Crunch, crunch...
The thick leather and nylon hiking shoes made a crunching sound when stepped on the forest leaves piled up half a foot thick on the ground.
The air is filled with a complex smell mixed with earth, dead branches and leaves, grass and flowers - Wang Lei and the others said that this is the smell of the primeval forest!
But all this is new to me, even after walking in the forest for a day yesterday.
After all, we went some distance deeper into Changbai Mountain, and the various scenes changed again.
"Brother Wu's talismans are so easy to use. Not only do they completely avoid the dangers of poisonous snakes and various bugs in the grass, but they even eliminate annoying mountain mosquitoes."
"Yes! Although the mountain mosquitoes in the Changbai Mountains are not poisonous enough to cause serious injury or death, one bite can cause a swelling as big as a pigeon egg, which is itchy, painful, and red. It is very annoying."
The members of the treasure hunting team were chatting, expressing their gratitude to me.
Everyone likes to hear sincere compliments, especially when you feel grateful after you have provided convenience for the other person - of course they also provided convenience for me.
I smiled and shook my head.
"Don't be so polite. We are helping each other. You took me into Changbai Mountain so that I wouldn't run around blindly. Naturally, I have to reciprocate and provide you with some help. Otherwise, wouldn't I be successful? Got that annoying relationship?"
Ha ha!
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
I made a little joke about the situation when we first met in Changchun a few days ago.
At this time, Wang Lei said again.
"By the way, Brother Wu, I feel very good today. I've been walking for an hour and I don't seem as tired as before. Is it because you used some new charm? Is it the one posted behind our backs?"
I nodded.
"That's right! It's actually a charm that can enhance physical fitness in a short period of time. It can last for about three hours. But the effect is not strong, and it is not as good as ordinary stimulants. But fortunately, it does not have any side effects. After the effect disappears, I’ll just cast another spell and get one for each of you.”
Everyone naturally expressed their thanks again.
After a while, we came to an open mountainous area.
It seems to be a small hill inside the canyon, with sparse vegetation on the top, so it has a better view.
Lu Ping said happily when he saw this.
"The different peaks here are protruding, which is a pattern of [a single tiger patrolling the mountain], which is an auspicious sign in Feng Shui. Whether it is a yin house or a yang house, building it here will have a good protection effect for future generations."
As he spoke, he stroked his non-existent beard.
I was looking at the nearby mountains and forests, looking at the lush forests at the bottom of the canyon and the steep, vertical canyon cliffs in the distance, and marveling at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. Listening to him talk about the Feng Shui pattern at this time, I took over the conversation almost instinctively without thinking.
"That's right! The tiger is the king of beasts. He is independent, does not live in groups, and occupies the mountain alone as the king. At the same time, he is the western symbol among the four symbols. This Feng Shui pattern of "Tiger Patrolling the Mountain" , in a place of great yin like the primeval forest, it also shows some characteristics of the lonely yang, but it can be integrated into it. Although the auspicious signs are not strong, it is better than ten thousand gold balm. Not only the yin house and the yang house can be built, even if there are living people here Using some methods can also have a weak beneficial effect. It is said that in the pattern of "Douhu Mountain Patrol", it can also enhance people's luck. Of course, this is too mysterious, and it is also controversial in the Feng Shui community itself... Uh, ahem, Sorry, sorry, I can’t seem to hold it in anymore.”
I saw Lu Ping's eyes widened and his expression was dull, so I quickly stopped talking.
And not only him, but the rest of the team members also looked at me in surprise.
Lu Ping came back to his senses.
"Brother Wu! You, you still know the art of Feng Shui?!"
I touched the tip of my nose and could only nod in reply.
"Well, I understand a little bit."
Actually, I don’t want to be too high-profile.
Originally, there was a Feng Shui master in the team - this was Lu Ping's value and role in the team.
In this case, there is no need for me to show that I know Feng Shui.
It would seem a bit too strong, and it might make Lu Ping feel a little uncomfortable.
But I never expected that I am so familiar with the art of Feng Shui! It's as familiar as the instinct of the body...
After all, the first two magic books that Master asked me to memorize and recite were the "House Sutra" and "Burial Sutra" on Feng Shui. He learned it earlier than Fu Lu Taoism!
It’s just that the master said that she is not very interested in Feng Shui, but because it is her “family inheritance”, so according to the rules, I, the apprentice, must be familiar with it first. It doesn’t matter if you want to delve into it later or not.
But after all, Feng Shui is one of the techniques I am best at.
So when he heard Lu Ping talk about the Feng Shui pattern, he just opened his mouth and picked it up without thinking.
It’s a little embarrassing!
Lu Ping looked at me and said with surprise and confusion.
"Brother Wu, are you practitioners of the talisman lineage also willing to learn Feng Shui? I heard that among the major orthodox Taoist sects, only talisman, alchemy, formations, and weapon refining are the mainstream. Feng shui seems not to be valued? "
What he said does make sense. I also heard that among the major Taoist sects, Feng Shui is actually not a mainstream method - because those who practice it pay more attention to the world!
It's just that among ordinary people in the secular world, the art of Feng Shui is very valued.
I can only explain again, saying that I am not a disciple of the Taoist sect, but should be the inheritor of the folk dharma lineage. So while learning the art of talismans, I also learned the art of Feng Shui.
Lu Ping didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What do you mean it should be a folk dharma lineage?"
I couldn't laugh or cry either.
"That... I'm familiar with everyone, and I'm not afraid to say it. Because I don't know whether my master is a private cultivator or a member of a famous sect. She didn't tell me either."
I see!
Lu Ping nodded.
"Then this makes sense. Some very powerful masters are really unwilling to reveal their identity and origin. Even if they take on apprentices outside, they will not tell them until the time is right. By the way, Mr. Wu. , which [Book of Feng Shui] did you learn from in terms of Feng Shui? I want to talk to you..."
Ahem!
At this time, Yuan Changhai next to him joked.
"Sorry, I have to interrupt the communication between the two cultivators. But now the treasure hunt is more important. Master Lu should talk to Brother Wu afterwards, right?"
"Oh! Look at me..."
Lu Ping slapped his forehead.
"When I talked about Feng Shui, I almost forgot about the real thing. We have to look for the legendary place where wild ginseng grows!"
As he spoke, he began to take out some things from his pocket...
