Chapter 70: The Rainbow After the Rain
As the Yin Yang Needle rotated rapidly in the Heavenly Pool, everyone was dumbfounded, but Jin Facai opened his mouth first: "Big, big official, this ...... What's going on? β
At first, when the pointer suddenly stopped and everyone else relaxed, I actually had a faint suspicion, but now that the pointer is spinning, I have a little bottom in my heart.
"Tiangang North and South Dipper, the Earth Evil Yin and Yang Gate, the Boundless Hidden Secret Road in the Wide Sea, and the Deep Mountains Have Many Paths......" I couldn't help but recite a few of the mantras of this ancestral compass scripture in my mouth, and I knew that although we were walking in the middle of the mountain road, we had unconsciously entered a forbidden land of yin and yang.
"What dark path, what deep mountains?" Jin Facai scratched the handful of golden retrievers above his head: "Are you saying that we are lost?" β
"How can you get lost, isn't this mountain road a good walk, if you get lost, the leading car in front of you won't drive forward without a sound." Ah Hu said.
"Yes, we have this map in hand, and we are walking in this direction. You can't go wrong. Ah Bao added, but saw that he also took one of the pile of Buddhist cards hanging in the rearview mirror and put it around his neck.
Ah Zi stared blankly at the spinning compass and did not speak, and Li Youwu was silently thinking about something.
"It's true that you're not lost, I mean, maybe this mountain is a combination of two yin and yang magnetic fields, for example, have you heard of the Bermuda Delta? A lot of planes have crashed or gone missing in this area......" I saw that they were nodding, so I continued: "If you use the theory of modern science to explain, this is also a kind of chaotic magnetic region formed by the collision of magnetic fields, and I can't explain the specific physical principles in it, but if you want to change it to the theory of yin and yang, I can probably make an analogy......"
"What, what parable?" It was as if Zi had just woken up from fear.
"Don't be nervous when I say it......" I paused: "Actually, nothing, each of us has our own magnetic field, or aura. The underworld also has its own magnetic field, and the reason why we look at feng shui is divided into two different views, one is also because for the magnetic fields of the two worlds of yin and yang, the same direction has completely different effects. β
Seeing that they didn't seem to understand, I continued: "Just like thunder, the negative ions excited by thunder and lightning can make us feel that the air is fresh, and the change in the magnetic field in the air caused by the same thunder is almost suffocating pain for those ghosts. β
"What does that have to do with the failure of our compass today?" Li Youwu couldn't help but open his mouth.
"The relationship lies in the fact that the orientation of this mountain falls on the intersection of a yang magnetic field and a yin magnetic field, or near a certain intersection point, so the new magnetic field generated by the hedge of two magnetic fields is very unstable, and this instability can directly lead to the loss of a sense of direction on the normal compass, and if my crystal compass can judge the existence of this new magnetic field, it will show a special reaction." As I spoke, I pointed to the yin and yang needles that were still flying.
"That's why the pointer keeps turning?" Jin Facai looked at the heavy rain outside the window and continued to ask, "Then what will happen if we enter this magnetic field?" Will it die? β
"Hehe, of course not." I smiled and said: "The flying needle is non-stop, and it is often used to judge whether there are ghosts and spirits around you, if this compass is flying today, and your compass can be used normally, it means that there are ghosts passing by, but now your compass is also out of order, then the two magnetic field confrontations I judge are more in line with the facts." β
I saw that they were still frowning, so I was relieved: "Don't worry, there are many places where the two magnetic fields of yin and yang collide, but this direction is constantly changing with the passage of time, as little as a few days, more than decades, when and where these hedges will appear, I don't quite understand now, but this is just a phenomenon of magnetic field chaos, and it has little impact on real life." It's like your home, there are wires, network wires, and telephone lines buried in the walls, as long as the switch is turned on and off, you are in a hidden magnetic field change, and you have no problem, right? β
"I see...... Jin Facai scratched his scalp and said with relief: "Then what you said earlier was so shocking, just say it's okay." β
"That's right, Boss Zang went around for a long time, and directly said the analogy of the wire switch in the back, it's good." Ah Hu sighed.
I saw that they were all relaxed again, so I nodded and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sick, I always have to make it a little more suspenseful, so that you can think I'm better." Hehehe. β
Although they all paid attention to the pouring rain outside, I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart, the reason was why the crystal compass, after opening the spiritual power at first, did not immediately fly, but stopped motionless for a few minutes?
I remember my father said that this yin-yang needle is the most sensitive, even if it is used for ordinary measurement directions, it can feel the subtle changes in the rotation of heaven and earth, so it is impossible to be completely still - even if it stops, the tip of the needle will tremble slightly - but just now, it did not move at all! This really hasn't happened once in my previous 10 years of use......
Soon 20 minutes passed, and the rain became noticeably lesser, only turning into an almost invisible rain, floating weakly in the air, and after a while, it stopped completely.
The walkie-talkies of the second and third teams have reported their respective movements, and it seems that they did not encounter heavy rain on the road, and the road into the mountains was quite smooth, but we were a lot behind, and Company Commander Wang sent an order to continue to the destination.
The weather in the mountains was indeed like a doll's face, cloudy and sunny quickly, and the sun was blazing overhead, and the road surface quickly dried up.
"Rainbow! Rainbow!! Ah Zi suddenly pointed out the window and shouted.
I followed the direction of her finger, and behind the mountain not far away, a rainbow really rose, hanging straight in the sky, although the brilliant rainbow light could be clearly distinguished, but in fact the distance from us could not be estimated, because we were separated from the mountain by a valley, and although the straight distance between the mountains was short, it seemed that the road was long.
Ah Zi suddenly sobbed, wiping her tears with one hand to hold back the cry, and the other hand clenched her fist against the glass window, I remember that she once said that there was a rainbow pool in her hometown, and that was where the rainbow rose and where her Abba and Mom disappeared......
I didn't know how to comfort her, so I spread out the map and looked at the direction we were driving and the mountain she was pointing to, as if it was indeed where her hometown was.
I patted her on the shoulder: "Control the feelings, I told you yesterday, you can't be impulsive, otherwise your brain will be bad." β
She barely squeezed out a smile, and finally wiped the corners of her eyes, which were already red, and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely find them." β
I nodded, and a sadness rose in my heart, although I couldn't fully empathize with her feelings at this time, but I thought about how desperate and helpless it was to witness the sudden death of my family and neighbors who were close to me every day. If it were me, alone in a foreign land with my uncle, would I be able to live as confidently as her?
Now, being in her hometown, approaching the mountains with her heart, there is also a faint feeling of returning to her hometown, and whether the original happiness and reunion of this "hometown" can be restored as before, and the result can be seen immediately.
Soon another hour had passed, and the road in front of us was getting narrower and narrower, and it was already on a downhill that led to the depths of the valley.
"Attention car 6, car 6 attention, the front has entered the outer mountains of the Wild Elephant Valley, please be ready to pack and get off, we are about to walk over the last mountain and enter the destination. Overγ β
"What? Still going up the hill on foot? As soon as Jin Facai heard the conversation of Company Commander Wang, a lump of flesh could be twisted out of pain on his face: "In such a hot weather, you have to climb such a high mountain, ouch mom, you see, this mountain looks like it has to be seven or eight thousand meters high!?" Yes? β
"How can it be so exaggerated as you say, the highest mountain in our Yunnan is more than 6,000 meters, I think this hill is only one or two kilometers at most, it took me only a few hours to climb it with my uncle, or at night." Ah Zi glanced at him and said.
"That'...... Then you grew up here, of course, you have fast legs. Jin Facai was bored, and then turned to look at me: "Daguan, do you think we can climb over?" β
I saw that he had a bitter face, but I couldn't let him retreat, and quipped: "Then or so, let's go up with a large army, and you are waiting for us here alone?" β
"Okay! β¦β¦ Ah no, no, no, no, this barren mountain and wilderness, who knows how long it will take you to pass, in case it gets dark and doesn't come down, I can't point out what I encountered! He muttered to himself: "Come on, it's a weight loss anyway, in case half of the road gets heat stroke, don't blame me for holding back!" β
Ah Bao also comforted: "Boss Jin, don't worry, this mountain looks high, in fact, you can walk with your head down, and you will go up, you are too tired, rest and rest in the middle, and our brothers will help you carry the package." β
"Okay! That's what you said! β
Li Youwu didn't raise his head, he just snorted in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you came to save people, but let others save you first." β
Jin Facai was suddenly tepid by his sarcasm, and he didn't reply for a long time: "Who saved whom, who saved whom, I'll just talk about it, I think I also ran into 1000 meters back then...... Five minutes of people! β
As I spoke, the car had stopped on a flat ground, and I looked out the window to see the lush dense forest and tall trees, and the weeds on the ground were overgrown, but there was no formed road.
The comrades in the car of the commander of the Wang Company had already lined up in front of the car to report the number, and one by one they were carrying 03-type rifles on their shoulders and ready to go.
We each carried our backpacks and fished out of the car, and Company Commander Wang came over and said, "The other two teams have gathered at the foot of the mountain on the east and west sides, let's check the table again." β
The time is 14:52 p.m.
"You've all had lunch in the car, why don't you go and go up the mountain at 15 o'clock." Company Commander Wang said.
In 8 minutes, everyone found a hidden bush or behind a big tree to solve the problem in a hurry, and finally saw Ah Zi running out of a pile of rocks with an embarrassed smile, and everyone was ready to go.
"Wait, how many of you are there?" Company Commander Wang asked.
"Six!" Ah Zi replied while counting the number of people: "I, the big official, the fat brother, the tiger brother, the leopard brother...... Alas? What about the sunglasses? β
At this time, I found out that I don't know when, Li Youwu disappeared......
