There is an idiom called "three days of fishing, two days of drying nets", it may be said that you Fang, the next period of time, You Fang collects netherworld soil at night, the second day borrows the earth qi spirit to nourish the soul, the third day refining the realm into the painting and transfers the soul, the fourth day of the night to collect the netherworld soil, the fifth day and then recuperate the divine sense, basically three days of practice, two days of hard work, although it is not as good as Songhe Valley, but it is also a very good feng shui treasure land.

This rhythm was groped out a few days ago when searching for secret magic crystals in various places, without exhausting the divine sense at one time, the spell casting just reached a critical point, and the netherworld soil collected each time was not the most, but from the perspective of accumulation, it was the most efficient, and it felt the most comfortable.

Moreover, practicing in this way, You Fang felt that the power of his divine consciousness was slowly increasing imperceptibly, although it was very slow, but compared to the secret method cultivation that required many years and months, this speed of improvement was already quite amazing! It is difficult to quantify whether the skill is profound or not, but it may be that the scope of the divine consciousness is wider, and the operating earth qi spirit is more refined.

But this situation is not static, it is affected by the change of the environment and the physical and mental state of the person is very fluctuating, the reason why you choose to collect at midnight is that it is convenient, on the other hand, the efficiency of collecting netherworld soil is two percent higher than that at noon. Originally, it would take a long time to improve his self-awareness skills, but Master Liu Li gave him a very intuitive and subtle way of self-reflection, that is, under the same circumstances, how many netherworld soil can be collected at one time?

Moreover, if you find the most suitable rhythm for yourself, you can also achieve the fastest state of skill improvement under relative conditions. You Fang realized more and more deeply that the old man's methods were too fine, and he had an unfathomable feeling! Whether it was for him to look for secret crystals in Chenzhou, or to go to the world to collect netherworld soil, it seemed to be simple and casual, and the words were not explained thoroughly, but the key points were wonderful.

If everything was made clear at the beginning, whether You Fang could understand it and not say it, I am afraid that it would be difficult to have those coincidences in the various accidents encountered later. A generation of earth qi masters, worthy of their reputation, You Fang admires the master for the five-body throwing to the ground.

The "smart" You Fang thought he had seen through the master's intentions several times: the first time was after understanding the difficulty of finding the netherworld soil, he thought that the master just let him take this opportunity to walk the mountains and rivers of the world, not only to experience the world but also to carry the scenery and refinement, so he played a trick and created a special picture scroll to carry with him, and handed over the matter of finding the netherworld soil to his brother-in-law to help.

The second time was when he heard Xiang Yinghua mention that when he reached the realm of "Divine Consciousness and Divine Thoughts", the netherworld soil could also be refined by himself, and he thought that the old man was playing with the threshold of the rivers and lakes of "two ends blocked", no matter what, the purpose was to limit his vision and cultivation when he became a teacher. (Note: See Chapter 129, Two Ends Block.) ）

Looking back now, the old man must have all these intentions, but collecting the Netherworld Soil itself is still the most important thing for You Fang. His foundation master knows very well that the foundation of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, especially the book gate and the wind gate, is very good, and the subtlety of spiritual sense and divine consciousness control is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but the lack of skill is his biggest deficiency, and as long as the netherworld soil is used correctly, it is the best way to make up for it.

Even Xiang Yinghua was amazed, You Fang told her what Netherworld Soil was and how to collect it, she personally tried and watched You Fang's practice and hard work during this time, and found that this was an excellent exercise for skill improvement, it depends on how the individual comprehends its fun. The only pity is that the Netherworld Soil is too difficult to find and cannot be promoted in the Great Sect Inheritance, it can only belong to a separate secret tradition.

Of course, You Fang himself experienced the most profoundly, and even found the fun described by the ancients as "continuous and indiligent". One night, when I was chatting with Xiang Yinghua about my cultivation feelings, I also heard her recite a poem by Tang Yuchuanzi - Eating too much alone and yin and yang, and walking through a hundred levels, as if there is a deep existence.

Of course, I have to thank the country's archaeologists, otherwise, even if I know that there is netherworld soil buried underneath, let alone collect, even if I let You Fang take a hoe and dig up the green paste mud layer everywhere, I don't know if it will be done until the Year of the Monkey. Today, there are dozens of archaeologists in the valley, directing more than 200 local migrant workers every day to excavate and explore the area in a planned and hierarchical manner.

On the slope at the foot of this mountain, there are hundreds of stolen ancient Chu tombs, almost all of them can be found, and the large-scale excavation lasted for more than three years, and even the food basins fed by the chickens in the villagers' homes are painted pottery of the Han Dynasty. If you want to rescue, clean up, and protect them all, the workload is not ordinarily large.

The archaeologists were divided into seven teams, and each team cleaned one tomb per week, and the on-site work took several months. If it weren't for the fact that Chi Mu Duo found that Jianmu caused a sensation and attention, it would not have been possible to approve this large amount of funds, and the local government would not have paid so much attention to and cooperated.

Are they all stolen tombs, and are they also worth cleaning and rescuing? Of course there is, and it is very necessary. Tomb robbers only care about what artifacts can be sold for money, and they don't care what artifacts they destroy. For example, when Chi Muduo entered the place where Chu Yang and Nan Ji were martyred, he paid the most attention to the traces of silk fabrics left on the ancient dust next to the bones, and the tomb robbers would not pay attention to these at all.

There are also some cultural relics that are buried in collapsed tombs, or damaged and discarded in the process of tomb robbery, and archaeologists have to clean them up and carry out preliminary patchwork and restoration. Not to mention anything else, there are a lot of painted pottery fragments that are cleaned up every day, and these should have been complete artifacts in the tomb.

Of course, You Fang also has to participate in the work of the archaeological team during the day, You Chengyuan doesn't take much care of him, and all the assignments are tiring work, the most important thing is to go down to the tomb to excavate, and with Xiang Yinghua, the excavated things are all cleaned up by Xiang Yinghua. These two people work very well together, and the efficiency is amazing, with the two of them, the other team members feel much more relaxed. In fact, You Fang and Xiang Yinghua did this work, and it was very easy to complete.

They stayed in Feiju Village for another month, how did You Fang's skills improve, and she knew most clearly from Yinghua, although it was only a short time, but she could be sure of one thing, if You Fang stood on the altar of Songhe Valley at this time and launched the Heavenly Machine Great Array, there would be no embarrassment when he almost couldn't get off the stage, every time he thought of that scene, Xiang Yinghua always inadvertently had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

When ordinary people practice the secret method, it is very taboo to have a fellow Taoist to spy on the details, but You Fang is very calm in front of Xiang Yinghua, and he does not deliberately hide and hide, on the one hand, he knows the details best to Xiang Yinghua, on the other hand, he does not have to worry that she will steal learning, sneak attack or inadvertently disturb, there is such a master sitting in the valley, You Fang is much more relieved.

With You Fang's previous skills, he could collect and refine most of the netherworld soil with all his might at a time, and then he needed to rest for about a week, but at his current pace, he only collected about one-third of the money at a time. After a month, you have a feeling that if you do your best, you can collect nearly a dollar at a time. The reason why the improvement is so obvious is not only because of the increase in skill, but also because the skill is more subtle and the control is more subtle, and the unnecessary consumption is less.

"Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets", for 30 days in January, the tour party collected a total of about one or two netherworld soils. That's not right, collect it twelve times a month, about one-third of the money each time, and add up to less than half a tael? There is no other reason, so naturally he helped Yinghua, a master.

Xiang Yinghua took the initiative to help, You Fang untied the sword spike, and carried the glass beads to collect the netherworld soil at night, she saw it in her eyes, when You Fang wanted to recuperate and practice, she came to borrow the glass beads, and the weight sank a little after each return.

For Xiang Yinghua, the secret method of cultivation has reached this point, and it is very difficult to refine it further, she is very grateful to You Fang for teaching the mysteries of the netherworld soil without concealment, and bringing her to this place where there is a lot of netherworld soil, which is also a good way to refine divine thoughts.

For Xiang Yinghua's gratitude, You Fang did not refuse, and the netherworld soil is not his family, he can use this to refine his divine sense, and Xiang Yinghua can also refine his divine thoughts with this. Besides, Liu Li didn't say that he couldn't find someone to help, so why not ask his brother-in-law for help when looking for the netherworld? Collecting and condensing netherworld soil can also be helped, which is his ability.

Another important reason is that the illegal excavation here has been going on for more than three years, and the soil layer in many places has long been dug through, and the yin qi that has been sealed for thousands of years has been dissipated. The netherworld soil that naturally condenses pure yin qi cannot exist permanently, and it will generally escape in the earthly qi after a few years, and the netherworld soil in some places needs to be collected quickly and refined with divine consciousness.

With the power of You Fang alone, it is too late anyway, and it is estimated that at least half of them will not be collected by him, but fortunately Xiang Yinghua is here. Netherworld soil is a rare good thing, and it is very useful in secret methods, for example, with it, it can completely replace the power of the Yin Gathering Array. You Fang has never had the habit of wasting money, except for the misunderstanding of throwing a lot of money at spars.

In addition to helping You Fang collect, Xiang Yinghua also collected some by herself, about two coins, which were condensed in the cold cloud crystal that You Fang gave her, and there was not a trace of it from the appearance.

A month later, although there was not much netherworld soil left in the valley that could be collected, there was still a little, and the wandering party, who had always adhered to the principle of not wasting it, suddenly decided to leave. As for the reason, I'm afraid no one knows, because Xie Xiaoxian actually found it!

……

One morning, two police cars came to Feiju Village, and the newly appointed director, Chang Shuxin, accompanied a beautiful and upright female police officer, accompanied by several policemen. They made a short stop in the village, visited several homes, and then headed straight to the archaeological site in the valley behind the village.

Xie Xiaoxian's professional vigilance is still very high, and when she passed by the guest house, she saw an Audi Q7 luxury off-road vehicle parked there, which was particularly dazzling in such a mountain village, which immediately aroused her serious concern, and specially asked Chang Shuxin whose car was it? Chang Shuxin explained that this car is an archaeological team member, who has a superior family background but loves archaeology.

Xie Xiaoxian still felt that there was a problem and asked to meet the archaeological team member and ask a few words.

How did she get here? It's not entirely a coincidence, she is participating in the investigation of a nationwide cultural relics theft and smuggling gang. Feiju Village has been reselling ancient cultural relics for more than three years, and even the wild fox has been here as an antique dealer, but you don't know it.

According to Yi San's confession, the task force also found out that Chenzhou was coming. Coincidentally, at this time, the large-scale tomb robbery case in Feiju Village was finally poked out, and Xie Xiaoxian, a member of the task force who was on a business trip in Hunan to cooperate with the local police to handle the case, rushed to Chuyang Township with photos of the wild fox and the backbone members of the gang, so that the villagers who had been arrested for tomb robbing could identify them, and they really recognized several of them.

Xie Xiaoxian then rushed to Feiju Village to do an on-site investigation in order to find more clues. It used to be a gathering place for antiquities dealers from all over the country to buy illegally excavated cultural relics, and many antique dealers were wealthy bosses, such as Li Qiuping. The appearance of such a luxury car in such a remote mountain village is likely to have something to do with cultural relics dealers, how can ordinary archaeological team members afford it? I can't even open it! It is normal for Xie Xiaoxian to be suspicious.

……

When it was almost noon, You Fang and You Chengyuan were in a tomb that had dug up the surface soil, carefully cleaning up a freshly unearthed bronze fragment with a brush, when they suddenly heard Chang Shuxin's voice above the pit saying: "Miss Xiang, this Director Xie from Guangzhou wants to ask you a few words, is it convenient now?" ”

Chi Mu Duo's voice said, "What are you looking for Yinghua to ask? ”

Immediately followed by a woman's voice: "It's nothing, I'm here to learn about the recent theft and excavation of cultural relics here." …… Miss Xiang, I heard that you joined the archaeological team temporarily, and the Audi Q7 in the village is yours, right? …… Can you understand a little simple situation, it won't take you long, please go and sit in the tent over there. ”

Xiang Yinghua followed the police, and You Chengyuan said: "Chengcheng, what are you doing?" I don't know what's going on, so go over and take a look. ”

Of course, You Fang was stunned, how could he not hear Xie Xiaoxian's voice? The earth is so small, she can catch it even if she hides in such a remote place! Fortunately, I was in the ancient tomb, and I didn't bump into it just now, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

Hearing his sister's words, You Fang immediately shook his head and said: "What's so beautiful, didn't you hear, it's because of that car, a temporary worker who earns eighty yuan a day can't afford to drive, and when he appears in this place, it's normal for the police to be suspicious, and it's okay to ask clearly." ”

You Chengyuan slapped him: "Chengcheng, how rich is Yinghua's family?" You shouldn't be interested in family property to get involved with others, right? I'm embarrassed to ask her about this, but you don't say it. ”

You Fang was dissatisfied: "Sister, I've explained several times, I didn't have a relationship with her." ”

You Chengyuan: "You kid have a hard mouth!" What is there to hide, this girl is a good person, are you afraid of the opposition of her family? Yes, it's almost lunch, so let's take a break today, and I'll go up and see how it's going. ”

You Fang: "I'll go up too, don't wait for me to have lunch, I'll go to the mountains to catch a rabbit and give everyone a tooth sacrifice at night." He climbed out of the tomb in three steps and two steps, turned and went up the hill, running faster than a rabbit.

……

Xie Xiaoxian asked, and Xiang Yinghua could answer whatever he wanted, there was nothing bad to explain. Songhe Valley is a secret inheritance faction, but it is not hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, Xiang Yinghua himself also owns the shares of Jiangxi Songhe Mining Group, and his family is engaged in non-ferrous metal trading, and is also engaged in tourism and real estate development.

As for joining the archaeological team, out of hobby, Director Chi is also quite rich, isn't it because of his hobby that he is engaged in this work? Xie Xiaoxian asked a few words, recorded Xiang Yinghua's identity information, and then said that she didn't mean anything else, sorry for disturbing her work, and then went to another place with Chang Shuxin.

Of course, Xie Xiaoxian did not live in the village, and went back to the village that afternoon, but said that he might come again, and some details related to the case still need to be further verified. Chi Muduo was very interested in Xie Xiaoxian's arrival, and specially talked to her about the recovery of scattered cultural relics, and after understanding her intentions, he also inquired about the progress of the work of the task force, which delayed Director Xie for a lot of time.

Xie Xiaoxian left, but You Fang never showed up, and did not come down from the mountain until dinner, this afternoon the cat was not less busy in the deep mountains and old forests, not only caught a rabbit, but also beat two pheasants, and carried a big snake - ready to make snake soup at night to improve everyone's food.

I didn't go back to the village for dinner, so I cooked and ate at the archaeological site to enjoy the fun of picnic cooking. With the game played by You Fang and You Chengyuan's craftsmanship, everyone ate very fragrant and happy, and no one accused You Fang of being absent from work for no reason. At the height of his eating, You Fang suddenly told Chi Mu Duo that he was leaving and that he would have to leave here tomorrow.

The excuse is very simple, I heard that a large-scale ancient Chu tomb group was found here, and I followed You Chengyuan to open my eyes, but I didn't expect so many things to happen later, and the delay was not short, I had already made an appointment with someone to have something to do in Guangzhou, and now it's time to go back.

Chi Mu Duo didn't keep him much, knowing that the purpose of his coming was to find the netherworld soil, and he didn't know what ghost way to use to take away all the netherworld soil in the mountains these days, so he didn't have to stay in the archaeological team. This time, fortunately, You Fang came, otherwise the situation would be unimaginable, how could there be today's major archaeological discoveries?

As for Xiang Yinghua, it is not surprising that when he was in Songhe Valley, he listened to You Fang's appointment with Zhang Liubing and Zhang Liuhua brothers, and visited Guangzhou after more than a month. You Fang wants to leave, Xiang Yinghua also wants to leave, and said: "Xu Kai, I happen to be going to Guangzhou to do business, so I'll send you by the way." ”

This surprised You Fang, why did this Miss Xiang still follow her, and couldn't it be that Mr. Rand abducted the Moon Shadow Fairy and ran away from home? But it was not good to ask anything in public, so I had to politely refuse: "I'll just go by myself, how can I let you send it?" ”

Xiang Yinghua said: "Aren't you going to Guangzhou to find Mr. Zhang, I happen to want to visit, just go by the way, and I want to ask you for a favor, can you help me drive?" You're going to have to take the car anyway. ”

Before You Fang could answer, You Chengyuan had already said: "Xu Kai, you and Yinghua go to Guangzhou together, take more care of them on the way!" With such a long road, you can't let the girl's family drive alone, right? ”
