When Old Lady Dong and I looked at Lu Xiaoying, the latter whispered, "Grandma, can I have a word with Wu Zhao alone?"
Mrs. Dong hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay! We're nearby, just call us when you're done talking."
After Old Lady Dong left, Lu Xiaoying asked, “Wu Zhao, what do you think of the old wolf’s grave?”
"What do you mean?" I knew Lu Xiaoying's words had other implications, but I didn't understand what she meant at all.
Lu Xiaoying looked at me for a long time, until he was sure that I was not playing dumb, then he said: "I think the old wolf's tomb was built by the earth vein."
I was shocked and said, "Earth veins? Are you talking about the earth veins of the Half Life Path?"
"Yes!" Lu Xiaoying said, "In the Half-Life Dao, the five veins of heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts each have their own strengths. The descendants of the Earth Vein are good at combining Feng Shui with numerology and forcibly changing fate through the power of Feng Shui. I think the Old Wolf's Tomb was created by the Earth Vein."
"Feng Shui can change fate? Is that even possible?" I whispered to myself, and suddenly it dawned on me. Feng Shui gathers luck and makes people prosperous in wealth and career, isn't it just changing fate? But Feng Shui changes luck, not fate.
But what about the power of Feng Shui? Can Feng Shui not change destiny? The answer is yes, otherwise, the emperors of all ages would not have gone to such great lengths to find the dragon veins.
Lu Xiaoying thought I didn't understand, so he continued to explain: "Think about it yourself. Whether it's a yang house or a yin house, Feng Shui is changing the luck of the living. The secret method passed down by the earth veins is to change 'changing luck' into 'changing fate', and what is changed is the fate of the living."
I asked back, "Has anyone from the earth vein ever succeeded?"
"No." Lu Xiaoying shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the ancestors of the five veins of heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts all tried to change their fate at the same time, but they all failed. That's why later generations encountered all kinds of hardships. After that, the descendants of the five veins also tried to change their fate, but no one succeeded."
"Finally, a master of human connections risked his life to scatter his soul and deduced a prophecy: Heaven and earth will unite, gods and ghosts will meet. When wind and clouds rise, dragons and tigers will gather."
I looked up and said, "He means that the four meridians of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods should be combined in pairs?"
"Yes!" Lu Xiaoying said, "But the secrets of the five meridians of half life were obtained by our ancestors with great effort. Who can willingly hand over the secrets? I don't know what the results of the research of the heaven and earth meridians are, but the gods and ghosts meridians have made a covenant between gods and ghosts."
Lu Xiaoying said solemnly: "According to the agreement, when the descendants of the God and Ghost lineages meet, they must travel together. Whoever can save the other three times first will have to hand over the secret method."
"When I saw the three ghost eye coins on your knife, I knew you were the descendant of the ghost vein, so I asked you for help in a critical moment."
"So that's how it is." No wonder my grandfather said that I must get the Heaven-Defying Hand no matter what. His original intention was not to let me take it by any means, but to tell me that no matter how much sacrifice I have to make, I must be the first to save the bottom lane and win three times.
Lu Xiaoying said: "As far as I know, the meeting of gods and ghosts was the last gathering of the five half-life veins. Since then, the five veins have gone their separate ways and have never met each other again. Or, the descendants of the five veins are waiting for the meeting in destiny."
Lu Xiaoying was right. The prediction of that master of connections was like a heavy hammer, causing the originally solid Half-Life Path to fall apart in an instant.
The thorn of "the merging of the two meridians" is in the hearts of the descendants of the five meridians, and it will explode sooner or later. It is better to separate them quickly before the open and covert attacks begin.
Lu Xiaoying said: "Now that we have met, the appointment between gods and ghosts will officially begin."
No wonder Lu Xiaoying didn't show any panic when she was captured by me. It turned out that she thought I had already known about the agreement between gods and ghosts.
I said without comment: "Let's talk about the appointment between gods and ghosts later. I want to hear you talk about the ley lines."
Lu Xiaoying said: "Since that fellow disciple from the Earth Vein had predicted that the Ghost Vein would arrive, he couldn't have left no backup plan. I always feel that there might be something fishy about the Old Wolf's Tomb. You rashly agreed to their calculation of the Old Wolf's Tomb, I'm afraid..."
I shook my head and said, "Even if there were no immortals, I would still look for the Old Wolf's Tomb, because I have already taken over the Heng family's business. I suspect that the old man of the Heng family's final destination is related to the Old Wolf's Tomb, so it is imperative to find the Old Wolf's Tomb."
"But..." Lu Xiaoying finally nodded and said, "Okay, I respect your opinion. However, I want to cooperate with you this time."
"Cooperate with me?" I asked back, "Why do I feel like you should be making trouble for me?"
Lu Xiaoying narrowed his eyes and said, "If there is no agreement between gods and ghosts, I will try every possible way to kill you."
Lu Xiaoying’s current attitude is normal.
After I greeted Old Lady Dong and came back, I said, "I can help you find the old wolf's grave. But I also need your help."
Old Lady Dong said readily, "No problem. Just tell us what you want. As long as we can do it, we will do it without hesitation."
I said, "Let my friend out first, and then take my other two friends up the mountain."
"No problem!" As Old Lady Dong waved her hand, a figure immediately ran up and down the mountain.
I continued, "Is there any place nearby where I can see the entire mountain area?"
"No." Old Lady Dong shook her head and said, "Sandaogangzi is the highest mountain in this area of 100 miles, and the terrain is very complicated. Even if you stand on the top of the mountain, you may not be able to see the whole mountain. If you want to see the whole mountain, you have to travel in your mind."
Spiritual travel means that the consciousness leaves the body directly. Not to mention that I can't do it now, even if I can do it, I don't want to take the risk.
Lu Xiaoying said: "How about I contact a helicopter to come over?"
"Not for now." I turned to look at Old Lady Dong, "Do you have a map?"
"Yes! I'll send someone to get it for you." Not long after, Old Lady Dong brought me a map.
That map was from the Japanese. Although I didn't know Japanese characters, I could understand the map.
When I was squatting on the ground studying the map, the people of Old Lady Dong had already brought the monks up. I nodded to them and looked at the map again: "From the map, Sandagangzi is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land. If that gentleman was going to use Feng Shui to reverse fate, he would definitely choose Longyan. But, look for yourselves, is there any location of Longyan in the whole mountain?"
Old Lady Dong didn't even glance at the map: "Although the Feng Shui here can be called excellent, it is not a dragon vein. Did you calculate it wrong?"
"Impossible!" Lu Xiaoying denied. "You just said that this place has excellent feng shui, but why is the harvest poor every year? That can only mean that some kind of force has extracted the earth's energy within a radius of ten miles. Therefore, there must be a spiritual cave with excellent feng shui nearby."
Old Lady Dong's eyes lit up. "Could the Feng Shui cave you mentioned be the lost old wolf's grave? I mean, could the old wolf's grave have gone there?"
I turned around and asked, "When did the old wolf's grave disappear?"
Old Lady Dong said: "About twenty years ago!"
"That's right!" I stood up and said, "Back then, Heng Kun told Boss Heng's father to grit his teeth and persevere for twenty years. Why was that?"
"Let's make this guess. If Heng Kun had not buried himself in a Feng Shui treasure land, but instead buried himself in a vacant location that would bring bad luck and bad fortune, would you have thought that he would do this?"
Old Lady Dong shook her head and said, "No way! No Feng Shui master would do that. Wouldn't that be like pushing your descendants to death?"
"Yes!" I said seriously, "You have been keeping an eye on the Heng family, fearing that they would ruin the feng shui of Old Wolf's Tomb. Therefore, he dared not touch Old Wolf's Tomb, and even dared not look for a relatively good cemetery. Because he knew that as soon as he was buried, you would come and see where he was buried. Only if he was buried in a bad place or an empty place would you not suspect him."
I changed the subject and said, "But his grave must be on the path that Old Wolf's Grave must pass through. Since Old Wolf's Grave can move, it must have a destination, otherwise, why would it move?"
“I guess there must be a cemetery of top-quality or even divine quality here. The final destination of Old Wolf’s Tomb is there.”
"If Heng Kun gets stuck, the old wolf's tomb will move forward and push his body over first. In this way, he will enter the cemetery before the old wolf, and the Feng Shui there will naturally become his Heng family's property."
I looked up at Old Lady Dong and said, "Do you think my speculation can explain why the Heng family became so prosperous 20 years later?"
Old Lady Dong said, "If there really is such a place, why didn't the gentleman just bury Old Man Lang there instead of going through all the trouble?"
I shook my head and said, "Perhaps, the timing was not right, or the conditions were not ripe. Perhaps..."
I looked at Old Lady Dong's expression and said, "Perhaps, the so-called change of fate for Old Wolf is just a scam. The one who really wants to enter the Feng Shui treasure land is not Old Wolf, but that gentleman."
Mrs. Dong’s expression changed: “Isn’t it possible?”
I said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, is what Black Wolf said about the Feng Shui master's burial true?"
Old Lady Dong whispered, "The Feng Shui master died not long after he buried Old Man Lang. Before he died, he specifically asked us to send a batch of gold to his descendants as a reward. We also threw his body into the river according to his request. What's wrong with that?"
I said in a deep voice, "Did his body float away along the water like a blade of grass?"
"Yes! But when we were carrying him, we didn't..." Mrs. Dong was stunned and said, "You mean, we fell into his trap? We were all fooled by him?"
I said in a deep voice: "This is just my speculation. Before finding the exact location of the old wolf's grave, I dare not draw any conclusions. The most urgent task is how to find the old wolf's grave." (To be continued)
