You Fang held the compass in his left hand and Qin Yu in his right hand, and the cat entered the hole with his head down, and his heart was also furious. Originally, there was nothing to be afraid of, but Liu Li used the magic trick of turning and entangling people, which made people very crazy below, and said something like that, which made him feel very bottomless.

There are three situations for the so-called bold people in the world: first, the ignorant are fearless, and they dare to break through if they are reckless; the second is the desire for profit, forgetting so and taking risks; The third is to know in their hearts, and they are very clear about what will happen, so they are not afraid, but no one dares to say that they have everything in their hands, and they are only limited to certain occasions.

None of these three kinds of people are you, at least at this time, they don't know the bottom of their hearts. The little wanderer has never acted unscrupulously, otherwise he would not be so slippery, not a senseless adventure, but he is not afraid of things, and he will rise to the occasion when he has nothing to do, "bold" and "brave" have always been two concepts.

The evil qi that gathered from all sides and the yin qi from the depths of the earth rushed to his face, and You Fang instead put Qin Yu away, spreading his divine sense and spreading around, but he didn't touch any breath as much as possible. Qin Yu is too "dazzling" in this kind of place, and he can't scare the "ghosts" away, if the purpose is to investigate, it's better not to disturb the surroundings.

After mastering the divine sense, theoretically, it is completely possible to check the earth qi without a compass, but with the help of the old plate with a particularly strong spiritual surname as the spiritual guide, the induction can be more direct and acute, and the scope is also larger, it is also a magic weapon, even Liu Li likes to use it.

As soon as you enter the thief hole, the divine sense induction integrated with the compass is a sink, which seems to have the feeling of being engulfed and buried, which is the "sinking needle" in the eight laws of the strange needle, and then the magnetic needle in the compass Tianchi is picked up again, and the divine sense induction is pushed outward by an invisible force, becoming a "floating needle". Further along, the magnetic needle fluctuates, which is a typical "needle throwing". (Note: For the Eight Methods of Odd Needles, see Chapter 1 of the opening chapter of this book.) ）

This subtle change is not visible to ordinary people at all, because when the human hand holds the compass forward, the magnetic needle itself will tremble, and it is difficult to tell why, unless it is quite an experienced expert. And the more well-preserved the old plate, the more sensitive it will be to the sense of tremors other than itself. You Fang didn't look down at the magnetic needle at all, and his divine sense was inductive, which was no different from his own hand.

The thief cave descended to a depth of more than ten meters, the slope slowed down and extended forward, and the tunnel pulled wires and lit energy-saving lamps, and You Fang even put away the compass, because the end can be seen at a glance here, and the induction of divine consciousness is very clear with the eight methods of strange needles, and there is nothing surprising to insiders.

The master was deliberately scaring him, not to test his courage, but to test his concentration—can his state of mind be ethereal and not disturbed by various factors? Here, it felt very similar to the underground corridor of the Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum, and You Fang smiled, because he had already reached the end of the robbery cave, and knew what the old man wanted him to come down to look for?

This tunnel is more of a tunnel than an ordinary robbery, because people can stand up straight, and it seems that the tomb robbers are not just trying to make a deal, but plan to use it as a secret basis to extend in all directions and excavate as many ancient tombs as possible. What a lack of greed! Usually tomb robbers pay attention to fast in and out, leave when they succeed, and then find a place where they are full of vitality and yang energy to recuperate, no one will set up camp underground, which has nothing to do with the size of the guts, and the following is indeed not a living environment.

After secretly doing this kind of work underground for a long time, and they don't dare to see the light to let people know, over time, without Liu Li using any tricks to turn around their bodies, their own mental and physical problems will definitely occur. Rheumatoid diseases are still mild, not to mention mental abnormalities, hepatobiliary lesions and cardiovascular system problems are very likely to occur.

You Fang sighed and shook his head while squatting down, there was a hoe at the end of the robbery hole, seeing that the situation had been set, he wanted to dig straight down, and steal the ancient tomb below in the way of uncovering the top. You Fang once sensed with his divine sense that the tomb robber's hoe seemed to have dug through a mysterious unknown world, and at the scene, it turned out that the underground green paste mud layer had been dug up, and he saw the netherworld soil for the first time.

The netherworld soil is not "soil", it is a layer of earth qi boundary condensed on the inner surface of the green gypsum mud layer that has sealed the yin qi for thousands of years, as if yin and yang are separated. After being dug through, the divine consciousness sensed the ancient aura that had been sleeping underground for many years, and it seemed that a smart yin qi was thrown. You Fang drew his sword, carefully picked up a whole layer of soil, and held it in his hand to study it carefully.

Can't collect this thing? It seems to be attached to the black film of the soil, almost no thickness, and even the green plaster mud is scraped off with a light sword, no matter how light the technique is. If you take it away with a layer of soil, it is Yin soil, not the netherworld soil that Master said, and the pure Yin Qi is mixed and dissipated, and once the environment changes, it cannot be retained for a long time. - Master, this is testing your own means!

Thinking of this, You Fang put down the soil, stood up, and looked back at the secluded tunnel. Let's solve another thing first, the sense in the divine consciousness is very clear, and it is as if the invisible eyes are looking at him, this is not an illusion! After settling the mind, the induction is still very direct, that is, there is really a problem.

He took a few steps back, and through the soil layer on the left side of the cave wall, his divine sense sensed that something special was condensed in a small area about a foot deep. He swung his sword into the wall of the cave and made a circle, pulled out a small hole, reached out and pulled out a complete green brick from the soil, and then found something underneath.

This is a walnut-sized bead, which at first glance looks like the color and ornamentation of blue and white porcelain, but You Fang knows that the soil layer here is also at least 2,300 years ago, and it is impossible to unearth blue and white porcelain. But this object is not jade, and if you look closely under the light, it is a translucent texture, and the blue decoration on the surface seeps into the porcelain-white interior like a flow.

It is a glass bead, the ornament is the style of "dragonfly eye" in the Chu country during the Warring States Period, the color is bright as if it has just been fired, there is such a superb glazed craft two thousand three hundred years ago, it is breathtaking, I can't believe it if I don't see it with my own eyes. This bead is hollow and should be blown with small holes at both ends to wear bead accessories.

This dragonfly eye glass bead is so well preserved, like the eyes that have just been opened in a big dream, looking curiously at the You Fang more than 2,000 years later. After the glazed ware is unearthed, it will not corrode and decompose as quickly as wood, similar to ceramics and jade, and there is also a process of tempering and returning to yang, but the color will gradually become dull and the texture will become turbid, although it is very slow but irreversible, and if the utensils have a spiritual surname, they will gradually be lost.

You Fang looked at this glass bead, smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It turned out that you scared me, but fortunately it fell into my hands, if you want to see the sky again and be able to live without losing your spiritual surname, it really takes a lot of effort." ”

He stood in place, holding beads in his left hand and waving a short sword in his right hand, and a gust of yin wind dispersed, and a person appeared in the thief cave. Damn, hell with that! But You Fang was not frightened, because he was very familiar with this "ghost", with a slender figure, wearing a long skirt like a layer of sword light, and exuding a charming atmosphere in his surname, it was Qin Yu who he saw in his heart.

The spiritual surname of this glass bead is really very special, and using it as a spiritual guide to operate the divine consciousness can stimulate the mind to see. In other words, ordinary people wearing this bead are easy to "see ghosts", and when they are suspicious of ghosts, they may really see ghosts, and the folk saying is called opening yin eyes. The antiquities unearthed underground are sometimes very evil and cannot be accessorized casually, unless they are people who understand like Youfang.

Qin Yu has never been as real as today, she is simply a person standing in front of her, but she lacks smart popularity in her senses, but there is also a look of curiosity in her eyes.

"What, you like it? Then I'll give it to you. You Fang handed over the glass beads.

Qin Yu lowered his head, revealing a slightly shy smile, and reached out to take the glass beads. This is the first time You Fang has seen her smile, and it is also the first time that she has taken the initiative to communicate with people other than practicing swords. The ancient sword Qin Yu itself naturally can't laugh or move, all of this is the spiritual surname that You Fang gave to "her" when raising the sword, and it is a strange presentation in the state of mind, and it is also a new feeling after learning the "refining realm" mental method.

In the past, You Fang could theoretically do this, but as soon as he moved, he was an illusion of the Demon Realm, and only after refining his state of mind into an ethereal spirit could he truly communicate intuitively with Qin Yu's spirit surname. Last night's master's guidance, with the help of this glass bead at this time, You Fang found an ethereal state of mind outside the fixed seat, and in the gloomy underground cave, he forgot his fear, and talked to the sword spirit with a smile.

If someone else saw this scene, it is estimated that their hairs would stand on end, only to see a smiling guy standing in the underground thief cave full of gloomy atmosphere, and I don't know who he is smiling at? There was a glass bead not far in front of him, which was strangely suspended in mid-air! It's not that a ghost really stretched out his hand to hold this bead, but that You Fang's divine sense is in control - this is a secret method that consumes a lot of divine energy, not everything can be played like this, and ordinary masters never play like this.

That is, with a smile, You Fang immediately stretched out his hand to take back the glass beads, and did not continue to launch the secret method of "transforming the realm and contemplating it", and there was still serious things to do.

He returned to the end of the thief hole, lifted a layer of green paste mud to reveal the netherworld soil, and then shook the glass beads in his hand, and a strange scene appeared, the extremely thin layer of membranous black on the surface of the green paste mud layer turned into mist and floated towards the glass beads, which were included in the hollow beads. You Fang picked up the hoe with his other hand and uncovered all the green plaster mud at the end of the thief hole, and all the netherworld soil was put into the glass beads.

Netherworld soil cannot be collected by conventional methods, it can only be stripped of pure yin qi by the method of operating earth qi, and then condensed in special utensils by refining tools, which is how Liu Li made the piece of silk cloth he gave him. You Fang happened to have a glass bead in his hand, and at the same time, he could use the pure Yin Thing surname to temporarily protect his spiritual surname.

He just said that he wanted to give the glass beads to Qin Yu, of course, it was not a joke, and he couldn't joke and deceive "people" in the ethereal state of mind, and when this thing kept the spirit surname without losing the ability to see the sky again, it could be decorated on Qin Yu's sword spike, which could add Qin Yu's spirit surname, make her mental image more clear and vivid, and also add a smart response to the external induction, which is an excellent "gift".

At the end of the cave, the range that can be dug into the netherworld soil is only one meter square, and the following through the rammed earth layer should be the ancient tomb, and you can have no interest in robbing the tomb, so he put down the hoe and turned away. He checked the glass beads, and secretly scolded the master in his heart for being too treacherous, and even asked him to collect three taels of netherworld soil!

At the time, I thought it was quite little, but now I know that this kind of thing can only be collected after refining with divine consciousness, and the more netherworld soil this glass bead collects, the heavier it will become. If one day it weighs three taels out of thin air, not to mention how much work it takes, even if the entire South Tower Park is opened, I am afraid it will be enough to choke! This is still a situation where the outer layer of each ancient tomb below has the existence of netherworld soil, how is it possible?

Alas, Master Zhong's plan is over! I thought that collecting three taels of netherworld soil was the easiest, but now it seems that it is probably the most difficult task to complete. Even if you know that there is one under Nanta Park, it is impossible for you to dig here, and you have to find another opportunity.

Liu Li watched the apprentice come out of the thief hole, and asked with a smile: "What have you gained, have you caught the ghost?" ”

You Fang: "I have harvested, and I have also seen the netherworld soil." But Master, your old man is too yin, aren't you? It's even more yin than the earth! How can you get together three or two? ”

Liu Li held back a wicked smile: "This kind of thing requires chance, and chance requires enough experience accumulation, and the mountains and rivers in the world may have netherworld soil, and it is not just an ancient tomb." If you don't get it right, you'll be able to meet it in the future, and you can collect it right at once. ”

You Fang asked rhetorically: "Thank you Lao Jiyan, if there really is such a place, I will have to exhaust my divine qi once I refine it into half a coin netherworld soil, and it will take ten days and a half to recover." Not to mention how hard it is to find, how much can you collect at a time? ”

Liu Li thought for a while: "If there is really that kind of place, it will be half a tael at a time." Speaking of which, you still lack skills and experience, you have to continue to practice, and the disciple doesn't have to be inferior to the teacher! …… Don't talk about this, in addition to seeing the netherworld soil, what you have gained below is this worthless brick, do you want to take it back to make inkstones? ”

You Fang is really a good boy who doesn't waste anything, and when he went down, he not only picked up the glass beads, but also moved the ancient brick more than 2,000 years ago. This brick is almost twice the size of the common modern slab bricks, and the iron-blue texture is significantly heavier and denser than modern bricks.

He held the brick and said: "The disciple now looks at the utensils, can not be measured by the value of the antique market, this brick has been sealed for more than 2,000 years after firing, the surname of the object is pure, condensing the ancient earth. I use the method of divine consciousness refining to help it return to the sun, but the atmosphere in the town house can be used as an iron lion for the time being, and it can be used as a base for placing an iron lion in the future. In the future, it may also be helpful to practice the heart plate. ”

Speaking of which, there is an interesting question: what is the most common and most used pottery since ancient times? The answer is bricks. No one may treat bricks as pottery, but its firing process also has to go through a series of standard pottery making processes such as soil mining, material washing, molding, embryo beating, kiln, firing and shaping, but it was simplified later when it was applied on a large scale among the people.

There is an ancient saying called "Qin bricks and Han tiles", in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, "bricks" are not something that ordinary people can afford, and civilian buildings are mostly built with wood, stone, and soil embryos. Royal and aristocratic buildings use "bricks" on a large scale, and the craftsmanship and cost are beyond the imagination of modern people. Its raw material is a "clear mud" with extremely fine particles, extremely uniform, and no impurities after bleaching, which is extremely labor-intensive, and the texture is uniform and dense after firing, and the quality is excellent.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the Qin bricks and Han tiles were the best materials for making inkstones, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the paving "gold bricks" for the royal palace were borrowed from the craftsmanship of the Qin bricks and Han tiles, and they were the most stringent of a kind of mud bricks. (Note: If you want to see the real gold bricks, go to the three major halls of the Forbidden City.) If you want to see the real Qin bricks, go to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, and the figurine pit is paved underneath. ）

And you Fang brought up from the ground is a piece of Zhan Chu ancient brick, no words and no lines in the antique market is worthless, even archaeologists generally do not pay special attention, but it is a first-class quality Nanling ancient Cheng mud firing, it is even more rare to have a pure surname, and the divine sense induction has the effect of gathering and condensing the earth's qi. - Good things, they can't be wasted, although they sink a little, let's take them away.

Liu Li said angrily and funny: "I told you to go down, I actually went to pick bricks, I want to find this kind of thing, there are so many outside." ”

You Fang shook his head and said: "Qin bricks and Han tiles are easy to find, and they can be bought for money in Panjiayuan, but I have never seen such a pure brick with such a surname and condensing the ancient earth's atmosphere." ”

Liu Li waved his hand: "If you don't feel too heavy, you can just carry it on your back, don't say that it was picked up in front of me, I can't afford to lose that person when it is passed out, as if I haven't seen something good!" …… What else do you have to learn from here? I just sensed it with my divine sense, and the side of the cave wall should be a little special. ”

"Master, look, it's this dragonfly-eyed glass bead, which I took out from under the bricks, and for some reason scattered in the soil." You Fang put down the brick, took out the glass beads and handed them over.

Liu Li sighed: "I don't know what happened more than 2,000 years ago, it looks like the ornaments of the ancients, good things, you really picked it up!" Knowing that using it as a tool to condense and collect netherworld soil, you finally didn't disappoint the teacher. ”

You Fang: "When have I ever let you down?" It's almost over here, let's go, call the police and arrest someone. ”

Liu Li sat down on the bed, and said: "You Chengfang, there is one last thing to explain, today is to demonstrate the magic of turning evil entanglement, I was supposed to wait until you become my official heir, but since I said it in advance, I have to teach you the precepts of the past generations of earth masters, otherwise I am afraid that you will get into trouble, and if you are not careful, you will harm yourself." …… Get on your knees! ”

Seeing Master's tone and expression, You Fang didn't dare to laugh anymore, knelt in front of the old man and said, "If you have anything to say, you old man can confess." ”

Liu Li was not in a hurry, but asked rhetorically: "Before you met me, you were an expert in feng shui, and I later learned that it was from the original Fengmen family of the Mo family, so let me ask you, do you know the five precepts of the earth master?" ”

You Fang nodded: "The disciple has known it since he was a child, and it has been said in many feng shui books. ”

Liu Li: "Let's listen to it, see if you remember it firmly?" ”

The so-called Five Precepts of the Earth Master, of course, are not specifically aimed at a geo-qi master like Liu Li, but the five taboos that have been engaged in geography by Feng Shui masters since ancient times. It is another matter whether or not the person who does this business obeys, but these sayings have been said since ancient times, and they have been mentioned in the Feng Shui classics of the past dynasties.
