After resting for the night, early the next morning, Zong Ruixiang accompanied him, and Ding Ermiao and others visited Zhuge Wuhou Cemetery again.

The pool next to the tomb of Wuhou has not changed much, it is still the same, and the spring breeze does not change the old waves.

After a long period of attention, everyone exited the park and climbed the mountain to look into the distance.

"At present, it seems that the entire Wuhou Cemetery and the desert a hundred miles away are included in one formation. The pool of the Wuhou Cemetery is connected with the pool of the desert underground palace. These two pools may also constitute a combination of yin and yang. ”

Ding Ermiao pointed and said: "If this speculation is true, according to the calculation of the direction of the gossip, then I will find the location where I was washed out by the flood at that time." ”

"You don't remember where you came out?" Zong Ruixiang asked.

"I was depressed, and I had just woken up, so how did I know what that place was? I just know that I am in a farmland. Ding Ermiao looked around and said:

"I'll find the place where I came out at the time to verify my speculation about the formation."

"How to verify? Could it be that you are the same as that white-bearded Li Qingdong, can you pinch and calculate? Zong Ruixiang became interested and asked.

Although it is only a one-sided relationship, Zong Ruixiang admires Li Qingdong.

I have to say that Li Qingdong's fairy wind bones are a pretending craft that others have been imitating but cannot surpass.

"This doesn't need to be able to pinch and calculate, it can be deduced according to the formation."

Ding Ermiao squatted down, placed a gossip array on the ground with a stone, took out a compass to correct the direction, and then pointed and said:

"The place where I was washed out by the flood should be at the birthgate, the door opening, or the shocking position.

The opening of the door belongs to the Qiangua, in the northwest direction; Shengmen belongs to the Gen hexagram, in the northeast direction; The shocking door belongs to the hexagram, which is due west.

If my assumption is true, then go straight in these three directions and you will find the place where I came out at that time. ”

Gu Qinglan shook her head with a smile and said, "It's too profound, I don't understand." ”

Zong Ruixiang nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Then let's go and find out?" ”

"Not yet, first I have to determine the location of the starting point."

"Where is the starting point?" Zong Ruixiang asked.

"In the middle of the tomb of Marquis Wu and the tomb of Liu Bowen." Ding Ermiao said: "Use the satellite map to determine a general direction." ”

Gu Qinglan nodded, everyone returned to the car, took out their laptops, and began to look for maps.

"It should be here, it's called Thin Knife Town on the map." Gu Qinglan shook the mouse and said.

"This place in the northwest of Bodao Town, which is the location of the Shengmen Qiangua, there is a large area of green, which seems to be a crop field, and it is very likely that I came out of there. Let's go there first. Ding Ermiao pointed to a region on the map and said.

Zong Ruixiang glanced at it and said, "I'll go, it's the area of my wife's mother's house, called Chentangchong, about seventy miles away from Bodao Town." ”

"Very well, let's go." Ding Ermiao said.

Ji Xiaoxiao drove, and Zong Ruixiang also drove his own off-road, leading the way in front.

At noon, the group came to this township called Chen Tangchong.

According to the impression at the time, Ding Ermiao first inquired about the river here.

There was only one river here, and the people walked over it, from the middle to the east, and to the lower reaches to find it.

In the evening, Ding Ermiao finally found the place where he came out.

Because it was dusk when he woke up that day, Ding Ermiao looked around and felt very familiar.

The surrounding farmland and the naughty children in the fields are still the same as they had seen not long ago.

"It's here...... Ding Ermiao smiled slightly, pointed ahead, and said, "I remember that I was hungry to death at that time, and I ate a few rape trees in this vegetable field." However, it was cold at that time, and the cauliflower had not yet bloomed. ”

"Ermiao......" Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes were red.

Recalling that separation, I still feel like my liver and intestines are broken.

"It's okay, it's all over." Ding Ermiao hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "I was washed here from the upstream, so the initial exit is still upstream." Let's take a look further upstream. ”

Zong Ruixiang looked at the sky, then looked at the river, and said: "It's late, and I can't see anything in the past, so why don't you tomorrow?" ”

Ding Ermiao thought about it and agreed.

That night, everyone stayed at Zong Ruixiang's mother-in-law's house.

Inquired about the situation of this river, Zong Ruixiang's mother-in-law said: "Above this river, there is a reservoir called Hu Bingtang, which is very strange. ”

"Hu Bingtang? What does this mean, the old man will tell us. Gu Qinglan asked.

Zong Ruixiang's mother-in-law, who used to be a middle school Chinese teacher, talked extraordinarily, and said: "The name of Hu Bingtang is said to come from Liu Bowen's ......."

Liu Bowen again? Ding Ermiao lifted his spirit.

"Hu (hu) is a measuring instrument used to measure rice or its grain. One bucket is equivalent to ten buckets, and later changed to five buckets. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was in this area at that time, fighting with the Yuan soldiers, and the surrounding rebels joined one after another. Because there were too many of them and the rebels were relatively loosely organized, it was impossible to count the exact number of people.

Later, Liu Bowen came up with a way to dig a square pit here, so that the rebels lined up and stood neatly in the pit. When the stand is full, come out and replace it with the person behind you. Each pit was 10,000 people, and there were more than 90 pits in total. Liu Bowen also derived the specific number of the rebel army from this.

Hu Bingtang is also named after this. ”

The old lady talked eloquently and methodically, and explained the origin of Hu Bingtang clearly.

"So, what did the old lady mean by the weirdness she just said?" Gu Qinglan continued to ask.

"It's weird because the water level is unstable." The old lady pushed her reading glasses and said:

"The water level of the reservoir is often inexplicably raised. Once elevated, water will be emitted downstream. Therefore, the downstream river channel is sometimes very unstable, sometimes the water is large, sometimes the water is small. ”

Ding Ermiao nodded secretly, he was washed downstream when the water was big.

Gu Qinglan frowned slightly and asked, "If it doesn't rain, and there is no water coming down upstream, the water level of the reservoir will suddenly increase?" ”

"That's it, that's why it's weird." The old lady nodded.

"Is there any explanation for this strange phenomenon?" Ding Ermiao asked.

The old lady smiled and said, "The locals all say that it was Liu Bowen who ordered the Yin soldiers at night, and those Yin soldiers entered the Hu Bingtang and occupied the space, so the water level will skyrocket." ”

Yin soldiers?

Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan and Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and they were all silent.

Judging from what I saw and heard in the desert last time, it is not surprising that there are Yin soldiers in this area.

But because of the Yin soldiers, the water level rose, but Ding Ermiao did not dare to agree.

"Old lady, do you think Liu Bowen is a yin soldier at night, is it credible?" Gu Qinglan asked again.
