Liu Fangliang came to the gate of the temple, and without hesitation, he curled up and got behind the crack in the bronze gate.

I looked at the fat man the same way, so naturally I could only drill along with him.

When I entered the temple, I could finally see the tall figure in the center of the temple.

It was a strange fish with six legs on the body of a snakehead fish at the same time, this strange fish was majestic and tall, with a hideous face, making a gesture of jumping out of thin air, and the carp jumping over the dragon gate, just looking at it made people feel scared.

There are a total of seven ever-bright lamps on the stone table in front of the statue of the strange fish, according to Liu Fangliang, the lamp oil of the ever-bright lamp is made of the grease on the human body, which is commonly known as corpse oil.

I asked Liu Fangliang: "Little brother, you know the past and the present, tell me, what is this statue?" Why is it here? ”

Liu Fangliang said: "This statue is named Ran Yi, in the ancient myths and legends of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is rumored that it is a strange fish living in the depths of the Wuding River in the north of the Tang Valley, once it appears, a great flood will break out in the world. There is another theory that the fish was incarnated by an evil spirit in the water. However, the most scientific theory is that the relict fish is actually an amphibian 300 million years ago, between fish and reptiles, so it retains both the characteristics of fish and part of the characteristics of reptiles, and this fish is an indispensable link in the evolutionary history of reptiles on earth in the scientific community. It's just a pity that the scientific community has not found fossils about this fish, and it is just a conjecture based on the records of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". ”

"So that's it? So why did the builder of the Pleiades put such a statue of the relict fish here? I asked

Liu Fangliang said: "I'm afraid this has something to do with the totem worship of the ancient ancestors!" The ancients had a long tradition of worshiping nature, such as the sun, as well as the dragon, phoenix, white tiger, Xuanwu and so on in our Chinese culture. They believe that worshipping these creatures will bless their tribe with good weather, and perhaps the statue of the relict fish here is a form of totem worship. ”

Just as Liu Fangliang and I were talking, I suddenly heard a sound of knocking from under the stone table of the idol.

"Knock...... Boom...... Boom......! ”

The sound was particularly harsh in the silence of the night, like the sound of a woodpecker pecking at the wood, but there was a subtle difference.

When I heard the voice, I subconsciously leaned down and looked under the stone table.

Suddenly, it was discovered that a large hole with a diameter of fifty centimeters wide appeared in the brick wall under the pedestal of the Ranyi Fish Statue.

This big hole is not conspicuous, but very secretive, and Liu Fangliang and the fat man didn't find it when they came before.

I lay down on the desk and subconsciously shouted into the hole, "Is there anyone down there?" Roar ......"

"Roar ......"

It was a long time before there was an echo from the cave.

The long interval between the echoes made me have a rough judgment in my mind, that is, the space in the cave of the idol pedestal was very empty.

"There's a big hole down here, it's really a bit strange! Why didn't we find out before? Fat man, I remember that there was no such hole before! Hey! It's really weird! The fat man also approached and looked at it curiously.

When he bent over, he was probably top-heavy and unsteady, and a bone rolled into the cave, and then the voice of a fat man for help came from inside.

"Commander Liu, you're really not a thing, when I fell down just now, you didn't help pull me, come and save me."

I shouted to the fat man in the hole, "How's that? What's inside? How deep? Will you be able to climb up? ”

The fat man said, "Isn't this nonsense? If I could come up, I would have come up a long time ago. If you want to say what kind of place is this, the black lights are blind here, and I don't have lighting equipment on me, fat man, how do you know what kind of place this is? Taixuan, quickly call the little brother over and ask him to find a way with you to rescue me. ”

I said to the fat man: "You stay where you are and don't move, my little brother and I will find a way to save you." ”

The fat man below said: "Taixuan, you have to hurry up, it really stinks down here, fat man, I suspect that I fell into the dung pit......." ”

I ignored the complaints of the fat man under the statue of Ran Yiyu, crawled out from under the desk, and was about to call Liu Fangliang, but I didn't expect that I almost didn't touch Liu Fangliang when I first came out, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

The dim light of the flashlight shone on Liu Fangliang's face, and Liu Fangliang's dark green eyes were looking at me without blinking, and my heart felt a chill for no reason. Just as he was about to exit, Liu Fangliang waved his hand and said to me: "Don't say it, I know everything!" To say that this little fat is really a superb, isn't this deliberately messing up for us? ”

I ignored these and said to Liu Fangliang: "Little brother, the cause and effect of all this is not caused by you?" If something goes wrong with the fat man, I'm the first one who won't let you go, you hurry up and think of a way, how can we save him? ”

Liu Fangliang looked calm, this person was indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he was also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, he took out the green army bag on his back and groped in his green cloth bag for a long time.

This cloth bag is a treasure chest, and there are all kinds of strange things in it.

When he took out the contents one by one, I was also dazzled, including a compass, dried beef, a bottle of sorghum roast seeds, and a folding sapper shovel, and everything I ate and drank.

I pointed to the folding sapper shovel and said to Liu Fangliang: "Little brother, you can do it!" It's really a song that doesn't leave the mouth, the skill doesn't leave the hand, no matter where you go, the sapper shovel is on your body, and the preparation is quite sufficient. ”

Liu Fangliang said: "Digging graves and digging graves is detrimental to yin morality, I have long washed my hands, this time I just admired the book of "Nine Volumes of Reincarnation" and wanted to see the style, so I made this decision." As for the sapper shovel if you like, you can use it for self-defense, I don't really need it. ”

I said, "Forget it! I still understand the truth that a good horse deserves a good saddle and a sword deserves a hero. This sapper shovel can only be of great use in your hands, little brother, or it is better for you to use it. ”

"Taixuan, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. I'll tell you the truth, this sapper shovel isn't actually mine, it's from your grandfather when I first joined that line......"
