Chapter 402: The Assassin

Chencang, Wuzhangyuan Reservoir.

He Changqing and Wei Chiran had been investigating the place for three days, and in these three days, He Changqing was looking for the location where the Ding Jia pot was hidden, and at the same time teaching Wei Chiran the basic knowledge of finding the dragon and catching the pulse.

"Geographical feng shui originated from "Zhou Yi", in "Mao's poems", there are also records about this, and in ancient times, there were also signs of good luck and evil in the house with "The Book of Filial Piety", or according to the book "Zhou Li" to identify whether yin and yang are harmonized." He Changqing said as he walked, his eyes looking around, "In the past, the ancients started the doctrine of Feng Shui Kanyu, and later generations conducted detailed research. The five elements are shown as stars in the sky and terrain on the ground. ”

Wei Chiran followed behind, listening carefully, it was not the first time he had heard these basic knowledge, and He Changqing had been repeating and repeating for the past three days.

He Changqing looked into the distance: "The combination of yin and yang changes, generating the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the stars shown in the sky, and the terrain shown on the ground all come from the essence of the five elements." In the sky, it is manifested as the star of the year, the star of the glow, the star of the town, the star of the white and the star of the day. And on the ground? What is it? I've taught you, I've tested you. ”

Wei Chiran recalled: "On the ground, the top of the mountain is round and the foot of the mountain is wide, and it belongs to gold among the five elements; The top of the mountain is round, the mountain is straight, and it is wood; The top of the mountain is flat, the mountain is wavy and tortuous, and it belongs to water; The top of the mountain, the foot of the mountain is broad, and it is fire; The top of the mountain is flat, the mountain is square, and the five elements belong to the soil. ”

He Changqing smiled: "Yes, after the five elements of the heavens are decided, there will be mutual growth, mutual restraint, mutual control, and mutual transformation between them, so that there will be geography." However, the five elements of the terrain are only the approximate norms, and the mountains are ever-changing, which cannot be generalized, and can also be explained by Taoism's life two, two life and three, and three life and all things. ”

Wei Chi shook his head: "I have never understood the meaning of this life two. ”

He Changqing said: "I don't understand either, haha." ”

He Changqing stopped again and said: "Now I teach you this, if you start teaching from "Zhou Yi", it will be very troublesome and take a long time, and even I haven't thoroughly figured it out, it's far behind." Therefore, I will explain to you on the basis of "The Book of Water Dragons", the author of this book is Jiang Pingjie of the Qing Dynasty. Based on the number of techniques and the Bagua Book of Changes, this book discusses in detail the various methods of the Yin and Yang two houses to recognize the water and establish the bureau, and explains how the ancients chose the site for the Yang House and the Yin House. In the past, Feng Shui books focused on finding the dragon and exploring the acupoints, pointing points and standing directions, recognizing the good and evil of the sand, and only brought it over in essays, while the Water Dragon Sutra was dedicated to the shape of water, indicating that the water form has the difference between bending, reviewing, wrapping, oblique flying, straight rushing, rebounding and coming and going, and exploring the source from the aspects of regulating qi and stars, azimuth and drinking shape exhalation points. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Master, it's been three days, why haven't we found it yet?" ”

He Changqing looked around and said: "Look around, there are almost no mountains, and even if there are, they are just mountain slopes, otherwise why is it called Wuzhangyuan?" In addition, this place is a semi-yin place, just according to the technique of finding the dragon and catching the vein, even if you can find it, it does not mean that it is the place where the Ding Jia pot is hidden. You must know that there are still many ancient tombs in Shaanxi that have not been discovered. ”

Wei Chiran suddenly understood: "This is Xia Shibu's Ecstasy Array, deliberately choose an ancient tomb here, let the people of the Iron Clothes Gate enter without destroying the feng shui body and mechanism, and hide the Ding Jia pot in it, even if someone is not killed by the fox demon in the evil tower, find the clue, and find here, they will be confused by the ancient tombs and underground palaces everywhere, and it is not clear where the Ding Jia pot is hidden?" ”

He Changqing said: "That's right, there are too many people who will search for tombs in different ways, and this method alone cannot accurately find the place where the Ding Jia pot is hidden." ”

Wei Chiran walked towards the edge of the reservoir: "I think it's better to call Hou Zhenbang, he at least knows the specific location, Master, what if it is under the reservoir?" The last time I heard Xie Meng talk about her experience of going to find the water tomb, the process was too tortuous. ”

He Changqing didn't think so: "Hou Zhenbang definitely doesn't know the specific location. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Why?" ”

As soon as the two of them said this, a man who looked like a local farmer walked slowly towards them, holding a sheep in his hand.

He Changqing glanced at the peasant and replied: "Because even if he is a guardian, the secret hall will not easily reveal the specific location to him, the danger is too great, in case he is captured, there are a hundred ways for him to speak." ”

The peasant who was leading the sheep came up to them, looked up, and without stopping, continued to walk forward.

In the distance in the sorghum field, there were four men and women, all dressed as tourists and anglers, led by a man in his forties, dressed as a scholar, who was watching Wei Chiran and He Changqing in the distance through the cracks in the sorghum field.

When the farmer walked into the sorghum field, the scholar man stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Do you see it clearly? ”

There was no more honest expression on the farmer's face: "I can see clearly, it is indeed Wei Chiran, and the other one should be He Changqing, who has been missing for ten years and is rumored to have taken refuge in 517." ”

The scholar man looked up at the sky: "The sun is three poles, and it is not a good time to do it." ”

Someone next to him asked, "There is an order from above to complete the task within today." ”

The scholar man decided, "Do it in the evening and keep an eye on them first." As he spoke, the man nodded to the man dressed as a fisherman.

The fishing man turned to leave, and after a circle, he walked onto the machine plow road, and walked towards the edge of the reservoir with his fishing gear.

The scholar man motioned for the remaining three to disperse in the sorghum field, while pointing to a Bluetooth headset to instruct them to keep in touch.

The fishing man chose a place on the edge of the reservoir to set up a parasol, set up a fishing rod and sit down, but his eyes glanced at Wei Chiran and He Changqing in the distance.

At this time, Wei Chiran also realized that something was wrong, after all, he was a policeman: "Master, we are being targeted. ”

He Changqing looked around: "I don't know how many people they have and what weapons they have, but the only place where others can hide is in the sorghum field." ”

The reason why He Changqing can easily judge it comes from two points, first, although the appearance of the farmer who led the sheep before was impeccable, the moment he passed by He Changqing's side, He Changqing saw that the skin below the neck of his clothes was fair, which showed that the exposed skin was deliberately painted with the unique skin color of the peasants in northern Shaanxi.

Second, fishing is prohibited in the Gojohara Reservoir, and those who like fishing must be aware of this. But if this fisherman doesn't know this, he is a novice, and a novice will not be equipped with such a complete set of fishing gear. Also, when fishing in summer, you should choose a location with shade and aquatic plants, because fish like to gather in a location with aquatic plants, as the saying goes, "fishing without grass is equal to running in vain" is what it means.

In addition, he fishes and does not even make a nest.

The above two points made He Changqing realize that they had been targeted.

Wei Chiran asked in a low voice, "Master, who are these?" ”

He Changqing turned around: "It can't be the city god, the city god will not do it in the country because of 517, even if the iron coat gate has some scruples and doesn't want us to find it, it won't be so blatant, so there is only one possibility." ”

Wei Chi said: "Alone? ”

He Changqing nodded slightly: "That's right, Lonely." Their purpose is to kill us and then find the T-Armor Pot on their own. ”

Wei Chi thought of a key question: "Why did the lone soldier look for Ding Jia Pot?" Aren't they only interested in the treasures of other sects? The treasure of the Iron Cloak Gate has fallen into their hands. ”

Faced with this problem, He Changqing explained: "I think, this is why the Iron Cloth Gate sent Xia Shi to steal the Ding Jia pot and hide it under the protection of the imperial court, I am more and more interested in the Ding Jia pot, but before that, we have to find a way to get rid of those tails." ”

After that, He Changqing asked Wei Chiran with a smile: "Have you ever killed someone before?" ”

Wei Chiran didn't understand what He Changqing meant: "What do you mean?" ”

He Changqing asked again: "When you kill someone, do you hesitate?" Do you feel guilty after killing someone? Is it uncomfortable? Or is there no feeling at all? You have to tell the truth. ”

Wei Chi thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything, I don't have any burden, am I different from ordinary people?" ”

He Changqing just said, "You'll know what it's like tonight." ”

Wei Chiran didn't understand what He Changqing was talking about at all, and he didn't know his intentions.

Wei Chiran and He Changqing sat on the edge of the reservoir, reviewing the knowledge of feng shui and waiting for the evening to come. He Changqing looked very leisurely, did not make any preparations before the battle, just sat there and kept asking questions to test Wei Chiran.

Evening finally came, and at the moment when the sun slowly fell to the horizon, He Changqing got up and said, "Ready to start." ”

Wei Chiran also quickly got up, and subconsciously looked at the fisherman in the distance, who was still sitting there, barely moving for an afternoon, and the farmer was also herding sheep in the distance.

He Changqing took out a short sword from behind his waist: "This short sword for you, even if it is a meeting gift from the master to the apprentice." ”

The short sword was about 20 centimeters long, the scabbard was made of leather, and the hilt was also very ordinary.

He Changqing turned the sword sideways, and through the sunlight, he could see the fishbone-like lines on the sword.

Wei Chiran asked, "What is this?" ”

He Changqing said: "This is called a fishbone sword, although it is not as good as sharpening iron like clay, but it is easy to break through the skin and see blood." ”

Wei Chiran was about to thank him, but found that there were two words engraved on both sides of the sword, one "cut" and one "She".

Wei Chiran asked: "Why is there the word "separation" on it?" ”

He Changqing just said: "Soldiers, ominous weapons, have to be used as a last resort." ”

Wei Chi asked: "It means that although this weapon was originally used to kill people, the person holding the weapon himself is not willing to kill?" ”

He Changqing smiled and said, "Almost." ”

After that, He Changqing led Wei Chiran into the sorghum field, and at the moment when the two of them entered, the farmers and fishermen who were grazing sheep in the distance also immediately got up and walked towards the sorghum field.

And in the sorghum field, the scholar-like man ordered: "The target, He Changqing and Wei Chiran, will kill by any means." ”
