It is a palace-like place, tall and majestic. Numerous round and stout pillars stand on all sides, and the pillars are carved with a variety of exquisite patterns. Overhead is a large circular sculpture with a dot in the center, surrounded by undulating waves, like ripples caused by a stone thrown down on a calm lake. Directly below the dot is the center of the palace, where stands a huge statue, a woman as beautiful as a fairy, with a moving face and smooth skin, which makes people think about it at a glance. It's just that the fly in the ointment is that this beautiful fairy is missing an eyeball.

In front of the fairy were circles of ditches, round and round on top of each other, and the upper circles became smaller and smaller, and the top layer was only the size of a plate. The inside of these circular ditches is extremely smooth, as if formed by a long period of running water. Now there is only a few layers of water left and a small amount of water is flowing, and the higher you go, the less water there is, and it is almost dry.

On the lowest floor, however, there are two circles of ditches, and strangely only the inner circle has a small amount of water flowing, and there is no water in the outer circle, and there is no trace of being washed by the flowing water. The inner circle of ditches opened a direct opening, and the opening extended to the position of the hole, and the small water flowed forward along this opening to the small river outside.

"So the trickle came out of here! The water in the river comes from here! Xu Shun pointed to the disc in the middle and said.

"Do you think it's so cold in here?" Tian Tian asked.

"yes, it's really cold." Xu Shun also said.

Everyone felt it, and the place was filled with an invisible chill. They all couldn't help but wrap their coats tightly.

"Come and see here!" Tian Tian wandered to the sides of the palace.

There are several stone tables on both sides, and there are books and pen and paper on the stone tables, but they look a little messy, and the teapots and cups for drinking tea are scattered on the ground, staggering.

"Look at these things, there should be people living here." Tian Tian said.

"It should be something left behind by a living Buddha who used to be in retreat." Xu Shun said.

"But why do these things look so messy, you see, there are so many little stones scattered on the ground." Tian Tian pointed to the small stones scattered on the ground and said.

Xu Shun squatted down and picked up a stone.

"These don't seem to be ordinary stones." Xu Shun looked at the stone in his hand and said, "It feels like jade." ”

The stones are crystal clear and shiny, and they feel cold and silky to the touch.

Tian Tian hurriedly squatted down and picked one up.

"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary stone." She looked at the stone in her hand and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, as if Tian Tian had discovered something, she quickly picked up the second and third ones......

"Strange, there seem to be words on these stones." Tian Tian said.

Xu Shun hurriedly looked at the stones in his hand, and then he picked up a few more stones and put them in the palm of his hand.

"There's something on it, but it doesn't seem to be a word, it's more like a number!" Xu Shun carefully observed the stone in his hand and said.

"It's a bit like, you see, this one looks like 9, this one looks like 5, and this one, like 47......" Tian Tian picked up well

The stones looked and looked.

"Strange, where did these stones come from? What's the deal with these numbers? Xu Shun was puzzled.

"Look at the tea sets scattered on the ground, it shouldn't be that someone deliberately messed up on the ground, but it looks like it was accidentally shaken down, and those books and paper and pencils, staggered, if someone put them neatly, it won't be so messy. Of course, it is impossible for these stones to be deliberately scattered here. It was supposed to have been dropped accidentally. Tian Tian said.

"Could it be that these stones were also shaken down by violent shocks?" Wang Feng asked.

"Possibly, like these tea sets." Tian Tian said seriously.

"Is it an earthquake?" Wang Feng suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized, "Why didn't we think of it, it must be an earthquake, and the earthquake caused violent shaking, so this place has become like this." ”

"yes, didn't we experience an earthquake when we came?" Tian Tian suddenly understood.

"And what do the numbers on these stones mean?" Xu Shun asked.

"Let's find out where the stone fell from, and maybe we'll know what it's for." Wang Feng said.

Everyone looked around carefully, but there was no sign of falling stones.

"I think we'd better pick up these pebbles and collect them first, whether it's useful or not, if it's useful, it's easy to be kicked if it's scattered on the ground." Tian Tian said.

"That's right, let's help pick up all the stones on the ground and put them away." Wang Feng said.

The stones were collected, and Tian Tian put them in a bag.

"Now let's go and see the legendary water source, there must be this layer in the middle." Wang Feng said. So saying, he lifted his legs, ready to step over the outermost ditch and go inside.

said that it was too late, it was too fast, Xu Shun grabbed the clothes on Wang Feng's back and shouted:

"Be careful!"

He pulled Wang Feng back with a hard pull, and the two fell heavily to the ground.

At the moment when Wang Feng was pulled back, countless long, pointed iron rod-like things popped out of the outer ditch, and these pointed iron rods popped out higher than the statue, and they densely surrounded the city, surrounding both the statue and the circle.

Before everyone could react, in an instant, they all shrank back again.

Everyone was stunned by this scene!

Wang Feng was even more frightened, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"See, if you step over it, you'll be lying on the ground with all sorts of holes." Xu Shun said.

"How do you know there's a mechanism there?" Wang Feng turned his head and asked Xu Shun.

"I didn't know there was a mechanism there." Xu Shun replied, "I just think it's a little weird. ”

Then he said, "You see, there is water in these ditches, but there is no water in the outermost circle, and there is not the slightest sign of being washed by flowing water, and the water in the inner circle has gone straight to the outside, so the function of this circle is certainly not for flowing water." So what is it used for, and it's certainly not for decoration, so I'm sure this circle must have a special purpose, and it's better to be cautious, as for the mechanism here, I really didn't expect it. Now it seems that its role is to defend and protect, to prevent people from the outside from entering inside. ”

"Then there can't be any other mechanism in there, right?" Tian Tian asked.

"It's not good, anyway, everyone be careful, don't go near that circle, don't touch anything here." Xu Shun instructed everyone again.

"But the water source is right in front of you, you have to find a way to get in!" Mahei Lama said.

Xu Shun stood in a safe enough place from the outer circle, he carefully looked at the layers of grinding disc-like things in the middle, and said to everyone:

"You see, these layers of circles, there is water at the bottom, and there is no water at the top, but if you look at the inner walls of the layers where there is no water above, they are black and bright, and this look is that they have been washed by flowing water for a long time, which means that in the past, there was water flowing in them, but now they have dried up. According to the direction of the water, it should be from the top down, from the inside out, then into the outer river, and then dispersed to other places. ”

"So, as long as the water above is restored, there will be water below. But how can we restore the flow above? Wang Feng asked.

"I haven't thought of this yet." Xu Shun said.

"I thought of it! ......," Tian Tian said.

She pulled out a picture album drawn by her grandmother and found one of the drawings.

This picture looks like an ordinary fairy picture, which usually looks the same, but at this time, it looks quite similar to this situation. The fairy in the painting looks sad and sad, and one of her eyes looks special, with a sad and desperate look in it, and a crystal teardrop hanging from it. She sat quietly cross-legged, holding a strange circle in her palm.

"You see, the fairy in this painting is not like the one in front of you?" Tian Tian pointed to the person in the painting, and then to the statue in front of him.

Everyone came over to take a look. They all say: "It's a bit similar!" ”

"It's not a little similar, it's all, and my grandmother painted the one in front of me. You see, what is in the palm of her hand? A circle. Isn't that what we mean by these things that come round and round? It's just that my grandmother deliberately drew it small, so that it wouldn't look obvious, and I didn't pay much attention to it when I saw it before, and I thought that the fairy was holding her magic weapon, but now I see this circle and circle, I understand. Tian Tian said it right.

The crowd nodded.

"What is the difference between these two fairies?" Tian Tian asked.

"It's the eyes!" Xu Shun suddenly realized, "The root of the water source is the eyes of the fairy!" I should have thought of it a long time ago. ”

Xu Shun seemed to understand what was going on.

"You're right, if we're not mistaken." Tian Tian looked at Xu Shun and said.

"There is a legend in your grandmother's story about a fairy who accidentally fell in love with a Tibetan man in the mortal world and did not want to return to heaven, which angered the Jade Emperor, who burned the man to death and the place where they lived happily together. The fairy was overwhelmed with grief when she found out, and she drained all her tears and shed the last tears on the land. The tears splashed by these tears transformed into 108 seas embedded here, and everything here was restored to its green and vitality. In order to keep this beautiful scenery from dissipating, the fairy dug out one of her own eyeballs and embedded it deep in the ground, so that the sea children would never dry up.

In order to protect the water source, she relocated a nearby village to the ground, which is where we are now. Do you remember? On the way we came, we passed a Haizi, and according to legend, there was a village there a long time ago, but then an earthquake occurred, and the village disappeared overnight and was buried deep under Haizi. In fact, this village has not disappeared, and the village where we are now is the legendary village.

In order to better protect the water source, the fairy cut off all contact between this place and the outside world, but she felt that there should be someone here who knew the truth, so she left a memory in the mind of the living Buddha and allowed the living Buddha to enter and leave the outside world. But if the Living Buddha divulges the secrets here, it will be punished and will never be able to go out again.

Guarding the water source is a boring and long process, up to 10,000 years, so the fairy set up an enchantment to cut off the outside world, the enchantment not only protects the safety here, but also changes the time here, the outside world has passed a hundred years, and it has only been ten years here. In order to thank these villagers who have guarded the village for generations, the fairy gave the temple the water from the source, which is what the villagers call holy water, which is why the holy water of the temple can cure all diseases, because it is the tears of the fairy. ”

After Xu Shun finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Is that so?" He turned to Tian Tian and asked.

"Simply a perfect explanation." Tian Tian smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

"No wonder Dr. Dazhen always used this holy water to clean the wound when he treated Yang Li's leg injury before, and said that this water cures all diseases, I was very worried about whether it would be infected, but everyone has also seen that Yang Li's leg is getting better very quickly, and it will take at least a month or two to recover outside, and it will be almost good in just a few days here. It seems that these things would rather be believed! "Stone had to believe in these miraculous things.

"Since the fairy's eyes are the source of water, how can he be restored?" The rat is still puzzled.

"Look for the eyes, stupid, don't you see that the fairy's eyes are missing?" Xu Shun poked the mouse's head and said.

"That's right, the picture and the story in this picture show that tears are the source of water, and to have tears, you have to find your eyes. If I'm not mistaken, her eyes must have been knocked out during the earthquake. Tian Tian said, looking at the statue.

"Let's look and see if we can find something that looks like an eye." Xu Shun said.

The group began to search every corner, only to dig three feet into the ground, but found nothing.

"It's strange, there are no eyes here!" Mouse said.

"Yes, we've searched everywhere, but no, isn't it...... We're thinking the wrong way? Tian Tian looked at Xu Shun and said.

Xu Shun was also puzzled, and he was also thinking about what went wrong.

"That's right, I'm only three feet away from digging into the ground, and it is impossible for that eye to run to the ground!" Xu Shun said.

At this time, the silent Mahei Lama looked up at the tall statue and said:

"Since it is impossible to run to the earth, it is possible to run to the sky."

"What do you mean, Mahei Lama?" Xu Shun asked.

"There's another place we didn't look for." Mahei Lama said.

"Where?" Xu Shun hurriedly asked.

Pointing to the statue standing tall in the sky, Lama Mahei said:

"Upper."

"Above?" The crowd looked at Mahei Lama's fingers.

He pointed to the top of the circle and said:

"How noble are the eyes of a fairy, how can we ordinary people easily see their true face, and how can they easily fall on this dusty ground!"

"But it's so high, we can't see if there's any!" Mouse said.

"If you want to climb to the top, you have to cross this hurdle, but there is a mechanism here, and you can't get through it at all." Tian Tian said, "Even if we find our eyes now, we can't put it on without crossing this hurdle." ”

Xu Shun looked at the statue carefully, the fairy was sitting cross-legged, with a dignified appearance, one palm down between the legs around the waist, and the other palm up slightly on the chest. The hand on the chest looks like an orchid finger, with the little finger slightly down, and the first circle on the top is below the little finger.

"Perhaps, what Lama Mahei said has a point." Xu Shun said, "The fairy's eyes do not tolerate dust, do not fall into vulgar things, I guess, her eyes are in her hand." He pointed to the hand on the fairy's chest.

"But we can't go up, and we can't see! Are you sure? Wang Feng asked.

"I'm not sure, I'm just guessing." Xu Shun faced everyone's questions, and he was not completely sure.

"But no matter what, Tian Tian is right, even if we find the eye, we have to cross over here to fit it on her. Therefore, how to get through here is the biggest problem we need to solve. Xu Shun said.
