Ai Yu put away the miniature tripod and sent the video he had just recorded back to the station after rough processing. As soon as I finished sending it, my phone rang.

"Director, the material has been sent back, what else is going on?"

"Huh, such a big grudge?"

Ai Yu rolled her eyes. Anyone who finally took a few days off and was asked to work overtime remotely couldn't be happy.

Originally, she thought that the Qingming Festival was coming, and she had to come back to say goodbye to her grandfather and grandmother. Who knew that one of the landing points of this meteor shower happened to be in her hometown.

"Xiaoyu, I received news from here that a geological expert from your province will go to the Puding Mountain site tomorrow for a field trip, you see ......"

"Got it, I'll follow, there's news back." Ai Yu sighed, "Can I go back and cancel the vacation?" That's definitely a business trip! ”

"Yes! How can't you? Must be able to! ”

Hanging up the phone, Ai Yu packed his backpack and looked at the surrounding ruins. She was not happy, not only because of the holiday waste, but also because the temple was destroyed.

This place is called Budingsan, and like many mountains in the hilly area, it is no more than 500 meters high. However, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the rich copper and iron resources of Pudingshan were famous.

In the era of cold weapons, the preciousness of copper and iron can be imagined.

At that time, Pudingshan belonged to the Great Chu, and the kings of Chu sent soldiers to mine here all the year round. Over time, a small mountain town was formed, named Nanxiang.

Originally, there was only one north-south street in Nanxiang Township, which started from the eastern foot of Puding Mountain in the north and connected to the official road in the south, with a total length of three or five kilometers. The entire street is paved with bluestone strips excavated from the mining to facilitate the transportation of ore by wheelbarrows.

Thousands of years have passed, and even the heaviest bluestone strips have been pressed into thin bluestone slabs, on which are engraved with ruts one after another.

Nanxiang is an ancient town, and although Buding Mountain is not a deep mountain, the Puding Temple on the mountain can also be called an ancient temple.

At first, there was only a small Zen monastery on the top of the mountain, a statue and a monk. Later, the pilgrims continued, and the temple was expanded several times, and gradually there were buildings such as the main hall, the east and west wings, and the apse.

Ai Yu still remembers coming here with her grandmother to make incense when she was a child.

The main hall is five rooms wide, there is a platform about one meter high, the front eaves are painted, and the other three sides are plain and white. Although the square in front of the hall is small, there is a huge incense burner. There is also a merit monument next to it, and the names of grandfather and grandmother are impressively in the forefront.

Who knew that a meteor fell from the sky a month ago, and the entire temple was wiped out. Fortunately, the monks in the temple sensed that something was wrong and escaped, and the proper Bodhisattva blessed them.

At this time, there was a deep pit in front of Ai Yu's eyes, and the burnt and pungent smell lingered for a long time. She walked around the perimeter of the ruins, sketching in her mind the original appearance of the Kadoji Temple, and before she knew it, she went around to the location of the apse.

There used to be an old locust tree here.

Looking at the huge black soil pit in front of him, with half a charcoal-like stump at the bottom of the pit, Ai Yu's heart was sour.

When she was a child, whenever the acacia flowers were fragrant, she always begged her grandfather and grandmother to pick them more. Take the acacia flower home to make steamed cakes, or dry it to make steamed buns with lean meat filling of acacia flowers.

Since the old man died, the sweetness that remained in his memory has never been tasted again.

"Boom ......" A muffled thunder suddenly came, and Ai Yu was startled.

Looking up, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, the wind was clear, and there was no abnormality. But I did hear the thunder just now, could it be that this thunder fell on my heart alone?

As soon as this thought came to mind, the scorched earth near the locust tree pit suddenly revealed an emerald green light, and then thousands of emerald mangs broke through the ground one after another like hedgehogs.

Frightened, Ai Yu sat down beside the pit, wide-eyed and overwhelmed.

I have been a reporter for three years, and I have seen a lot of strange things, but today's meeting is a bit outrageous. In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Ai Yu's heart.

The biological weapons left behind by the little devils?

It's impossible, if something harmful were buried in the bottom of the apse, the monks in the temple would have burped a long time ago.

The meteor shower is a drifting bottle dropped by aliens, so that it can be positioned and gather a large army to engulf the earth?

It's possible, but it doesn't seem like it either.

Not to mention the annual meteor showers around the world, just one Antarctica freezes an unknown number of dead stones. It was not until the melting of glaciers in recent years that those meteorites surfaced one after another, but no aliens were seen.

Ten minutes later, there was no more change in Na Cuimang, and Ai Yu mustered up the courage to look at the center of the earthen pit.

The big black crater smashed by the meteor was more than 30 meters deep, but the edge was no more than a meter deep, and the place where the glow was shining was in the center of the bottom of the pit.

At this time, she saw that although the entire Puding Temple had turned into scorched earth, the old locust tree in the apse seemed to be the "bull's-eye". If you're not mistaken, the thing that glows is the spot where the meteor lands.

As if in response to her heart, the green mang gradually converged, and then the earth began to shake slightly,

"What the hell...... Are monsters coming......"

Ai Yu rolled and crawled to escape, but who knew that his left foot tripped on his right foot, and he just stood up and fell to the ground solidly. It was delayed for a few seconds, and when she got up again, the demonic Cui Mang had already chased after her, pointing straight to the door.

"Damn, you're really coming at me? Hey, hey, hey, I'm just a little reporter, and I haven't even commented on the editor-in-chief, can you change someone to bully me?! ”

Ai Yu closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands, and his palms were facing outwards in vain.

She thought she was going to be cut into a hundred and eight pieces by the emerald green light, because the light gave people an indestructible sharp edge as soon as it appeared.

Who knew that nothing had happened.

There was only the sound of his own rapid breathing, and a cold object was attached to the palm of his hand. Ai Yu subconsciously held it and opened his eyes carefully.

It is a green stone in the shape of a ring, and the emerald green ring looks like an emerald and is extremely transparent. There is also a notch in the ring, like a jade.

If a gentleman can decide, then Pei Jue. This kind of jade ornament can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, and it would have been developed if it was ancient jade......

Ai Yu pursed his lips, took out a wet tissue from his backpack, carefully cleaned the soil on the jade, and wiped his hands clean by the way.

This jade is by no means an ordinary jade jewelry, and the dazzling jade mangs just now cannot be faked. Look left and right, there are no ghosts in the barren mountains and mountains, scorched earth and huge pits. Ai Yu immediately made a decision and put the baby in his pocket.

Maybe it's because of the thief's weakness, and the time to go down the mountain is more than twice as fast as climbing in the morning. Ai Yu only took more than half an hour to return to the old street and go straight to his old house.

The so-called Old Street, as the name suggests, is the oldest street in Nanxiang. In today's Nanxiang Township, most of the young people have moved to live in Xinjiekou, and even the county seat and provincial capital...... There are uninhabited wooden buildings left in the old streets, as well as old wells, old archways, and sporadic old people who are too lazy to move.

When Ai Yu was young, she lived with her grandfather and grandmother in Lao Cai until she was admitted to university. Later, the old man died one after another, and her old wooden building became increasingly dilapidated, but it was a place to stay.

When he got home, Ai Yu immediately nestled into his grandfather's rocking chair, took out the jade jue and looked at it over and over again. The inner and outer rings of the jade are smooth and traceless, and there are no features that can indicate the age or provenance.
