“The principle of biting off more than you can chew is always the solution.”
After saying this, Liu Zhengdao made a gesture of invitation and said, "Mr. Yuan, Mr. Li, it's time to go to the next peak."
Liu Zhengdao’s words made me think deeply.
Yuan Huashao even cupped his fists in return.
He turned around and led the way towards the mountain in the other direction.
It took us two hours to go up the mountain. Even if we went down the mountain quickly, we couldn't go any faster.
The next peak is the Swallow's Nest!
The swallow's nest is at the foot of the cauldron.
Burial caves are easier to find than other locations. They are usually located on the mountainside or in low places.
On the way, the night became darker.
The darker it is, the closer it is to dawn.
Although the three of us didn't talk much, we each had our own thoughts.
At this time, I thought that Liu Zhengdao was so tyrannical, which I had not expected.
Is there really any danger to us here?
If we can't do it in the end, I'm afraid those two people will never appear in front of us again...
The sky is getting darker...
We have left Fufu Peak and arrived at the Swallow's Nest.
This area of low peaks is even more undulating.
I was going to use a compass to determine my bearings.
Yuan Huashao raised his hand, but he stopped me.
"It's better to let Mr. Li and Daochang Liu take action all the time, while Yuan sits back and enjoys the results."
I put away the compass.
Yuan Huashao looked up at the sky, then looked down below.
We are now on the first peak of Yanchao, and the height here is sufficient.
Yuan Huashao put his hands behind his back, and his eyes swept across again.
Liu Zhengdao glanced at Yuan Huashao twice, and I was also a little confused.
Dividing gold into fixed acupoints, Yuan Huashao didn’t use a compass?
The next moment, Yuan Huashao's lips moved slightly.
Is he making a deduction?
If Yuan Huashao takes out the compass, I can more or less see some of his strength.
Now he is pushing the azimuth hexagram with his hands behind his back, which makes it difficult for people to figure out.
After about a cup of tea, Yuan Huashao's eyes became a little brighter.
He turned to look at me and Liu Zhengdao, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, Master Liu, please."
"Mr. Yuan, have you determined the location?" I took a deep breath and asked.
Yuan Huashao nodded.
Before I could speak again, he added: "There are many peaks in the Swallow's Nest, and their number just matches the number on the turtle's back."
"This direction is deduced from the sixteen innate hexagrams, which happens to be the four-line spiritual hexagram."
"Ling is the third and fourth houses of the Qimen. Among the eight gates, it is located in the Pianshangmen and Piandumen."
Although Yuan Huashao has already made it very clear.
But I don’t understand the sixteen innate hexagrams at all.
The word "spirit" will not appear in the Bagua at all.
Therefore, I couldn't understand half of it.
Liu Zhengdao nodded, and said directly: "Mr. Yuan, please lead the way."
Yuan Huashao paused, then made another gesture of invitation, and then stepped forward.
We walked around the small peaks of Yanchao. It was only at this time that I understood a little bit about the shallowness.
This is because the orientation has something to do with the eight gates.
When he reached a low peak again, Yuan Huashao stopped.
The sky is slightly bright.
Purple air came from the east, piercing the darkness in the night sky and dispersing the tranquility of the night.
The chirping of insects and birds began one after another.
I looked up at the sky and then at Yuan Huashao.
Yuan Huashao's eyes were still scanning the ground.
I narrowed my eyes slightly and felt a little frightened.
Yuan Huashao is still looking for directions?
In Onmyoji, there is a point.
It is the boundary between life and death, the difference between yang and yin.
The dead belong to the underworld, and the night belongs to the underworld.
Yin and Yang are often separated, and this distinction becomes more obvious after dark turns to dawn.
Living people will subconsciously ignore many things.
And the Yin Qi will form an invisible barrier and hide.
It is precisely for this reason that the husband does not open the tomb during the day and never starts building the house at night.
Because it is possible to stand in one place, knowing that the hole is below, but still unable to dig out the body.
Building a house at night may also attract evil spirits.
If you want to fix acupuncture points during the day, the requirements for Yin and Yang techniques are too high!
Even if I can achieve it, I am usually unwilling to do it. This goes against the conservation of the yin and yang world and will have a certain degree of backlash.
Easier to be thankless.
Just when my thoughts came to this.
Yuan Huashao walked to a slightly sunken mountain wall and tapped his hand gently on the mountain wall.
"Found it?" Liu Zhengdao asked in a low voice.
Yuan Huashao turned around, nodded and said, "It should be right here."
I did not interrupt Yuan Huashao.
At this time, Yuan Huashao looked at me and nodded slightly.
My heart suddenly jumped slightly, and I vaguely understood the reason...
Yuan Huashao, are you breaking the rules on purpose?
It's like we are so anxious that we can't wait to break out.
In this way, the two people following him will feel that they have an opportunity.
Adding a bit more danger to the cave out of thin air is probably just a trick.
Just when I thought of this, Yuan Huashao said again: "Taoist Master Liu, please open the grave again."
Liu Zhengdao touched his waist and the golden hoe fell into his palm.
He danced the hoe with one hand, and the golden hoe spun rapidly, falling towards the position indicated by Yuan Huashao!
In the blink of an eye, a hole appeared!
This hole is pitch black and deep, as if you can't see the bottom...
Liu Zhengdao's eyelids twitched slightly, showing a look of surprise.
I was well prepared, so I could calm down my thoughts.
It would be unreasonable if Yuan Huashao couldn't find the tomb passage by tapping the acupoints like this.
"This tomb is much more complicated than the one just now. This time, we should have dug up a traitor." Yuan Huashao licked the corner of his mouth and murmured.
Yuan Huashao did not hesitate and got into the tomb passage alone.
The moment he entered, the poison-stricken hand darkened in an instant, as if the injury was aggravated by the erosion of Yin Qi.
"Mr. Li, you go in first, I'll be behind." Liu Zhengdao looked at me and said.
I understood what Liu Zhengdao meant and got into the tomb passage.
After that, Liu Zhengdao followed.
The tomb passage is sloping downwards, and there are constant rustling sounds from below.
In addition, I felt a sense of oppression all over my body.
Faintly, a bit of cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
Not long after we arrived at the bottom of the tomb passage.
A faint light came on, illuminating the entire tomb.
The tomb chamber is in the shape of a semicircle, with a large area, exceeding six meters in length and width.
The light source comes from lamps branching out from the wall.
The lamps are large, more like copper tripods, filled with lamp oil, with the candle wick at the top.
Obviously, this place has always been a sealed space. Liu Zhengdao broke through the sealed tomb passage and allowed air to enter, allowing the phosphorus fire to light the oil lamp.
The ground was spotlessly clean, and there were many wooden boxes around the edges of the walls, like funerary objects.
There is no coffin in the middle of the tomb.
But a giant turtle shell.
The turtle shell is at least one meter square.
Moreover, there are a large number of words engraved on the surface of the turtle shell.
However, the first moment I lost my sight, Yuan Huashao hurried forward. He took out a porcelain bottle with one hand and flicked it towards the turtle shell!
With a snap, the porcelain bottle shattered, and he threw out another firecracker.
With a rustling sound, the flames enveloped the entire turtle shell, and the words on it were quickly dissipating...
