Ban Gu rolled his eyes straight, ghosts know if a fishwife is a fish, no, he, a half-hearted ghost, doesn't even know what a fishwife is, yet Ju Yin wants to try it?

The unlucky baby Yu Xin ate a mouse in the tomb in order to survive and became a zombie, and Ju Yin ate a fishwife, maybe he would become a mummy?

"If there is, will Mr. Ju really eat it?" Lu Cheng looked at a stone brick in the corner and asked.

Ju Yin thought about it seriously, and said: "You still have to think about it. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible. But, then again, if there is such a chance, it is worthwhile to eat something wrong. Who can be so lucky, eat something wrong." To the fishwife?"

Professor Wan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this: "This fishwife is half fish and half human, and ordinary people can't talk about it. Besides, if this kind of animal really exists in the world, it must be protected by the world and you can eat it." gone?"

Ju Yin laughed out loud.

Lu Cheng laughed: "Since the fishwife is the reincarnation of Zhuanxu, wouldn't eating a fishwife be eating Zhuanxu?"

Ju Yin squatted in the corner, seemed to be stiff for a moment: "You can't say that, this has turned into another kind of creature, can it still be called Zhuanxu?"

"Maybe some people think they can be equated." Lu Cheng said.

Professor Wan shook his head when he heard them discuss the fishwife Zhuanxu seriously. The world of young people is really interesting, and they can talk so vigorously about endless and absurd things.

Ban Gu was so bored that his bones were itching all over his body. He squatted on the ground, picked up an ant and put it in his palm, watching it circle around in his hand. He felt that one was quite lonely, so he caught another.

Professor Wan was surprised: "Hey, the red-headed ants on this mountain are big and fierce. If they want to bite, Xiao Gu put them down quickly."

"They don't dare to bite me." Ban Gu said very proudly, poking the ants with his little finger, he was not afraid of biting, but this ruined temple is really boring.Glancing at Lu Cheng, it seemed that he had no intention of running away in advance.Since I couldn't resist, I had no choice but to join in and help the boring Ju Yin and Professor Wan find worthless stone brick paintings. I don't know which idle person owed a picture to the stone bricks a hundred years ago.

Ban Gu was a little reluctant to find the stone and brick paintings, and Professor Wan felt a little sorry: "Little Gu, come back and treat me to dinner, order as you like."

Ban Gu turned his head, finally getting a little interested.

Lu Cheng stayed by Ban Gu's side, looking for stone brick paintings together.

"Lu Cheng, everything here is at most a hundred years old, and the brick painting is probably only that one. Maybe someone drew it casually when he was bored." Ban Gu whispered in Lu Cheng's ear.

"No, there must be others." Lu Cheng said firmly.

"How do you know?" Ban Gu didn't believe it.

"We can bet." Lu Cheng smiled.

Ban Gu immediately figured it out in his stomach, how to put the least conditions to get the most advantage, and insisted hypocritically: "But, this stone brick painting is very young."

Lu Cheng: "Yes, but we can still find more, and maybe we can spell out useful information."

Ban Gu felt that cheap things could not be taken easily, so he had to think of a way: "Then, let's bet when we can find it, whichever is closer will win." Haha, he can use his perception to monitor Ju Yin and Professor Wan, if He cheated and traded things away earlier than he predicted in his bet, haha, he can remain invincible.

Lu Cheng saw through Ban Gu's Xiao Jiujiu at a glance, but he didn't care about winning or losing. Instead, he wanted to make Ban Gu happy, so he pretended to bargain: "We should go down the mountain before five o'clock, what time do you want to find it?"

Ban Gu was vigilant: "You choose first."

Lu Cheng looked at him with a smile, his eyes seemed to hide a vat of thick honey, too thick to melt: "Before three o'clock?"

Ban Gu was happy, he just had to choose the next one, and just before he opened his mouth to say four o'clock, he heard Ju Yin's excited and inexplicable voice: "I found it, I found it, here is another stone brick painting." Ban Gu "Shua" changed his face, his facial features were almost deformed and hideous in anger, and he shook his head sinisterly.

"..." Ju Yin was immersed in joy, completely oblivious to the black background and Ban Gu's chapped expression, "Professor, look here, this is another stone painting."

Professor Wan was also a little excited and hurried over.

Ban Gu let out a murderous breath from his nasal cavity. What is the value of these stone paintings?Any one of his funerary objects can be instantly killed.This Ju Yin seriously spoiled his interest for these worthless things.

Lu Cheng pinched his fingertips: "Don't be angry, let's go and have a look."

Ban Gu didn't think there was anything interesting, but he followed him honestly.Professor Wan was as happy as a child. The stone brick painting was at the bottom. He bent his waist, took out a magnifying glass, and lay down on the ground to look at it.

"How is it? I think the line style is the same, it should be the same batch of stone and brick paintings?" Ju Yin blushed with excitement.

Professor Wan looked at it for a long time, but couldn't bear it anymore, and took several photos in a row before getting up from the ground.Ban Gu passed him and lost his gaze. There was a straight line drawn on the dirty stone brick painting, which looked like a dead fishwife.

"Does this painting say that the fishwife is dead?" Ju Yin asked impatiently.

Professor Wan flipped through the photos and was a little fascinated: "It's interesting, but you can't rely on guesswork."

"What does it mean to be connected with the previous painting?" Ju Yin asked again, "The existence of these two paintings can prove that fishwives really exist in the world."

Ban Gu's eyes almost rolled to the sky, he didn't understand the causal relationship between the painting and the existence of the fishwife.

Professor Wan also said: "Hey, there is no necessary connection here."

Ju Yin suppressed his disappointment, and said: "Professor, do you think the stone bricks in this temple were dug from other places, such as ancient tombs or some other ruins buried in the ground? So this temple is only about a hundred years old. , but maybe this stone brick is an ancient relic?"

Ban Gu turned behind Lu Cheng, lay on his back, and muttered: "He is talking nonsense, this brick is at most a hundred years old."

Lu Cheng turned his head and saw that Ban Gu's head was tilted almost over ninety degrees, he raised his hand to help him up: "Yes, he is talking nonsense."

Professor Wan is a bit confused as to why Ju Yin is so keen on the ruins of the ancient tomb of the fishwife. He only thinks that he needs such materials to draw inspiration for writing novels. See if there are still brick paintings in this temple."

This time, Ju Yin also urged Gu to go to class Lucheng: "Boss Lu and Xiao Gu also work hard, there are so many people, it's easy to do things, and the important discoveries are entrusted to us."

Ban Gu hesitated for a second, whether to do something to scare Ju Yin into unconsciousness.Fortunately, after a while, Professor Wan saw a brick painting in the corner of the stone platform, and then he was a little dazed, looking at Ju Yin with complicated and incredible eyes: "This... ...It seems that Mr. Ju is right, it seems that there is a fishwife's tomb."

Ban Gu walked over, and the stone brick in the corner was painted with simple lines to draw the shape of the mountain peak, and a small semi-circular hill below it seemed to remind that a fishwife was buried in this mountain.

"But this...is a bit strange." Professor Wan reasoned for a long time, feeling that something was wrong.

Ju Yin didn't care about this, he almost didn't jump up happily, and walked around in the temple: "There is really a tomb of the fishwife, we have to look for it, won't it prove the ancient history if we find it? We have to study this tomb where."

Professor Wan couldn't bear to pour cold water on him: "Teacher Ju, calm down, I'll contact the people first, and study the few brick paintings in this temple thoroughly before looking for the fishwife's tomb."

Ju Yin smiled: "Professor, how much time does it take to come and go, why don't we go to find it first, and also contribute to the investigation, and save time, don't worry, we only look for tombs and don't do anything Destruction. Besides, if there is no tomb at all, wouldn’t it be useless?”

Professor Wan said: "Teacher Ju, it's like this. If there is an ancient tomb, it is hidden in the mountains and sunk in the ground. We don't have any instruments on hand, and it is hard to find. It is better to hand it over to a professional archaeological team. Reconnaissance and investigation. If there is a tomb, if there is no tomb, there will be no. If there is a tomb, if it is intact, we will study the outside, and if it has been destroyed, we will excavate it for protection. There are exquisite things inside."

Ju Yin mumbled, somewhat reluctantly: "Professor, let's just search for it first, and forget it if we can't find it. Anyway, I'm free these two days, so let's treat it as an outing."

Professor Wan walked out of the ruined temple, looked at the continuous mountains, and compared the shapes of the peaks. To be honest, the mountains here are even in shape, and they are all similar. There is really nothing special at first glance.He is not a professional, and it is still dangerous to be trapped in the mountains. He had to try his best to comfort Ju Yin: "The sun is already westward, why don't we go down the mountain first and talk about it tomorrow?"

Ju Yin looked up at the setting sun and at the mountains. They didn't prepare anything, they didn't even have food and drink. It was really not suitable for them to stay any longer. They just looked at a brick painting and went to find the ancient tomb. , a little impulsively: "Alright, let's go down the mountain first."

Ban Gu stared blankly at the camera in Professor Di Wan's hand, flipping through the photos of the brick paintings, the fishwife's tomb?Are you kidding me?As a half-lag, he will never be fooled.

Lu Cheng whispered in his ear, "Maybe it's the ancient tomb where Yu Xin fell?"

The paintings that Yu Xin painted for them were fishwives, and the brick paintings here also reminded them of fishwives, and even the fishwives worshiped in the village may also be "fishwives".Thinking about it this way, it seems that it might really be the tomb of the fishwife.

"Let's go down the mountain first, and go to the ancient tomb together tomorrow." Lu Cheng said.

"Go together?" The word "dislike" was written on Ban Gu's face brightly. Professor Wan is not bad, but he is a frail old man. lagging behind.

Lu Cheng glanced at Ju Yin who had entered the temple again: "He wants to go so much, it's a bit unreasonable not to take it with him."

Under Professor Wan's insistence, Ju Yin walked down the mountain step by step, turned his head three times, and when he learned that Lu Cheng and Ban Gu were going to the village chief's house, he said with a smile, "Then the professor and I have the cheek to rub a spot together? How much?" Give the village chief and the others some rewards, Mr. Lu, do you think it's okay?"

Lu Cheng said: "The village chief is willing, we have no objection."

When they went back, the old village chief was worried. He stood guard at the intersection of going up the mountain and heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw them: "Oh, why did we go up the mountain? Although our place is not a deep mountain and old forest, we will be confused when we first enter." Road. There are fewer people going up the mountain now, and the roads that were stepped on before are deserted. I don’t know where to go if I don’t pay attention. There is a place with dense grass. It can break a person's leg."

The old village chief complained a few words, then changed into a smiling face: "It's safe to come down, hurry up, go home, the old woman stewed the chicken and fish." Seeing Professor Wan and Ju Yin, "Who are these two? "

Lu Cheng introduced: "This is Professor Wan and Teacher Ju. We came here together. I didn't expect to run into each other at Kangzhuang by such a coincidence."

Ju Yin smiled: "We didn't expect you to come here too, it's so predestined."

The old village head looked at Ju Yin several times, and then smiled: "Since we are friends of Mr. Lu and Master, let's have a light meal and a drink together."

Professor Wan asked, "Don't disturb me."

"Don't bother, don't bother." The old village chief shook his head repeatedly, "Look at our village, there are a bunch of old bones left, and they can't go far. They are very busy every day. I wish I could have more guests."

Professor Wan and the others didn’t pass through Kangzhuang when they came, but went up the mountain road behind the village. At this time, they saw the statues offered by every household: “Village chief, which one is offered by your village?”

"Fish girl." The old village head was probably a little puzzled, how come one asked the fish girl, and the other came to ask the fish girl again, "Isn't there a pool behind our village, and the fish girl lives there, and can help people live?" disaster."

"I see." Although the image of this fish girl is similar to that of a fish woman, the so-called fish woman is very likely to be a fish woman, but this is people's belief, and Professor Wan tactfully did not argue.

But Ju Yin curled his mouth, he thinks that this fish girl is a fish woman, it can be seen that there has always been a legend of a fish woman in this place, which further provides the possibility for the existence of a fish woman.

The old village head didn't understand what the young man was laughing at, he laughed strangely, and couldn't help asking: "House..."

"The village head calls me Xiaoju."

The old village chief didn't shy away, and asked, "Xiaoju, what's wrong with our fish girl?"

Ju Yin didn't expect the old village chief to ask such a straightforward question, so he hurriedly said, "I've seen places that believe in fish girls outside, but the image is different, so I'm a little surprised."

"What does the fish girl in the letter look like?" The old village head frowned.

Ju Yin explained: "The fish girl outside is actually the incarnation of Avalokitesvara. She carries a fish basket, guides people in the maze, and saves people. She is also called Ma Langfu."

The old village chief said "Oh", and then said: "That is Guanyin, why is it a fish girl? Guanyin is Guanyin, and the fish girl is a fish girl! Our village is a fish girl who lives in a pool and does not save people. Guaranteed a smooth disaster year."

Ju Yin suddenly became interested: "Village Chief, you keep talking about your fish girl."

Seeing that he was really interested, the old village head smiled: "It's nothing, the old saying passed down by the older generation said that this deep pool is connected to the sky water, and there is a fisherwoman living in the water, which is not usually seen. Now, the fish girl will come out when she is in a good mood, sitting on the edge of the pool and singing, she can only be seen from a distance, but disappears when she gets closer. In this way, the people of the village and the fish girl live together in peace. It was like leaking, the heavy rain kept on, the crops and fruit trees in the field were all gone. Without rations, people would not be able to live. Capture it and give it to the people in Zhuangzi."

"But the flood never stops, and the fish, shrimp, and shellfish are also eaten. At first, the fish girl could give people a basket, but then there was only one basket, and then there were only a few. The little baby was so hungry that he cried. Seeing this The fish will be eaten up, and people will die..."

Ban Gu's face became ugly, and the direction of the story seemed to be heading towards a disgusting thread. He held Lu Cheng's hand, feeling cool and dry.Lu Chenghui held Ban Gu's hand, and pulled him all the way to his side. There was no gap between the two of them, and the figures pulled out by the setting sun overlapped together.

"And then?" Ju Yin asked.

The old village chief sighed: "The fish girl saw that the baby was crying pitifully, so the next day she brought a piece of fresh fish meat and asked Zhuangzi's Li to cook it. Zhuangzi still worried, what can such a small piece of meat do?" I had to boil a large pot of fish soup. It is strange to say that this meat is very hungry, and a small cup can last for a day. Such a piece of meat, everyone is frugal, and it lasted for three days. After three days, the fish The woman gave them another piece of meat, which lasted for several days."

"People are alive, but this fish girl is getting weaker and weaker. It turns out that the fish girl cut her own flesh to help people survive the famine. The lower half of the meat is almost finished. People in Zhuangzi , all rely on the flesh of the fish girl to survive."

A trace of hostility flashed between Ban Gu's brows. He didn't like this Kangzhuang, the old locust tree in Kangzhuang, and the legend of the fish girl.He felt an emotion called anxiety and out-of-control wrapped around his fingertips silently, and then spread up bit by bit, crawling across the back of his hands, arms... along the direction of his heart.

Lu Cheng looked at Ban Gu worriedly, and clenched his hand a little bit, the red line protruded from the tail ring, and wrapped around Ban Gu's ring finger a few times.

Ju Yin thought he would hear a legend about a fish girl using magic power to retreat water to save people, but unexpectedly it was cutting flesh to save people, bloody and weird, he paused and asked: "Then the fish girl who cut the flesh can still live?" ?”

The old village chief gave him a sideways glance: "Why can't you live, the fish girl is a god, and the gods can live anyway, this meat will grow back."

Ju Yin also wanted to ask, Professor Wan knew that belief was a sensitive thing, so he was afraid that he would offend the old village head by asking too many questions, so he stopped him and said, "No wonder every household in Zhuangzi worships the fish girl."

"Not too bad." The old village head smiled, "Help me."

They talked as they walked, and they arrived at the old village head's house after a while.There is a clay stove in the courtyard of the old village chief's house, and the firewood is burned, and the chicken is stewed, and the fireworks are lingering with the smell of chicken.

"It smells so good." Professor Wan sighed.

"Domestic free-range chickens are delicious." The old village head let people into the yard, "It has to be stewed in an iron pot, burned with firewood, and pine nuts are mixed in the firewood. arrive."

The old village chief's wife came out to meet the voices of people, and smiled: "Everyone sit down, the fish is burning behind me, sit down quickly."

Professor Wan and others couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the old village head, so they sat down in the yard, and the village head went to the house to get the wine out: "This is farm wine, brewed by ourselves, the grain is from our own, and the water is from the pool behind us. The water in the pool is sweet." He opened the wine as he spoke, pouring a glass for each of them, watching Ban Gu's face tender and happy, "Master, can you drink it?"

"Hmm." Ban Gu nodded his head heavily, stretched out his hand and pushed the cup forward.

Professor Wan was a little confused when he heard this title, why is he called Master Ban Gu?As soon as he was distracted, the old village head had already poured him a full glass of wine.Professor Wan couldn't hold back the dry drink without food, so he was busy protecting the cup so that it wouldn't fall over.

"Sweet wine, not intoxicating, homemade, low alcohol content." The old village head laughed.

Ju Yin tasted it: "It's delicious, it's sweet."

"That's right." The old village chief nodded.He focused on taking care of Lu Cheng and Ban Gu, and asked carefully, "Can Mr. Lu drink?"

Lu Cheng picked up the cup: "I can barely drink a little."

"Drink well, and take another jar." The old village chief repeatedly signaled Lu Cheng to drink, and he was even happier when he saw him nodding and praising after drinking, "It's delicious and nourishes people."

Ju Yin also saw the difference this time, the old village head was very fond of Lu Cheng and Ban Gu.

After Lu Cheng thanked him, Ban Gu took a sip of the wine secretly, then squinted his eyes happily, the little drunkard liked this wine.

Seeing that the wine was liked by the old village head, he smiled all over his face: "I won't brag with you, the wine made by other villages is not as sweet as ours. They use the water from the pool under the waterfall, which is different from the pool behind our village. The water quality is different." He remembered something, and asked Lu Cheng, "Did you find the temple when you went up the mountain? It's broken, it's nothing to see."

"I found it." Lu Cheng replied.

"There is no one offering a stone temple, so it has long been deserted." The old village chief showed such an expression.

Professor Wan interrupted and asked, "Doesn't your village worship Zhuanxu Temple?"

"No worship." The old village head shook his head, "I don't know who built it, but I know there is a temple. Like my father's generation, when he saw the temple shortage, he thought he was always a god. If you don't believe it, you can't neglect it. After a year and a half, I pack up and tidy up, and during the festivals, I remember to make some offerings, it’s serious, no one burns incense.”

This time Professor Wan also felt strange: "Could it be built by an outsider?"

The old village head: "I don't know. This temple was there when I was young. There used to be a statue and a stone furnace. Later, the stone furnace was gone, and the stone statue was also gone. My father said when he was alive, he still had a stone furnace. There were clay statues, but the clay statues disappeared after the rain, leaving only a stone statue.”

Ju Yin took a brush and drew on the brick painting, implying that there were mountains and mountains in the fishwife's tomb: "Village chief, which mountain do you think this is?"

The old village chief took the notebook, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and then said: "You can draw it well...it looks like the Yunu Mountain that has gone out of shape." Standing up, pointing to a mountain in the distance, "This... The top of the mountain slides down, does it look like a fairy sitting?"

Ban Gu straightened his neck and stared at him in circles. He didn't see any fairy image, but Professor Wan and Ju Yin kept saying that he looked like a fairy, which made Ban Gu doubt himself. Could it be that he is so different from a human being? .

The old village chief: "The Yu family rented out this mountain. I heard that some kind of herbal medicine is going to be planted. I'm afraid that people will step on it and ask people to surround it."

Professor Wan and Ju Yin were taken aback for a moment: "The Yu family."

"Yu Taosheng, Yu's family." Lu Cheng helped explain.

"The Yu family still has property here?" Professor Wan was really surprised.

"Mr. Yu is a member of our village." The old village head smiled.

"Oh... there is such a thing." Professor Wan didn't expect it.

The old village head pointed to the houses in the village: "Mr. Yu is a good man. The roads and houses in our village were all repaired by Mr. Yu, and the station outside was also repaired by Mr. Yu. I rented the hill to grow herbs. Well, let the head of the village go to work."

"Not allowed to go up the mountain?" Ju Yin asked,

"No way, no way." The old village chief waved his hand, "They must be planting valuable things. If they step on them, whoever will pay, they have pulled the net and guarded the people, but the main thing is to guard against wild boars." What."

Ju Yin frowned: "Not allowed to go up the mountain?"

The old village chief pointed at Lu Cheng with a smile: "Mr. Lu and the master can go, Mr. Yu has confessed."

Ju Yin and Professor Wan immediately looked over in unison.
