The Hajko of the sit* ceremony lasted for five days.

Five days later, Xu Shun was exhausted.

He angrily took off the yellow robe he was wearing, he had had enough, he couldn't take it anymore, he wanted to get out of these nasty things immediately, immediately.

It was at this time that the Mahei Lama found him.

Xu Shun couldn't wait to tell Lama Mahei that he didn't want to continue doing this job* anymore, that he had had enough.

"What is the point of me wearing this robe every day to receive worship from these people? Yes, I admit that your religion is very religious, but what does that have to do with me? I'm fed up with it, I'm not a job at all*. ”

The Mahei Lama replied, "Whether you like to admit it or not, you have now completed the enthronement ceremony and are worthy of the name of Ngawang Hok*, and there are some things I think I should tell you." ”

"No matter what, I don't want to hear it, I'm really not interested at all, I beg you to let me go."

"Let me tell you the story of our village!" Mahei Lama looked at Xu Shun, who was already restless, and he still patiently said to him:

"You must all be wondering, why do we villagers here never go out and what are we doing here? I can tell you now. ”

"No need, what you do here has nothing to do with me."

"You can not listen, but I have to tell you."

Lama Mahei went on to say, "We have lived here since our ancestors, and it is isolated, no one goes out or comes in, and it has been the case for thousands of years. You're the only ones who have broken into here, and maybe that's what Heaven has arranged and directed! Before, we didn't have a road to the outside world, and the reason why you came here was because of the earthquake and the sea dried up, and you found the way to this place. This is completely providential. ”

Xu Shun didn't want to pay attention to Mahei Lama, but seeing his sincere and patient appearance, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Why did Haizi do it? What about the damage to the water source you mentioned earlier? ”

"Our village has lived here for generations, and we only know that the ancestral motto passed down from our ancestors is that we must protect the water source of Jiuzhaigou here. The water source of the whole Jiuzhaigou is in our village, more accurately in this temple, as long as the water source is not damaged, Jiuzhaigou has abundant water for generations, and the scenery is pleasant, but the earthquake caused the water source to be damaged, and the sea in Jiuzhaigou has dried up. ”

"Then why don't you just fix the water source?"

"We don't know where the water is."

"Didn't you say it's in this temple?"

"Yes, it's in this temple, but we don't know where."

"And who knows?"

"Only you know. The exact location of the water source is known only to the living*. ”

"But Ngawang Huo* has passed away!"

"Yes, so, now you are the only person who knows the exact location of the water source."

"What are you kidding, how could I possibly know?"

"I'm not kidding, it's just the way it is. Only the living* know the location of the water source. ”

"But I really don't know!"

"You just don't know it now, but you will know. Now the hope of the entire Jiuzhaigou is here, and you must save our water source. ”

"This one is so hilarious. I don't even know where the water source is, how can I save it? ”

"We've never seen a water source, but we know that it's hidden in this temple."

"Something that none of you who have lived here for many years have ever seen, will you let me be an outsider to find it?"

"You are not an outsider, you are alive*, you are our hope."

"Even if I am your hope, you have to tell me where to find it."

"That's all I know."

"Gone? Then what you said is equivalent to not saying it! ”

Xu Shun was confused, and Mahei Lama's words made him scratch his head.

He stumbled to find his friends and told them all what the Mahei Lama had said.

The rat was the first to pop up and say, "Isn't this?" Where they don't know, what else can you know? Are you familiar with this place or are they familiar with it? ”

Wang Feng asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Xu Shun glanced at everyone and said, "I'm going to escape." ”

"Flee again? How to escape? Do you know where to go? Tian Tian said.

"I don't know. I know you were angry last time I ran away alone, and this time I'm going to run away with everyone. Xu Shun said.

"We don't know the exit now, we just run away, and there's nowhere to go." Wang Feng said.

"So what to do, are you stuck here forever?" Xu Shun said.

"Not really, one day we'll find a way out, but we haven't found it yet." Wang Feng said.

Tian Tian pondered for a while, she suddenly stood up and said, "I don't think we can just leave, we should stay and help them restore the water source." ”

"It's easy to say, do you know where the water is?" Mouse said.

"Maybe I don't know now, but we can go and find it. If the water source is not repaired, then everything here is over! Tian Tian said.

"Looking for it? How to find it, where to find it? The mouse said.

"I don't know yet, but I think we'll definitely be able to figure it out." Tian Tian said.

"Forget it, what's the matter with us, let's find a way to get there." Xu Shun said.

"Look for it. Maybe if we find a water source, we'll find our way out? Tian Tian said.

Wang Feng suddenly realized, he seemed to suddenly understand something, and said, "Yes, isn't the water source leading to the outside world?" I didn't think that maybe finding a water source would lead to the outside world. ”

"It's just your imagination." Mouse said.

"I think it's meant to be. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been brought here, and our way out would have been blocked. God wants us to stay here! Tian Tian said.

"Anyway, we should give it a try. Start by looking for a water source, if you find a way out, that's the best, if you don't find it, then finding a water source is also a good thing. Wang Feng said.

"But, there's really no way to start!" Xu Shun said.

"Maybe we can find the classics that record the development of the temple, since the water source is in this temple, there should be relevant records." Wang Feng said.

So a group of people approached the Mahei Lama and told him the results of their discussion.

"We needed to find a book that recorded the development of the temple. Maybe there will be a clue to the water source inside. Wang Feng said to Lama Mahei.

"But all the books are in the Scripture Pavilion, and no one outside the Scripture Pavilion can enter it casually." The Mahei Lama showed embarrassment.

"Xu Shun is not an outsider, he is alive*." Tian Tian said.

"yes, then I should be able to check it out." Xu Shun also echoed on the side.

"This ...... Well, I can take you in. However, they ...... No. Lama Mahei pointed to Wang Feng and the others.

"Okay, okay, then take me in alone." Xu Shun urged him to say.

So, Mahei Lama took Xu Shun into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion together.

There are many books in the Scripture Pavilion, piled up several floors as high as an attic, and it is full of dust, and it seems that no one has turned over these scriptures for a long time.

"There are so many books, how do you find this?" Xu Shun was worried, and he asked, "Where is the book that records the development of the temple?" ”

Lama Mahei led him to an attic, pointed to the top floor and said, "The upper floor is all there." ”

"So much? How can you see this! Xu Shun looked at the mountain of books and was directly frightened.

He asked Lama Mahei again: "I only said that outsiders are not allowed to enter the Scripture Pavilion, but I didn't say that you can't take the books out of the Scripture Pavilion, right?" Can I take the books out here then? ”

"This ...... I didn't say no. The Mahei Lama replied hesitantly.

"That's good." Xu Shun looked at the books on the top floor and sighed and said, "Find me a big bag and a ladder, and I will move all the books on the top floor." ”

Lama Mahei found a wooden ladder for him, and Sushun took down all the books on the top layer, and Lama Mahei helped him put them all into a bag below.

After emptying the books on the top floor, Xu Shun found a small box in the innermost corner.

It was as if the box had been deliberately hidden, and it would not have been possible to find it without emptying the book. The box was covered with a thick layer of dust, and it looked like it had been around for many years.

"What is this?" Xu Shun was about to reach out to take it, but Lama Mahei immediately stopped him.

"Don't touch that. That's a temple taboo and can't be touched. Lama Mahei said nervously.

"What's so mysterious, you can't touch it?" Xu Shun suddenly became interested in this box.

"I don't know what it is, but it's taboo and you should never touch it." Mahei Lama said with a serious face.

"Alright then!"

Xu Shun saw Mahei Lama's serious appearance, and he didn't want to ask any more questions. He went straight down the ladder and carried the bag full of books out of the Scripture Pavilion and back to where his friends lived.

"Now everyone is working together, and everyone is looking for it. This comes relatively quickly. Xu Shun instructed everyone.

But Xu Shun was stunned when he opened the first book - all the books were either Sanskrit or Tibetan, and everyone couldn't understand them at all.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I have to spread my hands, with a helpless face.

"What now? This is just the beginning of the problem! Xu Shun said.

"I know Tibetan, I can read it for you." Abu on the side was very enthusiastic.

"But when are you going to see it alone?" Xu Shun said.

"We can ask the lamas at the temple to help, they know this better." Wang Feng said.

"That's all there is to it. Who told us to look at these things as if they were reading a book from heaven! Xu Shun said.

So Xu Shun found the Mahei Lama again and asked him to gather all the lamas in the temple and turn the book together.

When Lama Mahei heard this, he immediately rejected him: "This is not good, some books are secrets and cannot be read casually." ”

"Then do you want to save the water?" Xu Shun asked directly.

"Of course."

"Which is more important, saving water or this rule?"

"However, this is the traditional rule of the temple, and it cannot be broken."

"Rules are dead, people are alive. I'm an outsider, not even a Tibetan, and I'm not doing your job.* ”

"It's different. You were chosen by Ngawang Ho* himself. ”

"What did Ngawang Ho* choose me to do? Isn't it just to help you save water? What am I doing now? Isn't it also to help you save water? ”

"But this ......"

"What is this, what is this, now finding a water source is the most important thing, what rules should be put aside." Xu Shun was about to become impatient.

"Okay then." The Mahei Lama had no choice but to compromise.

He gathered all the literate lamas in the temple and asked them to look at them one by one to see if they could find any clues.

But it took them two whole days, and in the end they got nothing. These texts do not contain any information about the source of water.

The Mahei Lama also organized everyone to inspect every part of the temple, not even a single corner of the temple, but did not find anything abnormal.

"How come, is it true that there is no information at all, and no one knows?" Xu Shun asked.

"It's true, you look very carefully, but you really haven't found any record of the water source." Mahei Lama replied.

Could it be in some other book? There are so many books in the Scripture Pavilion that I haven't read! ”

"Probably not. The other books are scriptures, and only the ones we read are miscellaneous discussions that record the history of the temple. ”

"Are you sure it's not in the other books?"

"I'm sure. If it is not written in the books at the top, it will not be in the books of the other levels. Mahei Lama said with certainty.

"Mahei Lama, think about it carefully, is there any place in the temple that we haven't looked for?" Xu Shun asked again.

"We are very familiar with this temple, even every corner of the temple, we all know, we know where every little grass grows in the temple, but we just don't know where the water source is."

"Is there anything else we're missing?"

"If there is anything missing, there is only the Scripture Pavilion, because the Scripture Pavilion has many taboos and secrets. Usually big things or big secrets will be hidden here. So, we all say that the Scripture Pavilion is the most mysterious place in the temple. Because the Pavilion is not allowed to enter and exit at will, it is the only place we did not carefully inspect. ”

"But we've already gone to see the Scripture Pavilion, and there's really nothing in it except books!" Xu Shun said suspiciously.

"Yes, indeed, but there is a taboo in the Golden Pavilion besides books." Lama Mahei said cautiously.

Xu Shun seemed to suddenly think of something, and he asked, "What did you say...... Is that the box? ”

"Yes, that box is taboo, no one can touch it, and no one has ever opened it."

"So what are you waiting for! Hurry up and bring the box, the secret must be hidden in the box. Xu Shun suddenly became very excited, as if he had found the answer to his question.

"But we can't move that box at will." Mahei Lama reminded Xu Shun.

"Hey, here it is again, what do you want me to say about you, whether you are honest or that you are rigid!" Xu Shun looked at the honest Mahei Lama, he was so angry that he couldn't do it, after thinking about it, he said again, "That's it, I'll get it, I'm alive*, I should be able to move, right?" ”

"If that's the case, then I can't stop you." It was as if the Mahei Lama had acquiesced.

Xu Shun returned to the Scripture Pavilion and took the box down from the top floor of the attic. But the box was already covered with thick dust, and the outside of the box seemed to be locked, Xu Shun couldn't open it for a while, he thought, let's take it back first!

So, Xu Shun took this box directly back to where everyone lived. Everyone was interested in the box and began to study it around it.

The workmanship of this box looks very exquisite, but because of the thick layer of dust on the outside, it is impossible to see its detailed appearance, but it does not hide the delicate light it emits in the slightest.

Tian Tian hurriedly went to find a rag, wiped off all the dust outside, and then carefully cleaned the gaps and corners, and the true face of Lushan in this box was revealed!

The box looks as if it is made of fine mahogany, and the body of the box exudes a unique luster of mahogany, which looks very high-end. The box is rectangular in shape, covered with delicate carvings, and each edge is trimmed with gold, revealing an air of incomparable preciousness. There is something similar to a lock in front of the chest, but this lock has a strange shape, a recessed semicircle.

"I didn't expect there to be such an exquisite thing here." Xu Shun sighed, "It's really eye-opening." ”

"yes, this box is so beautiful, I really want to take it back for collection!" Tian Tian said, his hand groping around on the top of the box, and a pair of eyes staring straight ahead, as if admiring a treasure.

"Such a valuable box must contain a great secret." Rats are also interested.

"Do you still need to say this, what I found in the Scripture Pavilion is still a taboo in the temple, and it is definitely not an ordinary box." Xu Shun said, "Perhaps, what we are looking for is inside." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and open it and take a look!" The mouse anxiously wanted to open it to see what was going on.

"But, how do you open this?" Tian Tian picked up the box and carefully checked all sides of the box, but he couldn't find the switch to turn it on.

"In addition to the carving, the only thing on the box is the round thing in front of it. Could it be that this is a switch? Tian Tian tried to press back and forth in the circular groove, but the box did not respond.

"Did you open it from here? Is this round a switch or not? Xu Shun asked.

"I don't know, but I tried it, and I can't open it!" Tian Tian said.

"Could it be that this thing locks it up? Just like our usual boxes have to be locked, is this thing a lock? Xu Shun pointed to the round thing and said.

"If it's a lock, it should have a key, but where is the key?" Wang Feng said.

The group of people gathered around this box, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at the box, at a loss, without any clue.

Suddenly, Abu said, "Do you look at this thing, does it look like a round bead?" No, it should be half a bead. ”

"Beads?" Xu Shun looked at this strange thing and said, "Where did you find such a big bead?" ”

"Could it be? …… Is it a Buddha bead? Wang Feng suddenly remembered, and he said to Xu Shun, "Didn't Ngawang Huo* give you a string of Buddhist beads?" I remember the beads seemed to be about the same size as this. ”

Hearing Wang Feng say this, Xu Shun also remembered and said, "It seems to be so." ”

"Go and take your beads and have a look." Wang Feng hurriedly urged Xu Shun.

So, Xu Shun hurriedly ran to get his Buddha beads.

He looked at the beads, then at the round shape on the box, and said, "Well, it looks the same size." ”

"But it's just a string of beads, how can you open this lock?" Tian Tian said.

"Let's give it a try!" Wang Feng tried to put the beads into the circle, and the size was just right, exactly the size of half a bead.

Then, Wang Feng began to twist the Buddha beads, but the Buddha beads were turning around inside, and the box did not react.

"Isn't that it?" Tian Tian began to doubt.

"Judging from the size, this hole seems to be tailor-made for this bead, if there is no relationship between them, why is it such a coincidence? Isn't the size bad at all? "Wang Feng is also very strange.

"You're right, there must be some connection between this bead and this box. But how could there be no reaction? Xu Shun was also puzzled, and he said to Wang Feng, "You clamp the beads tightly, try again!" ”

Wang Feng put the beads in again and tried to twist them again, but the beads were rolling around in it and couldn't get stuck at all.

"It's not tight," Wang Feng said, "it feels like the key and the lock hole don't match." ”

"What's the matter, is there something stuck in there? …… Let me see. Xu Shun said, leaned to the front of the box, and carefully observed the lock. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, "Look, this one has grooves in it, and there are a lot of things like lines. No wonder the beads don't snap! ”

Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw that this circle was full of recessed lines.

Just when everyone was still wondering, how could there be concave lines in this, Xu Shun seemed to suddenly understand something, he took the Buddha beads from Wang Feng's hand, and carefully examined them one by one.

"Found it!" Xu Shun suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

"What was found?" Wang Feng asked.

"The beads have been found." Xu Shun said, "You see, this bead has lines on it, and there are no other beads on it, it must be it, give it a try!" ”

After speaking, Xu Shun came to the box, put the bead in, and moved it several times to adjust the position, and finally, the protruding lines on the Buddha beads and the concave lines in the semicircle were perfectly fused together, and the Buddha beads were completely stuck inside.

Xu Shun twisted the beads vigorously, only to hear the sound of "bell", and the lock was opened!

"Sure enough, it's the key!" Everyone cheered and jumped for joy.

Xu Shun hurriedly opened the box, and there was only a pair of rolled up painting scrolls in it.

He carefully unfolded the scroll, and then everyone could see clearly, and the painting was a picture of a living* sitting in front of a Buddha statue meditating.

"This painting looks ordinary, does it have any special significance?" Wang Feng said.

"It looks simple, but it's certainly not simple, and simple words won't be put in it. So, there must be some kind of secret hidden in the painting. Xu Shun said.

"This is a picture of an ordinary living* meditating," Abu said, looking at it, "and there are several of them on the wall of my house!" ”

"It's certainly not that simple. What do you think, what is the most important thing about this temple? It's a source of water. That's definitely something they're focused on protecting. And the fact that this painting is kept in such a hidden place shows its importance. Moreover, this box can only be opened with Ngawang Huo*'s Buddha beads as a key, so it is certain that this is not an ordinary box, and this painting is certainly not an ordinary painting. It must have some kind of connection to the water source, and I feel that this is an important clue for us to find the water source. Xu Shun said.

"We all know that this painting is not ordinary, but what is it that is unusual?" Tian Tian looked at the portrait and was puzzled.

"It's really a very ordinary portrait of a living* meditation." Lama Mahei looked at the painting again and said, "I often see Ngawang huo* meditating, that's it, nothing special. ”

When Wang Feng heard Lama Mahei say this, he seemed to be thinking about something, and when he was done, he asked again: "Lama Mahei, do you say that Ngawang Huo* usually meditates like this?" ”

"Yes, so I'm very familiar with this scene, maybe it's because I've seen Ngawang Huo meditate too much, and when I see this painting, I feel very familiar."

"Then can you take us to the place where Ngawang Ho* usually meditates?" Wang Feng said.

"Absolutely. The place where he usually meditates is in his room. Mahei Lama said.

Then Lama Mahei led the group to the room where Ngawang Ho* lived during his lifetime, which was the place where they first and last met Ngawang Ho*.

The room is still the same as when Ngawang Huo lived in it, nothing has changed, and everything is intact. At this time, everyone had the heart to take a closer look at this room, the furnishings of the room were very simple, only a bed, a wardrobe, a bookshelf for sutras, an incense desk, and a portrait of Shakyamuni hanging on the wall behind the incense table.

"Ngawang Ho* usually meditates here," Lama Mahei pointed to the incense table, "and he is sitting in front of him, and the portrait of Shakyamuni behind him, does it look very similar to the one on this painting?" ”

Everyone looked at this scene and imagined that Ngawang Huo* was meditating here, and this scene was exactly the same as the one in the painting.

"It's quite similar, it's exactly the same," Xu Shun said, "but it's a pity that Ngawang Huo* is no longer there, and I can't see him meditating anymore!" Thinking of this, Xu Shun couldn't help but feel sad.

"But what exactly is this painting trying to tell us?" Tian Tian asked suspiciously.

"Could it be a painting on the wall? There's nothing else here but this painting. Xu Shun said.

"Mahei Lama, can you help us take down the paintings on the wall?" Wang Feng asked.

"Absolutely." After saying that, Mahei Lama stepped forward and took down the portrait of Shakyamuni hanging on the wall.

Wang Feng looked at the wall, there was nothing special, he still tentatively stepped forward and knocked on the wall, this time, he found that something was wrong.

He put his ear to the wall, knocked it a few more times, then knocked on the wall next to it, and then turned to everyone and said, "There's something wrong with this wall." The inside is hollow. ”

"What? Are you sure? Xu Shun was a little unconvinced, and he also stepped forward and knocked.

Everyone thought it was incredible, and they all came up and knocked on this wall themselves, and they all heard that this wall was different from other walls. Even the Mahei Lama stepped forward to verify it himself, and the inside of the wall was indeed hollow.

"Mahei Lama, what's going on?" Wang Feng asked.

"I don't know, I never knew what the difference was with this wall!" Mahei Lama was also surprised.

"Does Ngawang Huo know?" Wang Feng asked again.

"I don't know, but I've never heard him mention it." Mahei Lama replied.

"If it's hollow inside, it can be opened." Wang Feng said.

"But there is no trace around it, how can it be opened?" Tian Tian said.

"There must be some mechanism, everyone hurry up and find it." Xu Shun said.

However, Ngawanghuo*'s room was so big, and there were only a few things, and everyone searched for them and found no suspicious clues.

"There shouldn't be none, there must be a mechanism." Xu Shun was still unwilling.

Suddenly, Tian Tian remembered and said, "Look at that painting, maybe there is a clue." The painting hangs there to hide this secret. ”

So everyone took the paintings off the wall and laid them on the ground and looked at them carefully.

"This is an ordinary Buddha statue of Shakyamuni, no different from an ordinary Buddha statue." Abu said.

"Don't worry, take a look again, I think there should be a clue." Tian Tian said.

"Believe it or not, these two paintings are exactly the same." Abu said, pointing to the portrait of a living* meditating person who had been taken out of the box.

Everyone looked at it, and the portrait of Shakyamuni on the portrait of living* meditation taken out of the box was indeed exactly the same as the portrait of Shakyamuni taken from the wall.

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he turned around and went out and took an identical portrait of Shakyamuni.

"Look at the difference between the two paintings." Lama Mahei pointed to the newly picked paintings and the paintings taken from the wall and asked everyone.

"It's no different, it's all the same!" Xu Shun said.

"Take a closer look." Mahei Lama reminded everyone.

"Hands, it's different hands." Tian Tian said, "The things in my hands are different. ”

"Yes." Mahei Lama said.

Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out that the two paintings were indeed different, and the difference was in the hands of the Buddha.

In the painting that Lama Mahei took up, the Buddha had two hands, one on his chest and the other on his knees, but the palms of his hands were empty. In the painting taken down from the wall, the Buddha's two hands, one hand on his chest and one hand on his knee, but the difference is that there is one more thing in his hand on his knee.

"Are you sure this thing is superfluous?" Wang Feng asked Mahei Lama.

"Wait a minute." After saying that, the Mahei Lama turned around and went out again.

When he returned, he had two more of the same portrait of Shakyamuni in his hands.

"Look at these three paintings, are they exactly the same?"

In order to dispel everyone's doubts, Mahei Lama put the three paintings together so that everyone could see them clearly.

This time, everyone saw clearly that the three paintings were indeed exactly the same - the Buddha's hands were empty.

"Now you believe it, these three are normal Shakyamuni portraits." Mahei Lama said.

"And what's that extra thing in his hand?" Xu Shun asked.

Everyone looks at this thing, it looks a bit like a pagoda, and a bit like an incense burner, I don't know what it is.

"I don't know what it is, but I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. I can't tell, I forgot. Mahei Lama said.

He stared at this strange thing for a long time, and always felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

"Think about it again." Tian Tian said.

"I can't remember, I really forgot." Mahei Lama said.

"Think about the circumstances under which you saw this? Are you alone in seeing it? Tian Tian reminded him.

Lama Mahei struggled to remember, and suddenly, as if remembered, he hurriedly turned around and came to the incense table where Ngawang Huo had meditated before his death.

"I remember, this is it!"

He bent down and put his head under the table, and with a stir, cleared the clutter from under the table.

Then point to one of the legs of the table and say, "There it is!" ”

"What's there?" Tian Tian asked.

"Draw that thing."

"But it's a table leg, nothing?" Tian Tian looked at it, and it was indeed just a table leg.

Lama Mahei stood up and lifted the table up.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and when the table was lifted, the thing on the ground was revealed, exactly like the one in the painting.

It turned out that the inside of the leg of the table was hollow, like an outer shell, which just covered what looked like a white tower, completely hiding it inside.

Everyone was taken aback, and Xu Shun asked, "How do you know such a hidden thing?" ”

Lama Mahei said, "It's all a coincidence. Once, Ngawang Ho* asked me to come to his room to get a scripture book and use it in a hurry. I was in a hurry, took the scriptures on the table and left, but because I was in too much of a hurry, I accidentally tripped over the table leg and fell. At that time, the other three legs of the table were moved except for the one leg, and I thought about restoring the table, so I pushed it. I was a little curious to see what was wrong with the leg and why it couldn't be moved. Just as I was trying to lift it up, I felt as if something was stuck underneath, so I lifted the leg up and saw that something was a little round, like the incense burner part underneath it, and just as I was about to lift the whole table up to take a look, Ngawanghuo* suddenly came in.

He saw that I was moving the table, and he seemed nervous, so he immediately grabbed it and put it away. I told him that something seemed to be stuck underneath, and he said it was fine, maybe it was just something that fell and got stuck, and he just went back and cleaned it up himself. Then he said that he was waiting for my scriptures, and quickly took me out. I didn't pay much attention to it, and then I forgot about it. ”

"Didn't you think to go back and see what it was?" Xu Shun asked.

"I didn't pay that much attention at the time, I thought it was just something that fell, so I didn't care. Besides, if Ngawang Huo* is not there, we can't go in and out of his room casually. ”

"I see, do you know what this is now?" Tian Tian asked.

"I don't know."

"Do you know what this is for?"

"I don't know. I've never seen anything like this. ”

As he spoke, Lama Mahei bent down, ready to pick it up and take a closer look.

However, he found that the thing could not be held, as if it were fixed on the ground.

"I can't take it." Mahei Lama said to everyone.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know."

"I'll take a look." Tian Tian hurriedly ran over.

She bent down and tried to pull the thing out, but even with all her strength, the thing didn't move.

"Strange, why can't you move?" Tian Tian said that no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't pull it out.

"Could this be a mechanism?" Xu Shun said.

"What mechanism?" Tian Tian asked.

"Could it be the mechanism that opened that wall? Otherwise, why is it so hidden, and it can't be pulled out. Wang Feng said.

"Makes sense, it's very likely." Tian Tian said.

So, Tian Tian changed the method, she put her hand on it and twisted it to see if it would turn, but unexpectedly, this thing really turned. Tian Tian screamed excitedly. But she screwed it for a long time, and it didn't seem to be of any use, and there was no reaction.

"No, it's obviously writhing, something must be wrong." Tian Tian said.

"I'll try." After speaking, Wang Feng also came to the table, and he also twisted the thing, but no matter how he twisted it, the wall still didn't react.

"Here's what's going on. Is this really not a mechanism? Wang Feng said puzzled.

"Not true. This thing must have something to do, it can't be here for no reason. I'll take a look," Xu Shun also came to the table, he looked at this thing carefully, and felt that the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Suddenly, he ghostly pressed this thing down, and everyone heard a "click" sound,

It's like it's stuck in something. Then, he twisted it to the right with all his might, and everyone heard the sound of the plank moving. They all looked at the wall, and a crack began to crack in the place where the painting had been hung before, and the two planks slowly moved to both sides.

"I didn't expect there to be a mechanism!" Tian Tian shouted happily, she turned her head to look at Xu Shun with puzzled eyes, "How do you know it's opened like this?" ”

"I don't know!" Xu Shun didn't know how to explain, "I just look at this thing very strangely, a sense of déjà vu, but I can't remember where I've seen it." I also wanted to press it, but I didn't expect it to open by mistake. ”

Tian Tian had an expression of disbelief. "Really?"

"Really. What am I lying to you for? Like you, this is the first time I've seen this thing. It's just that, how to put it, this weird feeling can't be explained. Xu Shun felt that he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Is this the will of God?" Abu said beside him, "Because you and Ngawang live in a heart." ”

"What a heart, what a mess." Xu Shun didn't believe it at all.

"I think Abu has a point." Tian Tian said, "There are some things that are really not explained! Perhaps, it is Ngawanghuo* who is guiding you in the dark! ”

"Okay, don't dwell on this, let's see what's inside?" Xu Shun didn't want everyone to continue to discuss this issue, and if he continued, he would have to be involved in his identity again.

"Let's see what's going on inside!" Wang Feng also reminded everyone on the side.

When everyone looked inside, they could only see that there were steps extending down, but there was no end in sight, and further down, it was dark and whirring, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"It looks like a tunnel." Wang Feng said.

"Is this the road to the water?" Xu Shun turned around and asked Mahei Lama.

"I don't know, I've never seen a water source, this tunnel, I've never heard of it." Mahei Lama said.

"You've been here for so long, you didn't know there was this tunnel?" Xu Shun was skeptical.

"I've never heard of it." The Mahei Lama replied again.

"Looks like this place must be the way to the water." Xu Shun said with certainty.

Want to know the answer? It's simple, go down and see! Wang Feng said.

Xu Shun looked into the dark tunnel, which was bottomless, and he couldn't help but feel timid, and said, "Do you really want to go down?" ”

"What do you call you?" Tian Tian asked, "Won't you go down?" ”

"I think so, you see, what is going on in this tunnel now, we don't know, if everyone goes down, what if there is danger? I think we can send two or three people in to have a look first, probe the truth, and the rest of the people stay outside to answer, no problem for everyone to go down, in case there is any danger, you can think of a way to rescue you, right? ”

"It's simple. Shi and Yang Li just stayed outside, anyway, Yang Li's legs were not good. Tian Tian said.

However, Yang Li stopped this time, she said: "Although my legs are not completely healed, but with crutches, I can still walk slowly, I will not stay here, I want to walk with you." ”

"But we don't know what's going on inside, we're afraid you're in danger if you go down! You'd better stay on it first! Wang Feng said.

"I'm not going to stay on it. Who knows if you've found your way out? If yes, then you just left, what are we doing on it? If you want to walk together, if there is any danger, everyone will carry it together, anyway, you are not afraid of us! ”

"It's been a long time, are you afraid that we will leave you alone?" Wang Feng was very disappointed in Yang Li, but he didn't expect that kindness would be a donkey's liver and lungs.

"No, that's not what she meant, you misunderstood!" Stone hurried out to explain to everyone.

"What's not, who can't hear it, it's obvious that we're afraid that we'll abandon her, and what is the danger to carry together, it's nice to say, I'm afraid that we will run away by ourselves!" Tian Tian said very angrily.

"Whatever you think, we're going to go with you anyway!" Yang Li is also very stubborn, but she is embarrassed to argue with Tian Tian anymore, after all, she does have a trace of that thought.

"What about your legs, is that okay?" Wang Feng asked.

"No problem, I can walk slowly, I'll be careful. And my husband will take care of me and protect me. Stone, right? After speaking, Yang Li looked at her husband Shi Shi and gave him a look.

Shi saw Yang Li's eyes, he didn't want to deal with her, but he still said to everyone: "In this case, let's go together, don't worry, we won't cause you trouble." ”

Then, Wang Feng said: "Since everyone has decided to go down together, then we must make full preparations." It's too late today to go down, so we'll go down tomorrow. ”

Then he asked Lama Mahei, "Lama Mahei, do you want to go down too?" Are you old enough to eat? ”

"Of course I'm going down. Together with you, I must find a water source, which is a matter of life and death for the entire village. I don't know if I'll be able to find it, but I have to give it a try myself. Lama Mahei spoke firmly, without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, besides, I'd like to ask you to prepare some things for us."

"Whatever you need, please feel free to tell me, and I will do my best to prepare it for you."

"We don't need anything special, it's just that we don't know what the situation is inside, how deep it will go, how long it will take, we don't know, so we must be prepared. Food, drink, use, ropes, knives, torches, tools of all kinds, medicines, etc., are to be prepared. ”

"No problem."

"Well, we'll get our things ready tonight, and we'll go down early tomorrow morning. In addition, let's not talk about today's events for the time being, after all, this is related to the water source, and I will restore this house later. Let's sleep well tonight, maybe tomorrow, we will face unknown challenges again! ”

After speaking, Wang Feng came to the table and turned the pagoda switch under the corner of the table. The door to the wall closed, and he hung the painting back up, and nothing seemed to have changed.

After he had arranged and handled everything properly, he told the people to disperse.
