"Don't panic, maybe it's a little animal that has been mistaken!"

Zuo Yang quickly grabbed Bu Ya and said to him.

In fact, Zuo Yang was also shocked just now. After all, this black shadow moved too suddenly and no one was prepared for it. However, after recovering from his senses, Zuo Yang was not so scared because the black shadow was not big, and Zuo Yang did not feel any evil spirit from it. It should not be a monster or a monster.

"Big, brother, I'm not panicked at all, just a little bit sudden."

Bu Ya's face was a little pale, but he insisted on refusing to admit it, for fear that Zuo Yang would look down upon him.

"Um."

Zuo Yang naturally would not expose him, but just nodded with a smile, turned around and said to Heimaochi, "Hei Tan, do you see clearly what that is?"

Cats' vision is completely different from humans, especially at night. Therefore, although Zuo Yang and Bu Ya did not see clearly what the black shadow was, it does not mean that the black cat was not seen clearly either.

“Meow.”

Heimao Chi shook his head and screamed, saying to Zuo Yang in a vain way, "I didn't come here just now and didn't see it, but it shouldn't be a dirty thing. After all, I feel very sensitive to dirty things like monsters and monsters. It is impossible for these things to escape my nose within a radius of ten miles."

"I'll go!?"

This scene made Bu Ya stunned. Although he couldn't understand the lies of Heimao Chi and knew that this black cat was definitely not an ordinary cat, Heimao Chi's vivid head shaking movement still surprised him.

After all, no matter how mature or smart a normal cat or dog is, he can only respond to some of the small orders that the owner has trained to become a habit. How can he answer the owner's questions like a person? What's more, Zuo Yang has just caught this black cat?

So, is Zuo Yang good at a very magical beast taming technique? Or is this black cat really becoming a spirit and possessing spirituality beyond imagination?

"Well, it's the same as I thought."

Zuo Yang did not mean to be on guard against Bu Ya. Anyway, Bu Ya has seen enough things in the past two days, and after this matter is over, the chances of meeting the two in reality will definitely be very slim, so there is no need to pay attention to these details.

So he just nodded and continued to say to Heimaochi: "Otherwise you go down and take a look first. With your ability, no matter it is a dirty thing or a small animal, it should not be your opponent."

"Meow."

Heimaochi responded again and straightened his chest with satisfaction, "Hello, master, this is the most realistic thing you have ever said in the past two days."

While talking, the black cat chi had already walked to the entrance of the cellar with elegant cat steps, and then jumped gently on the ladder of the cellar and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

“…”

Looking at the Black Cat Chi's every move, Bu Ya's face changed into an envious expression of jealousy and hatred, and looked at Zuo Yang with envy, "Brother, it would be great if I had such a cat. Is this still a cat? Apart from not being able to speak human language, even a human being is afraid he is not so sensible, right?"

"hehe."

Zuo Yang just smiled indifferently.

With just one sentence, the black cat chi had returned to the light of the lighter, raised her head and screamed at Zuo Yang with a "meow" again: "Master, it's just a pangolin that accidentally drilled the wrong hole. We were also scared to it, and now we are hiding in the corner, trembling."

"That's good."

Zuo Yang nodded and then said to Bu Ya, "It's okay, it's just a pangolin. If you don't want to come down, just wait here for a while. I'll just go down and take a look."

After saying that, Zuo Yang bent down and climbed down the wooden ladder bit by bit.

"What if you have any physical work, you can't let you do it yourself."

Bu Ya was worried about not having any chance to show that he was afraid of losing Zuo Yang's thigh, so he was not willing to stay on it and wait. Seeing that Zuo Yang had already gone down, he naturally followed him quickly.

...

Inside the cellar.

The lights of the mobile phone shone over, and as Black Cat said, the pangolin, the size of an adult cat, was curling up its body into a spherical shape, and the weak cellar was not moving at all.

"Brother, I heard that the pangolin is a big tonic..."

It was obviously the first time Bu Ya saw this animal. After walking a few steps forward, I wanted to see it more clearly, but I didn't dare to get too close. I said to Zuo Yang with a novel look on my face.

"Learn from the second-level protected animals, Wildlife Protection Law."

Zuo Yang had seen it twice when he lived in the countryside before, so he was not that novel. He just said lightly, not to mention that what he is more interested in now is the great opportunity in Hei Tan's mouth. This kind of wild animal is naturally difficult to arouse his interest.

So while talking to Bu Ya, he had already used his mobile phone's lighting to surround this large cellar, which was about 30 square meters.

Until now, the cellar is still well preserved, with the walls and the adobe at the top perfectly fitting together. Although it is definitely not smooth, it is flat enough. The ground inside the cellar is relatively dry and there is no trace of groundwater invasion.

In addition, an irregular hole with a diameter of about twenty centimeters was exposed on the wall at the western end of the cellar.

This small hole should be the exit of the group of wild cats entering and leaving the cellar. The reason why this pangolin accidentally ran in was probably through this small hole. After all, there is no gap in other places in the cellar, and pangolins cannot appear out of thin air... And for so many years, the oxygen density in this cellar can still enter people, which should also be related to this small hole, and it plays a breathable role.

In addition to these, a small semicircular closet was taken out on the earthen wall at the south end of the cellar and piled up with bluestone bricks.

The bluestone bricks used in this small closet are obviously not from this era. They should have been originally from the Taoist temple that disappeared. As for what they are used for... Zuo Yang didn't say it well, but when he was living in the countryside before, he had seen some farmers leave such a similar small closet at home. The small closet was covered with portraits of the Kitchen God or the God of Wealth. Of course, there were also statues directly placed. During the holidays, a few incense sticks were lit and a few firecrackers were placed to hold a simple worship ceremony, so as to have a good fortune and wealth in the coming year.

The Kitchen God and the God of Wealth are both gods left by Taoism, and there are many people who believe in it.

"No...I'm just talking, I didn't plan to catch this pangolin..."

Bu Ya didn't know what Zuo Yang was looking at. After hearing Zuo Yang's words, he quickly defended himself with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Shh!"

Zuo Yang made a gesture of silence to him and continued to observe carefully in the cellar. After looking at it this way, he did not find anything else special. Then he turned around and said to Heimaochi, "Hei Tan, where is the aura you feel? Can you still feel it now?"

“Meow.”

Hei Maochi nodded, raised a small paw and pointed to Zuo Yang's small closet that had been looking at for a while ago, and said with a wrinkled cat face, "It's right behind me, I can't get over it. That breath seems to be stronger than before, which makes me feel a little breathless. I want to take it myself."

“It’s even stronger?”

Zuo Yang was a little surprised at the black cat's words.

As a successor of the Master of the Ink and the Heavenly Grade, he also had some perceptions of this. Otherwise, how could he find the three copper coins used for divination in the father's office of the Ink Painting Eyebrow, and the ornaments made of dead jade. But what puzzled him was that his perception ability seemed to have completely failed this time. Even though the distance was so close, he still had no feeling.

What's more, Black Cat Chi said that this aura is even stronger than before... There must be something strange about it!

While thinking about this, Zuo Yang was not idle. He turned around and handed his phone to Bu Ya, instructed him, "Please help me light it", and then he came to the front of the small closet with slight hands.

Without understanding the situation, Zuo Yang did not act rashly. He first carefully observed from top to bottom, from inside to outside, and confirmed that there should be no dangerous mechanism here, and finally blew a few breaths and blew up the dust in the fireplace.

"Ahem!"

Bu Ya followed Zuo Yang tightly. The dust immediately choked him and he started coughing, and he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.

Zuo Yang was almost the same. While covering his mouth and nose, he pulled Bu Ji and took two steps back.

Under the light, the dust that was swept was particularly clear, and even this small closet was covered, and almost nothing could be seen.

After waiting for a while, after the dust fell, Zuo Yang walked up again.

It was then that he finally saw clearly that on the bluestone bricks located below the small closet, there were indeed some scratches that could only be formed over time, and these scratches were intermittent, eventually forming a very neat circle.

"This place has indeed been placed in an incense burner. It should be a three-legged round incense burner, and it has been placed for many years before such traces have been formed."

Zuo Yang thought to himself, then he reached out to grop in the fireplace.

These bluestone bricks will give people a cool feeling when they touch them, but after touching them for a while, you will feel a hint of warmth. However, after touching them all, Zuo Yang did not find any other clues from above.

"This small closet is not deep. Judging from the traces of the incense burner, it is impossible for this fireplace to put down any statue except the incense burner. At most, it is to paste a portrait on the inner wall."

Zuo Yang thought in his mind, and his hands touched the inner wall of the small closet again.

The material of the inner wall is not bluestone, but adobe that is almost the same as the wall of this cellar. However, the difference is that the adobe here has some cracks, just like the cracks that appear after the lime wall of an ordinary family is exposed to water, and some places have even peeled.

Zuo Yang just touched it lightly and several thick walls fell off.

"This cellar has been a few years. I remember when I was a child, this place was still good. I didn't expect that it would be cracked after not coming in for more than ten years?"

Bu Ya felt the atmosphere a little depressed and couldn't help but speak.

“…”

Zuo Yang listened to Bu Ya's words, but didn't say much, because he had already found something different behind the falling wall.

They are small circles arranged in compact arrangement, and the diameters of these small circles are about 3 cm...

"You look here and I'll see what's in it."

Zuo Yang gave in to the cliff and moved the lights. When he looked carefully, he found that the small circles were actually cross-sections of small wooden strips, and the material of these small wooden strips should be cypress.

"This is..."

Zuo Yang didn't understand something very well, but he also knew that what he was looking for should be here.

So Zuo Yang broke off the cracked wall piece by piece, revealing the inner part behind which was completely arranged in a compact cross-section of these small cypress sticks of similar thickness.

"Brother, why are there so much wood in it?"

Bu Ya asked in confusion again.

"I don't know either."

Zuo Yang shook his head, then stretched out his hand and carefully pulled out a small cypress stick.

The small cypress stick is not very long, it is only about 30 cm in total.

At the same time.

"boom!"

Zuo Yang's body suddenly stiffened, and a powerful force that Zuo Yang had never felt before came out of the gap left by the small cypress stick.

"Wow!"
