Ye Xun took the information and said: "If we deduce based on time, the prototype of Erlang Shen is most likely Li Erlang, Li Bing's son. But where is the Guanjiang mouth occupied by Erlang Shen and the three thousand grass-headed gods? This place has long been gone. .”
Douluo typed the information and said: "I think Guanjiangkou should be in Guan County in the middle of Sichuan. I have been to that place and there are Erlang temples everywhere. I don't believe it. The Erlang restricted area is not in Guan County."
I shook my head and said: "Places with many temples are not necessarily mythical forbidden areas. The more densely populated the place, the harder it is to hide secrets. You drive first and let me think about it."
From the moment I got in the car, I was trying my best to recall the contents of the "Classic of All Things". My dad seemed to have annotated Guanjiangkou in the "Classic of All Things", but he only drew a dozen "question marks" on it.
The question mark represents doubt.
My dad must have discovered something that puzzled him.
I was silent for a long time before saying: "Ye Xun, tell me, if there really is a mythical forbidden area in Guanjiangkou, what secrets will be sealed?"
Ye Xun didn't seem to understand what I meant: "What did you say?"
I explained: "If you think carefully about all the restricted areas we have experienced, they probably all have the same characteristic, which is that they contain unknown secrets. For example, the Golden Mask is a shamanic inheritance; the Mechanical Maze City is mechanical power; if Erlang Shen What could it be if there is something in the restricted area?”
Ye Xun shook his head and said, "I can't think of it."
Doudu said: "What's so difficult about that? It must be the third eye! Although I am a Chinese medicine doctor, I occasionally read Western medicine. I have seen the argument of a foreign scientist before. He said that human beings actually have a third eye. There was only one eye, but it fell away later.”
I vaguely remember reading something related. The scientist believed that the third eye of human beings is the pineal gland in the brain. The location of the pineal gland can be connected in a straight line with the center of the human eyebrows. It can be used for Perceive things in the outside world.
It is said that there is a little girl abroad who can perceive everything in the outside world while being blindfolded. Including seeing the words in the book, some people attribute this phenomenon to special powers, while others think that her pineal gland is more developed than ordinary people.
I said: "Ye Xun, doesn't Taoism have a theory of opening the heavenly eye? Does the opening of the heavenly eye exist?"
Both Buddhism and Taoism have a saying about "Heavenly Eyes", collectively called "Heavenly Eyes Tong", also known as "Heavenly Eyes Realize Wisdom and Tong"
According to two schools of thought, the third eye is located at the Yintang above the root of the nose, and it has the ability to image two inches from the Yintang. After practicing the Heavenly Eye Skill, the Heavenly Eye between the eyebrows is activated and opened. When a person closes his eyes, a screen-like thing will appear in front of the forehead and can image. The Heavenly Eye function can perform micro-vision and perspective, and can even see the past and future. It is one of the religious supernatural powers.
"I don't know, at least I don't know how to open the clairvoyance." Ye Xun shook his head and said: "It is said that the founder of our sect once practiced clairvoyance and achieved extremely high achievements. However, no one has been able to achieve true clairvoyance since the ancestor. Eye of Heaven.”
I nodded and said: "If there really is a clairvoyant vision left by Erlang Shen at Guanjiangkou, maybe we can crack the secret technique of charming souls. But we must first find out where Guanjiangkou is?"
Douduo said casually: "Think slowly, it's far away from the sun setting. We don't miss that time."
"Huh..." I subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky, and suddenly an idea flashed in my mind: "Stop the car, let's not go into the river, and go to this area."
Doudu turned around and said, "Are you stupid? If you don't enter Shuzhong, where can you find the mouth of Guanjiang River?"
I said solemnly: "Actually, there is another Guanjiang estuary. None of us paid attention to it. In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen fought at the Guanjiang estuary."
"According to legend, when Wu Chengen was writing "Journey to the West", he once took a boat down the Guan River. After an on-site inspection of the Guanjiang estuary, he wrote about the Battle of Guanjiang estuary. In ancient times, the Guan River was called Guan Jiang. I I think Wu Chengen’s inference is more reliable.”
Doudui said: "Don't talk nonsense. Helu lived in the Warring States Period. When did Li Bing live? It was also the Warring States Period. Where is Wu Cheng'en? It was the Ming and Qing Dynasties, okay? The three of them are separated by more than a thousand years. Why don't you go to Shu to find him? Erlang Shen, you must hang around in Jiangsu Province. You are not reliable!"
I smiled and said: "Sometimes, unreliable things are actually more reliable. Don't worry about so many things for now. Let's talk about it after we go. Old donkey, please contact Mother Fox and ask her to tell her that we are going to Shuzhong to find Erlang's restricted area. If we let it out, it would be best if Mother Fox can give the illusion that we are going to Sichuan."
"Ye Xun makes a U-turn, let's go to the junction of the three counties. Let Detective Hand go play in Shu by himself!"
"Xia Qingqing, you also need to send people to Shu. You don't need too many people. You just need to let one of the three elders of the Sheng family reveal his whereabouts."
After I made three arrangements in a row, Ye Xun also adjusted his direction and rushed to Guanjiangkou without stopping.
According to Wu Chengen's records, the location of Guanjiang Estuary should be at the junction of the three counties. Three water veins happen to meet here and flow into the river. Based on this point alone, the only place we rushed to was the real river mouth.
Doudu followed me on the river bank for a long time and then said while chewing his teeth: "This place is a bit like the Guanjiang estuary you mentioned, but there is not even a temple nearby. Where can we find Erlang God?"
"Wait a moment! The sun is going to set." I pointed to the mountain peak in the distance and said, "Have you seen that cave mountain? I estimate that the sun will set behind that mountain in a while. When the sun sets, some things will happen. You’ll find out soon.”
The so-called "hole mountain" is a place with huge holes in the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a hole has been poked into the mountain peak.
There are many such peaks all over the country, and each peak has its legend.
I pointed to the cave mountain and said: "It is said that in order to suppress the Golden Crow, Erlang Shen once used a mountain carrying pole to chase the Golden Crow through the clouds and mist on his back. After suppressing eleven Golden Crows in a row, the mountain carrying pole finally could not bear the weight of the mountain. It was broken into two pieces, and after Erlang Shen carried it on his back, the mountain crashed to the ground, turning it into a hole in the mountain. Because according to legend, Erlang Shen used a pole to poke a hole in the mountain and carry it on his body."
I turned to look at Doudu and said, "There is not only a river with three forks here, but also a cave mountain. Do you think this is the mouth of the Guanjiang River?"
Doudu argued with me: "You said that was the mountain Erlang Shen picked, right? Then let me ask you, Erlang should pick two mountains, right? There is a cave mountain over there, where is the other mountain? Already?"
"Gang Jing!" I cursed with a smile and turned away, ignoring Doudu, and concentrated on waiting for the sun to set.
After gathering away the violent red sun, it didn't take long to slowly set behind the mountain peak, forming a straight line with the hole on the peak. The afterglow of the setting sun also spread through the mountain peak to the water surface, adding a touch of bright red to the river level.
My eyes looking towards the river could not help but shrink in confusion, and Douduo also took a breath of cold air: "The place you are talking about can't be the red dot in the water, right? Going down from there is asking for death!"
The sunlight falling from the mountains indeed forms a red color in the water. , if I guessed correctly, it should be the entrance to Erlang's restricted area, but the red dot happened to be at the intersection of the three currents.
Just the sound of the rushing water is enough to frighten you, let alone the undercurrent hidden under the water.
Ye Xun also said: "Huanzi, are you mistaken? Even if a fish falls into that place, it may not be able to swim out, right? Who do you think can create a restricted area down there? And... "
Ye Xun's voice paused and said: "Don't you think the light that came just now was too weird? The sun and the moon can only cast shadows on the calm water, but look for yourself, the waves in that place have already How is it rolled up? Is that a place where the projection can come out?"
Indeed, the place where the shadow of the setting sun was formed just now is exactly at the center of the intersection of three streams of water. The white waves are surging and the water is rolling. It doesn't look like a place where the shadow of the setting sun can be formed, but I just saw the gleam of the setting sun on the water. There was a pause for ten seconds. That was not my imagination.
I put my hands behind my back and frowned: "No, there must be something I haven't figured out yet. Contact the local police department and I want to check the local records. I want to check all the local records in the three counties and ask them to give the information as soon as possible." I'll send it over, the more detailed it is, the better."
I think checking local chronicles is not without purpose. Sometimes, legends will leave clues in local chronicles.
What I didn't expect was that the local chronicles of the three counties could form a wall. I watched it all day and night, and finally fell asleep.
My mind was still filled with the contents of the local chronicles. Even if I took a nap, I didn't sleep well. I seemed to be able to vaguely hear Doudu and the others talking.
Doudu whispered: "Xunzi, do you think Huanzi seems to be a little bit evil? What can be found in this local chronicle?"
"Local chronicles are official things. Even if there are any local legends that are compiled into the local chronicles, they are abridged things. Some things will not be included at all. Especially the matter of strange powers and chaos, it is absolutely impossible It appears in local chronicles, so I think Huanzi found the wrong person this time."
Ye Xun also said: "Wang Huan's judgment should have his basis, but I think his method is not very reliable... If you ask me, it is better to go to the local elders and ask them if they have heard anything. Legend has it that it comes sooner."
"This is the truth..."
I heard Douduo’s voice getting smaller and smaller, and getting weirder and weirder. The final voice didn’t seem to be a human voice anymore. It sounded like a ghost.
I couldn't help but open my eyes and look in the direction of the two of them, only to see Ye Xun and Doudu sitting in front of the table with me on their backs. What's even more strange is that there was an oil lamp burning between the two of them. The yellow light only illuminated half of their faces...
