"What is this?"

Lingqian lowered her head strangely, and there were a few black stones on the table in front of her.

"I picked it up where the strange giant passed, probably fell from the giant's body, do you see if there's anything peculiar?"

I replied casually, Lingqian reached out and held a stone, put it in front of me and looked closer, the surface of the stone looked smooth, and when it was shined in the sun, it was not transparent, and it looked ordinary.

"I don't see anything peculiar......"

Lingqian shook his head and said, at this moment, the fat man picked up the water cup on the table and walked over, and put the water cup on the table as he spoke, never thinking that as soon as the water cup fell, the black stone was instantly adsorbed on the surface of the water cup!

I only heard a crisp sound of "ding", and the fat man and I were taken aback.

The fat man used an iron water cup with a white porcelain surface. I immediately took the glass and gently pulled the black stone apart, feeling a faint suction on the tips of my fingers.

"It's a magnet!"

I was surprised to say that I tried the other black stones with a water cup at the same time, and it was no surprise that all the black stones were magnetic, and each one was a magnet!

"That giant can't be made entirely of magnets, right?"

The fat man scratched his head and asked, Lingqian and I couldn't give an answer, and there was no similar record in "Strange Tales of the Mountains", this discovery made the true face of the already mysterious giant even more confusing.

"No matter what, we have to find a way to catch this giant. But with the current skills of the three of us, I'm afraid it's very difficult to catch this giant......"

Lingqian's words are not to destroy the prestige of his own people, to tell the truth, I and the fat man are not very capable.

"If we can't subdue it with force, then we'll find a way to outwit it, and if this giant is really made of magnets, I think we can use some tricks to deal with it."

While we were discussing, there was a sudden commotion outside, and I walked quickly to the window to look out, and saw Qin Qianqiu and three young people performing a strange ceremony in the middle of the village from a distance. Lingqian walked up to me, glanced out as well, and said, "He is using the technique of drilling into the ground to determine the location of the earth beasts and ghosts in the four directions. ”

"What is the technique of drilling into the ground?"

The fat man asked, puzzled.

"The so-called technique of drilling into the ground is simply a simplified version of the secret technique of the Bagua Compass, or a branch. By pumping one's own qi into the ground, it follows the meridians according to the terrain trend. When the earth beasts and ghosts walk between the land, the breath sinks into the ground, and the location of the unearthed beasts and ghosts can be judged based on these breaths. ”

Lingqian explained very professionally, and after listening to it, I pondered for a moment and said, "Is that accurate?" ”

"It depends on the path of the person who casts this spell, and the deeper the path, the more accurate it is."

As we were talking, in the middle of the village, three young men brought a few tables, these tables were in a circle, and Qin Qianqiu was standing in the center of this circle of tables, and each table around was covered with a piece of cloth, with strange patterns on the cloth, some embroidered with landscapes and trees, some with beasts and birds, and a few embroidered with ghosts and demons. There was a bowl of water on top of each cloth, Qin Qianqiu first lit a stick of incense, then bowed to the four directions, and finally sat down cross-legged.

The three young men seemed to be protecting the Dharma for him, making the surrounding onlookers retreat, Qin Qianqiu sat down and said something in his mouth, his left palm was flat in front of him, and his right hand pinched a strange gesture, looking really mysterious.

The fat man and I couldn't see much of the way, but after waiting for about seven or eight minutes, one of the bowls on the cloth around suddenly shook slightly, and the water in the bowl shook a little.

I looked at the bowl of water and saw that there was a red cloth embroidered with ghosts underneath the bowl of water, and I turned around and asked, "What does the bowl of water on this red cloth embroidered with ghosts mean?" ”

This shows that Qin Qianqiu's qi has caught the traces of ghosts and monsters around him. The more the water in the bowl shakes, the more dangerous the goblin. I think the bowl of water is shaking to the extent that it's just a little ghost lurking nearby, not our target. ”

As soon as Lingqian's words fell, the bowl of water gradually quieted down, and it was obvious that the qi released by Qin Qianqiu did not stay on that little ghost for long.

"If he continues to look like this, he may find the mysterious giant before we do. Haven't you practiced "Wudang Five Elements Gong"? Can you interfere with his breath? ”

Lingqian turned her head and asked me, I was stunned for a moment, although I have practiced "Wudang Five Elements Gong" for more than a month, I can't even count Xiaocheng, and I guess I haven't even reached the entry level. Qin Qianqiu is also a well-known figure in the circle, and my Taoism is nothing in front of him.

But after thinking about it, just now I swore that I must participate, how can I be cowardly if I need help at this time, and finally nodded stubbornly and said, "I can try it." Fatty, help me get a bowl of water, and then find another bundle of straw, preferably another egg. ”

It didn't take long for the straw to be ready, and I tied the straw into a bundle with a thin black string, and then lit it directly with a lighter, and the straw didn't burn too quickly, but the flame was very strong.

"Wudang Five Elements Gong" itself is a kind of study of the body and external breath exercises, to put it simply, there is qi in the human body, some people are strong and some are weak, people with strong breath can use their own body qi and nature's qi to communicate with each other, to control the five elements, control the energy of water and fire.

Naturally, I haven't cultivated that deep, and it's unknown whether it will be possible to cultivate to that level in the future.

Holding the burning straw in the left hand and pointing the index and middle fingers of the right hand in the water, "Wudang Five Elements Gong" does not need to chant a mantra, and it can naturally be retracted and released freely after the breath is strong. My fingers landed on the water in the bowl, and the ripples on the surface of the water gradually calmed down.

"What is this going on?"

The fat man asked curiously.

"He is adjusting his qi, and if the qi in his body can reach the level of performing exercises, then the flame in his left hand and the water surface in his right hand will change significantly. I have heard from the elders of the sect that novices will use this method to intuitively verify their communication with the outside world because they don't know whether they can be accepted by the qi of nature at the beginning. ”

At this time, I closed my eyes tightly, and Yu Lao once warned me that I should be calm when casting spells, because my mind will affect the air flow in my body, and too nervous mood will weaken the qi in my body. After closing the eyes, if you can see obvious ripples of flowing light and shadow in front of your eyes, it means that the qi in the body is moving.

But I waited a few minutes, and I didn't see anything in front of me, except for the slightest glimmer of light that my eyes felt.

At this moment, the fat man suddenly said, "Qin Qianqiu seems to feel the big guy. ”

The water bowl above the red cloth representing the earth beast beside Qin Qianqiu, who was arrayed outside the village, suddenly shook violently, and the degree of shaking was very strong, and even the water in the bowl began to splash outward.

Qin Qianqiu sneered and said in a low voice, "I found you." ”

"It's not good, Qin Qianqiu has made a discovery, Ba Xiaoshan, hurry!"

Lingqian opened her mouth to urge, but the more she urged me, the more anxious I became, and the more anxious my mentality became, the more chaotic the qi in my body became. Even when I just felt the qi in my body, I was completely confused when she shouted like this. I can't see anything in front of me......

"Definitely."

Qin Qianqiu raised his right hand high, and one of the three young people walked to the side of the shaking water, spread out a piece of rice paper in his hand, pressed the rice paper on the water bowl, and after a while, he lifted it, and the water stains were printed on the rice paper and it looked like a topographic map!

I closed my lips tightly, knowing that I could not be disturbed by the outside world at this moment, and followed the method written in the book to mobilize the five elements of qi in my body, but this feeling was mysterious and mysterious, and came and went.

Take a deep breath, Yu Lao said that if you put yourself in the ethereal realm when the induction is not strong, you may be able to directly hook the qi of heaven and earth.

The ethereal realm is thoughtless, thoughtless, and mindless, as if demented and confused.

At this time, the young man outside had printed four or five sheets of rice paper in a row, Qin Qianqiu had already begun to collect his work, and after a while, he laughed, opened his eyes and said, "Have you written it all down?" ”

The young man nodded hurriedly, Qin Qianqiu laughed, and deliberately shouted in the direction of Lingqian and the fat man: "You are still shallow, I won this business." ”

Lingqian's face changed slightly, sighed unhappily, and said, "I really can't count on you!" ”

The fat man wanted to talk back, but he couldn't speak, and he turned around and wanted to call me, but this time he immediately showed surprise in his eyes, patted Lingqian and said, "Look at it!" ”
