What I didn't expect was that what I saw using "Guanruo Guanhuo" was actually a scene full of life, like steaming fog. The wisps of life were like wolf smoke pouring out from the cracks in the earth, rushing upwards. Towards the ceiling, threads of water poured out from the gaps in the deck, straight through the outside of the ship. Even so, only a small part of the energy gathered in the sky has seeped out. Until now, the energy visible to the eye is still like clouds blocking the sky.
"This is… "
Before I could fully react, I saw that the dragon veins that had sucked up the lake water were quietly reversing, making way for the statue of a mute slave kneeling in the distance. The mute slave who was kneeling on the ground didn't know what triggered the mechanism, and the floor several meters square under him moved towards us. Under the floor that was holding the mute slave up, it was where Ling'er and I were hiding just now. Secret room.
"Get out of the secret room!" I reacted immediately and jumped into the secret room with Linger.
This time, as soon as the two of us sat down, we felt that the secret room was sinking to the ground from the position of the dragon vein. Although the secret room was sinking extremely slowly, after a few seconds, I felt that the secret room was touching the ground. This can only show that the distance between the second and third floor cabins is not very high, only about three or four meters at most.
What I didn't expect was that the tremor of the secret room landing on the ground came from my feet, and the sound of locks clenching simultaneously sounded all around the secret room. Are we locked in the secret room by a mechanism
Ling'er hurriedly got up and knocked on the wall of the secret room a few times, but the walls on all sides of the secret room showed no response. It seemed that the mechanism that opened the door was not inside, but outside the secret room.
Ling'er's expression suddenly changed, but I said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, just make peace with it now that it's here. Tulip's ancestors wouldn't specially build a coffin and wait for future generations to come and die!"
After listening to what I said, Ling'er calmed down a lot and sat down: "How do you know how to crack the dragon vein? Don't you don't understand Feng Shui?"
I lit a cigarette and said, "I don't understand Feng Shui, but I understand mythology."
I explained: "No myth or legend is a fixed story. Sometimes you need the support of other myths to find the real secret. Take the case of two dragons playing with a pearl! Many people think that the two dragons playing with a pearl are dragons. When giving birth to offspring, the old man surnamed Lin was also like this, so he regarded the position of the dragon ball as the dragon's lair. However, he did not know, or did not expect, that there was a legend of 'two dragons fighting for the pearl'."
"In the legend, there are two green | dragons who have made great contributions to heaven unintentionally, and God gave them a golden bead for their cultivation. Whoever can get the golden bead among the two green | dragons can go one step further. Ranked in the Immortal Class. But both dragons wanted to give the golden pearl to the other, so they pushed each other, and neither one was willing to swallow the golden pearl in one bite."
When I said this, I paused slightly and said: "Of course there is another version that they don't give in to each other and fight for the golden beads. That's why people mistakenly thought that they were two dragons playing with the beads. In fact, they were fighting for each other, not decline."
"I've heard people talk about the Two Dragons Playing with Pearls in Feng Shui before. The person who told me about this legend specifically mentioned it. If you see the Two Dragons Playing with Pearls game, the first thing you should do is not go to the dragon's lair. , but to see if the two dragons are of the same gender, if they are two males or two females. Then it is not two dragons playing for the pearl, but two dragons competing for the pearl."
"When two dragons compete for the Pearl, neither the Dragon Vein nor the Dragon Pearl is the best Feng Shui treasure cave. Because, apart from the Dragon Pearl, you don't know which Dragon Vein will win in the end. And the location of the Dragon Pearl determines You can't bury people. Anyone who buries their ancestors in the Dragon Ball will bear the wrath of two dragon veins and will definitely not be able to escape the fate of the whole family. This is exactly the opposite of the Erlong Xiuzhu game. In the Erlong Xizhu game, the Dragon Ball That’s the best position.”
I paused slightly and said, "If you want to bury your ancestors in the Two Dragons Battle for the Pearl, you must first kill one dragon. The best option is to wait until the remaining dragon absorbs the spiritual energy in the dragon ball, and then find the dragon's lair." "
When Ling'er heard what I said, she couldn't help but said to herself: "It turns out that Feng Shui is so complicated. It's amazing. Then how do you distinguish the male and female of the two dragon veins?"
I actually don’t understand what two dragons are fighting for the pearl, let alone the male and female dragons. Including the legend I just mentioned, it’s not a story told to me by anyone, but it’s recorded in the Book of All Things.
Ling'er suddenly asked, and I was almost stunned. But I immediately reacted: "I can't understand the male and female dragon veins, but I heard the man surnamed Lin said that this was originally a group of dragons playing with pearls, and someone deliberately cut off several of the dragon veins and turned it into a Two dragons play with the overall situation."
"As soon as he said this, I felt that Old Man Lin was wrong. A group of dragons cannot play with the pearl, they can only compete for it. How can a group of dragons give birth to a dragon pearl? It is like two lion kings competing for prey. Sometimes, there are jackals and vultures who want to come over and share the leftovers. So, I concluded that the old guy will definitely lose."
Ling'er said again: "I heard what the old man said. But I never understood why you should regard the dragon veins in Feng Shui as a real dragon. He is obviously a dead thing, but you suddenly said that the dragon is full of resentment. Then he said that they would protect the Dragon Balls with all their strength, which clearly means that they not only have flesh and blood, but also have human emotions. Is this possible?"
I said solemnly: "The biggest difference between Dongfeng mythology and the West is that Easterners believe that all things have animism. Even if a stone exists for a long time, it will become a spirit after absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and it may even become a god. Mountains and rivers naturally have the spirit of mountains and rivers, which is what later generations call mountain gods."
When I said this, I even frowned!
Mountain gods have gone through countless transformations in mythology. The mountain gods in ancient times were indeed the spirits of mountains and rivers, that is, gods born from mountains, rivers and swamps. Their status can even be on par with that of ancient times. I don’t know when the image of the mountain god changed. However, I know very well that the image of the mountain god has undergone two changes. One is that the mountain spirits are regarded as mountain gods, and the other is that the mountain god must be canonized by the heaven before he can become a god and take charge of a region on behalf of the heaven just like the land.
From a mythological point of view, the first type is more common, while the second type is relatively less recognized by most people. Most people still think that the mountain god is not actually under the jurisdiction of heaven, and is more like the grass-headed king.
However, no matter what kind of myth, they all have a common feature, that is, the later myths have dragged the mountain gods from within the mountains and rivers to outside the mountains and rivers. Is this someone deliberately concealing the existence of the mountain spirit, or is it an unexpected coincidence
But I can't discuss this issue with Ling'er now. Ling'er is not a magician, and I didn't grasp the key to the matter. Maybe Xue Yu knows the secret here, but she is my enemy, and it is unrealistic to get words from her.
Unknowingly, I spoke in a slightly lower voice. Ling'er probably noticed my embarrassment and quickly changed the subject: "Wang Huan, do you think there are other people in the secret realm besides us and the Detective?" Besides, there are others. I think someone is helping us deal with the Detective Hand?"
I pondered for a while before saying, "I prefer that no one else is around."
I said: "I felt the same way at first. After I saw the anger in the cabin, I rejected this judgment. Let's make such a conjecture?"
"The Tulip family is actually very similar to the Yao Xing lineage in Europe. They are all warlocks from China who lived in the West. Moreover, they took root in Europe earlier, even beyond our imagination. The Tulip family has married countless times with Westerners After that, the bloodline has been highly integrated, so during the Age of Discovery, the Tulip family no longer had the characteristics of the Orientals, or the characteristics were very weak."
"In the later period, after exchanges between the East and the West occurred again, the bloodline of the Tulip family was reactivated, and there were obvious Eastern ancestry in the family, just like you."
Ling'er nodded and said: "Your judgment should be correct. After the Opium War, there was a fierce collision between Eastern and Western civilizations. At that time, the status of Easterners in Europe was not high, and they were even discriminated against. But the Tulip family not only does not oppose future generations Marrying with Orientals and even focusing on cultivating descendants with Oriental ancestry seemed almost self-deprecating to Westerners at the time, but the family didn’t care. From this point of view, the family should have known for a long time that we were from In the East, it’s just that part of the patriarch’s inheritance may have been lost in a certain period of time, so we can’t find the secret.”
I nodded and said: "I suspect that the ancestors of the Tulip family are probably the subordinates of Sun En, the water fairy, or simply the descendants of Sun En. There have always been legends about Sun En that after Sun En led his men to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, , the saying of setting sail and crossing the ocean. Many people do not believe that the navigation technology of Sun En's era can support them to go to Europe, but the secrets in the forbidden area of the myth cannot be measured by common sense. "
Ling'er nodded slightly and said, "You continue."
I continued: "According to Xue Yu, Sun En should be a Dragon Vein Heavenly Master who masters the secret technique of Feng Shui. Then his descendants or subordinates will naturally have top Feng Shui masters. Among them, they are likely to include members of the Tulip family. Ancestors.”
"According to Feng Shui, luck in Feng Shui can protect future generations. The boat grave we are in should be the Feng Shui treasure land that Tulip's ancestors found for themselves."
"The aura of the Feng Shui treasure cave is not inexhaustible. Even the dragon veins occupied by the dynasty will eventually dry up. If you want your family to be prosperous forever, you have to sort out the tombs every once in a while, or collect the remains of your ancestors. Move out of the tomb, or find a way to hide the wind and gather energy."
I looked at Ling'er and said, "The descendants of the Tulip family may have returned to China more than once!"
