Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 774 Horse Whip
Because he mainly visited Quncha, Ji Xiaoxiao drove very slowly.

During the Spring Festival, Gu Qinglan had already consulted information and done enough research on the Wuhou Tomb. She knew everything about the surrounding mountains and terrain, including the traffic environment, etc.

So sitting in the car, Gu Qinglan pointed around and introduced Ding Ermiao:
"Zhuge Liang's tomb area is located in the mountains. It is surrounded by undulating hills and mountains and is surrounded by water. It is usually known as the Southern Shaanxi Natural Park. There are four mountains near the tomb, known as 'Qianshuanliang Mountain, Houbifeng Mountain', left Tutiling and Youwu hills closely protect the tomb of Marquis Wu.

There are so many pines and cypresses in the four mountains that they block out the sun. In the early years, when the scenic spot was not built, it would be difficult to find the location of Wuhou’s tomb.But when you turn around the desk beam, the terrain in front of you will suddenly become clear, and there is a unique scenery in front of you..."

Ding Ermiao listened fascinated and asked: "What kind of scenery will it be?"

Gu Qinglan gave it away and said: "This scenery may involve Feng Shui, and you, a great expert, need to see it in person."

Ding Ermiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the top of the mountain and have a look."

Ji Xiaoxiao turned the steering wheel, and under Gu Qinglan's guidance, drove the car along the winding mountain road to the top of the mountain of Shuganliang.

After getting out of the car, Ding Ermiao stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the Zhuge Wuhou Cemetery.

I saw the surrounding mountains, just divided into nine hills, like a tumbling and galloping dragon, winding and gathering from all directions to the cemetery, guarding the tomb of Marquis Wu in the green pines and cypresses.

"What a Feng Shui treasure land where Nine Dragons protect pearls!" Ding Ermiao sighed with emotion after looking at it for a long time.

"Sure enough, he is the great master of Maoshan. He can see the Feng Shui layout of this cemetery at a glance." Gu Qinglan smiled and said:
"It is said that this cemetery was selected by Zhuge Liang himself before his death. Later generations also saw the pattern of the nine dragons protecting the beads, so they called this tomb Feng Shui tactic the Nine Dragons Holding the Saint. Therefore, Zhuge Wuhou's tomb also has ' It has the reputation of "Zhuge Jiacheng and Dongtian Blessed Land".

Ding Ermiao nodded speechlessly. After Gu Qinglan finished speaking, he asked for a telescope from Gu Qinglan and looked at Zhuge Cemetery carefully.

Looking at it, Ding Ermiao's face showed a puzzled expression.

"Why, is there any other mystery to this layout?" Gu Qinglan asked.

Ding Ermiao put down the telescope, shook his head and said: "It's too far away, and there are trees blocking it, so we can't see it clearly. Let's wait until we enter the cemetery and take a look. In short... this tomb is a bit weird."

"Okay, let's take a look. Zhuge Liang was a strange man, and it's normal to have strange feng shui in his tomb." Gu Qinglan nodded.The three of them turned around and got in the car, returning to the cemetery gate.

After this tour, it was already past nine o'clock, and the gate of Wuhou Tomb Park had already been opened to officially receive tourists.

Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan bought tickets to enter the park and walked slowly.

During the Chinese New Year period, there were not many tourists in the cemetery, only a few and a few, sparse.This satisfied Ding Ermiao and others' wishes. There were only a few tourists so they could see it peacefully.

After entering the cemetery, I found that the cemetery occupies a vast area, boundless as far as the eye can see.

The ancient cypresses, Han osmanthus and osmanthus complement each other in the garden, which is quiet and simple. A tour guide explained that there are more than 40 ancient cypresses that are over a thousand years old, including two trees that have been handed down from the Han Dynasty to this day and are 2000 years old.

In the courtyard of the main hall, there are many poems praising Zhuge Liang and stone tablets with inscriptions on the restoration of the tomb and temple from past dynasties.Ding Ermiao and others briefly glanced at it and got a brief understanding.

In the spacious hall, a statue of Zhuge Liang, the wise star of the generation, sits on the altar.The feather fan and turban are solemn and lifelike.His majesty is without losing his wisdom, which makes people look up to him and respect him.

Next to the statue of Zhuge Liang are two statues of boys in green clothes aged fourteen or fifteen.One of the two boys is holding a sword, and the other is holding a big seal.

Under the boy's shoulders, there are two generals standing, wearing helmets and armor, majestic and heroic.

Among them, the black-faced general is Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide; the red-faced general is Guan Xing, the son of Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao each held an object in their hands.What Guan Xing is holding is the command arrow used by Zhuge Liang to issue orders when marching and fighting. It is about one foot long and not unusual at all.

But what Zhang Bao held in his hand surprised Ding Ermiao!
It was a whip, a soft whip.

As the saying goes, leading a horse and holding a whip, obviously, Zhang Bao's identity here is Zhuge Liang's horse leading general.But Zhuge Liang usually travels in a four-wheeled cart. Why does Zhang Bao need to lead the horse?
Last time Li Qingdong also made a rumor, saying that Zhuge Liang was the reincarnation of Sun Bin.Because Sun Bin was disabled and had the habit of riding a wheelchair and a car, Zhuge Liang still liked to ride a car in his life.

Moreover, the whip in Zhang Bao's hand is also different from the normal whip.

This whip was folded into three parts by Zhang Bao and held in his hand. The specific size could not be seen.But Ding Ermiao calculated based on the actual specifications of the statue that if the whip was fully unfolded, it should be about one foot from the handle to the tip of the whip.

A whip of this length is obviously too long.

And the handle of this whip is also very weird.The total length of the handle is about seven inches, with a bead inlaid at the front and back ends.The beads are about the size of a ping-pong ball. Because of the age, the original color of the bead is no longer visible, revealing the gray stone quality.

But the middle part of the handle of the riding whip was tightly held in Zhang Bao's hand, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.

Seeing Ding Ermiao staring at the whip in Zhang Bao's hand, Gu Qinglan and Ji Xiaoxiao looked over together.

After taking a look, Gu Qinglan and Ji Xiaoxiao also frowned.Both of them could see that the beads on the handle of the riding crop were almost the same size as the pair of iron gall bladders captured by Ding Ermiao.

"Er Miao, this bead seems to be about the same size as the iron gall in your hand." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

Ding Ermiao nodded and reached into his backpack, ready to take out the iron galls for comparison.But thinking that there were other tourists in the hall, Ding Ermiao held back.

"Go and take a look at the back. It seems that the tomb of Marquis Wu is behind the main hall." Ding Ermiao said.

After walking out of the main hall, he walked around for a few minutes and came to the back of the hall.I saw a huge tomb standing majestically in front of me, with miserable green grass on it.

The tomb looks like an overturned bucket, which is Zhuge Liang's tomb. It is about two feet high and covers an area the size of four or five houses. It is surrounded by white marble guardrails. Dozens of stories about Zhuge Liang's life are embossed on the stone guardrails.

In front of the tomb, there is a pavilion with four corners and a roof, which is called Qianfen Pavilion.The corners of the pavilion are high and surrounded by wooden railings. A plaque with the words "Double Gui Liufang" hangs high inside the pavilion.

After walking around the tomb, Ding Ermiao cast his eyes on a pool on the west side of the tomb, feeling something strange in his heart.

The size of the pool is about the same as that of the tomb, and they are very close to each other, only four or five feet away.

"Is this pool special?" Gu Qinglan asked in a low voice.
