"It's not early, get ready, rest early, we'll leave early tomorrow morning!" After saying this, the old clock put away his things and prepared to go back to sleep.

But as soon as he walked out a few steps, he heard Liu Ran suddenly ask, "Could the appearance of these sound insects be related to the place we are going?" ”

Lao Zhong's footsteps paused, he turned his back to us, suddenly laughed, and said calmly, "In ancient times, there were many dignitaries who would raise some tomb insects in their tombs after their deaths to guard the mausoleum and burial goods, but the place we are looking for should not be in the water!" ”

Although Lao Zhong said this, Liu Ran was also a little skeptical, and I had the same idea as her, but this was just an idea, and it didn't decide anything.

Maybe it's a reminder that we might encounter this bug, so I woke up early in the morning and had a few earplugs in case I needed them.

After a night's sleep, Chen Haidong also showed a lot of energy, and after getting up, we ordered something and called the person who decided to take us to the gimmick while eating.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, and the other party was surprised when he knew that it was us, saying that it didn't have to be so early, and that place should not go too early, especially now that it was too early, plus it was summer, and there was a lot of moisture, so it was easy to attract some troublesome bugs.

Lao Zhong didn't have time to grind with him, saying that they just wanted to go there as soon as possible, and that there was no need to worry about other places.

Seeing this, the other party smiled and responded twice, only saying that he would go over immediately, let's wait a while.

After hanging up the phone, Lao Zhong looked up and looked outside, the summer rain is abundant, so today is also a semi-cloudy day, and it looks like there will be a rain soon.

We left all our phones here, only a satellite phone, hoping to use it when we get there.

In the mountains, the magnetic field interferes with the mobile phone signal very much, so it is useless for us to take it, so it is better to put it here to avoid the burden.

After we finished breakfast, the guide that Lao Zhong was looking for, Dong Shuchen, drove over, he drove a pickup truck with a carport, and there were four positions in the front of the car, which could take people and put luggage in the back.

After we put the luggage away, Lao Zhong paid half of the money to Dong Shuchen, and the rest will be given when we get to the place.

After getting into the car, I found a small bag of things under the saddle, and when I asked Dong Shuchen, I learned that they were all insect repellent powder concocted by his family.

Now it's summer, and a lot of tide-loving bugs are washed out by the rain and spoil things at home, so the locals will prepare some insect repellent things.

"I said how do you pick this day to go to that place, and depending on the weather, it may rain heavily again today!" Dong Shuchen asked curiously while driving.

"What? Can't you pass it on a rainy day? I couldn't help but answer.

The other party smiled, "It's not impossible, it's just this time, there are too many insects underground, it's a low-lying area, and there is a lot of stagnant water. No matter where you go or what you do, you have to be careful, there are too many types of these insects to count, and no one can say whether they are poisonous or not. ”

"Don't worry, we're ready!" As I spoke, I pointed to the backpack in the back of the car, "We have the serum with us, so we won't be afraid of poisonous snakes." ”

Dong Shuchen glanced at me, smiled hehehe, and didn't say anything, as if he knew that we had made up our minds to go, and had no regrets.

The car was moving quickly along a road on the bank of a river, and outside the window, it was drizzling, and at a glance, the raindrops falling on the water covered us with a curtain of rain falling from the sky, separating the water from the land between speed and prohibition.

Not long after the car walked, the road left the river bank and turned onto the other side of the mountain road, on this rugged mountain road, we turned another corner, and walked along a winding mountain road for more than ten minutes, and the mountain behind us was thrown off by the marks of ruts.

After leaving the road, the car drove into the distance, where there was a low-lying plain, and only the winding and long path under the car connected the distance.

The road under the ruts grew muddy and muddy, and at last we stopped in front of a rock, and through the glass window, we saw a lot of stones piled up in a short distance.

The rocks were covered in rain and mud, and they looked like they had just been washed down the mountain by a mudslide.

Bypassing the rocks in front of us, we found that it was a valley, and the mountains on either side were like ruts left in the ground, deeply embedded in the valley.

And those muddy stones, which rolled down from the heights on both sides, blocked our way.

Delivered here, the driver Dong Shuchen couldn't continue, so he had to let us get off here, and told us that we had arrived at what we called the gimmick after passing through this valley.

There are no signs of gimmick land in the vicinity, and even the name of the place is only known to a small number of local people.

After getting out of the car, we put on our backpacks and saw Dong Shuchen slowly reverse the car, and left us some insect repellent powder on his car before leaving, hoping to help.

After paying, we started to walk on this muddy road with umbrellas and thick rain boots, and the people around me, because they have been engaged in outdoor work all year round, have no feeling for this bad weather, and the long hiking, but I feel a little unbearable, and I didn't walk for long, and I was out of breath to stop and rest.

Holding on to the stones, I beckoned everyone and looked up, and I saw that not far ahead, there were fewer large stones, and more small stones.

Looking to the left and right, and feeling the distance, it would be nice that we were now halfway up the valley.

On the stone walls to the left and right, there are several half-dead small trees, scattered gravel densely scattered between the steep slopes.

While observing the terrain, I mentally guessed the location of the four valleys, which were about half a kilometer long, and because of the rocky and rainy days, it was very difficult to walk.

Climbing up a large rock nearby, I looked into the valley and saw that the surrounding area was full of strange rocks, and when I saw the mouth of the valley, I saw a few crooked wild trees.

My gaze flickered here, and when I withdrew my gaze again, I found the four of them gathered together, fiddling with something.

I jumped down from the rock, walked over with my umbrella, and saw Dongfang holding a half-wood, half-metal object in his hand.

The main body of this thing is in the shape of a disc, and the edge of the circle is marked with 36 scales, like a clock that can walk for three days.

In the center of this wooden body, there is a metal iron drill, one end of which is pierced on the wood, and the other end is pointed, revealing the outside.

Along this drill, there are six more pointers in the center of the wood, which are held in place by a small ring and show us the direction by the change in the surrounding magnetic field.

Seeing this thing, I couldn't help but ask curiously, "How can this thing help us?" ”

At this time, Dongfang raised his head, this thing should have been brought by him, I heard Liu Ran mention Dongfang's family before, his family has been a carpenter master for generations, and the skills in his hands are also very special, specializing in miraculous skills to repair wood, and the thirteen woodcarving knives in his hands are even more rare in the world.

And his family's ability, has been passed down to the present Sanjiazi, and his family background was also prominent for a while, until the later mechanical science from the West, which can completely replace this backward wood industry, their family faded from people's field of vision.

The genealogy says that they are a branch of the public loss class, and the craftsmanship inherited from the family is also part of the book "Missing a Subject".

Until now, few of the orthodox Luban descendants can make their debut, let alone their branches.

The ancient wood-meaning techniques have been passed down to the present day, which can be regarded as semi-deserted, and Dongfang is currently the only one who has inherited all these crafts.

He actually has his own job, so he doesn't make a living by this craft, and even if he occasionally does it, he does it to help his relatives and friends do wood carving or simulation work.

This time, it was Liu Ran who asked him to come over to help, and he was ready to regain his ability that he had retained in the name of a hobby.

The thing he is holding now, called Kun Tiandou, is a rarity; It is used to sense magnetic field fluctuations, test the nearby geographical location, and use this to check the mountains and rivers, perform the art of public opinion, and find the burial place of ancient tombs that conform to the theory of feng shui nearby.

These six hands, the directions they point to, depict the Liuhe, that is, the high and low distances between heaven and earth, the long and short distances from east to west, and the longitudinal and horizontal distances from north to south.

Although the pointers are in a state of checks and balances, and the scales and gaps on Kun Tiandou are also in the same position, those pointers are not one.

The change of the six hands is not only according to the position, but also according to the direction of movement, because as the object itself moves, Kun Tiandou will more accurately measure the surrounding magnetic field reaction.

Here, Kun Tiandou in Dongfang's hand is very calm, only the pointers representing the two directions of heaven and earth are trembling slightly, and the pointers are one after the other.

In the valley, the other hands are held in place by a strong magnetic field, and the remaining two hands flutter only at a frequency of one tick.
