Chapter Forty-Nine: Qimen Surveying the Mountain
After an hour or two of climbing, we sat down on a large rock jutting out of a drum and rested. Further up, more and more stones like this bulge out.
When I climbed over a large rock, a crack appeared in the mountain at my feet, and smoke came out of it, and I realized that this is the reason why this mountain peak is thick and misty.
"This should be it." Xiang Feng said, looking closer.
From here, there is no protruding 'scarf' at all.
I took out the compass and measured it, and the pointer kept swinging, indicating that the magnetic field here was fluctuating and had been disordered.
"Sure enough, it will collapse." I gasped, "Let's go inform the villagers." â
Xiang Feng looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go down, and first use the Faqi Gate to measure the specific time of the collapse." â
Such a traceable, 'tangible' disaster does not belong to the 'heavenly machine'. However, if you want to predict the time of the disaster, you can't do it with an ordinary start, and you have to use the Faqi Gate. Qimen is not omnipotent, and what we are learning now is still relatively shallow, besides, what Master focuses on teaching us is the Qimen of Magic, Numerology, and Feng Shui, and many of them have not been practiced. Therefore, we are not particularly proficient in some personnel surveys, such as finding lost, without Yang Niansheng's birthday, we can't figure out where he is now, and there is that Yang Shujun was still young when Yang Niansheng was 'released', and he didn't remember the specific time of 'release', if you want to find him, you must use 'similar images', that is, we have to go to the place where Yang Niansheng was released, and look for clues from environmental factors such as topography and landform.
Like now, it is the first time for Xiang Feng and me to use Faqi Gate to predict the time of calamity.
"Ah Feng, are you sure?" I asked.
"Everything, you have to try it to know, everything is difficult at the beginning." Xiang Feng smiled confidently.
"Then let's give it a try!"
As I spoke, I took out a stack of six-ding-six-liga runes, and selected one for each of the six-ding-six-jia, a total of twelve, and threw them into the crack of the mountain in turn according to the spacing of twelve centimeters.
"Go, go down!" I waved my hand.
It was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and it was already evening when they came to the bottom of the mountain, and the two of them were already soaked with sweat. Smoke curled in the stone village, and the old man bleated past the sheep.
When I returned to the uncle's house, I saw Yang Shujun and the others waiting in the courtyard.
"Where have you two been, are you really going on a date?" Xiaoqing muttered.
"How's it going, have you found anything?" Miss Bai asked in a low voice.
I glanced at Xiang Feng, Xiang Feng nodded, and I said, "Found out." â
"You two young people are amazing!" Yang Shujun threw away the cigarette butt and asked excitedly, "How did the two dogs die?" â
"We haven't found out yet." I said, "What we found out is something else, something more serious than this." â
"Something more strict?" Yang Shujun was stunned.
"Hmm..."
I nodded, and told them about the change in the body of the mountain, and the imminent collapse.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Xiaoqing's face turned pale, and said, "Then let's hurry up and leave, don't live here!" â
Yang Shujun shouted angrily: "What to go!" We're gone, what are these villagers going to do?! â
Yang Shujun has always had a good temper, but when he suddenly got angry, everyone was shocked.
Xiaoqing was already about to cry, and said again and again: "I'm sorry uncle, I'm sorry, I, I'm too selfish..."
"Uncle Yang, don't blame her." I advised, "She's also an instinctive reaction, and this instinctive reaction is something that everybody has." â
"Yes." Miss Bai said.
Yang Shujun angrily lit a cigarette and asked, "Have you measured when it will collapse?" â
"We're getting ready to test." Xiang Feng said, "I need water, pot ash, and chicken blood." â
Water and pot ashes are easy to do, I borrowed an old basin from the uncle who stayed with us for the night, and made a basin of water in the water tank, and Yang Shujun scraped the pot ashes. As for chicken blood, it is not difficult, the uncle's family has a hen that lays eggs. However, we spent more than an hour doing the uncle's ideological work, and Yang Shujun was even more cheeky and coaxed and persuaded him, and the uncle finally agreed to give us the chicken with a painful face.
The next thing is to wait for the time before you can cast the spell. At dinner, everyone was sullen. Yang Shujun looked like he had lost his appetite, his face was calm, and he was sullenly drinking soju.
Time passes little by little, and the anxiety of waiting makes people feel that time has become very long. Everyone seemed a little uneasy, if they didn't know that the mountain was going to collapse, it was fine, but once they knew, everyone was worried until they knew the time of the collapse, and it seemed that they would be born at any moment.
When they finally came to Zi, Yang Shujun and they sent me and Xiang Feng all the way to the door. Holding the basin to the wind, I held the hen in my arms, and the two of us walked down the low cliff.
"Just stop here." Xiang Feng said.
I looked around and saw that the villagers had already fallen asleep, and there was not a single light in the village. Looking up, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the crescent moon is hanging in the air, which is not at all like there will be heavy rain the day after tomorrow.
"Leng, close your eyes." Xiang Feng said.
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment and did as I was told.
"Ten numbers from one to ten, just say one, don't think about it with your heart, blurt it out." Xiang Feng said.
"Nine."
"Okay, open your eyes..."
This method is somewhat similar to the random selection of small six nones before the test.
"Now, you're facing north." Xiang Feng said, "Count north from any house, stop when you count to the ninth, or like that, don't pause, just count at will." â
I did as I was told, and counted nine in one breath.
"Let's go." He waved his hand to the wind.
We came to the ninth house, which I had numbered, and saw that it was an uninhabited and collapsed house, and in front of it there was a small open space covered with grass. Xiang Feng looked up at the mountain peak and said, "Very good, just cast a spell here."
The basin was lowered, and the ashes were evenly sprinkled on the water, and I cut the throat of the chicken, and blood sprayed into the basin.
After that, we gathered around the basin and arranged the six Ding Liujia runes in a circle in turn. Xiang Feng commanded me to stand next to the basin and stand in the Gen position, because the Gen represents the mountain. Then, Xiang Feng used the Quartet Rune to calm the periphery.
"Ah Leng, now I cast a spell and ask the gods, your task is to communicate with the gods, and the gods of Liuding and Liujia will let you see the impending disaster." Xiang Feng said.
I nodded, closed my eyes, and let go of a distracting thought, with only the sound of chanting a spell to the wind.
After a while, I heard Xiang Feng shouting: "Ah Leng, do it!" â
I opened my eyes suddenly, bit my index finger and plunged into the basin, staring wide at the water.
Suddenly, there was no zĂ i left all around, and the pot seemed to have grown countless times larger. The surface of the water began to shake, and it was a visual shake, because I couldn't feel the water moving when I was in the basin.
It just dangled like this, and suddenly, like a movie curtain, a picture slowly opened on the water. It was a mountain, a mountain that was constantly shaking. Suddenly, the image became cloudy and the peaks were blurred. If you look closely, it turns out that it is raining heavily.
Immediately afterwards, a vague image of a talisman appeared on the mountain peak, and under identification, it was one of the six Ding Liujia runes that we put into the crack - Ding Youfu. It's just that, judging from the proportion with the mountain peak, I don't know how many times the talisman is bigger.
As the talisman vanished, I felt as if I heard an earth-shattering bang, and then the mountain in the image collapsed, and the boulder rolled and lunged towards me...
I jumped up with a loud 'ah' scream, and the whole area was restored to its original appearance, and the image in the basin was gone.
"How?" Xiang Feng asked.
"It's raining... "The time of the collapse of the mountain is the day after tomorrow!" â
When I returned to my residence, I saw Yang Shujun and the others still waiting there, and they didn't go to sleep. The moonlight poured on the ground, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the yard looked miserable.
"How?" Yang Shujun stood up abruptly and asked eagerly.
"The time of the collapse of the mountain is the unitary time of the day after tomorrow, that is, between 5 and 7 o'clock in the afternoon." I said.
Yang Shujun snapped his fingers, and said with a long sigh of relief, That's okay, it's too late, notify the villagers tomorrow, go to bed first.
I don't know why, but I have a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart. I didn't sleep well that night, even Xiaoqing, who had always been a snooze, couldn't sleep, tossing and turning in bed, sighing from time to time. In the second half of the night, the wind blew, and the door bolt blown by the mountain wind rattled, as if someone was hiding outside.
I fell asleep at dawn, and I didn't sleep long before I was woken up by Xiang Feng. When I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright, and Miss Bai and Xiaoqing were still asleep.
Came outside lightly, only to see that the uncle was sweeping the yard, and when he saw us getting up, he smiled honestly, and when he asked, Yang Shujun hadn't woken up yet. The breeze is blowing, the sun is warm, and the stone village below the cliff is quiet, and wisps of cooking smoke waft over the village.
