While I was thinking wildly, Wu Blind had already changed into a clean Taoist robe, carrying his Seven-Star Sword hanging on the wall on his back, and carrying a large copper gourd in his hand. Just by looking at the size of the gourd, you can tell that it is heavy. If it were filled with water, it would weigh about ten or twenty kilograms. However, Wu Blindman carried the thing in his hand as if he were carrying a feather. He didn't take it seriously at all, and even He kept urging us to leave quickly.
After I got in the car, I asked tentatively: "Uncle, didn't you say there was a mountain whip before? Does that thing really exist?"
Wu blindly said: "The map of the mountains and rivers is there, how can the mountain whip be not there? However, I don't know whether the mountain whip is useful or not."
Wu blindly stretched out his hand and patted himself: "I have the mountain whip on my body. When the master passed down the mountain whip, he left an ancestral precept. Don't use the mountain whip until you see the mountain and rivers. It is said that these two treasures | Shells are things that complement each other and are mutually reinforcing. When one thing comes out, the other can move. But it's just a mountain whip... "
Wu blindly paused and said: "Even our ancestor doesn't know whether the mountain whip is real or fake! Our ancestor said: He has always suspected that the mountain whip is used to beat people, not stones. We There is a method of tying ropes left in the masters. It is said that it was left by the craftsmen who built the Great Wall and the Tomb of Emperor Qin. Using that method to tie the rope to the stone can save a lot of effort when pulling it up. Mountain Whip It’s the whip that builders use to whip slaves and make them pull rocks faster.”
Wu Blind Eye's explanation is closer to reality, and is also very close to the myth of whip marks left on rocks. From this, it seems that the marks left on the rocks are not whip marks but rope marks. This is consistent with the situation of slaves transporting rocks in the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
Wu Blind said again: "There is also a saying that the Mountain Whip is specially used to restrain the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map, and can disperse the mountains and rivers spirit in the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map. I don't think this statement is very reliable. Who knows, what is really going on? You will know it when you see the map of mountains and rivers."
As I nodded slightly, Ling'er also said, "Uncle. What sect are you from? Dragon Vein Heavenly Master, or Dragon Slaying Warlock?"
"It should be a dragon-slaying warlock, right?" Wu blindly said, "I don't know either. I guess even the master himself can't tell clearly."
I don't doubt Wu Blind's words. There are many sects that have lost their inheritance. It is not uncommon for 10% of the secret method to be passed down for several generations and only 10% or 20% is left. It is also common for sects to have only one mouth left after it is passed down. someone here. Moreover, dragon-slaying sorcerers have become taboo since the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang not only dug out the dragon's veins, but also slaughtered all the dragon-slaying sorcerers. Even if the dragon-slaying sorcerer still has a legacy, it is impossible to show it to the public. The possibility of losing the legacy over time is very high.
Ling'er smiled and said: "Uncle, you just said you were fooled by Uncle Zhan again. Uncle Zhan, he..."
Blind Wu laughed loudly and said, "Are you protecting Huanzi? This is what a daughter-in-law has to do. She has to protect her man at all times."
Ling'er's face turned red when Wu Blind said it, but Wu Blind didn't take it seriously: "Huanzi, do you believe in fate?"
Before I could answer, Wu Blind said: "I believe it. I not only believe in fate, but I also believe that people's fate can be calculated. Just like King Wen of Zhou, can't he understand the mysteries with just one hexagram? That old guy Wang Zhan can do this. , everything can be calculated.”
Blind Wu laughed and said: "Wang Zhan is not like me. I can't hide things in my heart. If someone asks, I can tell you. Wang Zhan is different, he can hold it in. If you want to pick something out of his mouth, It's harder than letting the dead speak. However, no matter what Wang Zhan does, it's as if he has planned it in advance. Whatever he does, it goes well. Some people, some things, and some things seem to be waiting for him in advance. Just the same, you can get things done if you go there. So, I said he set a trap for me back then."
Wu Blind Eye suddenly sighed and said: "Girl Ling! You are right, Wang Zhan made a bet with me to save me. To put it bluntly, Mr. Feng Shui is helping people change their luck and destiny. If you change other people's lives, then It ruined my own life. God is still very fair. I am not like Wang Zhan. I do what I should do and don’t even look at the things I shouldn’t do. After being fooled by someone, my head turned upside down. When you are hot, it is easy to make plans for others. This character will die sooner or later due to Feng Shui."
"My master, he thought of a trick for me before. He asked me to learn the art of mending antiques well. In the future, I can only live by mending antiques, and never mention Feng Shui. Hehe..." Wu Blind said with an embarrassed smile: "But I can't hold it in. Don’t stop it! People still know what comes and goes. Isn’t that what it is?”
Wu Blind's expression was impeccable when he spoke, and he couldn't tell any signs of lying. But I always felt that Wu Blind was hiding something, so I hesitated for a moment before asking: "Uncle, what does my dad do?"
"What does your dad do? You don't know?" Wu Blind blinked and looked at me for a while: "Has he done anything else besides selling antiques?"
Wu Blindly slowed down for a moment, he was hiding something from me. If I ask him now, he may not be willing to say it. I have to find opportunities to test it slowly.
I glanced at Ling'er, who chatted with Wu Blindly understandingly, but never mentioned anything about my dad and the Dragon Vein Heavenly Master: "Uncle, we got news that the tomb of the real dragon is in Yunmengze. , where is Yunmengze?"
Wu Blind closed his eyes and thought for a long time: "Yunmengze is gone a long time ago. Yunmengze is really a good place to raise dragons."
As far as I know, Yunmengze should be the general name of the ancient lake group of the Chu State in the pre-Qin era, which is now the Jianghan Plain. It is also said that Yunze and Mengze are the intersection of Jianghan Plain and Dongting Lake Plain, and are divided into two places with the Yangtze River as the boundary. According to "Han Yang Zhi", "Yunze is to the north of the river, and Meng is to the south of the river." Together. Collectively called Yunmeng. But no matter which theory the result is, Yunmengze has begun to shrink significantly in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, until all Yunmengze disappeared in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Yunmengze has become a mythical place name.
There are countless legends about Yunmengze, which not only hide the rare birds and animals in myths, but also the great masters who lived in seclusion in Yunmengze in the pre-Qin Dynasty. It is said that Tian Ji once lived in seclusion in Yunmengze. There is also a legend that after the Mohist family was divided into three, one of the schools, "Chu Mo", escaped into Yunmengze and never came out. However, there is no detailed record of Yunmengze in any historical materials or scripture annotations, let alone a map of Yunmengze.
If we want to find Yunmengze thousands of years ago, we will undoubtedly want to rediscover the vicissitudes of life!
But how could Wu Blind Eye say that Yunmengze is a place where dragons are raised
Blind Wu paid no attention to the confusion on my face, and continued: "Thousands of years ago, the dreamy clouds covered thousands of miles, dragons soared and dragons lurked, and various strange beasts wandered around. Countless great masters rushed to retreat. However, as time goes by, the Yangtze River At the same time that the Han River floods entered Yunmengze, a large amount of sediment carried by the river was also brought to Yunmengze. As the flow rate of the water slowed down, the sediment also accumulated. Small shoals were first silted out, and then large shoals were gradually silted out. Although the area of Yunmengze at that time was reduced, it was still a myth and a forbidden land. At that time, no one knew what secrets were hidden in Yunmengze. After the Warring States Period, people staged a battle in Yunmengze where man could defeat nature. An eternal legend.”
After Wu Blind took a deep breath, he said one after another: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people have begun to gradually cultivate and develop Yunmengze. During the Yonghe Period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people began to build embankments to protect the reclaimed land from being flooded. By the Southern Dynasties period, The increasing number of beach reclamations has reduced the water surface area of Yunmengze by nearly half, forcing the water level in the Jingjiang River section to rise."
"In the eighth year of Qingli in the Song Dynasty and in the fifth year of Mingchang in the Jin Dynasty, the Yellow River burst twice, forcing a large number of people to move southward. During this period, Yunmengze, which was divided into rivers and lakes, no longer existed, and was replaced by a large continent. Beaches and dotted Jianghan Lakes.”
"At that time, people built dikes in sections on the north bank of the Jingjiang River, forming the prototype of today's Jingjiang and Jingjiang embankments. At that time, there were nine holes and 13 holes on both sides of the Jingjiang River to divert the floods of the Jingjiang River. 'There were five holes and six holes on the north bank, and four holes and seven holes on the south bank. ’, while the nine holes and thirteen mouths are diverting the flood, a large amount of sediment has blocked the nine holes and thirteen mouths, and the diversion effect is getting smaller and smaller."
"Under the prerequisite that the distributary river channel was blocked, people blocked and built embankments at the 13 openings of the nine caves, thereby expanding the area of cultivated land. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the last 'Hao cave' on the north bank was blocked, thus forming a continuous The line of Jingjiang levees also formed a single Jingjiang river channel and the vast and prosperous Jianghan Plain, and Yunmengze was completely destroyed."
Wu Blind Eyes suddenly stopped when he said this: "When our ancestors once formed nine holes and thirteen holes in Yunmengze, they studied Feng Shui and discovered that the core of Yunmengze was actually a place to raise dragons. At that time, there were nine holes and thirteen holes in Yunmengze. It’s called flood relief, but it’s actually to slay the dragon.”
I frowned slightly and said, "Were there any real dragons in Yunmengze at that time?"
Wu blindly shook his head and said: "The ancestors of our sect are not sure whether there are real dragons there, but one thing is certain. The local residents continue to reclaim Yunmengze, which is somewhat of a reclamation to trap the dragon. Yunmengze is completely If it dies, the big dragon living in Yunmeng Ze will no longer be able to make trouble."
I said in a deep voice: "You mean, Yun Mengze's disappearance was driven by a Feng Shui sorcerer?"
"Definitely!" Wu blindly nodded and said: "Continuously blocking rivers and filling lakes to create farmland is not a project that can be completed simply by the number of people. Some of the places must be accurately calculated. Otherwise, it will lead to the destruction of embankments and the death of people. You have to You know, ancient water conservancy projects are often closely related to Feng Shui, and the planners of some water conservancy projects are simply Feng Shui masters."
What Wu Blind said is not a conjecture. The ancients believed more in luck. Although ancient officials did not know Feng Shui, they may not have Feng Shui masters among their staff. This is a bad habit in ancient official circles and is also the prototype of a certain legend.
