Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang were stunned for a moment, and then asked in unison: "What is that?"
Lin Yang did not rush to explain, but asked: "Feng Shui, have you all heard of it?"
Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang nodded in unison. As a Chinese, how could we not have heard of Feng Shui?
Many things in daily life are related to Feng Shui. It can even be said that Chinese people have been inextricably linked with Feng Shui from the moment they were born...
So, what is Feng Shui?
Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty once wrote in the book "The Burial Sutra": "The burial person takes advantage of the Qi. The Qi will be dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water will stop. The ancients gathered it to keep it from scattering, and moved it to make it last."
Stop, so it is called Feng Shui."
From Guo Pu’s words, it is not difficult to see that Feng Shui is the art of matching the earth. By selecting and processing the surrounding environment, the effect desired by the Feng Shui master can be achieved. In most cases, this effect is the trend.
Good luck avoids evil. However, there are also some Feng Shui that do the opposite. The purpose is to attract evil and cause disaster.
The Feng Shui puzzle is a kind of puzzle established through Feng Shui methods.
Once people or animals are trapped in it, they will lose their way due to the influence of the surrounding feng shui. No matter how they go, they will just circle in the maze. If they can't find a way to break the formation, they will never think about it.
If you get out of the maze, you will eventually be trapped and die inside.
In modern times, some architects believe that Feng Shui achieves an effect on people or objects by changing the magnetic field of the surrounding environment. Although this argument has no scientific basis for the time being, it can be seen from the random spinning in Lin Yang's hand.
Judging from the constant compasses, it seems to make some sense...
After listening to Lin Yang's explanation of the Feng Shui formation, Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang's expressions became increasingly ugly.
"Lao San, are you sure we are trapped in a Feng Shui maze?" Liu Xiangcheng asked, still holding a bit of luck in his heart.
Lin Yang nodded and raised his hand to point to the locust trees around him: "The trees in Jiulonggou are mainly fir trees. But here, except for the locust trees, there are no other plants, not even a single weed."
This kind of abnormal event that goes against the common sense of nature can only appear in the Feng Shui maze... In addition, if we weren't trapped by the Feng Shui maze, how could we have been circling around here and just couldn't get out?"
After hearing this, Liu Xiangcheng stopped talking and looked slightly desperate.
Zhou Liang's expression was not much better than his. After sighing, he asked: "Third brother, what should we do to get out of this damn Feng Shui maze? Is it possible that we are really going to be trapped and die in this ghost place?"
?”
Lin Yang replied: "Since it is a man-made Feng Shui maze, there must be a way to break it. The simplest and most crude method is to find the eye of the formation and destroy it. In this way, the Feng Shui maze will naturally become ineffective."
Zhou Liang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked: "Third brother, what exactly is the eye of this Feng Shui maze? Where should we look for it?"
Lin Yang glanced around and said: "Since this Feng Shui formation is constructed from a locust tree, its formation eye must also be a locust tree. And the locust tree as the formation eye is different from the surrounding locust trees.
The tree will be very different. As long as we observe carefully and search carefully, we will definitely be able to find it. However, there must be many traps hidden near the formation eye. Therefore, after discovering the formation eye, you must not
If you act rashly, you must be cautious.”
"I understand." Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang nodded in unison.
In any case, they finally saw another hope.
In adversity, what people fear most is not what kind of danger they will encounter, but the loss of hope.
After thinking about it, Lin Yang made arrangements: "Later, I will let the team continue to move forward. When you are walking, remember to observe the surroundings. Once you find a tree that is different from the surrounding trees, immediately
notice me."
"No problem." Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang nodded in agreement again.
However, after Zhou Liang agreed, he couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, since we are already trapped in the Feng Shui maze, why do we have to let the team continue to move forward? Let them rest here, and the few of us
Wouldn’t it be easier to go out in a team to find the formation?”
"It's not appropriate to do this." Lin Yang first rejected his proposal, and then explained: "First of all, in this dangerous jungle, working together in a team is undoubtedly the safest choice. If you leave other people here
, it is up to a few of us to search for the formation. It is a very dangerous thing for them and for us. In addition, once we do that, the others will inevitably become suspicious. At that time, whether it is based on the truth
Whether you report or conceal the facts will cause panic. You have all seen that everyone's emotions are not very stable. If panic really occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Only then did Zhou Liang understand Lin Yang's painstaking efforts and nodded: "I see, I understand, then we will act as you arranged. Hey, by the way, third brother, I have a question, how do you know so much about Feng Shui?
?”
Liu Xiangcheng also curiously echoed: "Yes, yes, Lao San, I am also very confused about this matter. Have you ever learned Feng Shui?"
"Yes, I have learned it." Lin Yang nodded and said: "Little lady, do you remember some time ago, I asked you where the Taoist priests were better at drawing fortune-telling, and you introduced me to the Taoist priests around Qingyang Palace.
?"
"Remember..." Zhou Liang looked shocked: "Third brother, are you trying to say that you learned your Feng Shui skills from the Taoist priests at Qingyang Palace?
"That's right." Lin Yang's expression was very serious, making it impossible for anyone to tell that he was lying.
Zhou Liang sighed: "Isn't it right? The Taoist priests over at Qingyang Palace actually have such ability? When I go back, I will also learn from them."
Liu Xiangcheng also had an expectant look on his face. Apparently, like Zhou Liang, he had the idea of becoming a disciple.
Lin Yang shook his head at this moment: "My dear lady, you want to become a disciple? I'm afraid that's not possible."
"Why?" Zhou Liang was puzzled.
"Because you look too vulgar and not upright at all." After saying this, Lin Yang couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.
"Brother Yu, why don't you just bury people like this..." Zhou Liang protested dissatisfied.
Just when Lin Yang, Liu Xiangcheng, and Zhou Liang were enjoying themselves and joking with each other, a burst of noise suddenly came from the crowd resting in the back.
"Don't chase me, come back soon"
"Deng Kai, are you crazy? Come back quickly, there must be something wrong with that kid."
"Feng Qiong, are you desperate for your fucking life? Come back quickly. If you encounter a group of snakes, you will not be able to defeat them no matter how much life you have."
Damn...what accident happened again?
Lin Yang and the three looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.
Not daring to neglect, they hurriedly turned around and ran quickly towards the group of excited people at the rear.
In a few short steps, Lin Yang rushed back into the crowd and asked Ma Wanwen, who was staying here, "Second brother, what happened?"
Ma Wanwen's expression was very complicated, with six points of worry mixed with four points of panic. He raised his hand and pointed to the woods next to him and said: "Just now, in the woods over there, a child suddenly appeared. Deng Kai said
, that child was probably the descendant of the nearby mountain people, and he must have known the route out of the jungle, so he and Feng Qiong chased him out..."
The Deng Kai and Feng Qiong he mentioned were two art department boys who followed Diao Nina, Cai Qiuya and other girls. They were among the first people to run out of the snake cave, abandoning the girls. Perhaps it was because of this.
Their previous performance was too unbearable, and now they are thinking of showing off...
Unfortunately, they obviously chose the wrong time and place.
Zhou Liang also ran over at this time. When he heard Ma Wanwen's words, he opened his mouth in surprise: "There are children appearing in the woods? How is it possible that you are not seeing it wrong?"
Ma Wanwen smiled bitterly and said: "I also find it incredible. But with so many of us, it's impossible that we collectively saw it wrong, right?" After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and said: "I always feel that this thing is weird.
This jungle is full of dangers, how can a child walk through it alone... Do you think that child could be a ghost?"
The gloomy woods... the strange black snakes... the terrifying Feng Shui maze... and the sudden appearance of children...
Everyone felt as if a dark wind was blowing around them, and the temperature dropped instantly, making them shiver uncontrollably.
Lin Yang's eyes also changed at this time, not because of fear, but because he thought of the little girl named Lu Yue in Zhangzha Town.
"Is it a mandrill ghost?"
The more Lin Yang thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
As Ma Wanwen said, it is absolutely impossible for a normal child to appear alone in the jungle. And in this Feng Shui maze, there is an air of death, so it is not surprising that the mandrill ghost will appear here.
There is even a possibility...this feng shui maze is the birthplace of the mandrill ghost.
It is absolutely impossible for Lin Yang to express these speculations.
In the current situation, everyone is already frightened enough. If they were to know that there was a terrifying mandrill ghost appearing around them, wouldn't they really be frightened?
In order to maintain everyone's mood, Lin Yang could only make up a lie: "How can there be any ghosts in this world? In my opinion, what you see are probably not children, but animals like apes. Jiulonggou
There are many apes and other animals inside. Under the dim light, it’s not surprising to mistake them for children.”
"Ape?"
Lin Yang's analysis and explanation not only made Ma Wanwen shaken, but also others.
As Lin Yang said, because of the dim light, they did not see clearly the appearance of the child who appeared in the woods. They just felt that judging from the general shape and appearance, it should be a child. But now
, after listening to Lin Yang’s words, they suddenly felt that it was very likely to be an ape...
Compared with children, they are more willing to believe that the people who just appeared in the woods are apes.
It is normal for apes to appear in the woods, but if it were a child...
Then it can only be a ghost
Lin Yang asked again: "Second brother, in which direction did Deng Kai and Feng Qiong pursue them?"
"Over there." Ma Wanwen raised his finger and pointed in the direction.
Lin Yang nodded and immediately made arrangements: "Let's do this, boss, little lady, you stay here with the second brother and protect everyone. I will go and chase Deng Kai and Feng Qiong back. For safety reasons, you are with me.
After leaving, it would be best to find a way to light a bonfire. Having a bonfire will not only deter the beasts, snakes and insects in the dark, but also allow me to find the direction back after chasing Deng Kai and Feng Qiong.
.”
"Let me go with you." Zhou Liangmao recommended himself.
Lin Yang shook his head and said: "It's just two people. There's no need to mobilize an army. You stay here to protect the girl." Then, he put his hand into his trouser pocket and took out a bunch of ore-based medicines from Yushan under cover.
Among them are realgar, saltpeter and sulfur.
Lin Yang handed all these drugs into Ma Wanwen's hands. He also handed over the unconscious Xi Mengyao to Diao Nina and other girls to help take care of her.
"Second brother, sprinkle the realgar around to prevent the invasion of snakes and insects. The saltpeter and sulfur are for you to use as combustion aids to light the bonfire." After a few words of instruction, Lin Yang took the flashlight and
He chased Deng Kai and Feng Qiong in the direction where they disappeared.
At this moment, Zhou Liang suddenly remembered that the machete was still in his hand. He hurriedly raised the knife and shouted at Lin Yang's back: "Brother Dao San, take the knife with you."
"Keep the knife, I have something else to defend myself with," Lin Yang said without looking back while running.
