Chapter 1383 Perceived Actions
I waved my hand and said, "Xiao Huan, release the lamps."
The white lamps, which had sunk to the bottom of the river, flew back into the air and floated side by side along the sides of the warship.
Wang Xiaohuan released nine more white lamps, arranged in a swallowtail shape at the bow, illuminating the area twenty to thirty meters ahead of the warship.
At that moment, I clearly saw the rocks protruding underwater like mountain ranges. "What is this?"
Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "Dragon vein!"
"According to the direction of the dragon vein, this should be the tail."
"Is Xianyang River a place for beheading dragons?"
Most people know that feng shui has the concept of dragon veins, but they don't know that dragon veins are actually divided into many types, including sick dragons, crippled dragons, and even dead dragons.
A dead dragon means that although the shape of the dragon vein is still there, the earth qi has been broken. It is like the corpse of a dragon lying on the ground. Burying people in such a place will not only fail to draw on the feng shui qi, but will also suffer from feng shui backlash, leading to endless troubles.
A dragon-slaying site means that someone used feng shui secrets to sever the dragon vein, killing a great dragon that should have been formed. The most famous legend in history is Liu Bowen slaying the dragon.
Liu Bowen used a relatively gentle method to slay the dragon. Although he severed the dragon vein, it did not cause major disasters.
If a feng shui master uses violent means to forcibly slay a dragon, then after the dragon vein is destroyed, baleful qi will inevitably arise.
Where dead dragons lie, it is easiest to breed ghosts and monsters.
No wonder we haven't had peace along the way.
I said in a low voice, "According to what you see, where should the dragon vein be going?"
Ye Yang responded, "I suspect that the dragon head should be in the Laocheng camp of Xianyang River. If the severed dragon head is there, it will be troublesome."
Ye Yang suddenly asked, "Is the method you want to use, advancing step by step, feasible?"
I glanced at Ye Yang, "If it weren't for your dog life, do you think I'd be willing to use such a stupid method?"
"I have to prepare for escape first!"
I didn't know what the situation was like on the Xianyang River side.
In case we are no match for the ghosts and gods of Xianyang River, we have to escape as quickly as possible.
If I don't clear the obstacles behind me in advance, we won't be able to run when the water ghosts block our way.
Just as Ye Yang was about to roll his eyes at me, the warship suddenly stopped in the water. Zhang Ruixue said softly, "I guess it's right here. You hurt him just now, he should be hiding. You figure out the rest!"
Ye Yang scanned the river surface and said, "Concentrate all the ballistae on the port side. Follow my command."
Ye Yang turned his finger outward, "Release the bolts!"
Someone raised a heavy hammer and struck the ballista trigger. Three crossbow bolts soared into the air and flew straight towards the rock wall, embedding themselves a foot into the stone wall amidst the flying stone chips.
Half of the wall collapsed, revealing a cave that looked like a shrine.
"Release again! Three bolts in a row, shoot into the cave!" In my angry shout, three more crossbow bolts flew out. I stepped on the warship railing, leaped into the air, stepped on the crossbow bolts, and flew towards the cave.
While I was still in mid-air, I swung the Soul-Chasing Rope in my hand towards the stone stakes at the edge of the cave, borrowed strength, and leaped again, landing in the cave.
As soon as my feet landed firmly, I saw a torrent of water gushing out of the cave.
Before the water could reach my feet, I jumped into the air, hooking my hands like claws onto the ceiling, hanging myself in the air. As the water rushed past me, I used both my hands and feet to climb along the ceiling of the cave.
By this time, the cave under me seemed to have turned into a spring, constantly flowing outwards. I couldn't get down even if I wanted to, so I could only climb further into the cave.
Standing on the warship, Ye Yang couldn't help but muttered, "What's wrong with Li Po? Why did he jump into the cave without a word?"
Gui Kui sneered, "Your Hall Master is probably feeling like he hasn't contributed much along the way, letting a bunch of subordinates steal the spotlight. That's why he's trying to act like a hero to save face."
"Is the Hall Master of Two Realms Hall a child? How can he be so ignorant?"
"Isn't this just creating trouble for us?"
Wang Xiaohuan turned his head and said, "No one thinks you're mute if you don't speak!"
Gui Kui sneered, "What? Can't take the harsh words? Then don't cause trouble for everyone!"
"He jumped in, and we have to save him. Maybe, we'll even have to..."
"Shut up!" Zhu Xiaoyu said sternly, "Gui Kui, you're getting more and more presumptuous. It's not your turn to speak here."
"Okay, I won't say anything!" Although Gui Kui closed his mouth, the sneer on his face never stopped.
Zhu Xiaoyu asked Shi Fei Daoren in a low voice, "Daoist, what do you think?"
Shi Fei Daoren whispered, "Li Po always plans before he acts. He wouldn't jump into a place haunted by ghosts and gods for no reason."
"Commander, do you think Li Po might be hiding the real map?"
Zhu Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow, "As a descendant of the Divine Arrestor, don't you know how to distinguish a map?"
Shi Fei Daoren explained, "The Six Doors disbanded many years ago, and we haven't seen the original appearance of each other's tokens."
"I also don't know if the Xuanwu Luan family has tampered with the map."
"Li Po claims to be a disciple of a Jiangyang thief. Does he also have the ability to appraise treasures?"
Shi Fei Daoren's words were beyond doubt. If the Jiangyang thief risked his life to get a pile of fake goods, wouldn't that be a huge joke?
