You Fang held the compass in his left hand and Qin Yu in his right hand. He bravely entered the cave and felt very frightened. There was nothing to be afraid of at first, but Liu Li used the magic of turning evil spirits and entangling them, which made it very scary.
He said something like that again, which made him feel very unsure.
There are three situations of so-called bold people in the world: first, those who are ignorant are fearless and dare to take risks; second, those who are so greedy for profit that they forget all about it and take risks; third, those who are aware of what will happen and know what will happen, so they are not afraid, but no one else
I dare to say that everything is under control, but it is limited to certain situations.
You Fang is none of these three types of people, at least at this moment he doesn't know what to do. The little You Fang has never acted unscrupulously, otherwise he would not be so slippery and take unnecessary risks, but he is not afraid of trouble and will take advantage of it when he has nothing to do.
On the other hand, "bold" and "brave" have always been two different concepts.
The evil energy gathering from all sides and the yin energy deep underground rushed towards his face. Instead, You Fang put Qin Yu away and spread his spiritual consciousness around, just sensing but trying not to touch any aura. Qin Yu was too "dazzling" in this place.
It might scare away the "ghosts". If the purpose is to investigate, it's better not to disturb the surroundings.
After mastering spiritual consciousness, you can theoretically check the earth's energy without using a compass, but with the help of a particularly spiritual old plate as a spiritual guide, the induction can be more direct and sharp, and the range is larger. It is also a magical weapon, and even Liu Li likes it
use.
As soon as you enter the Robber's Cave, your spiritual sense that is integrated with the compass sinks, as if you are being swallowed up and buried. This is the "sinking needle" in the Eight Qi Needles. Then the magnetic needle in the Compass Tianchi rises again.
The spiritual sense induction is pushed outward by an invisible force and becomes a "floating needle". Moving forward, the magnetic needle rises and falls uncertainly, which is a typical "throwing needle". (Note: For the eight strange needle methods, see
The first chapter of this book.)
Most people can't see this subtle change at all, because when a person's hand holds the compass and moves forward, the compass needle itself will tremble. It is difficult to tell why, unless it is a very experienced expert. And if it is well preserved, the more spiritual it will be.
The old plate will be more sensitive to sensations other than its own tremors. You Fang did not lower his head to look at the magnetic needle at all. The sensation was integrated with his consciousness, which was no different from his own hand.
The slope of the Thief Cave slows down and extends forward more than ten meters deep. In the tunnel, electric wires are pulled and energy-saving lamps are lit. You Fang even puts away the compass, because you can see the end at a glance, and the induction of your spiritual consciousness cooperates with Qizhenba
The Dharma is very clear, and there is nothing surprising to those who know it.
The master is deliberately scaring him, not to test his courage, but to test his determination - can he be in a clear mind and not be disturbed by various factors? Here, it feels very similar to the underground corridor of the Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum. You Fang laughed.
, because he has reached the end of the robbery cave and knows what the old man wants him to come down to find?
This tunnel is more like a tunnel than an ordinary robbery cave, because one can stand upright. It seems that the group of tomb robbers not only want to make a deal, but intend to use this as a secret basis, extend in all directions, and steal as much as possible
More ancient tombs. How greedy! Usually tomb robbers are very fast in and out, and leave as soon as they succeed, and then find a place with sufficient vitality and yang energy to rest. No one will set up camp underground. This has nothing to do with courage.
It is indeed not an environment for living people to live down there.
If they have been secretly doing this kind of work underground for a long time, and dare not let people know about it in the light, over time, they will definitely have mental and physical problems without Liu Li using any evil spirits. Problems such as rheumatoid arthritis are still minor. , let alone mental disorders, hepatobiliary disease and cardiovascular system problems are very likely.
You Fang sighed and shook his head while squatting down. There was a hoe at the end of the robbery hole. Seeing that the situation had been determined, he wanted to dig straight down and rob the ancient tomb below by uncovering the top. You Fang had sensed it with his spiritual consciousness. , the tomb robber seemed to have dug through a mysterious unknown world with his hoe. When he saw the scene, it turned out that the underground layer of plaster mud had been dug up. He saw the underworld soil with his own eyes for the first time.
The soil of the Yin Realm is not "soil", but a layer of earth energy boundary condensed on the inner surface of the green plaster mud layer that has sealed the Yin energy for thousands of years, as if Yin and Yang are separated. After being dug through, the ancient breath that has been sleeping underground for many years is sensed in the consciousness. , as if there was a smart Yin Qi thrown out. You Fang pulled out his sword, carefully picked up a whole piece of soil, held it in his hand and studied it carefully.
Is this thing impossible to collect? It seems to be a black film attached to the soil layer, with almost no thickness. Just scrape it off with a sword and the green plaster mud will be scraped off. No matter how gentle the technique is, it will not work. If there is a layer of soil attached to it, If you take it away, it is Yin soil, not the Yin realm soil mentioned by Master. Instead, the pure Yin energy is mixed and dissipated. Once the environment changes, it cannot be retained for a long time. - Master is testing his own methods!
Thinking of this, You Fang put down the soil, stood up and looked back at the dark tunnel. Let's deal with another matter first. The perception in his consciousness was very clear. It was as if invisible eyes were looking at him in the dark. This was not an illusion. !After calming down, the response is still very direct, that means there is really a problem.
He took a few steps back. His consciousness penetrated the soil on the left side of the cave wall and noticed that there was a special physical property condensed in a small area about a foot deep. He pierced the cave wall with his sword and made a circle. , dug out a small hole, reached out and pulled out a complete green brick from the soil, and then found something underneath.
This is a walnut-sized round bead. At first glance, it looks like the color and pattern of blue and white porcelain. However, You Fang knows that the soil here was accumulated at least 2,300 years ago, and it is impossible to unearth blue and white porcelain. But this object is not Jade, if you look carefully under the light, it has a translucent texture, with cyan patterns on the surface flowing into the white porcelain interior.
It is a glass bead. The decoration is in the style of "dragonfly eyes" from the Chu State during the Warring States Period. The color is bright and lustrous, as if it had just been fired. Such superb glass craftsmanship existed 2,300 years ago. It is breathtaking. You cannot see it with your own eyes. I can't believe it. This bead is hollow and must be blown. There are small holes at both ends for inserting bead accessories.
This dragonfly eye glass bead is so well preserved, it is like the eyes that have just opened in a dream, looking curiously at You Fang more than two thousand years later. After the glassware is unearthed, it will not corrode and decompose as quickly as wood. , similar to ceramics and jade, there is also a process of tempering and returning to Yang, but the color will gradually become dull and the texture will become turbid. Although it is very slow, it is irreversible. If the artifact has spirituality, it will gradually disappear.
You Fang looked at the glass bead, smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It turns out you scared me. Fortunately, it fell into my hands. If you want to see the light of day again without losing your spirituality, it will really take a lot of effort. Woolen cloth."
He stood there, holding a bead in his left hand and swiping a dagger in his right hand. A gust of evil wind spread out, and a person appeared in the thief's cave. Damn, it was really a ghost! But You Fang was not scared, because this "ghost" him
He is very familiar. He has a graceful figure and a graceful figure. He is wearing a long skirt that looks like a layer of sword light. He is sexy and exudes a seductive aura. He is exactly the Qin Yu that he saw in his mind.
The spirituality of this glazed bead is indeed very special. Using it as a spiritual guide to move your spiritual consciousness can inspire mental images to see what you see. This description is a bit mysterious. In other words, ordinary people wearing this bead are prone to "seeing ghosts", and when they feel suspicious,
Maybe you really saw a ghost. The folk saying is that it is called "yin eyes". Antiquities unearthed underground are sometimes very evil and should not be accessorized casually, unless you are an understanding person like You Fang.
Qin Yu has never been as real as she is today. She is simply a living person standing in front of her. It's just that she lacks the agility and popularity in her perception, but there is also curiosity in her eyes.
"What, you like it? Then I'll give it to you." You Fang handed over the glass bead.
Qin Yu lowered his head, showing a slightly shy smile, and reached out to take the glass bead. This was the first time You Fang saw her smile, and it was also the first time he had active human communication other than sword practice.
.The ancient sword Qin Yu naturally does not laugh or move. All of this is the spirituality given to "her" by You Fang when raising the sword. It is a strange manifestation in the state of mind after learning the "Refining Realm" mental method.
new feelings.
The previous You Fang could theoretically do this, but every thought was an illusion of the devil. Only after refining one's own state of mind can one truly communicate intuitively with Qin Yu's spirituality. With the guidance of the master last night, with the help of this
With a glass bead, You Fang found an ethereal state of mind outside of sitting still. In the gloomy underground cave, he forgot his fear and talked to the sword spirit with a smile.
If anyone else saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death. In the gloomy underground cave, there was a smiling young man standing. I don’t know who he was smiling at? There was a man not far in front of him.
The glass bead is floating in the air strangely! It's not that there is really a ghost reaching out to hold the bead, but You Fang's spiritual consciousness is controlling it - this is a secret method that consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and not everything can
Playing like this, most experts never play like this.
Just as he smiled, You Fang immediately stretched out his hand to take back the glass bead, and did not continue to activate the secret method of "transforming the situation and observing". There were still serious things to do.
He returned to the end of the robbery cave, lifted a layer of green plaster mud to reveal the underworld soil, and then shook the glass beads in his hand, and a strange scene appeared. The extremely thin layer of black film on the surface of the green plaster mud layer turned into mist.
It floated towards the glass bead and was collected into the hollow bead. You Fang picked up the hoe with the other hand, uncovered all the green plaster mud at the end of the thief's cave, and collected all the underworld soil into the glass bead.
The soil of the Yin Realm cannot be collected by conventional methods. The pure Yin Qi can only be stripped away by the method of circulating the earth's Qi, and then condensed into special utensils by the method of refining. This is how the piece of silk Liu Li gave him was made.
You Fang happens to have a glass bead in his hand, and at the same time, he can use the pure Yin material to temporarily protect its spirituality.
He just said that he wanted to give the glass bead to Qin Yu. Of course, he was not joking. In the empty mind, he couldn't joke to deceive "people". When this thing retains its spirituality and can see the light of day again, it can be decorated on Qin Yu's sword tassel.
It is an excellent "gift" to add Qin Yu's spirituality, make her mental image more clear and vivid, and also increase her smart response to external stimuli.
The area where the underworld soil can be dug at the end of the robbery hole is only one meter in diameter. Below it through the rammed soil layer should be the ancient tomb. You Fang has no interest in robbing the tomb, so he immediately put down the hoe and turned around to leave. He weighed the glass beads and thought
Secretly scolding the master for being so weird, asking him to collect three taels of Yin Realm soil!
I thought it was quite small at the time, but now I know that this kind of thing can only be collected after being refined with spiritual consciousness. The more underworld soil this glass bead collects, the heavier it will become invisibly. If one day it weighs three taels out of thin air,
Not to mention how much effort it would take, even if the entire Nanta Park was opened, it would be a big hassle! This is assuming that every ancient tomb below has Netherworld soil on the outer layer. How is this possible?
Alas, I fell into Master's trap! I thought it would be the easiest to collect three ounces of Yin Realm soil, but now it seems that it is probably the most difficult task to complete. Even if you know that there is one under South Tower Park, you can't dig here.
Have to find another opportunity.
Liu Li watched his apprentice emerge from the robbery hole and asked with a smile: "What's the harvest? Did you catch the ghost?"
You Fang: "I have gained a lot, and I have also seen the Yin Realm soil. But Master, you are too Yin, right? It is even more Yin than the Yin Realm soil! How can we get three taels together?"
Liu Li held back a bad smile: "This kind of thing requires opportunity, and opportunity requires sufficient experience and accumulation. There may be places with underworld soil in the mountains and rivers of the world, and it's not just ancient tombs. Maybe you will encounter it in the future.
, one collection was successful.”
You Fang asked back: "Thank you, Mr. Ji, if there really is such a place, I will be exhausted after refining half a coin of Yin Realm soil at one time, and it will take me ten days and a half to recover. Not to mention how difficult it is to find, please tell me, Mr.
How many can you collect at one time?”
Liu Li thought for a while: "If there really is such a place, let's do it half a tael at a time. After all, you still don't have enough skills and experience, so you have to continue to practice. Disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers! ... Let's not talk about this, you
In addition to seeing the soil of the underworld, what you gain from down there is this worthless brick. Do you want to take it back to make inkstones?"
You Fang is really a good boy who doesn't waste anything. When he went down, he not only brought up the glazed beads, but also brought up an ancient brick from more than 2,000 years ago. This brick is almost twice the size of common modern bricks.
, the iron-blue texture is obviously heavier and denser than modern bricks.
He held the brick and said: "Disciples look at artifacts now and cannot measure them by the value of the antique market. This brick has been sealed for more than two thousand years after being fired. Its physical properties are pure and it condenses the ancient earth energy. I use the method of refining artifacts with my spiritual consciousness.
Helping it return the fire and return the yang, it can calm down the earth energy in the house. It can be used as an iron lion temporarily, and later it can be used as a base to place the iron lion. In the future, practicing the heart pan may also be helpful."
Speaking of this, there is a very interesting question: What is the most common and most used pottery since ancient times? The answer is bricks. Maybe no one regards bricks as pottery, but its firing process also requires soil mining, washing and washing.
There are a series of standard pottery making processes including materials, mold making, embryonic making, kiln filling, firing and shaping, etc. However, it was later simplified for large-scale folk application.
There is an old saying called "Qin bricks and Han tiles". In the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, "bricks" were not something that ordinary people could afford. Civilian buildings were mostly built with wood, stone, and clay. Royal and aristocratic buildings were built with "bricks" on a large scale.
", the technology and cost are beyond the imagination of modern people. Its raw material is "pure mud" with extremely fine and uniform particles and no impurities after being rinsed. It is very labor-intensive. After firing, the texture is uniform and dense, and the quality is excellent.
Qin bricks and Han tiles handed down from ancient times were the best materials for making inkstones during the Tang and Song dynasties. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the "gold bricks" specially used for paving the royal palaces drew on the craftsmanship of Qin bricks and Han tiles, and were the most stringent ones.
Clear mud bricks.
What You Fang brought up from the ground was an ancient Zhanchu brick. It had no words or patterns, so it was worthless in the antique market. Even archaeologists generally wouldn't pay special attention to it. However, it was made from Nanling ancient mud and was of first-class quality.
, it is even rarer that the physical properties are pure, and the spiritual sense induction has the effect of gathering and condensing the earth's energy. - Good things cannot be wasted, even if they are heavy, take them away.
Liu Li said angrily and funny: "I asked you to go down, and you went to pick up bricks. If you want to find this kind of thing, there are a lot of them outside."
You Fang shook his head and said: "Qin bricks and Han tiles are easy to find. You can buy them with money at Panjiayuan, but the physical properties are so pure. I have never seen bricks that condense the ancient earth spirit."
Liu Li waved his hand: "If you don't mind it, just carry it on your back. Don't say you picked him in front of me. I can't afford to throw him away if word spreads. It's like he's never seen a good thing! ... You're down there.
What else can I gain? I just sensed with my spiritual consciousness that there should be something special on one side of the cave wall."
"Master, look, it's this dragonfly-eye glass bead. I took it out from under the brick, and it's scattered in the soil for some reason." You Fang put down the brick, took out the glass bead and handed it over.
Liu Li sighed: "I don't know what happened more than two thousand years ago. It seems to be an ancient ornament. What a good thing. You really picked it up! Knowing that it is used as a tool to condense and collect the soil of the underworld, you finally didn't let it go.
Disappointed for the teacher."
You Fang: "When have I ever let you down? Things are almost over here. It's time for us to leave. Let's call the police and arrest them."
Liu Li sat down on the bed and said sternly: "You Chengfang, there is one last thing to explain. Today's demonstration of the magic of turning evil spirits around is supposed to wait until you become my official successor, but since I have mentioned it in advance
, I have to give you the precepts of earth masters of all generations, otherwise I am afraid that you will get into trouble, and you will harm yourself if you are not careful... Just kneel down!"
Seeing the master's tone and expression, You Fang didn't dare to laugh anymore. He knelt down in front of the old man and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Liu Li was not in a hurry, but asked instead: "Before you met me, you were an expert in Feng Shui. I later found out that you got it from the Mo Jiayuan Fengmen family tradition. So let me ask you, do you know the Five Precepts of the Earth Master?"
You Fang nodded: "Disciple has known this since he was a child. It has been mentioned in many Feng Shui books."
Liu Li: "Tell me about it and see if you can remember it firmly?"
The so-called Five Precepts of Earth Masters are, of course, not specifically aimed at masters of Earth Qi like Liu Li, but rather five taboos for Feng Shui masters who have been engaged in geography since ancient times. Whether people in this profession abide by them or not is another matter, but since ancient times they have been
These statements are more or less mentioned in the Feng Shui classics of the past dynasties.
