The wind blew mercilessly against us, and with a hint of dampness, the four of us ran wildly up the staircase, which was so long, so long, as if there was no end to it. As we get higher and higher www.biquge.info the dark aperture gradually expands, and we can see the surrounding situation clearly even if we don't need a permanent light.

Now we are on a cave staircase, which is connected to a bronze staircase, in the shape of a flashlight from the seventies and eighties. The stairs in the cave aisles are like those wooden ladders, which are very narrow, and if we are not careful, we will step on the air, which has to slow us down.

Walking in the gloom, I found a miraculous petroglyph on the wall of the cave, which depicted farming, hunting, and several children holding paper kites, and behind them stood a man and a woman with a slight smile, and from their soft eyes, I judged that this man and a woman might be the fathers and daughters of the children.

However, this petroglyph is not like what this strange Chu tomb should have, it is delicate, gentle, and very humane, like a beautiful thirst for life. Beneath the petroglyphs lay several skeletons, small bronze swords in their hands, looking as if they had committed suicide.

This led me to the possibility that they might be the craftsmen of this Chu tomb. During the Warring States period, those who were generally assigned to build tombs were sentenced to death. These people may not be able to stand waiting for death in ancient tombs, so they choose to commit suicide. Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a trace of sympathy, under the feudal system, there are many sad things like a mustard, and if I were trapped in such a dark place today, I would choose to be like them.

Before I had time to look more, Chen Yu turned around and urged me: "Liuzi, what are you looking at, hurry up!"

I answered with a slight voice and followed in his footsteps. At this moment, if the old ancestors and the little Taoist priests are all there, then how surging my mood should be for the escape, but no...... I glanced back at the bronze aisle that I could no longer see, and my mind suddenly sank, I didn't like this feeling, so I immediately lowered my head and patted my head with my hand.

At this time, the whole air was dull, dull like a black and white silent movie, and when I looked up, an endless abyss appeared in front of me, followed by a bridge with a thick fog, and Chen Yu was on the bridge, looking back at me indifferently, calling my name. In the thick fog, he lost his old look, looking very pale and weak, from his eyes, I saw a trace of desolation, he slowly turned around, walked forward, I stopped him: "Lao Yu!"

He didn't look back, but stopped on the bridge, looked ahead, and said lightly: "Liuzi, I'm leaving......"

"Where are you going?" This atmosphere makes me feel an inexplicable sentimentality.

He turned around, smiling with a hint of bitterness, then turned around and continued on.

He didn't answer me, and at this moment, I was stunned in my heart: "Chen Yu!" I shouted, and two lines of tears unconsciously fell from my eyes.

After the headache gradually subsided, I came back to reality, looking at the old man walking in front, he looked at me, gasped, and said, "What's wrong?

When he asked, I immediately remembered that I had just called his name for no reason, so I shook my head and said with a wry smile: "It's okay......"

"Hurry up if it's okay!" he said to me, turned around and continued to run, shouting excitedly, "Damn, grandpa, I'm finally going to climb this damn staircase." ”

I silently wiped the tears from my face and retracted my sadness. In fact, I've come to a new understanding of my own headaches. In these days, in the midst of horror and oppression, I often have very real hallucinations that seem to guide me and tell me the dangers ahead. However, I'm not sure if this is due to my nervousness, or if it is really a portent?

I raised my head and silently looked at the exit not far away, it was only limestone, but it was carved into the image of a divine beast by a skilled craftsman, and the divine beast was carved lifelike, with teeth and claws, a hideous face, and eyes staring at Chen Yu.

At this moment, I looked at Chen Yu's back and blurted out: "Lao Yu, come back!" These words were not under my control, as if they were out of instinct, like a fire alarm system installed at home. However, at this moment, Chen Yu, who was excited, could not stop his steps, and he rushed out of the narrow exit with all his brains.

"Ahh

Suddenly, he screamed, and my heart tightened, and I took three steps and two steps, pounced on him, and grabbed his hand. Now he hangs under the rocks, and below him is the abyss.

"Damn!" I squeezed out the word from between my teeth, and Baocai immediately came over to help me when he saw this, Chen Yu was very heavy, I gritted my teeth, and the wound on my hand that was bitten by the corpse cocoon was painful.

"Uh!" I used up my last strength with a distorted face, and the witch came up to help, and the three of us forcibly pulled a fat man of 170 pounds up.

"I'm ...... Lean on ......" At this time, Chen Yu was so frightened that he kept chattering. And I gasped, clutching my arm that had been worn away by the rock, and stared blankly at the scene in front of me.

In front of us is a huge cave, which is larger and deeper than the previous one. There are all kinds of strange little holes in the caves, some of which can hold a cow, some small enough to be the size of a fist, but most of them are the kind of holes that can drill people. The small cave is surrounded by dense zigzag stone patterns, like vines climbing on old trees. And on the top of this cave, there are dense stone balls, which resemble brilliant pearls.

Everything here is strange and rugged but unique, like an infinitely enlarged version of the rockery, spectacular beyond words. And in front of us there was a long suspension bridge, which hung silently, cold and dead.

There is a long waterway under the suspension bridge, and the distance between the waterway and us is tens of meters, and if you fall, it will be absolutely exciting. Strangely, however, the water was deadly silent, without any flow or sound, and its color was a little yellow, like a river, and from my vantage point it was emitting a faint green glow, as if it were poisonous.

I wondered in my heart, the water in the cave is generally very clear, it is mostly the groundwater in the karst aquifer, it should not be so muddy and lifeless.

I asked the shrine maiden in confusion if there was anything powerful about the water, and she shook her head, saying that she only knew the name of the waterway, but she didn't know why it was the way it was. And the name she said made me think the water was even more weird.

This water is called "Netherworld Dead Water", and there are many explanations for the Netherworld, most of which mean darkness, but the only thing that makes me think of this situation is a passage in Cao Zhi's "Wang Zhongxuan": Woo Master, Yong'an Netherworld. The meaning of the underworld here is the underworld, and this water reminds me of the Lethe River.
