There was a rooster crowing from behind the farmhouse's courtyard, and Li Bing hurriedly returned to his room and woke up Zhang Yuanshan and Qian Yiduo. When the three of them just walked out of the room with their respective luggage, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya were already waiting at the door.

The three of them hurried downstairs, and the old couple had already gotten up. When everyone washed their faces and brushed their teeth, five bowls of steaming porridge were already placed on the table.

After breakfast, after Li Bing paid, everyone got into the car.

The car started smoothly, and after driving out of the yard, Qian Yiduo shouted: "Brother Li, you are driving in the wrong direction, this is the way back to Xi'an." ”

Li Bing smiled: "That's right, I just want to go back and see what was strange at that bend last night." ”

Zhang Yuanshan smiled happily: "It's good to go back and see what is going on, maybe it can relieve the knots in everyone's hearts." It was dawn soon, and even if there were any ghosts, they had already left. The two ladies will not be afraid. ”

After a while, the car came to the bend where the strange thing happened last night. Everyone got out of the car and began to look at the surrounding environment.

The eastern sky was already slightly white, and a thin layer of fog was shrouded in it. Li Bing looked at it for a long time, lit a cigarette, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Not long after, Li Bing laughed: "I understand, what happened to the 'female ghost in red' I saw last night." ”

The four people who were circling around immediately surrounded and asked Li Bing to hurry up and tell him what was going on.

Li Bing pointed to the protruding bluestone at the sharp turn: "You see, when the headlights of the car shine on the big bluestone, because it is particularly smooth, it reflects the strong car lights. And here, there are maple trees everywhere, and now it's late autumn, and the maple leaves are already red. When the light of the light car reflects off the maple leaves, the light reflected back by the multiple maple trees converges on the narrow stone strip in front. ”

Everyone was amazed and stared at Li Bing with interest, hoping that he would continue.

Li Bing leisurely exhaled a smoke ring and continued happily: "Only if the light is very strong, it can be reflected on the maple leaves. After passing through the maple leaves, the light becomes weaker and takes on a red color, and after the repeated refraction of several maple leaves, a red shadow appears on this small stone bar. When we drive at night and our spirits feel tired and nervous, it triggers subconscious fear, which mistakes the red shadow for a 'female ghost' in red. ”

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and Li Bing continued: "Last night, I heard the old man say that the drivers in the past all met the 'female ghost in red' after late autumn, and they were all in this section, and the cars they drove were all relatively high-end without exception. This shows that the premise of the appearance of this 'female ghost in red' is when the maple leaves are red in late autumn, and the car is high-end, and the strength of the headlights is high, and it is all at this turn. As long as these conditions are met, coupled with the fatigue and tension of driving at night, the reflected light is mistaken for the 'female ghost in red'. Now you all understand, right? ”

The five of them burst out laughing, and their hearts began to dispel their fears, and they suddenly felt that at sunrise, the scenery here was incomparably beautiful. Qian Yiduo laughed embarrassedly a few times, and said to Li Bing: "Brother Li, it turns out that this is the truth, fortunately, you are smart and have solved our mystery." Now you can rest in the back seat, and I will drive. ”

After Li Bing and Qian Yiduo exchanged places, they also felt tired, so they sat in the back row and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Qian Yiduo drove and skillfully galloped on the mountain road, and I don't know how long it took, when he suddenly made a "ah" sound. Zhang Yuanshan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hurriedly asked what was wrong?

Qian Yiduo said with a smile: "I just cared about driving, and I missed the farmhouse courtyard where I rested last night." I think I should tell the old couple about the situation analyzed by Brother Li, so that they can tell others about it, and they will no longer be afraid of the so-called 'female ghost in red' around the corner." ”

Zhang Yuanshan smiled slightly: "If you miss it, you will miss it, when we pass by there when we go back to Xi'an, tell them again." ”

Qian Yiduo suddenly slowed down the car and shouted, "Brother Li, wake up." I just thought of something, you can explain it to me again. ”

Zhao Wan'er, who was sitting on the side, pushed Li Bing, and Li Bing opened her eyes with a blank expression. Qian Yiduo repeated it, and Li Bing said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I fell asleep in the car just now." If you have any questions, please let me know. ”

Qian Yibian asked cautiously while driving: "Brother Li, after listening to your explanation, I understand the reason why there is a 'female ghost' in red." But why don't you see it except me? And did I really see the 'female ghost' in red crash into my car? ”

Li Bing laughed and said for a long time: "I forgot to say it just now, not only you, I also saw the female ghost in red last night." It's just not when you see it, it's when I replace you and just get into the driver's seat. ”

Li Bing continued: "I guess that at that time, only the angle of the driver's seat could see this dark red shadow. Also, you see the 'Lady in Red' crashing into the car and then disappearing, which may be the reason for the interaction between the mirrors next to the driver's seat and the windshield of the front windshield. Although the cause of this is complex, in that particular place, at a specific time, at a certain angle, so many coincidences led to the illusion of that dark red shadow moving rapidly to the front window. ”

Qian Yiduo listened, held the steering wheel with his left hand, and gave a thumbs up to the right with his right hand, and the speed of the car was obviously faster.

The car did not take long to drive into Qianxian County, which belongs to Xianyang City, and the group did not care about entering the county seat, so they drove directly to Liangshan in the north of the county seat, which is the location of Qianling, one of the tombs of the eighteen emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

Qian Yiduo told everyone that the road that is driving now is called 'Sima Road', and the famous Qianling Tomb is directly opposite the end.

Shi Liya teased Li Bing with a smile: "Li Bing, look at the small peaks on both sides of Sima Road, what do they look like?" ”

Li Bing blurted out: "Like a girl's two breast peaks." ”

Shi Liya laughed, and Li Bing said embarrassedly: "I have already seen it on the Internet, but I didn't imagine it." ”

Shi Liya smiled and said, "Li Bing, then you are in ** now!" ”

Li Bing became more and more embarrassed, and Zhao Wan'er also laughed: "Brother Li, you are in your 30s, are you still embarrassed to hear this?" ”

After Qian Yiduo found a place to park the car, the group took some necessary things and began to climb the stone steps of Qianling.

Everyone looked up and saw a more than two-meter-high "Tang Gaozong Qianling Tombstone", when they were sighing, Qian Yiduo acted as a tour guide, telling everyone that this tombstone was originally set up by Bi Yuan, the Shaanxi Governor's Mansion for Gaozong, the original monument has been destroyed, and now this tablet was rebuilt during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

The five of them turned to the right again, only to see that there was still a stone tablet erected, on which was inscribed by Guo Moruo "The tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Emperor Zetian".

Unconsciously, a group of five people had finished visiting the "Shusheng Ji Tablet" and Wu Zetian's "Shusheng Ji Tablet" and Wu Zetian's "Wordless Tablet" set up by Wu Zetian for himself outside the south gate of Qianling, as well as 61 headless stone statues of Wang Bin such as Huabiao, winged horses, ostriches, stone horses, Weng Zhong, and stone lions.

When everyone was sighing at the magnificence of Qianling, Zhang Yuanshan walked around not far away, looking back and forth around Qianling, and kept sighing in his mouth.

When the other four people saw Zhang Yuanshan like this, they all knew that he was the successor of Maoshan Taoism, and their curiosity suddenly rose, and they all surrounded him.

Zhang Yuanshan sighed continuously, his eyebrows fluttered, and he looked quite excited. When he saw the other four people surrounding him, he said proudly: "It turns out that the Qianling Tomb is surrounded by a 'Four Elephant Array', which must have been deliberately done by a certain senior monk or Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty." You haven't practiced, so of course you can't see the subtleties. There is a green gas in the east of this Qianling, a white gas in the west, a red gas in the north and south, and a black gas in the north. ”

Zhao Wan'er asked puzzledly, "What 'Four Elephant Array'?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan said proudly: "According to Taoist legend, the celestial phenomena are divided into seven star regions: 'Three Walls' and 'Four Elephants'. 'Wall' is what we usually call 'city walls'. 'Sanyuan' is 'Ziwei Yuan', which symbolizes the imperial palace, 'Taiwei Yuan' represents the imperial court, and 'Tianshiyuan' symbolizes the prosperous market. These three walls are arranged in a triangular pattern around the North Star. There are also 'four elephants' on the periphery of the 'Three Walls', namely 'East Green Dragon, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, and North Xuanwu'. ”

"There are blue, white, red and black four qi distributed around the Qianling, and they are distributed according to the law of the four elephants, which means that when the Qianling was designed, there were masters who arranged the array of the four elephants to town the emperor's mausoleum." Zhang Yuanshan said proudly.
