"What's wrong?" I hurriedly asked.

"Look there." Miss Bai shook her flashlight.

When I looked at the flashlight, I saw a stone corner faintly peeking out of the wet mud on the left, which was about two meters away from me. I walked over and picked at it with my hand, but I didn't move, so I dug with a shovel. Gradually, a stone tablet was revealed. The stele was polished with bluestone, and it was very smooth, about a foot wide. There are many small characters engraved on the stele, and it seems that this is the temple stele of this fox fairy temple.

Scrape off the soil on the stele, only to see that the stele is engraved with very small characters, carefully identify..."I was turned into a strange picture by the fox fairy, solve the flood of the Yellow River, benefit the people on both sides of the river, in order to repay the kindness of the fox fairy, so build this temple...", behind is the process of building the temple, some words are not clear, and finally the signature and date of the temple builder, 'Gao Qien', 'the ninth day of June in the sixth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty'...

I stared blankly at the monument in front of me, and my heart was excited, could it be that this Gao Qien is the ancestor of the Gao family? The 'picture' of the 'fox fairy gift' is the map of the ancient river? … However, why didn't he build the temple in Gaojia Village, but built it here? …

"Hey, is the tall man buried in the ancestral grave in the back mountain of your Gaojia Village named Gao Qien?" I asked Gao Fushuai.

Gao Fushuai was squatting in the corner of the temple and dozing off, his saliva was about to fall, and when he heard me scream, he woke up suddenly, scratched his head and thought for a while.

"What's the name, I forgot, anyway, the surname is Gao."

"Nonsense, if your ancestor of the Gao family is not surnamed Gao, is he still surnamed Li? …”

"Ah Leng, look."

"Huh?"

Miss Bai shone her flashlight upwards, and I looked over and saw a broken rafter hanging there, and there was a large hole in the roof of the temple where the rafter was originally located, which had been formed by the collapse of the earth, revealing the roof mat woven with rattan and grass that covered the roof of the temple. Depending on the situation, this bluestone temple stele was originally supported on the top of the temple with rafters and sealed with soil, and after the rafters broke, it fell down.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Miss Bai asked.

"What's weird?"

Miss Bai pointed to the big hole above the top of the temple where I was before, "The top mat on the top of this temple is very strong, and the rafters are broken in other places, and they have not collapsed into the sky, why is there such a hole here?" ”

"It's weird... Well, I'll climb to the top of the temple and have a look. ”

"I'll go when the rain is lighter." Miss Bai grabbed me, "Dig out this stele first and see if there is anything engraved on the back." ”

I shoveled down from the side of the monument, and after a few diggings, the shovel poked into the void. I couldn't help but be stunned, threw the shovel to the side, grabbed the edge of the stone tablet and lifted it up, revealing a black hole. The hole was inclined downward, the entrance of the hole was about the thickness of a child's waist, the further down it became, the bigger it became, there were many scratches on the wall of the cave, and it was dug out of the ground by some kind of 'thing', and when it was about half a foot away from the ground, the 'thing' suddenly burst out of the ground...

I looked at the hole in the ground, and then at the hole in the roof of the temple diagonally, and finally it dawned on me. After this 'thing' broke through the surface, it also broke through the roof of the temple...

I took the flashlight from Miss Bai and shone it into the cave, only to see that the hole was about seven or eight meters long, and there seemed to be another space under the hole. I put my hand into the cave and touched the wall of the cave, and the tentacles were slimy, and I put it to my nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, it was that kind of thing, exactly like the thing in the dirt before... Could it be that an evil man has come out of the ground? How could there be evil under the Fox Immortal Temple? …

I handed the flashlight to Miss Bai, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll go down and have a look." ”

"I'll go down with you." Miss Bai said.

I thought about it for a moment and nodded in a deep voice. After digging the hole wide, I took out a piece of yellow paper from my bag, lit it and threw it into the hole to test the air. After feeling that there was no problem with the air quality inside, I took a 'Yiqi Yin Talisman' used to deal with evil spirits in my hand, and held the seven-star sword and flashlight in my other hand, and drilled into the hole under my head and feet.

My nose was filled with the fishy smell of mucus from the cave walls, and I crept forward cautiously, and little by little I came to the bottom of the cave, and a large space appeared in front of me. I shone my flashlight around, and before I could see what it was, I slid down.

The entrance of the cave was more than a meter high from the ground, and because the slide was so fast, I didn't have time to hold the ground with my hands, and my face hit the ground heavily. As soon as the nose was sore, tears came out.

As soon as I supported my body with my arms and was about to get up, Miss Bai fell down and smashed me to the ground. The nose was on the ground again, and this time, the nosebleed came out.

"Ah Leng, are you alright?"

Miss Bai jumped aside, pulled me up, and asked eagerly.

"No... It's okay...", I said vaguely, covering my nose.

Miss Bai hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help me wipe the nosebleed, and it took a while to stop the nosebleed, I wiped my tears and said with a smile, "This is called Shi Weijie's nosebleed, and the pain is full of tears." ”

"You lazy."

Miss Bai pushed me and looked around, "What kind of place is this?" ”

I climbed down the hole before, and I was very nervous in my heart, but after such a fuss just now, my spirit relaxed, and now I heard Miss Bai say this, and I tensed up again. Shine a flashlight around, only to see that this is actually a temple, a temple located under the Fox Fairy Temple!

The area of this temple in front of me is twice as large as the fox fairy temple above, but it is very simple, and the earthen walls of the four walls have traces of ramming, which is very strong. Probably to prevent collapse, there is a wooden board on the top, which looks very thick, but it has rotted out of shape. It was supported by more than a dozen pillars, each of which was coated with a mud-like thing, and I picked off a piece and sniffed it, faintly smelling of Chinese herbs, which should be to prevent insects.

In the middle of the north wall of the temple is a tall altar, on which is a statue of a god made of clay, judging from the bulging chest, it is a woman, dressed in a wide 'garment', with a very strange face, large ears, bulging eyes, as if closed, and long, lips thick and long, a bit like the kind of ancient human portraits I saw in books when I was a child.

At the bottom of the statue is an altar, about half a meter high, one meter square, there are a lot of slimy things on the altar, and there is a black hole in the middle, about two or three meters deep, and a fishy smell jumps up from the bottom. It looks like the 'thing' came out of this altar...

"Ah Leng, come and see here." Miss Bai stood next to the idol and pointed behind the idol and said.

I went around and shone it with a flashlight, only to see that there were snake-like things behind the statue, and when I looked closely, it was not a snake at all, but a tail. I counted them, and there were nine.

"It's a nine-tailed fox!"

Suddenly, I thought of something, shone my flashlight, and looked at the temple room again. That's when I found something out of the ordinary. The pillars, the twelve pillars that support the roof of the temple, are not arranged randomly. Standing next to the statue of the god and looking at the past, if you cut off the middle one and connect the other seven together, it is a spoon shape, representing the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and the four outer ones are divided into the four directions of south, east, west, and north, plus the middle one, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The twelve pillars together form a five-element seven-star array. This is an ancient formation that suppresses evil spirits, using the power of the five elements to urge the seven stars to suppress evil things. The North Star position is the eye of the Five Elements and Seven Star Array. The altar is in the eye of the five elements and seven stars array in the temple room. That is to say, this array was used to suppress what was under the altar, but right now, it is gone...

In addition to the pillars, there are many pots and pots scattered in the corners of the temple room, all of which are made of clay. Some of the pots were engraved with hieroglyphs, and one of the large pots had a picture on it, and the picture was very simple, with a few strokes of a person. In the picture, a large group of people are standing next to something that looks like a river with various tools in their hands, and one of them, a very tall man with no tools in his hand, looks like he is directing them...

"This should be the scene when Dayu controlled the water..."I looked at the statue and muttered, "I seem to know what is being suppressed under the altar." ”

"What is it?" Miss Bai asked.

"The nine-tailed fox... Legend has it that after Dayu suppressed the river god in the Yellow River, he didn't send a nine-tailed fox to guard the river god, the so-called pie, in fact, the town, this temple should be built by Dayu, he town a thing here, used to contain the river god under the riverbed. I think that this temple must have been built on the ground, and the Yellow River must have been wider than it is now, and this temple was located on the river beach, which was later buried by silt. It seems that the tall man should have gotten the ancient river map in this area, and that map was probably originally from this temple. As for how the tall man was 'enlightened by the fox fairy', I don't know... I understand that the piece of land where the Fox Immortal Temple is located must have been dug by the tall man's 'Fox Immortal', and it took such a large area to finally dig out the ancient river map. If he had dug a few more meters deeper, he would have dug up the temple. ”

"There seems to be some truth to what you're saying." Miss Bai said, "However, I think it may not be the nine-tailed fox that was originally suppressed in this altar. ”

"Regardless of whether it is or not, in short, depending on the situation, the river map is real, then, whether we find it or not, anyway, what we are doing is not useless. Let's go, let's go up, first go back to Gaojia Village to help Xiang Feng and them find the picture, and then find a way to rescue the rich and handsome old lady and his wife, and then try to see if we can find this thing that ran out of the altar..."

We climbed down the diagonal hole to the Fox Fairy Temple above, and the two of us took a big breath of fresh air. The rain was still falling, and the rainwater that fell from the hole in the roof pooled into a stream of water that flowed down the root of the wall and outside.

"Huh? What about the rich and handsome, what about the bastard? ”

"When I went down behind you just now, I saw him curled up in the corner and sleeping." Miss Bai said.

I had a vague feeling in my heart that something was wrong, "Let's go, let's go out and find him." ”

Out of the ruined temple, we came to a high place, it was pitch black all around, the sound of rain was dripping, and the mist was everywhere. I shouted five or six times, but there was no response at all.

"Yuxin helped me take care of it, and I made a decision."
