Wang Cheng and his companions glanced at Du Qiang curiously, but their attention was soon attracted by the team behind him who were wearing white scientific research uniforms and carrying boxes.

"What do this group of people do?" Wang Siqi asked quietly, lowering his voice.

Wang Cheng shook his head slightly, but he was keenly aware that this team seemed to be looking at the three of them, their eyes full of inquiry.

"It's not simple..." Wang Cheng couldn't tell where this judgment came from, but the eye contact between the two sides made him feel something was wrong.

At this time, Chen Shu pulled Du Qiang aside and asked in a low voice: "Captain Du, what's going on?"

Du Qiang was also stunned: "I was just about to ask you, who are they? Are they from your Security Department?"

Chen Shu quickly shook his head: "No, they are the helpers our director invited to investigate Fengmen Village. They are from a department called Jiumen Fengshui Bureau."

Du Qiang looked at Wang Cheng and the others with a serious look. He nodded slightly. Although he had never heard of this department, he knew that it was the helpers from the Security Department, so he was sure it was right. Therefore, his attitude became much more respectful.

Chen Shu glanced at the team of researchers and asked curiously, "Captain Du, what about them? What do they do?"

Du Qiang hurriedly explained: "They are from the Jidu Research Center, and they are here to conduct scientific surveys. They are also helping us solve the Fengmen Village case from a professional perspective. They suspect that Fengmen Village may involve some problems such as magnetic field changes, which I know nothing about. Our provincial department is responsible for receiving them and coordinating their actions. I didn't expect to run into you here."

After a brief exchange, the two finally understood each other's intentions. Since they had the same purpose, there was nothing to hide.

But when Du Qiang returned to the researchers, the leader stopped him and asked, "Who are those young people in various clothes? Why is there a Taoist priest among them?"

Facing the leader's question, Du Qiang quickly explained with a smile: "Professor Liu, they are investigators sent by the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau. It does not conflict with our purpose, and they also want to go to Fengmen Village to investigate. I have worked with Team Leader Chen before, so I know him well."

Du Qiang didn't notice that when he mentioned the words "Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau", both the leading scientist and the staff behind him looked at each other with a strange look. However, even if Du Qiang noticed it, he had no right to ask.

This is why Du Qiang was reluctant to take the job. It is not an exaggeration to say that this team should be treated like ancestors. Even the director of the department attaches great importance to it, let alone him, a team leader.

Soon, Du Qiang walked to the front to lead the way, while the people behind him began to discuss in low voices.

"Team leader, are they the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau that handled the Demon City incident?"

"She doesn't look anything special, and she's wearing something weird, which is too ostentatious."

"Why are they here? Do the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau also want to get involved?"

Obviously, this scientific research team is the action group of the Astronomical Bureau. They intervened in the case of Fengmen Village as a scientific research team and secretly carried out a series of investigations under this identity.

But the team leader Liu An never expected that he would encounter the Nine-Gate Feng Shui Bureau here. But on second thought, Liu An felt that this was not a bad thing. Instead, he could take this opportunity to observe the legendary Nine-Gate Feng Shui Bureau up close and see what it was capable of.

After all, when we talked about the Nine-Gate Feng Shui Bureau before, the attitude of the above was very clear, that is, to pay attention to it first. If you really have the ability, maybe you can incorporate the Nine-Gate Feng Shui Bureau into the Stargazing Bureau.

Now, this is a rare opportunity. If we are also investigating the case of Fengmen Village, we might as well take this opportunity to pay attention to it.

Therefore, Liu An quickly interrupted the discussion of the team members: "Stop talking, and pay more attention to them from now on. The fact that they were able to solve the Magic City incident shows that the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau is definitely not in vain, and they are probably quite capable. However, I doubt whether their unconventional methods can handle a more complicated situation like Fengmen Village."

Liu An's words also showed his attitude towards the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. Upon hearing this, the other team members also shut up.

The two teams, each with their own ideas, walked on the same road. Their goal was the nearby Fengmen Village. But there seemed to be a film between them. Although they were on the same road, they did not have much intersection.

"I don't think they are an ordinary scientific research team..." Wang Siqi's voice reached Wang Cheng's ears and was quickly agreed by Wang Cheng.

"Their steps are very steady, and they can maintain balance on this rugged mountain road. This is definitely not a quality that those scientists who are buried in academics and have no strength can have." Wang Cheng said as he observed the team out of the corner of his eye.

"The box they were carrying looked quite heavy, but that didn't affect their actions at all. These people are well-trained, but I can't understand why they would intervene in the Fengmen Village case as scientists?" The doubts in Wang Cheng's mind were also what confused Wang Siqi.

This made it impossible for the two of them to determine the identities of these people for a while.

Looking at Feng Baobao, she was much more direct than the other two. From beginning to end, Feng Baobao's eyes were fixed on the investigation team of the Star Observation Bureau.

Those team members felt uneasy when Feng Baobao stared at them. They always felt that this girl was a little strange, but they couldn't tell what was strange about her.

Finally, the two teams arrived in front of the village monument of Fengmen Village. In the face of a common goal, they had to meet even if they didn't want to.

Liu An waved his hand gently, and two team members quickly came forward carrying a box. They opened the box in front of the village monument and took out a device similar to a detector.

This device is connected to a palm-sized display screen, and the detector scans...

Soon, the display screen showed detailed information about the material of the village monument. At the same time, the instrument also detected some subtle traces on the village monument that were difficult to detect with the naked eye. These traces were pieced together to form seemingly ancient text.

With the help of the instrument, a team member quickly reported: "Team leader, we have found hidden text on the village stele and are now trying to decipher it."

Liu An nodded without any surprise. Before coming, they had done sufficient data collection on Fengmen Village.

Although the information is limited, they can draw a conclusion: Fengmen Village has a long history and has always maintained unique customs, and is exclusive to outsiders. The specific reasons have yet to be found out. However, Liu An believes that through in-depth investigation, everything will be revealed.

Seeing that the research team had made some discoveries as soon as they arrived at the scene, Wang Cheng quickly walked over to Chen Shu and suggested, "Can you help us communicate with the research team and let them share their findings? Perhaps we can also provide help in interpreting ancient characters."

Chen Shu nodded immediately after hearing this: "Wait a minute, I'll go talk to them." Chen Shu did not go directly to the research team to negotiate, but first found the familiar Du Qiang. After learning about the idea of ​​the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, Du Qiang immediately expressed his willingness to help communicate.

After all, the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau is a special consultant to the Security Department, and Du Qiang dare not slack off in the slightest.

He conveyed the intention of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau to Liu An: "Team Leader Liu, your equipment is very advanced and you have made some discoveries. The Jiumen Fengshui Bureau over there is the consultant of the Security Department, and they hope that the two sides can exchange clues. If it involves ancient characters or something like that, the investigators of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau said they can participate in the interpretation."

Liu An refused without even looking up: "No, we are professionals. We don't need anyone else to interpret it. Since they are special consultants, they should find clues themselves. Otherwise, they should go back as soon as possible."

Although Liu An's words were impolite, they were actually a disguised form of pressure on the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau. He and his team members were very proud of the Stargazing Bureau. In their opinion, the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, a wild way, could not compare to a professional team.

What's more, the Astronomical Bureau has the most advanced technology to assist. No matter from which angle you look at it, you don't need the help of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.

Du Qiang awkwardly told Chen Shu about Liu An's attitude, and Chen Shu had no choice but to tell Wang Cheng and his friends. However, what Chen Shu didn't expect was that Wang Cheng and his friends didn't get angry after being rejected.

On the contrary, Wang Siqi shrugged nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, we'll check it ourselves."

Although Liu An didn't say anything, he couldn't help but question whether these people were too naive. These marks on the village stele are not detectable to the naked eye. This is an ancient seal carving method called "Qishu".

This seal carving method was first created by Jiang Ziya, who used some ancient numerology to hide the text in traces that looked like decorations. Without the assistance of high-tech means, the difficulty of deciphering would be greatly increased.

Even if the Observatory has high-tech assistance to decipher the ancient characters, it will take some time. However, at this time, Wang Siqi has taken out a small paper bag from his arms, which contains bright red cinnabar powder.

He picked up a brush, dipped it in cinnabar powder, and evenly applied it on the village stele. Wang Cheng shone a flashlight on it, and the cinnabar quickly solidified and faded under the high temperature.

Wang Siqi carefully brushed off the lighter powder, leaving only the darker color, because cinnabar would accumulate in subtle traces, which would form a sharp contrast under strong light.

Soon, densely packed dark red marks appeared on the village stele. These marks were exactly the marks obtained by the Observatory using high-tech scanning methods.

Compared with the high-tech means of the Observatory, the method used by Wang Cheng and others seems very down-to-earth, but the effect is extremely obvious, and the hidden marks on the village monument are clearly visible.

Chen Shu and Du Qiang stared with their eyes wide open, and even Liu An couldn't help but admire it. This is indeed a good method. Although the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau does not have any technological means, it is very skilled in the use of ancient methods.

However, Liu An only admired the ancient method itself. In the face of technology, the speed of deciphering by the ancient method was still incomparable.

At this time, on the instrument display screen of the Observatory, since the team members had set up various ancient character deciphering programs in advance, after capturing the inscriptions, the instruments began to assemble quickly.

However, due to the huge database of ancient characters, even high-tech equipment would take a long time to sort out. Wang Cheng and his companions used the most clumsy method to trace these inscriptions on the ground one by one.

Afterwards, they stood in front of the marks and had a long discussion. To the other members of the Observatory, this was a complete waste of time. Could their brains be comparable to the high-tech equipment?

However, Wang Cheng and Wang Siqi were not affected at all and squatted there trying to decipher the carvings.

"Ding ding..." the instrument made a sound, "Team Leader, the first word has been deciphered, it's 'seal'."

The speed of the Astronomical Observatory was obviously much faster. In less than ten minutes, the first ancient character was successfully deciphered. Liu An nodded calmly, as if he was not surprised by this.

He habitually glanced in the direction of Wang Cheng and the others, but found that they were not affected at all. The strange girl also squatted beside them with a serious look on her face, listening to the conversation between the two, and seemed very focused.

"There must be a connection between these carvings, and they seem to be related to the stars in the sky..." Wang Cheng said as he took out a Sanhe compass.

This was different from the Ziwu plate that Wang Siqi used specifically for architectural Feng Shui, which made Liu An, who had been secretly watching them, somewhat puzzled...

Although members of the Observatory often rely on the compass as an auxiliary tool and almost everyone carries a triad compass with them, the compass seems to be useless in this situation.

Deciphering ancient characters requires more reliance on profound knowledge reserves and rich imagination. It requires recombining those seemingly messy carvings countless times to get a glimpse of the hidden ancient characters.

Therefore, when the man dressed as a Taoist suddenly took out a compass and looked very serious, Liu An couldn't help but pay more attention to their actions.

Wang Cheng was seen squatting on the ground, fiddling with the compass in his hand and comparing it with the marks drawn on the ground from time to time.

As we all know, the core of the Sanhe compass is the 24 mountains, among which the earth needle is the most critical circle on the compass. All circles revolve around these 24 characters, whether it is Gelong, Lixiang, Xiaosha or Nashui, they all take the earth needle as the theoretical basis.

However, the problem is that Liu An and others have learned that these inscriptions are more based on the changes in celestial phenomena and are hidden in the village monument. Although there is a celestial needle on the compass, it is difficult for the Sanhe compass to accurately correspond to the celestial phenomena.

unless……

Liu An's heart suddenly moved, and then he frowned. And Wang Cheng's next move was just as he expected. He began to reverse the celestial phenomena through the terrain.

Feng Shui seems to have nothing to do with celestial phenomena, but in fact celestial phenomena are an indispensable part of the Feng Shui combination. What makes Liu An unbelievable is that doing so requires a deep understanding of celestial phenomena, not only remembering every change in celestial phenomena, but also mastering all the connections between celestial phenomena and Feng Shui.

In this way, we can indeed analyze the celestial laws contained in these markings, but the difficulty can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Liu An turned to the technician beside him and asked, "How many words have you deciphered now?"

The technician stared at the screen and said with difficulty: "The second word is currently being deciphered, but the progress has only reached 40%..."

Such progress was so slow that Liu An was puzzled. Even scientific and technological means were progressing so slowly, could their ancient methods really be effective?
At this moment, Wang Cheng, who had been staring at the compass, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then he wrote the first word on the ground next to him - "Seal". (End of this chapter)
