: Xuanwu’s House Patrol

The goal has been set, but due to physical reasons, Brother Yaozi and I were unable to hit the road for a while, so we simply stayed at Shen Laowu's house and made some preparations intensively.

The tools and other tools that need to be used have been fully prepared when I came out of the Zhenwu Temple. However, the local geography and hydrology need to be studied and figured out. This is also my main job.

All the information was obtained by Shen Laowu using his own connections, and he personally delivered it. I was busy checking the information and didn't pay much attention to him. I just asked him to put the information down, until one time I suddenly looked up.

, seeing Shen Laowu's expression of constipation that was hesitant to speak, he vaguely came back to his senses - it seems that the frequency of this guy's sending information is too high, right?

I put down the book and map in my hand, turned around and asked him with a smile: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"this……"

Shen Laowu rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, you are busy, and this trip must be dangerous. I didn't want to trouble you because of this trip, but after thinking about it, I felt that

It’s always not peaceful…”

I waved my hand and said, brother, please stop saying these roundabout polite words. If you have something to say, just say it directly.

Shen Laowu asked me coyly, what will he do after we leave?

Only then did I understand that he was worried that the Golden Toad would come back and harm his family after we left!

"I know, I know, this matter will definitely embarrass you, brother."

Shen Laowu said hurriedly: "After all, you have to take risks to do things. If you still have people left to protect me, it will be even more dangerous if the power is dispersed, but..."

It's not that I haven't thought about this. Seeing that he was a little incoherent, I interrupted him and said: "Brother, you are overly concerned. The Protector Golden Toad is just a slave who works for the dead. Let's go and get it."

Even if it is waiting for death, it has to stand there and wait there. If it cannot escape, there is no way you will be in danger."

Shen Laowu opened his mouth, but finally had nothing to say and sighed.

Seeing this, I thought about it and said, "But if you are really scared, brother, I have a way to protect you without having to leave anyone behind."

Shen Laowu was a little disappointed, but with the mentality that something is better than nothing, he still asked: "Teach me how to do it!"

After thinking about it for a while, I slowly said: "This matter is actually simple. In the final analysis, the Golden Toad is just a toad with three legs. It is just concocted by special means. It can be understood as a toad that has become a climate."

Demon.

If you provoke something like a demon, if you don't intend to kill it, but just want to protect yourself, it is easier. At least it is easier to deal with than if you provoke evil spirits such as ghosts. In short, raising a house to protect yourself is just a matter of time.

alright.

Let's put it this way, the demon is a beast. When beasts live in the world, there is always a carnivorous chain to control them. Some things suppress it by nature. You can raise something at home that can suppress it.

That’s fine, at least it will keep you safe for a while.”

I felt that I had explained it as simply as possible. When Shen Laowu blinked and still didn't understand, I gave up the explanation and asked instead: "Tell me, what preys on toads?"

Shen Laowu opened his mouth and said: "Owl?"

I almost passed him without a breath, so I resisted the urge to punch him, and said patiently: "First of all, it is difficult for owls to deal with the poison on toads, so they are basically not good at preying on toads. Secondly, owls are not very good at preying on toads.

Things are also called ghosts and mourning birds. When you are attacked by evil things, will a mourning bird at home keep you safe?"

Shen Laowu scratched his bald head in embarrassment: "Brother, don't test me, just tell me what I should do?"

"Raise a turtle!"

After thinking about it again and again, because Shen Laowu has too many bad attributes, I had to elaborate: "Remember, if you want a money turtle, don't get a snapping turtle. This thing is not greedy for bigness and ferocity."

, and it should be a male, not a female, preferably one whose whole body has turned jet black!"

This is actually the most basic thing to pay attention to when raising Feng Shui turtles. It is good for Feng Shui, but it is not very useful in warding off evil spirits in the house. Naturally, what I have to do is not that simple. I prescribed a prescription, mostly herbal medicines, the most important of which is feng shui.

It's the three flavors of white-haired snake, dragon scale grass, and white flower bark. Many pharmacies can prepare it. Let Shen Laowu buy it, and then use thin hemp rope, preferably rubbed by his own hands, and put it on the

Soak it in potion, dry it in the sun and then tie it to the body of the Feng Shui turtle and leave it alone in the living room. In this case, the Feng Shui turtle is no longer a Feng Shui turtle and is called Xuanwu Xuanwu.

It's just that this method of guarding the house by embodying the Four Symbols is overbearing and cannot be used for a long time. Ordinary people cannot control it. Sooner or later, they will be hurt by the violence. However, it can be used to protect the house for a short period of time, and it is also very useful.

Guang, not only provokes mountain spirits and monsters, but also can maintain peace for a while even if it is entangled by ghosts and ghosts.

Shen Laowu was afraid that he would not be able to remember, so he took a pen and paper and wrote down the process in detail, and then ran away in a hurry.

I smiled and shook my head and ignored it, but when the man drove a van into the villa, I took a look at the situation in the car and was speechless.

There are all big square tanks inside, and the ones in the tanks are money turtles. Looking at that head, they are probably very expensive.

I said just one Xuanwu Xuanwu is enough. What's the matter with dozens of them? You're not afraid that the heavenly soldiers and generals will crush you to death!

Shen Laowu smiled and said it was okay, he would just keep one, but wasn't he a big family? Trying to get one from each of his relatives and friends, so that there would be nothing the Protector Golden Toad could do.

I especially want to tell him - this is Guangdong!!

Cantonese people love to eat, know how to eat, dare to eat, and are famous all over the world!!

If you get so much money and send it over, that's not...

After all, not everyone believes this, and you can’t force this kind of thing!

I dare say that few of these dozens of money turtles will survive the sunset tomorrow...

But I couldn't comment on Shen Laowu's measures to seek peace of mind, so I simply let him do the rest.

After recuperating for nearly two days, Brother Yaozi and I are almost in good health. There are only some bloodshot eyes and the inflammation of the cornea has not been completely dissipated, but it is no longer a serious problem. After some discussion, a few people decided,

Went into the mountains on a misty morning.

Shuijiankou, which Shen Nan mentioned many times, is not a strange place to us. Last time we went into the mountains, we passed by it. The stream was clear and very clean. Several people even stopped there to wash their faces and rest.

For a while, the place we were in was just downstream, and it was still nearly ten miles away from the upstream. But after all, it was a road we had walked and we were relatively familiar with it. After entering the mountain, we didn’t need to look around and just went straight there. Speed.

It was much faster than last time. I only slept in the wild for one night and found the creek the next day.

Brother Yaozi suggested that we should mainly look for the robber caves left by Tieguai Li's gang, which is only about ten miles away. It's not as dangerous as those in the real deep mountains and old forests. It's just a matter of childishness.

He and Ling Ying needed to be together, and the others all spread out to search, and the search was faster.

Lao Bai nodded and said that this method is quite reliable and the chance of finding it is not small, but it doesn't get Brother Yaozi's good looks.

Of course I understand what they are saying. A thief's cave is not big, it is just a hole, not much different from the mouth of a wolf's den. Looking for such a hole in an area that stretches for nearly ten miles sounds like finding a needle in a haystack.

The difference, in fact, is not the case. To open a robbery hole, you need to transport soil. The smart people will not gather in one place, but are mostly scattered. There is some exquisiteness in this. If you are an expert, it is not difficult to find it.

I have been reading the geography and hydrology for several days in a row, and I know the geography of this place very well. I actually had a guess in my mind, but in the end it was just a guess. There is still a distance to the upstream, so we might as well spread out and search first.

It was also convenient for me to confirm my guess, so I agreed with Brother Yaozi. After eating some dry food and resting, we agreed on a meeting place and the few of us dispersed.

The detection instrument is a very small thing, not much bigger than a flashlight. I don't know the exact value. The person in charge of tinkering with these is Brother Yaozi.

We separated around eight or nine o'clock in the morning. The agreed meeting place was about four miles up the stream. This interval was agreed upon by Brother Yaozi and the others. It was more reasonable. In this way, even if it was all the way

After three or four days of searching, we were able to find the mouth of the water stream.

I was responsible for the narrow area next to the stream. This was also what I asked for. I did not rush to find the covering soil. Instead, I took off my shoes, rolled up my pants and jumped into the stream. I slowly examined the pebbles in the river without deliberately

They were looking for earth coverings or something. The search speed was probably the slowest among the group. They arrived at the agreed meeting point when it was dark. At this time, Brother Yaozi and the others had already gathered together, picked up dry branches and built a bonfire by the river, roasting them.

Bring dry food with you.

When he saw me carrying my backpack and shoes and walking up the river, Brother Yaozi immediately laughed and scolded me: "You are a person who knows how to find comfort, and you actually jumped into the river to play in the water. We were just muttering about you.

You haven’t arrived for a long time. Did something happen? Wushuang is ready to find you!"

Comfortable?

I curled my lips, try diving and walking in the water for a day!

I took off my backpack and threw it to them, and then I felt my way to the shore. Because I had been running in the water for so long, I almost lost all feeling in my legs and feet. Until I stretched my wrinkled and white legs and feet to the campfire to roast them, I felt

A touch of warmth made me feel more comfortable.

Brother Yaozi threw the bag of liquor to me. I opened it and took two sips. I shivered comfortably and exhaled the smell of alcohol. Then I asked: "You have been searching all day today. Have you found anything?"

"No, but that's normal."

Brother Yaozi said: "We are searching from the downstream to the upstream. There is a higher chance that Liu Yuan's tomb is closer to the upstream. Don't be discouraged if you don't get anything on the first day. We will continue tomorrow."

"No need!"

I shook my head: "Although I haven't checked everything, the lack of harvest on the first day is enough for me to confirm my guess. We don't need to search separately. If I guessed correctly, there is no such thing as a hole."

The search is in vain!"
