The compass?
Feng Shui?
Qin Xiao was taken aback, wondering if Liu Wenxuan was still a Feng Shui master?
Of course, he knows what Feng Shui is. For folks at funerals, they will choose a suitable day, and even break ground, they will also find a Feng Shui master to count it as a trivial matter.
If you don’t look at the days and hit the underworld fierce day, everything will be unfavorable at the slightest degree, and the disaster of blood and light will be the worst.
Before the caravan's trip, of course, the lucky day was selected in advance.
There are also many fortune-telling gentlemen in Guicheng. Qin Xiao has also seen some weird tools in their fortune-telling cases, but he has no interest in this, and has never cared about it. It's just the strange compass in Liu Wenxuan's hands. He has never seen him in Mr. Fortune-telling’s booth.
The moon shines on the compass, glowing with a faint golden light, and Qin Xiao faintly recognizes a lot of the densely packed handwriting, but they are symbols such as the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
"The leader likes to watch Feng Shui?" Qin Xiao asked softly.
Liu Wenxuan smiled and said: "If you have nothing to do, it is just a pastime." With his hands and feet quickly wrapped the compass with a black cloth, he looked at Qin Xiao and smiled: "The things inside are too profound. , I’m afraid I will only know a little bit in my life."
Qin Xiaodao: "I have seen many fortune-telling gentlemen before, they...!"
"Fortune-telling?" Before Qin Xiao finished speaking, Liu Wenxuan interrupted with a smile: "The street fortune-tellers can't even figure out their own fate. They are nothing more than bluffing people and eating a bowl of rice. The real Feng Shui way. , It’s not as simple as they say."
Qin Xiao heard his words full of disdain for fortune-tellers, and wondered if you knew your fate?
Liu Wenxuan actually seemed to see through what Qin Xiao was thinking, and smiled: "Naturally, I don't know my fate. Yin and Yang gossip is mysterious and unpredictable. It is all-encompassing, and you can form a family by penetrating any part of it. The highest state, It is natural to look through the future from it, but not everyone can reach it. Looking at the world, it’s not bad for a person with this ability to produce one in a few hundred years.” Raising his hand and touching his beard: “Most people are just Learn to superficially observe and measure luck. Among them, those who have real talents are rare. Even if they really have this ability, they can only look at luck instead of fate."
"Fortune, not fate?"
"Visitors can know a person's luck, but they can't understand the destiny." Liu Wenxuan said: "The difference between luck and destiny is a world apart."
"Can the commander see the luck?"
Liu Wenxuan shook his head and smiled: "No. I'm not walking in the vein of observing acquaintance and luck." Looking up at the night sky, he calmly said: "How can the appearance of people be compared with the appearance of heaven and earth."
"Heaven and earth?" Qin Xiao only felt that the more Liu Wenxuan talked, the more mysterious he became, and the more doubtful he was.
"Look for a dragon to look at the mountain, and one entanglement is a rush. If there are thousands of locks at the door, there will be princes living here." Liu Wenxuan slowly muttered.
Qin Xiao was stunned, but Liu Wenxuan smiled faintly, and said, "It's late, you bother." Without saying a word, he turned to his tent.
Qin Xiao watched his back disappear in a daze.
He felt that Liu Wenxuan had a strange air, and he was even more surprised to know that this guy knew Feng Shui tonight.
"Brother Wang." A voice suddenly came from behind: "Thanks for your hard work. Go and rest. I'll be guarded in the middle of the night."
Qin Xiao turned around and saw Ning Zhifeng walking towards him, smiling: "Fifth Brother Ning is still asleep?"
Before, he only called Ning Zhifeng as Big Brother Ning. Later, when someone called him Lord Ning, he changed his name to Brother Ning.
Ning Zhifeng
I walked over and said: "The shoulder injury is still not quite good, and occasionally it hurts, and I can't sleep when I lie down." Looking in the direction of Liu Wenxuan, he frowned and said: "It was Liu Wenxuan just now?"
Qin Xiao nodded.
"He hasn't slept so late?" Ning Zhifeng was a little strange.
Qin Xiao thought about it for a while, then said: "Liu Commander seems to have good air and water."
"Feng Shui?" Ning Zhifeng was taken aback, then smiled: "Yes, did you see him holding a compass?"
"Big Brother Ning also knows?"
Ning Zhifeng said: "The eldest son has also mentioned it before. Ten years ago, Lord Houye ordered the formation of the White Tiger Camp. It was Liu Wenxuan who prepared for the formation of the White Tiger Camp. He was able to entrust such an important task to him. Very important. However, after preparing for the establishment of the White Tiger Camp, Old Hou Ye sent another person to serve as the commander. Liu Wenxuan only served as the deputy commander, and did not stay in the barracks. The eldest son told us that the other leader was Liu Wenxuan to the old man. He proposed that although he formed the White Tiger Camp with one hand, he only left a false job after he was done."
"It is true that he rarely appears in the barracks."
"He has his own mansion in Fucheng." Ning Zhifeng said: "However, he rarely walks with other people. Even the eldest son can't see him twice a year. I heard from the eldest son that he is proficient in Yijing gossip , Good at contemplating...!" Seeing Qin Xiao's face blank, smiled: "In fact, I also listen to their small talk, know a little, do you know what the Taoist five skills are?"
Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I only know that Taoists can make alchemy."
"That is one of the five Taoist medical techniques." Ning Zhifeng thought for a moment before saying: "The five Taoist techniques include mountain, medicine, life, divination, and phase. Alchemy is just one of the Taoist medical techniques. The art of contemplation that Liu Wenxuan is good at is one of the art of physiognomy, it is the art of physiognomy, it is very profound, and I don’t understand it."
"Observation?" Qin Xiao was confused: "How does he like this?"
"I really don't know." Ning Zhifeng smiled: "It may be too leisurely, so it is used to pass the time."
Qin Xiao thought that it would never be to pass the time.
Early the next morning, everyone quickly cleaned up and continued to head west.
For more than a day on the way, everyone worked step by step and performed their duties. When they arrived in Fan County, Qin Xiao clearly felt that the population here had dropped rapidly.
In the territory of Yuwen County, I saw villages from time to time along the way, with smoke and fireworks, and there were people working in the fields.
However, the villages in Fan County are obviously less and the population is sparse.
"When the Wutuo people entered the customs, Fanjun suffered the most." Geng Shao followed Qin Xiao and said: "Where the Wutuo cavalry passed by, the chickens and dogs are not left, they are more cruel and fierce than the wild beasts. Except. They also robbed a lot of people from Xiling and sent them back to Wutuo as slaves. As far as I know, some were even sold as slaves in the Western Regions."
Qin Xiao looked at the rather bleak Fanjun land, thinking about the three main gate lords of Xiling. From the outside, the Fan clan is obviously the weakest.
The population is too small and the land is barren, which will inevitably lead to reduced taxes.
Fan County is the smallest among the three counties, not to mention that it cannot be compared with Yuwen County at all, and it is even far behind Zhen County.
"In the Wutuo Rebellion, the Duhu Army was besieged in the Heiyang City of Fan County." Geng Shao slowly said: "The Wutuo people's food and grass are used to capture the food, looting everywhere in Fan County, even The cavalry rushed to the territory of Yuwen County...!" At this point, Geng Shao's voice became cold.
Qin Xiao knew that Geng Shao was born and raised in Yuwen County. Almost two hundred people in Gengzhuang died under the iron hooves of the Wutuo people. Naturally, Wutuo cavalry was in Yuwen County at that time.
Due to looting.
"The lives of Xiling were devastated, and there were ten rooms and empty spaces in Fan County. Countless people fled their homeland to avoid disasters to the east." Geng Shao remembered that tragic past event still fresh: "Although the Wutuo people eventually withdrew, they returned to Fan County. Less than half of the people in the country, but all those with some family wealth moved eastward and dare not stay in Fan County, so Fan County will be as depressed as it is now."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
He knows that the Wutuo Rebellion has brought serious disasters to the people of Xiling. Although more than ten years have passed, the people of Xiling still have a nightmare fear of the Wutuo people.
Outside the Kunlun Pass, is the sphere of influence of the Wutuo people.
Although Kunlun Pass is now controlled by Datang, Kunlun Pass is not a dangerous place. Once the Wutuo people move eastward, Kunlun Pass can hardly stop the Wutuo people’s attack. As long as the Kunlun Pass is broken, the Wutuo cavalry can rise. Fan Jun was the first to lash into the pass and gallop.
No one can guarantee that the Utuo people will not make a comeback.
I have seen the cruelty of the Wutuo cavalry. Of course, the common people are not willing to stay in Fan County. Once the Wutuo people attack, they can only become the evil spirits under the iron hoof.
The speed of the team is actually not slow. Except for camping and rest at night, they are almost on their way during the day. Even if they eat and rest halfway, the time is very short.
Qin Xiao didn't figure out how many women were in that big carriage when it was approaching Kunlun Pass.
Looking at the size of the carriage, it is not surprising that there are five or six people in it.
The women inside never showed up from beginning to end. They must have eaten in the car. Sometimes Qin Xiao couldn't help thinking, wouldn't it be convenient for them on the way? There will never be a toilet in the compartment, but even so, it is impossible not to flush the toilet all the time.
He didn't ask too much, thinking that they might only come out for convenience when he was resting at night.
At dusk this day, I finally arrived at Kunlun Pass.
Kunlun Pass is a stone-built gate building, not too high, it guards the key, but three hundred defenders, this is not because there are no soldiers to adjust, but Kunlun Pass can only accommodate so many soldiers, compared with The majestic and majestic Jiayu Pass makes Kunlun Pass very shabby.
Although there are not many defenders, the entrances and exits are very strict. In addition to the roads from the Duhu Mansion, and three strict inspections, the three hundred defenders are directly under the Duhu Mansion. , Is the authentic Datang defender.
When I arrived at the pass, it was dusk. Qin Xiao originally thought that the caravan would rest at Kunlun Pass for one night, but soon learned that no caravan could stop at Kunlun Pass. After the inspection, they must leave the pass immediately.
Qin Xiao knew that this was the security consideration of the guards for the Kunlun Pass. Dozens of vehicles must be inspected, and it will not be completed in a short while. Yuwen Chengchao found the guards and said in private What happened, the speed of the guards' inspection was greatly accelerated. Before dark, the caravan had already left the Kunlun Pass, and the front was the endless Gobi land.
The caravan can't camp near Kunlun Pass, so it has continued to walk for more than 20 miles before, and the sky has completely darkened, and Yuwen Chengchao ordered the camp to rest.

ps: Finally, let’s talk about it. Desert novels are overhead historical texts. Regardless of whether geographical characters are purely overhead, some places may draw on real history as the background, but when reading this book, do not combine geographical figures or even events with real history hook up. This is a completely overhead world!
