Chapter 32 Searching for the Dragon
At the end of this booklet, Chen Ziyang's grandfather left a riddle.It says "Chen to Sichuan, Ding Xinglong, Shen to Dingshui, crossing the stream..." Chen Ziyang knew that this riddle was actually the location where the ancient book was buried.This kind of riddle is called Xunlong Jue, which is the most commonly used code among Feng Shui masters to record the location of a tomb or a certain place.As long as some people who know a little bit about Fengshui and how to use the compass, as long as they know the starting point of the dragon hunting formula, they can find the recorded position according to this dragon hunting formula. When the old Taoist taught Chen Ziyang how to use the compass had taught him.

This dragon-seeking tactic seems to be very profound, but it is actually very simple. "Chen Zhichuan" refers to walking from the starting point to the Chen position in the 24 mountains. Zhichuan means walking to the foot of the mountain. The Dragon Jue is just a test of the primary method of using the compass, and all the references for the Dragon Jue are based on the mountains and water in Feng Shui.Chen Ziyang used to like playing this kind of game very much. From time to time, he asked the old Taoist to give him a dragon-hunting formula to look for, because this dragon-hunting formula gave him a feeling of treasure hunting.The only difficulty in treasure hunting in Xunlongjue is to determine the correct starting point for this section of Xunlongjue.

Chen Ziyang understood what his grandfather did.The old Chen family didn't want the descendants of the Chen family to do tomb robbery again, even Chen Ziyang's grandma didn't know that the old Chen family had robbed tombs.In this way, if the descendants of the Chen family are not interested in this compass, then this secret will never be discovered.It is time for the old Chen family's secrets to be revealed. Who would have thought that the old Chen family 80 years later would have a Maoshan geologist.

Chen Ziyang put the booklet in his pocket, and used a pen to record all the characters of Liushi Jiazi on the inner plate of the compass, and then studied for a long time to assemble the compass back.This compass is just an ordinary compass. His grandfather has seen it many times. Even if Chen Ziyang looks at it himself, he can't see anything else, as long as he writes down these passwords.After the compass was assembled, Chen Ziyang tried it. Fortunately, the compass was not broken.

Chen Ziyang made a decision. He decided to follow the dragon hunting formula to find those ancient books.Anyway, firstly, he has nothing to do, and secondly, Taoists believe in chance the most. It is a coincidence that the ancestor of the old Chen family had this adventure of robbing a tomb. It is a coincidence that the compass and ancient books are still in the hands of the Chen family. Coincidentally, the descendants of the Chen family are Maoshan geologists who know the art of Fengshui best. The most coincidental thing is that this Maoshan geologist accidentally dropped the compass and discovered the secret.There are so many coincidences together, this is God's will, God destined Chen Ziyang to work hard to uncover these secrets.

But Chen Ziyang thought about it carefully, and found several problems in the whole matter.First, this set of ancient books has been handed down to my ancestors for more than 1500 years, and it has been more than 1600 years now. Why are these ancient books preserved so well?It is good that there are half a copy of other ancient books left. According to my grandfather's description, this set of ancient books should be a lot, but it has been unscathed for so many years.How did future generations understand the words in ancient books? The characters written for more than 1000 years are not universal.Why did the owner of the tomb who protects the spirits of the Seven Wars bring the secret of the compass into the coffin, bring the secret into the coffin and guard it with such powerful formations and mechanisms? It is because he does not want people to know this secret, but Why not just destroy the compass?Wouldn't that be more thorough?

Chen Ziyang shook his head, he couldn't figure it out, so let's not think about it for now, take one step at a time, find the ancient book first, maybe there will be an answer.Tomorrow, tomorrow, we will start to break the dragon-hunting formula first.

That night, Chen Ziyang lay on the bed for a long time unable to fall asleep, always thinking about where the starting point of this "Looking for the Dragon" would be.Generally speaking, the starting point of Xunlong Jue is the most important place for the person who wrote Xun Long Jue or a place that is more meaningful for someone or something.After thinking about it, Chen Ziyang realized that there was really no other place besides his grandfather's house.Because Chen Ziyang's grandfather is an outsider, there is basically no place that is meaningful to him here. The only and most likely place is the old house of the Chen family.

The next day Chen Ziyang got up early, took a compass and walked to his grandfather's old house.As far as Chen Ziyang knows, his grandfather and grandmother used to have a bungalow of their own. After Chen Ziyang's grandfather died, his grandmother sold the house and moved to Chen Ziyang's uncle's house, so The starting point of this "Looking for the Dragon" will not be Chen Ziyang's uncle's house, but the old house.

Chen Ziyang began to search from the door of the old house according to the location mentioned in the dragon hunting formula.Big Walnut Town is surrounded by mountains on all sides and the Yalu River on one side.There are mountains on all sides in various directions, and the Yalu River in the south is not the only river. It can be said that there are mountains and rivers everywhere.Xunlong Jue is a code word between Feng Shui masters, and they all take the direction of mountains and rivers as record points.Here, no matter which direction you go, there are mountains and ridges.So generally speaking, if you walk in this area according to the direction pointed by the Xunlong Jue, even if the starting point is wrong, the first few steps of the Xunlong Jue can be right.

Chen Ziyang remembers that once when he was playing Dragon Search Jue with the old Taoist, he found the wrong direction on the way, but in the end he was able to find an end point. Although the end point was in the wrong position, it was enough to see The disadvantage of this Dragon-seeking Tactic is that in places with many mountains and rivers, it is easy to record the wrong place of this Dragon-seeking Tactic.

When Chen Ziyang reached the third step of the "Xunlong Jue", he knew that the starting point was wrong.The third step of Xunlongjue is written from "Shen to Dingshui" to "Shen" in the 24 mountains to Dingshui. Dingshui refers to the three forks of the water flow.But at this time, in front of Chen Ziyang was the Yalu River, a strip of emerald green water running straight to the southwest, not to mention Dingshui, there was not even a small forked ditch.

Chen Ziyang walked more than 100 meters to the upstream and downstream of the Yalu River. After confirming that the Yalu River in this section did not have branches, he walked to his grandmother's house.The only clue he knew was cut off like this. He knew too little about grandpa, so he had to ask grandma carefully.

Chen Ziyang asked his grandma in a confused way. He told all the things his grandma knew about his grandfather. Chen Ziyang even asked the question whether his grandpa's cemetery was chosen by his grandpa himself. Well, if the cemetery is chosen by Grandpa himself in advance, then the starting point of the Dragon Search may be Grandpa's cemetery.However, after Chen Ziyang asked so many times, he still found nothing about the starting point of the Dragon Hunting Art.It wasn't until Chen Ziyang's grandma accidentally told the scene when she first got married that Chen Ziyang realized that he had made a mistake.
