On the other side of the East China Sea, the Yangtze River meanders like a dragon, dormant on the earth.
Ji Chou year, Ji Si month, Bing Chen day.
Suitable for: repairing graves, attending appointments, praying for blessings, and offering sacrifices.
Taboo: Entering the house, starting construction, breaking ground, and burying.
According to the Feng Shui calendar, today's celestial phenomena are in conflict with fire, and actions can easily lead to fire, but gold can be found in fire. The rule of thumb is to pick chestnuts from charcoal, and if you lose something, you will gain something.
Although Kassel College is a dragon-slaying college, it can make people laugh superstitiously at certain times. After all, the content taught in this college does not completely conform to modern scientific theories in the eyes of outsiders. The textbooks are mixed with a lot of mysterious and mysterious things.
It is a mystical and mysterious knowledge. Even the professors who have studied this knowledge for decades have only discovered some special phenomena but cannot explain the reasons. They know the reasons but not the reasons.
To outsiders, things like Feng Shui masters are so superstitious that they can be labeled as "magic sticks" and "qigong masters". However, Kassel College actually has a course of "Feng Shui", which is a spiritual guide.
A side elective course under the first branch of the study, which mainly studies the connection between spiritualism and ancient Feng Shui. When studying the history of the dragon clan, many archaeological experts have discovered that whether it is the tomb of the Dragon King or the tombs of the second and third generation species
They are all consistent with Feng Shui.
This discovery can be regarded as a direct knock on Feng Shui. Feng Shui is not a metaphysics, but actually has a set of self-consistent theories, and the reason why this theory cannot be refuted is directly linked to the history of the Dragon Clan. In all the theories of mixed-race species
The system has always taken the Dragon Clan as the benchmark. No matter what the Dragon Clan does, it coincides with the rules of the world. Future generations of humans can temporarily not know why they do what they do. They only need to try their best to restore everything they did, and then slowly find out the reasons.
Just dig deep into the truth.
If we delve deeper into its principles, Feng Shui is just a common means of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. For example, when choosing a house, you cannot choose land with underground rivers, potholes or complex geological structures 3 meters below the ground. These environments may radiate
Long vibration waves or polluted radiation or particle flows can cause headaches, dizziness, endocrine disorders and other symptoms. In Feng Shui, this kind of favorable location is considered a "bad place".
To put it simply and understandably, one of the criteria for a "blessed place" in modern Feng Shui is a sunny place, because sunlight can warm people, sterilize, increase human immunity, and can also participate in the synthesis of vitamin D. In contrast,
The "bad place" is the leeward place, where there are mostly cold winds, mostly from the northwest. This is why most houses in the north are oriented north to south, which also coincides with the theory of "modern Feng Shui".
In the same way, in ancient history, the Dragon Clan also understood the theory of Feng Shui, or the so-called Feng Shui was passed down by them. Archaeological experts found that every member of the Dragon Clan, whether it was a nest or a tomb location, was
"Blessed land", the more noble the bloodline, the more auspicious the address.
The tomb of one of the most famous dragons lives in Changbai Mountain. The highest mountain range is used as the base of the tomb. The tomb is hidden in the Baishan Mountains and is surrounded by mountains stretching for hundreds of kilometers. The mountains and rivers are surrounded by each other, and the peaks are like attendants.
Towering in all directions, lined up to guard, there are several layers of green dragon sand and white tiger sand inside and outside, wrapping and locking the dragon energy.
For this dragon's cave, the secret party sent a top archaeological team to dig deep for decades before they found the entrance to the dragon's cave in this maze-like mountain range. This was only the entrance. It was just there.
The second generation species in Shilong's lair has hatched.
The perfect tomb brought excellent incubation temperature and concealment effect. It was only at the end that the archaeologists discovered that they had actually passed this entrance countless times, but had ignored it due to some subtle geographical reasons. They were
The consequence of making a mistake in Feng Shui is that you accidentally entered the dragon's lair and faced the awakening of the next generation.
More than half of the regiment's precious scientific research personnel were killed, and it was all thanks to the several senior ace specialists who led the regiment that they forced the next-generation species to retreat. Looking back now, if they had studied the Feng Shui theory earlier, they might have been able to gain something by finding the tomb in advance.
It is a pity that the project more than ten years ago was not taken seriously when the theory of "Feng Shui" was established, which led to this tragedy. However, it was also after that time that this discipline became
Gradually it began to shine and began to make great contributions to the great cause of dragon slaying.
The mistakes once made in Changbai Mountain have now been recognized by Cassel College as bloody lessons and written into textbooks to warn future generations. "Feng Shui" has also become a subject with extremely attractive credits. That is to say, in today's society
Any senior in the college can talk to you about Feng Shui.
Hilbert Jean Angers also joked that if there are no dragons to take revenge in the future, it may be possible to arrange for the students of the college to become Feng Shui masters and go out to choose sites and look at houses. Although a scientific society is now advocated, high-end people are still particularly
They are superstitious about these things. Rather than letting them be defrauded by random people on the road, it is better to donate the money to the pockets of graduates of Cassel College recognized by the Ivy League, which can be regarded as re-employment for laid-off mixed-race people.
"It's just that the money doesn't seem to be that easy to earn, Principal Angers."
When Jiang Peijiu thought of this, she raised her gaze from the brass utensil in her hand, sighed slightly, and looked at the sparkling Yangtze River water outside the ship's side.
There are green mountains on both sides of the bank. There is no sound of apes, only the sound of water waves and wind. The early summer wind blows from the stern of the huge tugboat parked on the Yangtze River to the bow, blowing up the woman's untied hair, and rubbing the rows of mountains along the river.
There are green trees in rows and waves, the green trees and blue sky are printed on the water surface, and the undercurrents under the water make it impossible to see the true appearance of this river.
At this time, behind Jiang Peijiu, who was in a daze, there were strange footsteps on the deck, as if something was tapping on the wall, and then a big boy's polite inquiry came from a distance along the wind.
"Teacher Jiang, is today's mission here?"
After being called, Jiang Peijiu cleaned up her expression and looked back. The first thing she saw was the smiling and sunny face of the big boy who was talking, as well as the one-piece diving suit specially made by the equipment department, which is said to be effective against cold.
As well as resisting the pressure of deep water, it was even equipped with the function of an underwater wingsuit. There was the emblem of the Half-Dead World Tree printed on the left chest. Both of them took off their oxygen masks and held them around their waists while looking at her with a smile.
"Ye Sheng, why are you alone, where is Aji?" Jiang Peijiu glanced at the empty deck behind Ye Sheng and asked.
"She is still changing clothes. She got up a little late this morning. When I called her, I saw that she was not in good spirits, so I let her sleep for an extra hour. It took a little time to bathe and change clothes, but she should be up soon.
Here we come." Ye Sheng explained.
"Lack of sleep is a taboo in action. How is her mental state now? If it is not good, we can postpone the action until the afternoon. There is no room for mistakes in the search for Baidi City." Jiang Peijiu looked at the white light swaying on the far river, "
Or is it just the right time for her these days? In this case, I will consider temporarily stopping the underwater operations or having a substitute person replace her for the underwater survey."
"Don't bother with the substitute, she won't be ready for the next few days." Ye Sheng immediately waved his hand.
"You are the ones, don't force it. I don't know why Schneider made you qualified for this mission. Maybe it's because you are young and fearless or because of your bloodline advantage? In short, I know very well that the pressure on you is not small now. Don't do it because you don't know how to do it."
If you have the nerve to act on your own, this will be harmful to the whole team but not beneficial." Jiang Peijiu looked at him and said calmly.
"I know, but nothing has been achieved in the past two months. The college has been asking so many questions. We don't want to waste time and want to make some achievements as soon as possible. After all, this is the most important thing that Aji and I have ever received.
A mission." Ye Sheng said with a wry smile.
Regarding Jiang Peijiu's words, whether it was a joke or serious, he had to answer strictly. He knew that the female professor in front of him looked young, but how high her voice was among the professors in the college.
I don't care about the advantages of age and appearance, just because the other party really has excellent dragon knowledge and talent. The in-depth analysis of the previous Changbai Mountain Dragon Tomb in the textbook is that this person is only 35 years old (this age is still a girl among mixed races)
), a woman who conducted fieldwork alone and compiled it, laid a huge foundation for the later position of Feng Shui in dragon theory. Professors with real materials and whose names are written in the textbooks often make people laugh when they talk.
These young commissioners or students are under a lot of pressure.
"'S'-level missions are indeed uncommon, but don't take it too seriously. The excavation of Baidi City is related to the Dragon King, so the rating of this mission is set so high. But in fact, there are many 'S'-level missions in the execution department.
The task files are just superficial. Some specialists have been working hard for several years without any results. When the so-called 'S' level tasks are reached, they just punch in and report the same details every day, just like your 'daily' work during the summer vacation." Jiang Peijiu.
Said comfortingly.
"Thanks for the explanation, Professor, but this 'S'-level mission is of great significance to both me and Yaji. If we can, we still want to do our best." Ye Sheng nodded and said that he knew the stakes involved, "We
In the previous training, I dived more frequently than I do now. The diving instructor at the academy treated me like a beast. The most common thing he did was to drop two coins at the diving training site for us to look for. We couldn’t find that day.
The lunch and evening breeze were all wasted. We survived that kind of devilish training, and now the frequency of dives required in the mission can be regarded as a vacation."
"I have heard that you have conducted high-intensity diving training before. The coach seems to be Lao Qiao, right? That starfish maniac, I am an old friend with him."
"Professor knows Teacher Qiao?" Ye Sheng was a little curious about how the young Feng Shui master in front of him got connected with the Starfish Madman.
"He asked me for help when he was looking for the Santa Maria de Concepción in Santo Domingo, and he also had a boatload of temporary workers to help with the work. His methods were indeed quite ruthless. When he salvaged the sunken ship, he almost killed the crew.
"It was used as a mule," Jiang Peijiu said, "but it ended successfully afterwards. The ship was used as a nest by a fourth-generation dragon species and dragged to an underwater dragon-breeding place. Finally, it was used by me based on some historical records of oceans and dragons.
Mathematical modeling of the water-type dragon type Feng Shui style was used to locate the location. In addition to harvesting a fourth-generation 'cocoon' on that ship, we also found 32 tons of gold."
"Wow." Even Ye Sheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Afterwards, Lao Qiao wanted to give me half, but I refused. I heard that he later donated all the gold to the Marine Conservation Association. I don't know if anyone in the association was corrupt." Jiang Peijiu said leisurely, "Then again.
Speaking of which, Lao Qiao can be regarded as the ace in diving. If there is an 'S' level in diving, then he is undoubtedly it. Where did you go with him during training?"
"Jacob Springs in Texas, Devil's Cave in Florida, and a trip abroad, and finally went to the Somali Sea. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter pirates. Aki and I both prepared the weapons issued by the enforcement department but they were not used.
." Ye Sheng said with a little regret at the end.
"If you want to find pirates, you may have to go to the Strait of Malacca. Due to some special circumstances, there may not be any pirates in Somalia in the next few years." Jiang Peijiu said, "As for the other two places, it is Lao Qiao's character and not dangerous.
I don’t want to touch any place, and I don’t have the spirit to dive and enjoy the scenery at all. But just now you said that he asked you to train to find coins? Only places like Devil’s Cave and Jacob’s Spring can be found that have ghosts, right?”
"The devil's training will naturally look like the devil's training." Ye Sheng seemed to remember some not-so-good memories and could only smile bitterly, "At that time, when I saw Teacher Qiao sitting on the sailboat and throwing coins, I thought it was some special way of praying.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and asked us to prepare diving suits and dive down to help him find it. It was his wine money. If he couldn't find it back, he would have no wine to drink today and we wouldn't have food to eat. At that time, both Aki and I
Silly."
"Looking for coins in a place with no light and lots of reefs? Isn't this abuse? How many days did you go without food during training?" Jiang Peijiu asked with interest.
"You should ask me how many days I have enough food to eat." Ye Sheng shrugged, "Hungry is a common thing, and things like finding coins are not actually abuse. It can train us in extreme underwater environments.
We have the observation ability and patience, as well as the control of oxygen. When diving, we are tied to the traction rope but we are restricted from looking at the oxygen meter. We can only rely on the sense of time to conduct underwater operations. Once oxygen appears,
If he is forced to be pulled out by the traction rope in an emergency, we will probably have to suffer in the next few days."
"Lao Qiao has the best diving experience among the people I know. As a marine conservation enthusiast, he spends 300 days at sea a year. Although it is a bit hard to learn from him, I will dive with you in the future."
I can't thank you enough for your help with my homework." Jiang Peijiu nodded and said a good word for her friend.
"Actually, it's not that we didn't find any coins at all. I did find a coin a few times. Although Teacher Qiao still told us with a bad face, 'Not enough, not enough', I know that he was actually very satisfied with us.
"Ye Sheng lowered his head and showed a shallow smile.
"You are the only one who has eaten, and Yaji has not found a coin once?" Jiang Peijiu asked, holding her hands and looking at him with a smile.
"Her diving skills are actually very good, and she even surpasses me in her level of carefulness. However, her swimming skills are still a bit inferior. The area for finding coins is much smaller than mine, so the chance of discovery is not particularly high. Plus,
Not very lucky." Ye Sheng tried to save some face for his partner. When he saw Jiang Peijiu just smiling at him, he didn't know what to say in the end and touched the back of his head with a bitter smile, "Aji shouldn't have any big problem. She has nothing to do today.
The reason for her poor mood early in the morning was not a physical problem but a nightmare. When she woke up in the morning, she complained to me that the dream was so frightening that she broke into a cold sweat."
"Huh? Are you having a nightmare? What kind of nightmare are you having?" Jiang Peijiu turned around and picked up Simon from the side of the ship.
Ye Sheng was slightly startled when he saw the Si Nan she was holding in her hand when she turned sideways. Yes, it was Si Nan, not a compass.
The so-called Sinan can be regarded as a relic that has been eliminated by the times. The production method is to use natural magnetite ore to cut it into a spoon shape, place it on a smooth plate with directions and use a magnet guide. This ancient relic first appeared in the Warring States Period, and later it was gradually
Newer things have taken their place.
In 2009, any mobile phone equipped with an electronic compass could download an APP to act as a compass. Things like Simon should have been thrown into the trash can of history or in the glass cabinet of the museum, but this young man in the college has the title of tenured professor.
The female teacher was holding Sinan and guiding the warship disguised as a tugboat forward on the river!
"I didn't ask for details, and she didn't take the initiative to say that nightmares are different from person to person. People say that when dreaming, the prefrontal lobe releases the suppressed emotions in daily life and produces bioelectric currents to create dreams. Maybe before I
You shouldn't have tricked her into watching that Cthulhu-style horror movie together at night." Ye Sheng said casually.
Hearing Ye Sheng's words, Jiang Peijiu's back suddenly froze. She slowly turned around and leaned against the guardrail of the ship. She gently pressed her red lower lip with her thumb. She was inexplicably caught up in this seemingly insignificant chat question.
Thinking, he said nothing for a whole minute.
Ye Sheng was also accustomed to the instructor's eccentric behavior. He stood there and waited without embarrassment, turning his head to look at the view of the Yangtze River outside the ship's side.
After a while, Jiang Peijiu looked up at Ye Sheng and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
It was a puzzling question, but Ye Sheng still answered it. He looked at Jiang Peijiu and shook his head gently, "To be honest, it's not very good. I have been diving very frequently recently, and my spirit has been tense because of the important mission. Today
When I woke up in the morning, I felt uncomfortable all over and my head felt dizzy. I took a cold shower and drank a cup of instant coffee before I felt better."
"So you also had a nightmare last night?" Jiang Peijiu looked at him and asked, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"That's right." Ye Sheng was stunned and nodded.
"Who is better between you and Aki in terms of pedigree rating?"
"Which side are you talking about?"
"The main thing is physical fitness."
"Both of us have an 'A' bloodline rating in Norma's file, but in terms of physical fitness, I am much better than Aki, but Aki is much better than me mentally, and I have many opponents in the academy.
She got all 'A's in the latent data calculation test, and I had to copy her results during the exam," Ye Sheng said.
"There's no need to speak for your partner anymore." Jiang Peijiu smiled and shook her head, "Go and inform Aki to come to the deck and ask everyone who is awake on the Monyach to come to the deck."
Ye Sheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Peijiu, who was holding Si Nan and looking at the sparkling but empty river surface again, but a different light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his tone gradually became darker, "Professor, are you
Did you find anything?"
"Maybe." Jiang Peijiu looked at Jiang Mian and raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's just a guess. Whether it's accurate or not depends on what they say."
them?
Ye Sheng didn't realize what he was referring to, but after standing there for a while and realizing that the professor in front of him stopped talking, he nodded slightly and turned around and left quickly, leaving her standing alone on the side of the ship staring at Simon in her hand.
, the corner of his sight disappeared into the swaying white light of the river, as if he wanted to wear something.
