A shallow dish of water.
A dry ball of straw.
A red string.
If you look carefully, you will find that there are various azimuth scales on the bottom and inner wall of the circular water dish. Like some kind of special compass.
In fact, this is not surprising. The inheritance of folk dharma is not like that of famous sects. Strict transmission from generation to generation requires the orthodoxy to remain unchanged. Instead, various changes will be made based on the understanding of different generations of descendants... This has also led to countless folk dharma lines!
After all, several apprentices from one master may soon become different dharma lineages.
Of course, this also has advantages, that is, constant changes and constant innovation.
Lu Ping's compass, which has a depression in the middle that resembles a water plate, is probably a special method.
"Uncle Yuan, give me a piece of Changbai Mountain wild ginseng beard."
Lu Ping looked at Yuan Changhai.
The latter silently took out a thin ginseng tendril from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Here, brother Lu, come on."
"Uncle Yuan, don't worry."
As he spoke, Lu Ping used the short thin red rope to tie together the ginseng stubs that Yuan Changhai had given him and the dry straw, and put them into the shallow metal water dish. Then use a lighter to light the straw...
call!
A bright orange flame appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
After a while, there was only a small black ashes left in the water dish.
Lu Ping took a big drink of water, then spit it into the water dish. Repeat this three times until the shallow water dish is half full, and the ashes of burned straw and ginseng tendrils float on the water.
He was holding the water plate with one hand in his left hand, and the index and middle fingers of his right hand were stretched out together to make quick gestures, while he was mumbling words...
Suddenly!
I felt a mysterious aura emanating from the water plate and extending into the distance, as if there was a connection with somewhere very far away.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart.
"Folk magic also has its wonders. Although Brother Lu has developed Qi sense, it is still relatively weak. His method is obviously some kind of tracking or exploration method. It does not require Qi to join, but through specific rituals and his own Mental connection can produce an effect similar to the [Tracking Spell], which is really magical."
This reminds me of the time when I was in Two Rivers Town, where corpse fishers and coffin bearers had many similar tricks. There is no need to use [Qi] to operate and take effect, it can be achieved only with specific rituals...
So from a certain perspective, Taoist sects and folk sects have their own merits.
Of course, if you want to stand at a higher level, the folk dharma lineage may be insufficient. As my cultivation level has improved over the years, I have gradually come to realize this, so I am even more curious about Master’s identity and where it comes from?
And neither Sun Wukong nor Zhao Feifeng wanted to tell me...
"Quickly, as I wish! Start!"
Lu Ping's shout interrupted my thoughts and brought me back to my senses.
Look intently into the water dish.
I saw that the ashes that were originally floating on the water were all gathered together at this time, as if controlled by some invisible force. It turned into the shape of a long black needle, slowly turning on its own in the water.
Finally, the "needle tip" pointed in a certain direction to the northeast.
Lu Ping took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Everyone, luckily you have lived up to your mission. We have successfully found the legendary place where ginseng grows. Everything goes well!"
good!
Wang Lei waved his fist fiercely and took the lead in cheering. The rest of the team members also applauded or cheered.
I also marveled, applauded and applauded!
Although in fact, if I spend some [True Qi] to cast a more powerful tracking spell, I can achieve the effect more quickly and conveniently. But for this kind of thing, there’s no need to force the limelight, right?
After all, they all reach the same goal through different paths. As long as they can find the place where wild ginseng gathers and grows, it is not something else that Lu Ping cannot do.
I could clearly feel that after receiving my compliment, Lu Ping's eyes flashed with more excitement and joy.
"Okay, let's get ready to go! Follow Lao Lu's direction and let's go."
So, everyone went down the hill and started on their way...
After having a clear goal, the team's emotions became high.
About half an hour later, the surrounding forest became increasingly dense and dense, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.
I can clearly feel that the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy here is extremely high! And as we go deeper, it continues to improve, several times that of the outside!
Especially the aura of vegetation is incredibly rich. Taking a deep breath, you can feel the refreshing and sweet taste.
Even ordinary people like Du Changmao and Li Shuiwang felt that breathing here was fresh and refreshing.
Lu Ping held the water plate with a surprised tone.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is so rich! It can almost be ranked among the top five areas we have encountered in Changbai Mountain over the years. If we practice here, I estimate that we can reach the point of [Releasing True Qi] within three to five years. "
Of course, this is just talk, and he can't stay here alone.
I looked around.
"With such a rich vegetation essence, this place must be very suitable for the growth of various spiritual herbs and elixirs. It seems that we have almost reached our destination."
Lu Ping looked at the direction of the long ash needle in the water dish in his hand and nodded vigorously.
"The rumored place where wild ginseng grows is within a mile ahead! Let's speed up."
The rest of the team members also felt energetic.
Unexpectedly, he went another two to three hundred meters further.
Sudden!
There was a dull thud.
The long needle of ashes in the water dish in Lu Ping's hand exploded, and the water in the dish also splashed out.
The black dust and water smeared Lu Ping's face!
His face was covered in black, and he looked very embarrassed and funny.
what happened? !
It wasn't just Lu Ping who was confused, everyone was stunned.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at their destination, something unexpected happened.
I frowned.
In fact, at that moment, I suddenly felt a mysterious breath emerging from the void. Head straight for Lu Ping!
Because although this aura is mysterious and quick, it does not have a strong sinister aura, nor does it have any murderous intent. So I didn’t try my best when I wanted to defend.
Because of this, he was a step slower and did not have time to stop the mysterious aura. It directly resonated with the ashes of wild ginseng, straw, and red rope, causing it to explode completely and lose its own ability...
From my personal observation point of view, this is more like a tease and a warning!
Everyone else looked at Lu Ping, but he looked a little panicked.
I patted Lu Ping on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Don't panic, let me see what's going on."
