The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 18 Exploring the Sea and Watching the Southern Dragon (I)
The dense reefs around the coral spiral are like a natural barrier, when the tide falls to the lowest place, half of it will appear, and when the tide is born, it will be completely submerged underwater, blocking the way of treasure hunters, the big ship can not pass, and the small boat does not have a problem in the past, so the sea area behind the reef group is still mysterious and unknown in the eyes of the world. Uncle Ming and Ruan Hei can both recognize the hyacinth, and can make the "trident" jump over layer after layer of reefs with the help of the tide, but the needles between this reef group are lost, and the ocean current and wind direction are mixed and difficult to distinguish, and it is difficult to reach the sky if you have to travel several nautical miles in an unknown direction. It's like letting a good sprinter participate in the 100-meter sprint race blindfolded, even if he doesn't fall into the mud, at most he will circle around the same place, and he will never reach the finish line.
Therefore, everyone's hopes are all pinned on the mountain moving and dividing the armor left by the mountain movers, as long as there is a direction as a reference, you can cross the sea to collect eggs when the tide rises. Under the gaze of everyone, I saw Shirley Yang unhurriedly took out a few things, first opened the wooden box, and there was a glass bottle wrapped in red satin in the wooden box, the bottle body was transparent and transparent, as thin as cicada wings. The bottle was soaked in water with a pill, which was clear and dazzling, only the size of a small fingernail. Uncle Ming and the others didn't know what it was, and they felt a little confused.
Shirley Yang took out another pitch-black crockpot with several small fish in it. The small fish is only one finger long, its head is huge, its whole body is red, it looks strange, and it swims happily in the crockpot. She carefully fished out a small fish and placed it in a bottle, then placed the bottle in a box and fastened it with soft satin. The little fish circled around the pill in the bottle a few times, and then began to arch it to the side, no matter how the water in the bottle shook, the little fish would try its best to push the pill in a fixed direction.
Everyone looked at it and wanted to ask what kind of name this is? I explained to them: "This is the Si Tian fish of the mountain movers, which direction this fish scatters the Taiyin to the top, which direction is due east, and it has been tried and tested again and again. Although you can't see the Big Dipper when you look up, you can see Si Tianyu when you look down, and it shows us the direction, what else do you have to worry about? ”
The people who moved the mountain have lived in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, constantly looking for dust beads in the ancient tombs in various places, and also had the heart of crossing the sea to avoid the disaster of the bottomless ghost cave, and looking for the elixir of the fairy mountain at sea, in the long years, they created a set of methods, which later generations called "moving mountains and dividing the armor", in which the art of moving mountains and reclamation not only has the method of finding and digging the grave, but also includes the method and secret recipe of the restraint of the life of the star soil.
The sense of direction is what human beings must rely on for their actions, and in Feng Shui alone, the most important dragons, sand, acupoints, and water are inseparable from a "direction". At the earliest time, people used the sun, moon and stars to confirm the direction, and later knew that there was a big magnetic mountain underground, so they invented Sinan, and then gradually evolved into a more accurate guide car. After the feng shui of the Ming Dynasty was perfected, the Kanxing compass of Xiangdi to seek the dragon also evolved to the extreme. The plate should be marked with Yin and Yang Taiji, Five Elements Bagua, Heluo Ertu, Najia, Nine Stars, Twenty-eight Houses, Twenty-four Solar Terms, Twelve Palaces, Twenty-four Mountains, Sixty Dragons, etc., the least has more than three layers, and the most numerous can reach more than 40 layers, and the most important thing on the plate is the "positive, sewn, and middle" three stitches.
In ancient times, the principle of using a compass for positioning was inseparable from geomagnetism, and it was believed that magnetism and needles were the way of mother and child, and on some special occasions, the compass lost its effectiveness, so only Si Tianyu was used. The method of using Si Tian fish, originally hidden in the tomb of King Yu Si Tian, has been lost in the world, and it is occasionally obtained by the mountain movers. The so-called "Taiyin San" is actually the embalming pill contained in the mouth of the tomb owner, which contains the essence of Taiyin, and the dead corpse has this thing in its mouth, even if it is exposed to the sun for several months, it will not rot and stink, until the essence of Taiyin in the pill is dissipated. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the way of alchemy flourished, and in the late Song Dynasty, it began to decline, and the formula for this pill was nowhere to be found.
The mountain movers are soaked in a special potion, which can make the Dan re-gather the yin essence, the moon belongs to the Taiyin, put it in the glass cup as if the bright moon is on the plate, Si Tianyu is born with the nature of the moon, see that there is a clear light and brightness, it will definitely swim out from the west, the fish head faces east to absorb the essence of the Taiyin, which is the natural physical property of the bell, not for the external factors to dry up, the fish head will always be natural to the east.
If it is a big Si Tianyu shaped like a boat, it will spit out pearls and compete for glory when the moon is bright and clear, but this is just a legend in the tomb of King Yu Sitian. Nowadays, the Si Tian fish can be found, the largest is no more than the length of the adult index finger, in the case of the compass failure, the stars and the moon are gone, the little Si Tian fish's fish head as a reference, although it is not necessarily accurate, but it will never let the boat get lost in circles on the sea.
In addition, Shirley Yang also has the "Kui Astrolabe" as a supplement, it is said that Kui Xing is the "first dragon in the nine nine stars", and the "Kui" is the first star of the Big Dipper in ancient astrology, which can be called the leader of the nine palaces. This star is the lord of all spirits in heaven; The ground is the trade-off of a hundred veins. Kui Xing is also the greedy wolf star, the legend is that the greedy wolf star Jun looks strange and ugly, protruding and fangs, Kui astrolabe is also a secret weapon excavated from the ancient tomb of the mountain thieves, equivalent to a small feng shui astrolabe, which can not be affected by the weather, as well as geomagnetic and electromagnetic interference. The ancients believed that heaven, earth and man were a whole, and that the subtle changes in the breath between the mountains and the sea could be used to observe the stars and weigh the hundred veins. Although mountain movers are not good at feng shui stargazing and the like, my book "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques" discusses the mystery in detail. There are "Si Tianyu" and "Kui Astrolabe", which is almost equivalent to opening the eyes of the heavens, driving the "Trident" in and out of this mysterious spiral labyrinth, like walking on a guard.
Everyone understood the role of the "Si Tianyu" and the "Kui Astrolabe", and they were so excited that they didn't know what to say, and they couldn't imagine this insurmountable gap, as early as thousands of years ago, the ancients came up with a way to crack it. Although modern science and technology are becoming more and more developed, we have to admit that over-reliance on technology and equipment has degraded people in some aspects, but these bad things are still left to philosophers to think about. Now the biggest treasure in the South China Sea is almost within reach of everyone's eyes, and the wealth is compelling, so how can you worry about the contradiction between social progress and human degradation.
It didn't take long to hear the sound of the waves of the open sea, the movement of the sea surging like a giant bell, and the tide of the sea soared in an instant, with the secret technique of moving mountains and reclamation, the "Trident" rode the wind and waves through the reef group. I saw the sea in front of me, there are clouds and clouds, the people who run the boat on the sea call this thing "fairy mountain", the fairy mountain does not specifically refer to the mountain and stone islands that expose the sea, the so-called fairy mountain, it refers to the clouds falling on the sea surface, the guests of the boat see this strange scene, they will think it is a good omen.
