Qin Bukong said, of course I remember that under the word "魑" is written "Ying has enlightenment", but this sentence looks very ordinary, what clues can be investigated?

Songzi said, these four words I am just guessing, literally taken alone, "Ying" represents a flash of inspiration, or something special, this four-word word can be understood as "finally realized a special place" meaning. So it can be simplified to a two-word word, called "Wu Ying".

Qin Bukong and I both nodded, although his explanation sounded very reasonable, but I still didn't understand the meaning of the word "Wu Ying" under "魑", could it mean that I finally figured out a truth, so it became the meaning of 魑? Apparently this is not the case, and sure enough, Matsuko continued, if this is the case, then I do know a place where there is an overlap with these two words. As early as when I first came here to investigate, I had a proper understanding of some local places, so I knew about it.

Qin Bukong snorted, very disdainful, he said, stinky boy, have you been here for as long as me? Songzi smiled and said, Senior Qin, no matter how long it is, some people who have lived here all their lives may not know it. But we metaphysical people naturally pay more attention to these things.

What he meant sounded polite, but he was ironic that Qin Bukong had lived here for nothing all these years. I secretly thought it was funny, and I also felt that although Matsuko looked kind and pedantic, it was actually unforgiving, and if there was nothing to do in the future, it was better not to provoke him.

Matsuko went on to say that it was on the other side of the river, southeast of here, where we would board and dock. There is a very magical pagoda called "Wu Ying Pagoda". The Hongshan Pagoda next to the Baotong Zen Temple, this Hongshan Pagoda you should all know, is rumored to be built in order to miss the founding patriarch of the Baotong Temple, Master Lingji Ciren, this Wuying Pagoda is not far away, but because the tower is very small, so a comparison, it is not so attention-grabbing.

Qin Bukong retorted again, I said stinky boy, you don't understand, but don't pretend to understand? The time when the Baotong Temple was built was in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, and the seven passes we want to break through were left in the Song Dynasty. So you chose such a place?

Songzi shook his head and said, Senior Qin, you don't know anything about this. Although the Wuying Pagoda is on the edge of the Hongshan Pagoda, but that is the location after the relocation, in fact, in the "Huguang Tongzhi", the feng shui dragon veins of this place have been described in detail, one of which is "the ancient Wuying Pagoda is located on the Huanghu Rock Stone, every day at noon does not see the shadow, the name of the Tibetan bones does not know who is what." ”

This place used to be one of the local dragon veins, and because of this, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, such as the dragon across the river, was built here, and the bridge piers on the east bank of the river are on this Yellow Bird Rock. In fact, that place was called "Xingfu Temple" before, it was built in the Chengsheng period of the Southern Dynasty, and was expanded during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, this Wuying Pagoda is one of the buildings of Xingfu Temple, so it can be seen that the time of Wuying Pagoda is nearly 700 years earlier than Hongshan Pagoda. Xingfu Temple had an expansion in the Southern Song Dynasty, which shows that the era in which the master of the Seven Evil Passes was at that time, Xingfu Temple was still on the Yellow Bird Rock, and the Wuying Pagoda was also there. So we only need to go to Huanghuji to find the old site of the original tower, and we should be able to solve this secret.

I didn't speak because I didn't understand anything. But Songzi's reasoning, frankly speaking, did convince me that within the scope of metaphysics, if there are two or three or even more coincidences in a row, the result can basically be speculated more accurately, after all, we don't need to pay attention to any evidence, if we must cite it, those strange coincidences are counted as a kind of evidence. But Qin Bukong didn't know if it was a hard mouth or what, he didn't seem to think so, he said, even if you said so, this Huanghuji is now the pier of the bridge, and the original things have been razed to the ground for the purpose of construction, can it be that you can find it if you say it?

Songzi smiled when he heard it, and he said, if you look for it with your eyes, you will naturally not be able to find it for a long time, but if you use the ability of feng shui to fix the acupoints and find the location of the dragon veins on a rock, my little Taoist still has this ability. He was right, since the old site of the "Wuying Pagoda" is just above the dragon vein, as long as the dragon vein is found, this old site will naturally be found.

Qin Bukong said, even if this is the case, the dragon vein is so big, and it is not a small range of points, even if you find the dragon vein, it is only a large range, how big can the base of the pagoda be, the location is not accurate, and what year and month will you find it? Songzi said, Senior Qin, you forgot what I said just now, the sentence "no shadow is seen at noon every day" written in "Huguang Tongzhi", this sentence means that at noon every day, under the sun, this tower has no shadow. So this tower is also called the "Shadowless Tower", we only need to locate the dragon vein, and then set up some straight bamboo poles, noon observation, which has no shadow, which is the real old site.

In this way, Qin Bukong didn't speak anymore, it seemed that he was finally completely persuaded by Songzi's remarks, and now we are at a loss, any possible clue should not be missed. So Qin Bukong sighed and said, then let's do it, let's recuperate for another three days, and after three days, we will break through.

This is like giving orders, but it makes me a little inexplicably excited, and even enthusiastic, and the current expectation of breaking through the level even exceeds the expectation of the soul of the witch king. Three days passed in a flash. Three days later, the three of us drilled through the tunnel together, came to the edge of the stone pillar in the center of the formation, and inserted seven vajra in turn according to the order we had calculated before. Every time he inserted one, Qin Bukong paused for more than a minute, vigilant of the changes around him, fortunately, everything went well, but after the seven of us were inserted, there was a click, and the stone brick with the word "魑" on the stone pillar seemed to have been popped out from the inside.

Since they can be raised, it is true that the bricks are as loose as when we first started looking at the handwriting. So Qin Bukong reached out and pulled the raised stone bricks, and found that they could be taken out completely like a drawer. Strangely enough, behind the stone brick is not a single brick, but a groove that seems to have been dug, and in the center of the groove is a semicircular depression, about the size of a ping-pong ball, which seems to have been used to fit a circular device.

Qin Bukong frowned and didn't speak, and he didn't seem to understand this thing at all. So I opened my mouth and said, since the Seven Evils are the ghosts among them, will we be able to get something after each Evil, and this thing happens to be this circular shape? Qin Bu and Songzi both shook their heads, saying that they didn't know either, and the only way now was to go to the old site of Wuying Pagoda to find it, and this place was just our speculation, whether it was here or not, we had to go to know it.

So Qin Bukong put the stone brick back in place and tried to press it into the stone pillar, but found that something seemed to be in the way, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't press it to the end, and he could only give up. At about ten o'clock in the morning, the three of us began to cross the river, and after arriving at the Wuchang wharf, we turned around and went around to the bottom of the bridge pier, which was the stone beam in the center of the river called "Huanghuji" before the bridge was built.

Now that the season is dry, the stone beams that were mostly submerged under the water are also exposed. We can follow the stone beams and walk to a position about two or three hundred meters away from the shore, just under the bridge of the Yangtze River Bridge. Standing on a large rock, holding a compass in his hand, he began to calculate the bearing, but it seemed that the position we were standing at the moment was still a little farther away, and the last position that Matsuko calculated happened to be about fifty meters south of the bridge pier, a wasteland composed of various piles of rubble.

I thought to myself that this is not a good thing to fix now, this gravel was obviously knocked down when the bridge was built, even if there is really something hidden here, or some mystery, I guess it would have been known a long time ago. Seeing that there was still about an hour before noon, we planted nine long bamboo poles in this large circle with a diameter of about 30 meters, according to the method of gossip. The reason why we chose the shape of Bagua is because Songzi tells us that after the relocation, the Wuying Pagoda is eight sides and four floors, and after everything is ready, we will wait for the noon to come.

The so-called noon is a large area that spans two hours, but noon is only a few minutes. So at noon, we began to look back and forth where the nine bamboo poles were placed, and soon we found that under the bamboo pole where the hexagram was, it was almost facing the sun, so that there was no shadow on the ground at all. And the Qiangua is precisely the first in the ranking, and it is also the hexagram that corresponds to the word "魑".

With such a few coincidences overlapping, we think that there should be something under the bamboo pole. So the three of us began to rummage through the rocks on the ground piece by piece. There are a lot of weeds in this wasteland, which means that even in the flood season, this place will not be flooded, so the possibility of something buried underneath is relatively much increased, but it is not known whether it has been destroyed after this thousand years.

We dug all afternoon and found nothing but rocks and dirt. Qin Bukong began to question the pine nuts and asked if he had miscalculated the place? Songzi was also a little anxious, so he found a dragon ruler, which was a tool used by the ancients to locate a small area by the principle of leverage, and was often used to remove mines and find metal ores in modern society. However, Songzi turned the dragon ruler around a few times, and stopped where the dragon head was pointing, but it happened to be the place we dug before.

So, are we not digging deep enough?
