Yin Xiu and Ren Qi talked incessantly.
From green water and green mountains, to the Milky Way and the universe, snowflakes and leaves.
It was first asked by Yin Xiu, and later it was told by Ren Qi himself. Some were straightforward, some were obscure, some were as clear as spring water, and some were as blurry as window grilles.
While the two were chatting, there was a sudden sound of soft footsteps in the forest in front of them.
Yin Xiu couldn't help but pick up a piece of talisman paper in her hand.
However, Ren Qi stretched out his hand to stop Yin Xiu, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous.
"Can you see what's in front of you?" Yin Xiu asked curiously.
After all, it was dark ahead, and the trees were lush and green, covering people's sight.
"In synaesthesia, you don't need to see through your eyes."
As soon as Ren Qi finished speaking, several figures emerged from the forest and brought the lantern close to his face.
At this time, Yin Xiucai recognized Wei Dahong and others.
Lei Zi, who was betrayed by Lei Gong before, has been found and rescued.
Except for the fact that his lips were white due to the cold weather, he didn't seem to be in any serious condition.
Wei Dahong let out a long breath, trotted forward in a few steps, and asked with a bit of worry: "Where is the master from before, oh no, the thief?"
"Already gone."
Yin Xiu pointed in the direction where Lei Gong left.
Wei Dahong opened his eyes and looked over there, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
"Leaving? So soon?"
"Yes, he was very busy and didn't have time to chat with us for a few words and then left." Yin Xiu said.
"Turns out he is a busy man."
After a pause, Wei Dahong was still very happy and said: "As expected, you are all capable people. It only took a few strokes to send him away."
"It's okay, he almost sent us away."
Yin Xiu patted her chest, "By the way, let's not rest now. We have to change places and leave now."
"Now?"
Even though he knew that it was no longer safe here and that if a master left, another master would come, Wei Dahong still had to think about where to go next, especially in such a dark night.
"How about ten miles ahead from here, there is a village called Xiao Lizhuang. Maybe we can rest there."
"Then didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Hey, if there is no other way, I would rather spend the night in this forest and suffer the cold." Wei Dahong said helplessly.
"Oh? So what do you mean?" Yin Xiu was a little curious.
Wei Dahong was a little worried, "Because the village is haunted at night."
"Isn't that the same as before?"
"Spit!"
Wei Dahong waved his hands repeatedly, "How can it be the same? At most, there are just some weird and evil things there, and haven't they been solved?
But the ghosts in Xiaoli Village were so violent that many monks and Taoists came in standing and came out lying down. ”
Liu Banxian also came over at this time and heard their conversation.
"This ghost is so fierce, how can Xiaoli Village still be inhabited?" he asked in surprise.
"The strange thing is here. People in Xiaoli Village have nothing to do during the day. They still have to plow the fields and go to work.
But you have to leave early and come back late. When it's time to light the lamp at night, no matter how urgent you are, you'll have to deal with it in the house and refuse to go out to the courtyard.
What's even more strange is that as long as the people of Xiaoli Village leave the five-mile radius of there, they will inevitably encounter misfortune, so no one dares to leave Xiaoli Village. Not only old men and women, but also some people visiting relatives in the caravan will definitely not be able to get out as long as they stay there for a long time. ”
"Isn't that a so-called prison?" Liu Banxian became more and more surprised.
"Absolutely," Wei Dahong scratched his head, "So no one wants to go there unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Then how about we change to a wild land?" Liu Banxian suggested.
"I agree," Yin Xiu nodded, "I think it's good to stay in the wild and look at the stars and the moon. It's carefree."
"Where did the stars and the moon come from tonight?"
Ma Xiaoyu walked over and glanced at Yin Xiu and Liu Banxian, who completely wanted to take a detour or simply freeze in the wild all night.
"Do you think, if we don't find a place to move first, will those people still come to our door?"
She was obviously talking about Lei Gong's accomplices, the White Lotus Sect.
Although I don't think there will be another master of the synesthesia realm like Thunder God, as long as one such person appears, it will be a huge trouble, let alone if he brings a bunch of White Lotus Sect Dharma Kings with him.
At present, without ruling out that the White Lotus Sect has locked the location, it is obviously a good choice to find a village that no ghost is willing to go to.
"What is there to be afraid of ghosts? With two Taoist priests and a fortune teller, how can we be afraid of ghosts?"
Ma Xiaoyu was a little angry, "Could it be that the Ma family's exorcisms, the Liu family's feng shui skills, and, and... are fake?"
"I love hearing what you say!"
Liu Banxian snapped the fan in his hand and tightened it, "It's such a small ghost. There's no reason why so many handsome guys and beauties here should be afraid of it. I just want to see what's causing the trouble?"
When it comes to the feng shui of the Liu family, no matter what his previous plans were, Liu Banxian will inevitably be aroused at this moment with some courage and temper. No one can stop him.
Helpless, Yin Xiu could only spread her hands and said: "Then let's go?"
"Of course!"
Liu Banxian responded, "And we have to hurry up, otherwise those ghosts won't be able to do anything weird at dawn, wouldn't we be in vain?"
As soon as he heard what he said, even Wei Dahong, who was full of worry, felt confident now.
After all, he had seen the abilities displayed by Liu Banxian and others before. In his eyes, Liu Banxian's words and deeds were all like those righteous people who were able to eliminate demons and defend the Tao.
Now not only Wei Dahong, but also everyone in Weijiagou felt like they were in those strange novels. In the storytelling stories, the disciples and helpers who guide the devil master and guide the way forward couldn't help but feel their faces. There is light, and the steps become bolder.
Yin Xiu glanced at Ren Qi and said, "Do you have any objection to going to Xiaoli Village?"
"What can I say?"
Ren Qi didn't take it seriously, "Here, I'm the only one who can't be the master. I'll just follow you wherever you tell me to go. As for anything else, I can't care about anything else."
"Then you are just like Hai Dongqing?" Yin Xiu said helplessly.
"No, I am different from him."
Ren Qi crossed his hands and said, "He can ignore anything and run away when something happens. However, I still want to protect Liu Banxian's life and defeat the enemies of the White Lotus Sect for you."
"You don't have to do this! It's like who begged you? Can't we do it? Are you showing off?"
"You!"
Ren Qi looked up angrily, only to see that Yin Xiu had already jumped on the horse a few steps ahead, and set off with everyone who had packed up, walking far ahead.
……
After experiencing Thunder Lord's attack, everyone's original nervous mood had relaxed a lot. Even though they knew that their group was going to Xiaoli Village, which was rumored to be very scary, few people felt nervous.
Wei Dahong and others were just curious and looking forward to it.
As for what I'm looking forward to, it's hard to say.
After being stuck in the snow for a while, everyone cheered up as the person leading the way shouted.
Xiaoli Village, here we are.
"Pick me up." Ma Xiaoyu stretched out her hand to Yin Xiu who was riding the horse.
Yin Xiu took her soft hand and pulled it gently. Ma Xiaoyu easily mounted the horse and sat in front of Yin Xiu.
"Don't you know how to ride a horse?"
"There are only cows in the country. Where do horses come from? I have only seen natives riding elephants in the team of wandering gods."
Ma Xiaoyu pushed her hair behind her ears, and her silver earrings swayed under her earlobes as the horse moved.
"By the way, I'm curious, how do you know how to ride a horse? People on Hong Kong Island either take buses or trams to get to and from get off work. At most, they just take a ferry. Where did you learn to ride a horse?"
"Happy Valley, I learned it in Happy Valley."
Yin Xiu grinned, "I was watching horses at Happy Valley, and a horse owner said that I looked like the skeleton of a jockey, so he let me ride for free."
"Really?"
Ma Xiaoyu didn't believe it, "You don't look like a jockey."
"Then what do you think I look like?" Yin Xiu asked.
"In my opinion, you are more like the one who is at the forefront of the Youshen team and is responsible for sponsoring the team."
"Well, is there such a position?"
"Yes."
Ma Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "It's the ones who walk in the front, holding a bowl and a bamboo stick."
"Then I understand."
Yin Xiu lightly kicked the horse's butt, and the horse started to trot. Ma Xiaoyu staggered wildly and could only hold onto Yin Xiu's sleeve tightly, not daring to tease him like before.
"Hey, it's nice to be young."
Liu Banxian sighed while sitting on the carriage, and then looked at Ren Qi, who was also riding on the horse.
"Brother Master, why don't you give me a ride so I can check out the situation?"
Ren Qi glanced at him, "Why, you can't ride a horse either?"
"Yes, yes."
Liu Banxian scratched his neck and said, "I usually ride foreign horses. I don't know how to ride local horses. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ridden in a carriage all the way. Do you think I am trying to be comfortable? How pleasant is it to ride a horse?
< br>
Stop and go, there are endless scenery along the way. Which hero doesn't ride a horse to travel around the world? ”
"But you are not a hero, you are a Feng Shui master."
"So I don't know how to ride a horse. Take me for a ride, quickly!"
"There is a man and a woman riding a horse. If others see it, it will at most be called an adulterer. What's going on with two men riding a horse?" Ren Qi frowned.
"Brother Master, when did you talk so much? I haven't disliked you yet. Don't forget that you have to protect me!"
Liu Banxian stretched out his hand to him.
However, Ren Qi pretended that he didn't see or hear him. He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and walked forward without any intention of taking him with him.
Liu Banxian had no choice but to urge the driver to speed up and catch up from behind.
At this time, Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu had taken the lead to reach a small slope. The bottom seemed to be in a small pit. The place they looked down on was Xiaoli Village.
This Xiaoli Village seems to be more prosperous than other villages along the way, even though it only looks like there are not so many ruins.
"What's going on? Do you see any clues?" Yin Xiu asked.
Ma Xiaoyu didn't answer, but took out a small box with a blue velvet surface from his pocket and opened it gently.
A few grapefruit leaves lay neatly inside.
Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu each took two tablets, wiped them on their eyes, and then looked over, everything was abnormal.
I saw that above Xiaoli Village, a huge black air condensed into a ball, like a huge tornado, constantly circling and surrounding.
Even though it was dark at the moment, the tornado was still very "conspicuous" and made people feel uneasy.
Ren Qi also rode up. Like the others, he didn't see the so-called black energy, but he couldn't help but feel goosebumps on the back of his hands.
"Hey, this is a tiger trap!"
Liu Banxian jumped down from the carriage and was amazed.
"Master, what is the Tiger Trap?" Wei Dahong asked.
Liu Banxian did not answer, but took out a volume of atlas from his pocket and asked him to hold the lantern closer.
Then he turned to one of the pages under the light and pointed it out to everyone.
"The tiger falls into the pit. In fact, in the hexagram, it should be called [the tiger falls into the pit]. Whether it is a hexagram or not, you win the lottery.
The book "Elephant" says: A tiger falls into a pit, it is easy to move forward and difficult to retreat, it is self-defeating when a plan fails, and it is implicated in illness and speech.
If you look at the location of Xiaoli Village, it is surrounded by high hills and slopes, but it is at a low level, just like a tiger falling into a deep pit.
Such a position, even if not considered from the perspective of Feng Shui and Kanyu, is still very disadvantageous from the so-called scientific point of view.
It doesn't matter the usual wind, rain, thunder and lightning. If there is heavy rain or snow, the terrain will be affected by rainwater backflow and landslides.
I see there are few trees on the top and the soil is..."
Liu Banxian squatted down, picked up a handful of soil and rubbed it on his hands.
"As I expected, the soil here is soft and a layer of it will inevitably be washed away by the rain.
With a terrain like this and an environment like this, within thirty years, this village would have been covered by rocks and disappeared overnight. ”
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and they all agreed.
"However, in such a dangerous place, even if I didn't consult a Feng Shui master when I first built the village, I just hurriedly found a place to settle.
But wasn't there any expert who gave some guidance in the process? Tell them to move out of here? "Yin Xiu said doubtfully.
"It doesn't take an expert, but anyone who has learned a little bit about Feng Shui and Kanyu will definitely not be able to build a village here. Even if they build a shady house underneath, I'm afraid that if someone wants to visit the tombs in a few years, they won't be able to find the tombstones of their ancestors. ”
Liu Banxian touched his chin, "But whoever can ask people to build a village here must be a master."
"You mean, this place wasn't built just anywhere?" Even Wei Dahong noticed something was wrong.
"Of course. Who would build a village in a place like this? It's high on the four sides and low in the middle. It really becomes a cage. If there are thieves or enemies coming, if you look at this slope, everything will be gone. Close your eyes, nothing can be hidden.
But this terrain is very much like what is called a "cornucopia" in Feng Shui. It is high on all sides and low in the middle. Isn't it just like a cornucopia? ”
"But, didn't you say that?" Wei Dahong became even more confused.
"What's so strange about this?"
Liu Banxian glanced at him and said, "Feng shui is bad. Most of the time, the slightest difference can make a huge difference. You have to have something in the cornucopia, and you have to have wealth! What is wealth? Wealth is water.
If you want to make the so-called cornucopia in Feng Shui Kanyu, you need a lot of water. One or two water is not enough, but the more the better. Many rivers pass through and merge here, and this can be called the so-called cornucopia.
Look at the bottom of Xiaoli Village, there is not a single stream of water. To get water, you have to climb up the slope. How can such a place be a treasure trove and suitable for human habitation?
It is basic common sense to live by the water and build against the mountains. No matter how stupid you are and don't understand Feng Shui, you still don't know where it is convenient, right?
When you’re choosing a bed, you’ll know to find one that’s comfortable to sleep on! ”
"So, you are saying that someone plotted against the ancestors of Xiaoli Village? They tricked them into building a village here?" Yin Xiu asked.
"It can only be like this. Someone used the art of Feng Shui to do a huge bad thing."
"But I think bad things are bad things, there is no big or small difference." Ma Xiaoyu said seriously.
Liu Banxian gave a thumbs up, "You are right, Miss Ma."
"Then let's go in and take a look. Maybe we'll know what that person wants to do right away."
Yin Xiu shook the reins and the horse moved forward slowly. (End of chapter)
