Chapter 314 The Twelve Dragons of Yongrui

As the old saying goes, it is difficult to draw a dragon or a tiger, but it is difficult to draw a human body.

A person is obviously smiling brightly at you, but what you really feel is that you are sweating profusely and scared to the core.

The brothers felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy at first, but when they saw it was Xiao Meng, not only did they not relax, but the indescribable feeling of disobedience became even stronger.

Among them, Zhao Sanyuan's face was the ugliest.

Is there something wrong with my ears like Lao Liu?
Or is it that the corpse hunter makes no damn sound when he walks?

Did he hear the conversation in the house just now?
The smile on Xiao Meng's face was bright and sunny. He reminded kindly: "I forgot to mention something just now. If it is not necessary at night, please try not to go out. Recently, the wild beasts in the mountains are always coming out to look for food. If you are caught, If you take it away and eat it, you won’t even find the whole body.”

"It's clear, we humans are having a hard time, and bobcats and beasts are even worse. Don't worry, we won't wander around at night." Lao Liu responded with the most harmless smile he could muster.

After explaining a few words, Xiao Meng smiled and nodded, "It's better to bring in the luggage in the yard as soon as possible. If you are too tired, I can do it for you so that it doesn't get damaged by the mud and water."

Zhao Sanyuan pricked up his ears and stared, and could clearly feel Xiao Meng's leaving footsteps.

Under the chaotic and complicated wind and water, did the villagers of Nanyue Village also have problems with their five senses?
Inside the house, the brothers gathered around the donkey and observed it, repeatedly confirming whether it was a donkey. Only then did they discover that the old bell under the donkey's neck had been replaced by a Bagua mirror.

"Master, have you noticed something? Stop hiding it. My brothers are so confused that they still have no clue."

About 20% of the convex mirror surface had small cracks, and they were slowly spreading outward.

Only stiff asses!

Anyone who is not stupid knows that there is a big problem in this remote mountain village. It is unclear whether it has anything to do with the previous red and white collision, but the scholar feels that there must be inextricably linked.

"One word, get out. I finally had a good dream. Why don't you shake your legs?"

In fact, no, not one at all, not to mention out of curiosity, not even the naughty children came around to point.

At first, Zhao Sanyuan thought that the people in Nanyue Village were very polite, but now it turns out that they didn't notice the donkey at all. Strictly speaking, they regarded the donkey as a large piece of luggage.

But it's not the weirdest, only weirder.

Familiar recipe, familiar taste, feeling that the master was getting angry and wanted to take action, Zhao Sanyuan immediately jumped off the earthen bed to stay as far away as possible and slipped away.

Xiao Meng, is there something wrong with his eyes? Even a man who doesn’t wear glasses wouldn’t call a donkey a big piece of luggage, right?
"Don't think about it, move the donkey into the house first!" Zhao Sanyuan shouted in a low voice. He had sensed something was wrong before. Logically speaking, they are all donkey and camel people. How could anyone drag the donkey away? The donkey was still stiff and stretched out its legs. It will definitely attract a lot of attention.

After repeated careful observations, Lao Kang came to the conclusion, "It must have been done by the master. Look at the spell array above, it is the Twelve Dragons of Yongrui. Only he can write this kind of rhyme. It seems that the donkey suddenly lost control at that time." It was Master’s fault to rush out.”

So much luggage in the yard?

"Then tell me why you hung the Bagua mirror on the donkey's neck? You also painted the twelve Yongrui dragons. You haven't even taught me this trick."

Zhao Sanyuan clutched his lower back. He still felt a faint pain from being gored by the donkey before. He couldn't bear it anymore and climbed onto the earthen bed to shake Mo Wenshan's shoulders.

The scholar rubbed his temples and tried to make his thoughts clearer, "What should I say? Do you really follow the hexagram and follow the trend, or do you find an excuse to leave Nanyue Village?"

Various combinations can be arranged on various magical instruments, and each one has different characteristics. The twelve dragon patterns on this Bagua mirror guard the mirror surface, forming a dew-rich gold plate. Its function is to consolidate the potential and acupuncture points, and transform some particularly serious Feng Shui. Disruption.

But now that things have developed, the mentality of the brothers has changed a lot, especially after knowing that Xiao Meng and the villagers can't see the donkey. Combined with the previous doubts, it can at least prove that there must be something between them. There is a big problem with one's five senses. Rather than doubting themselves, the brothers are more willing to believe in themselves.

Where the hell is there luggage in the yard?

Annoyed by his little apprentice's hob meat, Mo Wenshan turned around and said angrily: "Didn't you say that the village's feng shui has the same problem as outside? It's made of trees and rocks. I thought that since there is evil, then Just break it down and teach you? Come on, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

The twelve dragons are a very complex concept in Kanyu Feng Shui, and the twelve dragons of Yongrui are arranged based on this. They are Shenglong, Fulong, Feilong, Yinglong, Panlong, Wolong, Qianlong, Yang Dragon, angry dragon, phantom dragon, wandering dragon, defeated dragon.

Looking at the master who was sleeping soundly on the earthen bed, Lao Kang replied: "Even if we leave, who can be sure that we won't encounter red and white collisions again? We don't know how chaotic the Feng Shui was when we came. If we can’t find the problem, we most likely won’t be able to get around it, and besides, we need this place to recover our strength.”

Old Liu, who always seeks stability, holds the same opinion, "If, I mean, if there is really a big problem in Nanyue Village, but we don't know the source of the problem, it is not safe to make a hasty choice. I agree to stay here first, so what?" You also need to eat and drink well and have a good sleep, right?”

There are still words left unsaid. What Lao Liu is thinking is that if the problem is the entire Nanyue Village, and the two brothers play a trick of inviting you to the urn, then it doesn't matter. Showing the harmlessness of humans and animals can scare them for a while. Yes, if the problem occurs elsewhere and the Nanyue villagers are affected, then for the sake of taking them in, the brothers will have to work hard to solve the problem.

"Too passive."

Zhao Sanyuan neither agreed nor refused. He first asked Lao Kang a question.

"What's the reason why the convex surface of the Bagua mirror on the donkey's neck slowly cracked? Is it related to the bad Feng Shui in Nanyue Village?"

"Yes, this trick has no effect on ordinary evil spirits. It only works when encountering heavy evil spirits. The reason why the mirror is cracked is because it wedges into the great feng shui and pushes the evil spirits back. The great feng shui in Nanyue Village is already chaotic. After adding chaos and causing internal friction, many small Feng Shui under the big Feng Shui cover may return to normal, and then use dots and lines to smooth out the big Feng Shui. However, this method is time-limited, even if the master uses Yong Rui The Twelve Dragons also have a time limit, which is when the mirror is completely shattered. "

The principle sounds very simple, but Lao Kang knows very well how powerful the master's trick is.

Can great Feng Shui be easily changed by human effort?
Maybe you can bulldoze a mountain or fill up a river, but the general trend in many places will not be changed just like that. You can even build a temple on a mass grave, but what can you do? You can change the appearance, but you can't change the earth's winds, wind, rain, yin and yang.

Therefore, Mo Wenshan was able to compete with the great Feng Shui of the world with a piece of Bagua mirror, which showed his strength. Lao Kang had learned this trick before, but he thought he had only learned 30% of the essence.

After Zhao Sanyuan pondered for a while, he gave a more specific action plan.

"I can't sleep because the initiative is not in my own hands. No matter what happens, let's take action first. Taking advantage of Master's fight, let's work in pairs. Don't act alone. The two of us will investigate the outside of the Yan family to see if there are any The way to get around the chaotic Feng Shui Bureau is for the two of them to investigate the inside of the Yan family and take a look at the old man. I'm not worried about him sleeping here alone. It's best if there is no problem. Let's leave tomorrow. If there is any problem, we will talk about it. "

The brothers all know that I am a resolute activist. He is always the one who decides the direction and makes plans. It has been proven countless times that I have the brightest mind, as long as I don't get ahead of myself. "What's the time? When should we act? It's getting dark soon. Didn't Xiao Meng tell us not to go out at night?"

Zhao Sanyuan grinned, "Why don't you farm after hearing the cries of crickets? Wild beasts will not go down the mountain in broad daylight. People are afraid of being eaten, and they are even more afraid of being eaten. However, there are dozens of mountains in the mountains closest to Nanyue Village. Li Di, what wild bobcat can travel so far and accurately come to Nanyue Village to eat people? So, Xiao Meng is lying, he doesn’t want us to go out at night.”

Lu Xiucai laughed evilly along with him and said: "Hey~ The more you try to fool us into not letting us do it, the more you want to do it, and you have to go out at night to have a look."

Night falls quickly.

Although the continuous heavy rain has stopped, it has not completely cleared up yet, and the humidity in the air seems to be very high. After wiping away the water stains on my body, it didn't take long for me to feel wet again, which was very uncomfortable.

The place to have dinner is in the main hall. I wonder if I bought too many red candles. Before the new wife came through, red candles as thick as a baby’s arm were lit here. It looked quite festive, but if you feel it carefully, it doesn’t feel right. Comfortable.

The old couple from the Yan family didn't come, saying they were feeling a little unwell and had to rest first, leaving Yan Song to entertain the guests. Mo Wenshan didn't attend either, and just found an excuse to excuse themselves.

Without the elders, the atmosphere at the dinner table was more harmonious than imagined.

Although Yan Song looked tired and looked quite bad, he was very talkative and had a wide range of knowledge. After talking with him carefully, he realized that he, like the scholar, was a top student who graduated from university.

The emergence of college students in the small Nanyue Village is like a golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop.

When the conversation got underway, Yan Song asked with excitement, "Everyone, have you ever heard of oracle bone inscriptions?"

This topic has a very high threshold in this era.

Even Zhao Sanyuan and Lao Liu were confused.

What kind of article is this?

Male or female?
Which village?
Very awesome?
But it is different for educated scholars and Lao Kang, who always knows a little bit. They all know that at the end of the last century, oracle bone inscriptions were first discovered and shocked many areas of the world. There was not much splash in China. After all, eating was a problem. , how many people would care about that bastard?

Oracle bone inscriptions, the known originator of Chinese characters, have an equally profound impact on metaphysics due to their unique oracle color. They are the earliest mature writing system discovered by Yan and Huang so far.

"What do you mean, Brother Yan? Do you have this big treasure in your hand? Don't hide it, open your eyes for us." Lu Xiucai was a little excited. Has he heard of oracle bone inscriptions? Let's not talk about anything else for now. , this treasure is one of the carriers that best embodies Yanhuang culture. I believe the power of words it carries after thousands of years will be quite shocking.

Yan Song sighed, "After I graduated, I went to work for the Management Committee of the Palace Museum. I was assigned to go back to my hometown to excavate oracle bones within half a year. After learning about it, I learned that there were at least 100,000 oracle bones that had been excavated privately over the past 20 years. Instead of using them, Mature equipment and teams risk digging, it is better to spend money to buy back the oracle bones scattered among the people. After many efforts, we found a lot of oracle bones, but it is a pity that they are no longer there.”

Xiucai and Lao Kang were a little disappointed, but they also knew how precious the oracle bone inscriptions were. For example, before the oracle bone inscriptions were discovered, the history of the Yan and Huang Dynasties defined by foreign academic circles was not five thousand years, or even less than four thousand years. Never mind that Whether foreign countries recognize it or not does not represent the facts. People have the final say anyway, and the emergence of Yinxu characters forced them to push back the history of Yan and Huang for another five hundred years. The history is in the same period as the myths of certain races.

As a Taoist stranger, Lao Kang was really curious about the ancient people's comments on hexagrams, and maybe he could find some inspiration.

In this topic, people with limited education can't even get a word in, and even if they want to put on a smiling face, they can't catch the rhythm.

That's right, I'm talking about Xiao Zhao and Lao Liu.

What are you talking about when you think about it? Have you forgotten the real thing?

The two of them looked at each other and felt that they were redundant, so they found an excuse to leave the table, saying that they were too sleepy and went back to sleep.

After going around a few turns and reaching the base of a dark wall, they all climbed over the wall and left Yan's house.

Although it was agreed before that groups of two are not allowed to act alone, it has not yet been decided who will cooperate with whom. There is no need to bother now. The two uneducated clowns formed a team on their own.

I looked up to check the sky and estimate the time, but at some point, dark clouds gathered above my head again, and I couldn't see the stars or the moon.

"Brother, what do you think the oracle bones look like? Can flowers grow out of a bastard's shell?"

"I haven't seen it before. It seems that it is very important to see what Lao Kang and Xiucai meant. Without it, our history would have been just over three thousand years ago. With it, it would have been almost four thousand years. Anyway, I can't understand all the bells and whistles. I I know that this thing is our root and should not be measured by money, nor should it be sold based on films. If I had the money, I would buy it back."

"What are you buying them for? If you have money, you might as well buy those things from Ouhuang's house. I really like some of the enamel colors."

"Things left by our ancestors should be cherished by our descendants. For example, the family tree and family instructions left by your old Liu family. Even if they become more valuable over time, do you dare to sell them? As long as you don't die of hunger, you have to buy them back. ah."

"I understood when you said that. It's true, I have to buy it back." Old Liu Shen agreed, "But not everyone values ​​​​this kind of thing. I did something for nothing before, but later my son learned to pretend to be his father. After picking up the big leak in the coffin, he dug it out and sold it. He used a straw to roll up the body and buried it in a hurry to sell the coffin. Are you angry or not? Brother, why don't you say anything?"

Zhao Sanyuan, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, stopped and asked in a very soft voice, "Brother Liu, take out your pocket watch and see what time it is."

"It's past seven o'clock, what's wrong?"

"It's just the beginning of the winter. Why don't every house have any light? The continuous heavy rain has just stopped. There is no need to rest early to prepare for the next day's farming. Why are they going to bed so early?"

After being reminded, Lao Liu also realized the problem.

Originally, there was not much moonlight and starlight under the dark clouds. Now, every single house seen in the village has no light at all. It is like a bottomless pit of pitch black swallowing everything.

Lao Liu swallowed his saliva.

Not only was there no light, there was also no sound.

Not to mention snoring, there was not even the chirping of insects on a summer night.
