Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Mountain Goddess Bronze Man

After a busy day, there was finally silence.

The miners in the copper mines have fallen asleep.

On the surrounding earthen walls, several thugs, holding torches, swayed leisurely.

In the distance, in several Tucheng buildings of different heights, the lights were bright, and the sound of drinking, guessing and shouting, came out from inside from time to time, making the quiet night more popular.

In the depths of the thatched hut that no one cared about, in the dark and inexplicable corner, three figures crawled out faintly.

They pressed against the roots of the earthen wall, groping silently, as if looking for something.

I don't know how long later, in the dark, someone suddenly whispered.

"How is there a well here?"

"I don't know, I've never been here before..."

Then, there was a very soft sound, like the sound of something falling to the ground.

"There's no water in the well...", another person opened his mouth.

"There's nothing else around here, that's where you say?" the first man's voice rang out again.

"That's right, no one usually comes here. ”

"There's nothing strange about this, huh?"

"Anyway, since you're here, look for a low-lying and moist place to see if you can dig through the earthen wall..."

The first man's voice, before he could finish speaking, was interrupted by a muffled sound of "pop", as if something had fallen heavily to the ground.

"General Wang, General Wang... Are you alright?" The third man, obviously anxious, called quietly.

The three figures in the darkness were the three Wang Baoshan who lurked all the way.

Wang Baoshan, who was looking for a low-lying and moist place just now, unexpectedly slipped under his feet, and accidentally fell into the well.

By the time Liu Qing and He Dadou found out, he had fallen to the bottom of the well. Fortunately, the soil at the bottom of the well is soft and not too far from the wellhead, otherwise Wang Baoshan would have been crippled if he had not been killed.

"General Wang, you're okay!" Liu Qing was very anxious, blaming himself for being negligent for failing to protect Wang Baoshan.

Although Wang Baoshan was not crippled, but he also fell not lightly, and after a long time, he relieved himself and said in the direction of the wellhead: "I'm fine......

He Dadou heard Wang Baoshan say that it was okay, so he said to the well: "It's okay, General Wang, you wait for a while, I'll go find a rope and pull you up." ”

"Okay, be careful..."After Wang Baoshan finished speaking, he endured the foul smell of corruption at the bottom of the well, and struggled to get up.

The bottom of the well is as black as ink, and he can't see his fingers, and Wang Baoshan can only touch it with his hands.

He first touched the surroundings and found that the bottom of the well was not big, and the walls around it were dry and solid, and it seemed that the well had been dry for a long time.

When he stepped on the soft earth, he felt something hard, and he didn't know what it was. According to his senses, some of them were like round stones, some of them were like branches, scattered at the bottom of the well, and there were quite a few of them.

At this time, if he wanted to see it, he couldn't see anything, and Wang Baoshan didn't dare to touch it rashly.

He had no choice but to ignore them and continue to peep along the wall of the well to find a place to climb.

But as he touched it, he suddenly felt that his hands were empty, as if there was a hole in the wall of this well. When he touched it again, he found that it was not a hole, but a door more than one person high, to be precise, a hole.

What could it be? The cave of the female ghost? Or the female bronze man?

Wang Baoshan didn't dare to guess, he couldn't see anything at the moment, and he didn't dare to move, so he could only wait for Liu Qing and He Dadou above to find a rope to save him.

Time passed little by little, thinking of Qiao Lanyi outside the mine, and more than a hundred soldiers, still waiting for their signals, he was anxious, and he didn't know what to do.

At the bottom of the dark well, Wang Baoshan thought a lot, and it seemed that tonight's action could not be carried out. Whether he was wrong or not, he didn't figure out what was going on, so he rushed in.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen into a dry well like I am now.

He even thought of the sand bear, the fierce man who used to be in Guanping City, and was finally thrown into a dry well by a few of them, and fed to the mice.

I wonder what the sand bear thought of that night in the last moments of his life?

Just when Wang Baoshan was thinking wildly and drowsy, a little light lit up dimly in the cave door on the wall of the well.

Perhaps it was an illusion, and he rubbed his eyes and found that the glimmer was still there. It may have been that I was too anxious just now and didn't notice it for a while, but now that I calmed down, I saw that glimmer of light.

At this time, the top of the dry well was silent, obviously Liu Qing and He Dadou went to find the rope, and they couldn't come back for a while.

What is the glimmer of light in the door in front of you?

Wang Baoshan couldn't guess either, he felt that he should go and take a look, anyway, staying at the bottom of the well, waiting for rescue is not a solution, it is better to go and see, maybe he can find a way out.

It is said that when walking at night, as long as you walk to a place with light, you can get rid of the darkness, which should be true.

Wang Baoshan thought of this, and he didn't delay, he took out the woodcutter he had been carrying with him from his arms, held it in his hand, and suddenly felt a little sense of security in his heart.

I'm relieved to have you there, old man.

In this way, Wang Baoshan held the woodcutter in one hand and touched the wall in the cave door with the other, and walked slowly towards that little light.

I don't know how long I walked, how far I walked, and the glimmer was still so big, hazy, the same as before, which made people not real.

Wang Baoshan walked and walked, feeling that the glimmer had always been like that, as if he himself would never be able to move forward. can't help but make him a little conscious, it can't go on like this, even if he walks tired to death, he may not be able to walk to the glimmer.

So, he turned around and wanted to go back.

But after walking a few steps, Wang Baoshan found in vain that the glimmer of light was in front of him.

Just now, he was obviously walking towards the glimmer, and then turned around and wanted to return the same way, why did the glimmer appear in a place where it shouldn't have appeared?

Wang Baoshan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, what the hell is going on, has he really encountered something evil?

When He Dadou said that this area was a bit evil, he didn't believe it at the time, but now that it has really happened, his heart can't help but get nervous.

After thinking about it, he closed his eyes, stopped looking at the glimmer of light, and continued to walk forward.

Strangely, this time he didn't have the same as before, and he didn't feel like he could go to the end.

But when Wang Baoshan was walking, he found that there was a faint light in front of him, which was getting brighter and brighter, so he opened his eyes.

It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, he couldn't help but stand on the spot.

In his eyes was a cave about the size of a house, empty and silent, with a lone lamp on the ground in the middle.

What was even more strange was that the lamp, which could not be called a lamp, was a somewhat broken stone bowl, which did not show any peculiarity, and in which was a round and bright bead.

At this time, it was this bead, emitting a faint light, that reflected everything around it.

Next to the stone bowl, there was a woman in white sitting cross-legged, this woman was very handsome, and she looked to be only twenty years old.

Her black and bright hair under the green silk, slender willow eyebrows, fair cheeks, delicate and elegant.

Dressed in snow-white plain clothes, under the faint light emitted by the beads, the whole person was imprinted, and it became more and more beautiful and noble.

At this time, she was sitting on the ground with her eyes slightly closed and her breath smooth, as if she was in a settling position, motionless. There was nothing around her but the stone bowl and the strange bead.

Wang Baoshan looked at this situation and couldn't help but stand stunned on the spot, and said in his heart, Is this the legendary female ghost? Why is she so good-looking, and she doesn't look scared at all.

"You're the thirteenth person to come here, but they didn't find me, and I'm dead...... Tell me how you found me?"

Without waiting for Wang Baoshan to take a closer look, the woman in white who was sitting quietly suddenly opened her mouth.

"I..." Wang Baoshan was startled when he saw her speak, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this point, he was horrified to understand what he had stepped on under the dry well.

"What are you?" the woman in white raised her eyebrows, and there was some impatience in her tone.

Although she kept her eyes closed, she seemed to know Wang Baoshan's every move.

"I just be..." Wang Baoshan saw that she was a little impatient, so he thought about how he fell into the dry well, how he saw a little glimmer of light, why he was confused, and touched here...... and other strange things, 1510 said it.

At the end, he was a little apologetic, and said, "I didn't know that the girl was here, I really bothered..."

"Well..."After hearing this, the woman in white nodded slightly and opened her bright eyes.

Wang Baoshan looked at her clear eyes, and suddenly felt clear and calm in his heart, so he asked, "Where is this? Who is the girl? Why is she here alone?"

"I am the essence of gold and bronze, and I am the spiritual creature of heaven and earth conceived by the aura of heaven and earth in this copper mountain... This is my home..."

The woman in white has red lips and white teeth, and her voice is beautiful and moving between opening and closing.

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. Thinking about my own experience, why is it so unbelievable?

There are a lot of strange things that have been experienced before and after. He also heard Du Xiaosan say that between heaven and earth, some strange and inexplicable existences cannot be explained by common sense.

And the female bronze man in front of her may belong to those magical existences!

Thinking of this, he asked, "It turns out that the girl is the mountain god of this copper mountain..."

"Huh...... It's the people outside!" The woman laughed suddenly.

"Outside..."Wang Baoshan was confused for a while by her words.

"Although I am here, I still know everything outside..."

"Since the girl knows everything outside, I won't hide it......"

Wang Baoshan didn't look like a bad person, so he told the purpose of his trip one by one, and finally said: "I don't know if the girl knows how to get out, and now I don't know what time it will be, and the companions outside will be very anxious if they see me not going back for so long..."
