It only rained this morning, it was rainy, but in the evening, it cleared. The sky is starry and you can see it very clearly. I carefully observed the displacement of the Big Dipper, comparing it with the positions recorded in the previous eight days. This is in our line, which is called the number of Chong Jiu, in order to survey the position of the local seven levels, which is the most accurate.

However, according to the phase of the Big Dipper, the seven levels are determined, because it takes at least nine days to prepare for the number of nine to be combined. Now that we are cramming like this, we can only estimate an approximate direction, and the error is extremely large.

I found a relatively flat place, and there happened to be a very smooth stone on the ground, and I made it more flat, so I put the water bowl on it, and then I took out a needle with a thin cow's hair, and with a flick of it, the needle floated into the water.

The dead face took a lot of tricks and secrets from the three major sects of Fu Gong back then, which is a kind of spell of the Qingwei faction, called the water viewing method, also known as the drifting needle method. In his unique way, he floats a needle into the water and makes it float on the surface.

From the perspective of the five elements of yin and yang, water itself is yin, so it will be slightly affected by the direction of yang energy, and the tension on the surface of the water will change depending on the strength of yang energy. The water observation method of the Qingwei School is based on this principle, and the direction of the needle tip in the water is used to determine the circulation direction of yang energy. Compared with the method of astral opposition nine taught to me by the third uncle, this method of observing water is very rough and has a large error, but it is better than simple and can be used for emergency response.

The millineedle rotated slightly on the surface of the water, and I carefully observed the rotation and frequency of the needle tip, and used the unique algorithm of the Qingwei School to calculate constantly, which corroborated with the direction obtained from stargazing just now. After about a quarter of an hour, there was already a rough outline in my mind. He retrieved the needle, splashed the water in the bowl, closed his eyes, ran the yin and yang bottle, carefully observed the changes of the yin and yang qi around him, and walked slowly in the direction of the flow of yang energy.

Back then, I was trapped in the cinnabar ghost building with a dead face, and at that time, I didn't know the yin and yang bottle, so I could only imitate the corpse expulsion technique to forcibly lift a corpse, and use the yin corpse to determine the direction of the flow of life. At this point, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Whether in a town or a mountainous area, there are seven fixed levels, and yang energy flows around through established veins. I followed the flow of yang energy, walked around the town for a week, and finally surveyed the true location of the seven passes here. And the Yang Sincere Pass, which has the most yang energy among the seven levels, is indeed just as the horse face said, and it happens to be in the inner courtyard of the Chen family.

This shows that the judgment of using Yang Ken to lock the brakes is correct.

While pondering, I slowly walked back to Chen's house, and as soon as I climbed down the wall, I heard someone shout: "Who is it?" ”

The voice sounded crisp, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be Chen Lin's Qingwei female disciple, who was standing in the courtyard with a basket of incense and candles. She saw that it was me, so she walked over, and when she saw that I was still holding a bowl in my hand, she was a little surprised and said, "Xiaojing, what are you ......doing here?"

I didn't know how to explain it for a while, so I said, "I can't sleep, so I'll go out for a walk." I was a little thirsty just now, so I'll return this bowl first. ”

Chen Lin let out an "oh", took the bowl from my hand, and said, "I'll put the bowl away." I told my mom to go to bed first, and I'll go and add some incense to my dad. ”

I almost forgot that Chen Lin still has to keep the spirit. I happened to ask her something, so I said, "I can't sleep anyway, so I'll stay with you for a while." ”

Chen Lin smiled: "Okay." "So I carried the basket to the six coffins, and I helped to change the incense and candles.

Chen Lin said: "I heard Sister Zining say, you used to be in the funeral industry?" ”

I said yes, I used to follow my third uncle to the mourning hall when I was very young. Chen Lin was speechless: "You are so young, aren't you afraid to look at those corpses?" ”

I lit the incense stick, inserted it in front of the coffin, and said with a smile: "If you get used to it, you won't be afraid." ”

Chen Lin said: "It's amazing. When I was as young as you, I was scared half to death by a cockroach. ”

I smiled and said, "At that time, there was no way, my third uncle couldn't do anything other than this, and he couldn't even open a small shop." In order to be able to eat enough, I had to do it hard. After a pause, he asked, "Do you know where the mother and son of the Wang family died in the back mountain?" ”

Chen Lin thought for a while and said, "I've heard people talk about it before, and I may know where the general direction is, but I've never been there." ”

I said, "That's it, you tell me the location, and I'll find it myself." ”

Chen Linqi said: "Where are you going?" What are you going to do? ”

"Some things seem weird, so I want to check them out."

Chen Lin let out an "oh" and said, "I heard my mother talk about this before, and I thought it was a little weird. You said that even if the Wang family wants to seek death, why did they go all the way to the mountains. ”

I also think this is a little suspicious. Wang was determined to take revenge with death, so he made a murderer. But it's okay to sit at home, and there's no need to run to the remote mountains.

Hearing me say this, Chen Lin also had some doubts. After all, he is a disciple of the Qingwei faction, and he still has this sensitivity. "When are you going to go?" ”

I said I couldn't sleep anyway, and I was going to leave immediately. Chen Lin let out an "ah", looked at the sky, and said, "Then I'll accompany you, the terrain over there is complicated, and it's hard to find." ”

I said no, you still have to keep a watch. Chen Lin said: "It's important to get down to business, my mother should get up in a while." "I saw that she insisted, and there was someone who could lead the way. When I was about to leave the house, I paused and smiled, "Wait a minute, I'll call someone again." ”

Chen Lin let out an "oh" and combed the incense candle in front of the coffin again. When I found the old man Zheng's room, I woke the little old man out of his sleep, and when I heard that I was going to the place where Wang died, the little old man jumped up from the bed at once, shouting that he wanted to go with him to open his eyes.

Coming out with him, Chen Lin was very surprised when she saw it, she thought I was looking for Miss Lu, Qingzi. Old man Zheng was overjoyed, saw Chen Lin, and said, "Ouch, my niece is also here, just go with me." ”

It also saves the opening of the courtyard door to alarm others, and the three of them climbed over the wall and went out. Listening to Chen Lin, the back mountain is several miles away from here. We stepped up our pace, and soon passed through most of the town of Kangping, and reached the outskirts. Needless to say, Chen Lin is a dignified female disciple who is naturally athletic and far beyond ordinary people. It's the old man Zheng, who is a lot older, but it's not false to catch up.

After about a mile, I entered a black and oppressive mountain range. Old man Zheng snapped and turned on a flashlight, this person was thoughtful. As you go all the way, the mountain forest is extremely humid due to the rain during the day, and occasionally water droplets fall from the trees overhead.

Chen Lin looked around as he walked, but the more he walked, the more hesitant he became, and said, "I only know a rough idea, and I really can't say where it is." After a while, he added, "But I heard my mother say that the place where Wang died was a cave, in a sunken valley. The shape of the valley is very special, like a rice bucket, and it should be easy to recognize. ”

Old man Zheng said with a smile: "The little old man once went to that place because of curiosity, although it has been some years, he should still have some impressions." ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it." I'm afraid I'll take the wrong path, and that's bad. ”

I listened to the two of them talking, but my mind was not on this at all, and it took a long time to react and say, "Is it a rice bucket shape?" ”

Chen Lin said: "Yes, listen to my mother, the appearance of this valley is the same as the rice bucket used to measure rice at home, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. ”

Old man Zheng said: "My niece is right, I have also seen the terrain, in our industry, it should be called Sheng Yin Dou." Little brother, I don't know if I'm wrong in this judgment? ”

If it is really that kind of terrain, it is right to be "Yin Dou" in terms of pattern. I let out an "um" and said casually, "I think it's right." "The more I walked, the more confused I became.

From the moment I first entered this low and gloomy mountain range, I felt that the qi around me was very strange. That strange yin air rotation gave me a string of goosebumps all over my body. I took a step behind the two of them, picked up the Yin and Yang bottle, and carefully observed the changes in the Yin and Yang Qi in the vicinity, and the deeper I walked inside, the more numb my scalp became.
