I suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu had sent me a briefing on the case yesterday, which said that the director of the sect found that the bookshelf was moving, and when he was about to investigate, he suddenly heard a sound next door, and when he rushed over, he happened to find Xiao Zhang standing in the house, and then the enamel tea jar fell to the ground.

He once questioned Xiao Zhang, but Xiao Zhang said that he also heard the noise and ran in.

I look at this room, there are only two entrances and exits, one is a door and window to the outside, and the other is a small door to the bookshelf room.

The director of the sect ran in from the small door at that time, and Xiao Zhang happened to be near the outer entrance, and it happened that the two entrances and exits were guarded, but this room was the same as other rooms, there was only movement, and there was no one in sight.

Therefore, Shen Yu asked me to wait in this house, did he want to restore the scene?

I was still wondering when I heard a creaking sound from the other side of the bookshelf. I was about to go over and have a look, but Xiaoyu pushed the door and walked in.

"Did Shen Yu find anything in that house?" I asked Xiaoyu.

"I don't know, Teacher Shen is Shinto, she also asked me to come and wait."

I pointed to the other Taishi chair, where Xiao Yu was sitting, and the two of us were waiting there dryly like two generals. Probably because the air in this room was not circulated, I smelled a fishy smell, and I sneezed twice with Xiaoyu at the same time.

After about five minutes, I saw the small door move, and Shen Yu was standing there, waving straight at us.

"Got it?" I saw that her brow was already furrowed, and I thought the problem had been solved, so I quickly asked.

"It's a big difference." She didn't say it all - this woman was more cautious, and she would never tell us the answer to anything that was not certain.

It seems that she is still in a state of Chrysostom for the time being.

Xiao Yu's mobile phone rang suddenly, and it sounded like Lin Ying's phone.

"In the temple." She said.

"Tell Lin Ying, I'll go to the waterhole right away, and meet there."

Out of the gate of Niangniang Temple, on the right hand side is a miscellaneous forest at the foot of the mountain. It was nearly six o'clock in the afternoon, but the summer days were long, and although the temperature was still not high today, and the clouds covered the day, the sun was still there, and the sky was still bright.

We walked through the woods, perhaps too many people coming and going these days, and actually stepped on a path in the forest.

Dusk was approaching, and there were many mosquitoes, so I walked in front and kept waving to help Shen Yu drive away mosquitoes. Xiao Yu followed behind and smiled.

"Teacher Yan, can you not be so affectionate, you still have a single dog by your side."

The miscellaneous forest was not large, and we quickly walked through the forest, and sure enough, we saw a circle of iron fences in front of us locking a pool of clear water.

"This is the waterhole?" I walked a few quick steps, looked at the lock on the fence, and looked at the ripples in the middle of the pool—this place was also the entrance to the cave, but now I couldn't find a place to enter the tomb.

Xiao Yu seemed to read my thoughts, and she explained: "The fence is newly repaired, and the forest team is afraid that there will be curious guys snooping, so they have people lock up the pool. ”

"But, this water?" I pointed to the pool of water and asked, "I read the briefing that the pool is bottoming out, revealing a cave." ”

"That's right, soon after the passage was revealed, there was a sudden return of water under the pool, and then it became like this - when the forest team arrived at the Niangniang Temple, it was already re-filled with water, so even we didn't notice it at the time."

I stared at the water, and saw that there was indeed a black spot in the middle, which I thought was the place leading to the cave.

Xiao Yu continued: "In the past two days, I visited the villagers of Lukou Village, and some older villagers said that this waterhole is commonly known as Longtan, and the older generation says that it has an eye to the sea and regards it as a sacred place.

Later, although some people came to fetch water, it is said that before taking water, they had to pray and ask the dragon king to give water, and the number of people who took water every day was also particular, saying that it could not exceed 7749 bottles.

"Do you see the oak tree by the waterhole, I heard that before the fence was sealed, there was a sign hanging on the branch, whenever someone took water, a vertical path was drawn on it, and every seven lines were drawn, a horizontal line was drawn.

"If you reach the seven groups of vertical roads, the people behind you will not be able to take water that day, otherwise it is said that the dragon lord will be alarmed, and the land will collapse and the flood will be monstrous."

Shen Yu smiled: "Since the villagers are so superstitious, could it be that if you put up a fence, no one will come to fetch water?" ”

"How is that possible? But in the last week or so, no one has dared to come. ”

"Why?"

"Because the villagers of Lukou Village, on the same night, had the same kind of dream and dreamed of the same person.

"The man said in his dream that the Dragon King was going to clean up recently, and whoever wanted to disturb him within a month would have a thunderous fire in his house—if one or two people did this, it was not uncommon for them to dream, and it was strange that almost the whole village had similar dreams—

"As soon as this thing came, this Longtan was even more divine. Some people also say that this is because Xiao Yuanjun is here, and the Dragon King is ready to talk to her, so he will give everyone a dream so that people don't disturb the immortals.

"The people of the entire Lukou Village believe this, and I went to them yesterday to understand the situation, but they almost believed me when they said it."

Shen Yu turned around by the waterhole again, she looked up at me, and said, "Yan Zhu, can you take Xiaoyu to the miscellaneous wood forest to take refuge, I still have some situations that I need to confirm myself." If you meet Lin Ying coming, please ask her to slow down for a while. ”

Xiao Yu and I looked at each other - I don't know what's wrong today, Shen Yu actually avoided us when investigating the case!

However, in my opinion, her words are divine decrees. I had no choice but to walk to the miscellaneous wood forest with Xiaoyu and find a big tree to lean on and sit down.

"Teacher Shen, what's the matter, do you want to be a maverick?"

"Who knows." I casually agreed, and then asked, "When you visited Lukou Village, did some villagers say that Longtan had dried up in history?" ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Of course." There was a long-lived old man in Lukou Village, named Lang Zengshou, who was a sheep herder when he was a child. One day, he heard from the man who went to chop wood that Longtan was dry. So he ran over and looked, and found that there was no water in the pool, but there was a funnel-shaped puddle in the middle of the pool, and the pit was full of water.

Word spread quickly, and the whole village came out to see what had not happened in a century. There were two men who were good and daring, and they wanted to go down to the pool to find out what was going on, but they never returned, and their families never saw them again. ”

I was listening to Xiao Yu talk about the "fantasy" clues, and suddenly I heard the sound of rustling on the other side of the miscellaneous woods. Because the sunlight was shining in opposite directions, we couldn't see the man's face at all.

"Is it Team Lin?" Xiao Yu volunteered and called the captain, but the person didn't react at all, judging from the way he walked, it should be a woman.

I remembered Shen Yu's entrustment, she wanted to stay alone by the waterhole for a while, even if Lin Ying came to visit, she would refuse to enter.

But the figure in the distance is Lin Ying's best, but if it's not Lin Ying, who is she?
