Jiemen County is next to the lower reaches of the Xuanhe River, but the evil hole Jiang Yihong mentioned is in the Xuanhe River!
The first thing I drew was two horizontal lines, which showed the entire hanging river.
There is a mountain in the river, and it is like a groove cut into it. The reason why I didn't understand it at first was because I felt that these two sentences described two different things, and I felt that the top and bottom of them were not connected.
But now that I saw it as a whole, I sketched in the simple river and drew half of the mountain.
And I drew a downward depression in the center of the mountain, making the mountain look like a stone trough!
Immediately afterwards, I drew a stream of water above the stone trough.
The water flowed vertically down, as if it came from the sky, and all rushed into the stone trough!
The next moment, I drew the overflowing water at the foot of the mountain.
This water flow almost submerged the entire foot of the mountain...
This picture seems to be very unfounded. How could water flow from the sky?
But there are other variables.
I drew two horizontal lines in front of the mountain and above the water flow, which means there is a section of river above the hanging river.
The top-down water is the higher river flowing down, washing the mountains below. Over the years, the water drips through the rocks, and forcibly washes the mountains into a sunken stone trough...
The water flows back together to form a river downstream, and then flows into the distance...
After simply sketching the lines, I then carefully refined the entire painting.
After a while, a sketch appeared on the paper.
A waterfall formed by the main stream of the hanging river washed down, fell to the stone trough formed by the mountain below, and then converged into a river, rushing out!
After I put down the pen, my chest was pounding, my throat was rolling, and I had a strong desire in my heart, eager to find out immediately whether this place really existed.
If it is similar to my judgment, I already know where the murderous corpse is!
Driven by this strong desire, I can't even feel the fatigue. This is completely a morbid impulse.
I spent a lot of effort to suppress my desire to go out and ask people for help. I put away the Tiangan inkstone and the Dizhu pen, and carefully placed the Feng Shui diagram on the bedside.
The room I live in has a screen, and there is a bathing area behind the screen.
I went to the yard to get two buckets of water, and then I went back to the room and cleaned it briefly to remove the dirt from sleeping in the open for days. I felt much more relaxed.
Finally I got into bed and forced myself to sleep.
At first I couldn't fall asleep, my mind was filled with all the images imagined by the Feng Shui bureau, but then I felt really sleepy and finally fell asleep.
However, I didn’t sleep very long. When I woke up the next day, it was still dark...
I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time. The hands were pointing at five o'clock.
Although I slept less today, my head is much clearer.
I hurriedly picked up the Feng Shui diagram on the bedside, folded it and put it in my pocket, then pushed the door open and walked out.
What shocked me was that Liu Tianniu and Liu Huayan had woken up early...
A table was set up in the courtyard, and Liu Huayan was putting some food on it.
Liu Tianniu stood in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, as if he was meditating.
Liu Huayan looked up and looked at me with an obviously surprised expression.
I originally thought so, and now I will go outside to find someone to inquire.
Now that they were all here, it was definitely impossible for me to go out alone.
Taking a deep breath, I approached Liu Huayan, took out the Feng Shui chart and handed it to her.
Liu Huayan's expression suddenly became more solemn. She wiped her hands before taking the drawing.
After opening it and looking at it, Liu Huayan hurriedly came to Liu Tianniu's side.
Liu Tianniu lowered his head and glanced down, then said in a deep voice: "Go and ask a local to see if there is such a place."
Without saying a word, Liu Huayan raised her legs and walked towards the outside of the hospital.
She didn't wait for me, so I couldn't follow her...
I was also hungry, so I sat down at the table, put away the food that Liu Huayan had not put away, and called Liu Tianniu again to signal him to eat.
I didn't call He Pheasant. I finally had a chance to rest, so I asked her to rest for a while.
Liu Huayan bought a lot of food, including fried dough sticks, deep-fried fried dough sticks, fried dough cakes, and even some fried meat. After eating one meal, I felt a slight sweat on my forehead.
After filling my stomach, the sky became brighter.
Liu Tianniu was still standing quietly in the courtyard, seemingly resting his mind.
But I was a little restless. I kept holding a pocket watch in my hand, counting the time...
It was almost seven o'clock, and someone finally came back outside the hospital.
Behind Liu Huayan was a man wearing cloth clothes and a hat with several strips of cloth wrapped around his head.
The man put his hands in his sleeves, slouched his shoulders slightly, stretched his head out, opened his eyes wide, and looked around.
There is a lot of dirt on the yellowed skin, and there are two clusters of blush on the cheeks that have been blown by the wind all year round.
This place has a lot of loess and a lot of wind and sand, so much so that people's appearance is greatly affected.
Liu Huayan's eyes were filled with joy.
"Master, the place where Mr. Li painted has been found!" A clear voice came at the same time as Liu Huayan and the two entered the hospital!
I clenched my fist hard and my forearm trembled twice.
For me, this Feng Shui bureau is entirely based on what I learned from the house classics and was deduced by referring to what Jiang Yihong told Liu Tianniu!
It's very possible that my deduction is wrong and inaccurate!
But now I’ve found it! That means my deduction is correct! This also gave me great confidence!
Liu Tianniu's eyes suddenly opened, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
The two of them came close to Liu Tianniu and me.
Liu Huayan looked at me with a hint of admiration.
"Where?" I took a deep breath and asked, trying to calm my mind.
Liu Huayan turned her attention to the man who came with her.
"I asked a lot of people, and many people in this place know that there is a hanging river basin fifteen miles outside the city. There is a pass there, and the water of the hanging river washes from top to bottom, and then goes downstream!"
"The town close to that place is Xuanhu Town. This farmer, Brother Zhang Quan, happens to be from Xuanhu Town."
"I paid a sum of money to find someone to take us to Xuanhu Town. He happened to hear it and said he could take us there." Zhang Quan raised his head slightly, glanced at me with his eyes, and suddenly said: "It doesn't look like what you painted. If it weren't for the hanging spout coming from our place, no one else would know about it."
I scratched my head in embarrassment, but he didn't dispel my confidence.
I definitely can't draw it in detail, but as long as my inference is correct, I can easily find the direction when I get to the place!
"You just need to take us somewhere." I answered.
Zhang Quan nodded quickly. He held his hands, but his eyes fell on Liu Tianniu, and asked tentatively: "Is he a Taoist priest? Is he a capable Taoist priest?"
My heart trembled, and I made some guesses.
Liu Tianniu suddenly said: "Who are you looking for?"
