Chapter 1: Returning Home
Summary of the previous chapter: After speculating that the secret of the Nine Palaces Prison Cow was related to Longtou Mountain in Huangpu, I, Fei Bao and Xiao Ying and our party carried out a trip to Longtou Mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info In Longtou Mountain, we accidentally touched the mechanism and fell into the underground ruins. In the underground ruins, we encounter blood bats and various traps that almost killed us. Then we found the first half of the diary of the female medical examiner. It records the horrific encounter of the archaeological team at the underground site seventeen years ago.
Later, we met Qixing and his party at the underground ruins. We have a cooperation agreement with Qixing. I'll help them find clues to the rope, and they're going to keep us out safely. Finally, we finally found the Guangzhou dragon vein map.
In the underground ruins, there is a very mysterious and dangerous creature - mountain ghosts. They even feed on a blood bat the size of an adult. Blood bats will flee in panic when they hear their voices. Later, the true face of the mountain ghosts was finally revealed, and they turned out to be deformed abandoned babies in the village at the foot of Longtou Mountain decades ago in the pit of dead boys, and these abandoned babies have completely lost their humanity and become a very dangerous beast.
In the second half of the underground ruins, we have been hunted by mountain ghosts, but we don't know what kind of more terrifying existence exists, they pierce the chest of mountain ghosts with chains, and then drag them away.
In the end, we fought the remaining three mountain ghosts. Zhao Huchun sacrificed himself to save me and Feibao. When we climbed out of the exit, we found ourselves at the site of the former South Sea Temple.
The underground ruins of Yongtou Mountain originally led to the former site of the Nanhai Temple. We got into the car of the Special Environmental Research Bureau and returned to the foot of Longtou Mountain, and Fei Bao and Xiao Hotaru and I took the car back and went straight home.
Tomorrow is Monday, I asked Hotaru to take a day off from school tomorrow, and the three of us will go to the hospital tomorrow for a full body check-up. I'm a little worried about getting bitten by a blood bat.
Then we went home. Now that it was dark, we spent two days and one night at the underground ruins of Longtou Mountain. Luckily, I got vaccinated with my mom and I told her we might spend the night. Otherwise, I will definitely be scolded by my mother when I get home. But now my whole body is hurt, especially my nose, which is red, and I am worrying about how I can hide it from my mother's eyes.
I stood in front of my house like a thief. I tried not to make a sound, softly opened the yard door, and sneakily peeked inside through the window. There's light in there, and mom is definitely back.
I looked out the window for a long time and didn't see my mother. I guess she's cooking. I opened the door carefully, poked my head in, and watched for a while before daring to enter. I barely make any noise when I close the door. Then passing through the hall, I unknowingly returned to the room on the second floor.
I locked the door and immediately took off my clothes and pants, intending to put on new clothes and cover up the wounds on my body first. The wound on the face will wait for a while and then find an excuse to relieve it.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
I was surprised and asked, "Who!" ”
"Who else could it be! Open the door! "Mom's voice came from outside.
My heart panicked, it turned out that my mother already knew that I was back, but I was sure that I would not be confused because of the panic, I said, "I'm changing clothes, wait a minute!" ”
I didn't expect my door to be opened with a "click". I saw my mom with a key in her hand.
"Why do you have the key to my room!" I asked.
"This is my house, why don't I have the key to my room!" Mom asked rhetorically.
"But this room is mine!"
"The problem is that you are mine too."
I'm running out of words!
Mom looked at me and frowned slightly.
At this point I found myself standing meticulously in front of my mother. I hurriedly covered the important parts and shouted, "What are you doing!" They all said I was changing clothes! ”
"Then you change it!" Mom said with her hands crossed.
"Look at how I change!" I excitedly said, "You at least let me put my pants on before I came in!" ”
"Can't you change it if you look at it! I used to help you change your pants! Mom said as she pulled a stool from the side, and she sat there with her legs crossed looking at me, "What are you shy!" I know how many hairs you have! ”
"Put on my pants!" I pleaded bitterly.
Mom was sitting in the computer chair that I usually sit in that can rotate, and she turned around and said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, and then explain why you don't answer the phone, and your whole body is hurt!" ”
I hurriedly put my clothes on. Then he said that while we were camping, I accidentally slipped down the hill, broke my phone, and scratched my body in many places.
Mom looked at me with her usual sharp eyes, a gaze that felt like she could see through everything. I know she doesn't believe it, but I don't say it, and there's no way she'll know the truth of the matter. After I explained it a little more, I said that I was hungry and wanted to go down to eat. She had to let me go in the end.
My mother asked me to go to the hospital for a check-up, and I said it wasn't very serious and I would go back tomorrow.
When I got back to my room after eating, my mind was still groggy. It's not because I'm not in good spirits, but because I've been experiencing so many things lately, and there are so many mysteries in it that my mind is running out.
I had a phone call with Fei Bao, and I told him all my doubts and things I couldn't figure out. I don't care if he can help me solve these problems, I just want someone I trust to know and a little more strength to support me.
I asked Fat Treasure not to tell Hotaru, and the less Hotaru knew, the better. Because according to our experience and Zhao Huchun's words, it is likely that we will be in danger if we investigate further. I don't want Hotaru to have an accident.
The next day, I, Feibao, and Hotaru went to the downtown hospital for a full body check-up. Then they had lunch, chatted and went back.
I've been struggling with a few questions over the next few days. How can we further investigate the secret of the Nine Palaces Prison Cow? How can Hotaru not be involved in the process of tracking down the secret? I know Hotaru's temper very well, she knows that if we take risks for Amin, she must follow us to continue the investigation, I have no choice but to pin my hope on Fat Bao.
Fat Bao scolded me a few words, saying that I always threw some problems at him. After a few grumblings, he said that he would wait for a chance to talk to Hotaru.
I saw on TV news that the South Sea Temple was completely locked down. These days just happened to be the "Polo Festival", and people in the neighborhood couldn't participate in the temple fair, so the matter was in the news. According to the news, there is a possibility of subsidence in the Nanhai Temple, and the government is investigating by decent experts. But I know that this matter must be Qixing, and they used the power of the government to seal off the South China Sea Temple, and the purpose is estimated to isolate the underground ruins.
Interspersed here are things about the South Sea Temple.
Nanhai Temple is the place where the ancient Chinese working people worship the sea, it is located in Miaotou Village, Huangpu District, Guangzhou, it is the only architectural relics left in the four major sea temples in the southeast and northwest of ancient China, it is the place where the ancient emperor worships the sea god, and it is also an important historical site of China's ancient foreign trade.
The South Sea Temple, also known as the Polo Temple. The name is related to a foreigner in ancient times.
During the Tang Dynasty, the Baltic Kingdom (according to research is ancient India) sent a tributary envoy Daxi to China to pay tribute. After Da Xi went to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he came to visit the Nanhai Temple on the return trip, and planted two pineapple saplings in front of the temple, and the locals called the Nanhai Temple Polo Temple since then.
After Daxi planted the Polo sapling, he forgot to return to the ship because he was greedy for the beautiful scenery of the temple, and he didn't know that the boat had left. In the end, the temple of the South China Sea Temple took him in and asked him to deal with the affairs of the temple together. Later, Da Xi died, and in order to thank the envoy of Sino-foreign cultural exchanges, Miao Zhu gave Da Xi an official title "Da Xi Sikong". Statue for him, standing in the east corridor of Yimen, wearing the official uniform of the Tang Dynasty, wearing an official hat, the left hand is added between the eyebrows, the boat that looks at his hometown, when to pick him up, the folk say that he is "Fan Ghost Wangpolo", also called him, "Polo God". Jackfruit is also known as "ghost pineapple" in Guangzhou, and this name is also derived from Daxi's jackfruit.
And the South Sea Temple has an old site and a new site. The site was the first place where the temple was first built, and it has a history of more than 1,400 years. The new site was built by the Guangzhou government since 1988, when the Nanhai Temple was restored three times. The new site occupies most of the old site, but the part of the site that we came out of the underground site has not been restored. Maybe the government is trying to leave some traces of antiquity for the world to see, or maybe there is something else going on. I don't know.
The Po Lo Festival is a temple fair of the Nanhai Temple, which is held from the 11th to the 13th day of the second lunar month every year, of which the 13th is the main birthday, that is, the birthday of the South China Sea God. The Boluo Festival is a unique traditional folk festival in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province and even the Pearl River Delta region, the largest folk temple fair, and the only activity in the country to worship the sea god.
During the Polo Temple fair, villagers in the Pearl River Delta and good men and women will go to the Nanhai Temple in Huangpu from all directions. There is a folk saying in Guangzhou: the first to travel to Polo, the second to marry a wife. Maybe after swimming in Polo, you will be able to marry a wife. It's a pity that I haven't swam Polo since I became sensible, otherwise I might not be a single dog now.
