The sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun was like blood, spreading on the turbid water of the Xun River, glowing with a layer of greasy red light.
Qin Geng His bare feet were stepping on the slippery deck, and he had already taken off his pair of leather boots. Water Control
He wiped his face casually and brought down a hand mixed with river mud and fishy blood, which was left by the Mutant Dragon Carp just now.
The heat in the body has not dissipated yet.
The meat of that big carp is indeed rare Treasure Medicine.
If Nine-Turn Bear-Snake Pill is like cooking oil in a fierce fire, it will burn all the internal organs of a person;
Then this Dragon Carp meat is made of ginseng soup that is stewed slowly over a warm fire. It moistens and nourishes every inch of the muscles, bones and membranes silently.
The battle just now seemed dangerous, but in fact it allowed him to learn a lot of tricks.
"Huh----"
Qin Geng exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked inwards.
The bottleneck on that layer, which was originally like a solid piece of iron, has now been washed away by this watery force and has become much looser.
But he was not in a hurry to recall his progress in martial arts. His mind was spinning rapidly, but he was thinking about something else.
"This Dragon Carp only has brute strength and a thin trace of dragon energy, but his brain is not easy to use."
Qin Geng leaned on the side of the ship, looking at the waves rolling under his feet, thinking in his mind.
That beast just now, apart from fighting on instinct, didn't even have any decent tactics, let alone Demon Arts Supernatural Ability.
Compared with the Red Carp in the well of Cold Mountain Temple, this is not even a bit worse.
If Red Carp can understand people's language, know the world, and can even see through his Fate Pattern, then he is called a real "spirit".
And this one just now was, at best, a blessed beast.
"Dragon Vein----"
Qin Geng's fingers tapped lightly on the side of the boat.
"Master said that Great Xin Taizu Severing Heaven from Earth suppressed all Demons back then."
"This suppression suppresses the spiritual intelligence."
"The things under the water were probably hiding before Dragon Vein stood up."
Tianjin River The water is a thousand feet deep, and Underground River are crisscrossed underneath, connecting to the sea.
Those large tombs, Water Eye, and caves are like the blood vessels under this River Bottom.
"On weekdays, Dragon Vein is pressed down, and they sleep inside, or they are pretending to be dead.
"Now Bell Mountain, Origin Mountain, plus the first one, the three Formation Eye are broken, the cover is loose."
"Earth Veins surged up and woke them up."
Qin Geng's eyes flashed.
This is like a hibernating snake. When it first wakes up, its body is the stiffest and its brain is the slowest.
The Dragon Carp just now is an example.
If it wakes up completely and regains Demon Beast's intelligence, I'm afraid it won't be enough to fill the gap between its teeth with its current abilities.
"Opportunity."
"This is a huge opportunity."
Qin Geng licked his chapped lips, his greed came back again.
"Since they have just woken up, their minds are not yet clear, and some are even still half asleep and half awake——"
"Then if I can find their lair, find those Underground River nodes and underwater tombs where they hide."
"While they are confused, touch them directly."
"One knife at a time."
"Isn't this equal to picking up experience for free? Picking up for free Blood Fare?"
Thinking of this, Qin Geng's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
This is much faster and safer than waiting for Foreigners to arrive on the river.
To kill Foreigners, you have to guard against cold shots, and you have to share the credit with the intrigues above.
Killing the living and dead fish under the water can make a fortune in silence.
"The key is how to find it."
Qin Geng frowned slightly.
It's a dark place under the water, and the entrance to the Underground River is even more hidden. It's too inefficient to just rely on the big shrimp Xia Qi to bump around.
Moreover, some places are natural mazes, and it is easy to get in but not get out.
"Feng Shui."
Qin Geng Two words popped into my mind.
Water has waterways, and mountains have dragons.
This is a place where monsters choose to sleep underground. They definitely won't choose a fierce place to suffocate themselves to death. They must choose a place that hides the wind and gathers energy.
Or Earth Veins is a frustrated node.
"As long as I can understand the Feng Shui under the water, I can Qi Reading and fix acupuncture points."
"Then this entire Xun River water system, and even the Tianjin underground Underground River network, in my eyes is a map with treasures marked on it."
Qin Geng The more I think about it, the more wild this approach becomes, but the more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.
"Feng Shui Master This profession must be changed."
"And Physician."
Qin Geng touched his chest. Although he won the battle just now, his internal organs were still a little shaken.
If this kind of hidden injury cannot be treated in time, it will accumulate and become a serious obstacle in martial arts in the future.
"If you learn medical skills, you can not only regulate your body, but also make full use of those Demon Beast essence and blood materials to refine medicine and brew wine without wasting it."
Make up your mind.
Qin Geng put more force with his hands and rocked the oar very fast.
The boat was like an arrow leaving the string, piercing the river and going straight to the Wave-Quelling Bureau dock.
After paying the job, I changed my clothes.
Qin Geng didn't linger in the Yamen, nor did he brag about today's victory with his colleagues.
Making a fortune silently is the last word.
He went back first Tanlong Alley.
Abacus Song is not here, I guess he went to various truck entrances to do inventory.
Qin Geng entered the house and put into his arms the few feng shui books that he had picked up over the past few days, and brought the Medical Text book that he had not had time to look at carefully.
After going out, he turned around and entered the winding alley, heading straight to the south of the city.
Osmanthus Fragrance Studio.
No matter when I visit this paper shop, there is always a cool air.
The two white paper lanterns hanging at the door were swaying in the wind, and the candles inside were pale and pale.
--
Before I even entered the door, I could smell the smell of paste mixed with the fragrance of bamboo sticks, and an indescribable earthy smell.
"Seventh Senior Brother?"
Qin Geng Pushed open the half-open wooden door, and the door shaft made a heart-wrenching "squeak" sound.
There was no one in the shop.
Those tied up Paper Person, paper horses, and paper houses are piled up close to each other.
Under the dim light, the two lumps of Plateau red painted on those Paper Person faces looked particularly penetrating, and the pairs of painted eyes seemed to be staring straight at the people who came in.
If you are timid, your calves will have to twist at this moment.
"Backyard."
A tired voice came from the curtain behind.
Qin Geng Pick up the curtain and enter the house.
The backyard is not big, filled with piles of unsplit bamboo shoots.
Lu Xingmin is sitting on a small horse, holding a sharp bamboo knife in his hand, and is cutting a piece of bamboo.
The way he looks today is quite embarrassing.
The dressy Earth Official in the past was now covered in dried yellow mud at the hem of his gown, with a few dead grass hanging from his cuffs, and a thick layer of mud on the soles of his shoes.
Although the face had been wiped, the eye sockets were sunken and full of red bloodshot eyes, showing the haggard look of Essence, Qi, and Spirit being hollowed out.
"What's wrong? Xiao Shi?"
Lu Xingmin didn't stop, the bamboo strips seemed to be alive in his hands, and they were split into uniform filaments in an instant.
"Looking at the moisture all over you, you just came out of the river?"
Qin Geng was not polite and found a cleaner wooden block to sit on.
"I just killed a big guy, so I stopped by my senior brother's place to ask for advice on a few tricks."
"Senior brother, I have read through the Feng Shui books you gave me these past few days. I have some insights, but also a little confusion."
Qin Geng got straight to the point. "I thought, if you want to get into this business seriously, you should be Feng Shui Master, show people Yin Dwelling Yang Dwelling, determine acupuncture points and so on, how should you do this job? What's the point?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xingmin paused with the bamboo knife in his hand, raised his head, and a trace of surprise flashed in his red eyes.
"Did you see something?"
He looked Qin Geng up and down, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile that was not a smile.
"In this business, the threshold lies outside the book. Just reading is just a dead study. If you really get to the bottom of it, Compass will turn around and the world will spin. If you don't have any real understanding, then you are a liar.
Lu Xingmin threw the bamboo strips in his hand on the ground and pointed at the layout of the backyard.
"Since you said you have some experience, then you can show me your skills to senior brother."
"If you don't look at anything else, just look at the backyard of my shop."
"Tell me, what is the name of Feng Shui Formation in this backyard? Why do I show it like this?"
Qin Geng stood up and was in no hurry to speak.
He put his hands behind his back and walked twice in the small backyard.
This yard looks chaotic, but in fact there is order within the chaos.
At the due north corner, there is a huge water tank with several black Grass Goldfishs in it, and a few pieces of duckweed floating on the water.
Directly to the south, that is, under the back wall of the shop, there is a Bagua Mirror hanging, with the mirror facing the water vat.
On the east and west sides, there are a large number of bamboo and paper materials piled up.
In the middle of the yard, there is an old locust tree with a red rope wrapped around its trunk and an inconspicuous Bluestone buried under the tree.
Qin Geng stepped on the piece of Bluestone, then looked up at the stars in the sky, and finally his eyes fell on the water tank.
"Brother, is this the game of "Kan-Li Mutual Aid, Locust Shade Baleful-Intent Suppression"?"
Qin Geng spoke with a firm tone.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Lu Xingmin became interested, touched the big tea jar from the side and took a sip.
"This paper shop deals in the business of dead people. Paper Person Paper horses are yin objects and can easily attract unclean things, that is, evil spirits."
Qin Geng pointed to the shop in front. "The front Yin Energy is heavy. If it cannot be dispersed, it will not only hurt people, but also cause trouble."
"So, senior brother, you placed this big vat at the north end of the backyard."
"Kan is water, which governs yin, but the Grass Goldfish raised in this tank are living creatures. Between movement and stillness, they can absorb Yin Energy and turn dead water into living water.""
"Bagua Mirror, the side you hang on it absorbs the Yang energy at noon and reflects it into the water tank."
"This is called Water and Fire in Harmony."
"Use the yang from the fire to boil the yin in the water, and evaporate the yin Killing Intent that seeped in from the shop in front."
Qin Geng walked under the old locust tree and patted the trunk.
"As for this locust tree, there are ghosts beside it. It is a tree that attracts evil."
"But you locked the tree with a red rope and buried Mount Tai Stone Guardian underneath."
"This is treating the locust tree as a dung bucket", sucking all the remaining evil spirits into the tree, and then suppressing them with red ropes and Mount Tai stones, and pressing them underground."
"In this way, although this shop is engaged in business in the underworld, the backyard is full of yang energy and the yin and yang are balanced."
"Brother, am I right?"
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Lu Xingmin put down the teapot and clapped twice.
That withered face finally revealed a hint of genuine appreciation.
"A good boy, he has some sense."
"I didn't read those few books in vain. This is a good introduction to my eyesight.
The metaphor of "especially the locust tree used as a dung bucket" is a bit crude, but it is the truth.
Lu Xingmin stood up and moved his somewhat stiff back, causing the joints to crackle.
"It seems you really put your heart into it."
"But----"
Lu Xingmin As soon as the topic changed, the smile on his face faded, and the fatigue and gloominess crept up again.
He walked to the water tank, looked at the black fish swimming inside, and sighed.
"Xiao Shi, this Feng Shui method is originally a method of surveying the world and taking advantage of the general trend to practice."
"But now----"
He shook his head and said in a low voice, "Dragon-Guard Office, you saw it over there too."
"On the surface, it looks like a huge thing, but in fact it's already rotten inside. Although Shen Yi and Jia Xincun want to do something, they are just paper craftsmen. They can fix it for a while, but they can't fix it forever."
"Our Martial World is in disarray."
"Some want to be Foreigners's dogs, some want to take advantage of the situation, but there are only a few who really want to hold on to this foundation."
Lu Xingmin turned around and looked at Qin Geng extremely seriously. "This Great Xin Dynasty, I think it's hanging."
"Dragon Vein's nine eyes will reveal three of them. This is the number of days and a foregone conclusion."
"The dragon energy is like the water in this vat. If the vat is broken, the water will drain out sooner or later.
39
"All we can do is delay."
"A day's delay is a day, a year's delay is a year."
Qin Geng was silent.
Although I had already had a premonition, these words had a different weight when they came from the mouth of Senior Brother Earth Official.
"Senior brother, is there really nothing we can do?"
"No way."
Lu Xingmin smiled miserably and pointed to the dirt on his body, "I went to the mountains these days because I wanted to repair Origin Mountain that Formation Eye."
"Guess what?"
"Then Formation Eye was not blown up, but contaminated."
"Foreigners used dirty blood to directly destroy the earth veins."
"Dragon-Guard Office It took a lot of effort from Old Nose to seal the hole.
97
"But that's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. It's already broken inside and can't be saved.
17
Lu Xingmin sat back on the horse, looking a little uninterested.
"So, Xiao Shi."
"Senior brother, let me tell you something that comes from my heart."
"Don't expect the court, and don't expect how long this Dragon Vein can last."
"Tianjin It seems that everything is calm, but there are turbulent undercurrents underneath, but Demons all the ghosts and monsters have appeared. This is still the foot of the emperor, Dragon Vein important ground, like Great Xin other places, It was really chaos. Demons was revived everywhere. There was chaos and chaos. There were constant disasters caused by soldiers, monsters and men. The court could not use the manpower, and Dragon-Guard Office could not add new support. Dragon Vein was destined to be beheaded."
"If Dragon Vein is really broken, then the world and the path of spiritual practice will be broken in the future."
"We have to hurry up and master this skill before the sky falls."
"While you still have some breath now, you can earn as much as you can and practice as high as you can."
"There is no need to overwhelm one's body with many skills."
""When the time comes, even if this Great Xin dies, we will still be alive."
Qin Geng felt awe-struck in his heart.
The seventh senior brother's words revealed a sense of sobriety after despair.
This coincides with his thoughts.
Taking advantage of the troubled times, develop crazily.
"Senior brother taught me, and I have written it down."
Qin Geng nodded solemnly.
"Okay, don't say these depressing words."
Lu Xingmin waved his hand and dismissed the heavy topic.
"You want to learn Feng Shui and take on jobs to practice, that's right."
"Practical combat brings true knowledge."
"But I am a paper shop here, and all the people here are dead people. Yin Dwelling has a lot of Feng Shui, and most of them are small businesses, and they can't make any big names."
"If you want to really make a name for yourself in this industry, if you want to see the big things happening, if you want to make a lot of money, then you should look for those things hidden under the water——"
Lu Xingmin pointed to the door. "Tomorrow, you go find Third Master Cao."
"He is the heavenly official of Directorate of Astronomy and the master of Feng Shui in Tianjin."
"The resources that old guy has in his hands are incomparable to us."
"In Tianjin, whether you are showing Yang Dwelling to dignitaries, showing Dragon Vein to the court, or even looking for treasure lairs for those warlords, he is there."
"As long as you show this skill, he will definitely treat you as a treasure."
Qin Geng's eyes lit up.
"Okay."
Qin Geng stood up and saluted Lu Xingmin with cupped fists.
"Thank you, senior brother, for showing me the way."
"You should rest early. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to support you. Don't break your bones."
Lu Xingmin smiled, picked up the sword, and began to peel the bamboo again.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
"In these troubled times, just this little craft work can make people feel more at ease."
Qin Geng came out of Osmanthus Fragrance Studio, and the sky outside was completely dark.
The wind got stronger, making the signboards on the street rattle.
But his heart was full of fire.
There is a way.
See you tomorrow Third Master Cao, if you are into Feng Shui.
The "treasure" sleeping under the Xun River can't escape.
