At five o'clock in the morning, the loud singing in the loudspeaker of the school woke up Gucheng High School from the early morning mist, the students in turn from the dormitory on the hillside to the playground at the school gate, the teachers have been waiting in the playground, this is the daily routine morning exercise time of Gucheng High School, the school system stipulates that in order to improve the physical fitness of students, gather at five o'clock every morning, start running exercise in the playground on time at five o'clock in the morning, the teacher should go to the playground in advance to supervise and inspect the work, and find that the students who violate the rules are dealt with according to the school rules. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At the assembly position of the seventh class of the first year of high school, neatly lined up in two rows, Zhang Jiayang, a member of the sports committee, stood in front of the team and shouted to the team: "All of them, stand up!"

I only heard the sound of the two rows of students with their feet together at the same time, their chests and abdomen, and their eyes ahead.

"Take a breath and count from left to right. Zhang Jiayang then shouted.

"One, two, three, four...... Fifty-eight, fifty-nine. A shout from a high and a low broke the silence of the playground, and the sound stopped at fifty-nine o'clock.

"Little Zhuge , little Zhuge ......" Zhang Jiayang carefully looked at the team and shouted at the team, but did not hear an answer.

"Report to the teacher, there should be sixty people in the seventh class of high school, but there are fifty-nine people, Gu Shijie is absent for some reason. Zhang Jiayang turned around and ran to Shi Lao and said, today Shi Lao is in charge of the supervision and inspection of the seventh class of high school.

"Okay, you guys start running exercises, I'll go to the dormitory to see if Xiao Zhuge hasn't gotten up yet." Shi Lao said and turned around and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

"Turn right, run and walk, one, two, one, one, one, one, ......one, one

Shi Lao walked to the middle of the ancient building on the hillside of the school, and walked skillfully to the first floor of Building 3 along the path in the middle of the ancient building, which is the dormitory area of the first year of high school, and the men's dormitory of the seventh class of high school occupies a total of three rooms.

"Shi Lao, are you looking for Xiao Zhuge ? I just saw him go in the direction of Building 20. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his forties replied at the door, Shi Lao saw that this was the janitor of the boys' dormitory building, Lao Li, who was still single in his forties, took the school as his home, and worked in the school for more than 20 years.

"Okay, I'll go and take a look, I don't know why this kid didn't participate in the morning exercise. Shi Lao said as he walked towards Building 20.

When Shi Lao appeared in front of Building 20, the morning sun had not yet begun to sprinkle on the earth, and the looming morning mist was still drifting around the ancient building of No. 20, making the ancient building more mysterious and quiet; suddenly, Shi Lao slowed down as if he remembered something, he thought that the building was neither a dormitory for students and teachers, nor a teacher's office, and no one usually came to this building, what was Xiao Zhuge doing here. I heard the principal say that this building used to be the place where the emperor of the Han Dynasty lived, and later changed it into a school, first of all, he was converted into a dormitory, and both teachers and students who lived in it were always "knocked dong" downstairs in the middle of the night The drum woke up, and after waking up, it was quiet and abnormal, and then it was changed to the teachers' office, but in less than a year, four teachers in a row became mentally abnormal for some reason, and they could no longer continue teaching and left the school, and then the gossip began to spread, saying that it was because it was the place where the emperor lived before, and ordinary ordinary people could not enjoy this blessed land, so abnormal events were inevitable. Later, there was a person who didn't believe in this evil, and forced his bedroom to move to room 101 on the first floor of the 20th floor, he was Wang Youfu, who lived for more than ten years, and it was strange to say that Wang Youfu had nothing to do, and now the whole building has become his territory.

"Could it be that Gu Shijie went to Building 20 to find Teacher Wang Youfu?" Shi Lao said to himself in confusion, "No, what should he take a leave of absence today?"

"Gu Shijie, Gu Shijie......" In a blink of an eye, Shi Lao walked to the side of Building 20 and shouted into the corridor, and what answered Shi Lao was only the silence in the corridor.

Shi Lao walked a few steps forward to the door of Building 20, gently pushed the door, and found that the door of the corridor was hidden, so he raised his feet and went in, the lights in the corridor flickered and shone brightly, and then walked to Room 101 on the first floor, and found that there was a light inside, he knocked lightly on the door, and there was no answer in the room.

"Where is Mr. Wang?" Shi Lao said to himself, "Oh, he may have gone to the playground to participate in the exercise, you see my memory." ”

Shi Lao pushed the door while talking to himself, the door creaked open, Shi Lao saw that the room was empty, just a table, a chair and a **, next to the table put a wooden box, the whole room is also neat and simple, seeing that there is no Xiao Zhuge figure, Shi Lao turned around and closed the door to check the other rooms on the first floor, although the other rooms are not inhabited, but they are also very clean and tidy, Shi Lao thought, or Mr. Wang is diligent, clean this room clean.

"Shi Lao, where are you?" Shi Lao was about to go up to the second floor to look for it, when he suddenly heard a voice looking for him at the entrance of the corridor, and immediately turned around and walked to the entrance of the corridor, and saw Xiao Zhuge looking into the corridor at the door.

"Xiao Zhuge , why didn't you participate in the morning exercise today, where did you go to make trouble, let me look for it for a while, and be careful of being punished by the school rules. Shi Lao said to Xiao Zhuge with a somewhat serious expression.

"Old Shi, please be kind to your subordinates, you always turn a blind eye and don't report, won't everything be fine, hehehe. Xiao Zhuge said coquettishly and looked at Shi Lao with a smile.

"You little kids, you know how to be naughty. If there is anything in the future, you have to ask for leave in advance, and the next time you encounter something that is not supervised and inspected by me, you will have a good look. Shi Lao said seriously while pretending to be serious. Shi Lao looked at Xiao Zhuge this proud student, and wanted to be angry but couldn't get angry; although Shi Lao and these proud students in the class have only been getting along for more than half a year, they have cultivated an intimate relationship between teachers and students, and they are also close to father and son.

"Shi Lao, let me tell you that I saw a strange animal in the morning, I just got up at about 5 o'clock this morning to go to the toilet, and found that there was a black shadow like a cat not a cat, like a dog not a dog squatting in the corner of the toilet. Xiao Zhuge turned to Shi Lao to explain the reason for not doing morning exercises, and then said: "I felt strange, so I quietly leaned up, and found that he had a horn on his head, and his tail was as big as a squirrel and like wings, I was about to go up to take a closer look, probably because a group of classmates rushed to the playground and ran past this side to make a noise that disturbed it, only to see it "whoosh" in front of me, I followed closely behind, only to see it flash left and flash into Building 20, and when I chased to the bottom of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, there was no trace of the strange animal. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhuge hung his head and drooped his head with a frustrated expression, unfortunately he didn't see it clearly.

"What happened later?" Shi Lao was also attracted by his experience, and couldn't wait to ask.

"I was about to go to the bottom of the stairs to continue searching, suddenly I heard the sound of stones knocking outside the window of the stairs, I thought it could be this strange animal running to the back of the building, so I went to the back of the building to take a look, not I saw nothing, I heard Lao Li say that you were looking for me just now. ”

At this moment, Wang Youfu walked up from below, and when he saw Shi Lao and Xiao Zhuge talking here, he came over to say hello: "Shi Lao, good morning, what order is being given to Xiao Zhuge ?" ”

"Teacher Wang, be careful, I saw a strange animal running into your building just now, don't be startled by it. Xiao Zhuge looked at Teacher Wang with concerned eyes.

"Oh, what animal dares to come into this building, do you think that I live here alone and come and be my companion? Teacher Wang was surprised but jokingly said.

"Let's go in and see what is going on. Teacher Wang said and pulled Shi Lao, and Xiao Zhuge led the way to the corridor together.

Xiao Zhuge took the two teachers and walked to the corner of the staircase in the innermost part of the staircase, there is a space of about three square meters below the back of the staircase, the height is high and low according to the shape of the staircase, and some sundries are stored in the innermost, and the sundries are covered with some very new woven bags on the outside.

"Teacher, I chased that strange animal to this place and disappeared. Xiao Zhuge glanced behind him and said to the two teachers.

"Knock, knock, knock......" Shi Lao took a wooden stick from nowhere and knocked it on the ground where the debris was placed a few times, and the sound of knock knock was the sound of knock knock to answer them, and the rest was deathly silence.

"How many times have I fallen on the road, how many times have I broken my wings......" Suddenly, Wang Feng's song "Blooming Life" sounded, and the three of them jumped back suddenly, and Shi Lao calmed down before realizing that it was his mobile phone ringtone that remembered.

"Hey, wife, okay, go over immediately......" Shi Lao took out his mobile phone and said, his wife asked him to go to the canteen for breakfast together, turned to Wang Youfu and Xiao Zhuge and said: "Hear it, my 'superior' asked me to go over and eat together, this strange animal is probably Xiao Zhuge was dazzled, maybe it was a wild cat coming down from the mountain or something, let's disperse." ”

"Okay, go back and wash your face, it's time for us to go to dinner, hehehe. Wang Youfu and Xiao Zhuge understood and looked at each other and replied with a smile.

Shi Lao's wife is a math teacher in the school, named Wen Qian, it is said that when she was young, she was a beauty in ten miles and eight towns, even now she is a beautiful old lady, because her father was born as a landlord, so she was born in New China She is always full of disasters, the two of them were escorted to the street in a special period when they met, at that time, the same was the end of the world, and soon had a good impression, and then it became a loving couple, when the ancient city high school wanted to hire Shi Lao to teach, I accidentally learned that Shi Lao's wife had also learned some culture with her father, and later went to high school in the provincial capital for a few yearsOver the past 30 years, the couple has lived up to the expectations of the school, and devoted their energy to their work, "excellent teacher", "model of teaching and educating people", "advanced model of spiritual civilization", ...... and so on a series of honors have filled the entire struggle of the two for more than 30 years, and now they are all over the world, and what has not changed so far is the relationship between the two people like their first love. The three of them parted tacitly.

"Students, today's class is here, don't forget to complete the homework assigned today, and get out of class!" With the sound of the math teacher Wen Qian, the students rushed out of the classroom like arrows, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the day's class was finally over, and the children who had been tossed for a day could finally let go.

"Teacher Wen, did Shi Lao tell you about the morning? I really saw that animal, but unfortunately Shi Lao didn't believe it. Xiao Zhuge suddenly walked up to Teacher Wen Qian, who had not yet come and walked out of the classroom, and said.

"Oh, Shi Lao told me about it at dinner in the morning, Shi Lao thought it might be that you want to find a reason to avoid morning exercises, but don't worry, I still believe you, teacher. I know that you are an honest child, and you will have to participate in morning exercises on time in the future, exercise well, and only when you are in good health can you make greater contributions to the motherland. Come on!" Teacher Wen smiled at Xiao Zhuge after saying that, and then walked out of the classroom.

Teacher Wen said that Xiao Zhuge felt warm in his heart, as if he had suddenly become a big hero of the motherland, and turned around to see several classmates standing behind him.

"Little Zhuge , what did you see in the morning? Tell us about it. Liu Fangfei, Zhang Jiayang, and Heihu surrounded Xiao Zhuge in the middle and couldn't wait to ask.

"Oh, shhh......h

"It's a pity, you just heard what Mr. Wen said, Old Man Shi and his old man became suspicious of me and didn't believe me at all. Xiao Zhuge lowered his head just now and said weakly.

"Little Zhuge Gu Shijie, how did you get your nickname, there are so many ghost ideas, isn't there a way to make Shi Lao believe in himself?" Liu Fangfei on the side said to Xiao Zhuge intentionally or unintentionally.

A sentence woke up the person in the dream, Xiao Zhuge was thinking, this little thing is not difficult for me, and scratched his head with his hand intentionally or unintentionally and said: "Unless, unless ......"

"Unless what?" The crowd urged.

"Unless we catch this strange animal, or get the surveillance video of this animal, so that there are pictures and truths, I can't help but believe it. Xiao Zhuge 's words aroused the curiosity of several people.

"Okay, this suggestion is good, Xiao Zhuge you can assign the task, a few of us are your good brothers and sisters will definitely help you." Liu Fangfei, Zhang Jiayang, and Black Tiger all replied in unison.

"Okay, thank you brothers, I know that the dormitory area and office area on our mountain are full of surveillance cameras, and the collected images will be stored on the computer in the 101 monitoring room of Building 1, and the monitoring room is also Lao Li's place of residence, if we ask Lao Li directly, it may be a little troublesome, it is better to ......" Xiao Zhuge said this, let the three people come over and muttered in a low voice, and then the four of them smiled knowingly.

Let's say that the four of them went to the school cafeteria together to have a quick dinner, and saw Lao Li walking out of the cafeteria with a rice bowl alone, and walked slowly towards his room, the four of them exchanged glances and acted separately, when Lao Li opened his door, one foot in the door, and one foot outside the door, Xiao Zhuge and Liu Fangfei ran over to him, panting and said:" Uncle Li, no, Black Tiger and Zhang Jiayang are in Building 20 in order to argue about who is the most powerful NBA star, neither of us listens to them, I heard that you always know the NBA best, or you go over to persuade it, calm the mood of both of them, if you go late, you may fight, if you fight, you may be punished by school rules, woo woo woo ......" Speaking of this, Liu Fangfei also squeezed out two tears.

"Oh, you children, you can't leave the adults, okay, this matter is on Uncle Li, and I promise not to let them fight. Lao Li saw that Liu Fangfei's beautiful face was covered with pear blossoms and rain, and it was even more difficult for him to shirk as an elder.

"Okay, Uncle Li, Fang Fei will take you over with you, and I'll watch the door for you first. Xiao Zhuge said as he took his rice bowl from Lao Li's hand, and then sat on the chair where Lao Li was often on duty, putting on a posture of sticking to his post.

"Good boy, I am really thoughtful for Uncle Li, there may be someone from the school guard room who will deliver the newspaper in a while, if I can't come back in time, you can help me receive it." Lao Li gently patted Xiao Zhuge on the head as he spoke, and followed Liu Fangfei towards Building 20.

As soon as Lao Li and Liu Fangfei walked on the front foot, Xiao Zhuge was busy in this monitoring room, took out the prepared USB disk, plugged it into the monitoring computer, and began to look for it in the hard disk of the computer.

"You two kids, I said, in the current state of the NBA, LeBron James must be better than Kobe Bryant because he is young and in good physical condition, but Kobe is also one of the strongest in the history of the NBA. Don't quarrel when you go back, take classes well, and when you grow up, you will naturally understand that behind every strong person is the contribution of extraordinary people, and some people are not easy to compare. ”

Hearing Lao Li's voice, Xiao Zhuge immediately got up from the chair and went out, and saw Lao Li, Heihu, Zhang Jiayang, and Liu Fangfei coming over with a smile.

"Thank you Uncle Li for your teachings, we went to study at night. Heihu and Zhang Jiayang said to Lao Li together, then squeezed their eyes at Liu Fangfei and Xiao Zhuge and ran towards the classroom at the bottom of the mountain together.

"You children, hehe!" came Lao Li's contented laughter behind the children.

It turned out that this was the ghost idea that Xiao Zhuge came up with in the classroom, and the surveillance video was easily copied, and the rest was to look for traces of strange animals in the video.

At seven o'clock in the evening, during the evening self-study time, while the students were not paying attention, Liu Fangfei, Zhang Jiayang, Heihu, Xiao Zhuge sneaked out of the classroom, flew to the electronic reading room of the library on the third floor of the school administration building, the school library is open to all teachers and students free of charge from 8 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening, in order to prepare students and teachers to inquire about the use of information, the electronic reading room is more special, the computer in addition to querying the school's internal database, but also for students and teachers to use for after-school entertainment, naturally the information in the USB disk can also be read; the librarian on duty today is the gentle and dignified teacher Shi Mei, Shi Mei is a woman in her fifties, after retiring from the teaching position, she gave up her feelings for the children, and later was rehired by the school to do the errand of librarian at her request, watching the children in the school close their mouths happily every day.

When the four weird elf children ran in front of her, he recognized these four at a glance as students in the seventh class of high school, and immediately smiled and said, "Children, why didn't you study at night?"

"Hello Mr. Shi, when a few of us were studying at night, we encountered some difficult problems and needed to come to the library to find some materials to find the truth. Xiao Zhuge said in front of a few people.

"Hehehe, okay, if there is a problem, find a way to solve it immediately, okay, take the student card and swipe it on it to go in to find the truth." Mr. Shi pointed to the registration electronic scanner on the library management desk and said with a smile.

Find an empty computer in the electronic reading room and sit down, and then four people gather together, plug the USB disk into the computer, the first thing to see is this morning's surveillance video, the surveillance video shows that at about 5 o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark, fortunately, there are sporadic street lights on the path in the middle of the ancient building on the hillside, and suddenly I saw a fire-like thing fluttering from a distance to the toilet, and when it was close to the camera, the whole appearance is not like any animal seen in daily life, you can clearly identify that there is a horn on the head, a long and big tail, the animal's waist seems to have wings, ten minutes laterSeeing Xiao Zhuge running in the direction of Building 20 on the hillside, the four children were suddenly shocked and then snickered again, Xiao Zhuge could finally redeem his dignity in Shi Lao's mind. Then I looked at the surveillance video of the previous few days, and for a whole week, from 4 to 5 o'clock in the morning, this strange animal flew through this video, and then ran in the direction of Building 20, this phenomenon made the children full of curiosity and exploration puzzled, full of anticipation for the unknown truth.

"I must tell Shi Lao and Teacher Wang about this matter, one is to prove my innocence in front of Shi Lao, and the other is to let Teacher Wang pay attention to the danger of this strange animal. After reading it, Xiao Zhuge said to Liu Fangfei, Black Tiger, and Zhang Jiayang.

"Makes sense, we support your choice. The three of them echoed in unison.

(3)

Two flowers bloom, one branch each, in the morning Shi Lao in the dormitory to deal with Xiao Zhuge absenteeism, and then routinely accompany his wife to the cafeteria to finish breakfast, thinking that he has no class arrangements this morning, he went to his own office in the No. 18 ancient building on the hillside to correct the students' homework, concentrated on the morning busy, put down the pen in his hand, lazily raised his hands and stretched his waist, suddenly heard a knock on the door, Shi Lao thought that it might be a student to ask questions, so he said slowly: "That one, please come in." ”

"History... History... Old... No... No... Well, my dorm... Noisy... Thief, my priceless one... Baby... It's gone. Shi Lao was surprised to see Wang Youfu hurriedly push the door and walk in, his face flushed with excitement and he said intermittently. "I's... Baby... But... It took a lot of money... The power of the two tigers... Got it, this now puts me... Sold... All... It's not worth it... These babes... Money. ”

"Teacher Wang, drink saliva, don't worry, say slowly, what treasure is so valuable?" Shi Lao immediately poured a glass of water and put it in front of Wang Youfu, wanting Wang Youfu to calm down.

Wang Youfu picked up the water cup and drank a cup of water with a low face, then patted his chest lightly with his hand, took a deep breath and said: "Do you remember, the pair of Han Dynasty jade pots I showed you half a year ago, and there is a jade box with some engraved bamboo slips in it. ”

"Remember, remember, I said at the time that it was the Han Dynasty is not wrong at all, because there are very few such artifacts in the world now, so it is priceless, especially the engraved bamboo slips have high historical research value. When it comes to those few antiques, Shi Lao still remembers it vividly, and remembers that it was like a dream in his hand at the time, and he couldn't put it down, "Why, didn't you say that those treasures were identified by acquaintances, why are they still in your hands after half a year?"

"Shi Lao, ashamed, those treasures are nephew Wang Xicai's boy I don't know where to get it, I went to his house once, and accidentally saw these things in his room, I took it in my hand and looked at it carefully for half an hour, Xicai this kid is still filial piety, seeing that I can't put it down, he waved his hand and said that he gave it all to me, I saw him so generous, I thought it was a fake, and I took it to you for identification. Wang Youfu told Shi Lao the ins and outs of the matter as if he had done something wrong.

"Then call the police, no, the source of national cultural relics is not clear, and it is not good to have a lawsuit, call on all the staff of the school to find it together, no, the scope of knowledge cannot be too large, otherwise the rumors will inevitably spread to the public security department, it seems that this matter is only solved by ourselves." Shi Lao said to himself while thinking.

"Shi Lao, I came to you because I couldn't call the police, don't shirk, you must help me find a way to recover the lost treasure, now I have no master. Wang Youfu shouted eagerly, as if a dying man standing on the edge of a cliff suddenly saw Shi Lao's life-saving straw and held on tightly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, if it's our colleague, I will do my best to help you find the treasure. Shi Lao held Wang Youfu's hand tightly and said with a resolute face, "Let's go, let's go to the scene of your lost treasure to investigate and see if there are any clues to crack." ”

Shi Lao ********, the two of them walked out of Building 18 Shi Lao's office together, walking on the path to Building 20 in the middle of the ancient building, the shadows of the branches on both sides of the mother-in-law were reflected on the path, and the mountain wind was blowing and shaking, although it was spring in March, the weather in the Central Plains was still a little cool, the cold wind blew on Shi Lao and Mr. Wang, and the two of them could not help but shiver, Shi Lao wrapped his coat and accelerated the pace of walking.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at Wang Youfu's dormitory, Room 101 of Building 20, the furnishings are simple, it is still a table, a chair and a **, Shi Lao thought to himself, I came to see it in the morning, there was not much change, but the position of the wooden box next to the table had changed.

"Teacher Wang, where did you keep your baby?" asked Shi Lao after looking around the room.

"I've been here for half a year, and I take it out every morning and evening, and I looked at it this morning, but at noon I came back from the classroom and found that the box was not in the right place, so I hurriedly looked at it and found that there was nothing in it. Wang Youfu pointed to the wooden box and said.

"Did you find anything else unusual when you came back at noon?" Shi Lao then asked.

"There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, and the lock on the door of this dormitory is intact, by the way, it seems that there is a sound of pounding stones in the hallway, or behind the window. Wang Youfu recalled while thinking. "But my mind was completely messed up at the time, and as soon as I found out that the treasure was missing, I immediately went to look for you. ”

"The sound of knocking stones!" Shi Lao's heart was suddenly shocked when he heard this, in the morning Xiao Zhuge said that he had heard the sound of beating stones when he chased strange animals here, it seemed that Xiao Zhuge had heard correctly.

Shi Lao's mind was like a calm lake suddenly blowing a twelve-level typhoon waves, those priceless antiques, if it disappeared inexplicably like this, it would be a pity, in the case of non-proliferation of the scope, determined to find out this matter in a short period of time, as if an invisible hand involved itself in this fog, now firmly believe that it is his bounden duty to find out this matter, and suddenly remembered the language on the stolen bamboo slips with engraved words:" Six hundred in the northeast of Maoling lead to the organic room, yin and yang are positive, time is down, you can go back to the Han Dynasty, yin and yang turn, you can travel in all directions, and my emperor can enter the fairyland. Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Youfu's sad face and said, "Teacher Wang, please rest assured, I have decided this matter, and I will try my best to help you find out about it." ”

"Shi Lao, I'm in a mess now, please give me an idea, what should I do next?" Wang Youfu is now like a deflated ball, and his whole soul has been hollowed out.

"Keep your life as it is, don't let the scope of knowledge expand, this will be of great help to us to find clues of anomalies, you should also pay attention to the movements around you at night, and tell me immediately if there is anything abnormal. Shi Lao patted Wang Youfu on the shoulder and said.

"Yes, yes, yes. Wang Youfu listened to Shi Lao's words and nodded again and again.

"Okay, I still have classes to go to class in the afternoon, I'll go first, take care, don't think too much, I'll definitely help you find out about this matter." Shi Lao shook Wang Youfu's hand tightly with a strong hand, then turned around and walked out of Building 20.

At more than eight o'clock in the evening, Shi Lao rummaged through the school's historical archives in the archives of the library of the administrative building, and suddenly turned out a yellowed drawing from the folder of a school infrastructure atlas file, because the age has been yellowed and discolored, and the orientation and structure of the 20 ancient buildings on the hillside were clearly marked on it, and it was found from the drawings that buildings 1 to 19 were all on the flat ground at the waist of the hillside, arranged in four rows in turn, only Building 20 was built at the highest point of the hillside, backed by the mountain, sitting north to south, Shi Lao stared at this drawing for half an hour, and then smiled slightly, took this picture to the front desk and let the teacher Shi Mei on duty make a copy。

Shi Lao walked downstairs with the information found from the database, and as soon as he arrived at the staircase, he saw Zhang Jiayang, Liu Fangfei, Heihu, and Xiao Zhuge walking out of the electronic reading room with a smile on their faces, and the four children also saw Shi Lao.

"Shi Lao Hao!" The four children stood respectfully in front of Shi Lao and greeted him in unison.

"Why didn't you study at night, what are you doing here?" Shi Lao asked with concern when he saw the four proud disciples.

"Old Shi, we were talking about looking for you, we now have first-hand information, which can prove that I did see that strange animal in the morning, and I really didn't lie!" Xiao Zhuge leaned in front of Shi Lao and said eagerly.

"Oh, what first-hand information, let my old man open his eyes. Shi Lao asked Xiao Zhuge in surprise.

"It's all in here!" Xiao Zhuge said and took out a USB drive and shook it in the air.

"Let's go to my office and take a look. Shi Lao said to the four children in understanding, and the children also knew that Shi Lao's office was equipped with computers.

In Shi Lao's office, the surveillance video on the computer surprised Shi Lao, and the frequent appearance of strange animals in the past week really made him puzzled.

After watching the video, Shi Lao looked at the four children and said, "Do you want to know what this strange animal is?"

"Of course. ”

"Okay, let me make the arrangement, tomorrow morning we will see if the animal will still appear, find out the specific path of its appearance, and then lay a net on the path it must pass or choose the opportunity to strike. Speaking of this, Shi Lao made a gesture of grabbing his hands together.

"Everything is arranged by Shi Lao. The four children said in unison.

"At four o'clock tomorrow morning, Zhang Jiayang and Liu Fangfei hid behind Building 15 to observe, Heihu and Xiao Zhuge hid next to Building 19 to observe, and I observed at the back of Building 20. After arranging the work of the four children, Shi Lao said: "It's not too early, you all go to rest early, don't forget to be there on time at four o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, come on. The four children and Shi Lao's hands clasped tightly together as a sign of encouragement.

(4)

In the blink of an eye, the hour hand pointed to four o'clock in the morning of the next day, and Shi Lao and the four children were higher than the school regulations** The time got up an hour early, everyone was in place, the first to find was Shi Lao, he stayed in the corner of the wall behind Building 20, and found a strange unicorn floating out of the back window of Building 20, and then fell to the ground as if walking, like flying but not flying, thick and dense tail raised high, under the tail as if there were wings up and down, fluttering towards the direction of Building 15, Shi Lao moved his body slightly and just touched the broken bricks and tiles on the ground, the unicorn turned his head to look in the direction of Shi Lao, cracked his mouth, and the whole body turned into flame red in an instant, revealing two sharp teeth, which made people shudder under the dim light。

Shi Lao quietly followed the unicorn's fluttering trajectory and moved synchronously, seeing the monster slowly drifting over Building 15, then drifting over Building 19, and finally slowly drifting back to Building 20, when Shi Lao shouted Zhang Jiayang and Liu Fangfei hidden in Building 15, Liu Fangfei was already so frightened that he fainted in Zhang Jiayang's arms, Shi Lao whispered to Zhang Jiayang to take care of Liu Fangfei, and then went to see the black tiger and Xiao Zhuge hidden next to Building 19。

"Black Tiger and Xiao Zhuge pick up something and come with me. Shi Lao shouted softly at the two, it turned out that these two had already prepared wooden sticks in their hands, ready to fight the unicorn.

"Okay, Shi Lao. The two followed Shi Lao and ran into Building 20.

The unicorn heard the sound of three people running, and quickly floated to the bottom of the stairs on the first floor, the three of them looked at this situation, and quickly chased down the stairs, but the unicorn was nowhere to be found, Shi Lao took a look at the bottom of the stairs through the faint light in the corridor, and the furnishings he saw yesterday morning were no different.

"Who is making a noise in the corridor?" Shi Lao and the three of them turned around and saw Wang Youfu rubbing his sleepy eyes in the corridor and said here.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, I slept well yesterday, did there any abnormality?" Shi Lao asked eagerly when he saw Wang Youfu standing in the corridor.

"Shi Lao, don't mention it, I followed your instructions, I didn't have a good rest all night yesterday, I listened very carefully to see if there was any abnormal phenomenon, except for the sound of hitting stones from time to time, I didn't hear anything, I couldn't stay up and fell asleep when it was almost dawn, and I woke up when I just heard the sound of your running. Wang Youfu rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, trying to get rid of his sleepiness as soon as possible.

"Shhhh......h

"Bang, Bang - Bang, Bang, Bang ......" Several people heard the sound of hitting stones at the same time, the sound seemed to be under their feet, and it seemed to be behind Building 20, and after a while, the sound of hitting stones gradually weakened.

"Shi Lao, Shi Lao, where are you?" Zhang Jiayang's voice sounded outside the building, Shi Lao and the other four hurriedly walked out of Building 20 and saw Zhang Jiayang and Liu Fangfei standing at the door of the corridor.

"Good morning, Mr. Wang, you have also been woken up. Zhang Jiayang saw Wang Youfu and everyone coming out of the corridor together, first greeted him, and then said: " After Fang Fei woke up, the two of us came to look for you together, thinking that a few of you chased to the back of Building 20, I ran to the hillside behind Building 20, and found that there was a black shadow shaking on the hillside, and by the faint light reflected in the courtyard, I could only see that the black shadow was wearing black clothes all over the body, and when the two of me approached quietly, it may be that the black shadow found the two of us, and suddenly disappeared, this is not where the black shadow appeared to find such a thing, it may be that the black shadow accidentally left behind. Zhang Jiayang said and raised a small wooden sword about an inch long in his hand, which looked like a children's toy in its roughness, but the workmanship was relatively refined, and the sword body and hilt as a whole looked like a flying dragon lifelike.

Shi Lao took the wooden sword and took a closer look, and suddenly found that there were four lines of small characters on the hilt of the sword: "The essence of the sun and the moon, all belong to my heart, the sky is auspicious, and the common people are blessed", and there is a small order under the four lines of small characters.

"This may be a prop for blessing and auspiciousness, a feudal superstitious thing, but it may become a clue to the abnormal phenomenon in the past few days, I will keep this sword for physical evidence. Shi Lao said and took the wooden sword into his arms, and the others nodded in unison.

"Liu Fangfei's body is fine now, do you need to go to the doctor?" and then Shi Lao said to Liu Fangfei with concern.

"I was just overly frightened just now, it's fine, just take a break, let Shi Lao worry. Liu Fangfei said as if blaming herself, and her expression showed that she was very annoyed for dragging everyone back just now.

"Fang Fei doesn't have to be too remorseful, she will definitely be able to figure out the truth about this one-horned monster, let's go to the place where you two found the man in black and take a look. After Shi Lao finished speaking, several people walked up the hillside together.

Shi Lao stood to the position where the man in black appeared, looked in the direction of the school, and the lights of the entire campus were in full view, especially Building 20 was clearly visible in such a dark night, and suddenly remembered the drawing he found in the library, and knocked on the ground with a stone in his hand, and heard the echo of Dong Dong, and thought of the unusual unicorn monster just now, thinking that he should check its source, thinking of this, Shi Lao raised his hand and looked at his watch and said: " Everyone, it's time for the morning exercise soon, get ready to go to the morning exercise first, don't make a noise about this matter, I will take the time to go to the library today to check the materials, if my expectations are good, tomorrow we will have a great harvest. ”

"Shi Lao, you are still selling Guanzi, tell us your thoughts, seeing that you are full of confidence, I will follow you. Hahaha. Xiao Zhuge looked at Shi Lao with a smile and said.

"Little Zhuge is a poor mouth, the heavenly machine must not be leaked, be careful that I use the school system to punish you. Shi Lao patted Xiao Zhuge on his thin head with his hand and said.

The others saw that their teachers and students were amusing each other, and the tense atmosphere just now became much more relaxed, and at the same time, they didn't know what medicine was sold in Shi Lao's gourd, and it was inconvenient to ask more, now Shi Lao was undoubtedly pushed to the position of the backbone, and seeing his incomparable confidence just now, they also dispelled their worries, and had to follow Shi Lao's instructions to prepare for morning exercises.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Lao sat in the reading room of the school, and there was a thick book of animals on the table, such as a hundred beasts, an overview of animals in the past dynasties, and the animal world, etc., suddenly as if there was a major discovery, and stood up excitedly, only to see it holding a copy of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in its hand, and turned to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the West Mountains" There is an animal in Zhang'ashan, with five tails, one horn, wings around the waist, the shape of a leopard, glass eyes, red skin, its cry is like the sound of hitting stones, people call it hideous. Seeing this, he silently paced back and forth for a few steps, and the monsters recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" were matched with the monsters he found last night, and suddenly he patted his head with his hand and shook his head.

"Old Shi, are there any major discoveries?" I don't know when Wang Youfu was already standing behind Old Shi.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, I'm about to go to you to discuss it. Shi Lao understood from the state of thinking and said.

Look at what the book says. Shi Lao said that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" recorded this hideous article for Wang Youfu to check.

"What, Shi Lao, you won't say that in the morning you saw a monster called Hideous that ran into my building, right?" Wang Youfu asked in surprise after reading it: "No, this "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a pre-Qin work, and the monsters on it seem to us to be myths and legends, and there are also records that all of them were killed by the three emperors and five emperors. ”

"I also thought so just now, even if this monster survived in the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been more than two thousand years now, how could it appear on our campus, but the fact of the morning has to make me believe that this is true. Shi Lao reasoned and thought at the same time.

"I wonder if the loss of my priceless antique has something to do with it? Unfortunately, this book doesn't say how to capture this monster, how is that good. Wang Youfu spread out his hands and shook his head, showing a helpless look.

"We'll be able to figure out how to crack it, and as long as we're united, you'll be able to find out about your lost antiques. Shi Lao comforted Wang Youfu and said.

"By the way, Shi Lao, you see my memory, I came to you to report to you that there is an abnormal situation, my dormitory has someone entered this morning, and I have experienced the loss of antiques yesterday, I deliberately made a mark on the lock to find it, but this time there is nothing missing. Wang Youfu changed his words and said.

Shi Lao paced back and forth a few steps when he heard Wang Youfu's words, held his chin in his hand and pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Wang Youfu with a serious expression: "Teacher Wang, you must tell me the truth, in addition to the lost antiques in your room, are there any valuable things, especially those things related to the lost antiques?"

"Well, I don't know, oh, look at my memory. Wang Youfu raised his wrist as he spoke, and wore a jade bracelet-like thing on his wrist and said: "Shi Lao, look, if you hadn't reminded me, I really forgot, this thing was originally stored in the jade box, and when I saw that there was a hole in the middle that could be worn on the wrist, the shape was also relatively unique, I thought it was a jade bracelet of the Han Dynasty, and I just wore it on my hand to dip it with blessings, and it was the most related to the loss of antiques." ”

Wang Youfu said and took off this jade from his wrist and handed it up, Shi Lao took this jade bracelet-like artifact and looked at it for a while, only to see that there was a round hole in the middle of this jade, and the whole surrounding area was oblate, and the word "Yin" was engraved on one of the planes, and there were two counterclockwise arrows on both sides of the word, and a "Yang" was engraved on the other plane Words, there are two clockwise arrows on both sides of the word; Shi Lao couldn't understand it, and suddenly remembered the sentence on the jade box bamboo slip: 600 in the northeast of Maoling, Yin and Yang are positive, time is down, you can go back to the Han Dynasty, Yin and Yang turn, you can travel in all directions, and my emperor can enter the fairyland.

"Why, it's a key. Shi Lao seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to say to Wang Youfu.

"What a key, this is a jade artifact. Wang Youfu was confused by Shi Lao's words.

"Teacher Wang, you take good care of this artifact, you must keep it with you, but you must also pay attention to your own safety. Shi Lao handed the jade to Wang Youfu and said, "Tomorrow is Saturday, more than half of the students who live on campus will go home, the campus is relatively quiet and easy to keep secrets, you can gather Zhang Jiayang and the four of them, and let them and I carefully explore the No. 20 building where you live." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go gather them, so don't you need to wait early tomorrow morning to see if the unicorn you saw in the morning will appear again?" Wang Youfu then asked.

"It shouldn't be necessary, after a toss this morning, it is estimated that it will not appear tomorrow morning, let everyone rest more, recuperate their spirits, and we will wait for tomorrow dawn to investigate Building 20." ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll go over and inform the four kids first. ”

Wang Youfu said and left the reading room, Shi Lao also cleaned up the documents on the table in the reading room, took off his reading glasses and rubbed his sleepy eyes, after the toss from the morning to the present, now he really feels a little sleepy, walked out of the library and staggered towards his dormitory on the hillside, taking advantage of this free time to prepare for a beautiful rest.

**Nothing, calm and calm, the hurried alarm clock woke Shi Lao up from his sleep. It was already seven o'clock on Saturday morning, Shi Lao hurriedly got dressed and pushed open the door, and saw that his wife Wen Qian had already prepared breakfast.

"I woke up, Mr. Wang and a few students came to look for you just now, and they all left when they knew that you were still resting, and they were waiting for you in Building 20. Wen Qian said strangely: "Do you still have classes on the weekend today? ”

"Okay. Saying that, Shi Lao washed his face and sat down to eat and said: "There is no class today, I just made an appointment with a few of them, there are extracurricular activities in Building 20, you don't have to wait for me to eat at noon, I may have a casual meal over there." ”

"Old man, when you are old, you should pay attention to your own body, don't always act like you are desperate. Wen Qian said and went back to the back room to do her own business.

Shi Lao casually ate a few bites of breakfast, thinking about the words of his wife's concern just now, his heart was happy, he walked downstairs to his wife, walked quickly to Building 20, and looked to the east, the sun had risen high, and the sun shone on the ancient buildings on the hillside, and suddenly found that this place was so solemn and sacred, backed by the handsome Taihang Mountains, with a clear river flowing in front, and it looked like a fairyland. The dignitaries and nobles like to live here when they travel through the ancient city, the feng shui takes turns, the emperor and the dignitaries have long become history, and now they live in this fairyland-like environment all the year round, they are already very content, thinking of this, they unconsciously walked to the door of Building 20, Mr. Wang and the four children have been waiting at the door of the building.

"Hello Shi Lao, where should we start?" Wang Youfu and the four children's greetings pulled Shi Lao back from his flying thoughts.

"Oh, you're all here early, I've thought about it, so let's start with the place where the unicorn disappeared. Shi Lao said and took the lead and walked into the building.

"Old Shi, do you think what we saw yesterday is a monster called a monster?" Zhang Jiayang asked on the left

"Mr. Wang has told us about your discovery, if it really proves that this monster is hideous, then Shi Lao, you will not only make achievements in the historical world, but also occupy a place in the animal world, when you write your paper, don't forget to add our names, hehehe" Xiao Zhuge followed closely on the right and smiled excitedly.

"Xiao Zhuge and young poor mouth, if we really find the monster species from 2,000 years ago, I'm afraid that there will be no time to write a paper by then, and the threshold will be broken. Students, Mr. Wang and I are just speculating. Although Shi Lao heard that Xiao Zhuge was ridiculing himself, he was also very happy in his heart.

"We'll be able to solve the mystery of the monster. Liu Fangfei and Black Tiger also followed closely and said.

"Yes, let's do it together. Wang Youfu also echoed.

Saying that, everyone walked to the corner of the staircase upstairs, Shi Lao first walked to the back of the stairs, and looked at the sundries placed in the same way as the day before yesterday, and carefully found that the woven bag covered by the sundries had moved the parts, Shi Lao turned to everyone and said, "It seems that we need to clean up these sundries to the side first." ”

Everyone moved the old table, old stool, old door panel, etc. under the stairs one by one, and everyone saw that a large stone appeared in the innermost low place and the staircase, the stone was one meter wide and half a meter high, and the staircase junction was integrated, as if this was to stabilize the staircase to play a supporting role, Shi Lao squatted on the ground with a stick, knocked on the ground, and there was a knock knock echo, Shi Lao bent down and looked around carefully.

"Old Shi, have you found anything?" Wang Youfu asked impatiently on the side.

"The whole secret should be on this stone, you see, you can hear from the echo on the ground, there is no space below, as can be proved by a map of the orientation and structure of an old building I found in the library. Shi Lao said as he took out the drawings copied from the reading room from his pocket, "This building is very different from other ancient buildings, the foundation is higher, and the first floor is much higher than other ancient buildings, backed by mountains, and the structural drawings do not show that this building has a basement, if my guess is right, there are many articles below, but I have not yet seen how to open this secret door." ”

When a few people saw the drawings, they immediately put their heads up, and found that what Shi Lao said was very reasonable, so several pairs of eyes kept searching around.

"Shi Lao, look there. Suddenly, Xiao Zhuge pointed to the bottom of the wall opposite the big stone and said.

I saw that the whole wall was built with stones under a circle, the material of the stone is similar to this big stone, and the shape of the wall in the corridor is very different, Shi Lao turned around and walked to the corner of the wall, touching each stone with his hand, suddenly the stone in the middle Shi Lao felt a little loose, and then pressed down hard, the whole small stone fell into the wall, only to hear the sound of "click", the big stone on the opposite side slowly moved to the wall, and between the stairs and the ground there appeared a width of about one meter, At the mouth of the half-meter-high black hole, a gust of cold wind blew from inside, and several people trembled and retreated backwards.

"Teacher Wang, bring a flashlight, we'd better go down and see what is going on. Shi Lao said to Teacher Wang.

"Old Shi, I may not have entered anyone here for a long time, so what's the danger?" Zhang Jiayang reminded with concern.

"Yes, Shi Lao, there is no ventilation down there all the year round, and there may be that unicorn monster called Hideous, so let's prepare seriously before going down. Liu Fangfei also said worriedly.

"Shi Lao, don't worry, with me, we will prepare some emergency things, such as torches, wooden sticks, etc., and the monster called Hideous will not be able to help us. The black tiger shook his muscular arm with his strong body and said.

"Little Zhuge what do you mean?" Shi Lao turned to Xiao Zhuge and asked after hearing the words of the three students.

"Shi Lao, is this, we should go down a few strong people, at least one person should be left at this gate to guard it, and if there is danger inside, quickly withdraw from it, and then close the stone door. Xiao Zhuge shook his little head and said his suggestion.

"Judging from the cold wind that can blow from the inside, there must be other air inlets below, at least there will be no lack of oxygen, Xiao Zhuge said well, in addition to the strong can go down, I think the fast ones can also ......" Shi Lao said here and paused and smiled at Xiao Zhuge , "Xiao Zhuge You can still run at a speed, and you will go down in a while." ”

"Ahh Xiao Zhuge shrank his neck, stuck out his tongue, and replied.

"Liu Fangfei and Teacher Wang are waiting at the top of this staircase, Zhang Jiayang, Black Tiger, Xiao Zhuge and I went in together, I don't believe that there are really monsters in the world. Shi Lao said this, and shook his thin fist.

The classmates only saw a hero-like heart hidden under Shi Lao's weak fist today, which was rendered by his emotions, and they all said in unison: "Execute according to Shi Lao's arrangement." ”

At this time, Wang Youfu brought a flashlight and a few sticks to distribute to everyone in case of emergency.

Shi Lao took a flashlight to the dark hole to shine, found that there was a section of stairs leading straight down, Shi Lao bent down and took the lead in stepping in, three children followed, and so on to the last level, the place became a lot more spacious, to the staircase mouth looked at five meters high, continued to walk forward, suddenly appeared a large guest room, about six meters wide, about five meters long, about three meters high, there are two bronze lamp stands on both sides of the guest room, Shi Lao used a flashlight to take a serious look, in the bronze lamp stand inlaid with a bronze gilt dragon-shaped oil lamp, Shi Lao saw that this is the Han Dynasty bronze, in the current museum has exhibited the Han Dynasty sheep shape, palace maid-shaped, puppet-shaped Han Dynasty oil lamp, dragon-shaped lamp is seen here for the first time, the workmanship is very fine, and the heart can't help but be overjoyed.

"Peerless. Shi Lao couldn't help but sigh.

"Shi Lao, what is this? Zhang Jiayang said casually that these three children, who grew up in the world of electric lights, would not have anything to do with oil lamps in any way if they had such exquisite craftsmanship and shapes.

Shi Lao said and took out a lighter, tried to light one of them, it could be lit, the faucet of the copper lamp can protect the flame from being blown out by the wind, the shape is very ingenious, the whole guest room suddenly lit up, and the three children suddenly felt magical.

Suddenly, Shi Lao Xiang said as if he thought of something: "Children, cheer up and pay attention to safety." ”

"Old Shi, is there anything abnormal?" the black tiger hurriedly grabbed the wooden stick and asked Shi Lao.

"This lamp was made in the Han Dynasty, 2,000 years ago, and the grease in the lamp still exists, indicating that there are still people in it. Shi Lao frowned and explained to everyone.

"Makes sense, let's keep looking. Xiao Zhuge echoed.

Saying that, he looked at the opposite side of the guest room, there was a narrow passage at the end of the guest room, enough for two people to walk side by side, Shi Lao took the lead and the others followed closely and continued to search, walking a hundred meters away, and suddenly felt that the front became spacious, Shi Lao shone around with a flashlight, and found that there were still two dragon-shaped copper lamps on both sides of the tunnel mouth, Shi Lao took out a lighter and prepared to light it, and suddenly retracted his hand.

"What's wrong? The black tiger asked Shi Lao softly, and the black tiger saw Shi Lao's abnormality by the light of the flashlight.

"The oil lamp still has residual temperature, so be careful. Shi Lao turned to the three children and said.

"Bang, bang, bang......" The clear sound of hitting the stone came from the opposite side.

"Who? Shi Lao shouted in the direction of the voice, and shone it with a flashlight to the opposite side.

Four fiery red unicorn monsters were found standing side by side, glass-eyed, shaped like leopards, with wings on their waists and many tails.

Shi Lao was stunned when he saw this, this is the legendary hideous, and the three children were also very surprised, holding the wooden stick tightly due to the nervousness in their hearts.

"Old Shi, I'll cover you, retreat quickly. The black tiger suddenly realized the danger and rushed to stand in front of Shi Lao and shouted.

It was too late, it was too late, and the four unicorn monsters were grinning and baring their sharp teeth and floated towards this side, and their glass-colored eyes emitted blue light.

"Boys, get out of here, I'll deal with them. Shi Lao quickly pulled the black tiger behind and rushed forward with a wooden stick, just when the four monsters were about to pounce, Shi Lao fell down, lay prone on the ground, and sent out a dazzling dragon-shaped light from Shi Lao's arms and shot directly at the four monsters, and the four-limbed monsters took five or six steps back as if they had met a nemesis, making a few loud stone hitting sounds and turned around and ran into the depths of darkness, all of which happened in two or three seconds.

"Old Shi, what's going on, are you okay?" Xiao Zhuge , Zhang Jiayang and Black Tiger came up together to help Old Shi up.

"It's fine, I just accidentally tripped over something. Shi Lao rubbed his sore knee and stood up.

The four of them found out by the light that it was a stone bench that tripped over Shi Lao, and the small dragon-shaped wooden sword picked up by Zhang Jiayang and Liu Fangfei was thrown out of Shi Lao's arms by strong inertia.

"Could it be that the dragon-shaped light was emitted by it?" Xiao Zhuge hurriedly asked.

"This is a supernatural thing! That bright light must have been emitted by him. Shi Lao picked up the dragon-shaped wooden sword and was very surprised.

Unexpectedly, the superstitious props that originally thought that praying for blessing and auspiciousness inadvertently drove away the monsters for everyone, and everyone was amazed.

"Shi Lao, look. Zhang Jiayang took a flashlight and shouted around. It was found that the wall where the four monsters were standing was carved a map of six square meters, and next to the map was a very beautiful mural of people.

"It turns out that the monster just wants to protect this map?" Xiao Zhuge asked suspiciously.

"Light the oil lamp and check it out. Shi Lao said, lit the oil lamp in the cave, the cave was as bright as day, carefully look at the cave room is a hundred square meters, only to see a stone **, a stone table, a few stone benches in the cave.

"The ancient map of the Western Han Dynasty, a major discovery, is breathtaking. Shi Lao looked at the map seriously and couldn't help but sigh, "The monsters must have gathered here for some purpose." ”

The map shows that the northwest is to Balchashi Lake, the south to the South China Sea, and the east is the East China Sea, all the cities are clearly marked, and a circle is drawn in Maoxiang, Shuofang County, and Dong County in Huaili County near Chang'an, and three straight lines are connected to form a triangle between the three points.

"Old Shi, what does this triangle mean?" Xiao Zhuge asked, looking at the triangle of the three counties on the map.

"What the ancients should have wanted to show is not a matter of speculation. Shi Lao said with a frown.

"Everyone, look at this mural, it's very beautiful. The black tiger shouted as he looked at the mural next to the map.

Everyone was attracted by the words of the black tiger, only to see the mural in the three hills staggered arrangement to form a triangle, a team of knights wearing Hanfu, guarding a six-horse dragon chariot, the front pennant opened the way, majestic, the leader of the staff in hand, wearing fairy clothes, into a passage into a flying shape, the other end of the channel is the glow of the sun, ten thousand auspicious clouds, green grass and flowers, insects, fish, birds and beasts, vivid as if fairyland.

"It's a wonderland. Zhang Jiayang couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Shi, we should continue to search for those four monsters and see if we find anything else. Xiao Zhuge 's words woke everyone up from the exquisite murals.

"Yes, we should continue our search, and we already know that the monster is afraid of this wooden sword, so we will chase after it. Shi Lao said, took out the wooden sword from his pocket and chased after the cave where the monster had fled with the three children.

The cave narrowed and narrowed, and finally became as accessible as one person passed, and the four of them slowly searched forward.

"Kids, look ahead. Shi Lao took the lead and shouted as he walked ahead.

"It seems that there is an exit to this hole, and a cool breeze is blowing from this side. Xiao Zhuge said excitedly.

"Be careful of Shi Lao. The black tiger suddenly shouted.

Shi Lao, who took the lead, quickly stopped and looked at the bright light, and found that a slender figure was shaking, as if something was being placed at the entrance of the cave.

"May I ask the one at the entrance of the cave, can you leave your honorific name?" Shi Lao shouted at the entrance of the cave. Hearing Shi Lao's shout, the figure could disappear.

"Quick, catch up and take a look. Black Tiger shouted.

The four of them quickened their pace forward, and when they came to the place where the figure was shaking, they found that it was indeed a narrow hole.

"Jade box, jade pot. Shi Lao looked at the entrance of the cave in surprise and said, everyone looked at the place where the light was shining, there was a jade box, and a pair of jade pots were stored on the jade box.

"Old Shi, what is this?" the three children asked in unison.

"This is an antique that Mr. Wang stored in the dormitory, which was stolen the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect to find it here again. Shi Lao explained to the students.

The black tiger was the first to walk out of the cave, and found that the cave was in a very hidden trench on the other side of the mountain, surrounded by dense trees, and the black tiger immediately jumped out of the trench and stood at the highest place to look, only to see that the mountains were full of trees, and there were black shadows and the shadows of monsters.

Shi Lao opened the jade box and found that the bamboo slips in the jade box had become a piece of paper, and the paper was written in Juanxiu's seal: The jade box is my emperor's thing, the bamboo slips are carved without a circuit, the machine room is far away, and the time suddenly looks at the sky, and you remember to remember.

"Old Shi, what does this mean?" Xiao Zhuge leaned up and asked.

"It's like a warning to us. Shi Lao didn't want to talk about it more, and the contents on the bamboo slips came to mind again.

Bamboo slips, maps, murals, seal script Chinese words, monsters, men in black, and magic wooden swords are flying in Shi Lao's mind one by one, what do these portend, too many bizarre things have happened in the past few days, which has made Shi Lao fall into a deeper confusion.
