Whether it is a mark or appears on the real thing, the sudden appearance of the Pisces ring made Lin Hainan, Feng Jianfei, Xu Jin and Youmi fall into memories.

That night, no one slept peacefully.

Lin Hainan was lying on the bed, his arm covering his eyes, and he did not fall asleep. He kept rummaging through his memories, and Lin Hainan was sure that he definitely had an impression about the Pisces Ring.

In a daze, Lin Hainan saw a small temple.

Red wall skin, red flying eaves, red gates. A small temple with bright colors in the sun.

Wang Xiuzhu carried a basket of tributes in his right hand and seven-year-old Lin Hainan in his left hand.

"Come, Xiao Nan, watch out for the threshold. ”

The little Lin Hainan crossed the threshold, followed his mother closely, and entered the small temple.

The small temple was very clean, there was not much incense, Lin Hainan saw his mother put the tribute on the table, there was a chicken, a duck, biscuits, and fruits. Xiaolin Hainan thought of the salty duck legs, and his saliva was about to flow out.

After Wang Xiuzhu placed the tribute, he first took out three incense sticks and lit them, and recited words to the statues enshrined in the temple. Xiao Lin Hainan looked up at his mother's gaze at this time, and even took a step back and stood on tiptoe.

The statue of the god enshrined in the small temple is not big, one and a half meters high, it is a figure with a human body and a fishtail, male and female, long hair, deep facial features, and lowered eyes, as if looking down on everyone with pity, but in Lin Hainan's opinion, the bottom of the eyes seems to have a deep cold light.

"Come, Hainan, and say goodbye to my mother. Wang Xiuzhu inserted incense, lit three more incense sticks, stood behind Lin Hainan, squatted down and wrapped Xiaolin Hainan's hand with his own hand, and took Xiaolin Hainan to pray, Xiaolin Hainan quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes, no longer looking at the statue of the god enshrined. Xiaolin Hainan heard her mother Wang Xiuzhu chanting words: "Bless our Lin family." Bless us Lin Feng. Bless us Hainan ......"

Leaving the small temple, Xiaolin Hainan asked her mother: "Mom, is that a mermaid?"

"Huh?" Wang Xiuzhu looked at his son, "No, you can't talk nonsense." That's not a mermaid, it's a Wa statue. ”

Lin Hainan opened his eyes suddenly.

Wa people.

Yes, Lin Hainan remembered that the so-called double fish ring was not a fish, but a Wa person.

The small temple in my memory is the Nuwa Temple in G County, my mother Wang Xiuzhu's hometown, when I was very young, Lin Hainan followed my mother back to G County and made incense at the Nuwa Temple.

In my memory, it is my mother's hometown, and there is such a legend.

There is a big family in the village, and the lord of the family is a big official, and the family is very wealthy. The official has a pair of children in his family, the daughter has a gentle temperament and is generous, and the son is dignified and talented. The official master is also very kind in his heart, and often helps the villagers, and the villagers in the village like this official very much. The official often said: "God has given me so much, it is God who favors me, and I must do more good deeds." "But one day, a pair of good sons and daughters of the official man disappeared. The official man searched everywhere, and the whole village also went out to help find it, but he couldn't find anything. A month has passed, and everyone thinks that the children of the official master will not come back, and the official master is also desperate, heartbroken, unable to eat every day, and his body is losing weight day by day.

Half a year later, there was a heavy rainstorm in the village, which did not stop for three days and three nights, and the village was already flooded, and if the rain continued like this, the river would soon break through the embankment and the villages downstream of the river would be washed away. The villagers were scared and kept praying that the rain would stop. Maybe it's unity, maybe it's sincerity, God heard the prayers of the villagers, and a miracle happened. A hole suddenly opened in the sky, and two gods, a man and a woman, appeared. The villagers looked at it, weren't they the sons and daughters of the official?

When the official man heard the news, he rushed to see that the god who was casting the spell did indeed look exactly like his own children, and he immediately burst into tears. The god cast a spell, the rain stopped, the sky was blue, and the village finally saw the sun that he had not seen for a long time. For a time, everyone knelt down to worship the gods and the officials. The official just looked at his child with teary eyes.

"Children, where have you all gone? Isn't this a dream? The official man cried and trembled, and the people around him hurriedly supported the weak official master.

"Father," the god-man looked at each other, "we have gone to another world. We are Wa people, and now we will not grow old or get sick. The gods were transformed into serpents. The villagers hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "immortals".

"Father, we're here to take you away. ”

The official lord nodded with tears in his eyes, and the gods waved their big hands, and disappeared with the official lord and the rest of the family, and the mansion of the official lord also became an empty house. The villagers all said that it was because the official did more good deeds and had great blessings, so he was promoted. In order to commemorate and thank the official family, the villagers made the appearance of the official master's children into a statue of Wa, changed the mansion of the official master into a small temple, and offered incense from generation to generation until today.

"So, have they all become immortals?" Xiao Lin Hainan asked his mother Wang Xiuzhu after listening to the story, but Wang Xiuzhu smiled and touched Xiao Lin Hainan's head:

"It's not. They're on their way to another world. ”

Wang Xiuzhu pointed to a sign on the temple gate, "This is the sign left by the Wa people." If you follow this sign, you will be able to go to another world. Hainan, remember this sign. ”

This is all the memories of the Pisces ring in the depths of Lin Hainan's memory.

Lin Hainan turned over and sat up, supported his forehead, and closed his eyes. Motionless as if in contemplation, after a while, the alarm clock rang, Lin Hainan turned off the alarm clock, lay on his back on the bed, the light entered the room through the curtains that were not tightly drawn, and fell on Lin Hainan's face, a little dazzling. Lin Hainan covered his face with his hand and let out a tired sigh.

The night passed.

Feng Jianfei had no sleep all night and got in touch with Yijing Bookstore on the other side of the ocean. Hanging up the phone, Feng Jianfei thought for a long time, and then called Feng's family in Beijing.

Yumi slept very unsteadily, one dream after another, and the light was strange.

Xu Jin spent the whole night repairing the data, sorting out the data, analyzing the data, and when the light of the early morning shone into the room through the curtains, Xu Jin was tired and lay down in front of the computer and closed his eyes. Thinking about getting up after a nap and bringing Yumi a list of breakfasts.

Lin Hainan took a piece of paper, began to sort out various clues, and wrote on the paper:

"The Beginning: Father's Notes

The father is missing

Forbidden City: Cheng Pengju, Feng Qianshan, Feng Jianfei, Youmi, Xu Jin

Oriental artifacts: Xigu auction, Liu Haihua, Shata, cultural relics supply

Interstellar Development Group: Cultural Heritage Restoration Competition

Pisces Ring"

There are other bits and pieces that don't have a clue: Tony Gira, Four Civilizations, Number 16

After thinking about the paper, Lin Hainan crossed out the beginning line and rewrote:

Beginnings: Sahara Desert Oasis.

For three hours, the Forbidden City team gathered in Lin Hainan's room.

"How's your body?" asked Yumi.

Yumi grinned and said, "Full blood resurrection." But I'm disfigured!"

"Hahahaha. Feng Jianfei smiled cooperatively, causing Yumi to fight back.

Xu Jin went out to buy breakfast, and then he came in, put down breakfast, and beckoned everyone to eat.

"Next, we have to go for the top three in the race. "Lin Hai South Road.

The other three nodded, and Lin Hainan continued: "In the next game, you have to pay attention to the situation of other players, especially Tony Gira. At the same time, everyone must be careful, Liu Haihua said that Shata is around us. ”

"I'm wondering, does this sentence also mean that Shata is also one of the contestants?" Feng Jianfei drank a carton of milk and threw the box into the trash.

"Quite possibly. Yumi went back and analyzed the information of the participants. ”

"Yes!"

"How are the pieces of data that were corrupted yesterday repaired, can they be repaired?"

"No problem, it's been fixed. The appearance and interior of the Imperial Island, the warehouses, the studio on the first floor, the floor plan of the Imperial Island, etc., have been packed and compressed overnight and sent back to Beijing. Xu Jin said.

"Good. Lin Hainan nodded in affirmation, "Jianfei, is there any progress on your side?"

Feng Jianfei put down the bread in his hand and picked the corners of his mouth, "It's good news." Learned a little bit about the linden tree and Tony Gira. ”

Lin Hainan, Youmi, and Xu Jin all looked at Feng Jianfei seriously. Feng Jianfei sent the information he got to everyone's WeChat group.

"An old restorer in our palace found a little record of the Bodhi tree in an ancient book, there is not much information, but it is better than nothing. ”

The Bodhi Tree is an ancient sacred tree, which was formed by the death of the ancient gods, just like the body of Kuafu became a mountain and a river, and the consciousness of the dead gods is still retained in the sacred tree, and if people feel lost and ask questions, the sacred tree will give an answer.

"Ah, why is this such a Western myth?" Yumi wondered.

"Indeed, and this is a tree, right?Natural science?Explore the world?How to repair it?" Xu Jin also felt unreasonable.

Feng Jianfei spread out his hand, saying that the information was like this, and he didn't know either.

Lin Hainan frowned and thought for a while, "In ancient Chinese legends, there are indeed very few stories about trees. However, in many murals, such images still appear, and they are indeed biased towards the objects of worship. It is very likely that this image will be concretized, that is, if you encounter an artifact about the Bodhi tree in the competition, it will not be a tree, it should be something concrete, with the image of a sacred tree. ”

But we will only have to wait until we see how it will be.

"As for the Tani Jira, the information is very comprehensive, it is the Buddha Venerable of India, known as the 'Thousand Miles Head Toda Nijira'. is a holographic restorer. His results are detailed in the material.

However, Li Jianshu gave the latest information, last month, about half a month before we received the invitation letter from the Interstellar Development Group for the cultural relics restoration competition, Tonigira had been practicing in the temple in his hometown for three months, but he suddenly left the temple without telling his family, and went to the Sahara Desert alone. At that time, it was about to enter the typhoon season, but Tonigila insisted on entering the Sahara, and the locals were very impressed with him. I don't know what happened after that. That's where we met him. ”

Feng Jianfei sent another picture to the group, it was a team, sorting out equipment, there were more than 20 people, and there were many races, "This is Li Jianshu said that there was a huge team that entered the Sahara at that time. Look," Feng Jianfei clicked on the big picture, kept enlarging the picture, and took screenshots in the corners of the picture and posted it to the group.

--The enlarged image is blurry, but recognizable, of a man wrapped in a large scarf.

"You see, this is Shata. ”
