I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 189 Hide and Seek ()
"Eh?"

Before Fan Yu finished speaking, he heard Qin Jian say firmly behind him: "Okay."

"That's great!" Xiao Shitou jumped up from the city wall and rushed home. He shouted to several people as he ran, "Close your eyes and count to 100 before setting off."

The small figure quickly disappeared into the night, and his sorrow was blown to Fan Yu. The man sighed and asked: "Uncle Qin, I will accept all ten mythical beasts, but the Phoenix Riding Immortal Where to find it? It’s obvious what Brother Shitou means. He joins the game voluntarily, but he also carries the memory of reality and is at least half awake. What should we do if there is no Phoenix Riding Immortal in this dream? "

"Even if it's a little stone's dream, it will definitely happen. It's almost time to count to 100. Let's go and see."

After speaking, the three of them seemed to have reached an agreement and walked towards the way they came from without fumbling around. After a while, I stood at the entrance of the cave at the foot of Huangtu Mountain. The entrance in front of me was narrow, but there was a cave inside. It is just an inconspicuous small hole on the slope of the hillside, but it stretches vertically and horizontally in the mountain. The path is deep and entrenched in the entire yellow land. It looks very much like a natural paradise for children to hide and seek - but there are also It might be the end point where they never return and are lost in time and space.

He Si looked again at the scenery he had observed during the day. There was no change on the surface, except that the harsh sun turned into the soft moonlight. But He Si knew that it was not so peaceful inside the cave. Small shadows were running east and west, looking for a place to hide in the darkness. Like wild beasts dormant in the mountains, they buried their bodies in the soil, leaving only a pair of equally dark eyes sensitively and vigilantly observing the actions of the searchers.

Thinking of this, He Si suddenly felt that the cave dwellings connected by the ravines and the entire mountain came alive. She heard the heartbeat coming from the ground, sharing the same frequency as her heartbeat, waiting, peeping, and testing each other.

A piece of withered grass rises from the ground, a speck of dust rolls down from the top of the cliff, and particles of moonlight float in the air. The wind is like the thinnest gauze, rolling them up and throwing them down. The originally extremely ethereal mist in the mountains gathered from all directions, forming a hazy light that extended from the entrance of the cave into the mountain. He Si felt that she could see the context of everything in the mountains and rivers.

"It's normal to be afraid of the dark. I'll give Xiao He a head start." Fan Yu said as he was about to leave, but felt his arm being pulled by someone. When he turned around and saw He Si, he asked again, "Why are you so brave?"

"I think I can see it."

"What did you see?" Fan Yu regretted it as soon as he said it, and quickly stopped speaking, while He Si had already walked out muttering something.

"Don't be afraid, this is just a cave dwelling. Loess does not have layers, but develops according to vertical joints. Therefore, the structure between the upper and lower loess layers is tight, and the soil walls can stand upright without falling. In addition, the characteristics of the Loess Plateau's ravines and ravines create a structure that can be vertically oriented. "A cave-style house that organizes space," the surrounding darkness surged like an entity. He Si, who had no chewing gum, comforted herself, using the most familiar words in her mind to dispel the cold air around her. She really followed the floating ghost. Guang walked into the cave dwelling first, "So don't be afraid, there is nothing scary about these caves, they are just local architecture."

The cave got darker and darker as it went deeper, and the temperature naturally got lower. The thumping footsteps echoed over and over again. He Si was still trembling a little at first, but with the knowledge in his mind, the dark road became smoother and smoother.

In order not to disturb He Si, the two and one bird just followed behind silently. Although Fan Yu was curious, he did not dare to ask. But looking at He Si who was mumbling words like a magic stick, Qin Jian couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "Ah What is Si thinking about?"

"Ah, it's nothing..." He Si thought about her behavior just now and felt weird and a little embarrassed. She stuttered in response, "Just... just memorize some books." Her vague words aroused Qin Jian's anger. Intriguingly, he asked, "Has Ah Si learned any mottos to dispel darkness recently?"

"No, it's really an endorsement, just... some little knowledge about cave dwellings."

"What?" Even Fan Yu felt confused and frowned.

"For example..." The knowledge point that occupied his mind was suddenly interrupted, and He Si couldn't catch it at once. The darkness around him surged in like a tide again. The voices of several people talking swayed back and forth in the cave that was sometimes cramped and sometimes open. Feeling like a ghost, the dim light in front of He Si's eyes was about to be drowned by fear.

"How about Ah Si tell me what type of earthen kiln Xiao Shitou lives in?"

"It can be regarded as the combination and transformation of the Yaya Kiln and the Sinking Kiln," He Si immediately recalled knowing that Qin Jian was helping her. "The Yaya Kiln is the cave dwellings on the cliffs of the loess plateau. The roof and side walls are hidden in the loess, and the sunken kiln is mainly reflected in the courtyard that is sunk into the mountain and can be seen in the sky. It seems that this structure is a bit strange. Is it what the small stone originally lived? "

"It's not exactly the same, but the details are similar," Qin Jian thought for a while and said, "What do you think this cave dwelling was used for before?"

"It's like a temple. The main hall in the middle and the surrounding Buddhist niches are all aligned." The feeling of fear faded away, and the dim light began to extend forward again. He Si said as she walked, "The pattern of one lord multiple times may also be an ancestral hall. Even the county government office, but I haven’t done much research on beamless earthen buildings. If my senior brother is here, I may be able to give a more accurate answer.”

Qin Jian's steps were gentle and his voice was gentle: "This senior brother sounds very knowledgeable?"

He Si pursed her lips and heard a hint of amusement in her gentleness: "I'm not very knowledgeable. Senior brother has participated in the Yan'an Pagoda Mountain cave architectural heritage protection project. He has seen a lot, so he naturally knows a lot. But in terms of knowledge, Guang, it must be Teacher Qin.”

"Don't tell me, I have a lot of experience talking about this cave dwelling. I have participated in many archaeological projects in the central and southern Shanxi areas, such as the Hejin Guzhen ruins, the Shilouchagou ancient cave dwellings, and the prehistoric remains of Xiyin Village. "Isn't it amazing?" Fan Yu said and raised his eyebrows.

"Really, tell me?"

"About this cave dwelling, the main thing is the regional brand and national characteristics... This regional characteristic..." Fan Yu said halfway, muttering for a long time and couldn't think of the next sentence, and gave up on himself, "Okay, okay, it makes me have a headache. It’s the first time I’ve heard that you need to endorse something to drive away evil spirits. Brother Fan teaches you a method. It’s just eight words. There are no taboos. All evils can be avoided. You won’t be afraid of darkness if you practice it.”

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that He Si wouldn't believe it, so he started reading to himself. Fortunately, this section of the road has come to an end. The moonlight shines in from the surrounding mountains, illuminating the courtyard, the tunnel, and an old locust tree in the middle of the courtyard. He Si raised her head and followed the swaying light. Looking from the track, I saw a little monkey hanging upside down on the leafy treetops.
