Qi Hui has studied with Chu Zhi since he was a child, and it has been nearly ten years; But what is very strange is that his great elder of the Little Silk Sect did not let Qi Hui also join the theft organization called 'Hundred Birds'. Of course, Qi Hui, as his closed disciple, first of all, has absolutely no problems in terms of stealing technology. So I'm afraid that the real reason has also become a puzzle with no standard answer with Chu Zhi's death.

If the top treasure connoisseurs on this continent are all locked up in one room, then at least two-thirds of the people in that room are the so-called 'lower ninth rate' who eat Jianghu rice. Because the shopkeeper or master who takes the eye for others, if he hits the eye, at most he will lose money or lose people; But once those 'lower ninth-rate' eyes are hit, it will be a major event that will kill people!

Whether it is the threat of life or the pressure of survival, it can make people passively move forward! And most of the people in the rivers and lakes who have been blinded have now become lonely ghosts, and there is no chance to 'turn over a new leaf'...... It can be seen that if you want to eat a bite of Jianghu rice, you may not have to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Now that there is such a top 'treasure expert' as Qi Yan here, Shen Gui will certainly not let go of this good opportunity! He carefully took out the delicate wooden box and pushed it in front of Qi Hui; And the pair of ears that were originally placed in this wooden box had long been left by him in the corner of the Anping Palace; Now in the wooden box is the 'coffin nail' worth five million taels of silver!

In fact, according to the rules of the antique industry, as long as the natural light is not enough, no one dares to receive the goods, let alone help people to appreciate the treasures! But after all, his relationship with Shen Gui is not ordinary, and he is used to 'appreciating treasures' in a dark environment, so he saves the trouble of waiting for dawn.

Qi Hui stretched out his right hand slightly, and first brightened the oil lamp on the table for a few points; Then, after carefully observing it for a long time by the polarized light of the lamp, he carefully put it back into the wooden box, and then let out a sigh......

"The three-inch town dragon nail is undoubtedly genuine! And according to my observation, this one should be the fourth of them, called 'Tianquan'. ”

"Heavenly power...... Are you talking about the 'Heavenly Power Star' among the seven stars of the Big Dipper? ”

After Qi Hui listened, he turned his head to look at the dark night sky outside the window and nodded lightly.

In the concept of Xuanmen Kanyu Shushu, the seven stars of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang are named 'Beidou' because they look like a bucket spoon for taking wine together. The first four stars are kui, that is, the body of the 'spoon', and the last three stars are the dipper, which agrees with the spoon, which is the so-called 'spoon handle'.

And these seven stars also symbolize the sky, earth, people, time, sound, law, and stars; And the 'coffin nail' in Shen Gui's hand today is a symbol of the fourth celestial star, which is equivalent to the 'fortune'.

"Wait a minute! I've heard Zhou Changan say that there are nine in one set of these 'three-inch dragon nails', and according to your 'Big Dipper', it should also be a set of seven! There are two nails that you can't reconcile with each other, who should I listen to? ”

Although Shen Gui has no talent for digital accounts, even if 'mathematics' is bad, he is such a big person, he can calculate the difference between nine and seven with his fingers!

"Of course Beidou is Beidou, but you also have to count the two 'hidden stars' of 'Insight Ming' and 'Hidden Yuan'. As the so-called 'seven appearances and two hidden', haven't you heard of it? Of course, it is also true to call these two hidden stars the left and the right. This Big Dipper is also known as the 'Nine Emperor Society' in the land of Nankang, and every year during the nine days from the first day of the ninth month of September to the ninth day of the first month, a very grand festival celebration will be held! ”

Shen Gui looked at this little brother who he hadn't seen for many years in a daze, and secretly sighed in his heart: It's really not seen for a day, like every three autumns! I didn't expect Qi Yan, who had a headache when he saw books when he was a child, but now he actually talks about the mysteries of astrology, and he can also say that his head is the Tao! How many girls from good families have to be deceived to practice today's proficiency level of 'open your mouth'!

“…… Okay, okay, I don't understand these things you said, and I'm not interested, whatever you like to call it, I listen to you Young Master Qi! But now I have a very serious question, and I hope you can come up with a 'reasonable' explanation for me. ”

"Huh?"

"You're just a thief who picks locks through doors, are you planning to develop a 'second career' by learning these foolish things?"

"I said, brother, have you ever heard of the 'grave robbers'? ……”

"I've heard it so much! …… Then when you go down to the tomb, will you also put a lamp in it? ”

"We release pigeons......"

“……”

In fact, just as Qi Yan said, although the people who rely on the word 'stealing' to eat on the rivers and lakes are collectively called 'Xiaoyimen', if they are carefully distinguished, they are also divided into many unrelated 'branches'; the nature of work is varied, and the technical skills are also strange. For example, the 'touch purse' that specializes in stealing silver bags, the 'bright cover (also called the bag adjustment) that specializes in exchanging fake for real, and the 'flip board' that specializes in stealing people's personal belongings, etc., etc., according to different work methods and different crime locations, each has a special training method.

Among them is a kind of thief, called 'smelly'! As the name suggests, what they do is digging graves and turning over corpses. Due to the very special nature of their work, this kind of 'thief' also violates the social atmosphere of 'respecting ancestors', so their status in the small locks is also very low......

But these people are the richest of all thieves! They also dress up as wealthy businessmen and gentry on weekdays, and they also go in and out of first-class restaurants and green buildings; And because all of their practitioners are literate and hyphenated, they even have extremely profound attainments in some rare ancient scripts; So if you look at it from the outside, you can't see any clues at all.

Of course, literacy and reading through the scriptures and history are not because they are diligent and studious, but just a work need.

For Chu Zhi, the last generation of the head of the Xiaoqi Gate, although he was only a snitch who walked on the wall; But there are no 'technical barriers' to him about the stargazing techniques that those 'smelly' tomb robbers are good at, and since the master knows it, then the disciple will naturally do it too, so it is not surprising that Qi Yan is talking about stargazing now.

Shen Gui pulled the wooden box, stretched out his hand and pinched the Tianquan Star 'coffin nail' that represented 'fortune'......

And Qi Yan saw his frowning brows, and naturally knew what he was thinking......

"Haven't you been a 'ghost' since you were a child? So this thing is just a gilded copper nail to you, and it doesn't make you feel so uncomfortable? Of course, if you don't like it, look at it from a different perspective. Because there is another name for this celestial pivot star, which is called Wenqu! ”

“…… If I look at it from this point of view, then my idea of participating in the imperial examination of the Northern Yan Dynasty should be dispelled in advance. In addition, let me tell you Qi Yan, feudal superstition is feudal superstition, and bad luck is bad luck, and they do not conflict with each other. Even if I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I feel like I'm sorry! ”

Just when Shen Gui felt that his study path might have been cursed by a 'Wenqu Star Coffin Nail', Guan Beidou, the national teacher of Beiyan, who was sleeping in the 'dormitory' of Qin Tianjian, suddenly sat up straight, then tilted his head on the edge of the bed, and spit out black blood all over the ground with a 'wow'!

Qiao Muqiu, the little apprentice who lived in the wing, was also awakened by the strange noise in the master's room at this time! The nurse was so anxious that he didn't even bother to put on the collapsed shoes, and ran directly to the master's room with a pair of bare feet......

"Master, master, how uncomfortable are you, why do you vomit blood in a good manner! Ay? You blood...... How is this blood black? Do you have a recurrence of an old injury? ”

Guan Beidou rubbed the remaining blood on his lips on his sleeve, lay back on the collapse as soft as mud, and waved his arm weakly towards the apprentice:

"Out of the way! According to the speculation of the teacher, it should be the Longyuan Great Array in Sanqin Chang'an City, which has just been broken..."

If you guess according to Guan Beidou's statement at this time, I am afraid that the legendary 'Nine Dragon Pangong Feng Shui Array' in Sanqin Chang'an City, that is, the land of the dragon veins of the Huayu Continent, should really exist! The so-called dragon abyss, which is also the meaning of the dragon's lair.

However, if you really take the story of 'feudal superstition' seriously, then the dragon vein formed by the convergence of nine true dragons, after the split of the previous dynasty Dayan, the last true dragon also returned to the sky by the wind, and what was left in Chang'an City was only nine empty dragon dens.

When the dragon's lair is inhabited by a real dragon, it is a first-class feng shui treasure; It can not only bless the local wind and rain, but also bless the country and the people who are in charge of the dynasty; But if the true dragon returns to the sky, then this feng shui dragon vein will become a first-class fierce and dangerous place...... Legend has it that the Yu River, which bursts every year, was originally the five-clawed golden dragon in ancient times, and the 'river view house' left in the world.

When the Northern Yan Dynasty moved its capital that year, in order to prevent Chang'an City from being invaded by the 'Longyuan Fierce' left behind, Guan Beidou, the third-generation chief disciple of the Xuanyue Dao Palace, used his earth spirit vein essence blood called 'Wuwei Dao Heart' as a guide to set up a Longyuan Great Array, hoping that with the power of the earth spirit vein and the magic power of the Tianyan Number Technique, he could suppress the fierce power of the Nine Dragons......

But tonight, I also knew what happened in Chang'an City, and Guan Beidou, who was still asleep, suddenly felt distraught, and then spewed out the mouthful of 'Earth Spirit Vein Essence Blood' that was mobilized when the formation was deployed......

As soon as the big array broke, Sanqin was shaken!

After a while, Guan Beidou, who had recovered a little, didn't have time to think about it, and with the support of his apprentice, he walked out of the door and walked slowly in the direction of the stargazing platform......
