So, I once again used the price of "three meals of braised pork" to let Xiao Yuan take Li Yuan down the mountain first.
Just let him rest at the home of his hunchbacked distant uncle and wait for news from us.
After Li Yuan is settled, Xiao Yuan can fly back to catch up with me, Niu Bi, and Niu Deheng.
…
We set off and followed the dark footprints in the grass.
Because the graves of brothers Li Fuxi and Li Fugui are actually near the top of the mountain, going west is a downhill road along the ridge.
There are few people in the mountains, and the traces left behind will not be destroyed by humans. We can clearly see that in addition to the black footprints left by Li Fuxi, there are many trampled down weeds along the way, which were obviously left by Li Youde and the three of them when they fled for their lives.
Niu Bi also found a sneaker!
He picked it up and sighed.
"Even his shoes ran away, which shows how scared Boss Li is."
Niu Deheng looked disgusted, held his nose and floated back some distance.
"Brother, you just need to know the right way to go. Don't pick it up and hold it in your hands for so long. It stinks!"
I really couldn't hold it back and scolded with a smile.
"We are here to rescue people, be serious!"
After walking down the mountain to the west for about half an hour, the terrain became lower and the air around us became much moister.
I guess there should be a water source nearby.
Sure enough, through a small forest ahead, a creek appeared in front of us.
And that's the end of the evil Li Fuxi's black footprints.
"Brother Wu, the feng shui here is great. Why do I have an inexplicable feeling of palpitations and panic?"
Niu Bi frowned.
His cultivation in Feng Shui is still very good, but after all, he does not have the guidance of famous teachers and various secret books and magic weapons...
I looked around, thought for a while and said.
"The biggest possibility is that the Feng Shui eye has been destroyed. The Feng Shui pattern and the formation method will have some similarities to a certain extent. The formation has an formation eye, and the Feng Shui pattern also has a Feng Shui eye."
"If it is destroyed, it may even change in an extremely concealed manner - from a good luck pattern to a bad luck pattern! Ordinary Feng Shui masters may be confused, but you are still good, old cow, and you will intuitively know that something is wrong here."
He said he was ashamed, but I took out the Twenty-Four Mountains Tianyuan Compass!
Prepare to use it directly to find the location of the "Feng Shui Eye" nearby.
Although this is a bit suspected of "cheating"... but when faced with complex situations, it would be too pedantic and rigid to rely on yourself to see and calculate without using good tools.
Holding a small golden compass in his hand, with a thought, the energy in his body was poured into it.
Amidst the buzzing and trembling sounds, circles of golden ripples spread from the compass body, turning into a compass shadow about three feet in diameter and covering it.
The various scales are clearly visible, and they are constantly and automatically adjusted as I move, perfectly corresponding to the directions of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers and the twenty-four mountains in real time.
I just need to find and interpret it from the compass shadow...
Niu Bi's tone was filled with emotion.
"It's incredible! Let alone seeing a top-notch magical weapon of this level, I have only heard of it in the legends of my master."
Niu Deheng next to him was startled.
"What? Master secretly told you these things. I didn't even hear it. He said it behind my back! Don't ghosts have human rights?"
Niu Bi: "..."
"Brother, don't worry about these details! What's more, you were asleep at the time. Master has no preference."
"I do not believe!"
While the two brothers, one man and one ghost, were bickering, I had already discovered the location of the destroyed "Feng Shui Eye".
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the direction about a mile east of the clear stream.
"It's right over there! Let's go and take a look."
Generally speaking, most rivers flow from west to east. The creek in front of me is no exception.
So the east side is actually the downstream. After we walked downstream for about a mile, we stopped.
I look at the golden compass in my hand.
"It should be right here, under the big rock."
I put away the compass and pointed at a stone in the middle of the creek. I could feel it slowly exuding a cold breath...
Niu Bi sighed.
"This stone weighs hundreds of kilograms at first glance. If it weren't for Brother Wu, I wouldn't be able to get it open with just the strength of my brother and I."
This guy! He really looks for opportunities to flatter me at any time. But I have to say, it sounds quite comfortable...
I smiled and waved my hands.
"Okay, old cow, don't always flatter me when you have nothing to do. Go and push the stone away and take a look."
After saying that, he rolled up his trousers and walked toward the middle of the stream...
It was obviously early summer, but the stream in the mountain was unusually cold, as cold as a needle pricking a cone. It can be seen that the source is most likely groundwater.
Niu Bi and I approached the big stone in the stream and put our hands on the stone. Niu Deheng also appeared like a real entity, floating in mid-air and pushing hard.
If ordinary people didn't pay attention to his pale skin and flying in the air, they would probably mistake him for a living person!
"Huh, ha!"
I exhaled loudly, and the muscles in both arms seemed to swell a bit. The veins on the back of my hands bulged, and the strength in my whole body was twisted together. Push hard!
This irregular large stone was pushed to one side and fell to the other side.
There was a crash and water splashed.
Then we saw that under this big rock, there was a dead man!
"Oh my god, you scared me."
The fat ghost Niu Deheng floated back and called out.
I was speechless for a while.
"Brother, you are a ghost! Are you still afraid of dead bodies?"
Niu Deheng scratched his head sheepishly.
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid. It just appeared so suddenly and I felt a bit shocked."
Niu Bi and I also lowered our heads and looked at the body in the water... The body was lying on its stomach and had been flattened by the stones.
And the moment the big stone was lifted, a large amount of blood immediately flowed out from under the squashed corpse, dyeing most of the creek red.
It looks a bit unnerving!
My expression was solemn.
"It should be this corpse, which was crushed to death under the stone. The resentment and the condensed blood have polluted and destroyed the Feng Shui pattern of the nearby watershed. It turned the auspicious place into a dangerous place."
Niu Bi sighed.
"Looking at his appearance, he must have died not long ago. I just don't know if he was killed by humans or ghosts."
"The ghost doesn't know Feng Shui, right? Of course, maybe it doesn't need to know the purpose when it kills people, it just needs to follow the instructions... By the way, old cow, can you tell who died?"
I asked.
I only know Li Fang and have never met Li Youde or Li Youren.
Niu Bi shook his head.
"I think Li Youde and his brother are two brothers, but they are similar in height and shape. The body was lying face down in the water. It was completely crushed and unrecognizable."
