wind blowing from the North. The two mountains must be one to the East and one to the West.

  If the valley is flanked by mountain ridges one along the North and one along the South, then it is not Demon Gate area. Of course, whether this valley is a Ming Tang depends on the presence of the physical features of the Four Heraldic Beasts.

The winds coming from the North are generally adiabatic and will carry heavy loads of dusts and positive ions. People would be bathed in an unseen Death mist. Notable examples are the Alpine foehn winds which are known to cause heaviness in the air, stress, tensions, poor health and violent human behaviour.

It can be strange that practitioners do not often bring up this subject of Demon Gate. The horror is confined to "Oh, your house faces the North East!" You curse your luck that, of all the houses in the neighbourhood, it is yours which happened to face North East! Why are not your neighbours as unlucky?

But the terrible error is that the Demon Gate concept is lost among the wide trivials often taught and applied in so-called form Luan Tuo Feng Shui. People are unwittingly staying in Demon Gate areas. The Demon Gate concept shares with that of the Ming Tang as the most important and crucial of the Feng Shui concepts.

• Yang Yun Sung devoted a whole text, Yi Lung Jing (Doubtful Dragon), to explaining the Demon Gate. It is the companion volume to Han Lung Jing (Arousing Dragon) which explains the physical features of the Ming Tang.

  Lu Ban Jing wrote down in Juan 3 the 71 diagrams of what to have and what not to have in arranging the site. Two thirds of his diagrams concern the Demon Gate.

  Most of Lai Bu Y's Cui Guan Pian is about the Demon Gate and what to do against it.

Finally, the Demon Gate is not just a narrow line or small door facing the North East. The Demon Gate can encompasses a large area. In the Kuala Lumpur area, one large Demon Gate zone is that of the northern parts of the Ulu Kang valley covering some tens of square kilometers! The zone is aligned from North to South and has the highest frequency of deadly landslides in Malaysia. The several houses nested within that large area will all be adversely affected by the Demon Gate, not withstanding where their doors face!

• The direction of the door is meaningless in a Demon Gate area. All those fanciful theories about the doors, as often taught in Xuan Kong, Yang Gong and "Water Gates", are meaningless. The Demon Gate is too powerful to be warded off by such inferior Feng Shui.

  The tragic actor Bruce Lee stayed in a Demon Gate area, already known locally as "Demon Valley". In vain the so-called Feng Shui master tried to help him; for the master knew so little about what is "Demon Gate".

  If you want to excel in practising the original scientific Feng Shui, you must learn the ancient secrets of the crucial Ming Tang and Demon Gate.

One more fact. The deadly sha of the Demon Gate fluctuates through the seasons and years due to the influence of the planetary movements on the cosmic fields. One small consolation is that the Demon Gate is not always deadly, but its ill-wind has cyclic timing. As will be discussed further in the next article, the ancient masters used astrology to track the deadly sha in the landform. They also knew that, astrologically, different people reacted in some different ways to the Demon Gate sha.

• They had to find when the ill-winds would blow. Then, the ancient masters invented an arsenal of "Weapons of the Immortals" to counter the Demon Gate. These "Weapons of the Immortals" were to grow to form the bulk of cultural customs and symbolisms universal among the ancient cultures.

  In the very ancient times, the masters were able to create the "Elysian Fields" with that integrated Feng Shui, astrology and rituals. A lawyer asked me, "How important are Feng Shui and astrology?" Confucius' enigmatic answer is: "The people who failed to perform the Rites can be considered as a dead society".

A Luan Tuo course must teach about the Ming Tang. Also, no Luan Tuo course is complete without teaching this Demon Gate concept. No Demon Gate, no real Feng Shui.
Beware... I am coming...

The ancient texts tell about the Feng Shui of the external mounains and rivers and never the internal spaces of a house. All those purported Luan Tuo Feng Shui telling you about internal arangements of doors, rooms and even furniture are rubbish. The astrology interacting with Feng Shui is also one concerned with the external mountains and rivers and never the internal parts of a house.
