Chapter Twenty-Eight: A False Alarm

Of course, Luo Zhuyuan couldn't leave, he was still listening intently, but he never heard the loud sound of stalactites falling to the ground, according to the scene in the movie, the sky should fall apart at this time, the male and female protagonists rushed quickly, and the heels of the boulders fell wildly, thrilling.

"Hey, those stalactites are about to break, why can't you hear the sound?" he couldn't hold back and told the truth.

Ling Caixia leaned against a stone, and suddenly giggled when she heard the words.

"Look at what you're fuss about, are you sure you studied geology?" she questioned.

Luo Zhuyuan scratched his head: "I have roughly read a few professional books. ”

Ling Caixia couldn't cry or laugh: "I thought you had studied very deeply, and you were almost frightened by what kind of atypical karst landforms." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Luo Zhuyuan couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Ling Caixia didn't say anything more sarcastic, but patiently explained: "This is actually the unique karst cave landscape of Bailong Island, we locals call it spring silkworm molting, in fact, there is no mystery to who wears it, it is the surface fission caused by periodic dehydration." ”

"Periodic dehydration?" Luo Zhuyuan looked confused, there are so many ways to this thing.

"yes. Ling Caixia explained, "Bailong Island has clear droughts and floods, groundwater is scarce for a long time, although there will be three or four months of continuous rainy weather every year, but mainly concentrated in April to August, during this time the accumulated water, forming the dripping stalactites we see." But as the rainy season passes, water loses, and prolonged drought, the surface of the massive stalactites begins to crack, and now is the month when the cracks are at their worst, and you hear a distinct cracking sound, very much like some kind of insect metamorphosis. ”

Luo Zhuyuan patted his chest and said, "So that's the case, it almost scared me to death." ”

He pursed his lips: "No wonder you hear the voice but don't react, you are used to daring." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before I came. "Ling Caixia is empathetic and authentic.

Luo Zhuyuan's face was slightly red, and he also felt that he was a bit of a snake, mainly because he had read too much information, and he was afraid of Bailong Island in his heart, so he was a soldier.

He tried to adjust his mentality, and if he continued like this, he had to show his feet, but too many unknowns still made him nervous.

Ling Caixia took the initiative to change the topic: "Then shall we go to see the biggest cave?"

"Go, of course go, they've all come here, how can you give up halfway. Luo Zhuyuan said busily, "But I was in a panic just now, and now I don't know where the location is, what should I do?"

"Don't worry. Ling Caixia smiled slightly, "Isn't this me?" ”

She stood up, this time not shouting, but silently looked around, and the dim cavern immediately fell silent.

Luo Zhuyuan noticed a phenomenon at this time, although the cave seemed dim, but in fact there was still light, it stands to reason that the cave is located in the belly of the mountain, it should not be in such a state.

"Senpai, how can there be light in these caves?" he asked.

Ling Caixia didn't understand: "For me, it's the same whether there is light or not." ”

"It's not ......" Luo Zhuyuan said for a while, this question was purely an idiot question.

Ling Caixia avoided his embarrassment in time: "I seem to know how to go, let's hurry up, otherwise it will be dark when we go back, don't you still have to go down to the island?"

Luo Zhuyuan hurriedly said: "I didn't expect the island to be so fun, in fact, when the next boat comes, I can go down to the island again." He took the opportunity to find a high-sounding excuse, and at this current progress, even if he was to be driven away, he would not leave.

A trace of inexplicable joy flashed on Ling Caixia's face, but she didn't delay, stretched out her slender fingers, and said softly: "Go that way, it must be right." ”

"Good. Luo Zhuyuan was not verbose, took her arm and left.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

About an hour later, the two had already arrived at their destination.

The light here seems to be brighter, and the cave is magnificent. The entire area of the cave is almost the size of a football field, and the stalactites that stand on the ground are impossible to see at a glance.

What made Luo Zhuyuan even more secretly surprised was that there were obviously traces of artificial axes and chisels here, and he unconsciously raised his vigilance, and a strong premonition told him that he was getting closer and closer to the core of White Dragon Island.

He was looking around, Ling Caixia quietly pulled his sleeve, and then said in a low voice: "You must follow me closely, this is our temple, I heard that there are complex mechanisms." If I accidentally trigger the trap, my dad will definitely scold me. ”

"Temple?" Luo Zhuyuan's inner uneasiness rose sharply, could it be that this is the location of the general altar of legends in the rivers and lakes, and a strange aura arose spontaneously in his subconscious.

After all, he was not very old, and he didn't have much social experience, so he couldn't imagine what kind of situation such a mysterious organization would be, so he broke in by mistake.

Ling Caixia hurriedly comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, we're just here to visit, don't make a loud noise, don't touch things, it'll be fine." ”

She paused: "Today is February 13th, and there is no assembly in the temple, don't be nervous." ”

Luo Zhuyuan nodded blankly: "Do you usually come to the rally too?"

"Huh-" Ling Caixia laughed, "How could I possibly participate in the rally? In principle, girls are not allowed to come to the temple for activities. Besides, I'm not interested......"

"Then ......" Luo Zhuyuan stopped talking, "Will we ......?"

Ling Caixia's pretty face secretly turned red again, she didn't reveal that under some special circumstances, girls can still come to the temple to worship, such as finding their in-laws' family and the like.

Of course, she didn't speak, but said softly: "Let's just walk around inside, the so-called assembly is just a custom, we are all atheists, there is no need to taboo anything in this era." ”

Luo Zhuyuan thought about it, this is indeed reasonable, and if he guessed correctly, this is the location of the main altar of the nine-tailed fox, and the things they have done that hurt the heavens and reason have long been contrary to the original meaning of worshiping God, and it is more appropriate to call it a demon cave instead of a temple.

The two fumbled around, and Luo Zhuyuan only found a few Buddha statues and two pillars with braziers, and the others were empty.

He also deliberately took a closer look, only to find that the cave was enshrined in the eighteen Arhats.

It's so interesting to have a fox offering two arhats.

Ling Caixia suggested pouring incense into the Arhats, Luo Zhuyuan naturally did not object, and there were ready-made sacrificial supplies and tinder in the dark grid of the pillar, and the two worshipped religiously.

Just as they were about to leave, a black shadow flashed rapidly at the entrance of the cave in the distance, but because of the distance, the two who were not very vigilant did not notice it.
