At the end of the creek is an oval-shaped lake surrounded by lush flowers. The surface of the lake is full of white air, and a tall stone statue stands in the center. This stone statue is the image of a man with a crown and a broad belt, with a handsome face, like an immortal.

Except for the glowing flowers, only here and in the wilderness were the only ones who had plenty of light. It turned out that there was a huge crystal embedded in the stone wall directly above the lake. The outside light shone through the crystal, and the stone stalactites on the roof of the cave reflected the light, and the place around the lake was illuminated.

Bai Ruoxuan pointed to the crystal and said, "Look, it seems to be a big fish?" Naturally, it was impossible for the fish to fly overhead, but Xiao Yunfan looked at it and did see a huge fish swimming slowly above his head.

He was horrified in his heart, and said secretly: "Ah, this should not be the bottom of Huansha Lake, otherwise how can there be fish and shrimp?" Bai Ruoxuan saw a surprised look on his face, and hurriedly asked: "Didn't you say that you can find an outlet along the stream, this place should not be the exit you said, right?"

Xiao Yunfan didn't answer her question, his eyes were fixed on the stone statue, and suddenly he said, "Why is there such a stone statue here?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "You mean this stone statue has a lot to do with the exit?" Xiao Yunfan said: "I can't be completely sure if there is a connection or not, but this stone statue is really strange here." ”

Bai Ruoxuan also looked at it a few more times and said, "Look, what is the gaze of that stone statue staring at?" Xiao Yunfan looked in the direction of her finger and saw a hole in the stone cliff on one side. The two of them walked along the edge of the lake to the bottom of the hole.

Xiao Yunfan looked up and said, "Why don't I go up and find out first?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "Then you have to be careful." Saying that, he secretly lucked his true qi, jumped up, stepped on the soles of his feet on the rocks, and his body rushed upwards like a bird.

It is naturally impossible for a person to stay in the air for a long time, and even a top master cannot achieve a complete volley. Xiao Yunfan clasped one hand on a sharp stone protruding from the stone wall, and tried to climb up. Fortunately, the stone wall of this cliff is uneven, and there are holes dug by predecessors. Otherwise, no matter how good Xiao Yunfan's light work is, he will be at a loss.

The circular hole was in front of him, and Xiao Yunfan grabbed a rattan with both hands and climbed up. He turned around and saw that the eyes of the stone statue in the lake were fixed on this place. The cave was so small that there was nothing but a square stone platform. There are traces of axe chisels on all sides, which are obviously hand-chiseled. But it is not an easy task to dig such a strange hole in the middle of the mountainside.

Xiao Yunfan leaned down and blew away the dust on the square stone platform. Through the light shining in from outside the cave, I saw that the stone platform was engraved with four lines of poetry with hairpins: "The sun and moon are hidden in the lake, and the universe is contained in the abdomen." I have priceless treasures, and I only give them to those who are destined. ”

These four lines of poetry are written in a simple and easy to understand way, Xiao Yunfan touched his chin and said to himself: "The predecessor who wrote the poem can be regarded as a very good person, he is afraid that the younger generation will not understand its meaning, and he also deliberately emphasizes the three words priceless treasure." In that case, that thing must be hiding at the bottom of the lake. He stretched out his hand and groped around the stone platform for a while, and found two stone keys, one in the shape of a ring and the other in the shape of a crescent.

He quietly put the two keys in his bosom, and then kowtowed respectfully in the direction of the statue.

Bai Ruoxuan saw him jumping down from above, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Yunfan, what did you find on it?" Xiao Yunfan said: "There is only one stone platform in the cave, and there are four lines of poetry engraved on the stone platform, 'The sun and moon are hidden in the lake, and the belly is full of things.'" I have priceless treasures, and I only give them to those who are destined. The white girl Bingxue is smart, you might as well guess this riddle. ”

Bai Ruoxuan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and said: "This poem refers to a thing, this thing should be hidden at the bottom of the lake, and it is a priceless treasure, only those who are destined can get it." Xiao Yunfan said: "Since we have discovered that stone cave, we can be regarded as destined people." Why don't I go to the bottom of the lake and see what the other party is hiding. ”

Bai Ruoxuan shook her head and said: "Although this thing is at the bottom of the lake, the poem also says the word fate, I think the things at the bottom of the lake are related to a certain timing, if it is not for that fixed timing, I believe that the treasure will not appear in the world." Xiao Yunfan touched his chin and said, "As soon as you say this, the mystery in my heart seems to be completely solved." ”

Bai Ruoxuan's eyes lit up, and she said strangely: "Oh, do you know the time to turn on this thing?" Xiao Yunfan smiled: "Not bad." The first line of the poem hides the sun and moon in the lake, which tells us the story of the appearance of treasures. This timing refers to the sun and moon shining together. When the sun and the moon appear at the same time in the sky, the water will appear at the same time. As long as we wait until the sun and the moon shine together, we can know the mystery of this thing. ”

Bai Ruoxuan couldn't help but be disappointed when she heard this: "If you want to see the sun and the moon shine together, I'm afraid you won't encounter it a few times a year." Xiao Yunfan said: "White girl, this is wrong. The sun and moon are not a strange sight, and if the sky is clear, it is not surprising to see it three times in a month. Bai Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you listening to?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "This is what I saw from an ancient book. When I was a child, Xiao was very studious, but I didn't have so much time to watch it when I was older. Bai Ruoxuan said: "There is a way that 'if you believe in a book, it is better to have no book.'" "You got this from the book, but you have verified it yourself?" Xiao Yunfan said: "At that time, it was natural, otherwise why would Xiao boast about Haikou?"

Bai Ruoxuan smiled and said, "Okay, then how long will we wait?" Xiao Yunfan said: "The day you competed with me was set for the ninth day of the fourth month, and it took thirteen days for you to recuperate, today is April 22, and the wonders of the sun and moon rising together can only be seen on the 23rd in the second half of each month." In other words, we only have to wait until tomorrow to see it. ”

Bai Ruoxuan said: "Dare to ask Xiao Daxia what does he use to calculate the hour?" Xiao Yunfan pointed to the statue in the middle of the lake and said, "Naturally, I look at it." Bai Ruoxuan was puzzled and asked, "This statue can't speak, what can you see from it?" Xiao Yunfan smiled: "Its shadow." Since the poem implies that we will see the sun and moon rising at the same time, the light source here must be the same as the light source outside.

The statue is located in the middle of the lake, which is the equivalent of a needle on a sundial. And if we look at the direction of the statue's shadow on the lake, it should not be difficult to guess the hour. ”

Bai Ruoxuan was greatly admired when she saw him talking eloquently, looking like a man who was familiar with the past and the present, you must know that Xiao Yunfan only knew the surface. The two sat on a large rock by the lake. The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts. Bai Ruoxuan thought to herself: "In this half of my life, I am afraid that the happiest time is these days. From life to death, from death to life.

If I could really go out with him, I would never pay attention to those grudges again. I'd better go back to my hometown with my grandmother and live the life we want. I know my hometown from my grandmother, but I still want to see it for myself. ”

Xiao Yunfan thought in his heart: "I don't know where they have gone when they heard the clouds and the moon? The matter of Xuanbing Mountain Villa is also an eyebrow, I think I should also go home to take a look, it has been two years since I went out unconsciously." Come to think of it, the past two years have been more terrifying than the first half of my life.

After completing Master's last order, after staying in the mountains for some more time, it is time to visit Uncle Hou and Uncle Fan. By the way, Qing'er, how can I forget Qing'er. I don't know if she's doing well, whether she's getting fat or getting thinner. It doesn't matter if she's fat or thin, I like it. When he thought of Feng Miaoqing's smile, he felt infinitely sweet in his heart.

At the end of the day, the lake began to bubble. Bai Ruoxuan leaned on Xiao Yunfan's shoulder and fell asleep in a daze. Xiao Yunfan opened his eyes slightly, and faintly heard a strange sound coming from the lake. Bai Ruoxuan was also awakened by this voice, she rubbed her eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "Do you hear that there seems to be some monster living at the bottom of this lake? This sound seems to be made by this monster." "Two whirlpools appeared on the surface of the lake, and the sound seemed to come from the whirlpools. The two stared intently at the lake.

I saw that the stone statue in the middle of the lake began to rotate and sink downward. The two whirlpools on the surface of the lake showed two shadows, one was the sun and the other was the moon. The whirlpool slowly became smaller, and two flying springs erupted from the lake, holding up the shadows of the sun and the moon.

With a low roar, a huge monster emerged from the water. The monster's body was like a giant python, and it spun around the surface of the water before stopping. Xiao Yunfan was fascinated, and Bai Ruoxuan was also surprised.

Xiao Yunfan walked into the monster boldly, although the monster's body was vividly made from scales to beard, Xiao Yunfan could see that this was actually an incomparably delicate trap beast. He had seen the use of this kind of trap beast in Mo Ion's books earlier, so he was not afraid.

Bai Ruoxuan said: "This ...... Could this be a dragon, right?" Xiao Yunfan said: "If you say that it is a dragon, it is not an exaggeration. Because this thing is called the Escape Water Jiao, people can sit in it and gallop in the sea. There is also a kind called the Flying Dragon, which can travel the universe by sitting on it. ”

Bai Ruoxuan saw a pair of big eyes of the trap beast flickering and said: "I have heard the legend of the wooden ox and the flowing horse, could it be that there are really people in this world who can create such an incredible thing?" Xiao Yunfan said: "This is also the first time I have seen the real thing, but I have seen the flying dragon with my own eyes." As he spoke, he rubbed his palms and said, "This thing is probably the priceless treasure mentioned in the verse." ”

Bai Ruoxuan looked at the monster and said, "Xiao Yunfan, you said that this is a kind of trap beast, people can sit in it, so you can control it?" Xiao Yunfan walked in front of the huge dragon head, jumped forward, and plucked the pearl from the dragon's mouth.

A scale on the dragon's body lifted up, revealing a diamond-shaped door. Xiao Yunfan said: "White girl, since God let us find this escape, then it means that we should not die." We might as well take this retreat and get out of here. Bai Ruoxuan was extremely shocked in her heart, thinking that she had never seen or heard of this kind of thing, she couldn't help but hesitate in her heart.

Xiao Yunfan said: "As soon as the treasure comes out, there will be a vision here." We'd better leave early to avoid long nights. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a crack appear on the cliff to the north. As the two of them leaped in through the diamond-shaped window, the scales closed on their own.

Bai Ruoxuan pointed at Xiao Yunfan and said, "What is in your arms, why is it glowing?" Xiao Yunfan remembered the two strange-shaped keys he found under the stone platform.
