Tales of the Strange works

Chapter 128

    

"The chopsticks hung suspended in mid-air, and I eyed the three men in suits beside me with caution."It's fine, one of our own," Yao Yumen put down his glass."Jade, Big Bro has gone to work. 'Head' me..."That's great! After so many years, a stone python over two meters long, not to mention seeing it, I haven't even heard of it! If I could run into one again, I'd try to see if I could tame it."

"

"But... Big Brother Liu, Stone Dragon is a cold-blooded animal, and its intelligence isn't as high as that of the Mountain Macaque."

"Hey, it's fine. A four-legged snake is still a snake, snakes and rats live in the same nest, I have my own way."

"Let's not talk about that now. We can discuss it when we reach the bottom. Besides, last time we went down, we didn't encounter anything that big; they were just small bugs," he said, pointing to a rope dangling down from afar. "A few of us will go down first. Yunfeng and Xiaohong, you two stay at the back. Be careful everyone, and make sure you hold onto the ropes tightly."

"

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Several people slid down the rope into the pit, and beggar Liu left a deep impression on me when he went down.

He grabbed the rope with one hand, didn't even look down at his feet, and slid down several meters. Watching him so light and agile, with amazing arm strength, he was stronger than I, a young man!

Slipping to the bottom of the pit, Liu Yushan directly pulled out an incense stick from his bosom and lit it with a lighter. He just held it up like that.

A wisp of blue smoke slowly rose into the air.

This fragrance is unique, I've never smelled anything like it before. It smells really good, a bit like Vietnamese agarwood, but upon closer inspection, there are subtle differences.

Speaking of which, it's quite odd. After lighting this incense stick, not a single snake appeared in the vicinity.

Liu Yushan fanned himself with his hand, trying to make the incense burn more vigorously. He explained, “This is incense made by Lao Haigou for repelling snakes. Four-legged snakes are also snakes and have a keen sense of smell. As soon as they smell this fragrance, they will hide far away and dare not come out to cause trouble.

He shone his flashlight around, then said, "Yao girl, it's your turn now."

"Well," Jade Sister nodded, she took out a piece of yellow cloth from her bosom, opened the cloth, and inside was a palm-sized compass.

This compass is called a xia lou tou pan. Large lou tou pans are commonly used to observe mountains and determine dragon veins, focusing on finding a grand pattern. Smaller lou tou pans, however, are more suitable for observing ancestral tombs and locating graves.

As I said, the range at the bottom of this pit is about 200 meters. Looking down from above, it's shaped like an ellipse.

Yao Yumeng gave each of us a magnet. It wasn't very big and looked ordinary, but Sister Yu said it wasn't an ordinary magnet. This kind of magnet is called a Liuming magnet. To make this kind of magnet, you need to coat an ordinary magnet with cinnabar and bury it under a willow or locust tree for a year and a half. After that time, you take it out and clean the magnet.

Li Ming magnets are specialized for Feng Shui. These magnets react strongly to certain specific magnetic fields.

Then, he had us hold a magnet each and stand at the edges of the compass points: east, south, west, and north.

And she herself stood in the very center, her face grim as she held a small earthenware bowl.

If there were a red line connecting us right now, anyone with eyes could see that we are all exactly one meter apart, forming a perfect five-pointed star that curves inward.

At this moment, he shouted across the air, "How is it"

Yao Yumen frowned, she looked at the compass in her hand, pondered for a moment before saying: “The pulse is open well, the dry image is open well, the peace image is open well, but the cave image has no reaction. The pulse is Jiao of horned wood, the dry is Tu of heart rabbit, the peace is Hou of fire monkey, and the cave is She of beryl water.”

” Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"A water snake transforms into a dragon, fire refines the heart of a rabbit... Four thirty-five degrees."

"Yúnfēng, walk seventy steps to your left front," she ordered me.

One, two, three....

"Here I am, Jade Sister," I called out from my spot.

Next, use your hand to dig a small hole in the ground and bury the magnet you're holding inside. Cover it with soil and make sure it's well covered so it doesn't show.

"

"

I did as she said, dug a small hole, and then buried the six magnets in the hole before covering it with soil.

Okay, fall back.

“">

Yao Yumen looked around the corners, then lowered her head and looked at the compass again. Finally, she nodded towards it, "It's here, the error won't exceed one and a half meters, the yin qi is very heavy, and the magnetic field reaction of the six-magnet is very strong."

She pointed to that spot and said with certainty, "There must be something buried underground there."

h your step," he cautioned, and we heaved open the two stone gates together.The temperature inside the double doors was very low. The moment you stepped in, you could feel it. Even though everyone was...
