Hu Kehao and Chen Qingshan fished in Qinglong Pond as promised. This time fishing without earthworms, they all use feed. Chen Qingshan thought of yesterday's events, his heart was uneasy, he was distracted from fishing, and he didn't catch as many fish as Hu Kehao. He Xin stayed by Hu Kehao's side, watching the fishing hook with him. Suddenly, the fishing hook moved, and Hu Kehao seized the opportunity and suddenly lifted the fishing hook, and there was something hanging on the fishing hook. Put it on the ground, and if you look closely, it is actually a bottle. The bottle was wrapped with aquatic weeds, and the fishing hook hung on it. He Xin was very curious, she lifted the bottle to take a look, the cap was tightly sealed against the mouth of the bottle, and strange words were written on the cap, like a talisman. Hu Kehao thought of the story of "The Fisherman and the Goldfish", worried that the devil lived in the bottle, and wanted to throw it into the pool.

When Chen Qingshan saw this bottle, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Yesterday, Chen Song dug up a strange earthworm, and he had a strange dream at night, worried that something strange would happen today. Hu Kehao caught a strange bottle, which just confirmed his fear. Now that this matter has been explained, Chen Song may be fine.

Hu Kehao consulted Chen Qingshan's opinion to see if he lost the bottle. Chen Qingshan said: "Since you caught this bottle, it is also the will of God." If you throw it in again, it may be caught by someone else, so you might as well dispose of it now. ”

"Do you need to open this bottle and see what's inside?" Hu Kehao asked.

"We all know the story of the fisherman and the goldfish, what if you open it and let out a devil?" Chen Qingshan said.

"Why don't we bury it in the ground?" Hu Kehao said.

"I think it's better to burn this bottle and let it turn to ashes, and it's gone." Chen Qingshan suggested.

Hu Kehao thinks this plan is feasible. They took the bottle home. The news spread in the courtyard, and many people gathered around Chen Qingshan's house to see this magical bottle. A gray-haired woman said, "O iniquity! Put this bottle back in! If you annoy the gods, you will suffer disaster. ”

"Don't be afraid, ma'am. This is a demon, we have destroyed it, for the benefit of the people! Chen Qingshan said. In his own drying dam, Chen Qingshan took out the firewood at home and prepared to throw this bottle into it and burn it. A neighbor said, "I'm afraid that the firepower of this firewood is not enough, so I can't help this magic bottle." We still took it to the Zhang family's tile kiln to burn, which not only saved firewood, but also ensured that there was enough firepower to burn the bottle. ”

Chen Qingshan thought that this plan was feasible, so he took the bottle and walked towards the Zhang family's tile kiln. Chen Qingshan followed a few bold people to watch the excitement, and the timid ones went home.

But it was said that the owner of the tile kiln of the Zhang family was also a guy who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and Chen Qingshan brought this bottle to satisfy the curiosity and provocation of the owner of the Zhang kiln. With the order of the kiln owner, the bottle was thrown into the cave where the fire was raging. Although it was an ordinary fire in the cave, not the fire burning in the furnace of Taishang Laojun, and not the true fire of Samadhi, the bottle burned for a few minutes after the fire, and the whole body turned red.

The people at the kiln clearly heard a strange sound coming from the bottle. Chen Qingshan was very worried, afraid that this kiln fire would not only fail to burn the monster bottle, but also refine a monster that could not be restrained. This is not impossible, history has shown it. For example, Sun Wukong was in the furnace of Taishang Laojun, not only did he not burn to death, but also refined his fiery eyes. History sometimes likes to repeat itself, and Chen Qingshan is worried that a monster will run out of the bottle.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and it seemed that it was about to rain. Chen Qingshan looked up at the sky and saw the strange dark clouds in the sky, and his heart trembled. This scene has been described by the poet Li Taibai more than 1,000 years ago, and there is a poem as evidence: "The bear roars and the dragon sings Yin Yanquan, and the chestnut deep forest is terrifying." The clouds are green and green, and the water is surging and smoking. There is a lack of thunderbolts, and the hills are destroyed. The stone door of the cave is suddenly opened. The blue and dark are bottomless, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform. Ni is the clothes and the wind is the horse, and the kings of the clouds come down one after another. The tiger drum returned to the car, and the immortal people were like hemp. Suddenly the soul throbbed with a spirit, and the trance was startled and groaned......"

It looks like an immortal is coming down from the clouds. Chen Qingshan clearly saw a dark cloud changing shape, and he looked like an immortal. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the kiln, and the thunder was accompanied by a loud noise in the kiln, and the bottle exploded and turned to ashes. In Hu Kehao's opinion, the explosion of the strange bottle is not unusual. The air in the bottle expands by heat, the temperature and pressure rise sharply, and beyond the breaking pressure of the bottle, it explodes. Hu Kehao did not take these strange things to heart, because for him, all phenomena can still be explained by the basic principles of physics.

Back at the farmhouse, He Xin remembered the strange things that happened today and was puzzled. She felt that this Qinglong Pond was strange, and she had to go back quickly to avoid getting into trouble. Hu Kehao said that they have not completed the task assigned by Uncle Bai, and they must not give up halfway, and must find out the cause of the drought in recent months and the solution.

Chen Qingshan's heart was restless, and he had a dream at night. In the dream, Chen Song said to him: "Today a man with no long hair came, and he asked me to follow him, but I didn't go." Chen Qingshan asked in horror: "A man with no long hair?" Tell me, child, what kind of clothes he is wearing? What does it look like? According to Chen Song's description, Chen Qingshan speculated that this was a monk. The monk came to Chen Song, did he want him to become a monk? Chen Qingsong asked his wife, and his wife said that she had been watching Chen Song at home and had not seen any monks coming. Chen Qingsong went to invite a goddess to come to his house and told the goddess about the strange things that Chen Song had encountered. The goddess said, "It's okay, let me do it, let's see the true face of the person who came." The goddess put a large basin of water in front of Chen Song, and three incense sticks were lit in front of the basin, and a spell was placed in the water, as long as the monk came to Chen Song's side, he would naturally appear. Sure enough, in the evening, the goddess saw the water in the basin shaking, and a vague shadow appeared in the basin, according to the shadow, the person who came had no hair and knocked on the wooden fish, and it was indeed a monk with a kind face. The monk said to Chen Song, "Child, come with me." Your birth date is the same as that of your parents, and you can't stay with them for a long time. You need to be properly separated to keep each other safe. Otherwise, you will hurt your parents. The goddess also heard the monk's voice, she wanted to fight with the monk, but she was afraid that she was not an opponent. Thinking that the monk was a fasting and reciting Buddha after all, and would not be a person with a bad heart, he changed his strategy and planned to have a good talk with the monk. The goddess also learned the etiquette of a monk, and folded her hands and recited, "Amitabha." After the greetings, the goddess pleaded with the monk and said, "Look at this happy family, why should you scatter them?" The monk said, "I am not here to harm them." It's really because when Chen Song was digging earthworms, he offended God and was afraid of disease. If Chen Song follows me, under the protection of the Buddha, he will be safe. The goddess found out that the monk lived in a temple dozens of kilometers away, and under the inspiration of the Buddha's compassionate spirit, he would not hesitate to help the people in trouble wherever he saw them. A few days ago, the monk had just passed away, but he worked tirelessly to come to the crossing. The goddess said, "Is there any other way to crack it?" You have long passed away now, if you take Chen Song away, won't you let him follow you to the underworld, and he won't be able to live? The monk suddenly woke up and found that he had passed away. It's not that the goddess broke it, and the monk doesn't know this yet. Like a person in a dream, he doesn't know he's dreaming. Didn't the monk take Chen Song away to take his life? The monk sighed a few times: "Amitabha! Good, good, good! Then he was gone. At this moment, Chen Qingshan also woke up from his sleep.

The next day, Hu Kehao rented a small boat and rowed in Qinglongtan. In the distance, the green hills are faint, and the green waves of the pond are rippling. He Xin said to Hu Kehao: "Uncle Bai may be deceiving us, where is there any Qinglongtan Water Palace?" Many tourist areas have attractions called "XX Water Palace", "Water Palace" is just a name taken by symbolism or substitution, not the real water palace in mythology, we are now playing in the water palace. “

"Just come here for a tour! If Uncle Bai deceives us, what is his purpose? Hu Kehao asked.

"He may just be playing tricks, or attracting attention, looking for a sense of existence!" He Xin said.

"If what he said was false, how could he live in an underground vault?" Hu Kehao continued to ask. They have to find out if there is something strange about it.

"So the basement could be a former bomb shelter? Or is it an abandoned stone factory? He Xin replied.

In He Xin's opinion, if Uncle Bai was a mortal, his behavior would be difficult to explain; If she weren't mortal, she would have wanted to satisfy her curiosity and get to the bottom of it. "Can you swim?" He Xin asked.

"I'm a landlubber and can't swim." Hu Kehao replied.

He Xin thought of a way, they all put on the scale clothes made of snake skin given by Uncle Bai, and tied a rope to her body and dived into the water, and Hu Kehao grabbed the rope on the boat. If He Xin encountered any danger in the water, Hu Kehao pulled her up. Thinking that He Xin could swim, as well as the rope and the lifebuoy on the boat, Hu Kehao thought that this plan was feasible.

He Xin slowly dived into the water, and as her position changed, Hu Kehao kept rowing the boat, or lowering the rope, and followed her very carefully. He Xin kept swimming in the pool and saw aquatic plants, snails, fish, and rotten shoes. Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared ahead. He Xin felt in danger, and he pulled the rope tied to his body. Hu Kehao felt that the rope was moving, and pulled He Xin up with both hands. The whirlpool was getting closer and closer to He Xin, and He Xin felt a clear attraction, and her paddling hands were no longer obedient. Hu Kehao felt that the rope was sinking hard, he was reluctant to throw the rope down, and forgot that he couldn't swim, and was pulled into the pool by the rope.

"Stupid, let go of the rope, you can't swim, you'll drown if you fall!" He Xin shouted at Hu Kehao.

Hu Kehao was worried about He Xin's safety, he didn't want to throw away the rope, he and He Xin slowly sank, even if they died, they would die together.
