Chapter 7: The Tomb of Nagumo (Seal)
???The sky just revealed the whiteness of the fish belly. The light shone through the thick clouds, disturbing Jingyi's small mountain village. Eighth Master had a light sleep and woke up early to exercise in the yard.
There is no reason to have a good body, and so is Gu Li. He accompanied the eighth master to punch. After I got up and washed up, a group of people rushed out. It turned out that he heard that we were going to enter the mountain. The old woman found a wizard from the village to pray for us. May the mountain god bless us with peace along the way!
After a complicated ceremony, we were able to finish breakfast and then carry our equipment to the mountains. The villagers told us that most of the herbs were concentrated in the south in the past, and if we could not go in the north, we should not go.
I must be worried about where the old Taoist went, and where we went, we fell into the Taoist.
We nodded and responded, carrying things on our backs to the south. Not far away were mountains, dense forests stacked, and we couldn't even see ten meters straight at first glance.
The Eighth Master brought a hatchet and walked in front of me. I was in the middle, and the Guli Palace, Xiaoyao was not very adapted to the forest temperature and his face was a little bad, but he had to grit his teeth and hold on because of his face.
There are many weeds on the edge, and when walking about a hundred meters, the terrain begins to steeply. At the same time, the weeds gradually become sparse, and black soil formed by rotten leaves begins to appear under your feet.
I know that the sun is rising outside, but it is so cloudy that it is depressing that the thick tree canopy will not let a trace of sunlight leak in.
The feet were covered with wet soil. Fortunately, there was a karst landform in Nanyun, and the terrain rose very quickly, so I walked about a few hundred meters and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was still very cloudy, at least I could see the color of the sky.
We walked along the road that was opened in the village in the early years. Although we couldn't see clearly, at least there were some blurry traces and it was not too difficult to walk.
Eighth Master handed the hatchet to Gu Li, and he was the one who did the coolie. He took out a small and exquisite compass and waved the pointer of the compass. Seeing that it was rotating back and forth, Eighth Master frowned and said, "Brother Mo, the magnetic field here is very large, and it seems that he has to use Feng Shui positioning."
"Are you talking about geoscience?"
Xiaoyao hurriedly said, and the Eighth Master nodded and said yes, but I didn't agree, because we didn't have a high terrain and could not use geoscience to position it.
"Go ahead and take a look at the highest point"
I said something, Gu Li nodded and continued to slash forward with his hatchet. We walked windingly and finally climbed up to the higher mountain ahead. Looking at it, there was a vast green area in front of us, and a thousand miles of forests were everywhere.
"No, even if we have positioned this terrain, we may not find the way when we go down the forest."
The Eighth Master spoke first.
What he was worried about was what I was worried about. The forest line was too long and we couldn't tell the roughly from our place, so even if we found the position above, we might not be able to find the direction once we went down.
Because it is a karst landform, not a plain, the two-point fixed line here is useless.
I looked at the terrain carefully and settled for almost half an hour before I felt happy and said, "It's okay, you see the winding and undulating mountains, gradually rising from south to north. It is undoubtedly a Panlong Vein. The characteristic of Panlong Vein is that the dragon tail starts from the south and the dragon head falls in the north. So as long as we find the highest mountain nearby, it must be the entrance to the tomb."
Upon hearing this, the three of them hurriedly watched from side to side, and Xiaoyao pointed to a higher mountain in the distance and said, "Where?"
I looked around and saw that the mountain was the highest and beautiful, and it was very likely that it was, but everything was still guessed and it was to be tested.
"We go along the forest line and you will know wherever we go."
Whether it is the faucet position or not, we have to go wherever we go, because there is a higher supreme point.
From where to see, we can see the broad vision ahead more clearly. We continued to go on the road, and this time it was much easier than before. In addition, we saw the sun above our heads, so we were also convenient to position.
Eighth Master fiddled with his compass, but that guy was like a strike, saying it would not work, and it would definitely not take any effect.
In the end, the Eighth Master had no choice but to stuff him into his bag, and then rushed over two hills. The trees began to grow and weeds were flooded. Every time we moved forward for a distance, we had to spend the same or even more to open the way.
After finally reaching the corner of the mountain, I was already sweating profusely, and Xiaoyao was even more miserable by the forest temperature.
We met a stream at the corner of the mountain. We originally planned to make some supplies, but I reached out to grab a handful and sniffed it. I frowned and said, "Barrel Water"
"It doesn't make sense. You see, this water is flowing, so there is little possibility of stagnant water."
Xiaoyao immediately retorted.
But I shook my head and said, "Although it is flowing, the source is dead, no matter how it flows, it will be stagnant water."
When Xiaoyao heard this, he bent down without believing in evil, and also took a handful of fishing. He saw the nose and smelled it. He immediately turned pale and his eyebrows were almost squeezed into a pile.
"You really, you're so stinking!"
He said with a ugly expression and quickly patted his hand, but the stench had already stuck, like a possessed maggot.
"It's really weird. You see, the water is so clear, but the water is stagnant."
The eighth master said curiously.
Not only him, I was also very curious and surprised. Generally, the stagnant water is black or blood-red, but this stream is clear and sparkling when it flows.
"Justice Jiu, look at this"
Gu Li suddenly walked on the side. There was a small puddle of water where he was standing. When we heard this, we immediately turned our eyes to see that there were several white fish swimming in the puddle.
It was the first time I saw a fish in such a smelly water. I broke a small branch and stretched it in. The fish was very aggressive. As soon as the branches entered, the fish immediately surrounded and bit it.
They are extremely aggressive and have a very strong bite force. In a few strokes, a small piece of branches I reached into were missing.
"If this thing is bigger, it will not happen in a minute if the person falls in."
Xiaoyao cursed, and suddenly a strange noise came from the stream. Gu Li reacted the fastest and decisively reached out. The military knife in his hand pierced out. The next second, a big white fish of about half a pound was inserted into the tip of the knife. Its sharp teeth were all over. Although it was pierced by Gu Li, it still kept opening and closing its mouth.
“The big one is out”
Guli threw the fish on the shore.
Xiaoyao looked at the big fish that was still shaking, swallowed a mouthful of water, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down.
Eighth Master and I were not very good-looking. I expected a big fish, but what I didn't expect was that big.
"There should be a larger pool of water above, otherwise this stream cannot raise such a big fish. Let's cross the river first and then go up."
Due to the terrain, the direction of the water flowing down is exactly the peak we are going to.
The Eighth Master nodded and responded, and then we jumped over the stream and walked upwards. The weeds began to become sparse. When we walked upwards, we were basically all exposed rocks, and the range of the stream began to expand, and we were divided into two streams at one stone entrance.
Another one flowed to the north. I looked at the woods not far ahead and walked with them for nearly a hundred meters. The front suddenly became wide open, and a huge pool of water appeared in our eyes.
Through the clear water, you can see groups of white fish swimming around in the water. When they are not moving, it feels like they are portrayed on a transparent canvas.
"You look ahead"
Xiaoyao suddenly said, following the direction he pointed, we turned our eyes to see a stone tablet that was as high as five or six meters in front of it. There was no font carved on it, it was a stone wall without words. I ran over, looked around the stone tablet, and then lowered my body and flipped in the grass. When I turned out the red line, I knew that the stone tablet without words in front of me was a huge Taoist formation stone used to seal evil things.
