And in the past three days, Songzi has not been idle, it is obvious that he has secretly written down all the words on it as early as the first time we saw the stone bricks on the heart stone pillar. So these days, he has been studying the meaning of the four words "Guan Gong cherishes the horse", and then combined with the local humanities in Wuhan, to investigate and analyze.

So after his body recovered, he told us that it was actually not much different from the situation I analyzed, so he conducted some investigations and found that it was not only within the scope of the Snake and Turtle Second Mountain, but also related to the martial god Guan Gong, and also related to the Red Rabbit Horse, and there were only two places in the entire range of the three towns of Wuhan, and these two places happened to be distributed within the range of the Turtle Mountain.

Qin Bukong asked Songzi to be careful, this is the last level, but mistakes must not be tolerated. Since beating pine nuts and giving incisive inferences several times, Qin Bukong has now been completely convinced of the other party's knowledge, from the earliest time to argue a few words, to now completely only look forward to pine nuts.

Songzi said that the first place is called "Ximakou", close to Qingchuan Pavilion, near the riverside, but this place according to my analysis, the possibility is not great, because since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there has been a relatively strong wharf atmosphere here, here to load and unload, do business so many merchants, the population density is not small, if Lu Zu chose such a place to set up the array to bury the box, one is not very practical, the other is not scientific.

I asked if the pine nuts were practical, I could understand, after all, there were a lot of people, and they thought that there was no one around, but maybe there were ears on the wall, so burying things might be dug up the next day or third day. Songzi nodded and said yes, and if it was poached at the beginning, there would only be six evils left in the Seven Evils Pass, and this level was not established, that is, since we encountered the previous six levels, it means that this Seven Evils Pass is intact.

I nodded, and then asked Songzi, man, you said this is unscientific, what does that mean. Songzi smiled, pointed at himself, and then pointed at Qin Bukong and then asked me, who do you think is better looking, me or Senior Qin? I don't quite understand why this guy suddenly asked this, but since he has always liked to show off, I just followed him, and just as I was about to answer, I found that Qin Bukong and Songzi were looking at me with four eyes, waiting for an answer from me. Qin Bukong's eyes were full of the kind of look like you kid don't talk nonsense, be careful that I beat you, and the look in Songzi's eyes was even more strange, and he even looked a little expectant.

I couldn't bear to sweep away the interest of pine nuts to show off their knowledge, so I said, of course you are good-looking. After saying that, I felt uncomfortable all over my body, and I lowered my head in shame, not daring to look at either of them. Songzi said that this is right, and Lu Zu should be the same at the beginning, when choosing between two places, there is really no reason to choose a more dangerous and unsafe place to bury the box.

When he said this, it still sounded reasonable. Just listen to Songzi continue, then here I will talk about another place related to Guan Gong and the red rabbit horse, this place is on the gentle slope of the west side of the turtle mountain, there is an ancient road but now it is said to be deserted, there is a hole there, called the Tibetan Horse Cave. Washing the horse mouth and the Tibetan horse hole, are talking about how Guan Yu cherished the red rabbit horse and left the place name, the most famous of which is the washing of the horse, the Ming Dynasty poet Zhao Bi even left the poem of "the defeated battlefield washes the iron skull, the tiger is powerful and shocks the east of the river", it is said that Guan Yu was stationed in this battle in the ban, every time he returned from the battlefield, he had to go to the river to scrub the red rabbit horse, so that place was called the horse wash. Unlike other war horses, the red rabbit horse does not have to stay in the horse pen with other war horses, Guan Yu also personally found a cave to shelter the red rabbit horse from the wind and rain, so this hole is called the Tibetan Horse Cave.

Qin Bukong and I glanced at each other, and then I asked, then you mean that if Lu Zu had hidden things in the Tibetan Horse Cave, it would have been more difficult to be found than hiding in the Horse Washing Cave, right? Matsuko said yes, that's what it means, and the cave is not as famous as the horse wash, and now it has been abandoned, if the cave has not been destroyed, then we can probably find something there.

Qin Bukong took over and said, but when I heard you say this, I always feel that it is just a small cave, I'm afraid it's the size of our small dilapidated house, how much space can be used to shelter horses from the wind and rain? Since such a small place, how can it be a place where a behemoth like "Kui" can stay? Even if Kui's appearance is outside the entrance of the cave, then we will be safe as long as we get into the hole, so what is the point of Lu Zu leaving this pass?

Songzi frowned and said, This is also a problem he used to worry about, but now we haven't been to the scene in person, so we can't know its true size. Second, perhaps our understanding of "kui" may also be a little biased. I said what is the deviation there, Lu Zu personally wrote "Kui is unattainable", what is unattainable, that is to say, it is very big, so big that you can't climb it, isn't it?

Songzi shook his head and said, this literally does mean this, but if you think about it from another angle, unattainable actually says that people have a very high status, or that they are so accomplished in a certain aspect that they are beyond the reach of ordinary people. As soon as Songzi said this, I didn't speak, although I was a little hard to believe, but after Songzi explained this, I also found that it was indeed possible to mean this, after all, if Lu Zu wanted to place the formation back then, he must first design the ins and outs of it, and these things we found from the stone box along the way were all from the items of the Witch King who fought with Lu Zu back then, if the Witch King's items could catalyze a behemoth to come out, Lu Zu naturally did not have to choose to hide in a small hole.

Songzi said, but this is not necessarily, don't you remember when we were in Changchun, the underground river? We all thought it was just a well, how big the well could be, who knew that when it was really close to the truth, we found that there was something else. Qin Bukong and I both nodded, it seems that for the sake of the future, we can only know the truth by observing it on the spot. Before that, it was a matter of pine nuts to visit the field, and now although his body has recovered, it is not completely recovered after all, Qin is not empty of a person of his age, and letting him climb the hill seems to be contrary to the fine virtues of the Chinese nation of respecting the old and loving the young. So when I mentioned who should go, Songzi and Qin Bukong looked at me together.

There was no way, someone had to do it, so I agreed to rush to Turtle Mountain alone the next morning to explore the cave of the hidden horse.

I was going to go out early the next morning, and before I went out, Songzi also specially wrapped dry food and water for me, saying that I could eat when I was tired and hungry, Qin Bukong smiled meaningfully on the side, I was a little embarrassed, but I couldn't bear to hit Songzi's kindness, so I took it and went out without looking back.

From Qin Bukong's home to Guishan is actually not very far, across a Han River to arrive, on the way will even pass through the iron gate pass we broke through before, but after the car arrived at the iron gate pass, I need to find the way by myself, I first inquired all the way to the horse washing mouth, found that although this place is not a lot of traffic, but also people come and go, very lively, and the iron gate pass is different, the ground is lively, there are always some sewer pipes underground, but the horse washing mouth is close to the river, a lot of domestic wastewater is not through the sewer, Instead, ditches were dug and discharged directly into the river. I walked west along the river, thinking that since it was on the western slope, then I had to find a relatively decent road, listening to Songzi said, this seems to be an ancient road, but it is deserted, so I began to ask the people around if there is a Tibetan horse cave nearby, on the edge of an ancient road, but I was told by the old people who have lived nearby for decades that the ancient road is there, and the Tibetan horse cave is also there, but now the ancient road has been closed because the road is too bad, and the people who used to climb the mountain have changed directions from the place of Qingchuan Pavilion, That ancient road is basically unattended now.

I asked the old man what it meant that basically no one left, which means that there were still people who went there occasionally, but not much, right? The old man told me that there were people grazing horses on the banks of the river, and those who herded horses would graze their horses on the wetlands where aquatic weeds grew after the water receded at this time of year, and the road was inconvenient, so they simply set up a shack near there and lived there temporarily. These are the mountain people who have lived nearby for generations, and if you go west along the river, you will see the horse herders when you go around the bend, and when you ask them, as long as there are people, you will know the location of the cave. But little boy, it's not easy to go to the Hidden Horse Cave, it's not on the edge of the ancient road, you have to open your own way from the edge of the ancient road to find it.

After thanking the old man, I decided to go to the horse herder first. The beach along the river is actually not very big, about the same as the foot of the Yangtze River Bridge we went to before, but the beach here is softer and has more moisture in the sediment, so I have to be more careful, and when I step into the mud puddle, the speed is much slower, and when I see the first shack and the seven or eight horses on the side, it is almost noon.

I thought to myself that it would not be too early anyway, so I would just eat some dry food from a distance and ask again, so as not to wait until someone else was eating, and think that I was disturbing the interest. Thinking of this, I began to sit on the spot and nibble on the steamed buns.
