What's even more terrifying is that after this person slipped to the ground, he quickly rushed to the wall and disappeared in an instant using some unknown secret technique.
Xie Wan was anxious and jumped onto the wall. Fortunately, with the faint moonlight, she saw a running black shadow in front of her on the left and quickly followed it.
They followed him all the way to Zhengyang Gate, where the man finally stopped.
Xie Wan didn't dare to get too close. He vaguely saw that the man had his face covered and was wearing black. From his figure, he didn't look like Li Benyuan, but more like the old man who was with Li Benyuan, named Haizang Jingwu.
The man took out something from his arms and started circling around the Zhengyangmen Tower.
At a certain direction, the moonlight happened to shine on the object in his hand, and Xie Wan could see clearly that what the man was holding was a compass.
The compass is a commonly used tool in geomancy.
The principle of the compass is the same as that of the magnetic compass, but the compass used in feng shui is engraved with the Eight Trigrams and the Twelve Earthly Branches.
The ancients believed that human aura is controlled by the aura of the universe. Harmony between man and the universe is auspicious, while disharmony between man and the universe is ominous.
Therefore, based on their experience, the ancients put all the information at all levels of the universe on the compass, such as the stars in the sky, all things on the earth represented by the five elements, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, etc.
Feng shui masters use the rotation of magnetic needles to find the direction or time that is most suitable for a specific person or thing.
The man seemed to be looking for something.
The man stopped only when he reached the foot of the arrow tower.
The man looked at the compass, walked seven steps west from the arrow tower, turned southeast, walked another seven steps, stopped, and squatted down.
The man took out another object, which seemed to be an ink bottle, and drew a line at that position. Then he observed for a moment, and suddenly pointed his finger and inserted a stick of incense on the ground.
Xie Wan couldn't understand what this person was doing.
After the man left this place and went to the other side of the arrow tower, Xie Wan quietly extinguished the incense sticks on the ground.
I followed this person to several locations, and in each location, this person's actions were the same as before.
Xie Wan did the same thing, and each time he would wait until the person left before extinguishing the incense stick.
It was not until this person walked to the ninth position and completed the incense-insertion action that Xie Wan suddenly appeared and stood behind this person.
Xie Wan's movements were ghostly and she approached the man silently. She knew that her kung fu was not good enough, so she pressed the gun against the back of the man's head and said in a deep voice, "Don't move!"
The man was squatting on the ground and was suddenly hit on the head by someone. He was also startled.
He tried to stand up slowly, but Xie Wan pushed the gun down and said, "If you move again, I'll shoot."
The man gave up, raised his hands in surrender, and said in not very fluent Chinese: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."
Just when he was about to turn around to see if the gun in Xie Wan's hand was real, Xie Wan had already changed the anesthetic needle and injected it into the man's carotid artery.
