"Waterlogging?" Boss Du shook his head quickly: "I grew up in the village and have never seen waterlogging. ”

"That's weird." Bao Longtu said with great interest: "Since this is the case, it must be verified." ”

Boss Du was also very neat, and immediately asked someone to carry a few buckets of water and came to the ancestral house as quickly as possible. By this time, his ancestral home had been reduced to ruins, and it was easy to see the remnants of the culvert in the ruins.

"Pour ......" Boss Du took matters into his own hands and poured a bucket of water into the culvert.

In an instant, the water rattled and flowed directly down the channel. The others also poured water in turn, which also made the water in the culvert stronger, faster and faster.

The sound of water in the culvert seemed to echo in the faint sound, and there was a faint gurgling sound.

After Boss Du poured the water, he ran directly in the direction of the ancestral hall. Before he could run back to the ancestral hall, he heard Bao Longtu's surprise call: "There is water, the water is really coming......"

When Boss Du heard this, he also sped up and quickly returned to the ancestral hall. At this time, he hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, he saw a pool of turbid water flowing down the culvert, and then circled and twisted around.

The water flows briskly, like a joyful song, circulating, circulating, circulating, circulating......

"Hey, why is the water gone?" Bao Longtu exclaimed, but he found a bizarre situation.

It stands to reason that the flow of water circulates like this, but it is not excreted, and it will definitely overflow. But everyone could see clearly that the water disappeared little by little after a few brisk cycles. There is not much time, and a pool of stagnant water is like ice and snow under the scorching sun. It melted silently, leaving only traces of the mud.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Bao Longtu was surprised again. Again, he wondered: "What about the water?" Flown away? Or is it because there is too little water and it is sucked off by the channel mud? ”

As we all know, dry soil encounters water, and has a certain adsorption power, which draws the water dry. The problem is that the culvert of the ancestral hall is very elaborate, which is paved with stone fragments. But there is not much adsorption.

Surprised, Bao Longtu's eyes rolled, and he said, "Boss Du." Anyway, it can now be proved that your ancestral house and the ancestral hall are closely connected with water and ventilation. So don't rush to study it any further, let's explore the problem of this channel flow first. I feel like it's even more important. ”

"Hmm." Boss Du also feels the same way. Naturally, no opinion.

"Okay." Bao Longtu smiled and continued to mention: "In this case, we don't have to run at both ends, just move the water from the big tank next to us and pour it out to see what the situation is." ”

The ancestral hall is built on the edge of a cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff is a waterhole. Boss Du asked people to install a water pump in the waterhole and divert water directly from the waterhole to the large water tank in the ancestral hall.

The water tank is very large, and two or three people are around. to be able to hug in a circle. Now six or seven people are carrying it, and it takes a lot of effort. It's like moving to the edge of the culvert.

"One, two, three, push!" Everyone worked together to knock down the large water tank, and then the water in the tank was surging, like a flood pouring out of the embankment, and the culvert was flooded in an instant.

All of a sudden, the ancestral hall was flooded, forming a flood.

But soon, everyone noticed that as soon as the raging water rushed into the channel, it quickly formed a small whirlpool, and then quickly decreased, seeping and disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah, in the culvert, there are dark holes."

As long as you look closely, you can find that in the channel paved with masonry, there are small gaps in the bricks and stones.

When everyone was cleaning the channel, the dust covered the cracks in the masonry, and everyone didn't feel strange even if they accidentally saw one or two cracks. It is only now that the water washes away the dust, and the gaps are revealed, letting everyone know that these tiny gaps still have the function of diversion.

"No, it turns out that there are other culverts in the culvert, which are so deeply hidden." Bao Longtu was amazed, but also pondered: "But it's also strange, where does the water flowing into the crevices lead?" ”

"Underground?" Boss Du was puzzled: "It seems that they have all penetrated into the ground." ”

"It's normal for soil to seep water. The problem is that the rate at which the soil seeps water, that is very slow. Bao Longtu shook his head and said: "This tank of water is poured on the ground, and according to normal circumstances, it will take at least half a day to seep dry." But now everyone has seen that in less than a few minutes, the tank of water is gone. ”

"There are undoubtedly only two possibilities for such a situation."

Bao Longtu analyzed: "First, the soil here is very loose, as if the soil layer is mixed with sand and gravel, and there are many large voids, so no matter how much water you have, you can absorb it clean. ”

"This can't be ......" Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Everyone also dug just now, how strong and hard this land is, you should also know in your hearts." ”

The others nodded their heads one after another. Some people even shook their palms, and their fingers were blistered.

"If the soil is too loose, it won't be able to raise the foundation." Cai Jianzhong also said: "Even if the loose soil is compacted, it will last for a short time, and it is impossible to survive thousands of years without falling." In other words, the soil of this place itself should have a certain degree of solidity, so that the ancestral hall can be passed down to the present. ”

"That's right, so I'll just rule out the first possibility." Bao Longtu bent his fingers, and then said solemnly: "Then the remaining possibilities are undoubtedly facts." ”

"The second possibility is that there is a man-made culvert under the cracks in the masonry." Bao Longtu said confidently: "If you pry open the masonry, you will definitely be able to find clues." ”

"Don't be that troublesome." At this moment, Fang Yuan left the ancestral hall directly, and then walked to the edge of the cliff, and after looking at it, he showed a little smile: "Just go down and take a look, everything will be clear." ”

"What......" Bao Longtu walked over, looked down, reacted immediately, patted his forehead and sighed: "Dizzy, I'm really dizzy, this is obviously an obvious thing, how could I make such a low-level mistake." ”

"The ancestral hall is built on the edge of a cliff, so the exit of the culvert must lead here. Not only close, but also secretive, is also very in line with the idea of Feng Shui but see the water coming, not seeing the water go. ”

Bao Longtu shook his head and said, "It seems that I'm still too tender." ”

"It's already good, it's progressive." Fang Yuan smiled approvingly, and then beckoned everyone to go down the mountain.

After making a discovery, everyone was very fast, and they arrived at the edge of the cliff at the bottom of the mountain in a few minutes. It's actually a valley with a wide terrain and a cliff that has a waterhole.

This waterhole is naturally the source of drinking water for the whole village, it is better to say that it is a waterhole than a big well, surrounded by people surrounded by cement bricks, it is estimated that people and animals are worried about polluting the water source, and even add a layer of cover, which is well protected.

Looking up from the side of the waterhole, the height of the cliff is estimated to be seventy or eighty meters, high and steep. The cliffs are scattered with rocks, and there are many vine-like plants growing in them, which are full of vitality in the precipitous situation, which is quite interesting.

At this moment, everyone opened their eyes and looked at it carefully. Xu Yu, a person with good eyesight, was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Boss, I see the overflow." ”

"Where?" Boss Du hurriedly asked, he is not young after all, and his eyes are naturally not very good.

The man hurriedly made a careful comparison: "Just in the middle of the cliff, on the edge of the small tree, there is a constant dripping ......."

"Don't look at it." The organic spirit man ran to the bottom of the cliff and said with a smile: "Boss, come and see here, the water is dripping from above, and the leaves here are all droplets, moist and shiny......"

Everyone hurriedly walked to take a look, and immediately found that there were mottled water marks on the leaves of a shrub. But a nearby bush was very dry, indicating that the water was certainly not fog or dewdrops.

"Boss, there is also a water ......"

After some searching, we found that there should be several culvert exits on the cliff. In different directions, it seeps down silently. If it weren't for the intention, no one would have noticed it.

"It's no wonder that the cliff plants are full of foliage, and it turns out that they are often nourished by water." Bao Longtu sighed: "But the most admirable thing is the ingenuity of the design of the culvert, if the culvert was not found on it first, I'm afraid no one would have noticed that the exit of the culvert is actually here." ”

While speaking, Bao Longtu's words changed: "But then again, are these culverts part of the Feng Shui Bureau in the ancestral hall?" If so, then what is the meaning of this Feng Shui Bureau? ”

In an instant, Boss Du and the others hurriedly looked at Fang Yuan and Cai Jianzhong, they were also very curious and wanted to know the answer.

"Now it is certain that the Tianji Liuhe lock on the side of the ancestral house is connected with the Feng Shui Bureau of the ancestral hall." Cai Jianzhong muttered: "If the Tianji Liuhe Lock is to protect the dragon's lair, then the Feng Shui Bureau on the ancestral hall must also have a special role. Could it be that something is also being protected or suppressed? ”

"Wait......" Bao Longtu's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Boss Du, we thought that the ancestral hall was built on the edge of the cliff, which was a bit strange. You seem to have said at the time that the reason why the ancestral hall was built like this was because there was a dragon in the waterhole, so you had to build the ancestral hall on the edge of the cliff to stop the dragon from running away. ”

“…… Yes, that's what I said. Boss Du was surprised and delighted: "Could it be that the key to a qiē is in the waterhole?" ”

"Hehe, I'm just saying that casually." Bao Longtu smiled irresponsibly: "As for whether this is the case, we still need to listen to the comments of experts." What do you think, two masters? ”

Cai Jianzhong's eyes flashed, and he asked, "This pool, is that the largest water source within a radius of more than ten miles?" ”

"That's right." Boss Du hurriedly said: "And it is not icy or dry all year round, the water quality is very good, and it is living water." ”

"Was there such a waterhole more than a thousand years ago?" Cai Jianzhong asked again.

"This ......" Boss Du hesitated: "Anyway, I heard from the old man in the village that this waterhole has existed for a long time, and it must have a history of hundreds of years, as for whether it is thousands of years old, I don't know." (To be continued......)
