It was easy to get to dawn, and as expected, it was still not open that night. Mobile M.. Ala anyway, it doesn't matter. After they finished cleaning up, Lin Xiaoqiang lazily put away the ghost market token, first called Guanli, and told Xiaoman that he was not at home today, and then instructed Liu Yun to be careful, I guess I won't go back today.

It doesn't matter if you eat or not. According to last night's idea, let's start looking. This Yushui ghost city is not in the current Yushui County, according to the location, it is a far suburb of the county. It's easy to take a car from Baozhenguan, but this early in the morning, there is not even a car. It is said that the distance of more than ten kilometers, as far as Lin Xiaoqiang's legs and feet are now, the magic technique is unfolded, that is, he can run in a few minutes. It's a pity that although the sky is just a little bright, this terrifying spell still doesn't dare to cast, and it really scares a few people who get up early, isn't that a thing?

Throw off your legs and sit on these 11 roads. In the summer morning, the air is fresh and the temperature is suitable, so it is very comfortable to walk. Lin Xiaoqiang asked, where do we start when we go into the city?

Li Bing said, let's ask around first to see if there are any old people who can inquire about something. Those who have experienced these old things are the best. Besides, now we go to find other people's relevant professionals, we don't know each other, empty white teeth in the past asked people to help us check the information, people take care of us is strange.

Well, okay, that's it.

I walked for more than half an hour before I got in the car. After entering the county seat, the sky was already bright, and there were still a lot of people. People who go to work, go to school, buy vegetables, and sell vegetables, although it is a small county, it is as lively as a city. It was just breakfast time, so I took advantage of eating to find a small stall and sit down, and when I saw the old man, I asked about the old county. One morning, I walked around this county, asked a lot of people, the strange thing is that most of the old people, do not know the things of the old county, the answer is that this Yushui county has not been a city wall, there is no city gate. In addition, some people say that now this county seat, which is new, used to have an old county seat, just across the river. There is also a saying that the old county seat is more than ten miles upstream, and there is even a fourth saying that the old county seat is more than ten miles downstream.

If you don't ask clearly, you will be even more confused if you ask. A small Yushui county, there are still so many sayings. Lin Xiaoqiang asked Li Bing, I went out when I was a child, and I don't know about local things, so I didn't say anything. You're a native, why haven't you heard of anything since you were a child?

Li Bing said, I am also from the city. In our eyes, this is the countryside. I don't have any relatives here, so who cares about it? I didn't know it was so complicated. There are many different theories, but which one is true?

Or do we do what they say, one by one?

No, you make me think. There must be a historical reason for this. Okay, let's not bother, let's find someone professional to ask. We can't do this now, so let's go back and find a relationship. I have a score in my heart, don't worry.

When it comes to these things, Lin Xiaoqiang can only listen to Li Bing. Hastily ended the search in the county seat and took the car back to the city. On the way, Li Bing called Director Ma and said that he had something to do with him in the afternoon, and this time he was not invited to dinner, but to the office. Make an appointment, get off the bus and rush back to Baozhenguan, what are you doing? Change of clothes. When he went to the ghost market, Lin Xiaoqiang was wearing civilian clothes, and now that he is doing business, he still has to change into Taoist clothes.

cut a short section and said that when he arrived at Director Ma's office, Li Bing said, there is something you need to help with. There is a book in our view, which records that there is a Taoist treasure near Yushui County. Something about our faction. I went to Yushui to investigate, but there was no result, so ah, I have to trouble you, open me a letter of introduction, and then, contact the cultural institutions on the other side of Yushui, I want to find out.

Director Ma smiled, I said Xiaolin, have you watched too much tomb robbery, and you are cranky and remembered? Let me tell you, this underground thing, that's the state, digging it up without permission, it's illegal.

Don't worry, this is not a tomb, it is not a treasure. It is said to be a stone carving left by a Taoist master for many generations before the main gate. I also asked Senior Brother Jing Xuan, he told me that you know that he has always ignored it, so he replied that I don't know. The more this happened, the more curious I became. Director Ma, this is not a crime, you must help with this little favor.

Haha, speaking of which, you are still a witness to me. Okay, I also know that you're a junior, that's not good. Okay, okay, I'll get in touch with them.

Director Ma looked for a phone number, contacted them, and opened a letter of introduction. The person in charge of the seal stamped the bright red seal, and Li Bing could be regarded as having obtained the pass.

Without further ado, it's only past three o'clock, and if you act quickly, you can solve this mystery today. Leaving Director Ma and their unit, Lin Xiaoqiang didn't care about the work cost, and went to Yushui County by taxi.

One car came to the Yushui County Cultural Center. Director Ma asked clearly, the county records or something, they are in charge here. The county cultural center, the Qingshui Yamen, again

It's not a secret unit, it's just a casual entrance. With the letter of introduction, Li Bing came to the office and explained his intentions. After receiving this, I said, I don't know what you want to check the situation, so I can find you a relevant person.

Li Bing looked at the time, it was already five o'clock, even if you found it, people were in a hurry to get home from work, how could they have the heart to talk to you slowly. Don't be busy, I have my own way.

Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. I don't think there's any need to worry about this today. I am afraid that it will not be possible to complete this in a while and a half. I think this time is also unfortunate, it just so happens that I also have to eat, it is better to call several teachers in the museum who are familiar with the county history and the history of this residual water, and I will prepare a little water and wine in the evening, everyone knows each other first?

This one was surprised. I received a phone call and said that it was a business introduced by the Religious Affairs Bureau, so I can't help it. I didn't expect that this old Taoist would come to something, the monks in the world, that are all reaching out to others, this little Taoist, pay for us by himself? Times have really changed, men and women, no, monks are the same at home.

How embarrassing is that. You are a monk, where are we embarrassed to let you break the bank, forget it, forget it.

Li Bing was repeatedly invited, and he definitely did not let go. In the end, it was also this enthusiasm that was difficult to refuse, this happily agreed, looked at the time, it was half past five, and quickly called, informing these three or four people, there is something to do at night, don't leave after work, all go to my office to gather, and tell the family that they will not go back to eat at night.

After a while, the man arrived at the office one after another. A brief introduction, nothing more than Lao Zhao, Lao Qian, Lao Sun Lao Li, a few polite words, Li Bing said, everyone, this time is about the same, I am not familiar with the local area, this place still has to be chosen by you.

In a small county, there are no too high-end restaurants. I found a private room on the second floor. The guest and the host took their seats, Li Bing greeted the waiter, picked up your specialties, looked at the number of people, and matched ten or eight, and grasped it. If there is any good wine, let's take a look first.

This style made these people bluff for a moment. The heart said, now this monk and Taoist priest is really making money, even if we are business reception, the unit reimbursement, then we don't dare to order like this. This Taoist priest, who is young, has seen a big scene when he looks at this style. Come on, anyway, we are Qingshui Yamen, people are voluntary, don't eat for nothing, and are happy to drink a good wine.

Rank, cultural center, cultural center, those who work in it, they are all cultured. It's cultured, and in general, it's a bit of a temper. But I am still a little grumbling in this place. The complaining of the literati is to drink it, so as soon as this wine comes up, Li Bing is three cups, which is called doing it first as a respect.

As soon as the good wine and good food are served, the dragon gate array is swinged, and the wine has passed three rounds, and these few people at the table will treat Lin Xiaoqiang as their own person. All of them are talking about sex and high spirits. Li Bing saw that the time was almost up, so he asked, everyone, I inquired on the street yesterday about the affairs of the old county seat of Yushui County, but after asking and asking, there are several answers, what is going on?

These people, asking such a question, don't they just scratch the itch? As soon as you say a word, I will add it after you finish speaking, and I will add it, and I will be verbose, and I will explain this matter clearly to Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing.

What's going on. This surplus water, why is it called residual water, the earliest county location, that is, at the confluence of the two rivers. It means that there is more than enough water. Therefore, what the old people said that the old county town is downstream is according to this statement. That place was the site of the first city.

However, although the city has a long history, it is very small. The cultural center has long been investigated, and there is basically nothing left, not even archaeological value. It's a bit of a city wall or something, and it has long been taken home by the peasants to build a house and a pigsty or something. Why was the oldest city site abandoned, it was because, in the Tang Dynasty, those who had studied a little history knew that there was a warm period in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the temperature of the whole country was relatively high. Why do you say that you are laughing when you ride the red dust concubine? Sending lychees from Guangxi to Xi'an? That's simply not possible. The reason is that the temperature was relatively high at that time, Fuling, Chengdu, these places can grow lychees, so it is possible to send them to Xi'an. The temperature is high, the flow of the river is large, and the confluence of the two rivers is a small flat dam itself, which is flooded every year. Naturally, I was forced to be helpless, so I gave up this place, went to a flat land without floods upstream, and built a new city, which is the location of the second county seat, that is, what Lin Xiaoqiang asked, the old county town is more than ten miles upstream.

This place has been used since the Tang Dynasty until modern times. The area is much larger than the first county seat. The ruins are still there. However, the archaeological value is not great, and the tourist value is not great. Until the Anti-Japanese War, Yushui, as a relatively important wharf in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the things coming from the Yunnan-Burma Highway, often had to be loaded in Yushui and transported to Chongqing and Chengdu, so it became the focus of Japanese aircraft. Have you read the information on the bombing of Chongqing? That's pretty much it. Seeing the sky blow, even if the entire county is about to be blown up. The losses of the masses of the people are also very large.

For the sake of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, we can't help but start from here, but we can't just be beaten passively. There was really no way, the entire county authorities, including the people who survived, moved the county seat down more than ten miles.

Hidden in the mountains. As for the shipping, it all takes place at night. It is said that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this matter was even published in the newspapers, and the people of the whole city were commended and rewarded with tax cuts that were not implemented in the end. This is the location of the third county, that is, the area opposite the county seat now, of course, there are still houses now, and there are not many people living in them, after all, no matter from the traffic, the environment or all aspects of the situation, there is no convenience from the current side. Therefore, Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing asked about some people who were born before and after the liberation, and they all knew that the old county town was across the river.

Originally, when the Anti-Japanese War was won, it was planned to move back to its original location. But at that time, I was busy fighting a civil war, where would I really care about the affairs of your small county? After a decision was made, it dragged on for several years, and until it was liberated, the location of the county seat was still nested in that mountainous area.

After the liberation, the environment was peaceful, and all sides were slowly recovering. The matter of moving to the county seat is on the agenda again. The nest is in the mountains, there is no place to develop, nothing can be done, not to mention anything else, to build a power station can not find a suitable location. But it's too difficult to move back. At that level of productivity, there was no mechanized construction at all, and it was all carried on people's shoulders, cleaning up the ruins, and disinfecting the environment, which was larger than building a new city. Besides, at this time, there were opposing voices, saying that there were too many dead people in that place, and the yin qi was too heavy, so it was better not to go back. After considering the situation in all aspects, it was finally decided to blow up a part of the mountain on the opposite side of the river, and plan the location of the new county seat, and after decades of construction, the current Yushui county town was formed.

Therefore, everything is interlaced like a mountain, and if you don't ask the right person, you can do it in vain. These people, speaking of these, are called hand to hand, such as a number of treasures, snap and pop, and speak clearly. Speaking of the place where it arose, he took out his mobile phone and pointed out the positions one by one to Lin Xiaoqiang. Now I know the ins and outs.

Li Bing asked again, what happened to the bombed-out county now?

That place, after it was blown up, no one took care of it, and now it has been returned to the forest. It is said that there are too many people who have died unjustly in that place, and it is not clean, and almost no one goes. We have also investigated before, but there is no archaeological value, and we originally wanted to build a base for the memorial of the Anti-Japanese War, but the funds are too large to solve it. Last year or the year before last, our people went there, and it was completely a forest, and there was not even a little human habit.

After asking about these things, Li Bing persuaded him to drink again. For a moment, it was the pleasure of the guest and the host. Send these people away, find a place to spit out the wine that they drank, Li Bing discussed it with Lin Xiaoqiang, take a look, it's clear now. Well, I think, first of all, we don't have to worry about the old houses across the river from this county seat. The question is, is this upstream or downstream site the place we are looking for?

Lin Xiaoqiang fiddled with his mobile phone for a long time, No. 1, do you still need to watch this? You see, the location of the ghost market is also close to that place. I just made a rough estimate, and the ghost city is less than four kilometers away from the location of the site, separated by a mountain. I said why this Yushui ghost city is very remote, it turns out that this is the reason.

Li Bing said, you are right. Looks like we're looking for this site upstream. Now the direction is also clear, what, go and see tomorrow?

Cut, what are you waiting for tomorrow. Hurry up, that's not what you said, right? It's better at night, doesn't it mean that there are fewer and fewer people along the way? It's better if there's no one. It's been a long time, and I haven't run a few times. Let's set off now, and take advantage of the evening to explore this place that is said to be heavy in yin. Yin Qi is heavy, I'm afraid that I will meet some demons and ghosts, if it is appropriate, let's accept a few, which can be regarded as expanding the team and solving the problem of manpower.

Mortals are afraid of ghosts, but Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing are not afraid. Don't talk about them, even now Liu Yun, with the talisman drawn by Li Bing in his hand, he is not afraid. Taking advantage of the night, I followed the position of the few points just now, and looked all the way over.

It's really getting more and more desolate, and the more you go, the more people there are. Lin Xiaoqiang knows the road clearly, this is the road from the ghost market. It's night now, and I'm not afraid of anyone seeing anything. That's really going over the mountains and mountains, like walking on the ground, rushing forward and racing the arrow off the string. After the location of the ghost market, it was simply completely empty, and the road was getting more and more desolate and narrower. This road has been going to the mountains, and with the woods, Lin Xiaoqiang's speed has to be reduced a little.

Lin Xiaoqiang ran happily, but Li Bing didn't dare to take it lightly. Lin Xiaoqiang said just now that this place is full of yin qi, will he meet a demon. He was talking about playing, and Li Bing had to guard against it. Be careful in everything, don't really come out with a demon or a ghost, sneak attack us, and then spread it, it's called shame. So, on the one hand, it is to pay close attention to the movement of the pocket watch in the pocket, and on the other hand, the art of exploration is also completely opened silently, and it is always probing the movement around it.

As we said, the distance that Li Bing is exploring now is about one kilometer, which is not as good as the distance of a pocket watch. But in the end, this technique of exploration is self-inflicted, and it can be explored clearly and seen clearly. Just crossed the mountain, the destination I want to go to is to continue to move forward, but the pocket watch in my pocket did not move, Li Bing shouted to stop, I said No. 3, the left hand side is less than a kilometer, that place is a little wrong.
