At this moment, an agricultural tricycle came closer from a distance, emitting a puff of black smoke.
The driver was an old man, and there was also a young man sitting in the car.
He looked very fashionable and looked like a city dweller.
"Brother," Zhang Guozhong reached out to stop the car, "I want to ask you something."
"What?"
The little old man driving the car kept looking at Zhang Guozhong.
"Do you know where the water in this pool comes from?"
Zhang Guozhong handed over a cigarette with a smile on his face.
"This, it was brought from over there."
The little old man pointed in the direction of Niangniang Mountain not far away.
"Yes, I know it's drawn from over there.
Do you know how it's drawn?
Is it by digging trenches or using a water pump?"
"Why do you ask?"
The little old man jumped off the agricultural tricycle with a sly movement, took out his lighter and lit a cigarette, looking at Zhang Guozhong with a pair of small mung bean eyes.
"Oh, this is the gentleman we invited, just for the incident of drowning someone a few days ago."
Yang Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to strike up a conversation, and muttered under the little old man's ear.
"Oh, Zhang Banxian."
After hearing Yang Zhou mutter, the little old man's expression turned completely.
"My surname is Li, just call me Li Laoer.
Half of the water in this pool is pumped, and half is pumped."
Ditches were dug to lead the way, but ditches were not dug by modern people, they existed from ancient times.”
"It has existed since ancient times."
Zhang Guozhong frowned, "Can you give me more details?"
"How about I take you to take a look at this."
Li Laoer thought for a while and decided to take Zhang Guozhong and Yang Zhou to the trench digging site to investigate.
"San'er, you drive the car back first, and I'll take Zhang Banxian Go and have a look at Baizhang Pond.”
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Li Laoer took Zhang Guozhong and Yang Zhou to the edge of a small pool.
"This is right here."
Li Laoer wiped his sweat and pointed to the small pool. , "This is Baizhang Pond.
The water for the fish pond is pumped from here with a water pump."
"Here" Zhang Guozhong leaned down and looked at the pool carefully.
He saw that the pool was about five meters square.
The pool was so dark that he didn't know how deep it was.
The four walls of the pool were made of bluestone.
It really didn't look like that.
It was built by modern people, but judging from the weathering of the surrounding bluestone edges, it seems that it is not too old, at most two or three hundred years.
"The water in this pool can fill the entire fish pond."
Zhang Guozhong frowned and put his hand into the water, only to feel it was bitingly cold.
"This pool is very strange," Li Laoer frowned, "No one knows when it was built, and no one knows why it was built.
Someone once tied a stone with a hemp rope to test the depth. , and it took more than 60 meters of rope to explore the bottom.
As far back as I can remember, the adults wouldn’t let us get close to this pond.
This pond was the closest to our village, but at that time, people in the village would rather go a mile away to fetch water.
They don’t even come here to fetch water, and I don’t know why.
In the 1980s, there was a man named Zhang Shengli in the village.

He was so full that he had nothing to do.
He built a water pump and tried to drain the water in the pond.
As a result, the water pump lasted three days and three nights, and the water in the pond was drained.
Didn't even see it at that time.
At that time, everyone said that there must be a secret passage in this pond, connected to other water veins.
Later, a few young people in the village wanted to build a fish pond, so they thought about pumping water from here.
As a result, the water had just been pumped out before the fish could be raised. , and drowned people.”
"Secret passage" Zhang Guozhong opened the compass and walked around the pond.
He found that the Baizhang Pond was facing the center line in the direction of Niangniang Mountain.
There was indeed something abnormal about Yin and Yang.
If there really was a so-called secret passage connecting other water veins at the bottom of the pool, It should be right down there.
"Could it be the evil spirit?"
Looking at the changes in the compass, Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but frowned, because the water in the Baizhang Pond and the so-called secret passage had significantly higher Yin Qi than the fish pond just now.
Maoshan Shu believes that any stagnant water next to a tomb is a sign of great yin.
The solution is to dig a ditch or waterway to lead the water to a place where yin and yang can circulate, because water controls both yin and the circulation of yin energy.
It is a good carrier to lead stagnant water to a place where yin and yang can circulate.
It not only helps to release the yin energy accumulated in the stagnant water, but also helps to release the resentment caused by the accumulation of yin energy in the tomb owner.
In Maoshan technique, this kind of ditch digging The method of channeling yin is called releasing evil spirits.
The scale of leaking evil spirits is directly proportional to the size of the stagnant water area next to the tomb and the scale of the tomb.
Calculated based on the size of ordinary people's tombs, if there is stagnant water within an acre of the tomb, then digging a small ditch half a foot wide is enough.
The length of the ditch At most one to two meters can play a good role in releasing evil spirits.
And if the current Baizhang Pond is really the product of releasing evil spirits, how large a scale of evil spirits will be released?
Frowning, Zhang Guozhong took the compass and walked along the so-called culvert for a hundred or two hundred meters until there was no way to go.
Although there was no place to step on the ground, according to the compass, the underground culvert still seemed to be there.
Extending forward, it seems that it will not stop until it reaches Niangniang Mountain.
"Zhang Banxian," Li Laoer followed Zhang Guozhong and finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity, "What kind of skills have you seen?"
"This culvert should be right under our feet," Zhang Guozhong said.
"If my estimate is correct, this culvert should lead to an underground water vein somewhere in Niangniang Mountain."
"You mean that the drowning of people in fish ponds has something to do with water," Li Laoer said with a sly look.
"It's hard to say now," Zhang Guozhong took a deep breath.
"If you know where this waterway leads to, maybe you can figure it out."
"Zhang Banxian, do you know what the Baizhang Pond is used for?"
Li Laoer continued to ask.
It seemed that he had been holding these words in his mouth for a long time.
"I suspect it was used to reveal the tombs."
Zhang Guozhong said, "Uncle Li, do you know if there are any ancient tombs nearby?"
"What does leaking tombs mean?"
Li Laoer's two little mung bean eyes widened, "I have never heard of ancient tombs."
"Do you know where to go to Niangniang Mountain?"
Zhang Guozhong pointed to Niangniang Mountain not far away and continued to ask.
"You have to go around that way to go up the mountain.
There is no road here."
Li Laoer pointed to the direction he came from just now, "Zhang Banxian, how about this, I'll drive you there."
"No need, we have a car, just tell us the way."
Faced with Li Laoer's enthusiasm, Zhang Guozhong felt a little embarrassed.

"That car of yours," Li Laoer chuckled, seeming to be very dismissive of Yang Zhou's Santana, "If you can't get in that car of yours, if you want to go over there, you'll have to use my car."
Sitting on Li Laoer's agricultural three-wheeler, Zhang Guozhong regained a bit of the feeling of riding an ox cart in Bashan.
The mountain road under his feet was indeed not something that a car like Santana could drive on, and it took about half an hour of bumpy rides. , the car circled around and stopped in a slightly flat open space at the foot of the mountain.
"We can only go here."
Li Laoer smiled, with wrinkles on his face.
"Thank you."
Zhang Guozhong got out of the car and looked at the road up the mountain.
It was much flatter than he thought.
"No need to thank you, you are doing something for the village.
I will just look at the car here and wait for you."
"Thank you so much" Zhang Guozhong held Li Laoer's hand, "We met by chance, I really don't know how to thank you."
"Hey," holding Zhang Guozhong's hand, Li Laoer's smiling face suddenly froze, "Zhang Banxian, I have a private matter that I want to ask you to help me with.
I wonder if you have time."
"Ah" Zhang Guozhong's expression also froze, and he secretly thought that it was not good, but at this moment, he had just finished riding in someone else's car, so it was not easy to shirk it, "You can just say it."
"Don't get me wrong.
I definitely didn't mean that.
If I hadn't come to Niangniang Mountain, I really wouldn't have been able to remember it."
Li Laoer also looked apologetic at this time, "My nephew once went to Niangniang Mountain.
Shan Wan, you brought those unclean things home, if you have time, could you show them to me?"
"Unclean things" Zhang Guozhong was stunned, "What unclean things?"
"You must have been a year younger to say this."
Li Laoer squeezed his mung bean eyes and sighed, "I can't say whether it has anything to do with Niangniang Mountain.
Children in the village always go to the mountain to play. , everything is possible but him.”
Li Lao Er has a younger brother named Li Zhen.
He married his aunt and cousin.
After getting married for more than ten years, he had no children.
At first, he was quite worried.
He went everywhere to seek medical advice.
All the money he had saved at home was spent, and he still had no children.
Got a lot of debt.
But then a family planning propaganda team came from the city.
They talked to Mr. and Mrs.
Li Zhen and several other couples in the same village about the issue of incest marriage.
They said that having children in incest marriages is prone to problems, and they cited a lot of them.
The example made Li Zhen a little scared.
It would be better to give birth to a fool and a fool, but what if it is a child with missing arms and legs, and he can't even work.
Just when Li Zhen and his wife decided to give up their plan to have a child and prepare to spend money to buy a child, Li Zhen's wife turned out to be pregnant.
When they were more than three months pregnant, the couple went to the doctor at the county hospital for a B-ultrasound with red envelopes stuffed in the back door.
It turned out that he was still a boy, and the B-ultrasound showed that the child was at least normal in appearance and had no obvious symptoms.
Because of his physical defects, Li Zhen hesitated again.
If you want to talk about getting a baby, think about how I have been looking forward to my son for so many years that I have almost gone crazy.
Besides, according to the B-ultrasound, the condition is pretty good, at least he is not missing an arm or a leg.
I want to get it, but the words of the family planning propaganda team are still ringing in my ears.
The pictures of grotesquely deformed children are still vivid in my mind.
Seeing his wife's belly growing little by little, Li Zhen finally made a helpless decision to go to Wudang Mountain to ask for a fortune, hoping to let the gods decide the fate of the child.

To be honest, this kind of lottery is actually very difficult to obtain.
Both Buddhism and Taoism are against abortion.
According to religious explanations, whether a child is good or bad is a cycle of cause and effect.
It does not mean that you can escape through abortion.
So strictly speaking, no matter what the result of the petition is, the interpreter will recommend keeping the child.
Li Zhen was no exception.
Although he asked for a fortune, he still decided to keep the child after being persuaded by the Taoist priest.
According to the Taoist priest, there should be no problem with the child's innateness, but there may be some unexpected events the day after tomorrow. , but any specific problems will depend on the birth date, so after the child is born, he should go to the mountain to ask for another lottery.
Six months later, the child was born on time on the due date.
The child was quite successful.
Not only was the birth extremely smooth and Li Zhen's wife did not suffer any harm, but he was also very healthy both physically and in appearance.
He was neither deaf nor mute.
He was deformed and could even be said to be quite handsome.
This made Li Zhen and his wife so happy that they completely forgot about the Taoist priest’s instructions to ask for another sign.
Time flies, and in seven or eight years, the child has reached the age where he should go to school.
Children in local rural areas generally enter school late, and entering school at the age of eight is the normal age.
However, just a few days before school started, something happened to the child.
Early that morning, the child went out to play with a few older children, and the family didn't pay much attention to it.
In rural areas, children are relatively precocious.
At seven or eight years old, they are already considered half-grown young men.
Besides, there are a few Theoretically nothing would happen if the older one followed him, but unexpectedly, the child was fine when he went out during the day, but when he came back at night he suddenly became extremely dull, as if he had lost his soul.
That night, when the child went out to buy cigarettes, Li Zhen went out to buy cigarettes and came home.
When he opened the door, he saw a bloody human head hanging at the door.
He was so frightened that Li Zhen foamed at the scene.
Afterwards, he told his family about it, and everyone in the family was shocked.
He said he saw it wrong.
There was a bamboo hat hanging at the door of the house, and a small bamboo basket hung under the bamboo hat.
At first glance, it did look a bit like a human head.
Maybe it was because it was dark, but this Li Zhen Que insisted that what he saw was a human head, because the illusion was caused by the first glance, and he would never see it wrong again at the second glance.
And his first reaction at the time was also that he saw the human head wrong, so he calmed down and looked carefully again At a glance, I realized that it was indeed a human head, and I fainted from fright.
Otherwise, how could I, a man in his fifties, be so frightened by a broken bamboo basket that had been hung at the door for several years that he would foam at the mouth?
Later, the family also asked the child where he went and what he did that day, but the child refused to tell and insisted that he had been with other children in the village, even going to Niangniang Mountain to play for a while.
The other children also said the same.
Unexpectedly, the next night, Li Zhen's wife woke up and found someone looking directly at her outside the window.
She was so frightened that she fainted.
After Li Zhen was awakened by his wife, he also saw the person standing outside the window.
After being frightened, he looked carefully and found that the person standing outside was actually his son.
He was so angry that he opened the window, stretched out his arm and slapped the child.
Unexpectedly, the child got slapped.
After being slapped, he woke up from a dream and said he had no idea why he was standing here.
Ever since that time, this child has not been normal.
He is always nagging about anything and everything, which makes Li Zhen very anxious all day long.
He is more than ten years younger than Li Lao Er, and he actually looks better than Li Lao Er.
Still old.
Organized and produced by the e-book group Ghosting Wuji After struggling like this for several months, many people said that something unclean must have been brought into Li Zhen's home, and they advised Li Zhen to find a gentleman to take a look.

Only then did Li Zhen remember the Taoist priest who told him to ask for a signature again. , hurriedly took his son to Wudang Mountain to ask for another lottery, and the result was "I am afraid of Rengui and afraid of water, I live under the mountain and don't climb high."
At this time, the Taoist priest who interpreted the signature was no longer the Taoist priest who had told Li Zhen back then.
Li Zhen himself did not remember the signature.
The Taoist priest who interpreted the signature could only explain the signature: According to the signature, the north is " "Rengui water" "The body is afraid of Rengui and the heart is afraid of water" shows that the child's nemesis is in the north, and "it is better to live under the mountains than climb high" is easy to understand, which means that it is best for the child to live under the mountains all his life and rarely go to high places.
Ensure good health.
At this point, Li Zhen was completely stunned.
The child was going to Niangniang Mountain, and Niangniang Mountain was just north of his home.
It was both the north and the mountain.
Both unreliable things were taken care of.
How could something not happen?
"Afterwards, my husband was invited to the family and they all said it was fine and nothing happened.
But after all, they said it was abnormal for the child to open his eyes."
Li Laoer frowned and stared at Zhang Guozhong intently with his two mung beans, "Zhang Banxian, Zhang Shenxian, I, Mr.
Li, am a dead horse and a living horse.
Regardless of whether it is there or not, could you please take a look and see if it is possible?"
"Do you know your nephew's date of birth?"
After listening to Li Lao Er talk about his nephew's visit to Niangniang Mountain for a long time, Zhang Guozhong felt that the suspicion of the whole matter was not in Niangniang Mountain, but that Li Zhen took his son from Wudang.
The mountain asked for the signature.
It is not difficult to ask for a signature, but interpreting a signature is definitely a university question.
Taoism has a saying of "three points and seven points" when it comes to asking for a signature, which shows the importance of understanding the signature.
In Zhang Guozhong's view, more than 90% of the signatures have a hidden meaning that is far greater than the literal meaning.
It is even possible that the literal meaning is completely different or completely opposite.
However, the Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain obviously failed to do so at the moment.
He has an insight into the deeper meaning of the signature, and just translates the signature "just like the signature".
"Hey, I don't know about this, but my brother knows that if you have time, when you come down from the mountain, we will go directly to his house, and I, Li Laoer, will be the host tonight."
Seeing that Zhang Guozhong seemed to agree, Li Laoer obviously A lot more relaxed.
On Niangniang Mountain, Zhang Guozhong did not find any valuable clues.
This Niangniang Mountain is somewhat similar to Shuangta Mountain in those days.
Although the mountain is not big, it is not so small that you can find the target with a compass.
Perhaps due to the thicker rock formations on the mountain, Compass seemed to have completely lost its response to the so-called secret passage leading to Baizhang Pond.
After wandering around to no avail, Zhang Guozhong simply took Yang Zhou and Li Laoer to Li Zhen's house.
The nephew that Li Laoer calls is Li Shuai.
According to Zhang Guozhong's aesthetics, he is indeed quite handsome.
His tiger-headed appearance has the charm of Zhang Yicheng when he was young.
However, the child's eyes are a bit dull at the moment, and his nose is dripping into his mouth.
I don't know how to wipe it off, it looks sloppy at first glance.
"This kid was not like this before," Li Zhen seemed to have noticed Zhang Guozhong's thoughts.
"He used to be very clever.
Alas, this is all my fault.
If he had thought about asking for fortune-telling, he would not be allowed to go up the mountain even if he died."
"Young man, how old are you?"
Zhang Guozhong touched Li Shuai's head and looked at the compass with his other hand.
Everything was normal.
"Eight years old."
Li Shuai raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Guozhong, "Uncle, how old are you?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The question "I" made Zhang Guozhong dumbfounded.
To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he heard someone call him "uncle", and he felt a little depressed.
"Whether you are old or young, do you ask your elders like this?"
Li Zhen seemed to know some etiquette, "When you ask your elders, you have to ask how old you are."
"Uncle, how old are you?"
Li Shuai was quite obedient, and he learned it immediately after being taught by his father.
"I'm forty-eight years old."
Zhang Guozhong almost cried.
The two men sang harmoniously, but the question is, are he that old?
"Oh, Zhang Banxian, you are already forty-eight."
Zhang Guozhong said this, and Li Laoer, who was sitting aside, immediately looked surprised, "Then you are quite tender-faced.
I just praised you to my brothers and my wife for being young and promising.
No!
You'll be three years younger than me in just a short while."
Hearing what Li Lao Er said, Zhang Guozhong really felt like he was dead.
He yelled "Uncle Li" all the way.
After a long time of quarrel, this "Uncle Li" was three years older than him.
People in rural areas like to count their "false years".
In terms of age, this "Uncle Li" is probably no more than three years older than me, and then he also lost his "face".
"There is nothing wrong with this child.
I'd better take a look at this house."
When the conversation got to this point, Zhang Guozhong had to change the topic.
"Hey, okay, okay, what I want you to see is the house."
Li Zhen and Li Laoer followed Zhang Guozhong out of the house in a hurry
