It was precisely because the mark on the stone door looked special and clear that the old oil man firmly remembered it, and today he looked at the Zhenhe mirror on my chest with big eyes, and immediately recalled the mark on the stone door he saw at that time. The imprint and the bronze mirror are almost imprinted in a scratch, the old oil man has been doing this kind of thing all the year round, and the experience in some aspects is not even comparable to his grandfather, he pondered for a while, and felt that the mark on the stone door should actually be a very special lock.

Until this time, there was still no figure under the water. The old oil man remembered clearly, the previous few people who seemed to be walking in the water went down from this position, but there was no trace. Lao Youzi and his companions could not talk directly underwater, and could only communicate by simple body language, but Lao Youzi had a vague hunch, and he felt that those people seemed to have entered through this stone door that only opened a little gap.

When encountering this kind of thing, even an ordinary person will be suspicious, and wonder what the origin and identity of those people are? What's going on with this stone gate? What's behind the stone gate? The old oilman was a water rat and was more concerned about these problems, but the sudden appearance of the stone gate at the bottom of the river made him feel unsteady, so he didn't act rashly, and when the gas was about to be replaced, he surfaced. His companion was very bold and insisted on going in to have a look, but the old oil man couldn't resist him, so the two of them went into the water again, discussing that the old oil man was waiting outside, and the companion was responsible for going in to investigate.

"No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen." The old oilman sighed.

The tomb robbers of that year were not easy to do, the tools were simple, and if they encountered any accidents, they all had to rely on their own skills to get through the difficulties, and the general water rats had a bit of special skills, and the companions of the old oilers would shrink their bones, and they were seven or eight meters tall, and they squeezed into the gap along the stone gate. The old oilman was looking outside, and his companions would find something unexpected after they went in, so that they could get some good things. But the moment the other party drilled into the stone gate, the whole river bottom seemed to move slightly, and then, there was a knocking sound from the stone gate, which made the old oil man uneasy, and he quickly wanted to call his companion out.

But it was too late, and at the same time that the sound came out, the stone door that only opened a slight crack was slammed, and it was so tight that even flies couldn't fly in. The old oil man and his companions grew up together, and they have been together for so many years, and they have a deep relationship, and they wanted to save people at that time, but the stone gate was unimaginably heavy, and he couldn't exert his strength underwater, and the old oil man used all his strength, like a dragonfly shaking a pillar. His companion was imprisoned in the stone gate, not knowing whether he lived or died, and the old oil man wandered near the river for two or three days, and went into the water several times, but the stone gate was still there, but it could not be opened. In desperation, he remembered the special lock on the stone door again.

Lao Youzi searched for his peers everywhere, and wanted to ask about the imprint, but the history of the stone gate is estimated to be too long, and others have not even heard of it, and after looking for a period of time on the river beach, he did not find any results, so he began to expand the scope of searching, this time he wanted to go to Xi'an by car, and inquired with an old friend in the past. In fact, he had already noticed the Zhenhe mirror on my body, but he didn't show his face, and when he talked to me, I ignored it, and his attitude was very cold.

"It's been a month." The old oil man sighed slightly again, and said, "The pillar may be gone, but I don't see it with my own eyes, and I always can't bear it in my heart." ”

A stone gate at the bottom of the river, the door has the imprint of the Zhenhe mirror, and this is the first time I have heard of this. But the Zhenhe mirror is what King Yu left behind, generation after generation in the seven gates of the river, since the stone gate has the imprint of the Zhenhe mirror, it means that this matter, and the seven doors have some inseparable relationship.

While pondering, I secretly observed the old oil's expression, and he didn't seem to be lying in his telling. Who are those people who walked like treading water and disappeared to the bottom of the river? What's going on with that stone gate? If you don't know about this at all, then forget it, but now after listening to the old oil, I can't help but start guessing in my heart.

"Brother, I think there must be something behind that stone door." The old oilman said: "Can we discuss?" Open that door with a mirror? ”

I didn't answer the old oilman's words, I had already set foot on the road to the west, but at this moment, I always felt that this stone gate seemed to have a very special meaning, extremely important, and could not be missed like this. I was in a dilemma, and I wondered whether I should return to the old estuary halfway to see the stone gate.

"Brother, what do you think?" The old oilman probably thought that I was not good at talking, and pleaded vigorously beside him.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a slight and imperceptible movement in the field of crops under my feet, and the movement was very, very small, almost indistinguishable. I turned my head, gently raised my hand to signal the old oilman to shut up, and then slowly observed it with all my might.

"Come out!" I immediately discovered the true source of the movement, took two sharp steps, and reached out to grasp it vigorously about three or four meters in front of us. My current strength is already very terrifying, and with all my strength, my palm sank into the soil layer under my feet, and a person was forcibly lifted out of it.

I slammed hard, the man's body was covered with dirt, but the reaction was fast, he broke free and wanted to escape, I grabbed very tightly, he struggled violently, stabbed, the man's clothes were torn, take this opportunity, turn over and run. The old man had been crouching beside us and listening to us, faster than a rabbit, and slipped to the man's feet against the ground and hugged the other's legs.

In that case, I was a heavy hand because I didn't know the other person's intentions and I always felt insecure. He hurried a step from behind and smashed it with a punch. At this time, I had already met with each other, and by the moonlight, I recognized that this person who was quietly hiding in the soil was the old pedant who had been sitting across from us in the car.

I was a little shocked and a little hesitant, why did this person jump out of the car with us? He's hiding here, eavesdropping on my conversation with the old oilman? Or is it waiting for an opportunity to work against me? The situation was tense, and I didn't have time to think about anything, anyway, whatever the intention, it always made me feel dangerous. I stopped for a moment, the old scholar had found a chance to fight back, but his two legs were tightly hugged by the old man, he couldn't get out, and his speed was slow, and my two fists hit one left and one right, and the wind and lightning bombarded seven or eight times.

Whether in the past or now, I rarely have the idea of causing death, but the situation is urgent, the shot may indeed be heavy, the old pedant dodged left and right a few times, and finally punched in the forehead, I vaguely heard the sound of bones breaking, the other party's resistance was immediately slowed, the body staggered, poofed to the ground, and continued to twitch gently.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to live!" The old oil man glanced at it, swallowed his saliva, raised his eyes and looked around, and said, "Fortunately, there is no one now." ”

My heart was a little confused, and I squatted down to take a look, and there was a black blood mark on the old pedant's forehead, which might really not be saved. I regretted it, but to no avail, I carried him to the wasteland next to the crops. The old oilman was very good at digging holes, so he took out a small shovel from his bag, swished and dug it on the spot, and in a short time dug a pit and buried the old pedant in it.

"I don't have a good memory, I may forget all of today's things tomorrow, brother, you see, the matter of the bronze mirror" The old oil patted the soil on his hand, half inviting merit and half threatening to me: "If you really don't want to make a move on this mirror, how about you lend it to me?" I'm looking for a pillar, and if I get something out of the river, I'll give you a thick share in the end. ”

"Let's go, go to the old estuary." I thought about it, turned around and left, not that I felt that the old oil man had helped me anything, nor did I covet anything, but I wanted to figure out the matter of Shimen in my own heart, and the Shimen under the water must have been in the river for a year or two, and it was silent for many years, but there were clues at this juncture, I don't know if it was a coincidence, or providence. Again, the old oil man looks very slippery, but his companion has been missing for so long, and he is still bent on finding the other party, and his heart is quite good.

We immediately changed our itinerary and had just left the river beach and now turned back to the old estuary. This river is the territory of the sand miners, and the side door does not interfere, and it is generally quiet and safe. The old oil man first showed me the specific location of the incident, and it must be at night to do it. But unfortunately, in those days, the sand factory estimated that it received an order, and four or five boats worked on the river day and night, disrupting all the plans.

The three of them had no choice but to settle down here temporarily, hoping that the sand factory would be able to finish their affairs as soon as possible. There are faces everywhere in this area, and there is no need to hide in the wilderness, we observe the situation near the river during the day, and rest normally at night. I stayed for three or four days in a row, and I was a little anxious.

"It's something that can't be rushed." Lao Fuba has no heart and lungs, and he can fall asleep in less than three minutes after dipping into the kang, and before going to sleep, he also persuaded me to relax and be patient.

I smiled, lying on the bed, I didn't feel sleepy, I stayed up from lying down until late at night, I opened my eyes unintentionally, and I saw the opposite back window, and I don't know when a face popped out silently.

At that moment, the hairs on my body stood on end, but when I looked at it, all the horror turned into a thick doubt. I could see very clearly that the face that appeared outside the back window was that of an old pedant who had been buried in the field a few days ago!
