Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 315: Qiu Ru
Gu Qinglan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it tonight."

Ding Ermiao felt that Gu Qinglan's smile was interesting, so she asked, "Let's talk about it tonight, what do you mean?"

"As far as I know, in Lingqu Square, no one is allowed to stay after eight o'clock in the evening, except for the security guards working inside. Even merchants are not allowed to stay in the store at night." Gu Qinglan said.

This ghost place is haunted every three days. Even if the merchants were allowed to stay here at night, no one would dare to stay here.

"So heavily guarded?" Ding Ermiao asked curiously: "Then the last time you sensed zombies underground, was it during the day or at night?"

Gu Qinglan nodded: "In the evening, before the market closes. I wanted to come in and check it out at night, but there are security patrols at the four gates of the square. They are as solid as gold and can be penetrated seamlessly."

Ding Ermiao was silent and followed Gu Qinglan, walking along Water Street towards the direction of Lingqu.This square is so evil, it seems that I can't just sit back and watch.As a disciple of Maoshan, it is also our duty to exorcise evil spirits.

But since there is an altar in the square, and Lao Du also said that there is an eight-coffin formation to suppress evil, if you want to fully understand it, you must also check the surrounding environment of the square.That's why Ding Ermiao decided to go to Lingqu Canal to have a look.

From Water Street to Lingqu, Erli Duo Road.Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan were walking and talking, just like a couple in love.

When we arrived at Lingqu, we entered Lingqu Park along the dam.After a stroll, I saw the Temple of the Four Sages, the Ancient Tree Tun Tablet, the Tomb of the Three Generals and other scenic spots. After crossing the Zhuangyuan Bridge, I found a large stone standing abruptly beside the Qin Embankment.

The stone is about two meters high and more than 20 meters in diameter. From a distance, it looks like a small rockery.The shape is like a crouching tiger, with a majestic appearance and angry eyes, staring at the edge of the canal, giving people a majestic and mysterious feeling.

When I got closer, I discovered that there were steps on the stone that could be climbed up.

"This is the Lingqu Feilai Stone. It is very famous." Gu Qinglan pointed at the stone and said.

Ding Ermiao nodded slightly, walked around the stone, and looked at the big stone.The stone is nearly three meters above the ground and covers an area about the size of a bungalow.Surrounded by green trees, red flowers and green bamboos.

Climbing the steps to the top, I found a four-season osmanthus tree planted in the crevices of the rocks above.

Walking down from the stone, Ding Ermiao carefully looked at the inscriptions around the stone, also called cliff carvings.

Feilai Stone is not big, but there are many stone carvings on it.To the east is "Tongzhu Xin'an Marrying Diji" written by Yan Zhenzhi, the censor in the 29th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. It is a large stone carving that records the use of materials for the repair of Ling Canal at that time.

On the west side, there are two large characters, which are the handwriting of a calligrapher from the Qing Dynasty: Lingqu.

Next to these two large characters, there are three slightly smaller characters "Feilaishi".

Next to "Feilaishi", there are three big characters, which say "Dianzhushi", which was written by an official of the Ming Dynasty.

But on the side facing the canal, there is a puzzling stone carving with the word "Qiuru" written on it, and the name of the person who signed it is also very strange, a person from the capital.

"Qiuru? People from the capital...? What does this mean?" Ding Ermiao frowned and muttered to himself.

Gu Qinglan was taking pictures. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Why are you starting to chew on words? Do you want to be an old scholar?"

Ding Ermiao was about to speak when he saw a beautiful tour guide sister walking over with a group of tourists.

The tour guide girl pointed at the flying stone, opened her red lips and talked non-stop:

"It is said that in the Qin Dynasty, there were three famous stonemasons, Zhang Shijiang, Liu Shijiang and Li Shijiang. They were brothers and their craftsmanship was the best among them. When Qin Shihuang built Ling Canal, the three of them were requisitioned together. to the troops building the Qin Embankment. The senior brother was named General Zhang by Shi Lu, the person in charge of building the Ling Canal, and shouldered the responsibility of building the Qin Embankment.

With the assistance of his two junior brothers, General Zhang successfully solved difficult projects such as building dams, draining floods, and building steep slopes after many years of efforts by the embankment construction troops.But the Qin embankment that was built collapsed as soon as it was repaired.

According to the laws of the Qin Army at that time, anyone who delayed the construction period would be beheaded, so Zhang Shijiang was punished by military law.Later, Shi Lu appointed his second senior brother Liu Shijiang as General Liu and continued to build Qin Embankment.But after a long period of hard work, it suddenly collapsed again on the second day after the Qin embankment was built.The second senior brother Liu Shijiang was also beheaded.

The third junior brother, Li Shijiang, began to take over the construction work of Qin Di.At this time, a wandering immortal from the south came.The gods said that there was a pig dragon spirit at the foot of Santai Ridge where the Qin embankment was built. The first two canal and dam collapses were all caused by the pig dragon spirit.

Li Shijiang hurriedly asked for a plan.The old fairy asked Li Shijiang to continue the construction, and he had his own way.When Li Shijiang built the Qin dike again, sure enough, the pig dragon spirit came to cause trouble again.The old god was furious and moved a huge stone from Mount Emei to suppress the pig dragon. From then on, Qin Di was safe and sound.

That huge stone is the flying stone we see now. "

The tour guide girl was very articulate and told this story vividly.The tourists around were all sighing and lamenting.

Ding Ermiao rolled his eyes, mixed in the group of tourists, and asked the tour guide: "Sister tour guide, what does the word 'Qiuru' on the flying stone mean?"

The tour guide glanced at Ding Ermiao and knew that this was not her client.

But in order to show her self-cultivation, the tour guide still gave an answer: "These are two very controversial words. Our local scholars and professors all say that 'Qiu' means dragon; 'Ru' means come, come The meaning of these two words together means that the ancestor dragon Qin Shihuang once came here..."

"Then what does the signature below mean?" Ding Ermiao asked shamelessly and continued to pester.

The tour guide's face changed slightly, and she rolled her eyes and said, "That's a name of a famous person." After that, she ignored Ding Ermiao and led her team back to the front.

Sister, doesn’t this mean you didn’t say anything?Looking at the back of the tour guide, Ding Ermiao cursed in his heart.

Gu Qinglan chuckled and said: "The surname is Du, a famous person. What the tour guide said is absolutely right."

Ding Ermiao rubbed her nose and asked Gu Qinglan, "Do you think this explanation of the word Qiuru is correct?"

"I'm not an expert or professor..." Gu Qinglan shrugged.

"Qiuru, Qiuru..." Ding Ermiao muttered as he climbed onto the flying stone again, stood on tiptoes, and looked at the surrounding terrain.

All of a sudden, he jumped up and fell down from the flying stone more than two meters high, startling Gu Qinglan.

"What's wrong with you? Are you trying to show off your skills? Are you afraid that others won't know that you can do somersaults?" Gu Qinglan asked.

But Ding Ermiao shouted excitedly and said: "I understand! I understand what these two words mean, and I also understand what the evil dragon that Lao Du said and the pig dragon spirit that the tour guide girl just mentioned are about. It’s over!”
