How could Li He's body be here? Judging by the degree of swelling all over the body, the time of death should have been more than twenty-four hours.

Three days ago, on our way back from Xiaohe Village, we met him, and he was already crazy. Thinking like this, I suddenly chuckled in my heart, could it be that he ran towards the Yellow River at that time, and then drowned in the river? Think about the time, look at the state of his death now, it is very likely that this is the case. After his death, he sank to the bottom of the river, and then was washed here by the undercurrent under the water......

As soon as I felt that my reasoning was reasonable, I saw Zhang Kailong squatting down and pulling out Li He's right arm. As soon as I looked at the things in Li He's hand, I knew how naïve my reasoning was just now.

He was holding something in his hand, something I had never seen before, but it felt familiar, it was a metal carp!

The back of my head instantly felt like it was being electrified, was this the metal fish that had been lifted many times before? Impossible! I remember hearing Li Xiaobai say that this fish had been bought by a wealthy foreign businessman, why did it return to Li He's hands and appear here?

I looked at Li Xiaobai, and he seemed to be very surprised, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

I stretched my arms out at him, meaning what's going on? Didn't you say the fish had been sold?

Li Xiaobai should have understood what I wanted to ask, and also made a gesture of spreading his arms, which seemed to mean that he didn't know what was going on......

Zhang Kailong reached out and picked up the metal fish, put it in his hand and checked it, as if he was trying the weight.

Later, I learned that although it is also made of metal, because of the different densities, the weight of different metal objects of the same shape is also different. Someone used brass to pass off as gold before, but when an experienced person holds it in his hand, he knows the truth when he weighs it.

Looking at this metal fish, I knew that Li He's madness and death were definitely not as simple as I thought before, but what made me wonder even more was why he died here?

Uncle Shi reached out and took the metal fish, and then pointed to the top of the stone gate, although the water was extremely clear, but the distance was so far that others were limited by their eyesight and could not see the details clearly. But I was different, and I recognized at a glance that there were also four metal fish of the same shape at the top of the stone gate. No! Originally, there should have been five, but only one of them had only a recessed silhouette left, and the metal fish was gone.

Five fish are surrounded by a small round hole in the middle.

Uncle Shi took the metal fish, swam over, and then carefully buckled the fish. The moment the fish was buckled, something strange happened, the whole stone door shook a few times, and a strange sound came from behind the door, similar to the barking of an old cow.

This sound sounds familiar! Have I heard it somewhere? My brain quickly turned around a few times, and I suddenly remembered that this was the night when Hao Xiaoyu and I first performed the Zhou Gong ceremony alone, and I heard the sound coming from the big pit in the western suburbs of the village. I didn't know what had happened that night, but I rushed to see that the water in the pit was gone, and the contents of the huge stone and jade platform were gone.

These two sounds should be made by the same kind of object......

Hanging over the stone gate, I noticed that behind the stone gate was a small peak, which looked like the top of an underground mountain, and I didn't know how much area was buried at the bottom of the river.

Seeing that the stone door no longer trembled, and there was no sound coming from inside, the curiosity of several of us became active again, and the feeling of being suspended in the water at that time was very wonderful, but up and down, left and right, I Li Xiaobad, Xiao Li looked up and down at the façade of the stone gate, and looked at the pattern on it.

The symbols and murals of these patterns are very peculiar, and they originally looked like patterns, but after a closer look, they felt like text symbols.

Later, I told Yang Guoshan how I felt at that time, and he explained it to me like this: In fact, a long, long time ago, before human beings did not have universal writing, patterns and symbols were also very important communication tools, and before words were universalized, there was a long transition period, when good patterns were mixed and matched.

This period was around the end of the primitive society to the middle of the Xia Dynasty.

According to Yang Guoshan's theory, the figure on the stone gate should be that period, so the age of the stone gate is also between the end of the primitive society and the middle of the Xia Dynasty, which is the era in which Dayu lived.

Uncle Shi and Chen Laosan didn't look around, but kept staring at the small hole surrounded by five fish, as if they were thinking about something.

I swam around and then returned to their side, gesturing and asking, "What did you find?" ”

My "ask" seemed to remind Uncle Shi, and he "asked" me three times in a row with his mouth, using one word. I could tell that there were two words, but I couldn't guess what it was.

Uncle Shi looked stunned when he saw me, he didn't understand what he meant, and he was in a hurry! He clenched his left hand into a fist, and a finger of his right hand stretched out and inserted it into the fist of his left hand.

I was even more confused, if it wasn't for the underwater, my face would have been red.

This gesture we used to do when we were kids! It's a curse.

It was in our seventies and eighties, and little boys of our age often made this gesture towards each other, meaning that he was having sex with women. It's too elegant to say that, because it's too rude to speak in our local dialect.

Why did Uncle Shi make such a gesture to me? Does it mean that I am with Yanli and Hao Xiaoyu? Could it be that this stone gate also believes in Buddhism, and non-virgins can't enter? At that time, I also subconsciously took a look, among the few of us, I, Zhang Kailong, and Li Xiaobai are not virgins, Uncle Shi is estimated to still retain the body of pure yang, Chen Laosan is similar, Xiao Li is 100% a little virgin......

At this time, Uncle Shi saw that I still didn't understand, so he changed his expression again, and the movements of his hands did not change. With the gesture of "matching", but the mouth changed to "language", and at this time it was replaced by a word, as if it was "afraid".

Fear? Is he afraid? I muttered to myself.

I accidentally glanced at it, and happened to see a small hole surrounded by five fish in front of me, and suddenly it was like a lightning bolt in my head, and I instantly understood. This gesture is to describe the lock and the key! The fist represents the lock, and one finger is the key, which he is expressing to open the lock!

Probably knowing that I understood, Uncle Shi pointed to the small hole on the top of the stone door, and "said" the words of those two words again, and then I understood in seconds, this is asking me where the key is?

Key? That's right! This hole is very much like the cylinder of a lock, so a key is needed to open it.

But how the hell do I know where the key is!

I waved my hand at Uncle Shi, indicating that I didn't know where to find the key.

Uncle Shi didn't seem to understand, and continued to ask me for the key......

I was blindfolded.

Uncle Shi frowned, and suddenly a tiger pounced on me, rushed behind me, and took off my bag.

Before I could react to what was going on, he quickly unzipped the back layer of the bag.

There are three things in this layer, that is, the three treasures left by the master: the mahogany sword, the floating dust, and the compass, when I put these things into the bag, the uncle was watching from the side, so he knew that these three things were placed here.

I'm even more confused, why did Uncle Shi take out these three things? I only know that these three Taoist artifacts are dedicated to the head of the Yellow River Taoist Sect, and according to Senior Brother, these three Taoist artifacts have been passed down to my generation for nineteen generations.

These three Dao weapons are very strong, as if they are neither afraid of water nor fire, I already know the history of the Mahogany Sword, this is a spiritual exorcism sword, as for the compass and dust that are only the size of a child's palm, I originally estimated that it is similar to the history of the Mahogany Sword, and it is more than a thousand years old.

No matter how valuable and precious these three things are, they are meaningless now! What we need now is a key.

Key? I glanced at the three Dao artifacts again, could it be that one of them was the key? It shouldn't be possible! The Soul Exorcist Sword can't be inserted at all, let alone a compass the size of a child's palm, and the handle of this dust whisk seems to be able to ......

As soon as I thought so, I saw Uncle Shi pick up the dust whisk with his left hand, and put the other two Taoist tools back in his bag with the other hand.

Uncle Shi picked up the Buddha dust and inserted the handle upside down into the hole, and at that time I instantly chuckled in my heart, is it really this Buddha dust?

The dust whisk handle was plugged in upside down. I think it's necessary to say a few words about what this dust handle looks like.

Compared with the dust whisk of the senior brother and uncle, this whisk is obviously a small number, and the handle is only 30 centimeters. Human fingers are so thick, not gold or wood, and they are quite heavy in their hands.

The strangest thing is this dust handle, first of all, it is too thin, and there are a few grooves on it that are not round, and they are not square, I have wondered, is this groove a kind of decoration? It wasn't until I watched my uncle insert the whole Buddha dust handle into the hole that I suddenly realized that this was a key!

Uncle Shi twisted it hard, and he heard a "crackling" sound, and the door slowly opened.

A few of us stood dumbfounded in the doorway, the door like the mouth of a giant monster slowly opening, and a few of us were the food he was about to swallow.

Uncle Shi walked in first, and the figure disappeared in front of us in an instant.

Several people were startled and hurriedly followed.

I don't know if you have this experience, people walk very slowly in the water, you have to resist the buoyancy and resistance of the water at the same time, when I walked with difficulty, when I walked into the door, suddenly I felt that the buoyancy and resistance of the body disappeared at once, and then I looked like a repaired cave, and there were traces of artificial excavation everywhere around.

None of this is strange, but the most unexpected thing is that as soon as I stepped into this door, the water around my body suddenly disappeared.
