A straight road, lane or corridor aimed directly at the house, typically at a T-junction. The texts read it as qi arriving too fast and too straight; the strength depends on the width of the road and how directly it points at a door or window. Screens, planting and moving the entrance off the line are the traditional answers.

山峰宅有四山高压，或白虎方高峰昂起，坡头岭脚，在关煞方，及凹风缺远射，不论前后左右皆忌，凡有冲射，勿拘何煞，前主伤夫，后主伤妻，左主损男，右主损女。 《宅法举隅·外六事总论》 · 清 · 锡山 取其理推分合以定浅深明饶减以存尅制倚撞盖粘体势情意差之毫厘谬以千里担来龙急气脉直冲中无乳气穴粘右边侧受倚其后托左臂长而明堂寛展如人之担势也宜浅开金井若太深必伤宜培加客土填实于茔必主富贵绵逺 《撼龙经·下篇》 · 唐 · 杨筠松 Sources: 殆知阁 (Daizhige) corpus, Chinese Wikisource and transcribed editions; see the manifest for each book's provenance.
