The basin in front of me is about the size of the basin we usually use to wash our faces, the workmanship is very rough, the color is gray, and it looks very hard. Xiang Feng flicked the edge of the cartridge basin with his hand, and there was a 'clang' sound. The bottom of the basin, as well as on the wall of the basin, are carved with patterns, densely packed. The pattern is composed of lines, some like mountains, some like rivers, criss-crossed, and some similar to words, which should be the prototype of ancient hieroglyphs. The old fox knelt in front of the basin reverently, his expression was very solemn, his hand reached into the basin, stroked the lines, and carefully distinguished. After a few glances, I felt dizzy, so I straightened up and shook my head.

Judging from these pottery pots and pans, as well as stone knives and stone tools, this is probably a place where ancient people lived in the past. Looking at the entire stone chamber by the light of the fire, the more I looked at it, the more I wondered, how could this stone chamber be so similar to the stone chamber we had in Taihang Mountain? … Master and Xiang Feng had never seen the stone room, although they also wondered how there could be a stone room underground, but they didn't think deeply, and their attention was attracted by this clay pot at the moment...

Suddenly, I thought of the secret door that Yuxin and I had in that stone room, and I said in my heart, I don't know if there is also a secret door in this stone room in front of me. In order to save fuel and avoid encountering those foxes, Master only lit a torch, and the fire did not shine in the dark places in the corners of the stone room. After my flashlight had been 'sent' away, it had broken as it slid down the wall of the ditch. I discerned the direction and groped my way in the direction where we had the secret door in the stone chamber of Taihang Mountain. There is a lot of fox in the stone room in front of me, it is smelly, sticky and greasy to step on, and it is very uncomfortable. As we were walking, we heard the voice of the master behind me, let's not rush to study whether there is a way to deal with the river god engraved in this basin, let's take it and leave here quickly, otherwise if those foxes come back, it will not be easy to deal with here... Then there was the sound of a few people getting up, and their clothes were rustling.

"Huh? What about Leng'er? Master said.

"There." Yuxin said.

"Leng'er, let's go."

"Uh-huh..."

I said yes, but I had already come to the corner of the stone room, and I felt down the wall, and sure enough, there was a door! I can't help but let out an 'ah'.

"What's wrong?"

The master asked in a concerned voice, and then jumped over.

"Door, here's the door!"

At this time, everyone gathered around. Under the flickering firelight, I saw a slightly raised secret door under the wall, about the size of the secret door of the stone room where we were present. I no longer doubt that the person who built the stone house in front of me must be the same person who built the stone room in Taihang Mountain... Thinking of the evil aura on the thing that was originally imprisoned in the belly of Taihang Mountain, the ghost thing that came out of the underground temple altar at this moment also has an evil aura, could it be that the two of them are the same thing? …

I told Master sù about the doubts in my heart, and Master thought about it, squatted down, grabbed the edge of the secret door and pulled it out, without even pulling it several times. So he stopped, kicked with his foot, four or five times in a row, and finally the secret door loosened, and little by little it fell into the stone wall, and then kicked four or five times, and all of a sudden, 'boom', the door flew out, and under the firelight, I saw a dark unknown space on the opposite side.

"I'll go over and have a look."

Xiang Feng said, and was about to drill in as soon as he bowed, but was stopped by the master.

"What's wrong, Master?" Xiang Feng asked.

Master straightened up, looked backwards, backs, left and right, and said in a deep voice, "You all get out of here first, and I'll go in by myself, otherwise if those foxes come back, everyone will be blocked here." ”

What Master said is right, after we go out, we should guard the entrance of the cave, even if the fox comes, don't think about coming in, if everyone stays here, once the fox comes back, it will all be blocked here. But I was afraid of the unknown danger in this 'dark space' in front of me, and I was worried about Master's safety, so I said, Master, I will stay with you.

Master thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. ”

After seeing Xiangfeng, Yuxin, and Lao Hu leave, the master took the torch and drilled over, and I followed. I got up and looked around by the light of the torch in my master's hand, and there was actually an earthen room next to the stone room, which looked similar to the underground temple earth room we had before, but the area was much smaller, and the walls were full of traces of ramming, and when I knocked it with my hand, it was very strong. In the middle of the earthen chamber is a rectangular pit, about the size of two bathtubs combined. There were a lot of black things in the pit, one by one, and I leaned down and knocked them with my hand, which were harder than stones, and I wanted to pick out a piece, but the lumps seemed to be welded together, and I couldn't pick them off at all.

Not far from this pit is a pot made of clay, compared with the basin engraved with 'Hetu', no matter the size, shape, color, are almost the same, it should be fired in a kiln, the difference is that the basin in front of me is not engraved with a pattern, but there are two bones, I don't know what kind of animal, with a light touch of the hand to break into powder...

In short, the qiē in the earthen room made me feel extremely novel.

"This house should have been built by the ancients to keep livestock." Master said.

"Captive livestock?" I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hmm." The master pointed to two holes in the wall not far from the basin, "If I'm right, these two holes must have been left over from the ropes that were used to tie the animals." ”

I looked at the basin and said, "If that's the case, then this pot is for livestock?" ”

"It should be."

"That's... The pot with the river map engraved on it was originally used for feeding?! ”

Master nodded silently.

The thoughts in my heart flashed one after another, according to this, the thing that came out of the altar of the underground temple was originally a 'livestock' kept in captivity here? Who will be the person who keeps it in captivity? Dayu? It's incredible...

I looked at the pit again, and suddenly I realized what the black, fossil-like thing in the pit was, the of the 'livestock'... Judging by the two holes in the walls, as well as the two identical terracotta pots, there were two of them that were originally kept in captivity. My mind is full of thoughts... When I lived here, it was a fairy-like couple, the male host's name was Dayu, and the hostess... The hostess is called Anonymous, they have two 'pets', and for some reason, Dayu put one of the pets in the altar of the underground temple, and brought the basin where it eats, and engraved the river map and the method of dealing with the river god in it... On the day the pet was taken away, the hostess was reluctant to cry in every possible way...

I was thinking nonsense, but Master pushed me, Leng'er, and left.

"Just gone?" I looked left and right.

"Hmm." Master nodded.

Crawling back to the stone chamber through the secret door, we followed the hole we had come from, and soon came outside. Getting up and looking around, I couldn't help but gasp, if it wasn't for Master to let Xiang Feng and them come out first, we wouldn't have thought of it. Right now, we are surrounded by foxes, and on both sides of the ditch and on the walls of the ditch, there are foxes everywhere, flashing with a pair of green eyes. Thinking of the thrilling scene last night, I felt a chill in the back of my head, these foxes were much more difficult than those villagers in Gaojia Village. Xiang Feng and Yuxin were holding a torch, and the old fox was 'woo woo mile', and he didn't know what he was saying to those foxes. When he saw us coming out, the old fox stopped shouting.

"How?" Master asked in a deep voice.

The old fox pointed to the basin in his hand, "What they mean, if you don't leave this basin, don't want to leave here..."

I looked around, but I didn't see the thing I hit with the yin charm last night.

"Dreaming!"

I snorted, took the torch from Xiang Feng's hand, and waved it at the foxes on the periphery, and the foxes in front of me tried to retreat, but they were squeezed by the foxes behind them, and they couldn't retreat at all. Looking at this, we can't get out of here unless we can fly, or kill all of these foxes.

"Why do these things value this basin so much?" I muttered, "What about Master?" Or kill it. ”

"Nope." Master said.

"What then?"

The master thought for a moment, swept his eyes around the foxes like electricity, and whispered, This basin is useless to us, leave it to them.

"But..."

Before I could say anything, Master said, "All we need is the patterns and words engraved on the basin, and we will find a way to rub them down."

Hearing Master say this, I couldn't help but pat it on my thigh, and said in my heart, Master is calmer than us, and we are all worried about how to deal with foxes, and no one thought of this. No matter how high the IQ of a fox is, it will not understand the 'printing press' of humans. Master took the basin from the old fox's hand, put it on the ground, and I took out a large piece of yellow paper from my bag and handed it to him. The old fox, Xiang Feng, and Yu Xin each held a torch to protect us.

Master unfolds the yellow paper, spreads it into the basin, and presses it with his hands so that the yellow paper is close to the wall of the basin. This piece of yellow paper is quite large, and after all the walls of the basin are covered, there is still excess on the four sides. I took out the small box of cinnabar, opened it and handed it to Master, who dug up a large piece of cinnabar in the palm of his hand, flattened it, and erased it on the yellow paper. Where the cinnabar has been plastered, the yellow paper presents a very clear 'image'. After wiping it again, the master lifted the yellow paper, and when I picked up the basin and was about to throw it at the foxes, the master suddenly said, "Wait, check to see if there is any pattern anywhere."

I looked at the periphery of the basin, it was bare, without a pattern, and I turned it upside down. Under this turnover, I saw that there was a pattern under the basin! …

The pattern of the bottom of the basin is very different from the one inside the basin, before in the stone room, everyone was attracted by the pattern inside the basin, and they didn't have time to check it carefully, no one thought that there was a pattern under the basin...

At this moment, there was no time to look closely, and after rubbing the pattern of the bottom of the basin on another piece of yellow paper in the same way, the master picked up the basin, took a deep breath, and threw it vigorously into the far part of the ditch. The foxes roared in unison, and all of them circled us and rushed towards the spot where the basin had fallen.

I "go!" The master let out a deep sigh, and everyone ran along the ditch with all their might.

Those foxes didn't chase after them, if it weren't for the old fox communicating with the foxes to let them know that we didn't have malicious intentions, it would be difficult to get out tonight...

"Master, I didn't find the thing that came out of the altar, how can I save those two women?" When I got back in the car, I asked.

"We'll talk about it then."

Master turned on the two pieces of yellow paper against the roof light of the carriage. A few people didn't even dare to come out, except for Yuxin driving, the three of us all stared at the master's face.

"How?" I couldn't help but ask, "Is there a way to deal with the river god?" ”

From Master's face, I couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow, and after a while, Master said slowly, "Yes..."
