"What do I do to blame people? How can I Ma Chengfeng? In the end, it is still with the development of the thief, it's just that, don't mention him, the bird will fly solo sooner or later, after this catastrophe, it will be difficult for us to reconcile with the Dong family in the future. No, it's me, your Chang family has always been a thief. Ma Chengfeng inexplicably felt a loneliness that he had never felt before.

"You're still saying such things at this point? What are you and me? Since I Chang Xiaoman met you, I have long stopped walking around with the rivers and lakes. Xiao Man took his arm, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

"Hey...... Looks like I'm going to have to think of something to get you out, or I'll be sorry for what you just said. Ma Chengfeng motioned for Xiao Man to turn off the flashlight, so that the apse fell into endless darkness again, making it more convenient for him to open the ghost pupils.

He found that once the oil lamp on the face and the flashlight in Xiao Man's hand were extinguished, the black gas in the air in the apse floated up again, he raised his nose and sniffed, this black gas was the source of the faint fishy smell, the black gas was floating from the southwest corner of the apse, there was a copper door in the southwest corner, the copper door was half empty and half hidden, and the fishy smell inside was heavier.

The gap in the door was so narrow that the two could not get through. Ma Chengfeng tried to push it open, but after pushing it for a long time, he found that the bronze door was very heavy, and it was difficult for the two of them to push it together.

Ma Chengfeng said, such a small gap, how did the tomb robber get in in the first place?

Xiao Man said: "Don't you know how to shrink bones?" Maybe that old-timer is a master of bone shrinking, right? Those who can do inverted bucket trading have a skill, otherwise they would have died in the ancient tomb a long time ago? ”

"But I don't think this old-timer will end well."

"Don't say that, he must have had the same experience with the two of us more than a hundred years ago, after the thief hole came down, he found this mysterious ancient temple of the Han Dynasty, go first, the thief hole behind him has been blocked, then he will also go to the front hall to find other exits, if he goes out, we can also go out, if we find his body, we will be more than lucky."

"Xiaoman, have you heard an old saying? Speaking in some places, the good does not the bad spirit. Look here. Ma Chengfeng pointed to the heavy bronze door, in a dark corner of the front hall.

Xiao Man turned on the flashlight, and sure enough, there was a corpse half-squatting and half-leaning in the corner, the corpse was already rotten into a skeleton shelf, carrying a bulging bag on his back, his face was covered with a black scarf, and he was holding a Luoyang shovel in his hand.

He is short, looking at this posture, he is in his early fifties, and he is very thin, otherwise he would not be able to get into this bronze door.

Chang Xiaoman frowned, didn't dare to say much, lowered his head and hurriedly helped Ma Chengfeng find the mechanism of this bronze gate.

There is a stone trough behind the bronze door, and there are several fist-sized steel balls in the stone trough that close the inner mechanism, and two of them have rusted out of shape, and have been crushed by the pressure in the stone trough, so it will cause the copper door to open a slight crack.

There is also an iron link between the steel balls, which belongs to a simple instrument in ancient times, although the process is not as cumbersome as our modern times, but in order to eliminate theft, we also have to sigh the wisdom of the ancients. This method is much stronger than any modern anti-theft lock, if it is not for the rust and decay on the two steel balls inside, ordinary people can not open it at all.

Most of those steel balls have been rusted, but the degree of rust is different, Ma Chengfeng put his hand in from below, and used the Seven Star Blade to cut off the iron rod that connected the steel balls, and after picking out three, suddenly, the copper door opened a little more, although it was not big, but it was barely passable.

The two of them got through the crack in the door in turn, and this should be the front hall of the ancient temple. The two looked left and right, and found that there was no danger other than the dead body of the tomb robber, so they separated to find the exit. The space of the front hall is not small, and there are no ear chambers or side chambers.

At the front is a statue of a god enshrined, the statue is completely black, but the silhouette does not look like a human form like a god or Buddha. In the ancient temple, not only this statue of the god is weird, but also in every temple, there must be beams, and in the apse, the beams are wooden structures. But the beams in the front hall are a little extraordinary, they are white slender bones, a total of four beams, the longest is about 20 meters, and the shortest is ** meters! I don't know what kind of giant beast this bone is taken from, the bone is extremely thick, and the ancient temple has been deposited in the ground for thousands of years, and it is still very strong.

It's just that the front end of the bone beam is very sharp, sharp like a fish bone, white and sensitive, and people who look at it are daunting.

"It can't really be a fish bone, right?" Ma Chengfeng jumped and jumped on the beam, and when he smelled it, it did have a faint fishy smell.

"Cheng Feng, look, it's not just the beams of the house, you see, there is a statue of a god here, and the statue seems to be carved from animal bones." Xiao Man stood in front of the statue with a flashlight and exclaimed.

The two of them looked at each other, and this ...... The shape of this idol is very similar to the head of a big fish, and the head of the fish is like a big truck!! Oh, my God! And that's just fish bones! If there really was such a big fish in ancient times, wasn't it a monster in the water when it was alive?

"River God! I see, this is the river god of the Hanshui River! Xiao Man said to himself.

As we said, before the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Hanshui River often flooded, and the entire Lingzhou City was flooded many times, and there were several ancient city ruins buried under the city. The Hanshui River has been repaired several times after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the people have had a peaceful life in recent years! The Hanshui River is a tributary of the Yangtze River, and it used to be flooded, but it was not as simple as we imagined, and the water burst like a galloping momentum of thousands of horses, directly engulfing the city, and the people had no chance to run at all.

Therefore, the Hanshui River was larger than it is now, and the riverbed was wider, so it is not surprising that there were really some mysterious creatures underwater.

"This looks like a catfish, right? You see, there are two whiskers, and the mouth is flat. Xiao Man said.

"It doesn't matter what kind of fish it is, the important thing is that it seems to have only one eye on its head, but ......" Ma Chengfeng was also secretly surprised.

The entire front hall, including the pillars supporting the temple hall and the beams, is almost all made of fish bones, and even the inside is enshrined by the giant of the big fish, the head of the fish has long since rotted after thousands of years of baptism, leaving only a huge skull skeleton. However, the facial features on the fish's head are still clearly recognizable. The catfish's eyes are on both sides of the wide head, which are level with its two whiskers, but the big guy in front of it only has a big hole in the middle of the head, and it is actually one-eyed!

"It may be a deformity, or, in our modern terms, it is a genetic mutation, otherwise it would not have grown so big and would have been worshiped by the people as a river god." Xiao Man explained.
