At 12:18 p.m., Laowu Mountain Spirit Cave, the bottom of the cave.

This is a pot-shaped cave with a narrow mouth and a wide bottom, and a height of about 256 meters.

The base is special, an area the size of a football field, incredibly convex, surrounded by dense shrubs and overgrown weeds between the rock walls. At the bottom of the rock wall at the north end of the cave, there is a hole in the cave where the cold air hits, the size of two or three basins, very dark and deep. If you roar at the entrance of the cave, the roar will suddenly sound, melodious, and endless, giving people a sense of silence and slaughter.

And the Yanhusuo, which is full of flowers, grows at the bottom of this convex hole.

Therefore, when digging, you should always pay attention to stabilizing the center of gravity of your body, in case you accidentally fall directly into the hole.

At first, he wanted to go deep into the bottom of the cave, and Fan Jianqiang was still a little frightened.

Because, let alone drilling in a cave, even rock climbing, he has never tried it.

But he quickly calmed down and said to himself twice in succession: I can't bear my body, I can't practice courage!

Fortunately, Zhang Qi and the others knew that Baliang had never done this thing of drilling a cave, and explained the relevant essentials over and over again, and repeatedly reminded them to check the status of the safety buckle on their waists at any time to prevent them from sagging or falling off.

Dayong was even more worried, so he tied two ropes around Fan Jianqiang's waist one after another, and tied one end of one of the ropes to his waist.

When he really entered the bottom of the cave, Fan Jianqiang found that although the Yanhusuo here was dense, it was mixed with many equally dense shrubs, and even his every breath could quickly hit the surrounding rock walls and quickly jump into his eardrums.

So, at first, the work was not to dig, but to cut down.

Because Zhang Qi said that cutting is clearing, and digging after clearing the field will be much more efficient.

And because the vegetation at the bottom of the cave is so lush, and some of the shrubs are even years old, it takes a lot of energy to cut them down, and they need occasional rest and hydration, so the work was slow for a while.

So much so that by noon, only the relevant felling work was to be completed, leaving only a small area at the northern end near the hole in the cave.

The three of them rested for a moment, then grabbed the rope and got up, intending to clear the remaining area as soon as possible.

At this time, at the entrance of the hole above his head, a catty voice came: "It's time to eat!" ”

As he spoke, he saw a rope wrapped in cloth at the entrance of the cave, which was probably food and the like.

Yes, Fan Jianqiang has already made arrangements to arrange a pound to be responsible for logistics support.

For example, build a makeshift stove, make some noodles, boil some boiling water, and prepare for post-excavation shipment.

Fan Jianqiang smiled and said, "Big brother, I've worked hard for you", and then told Dayong to pick up the slowly falling cloth package, and then said to Zhang Qi: "Let's finish the zuihou point, and then start the meal, eat at that time, it will be more fragrant, hehe." ”

Zhang Qi readily agreed, and said with a smile: "Third brother, working with you, I will be energetic!" I've been admiring it, I originally thought that your body couldn't withstand half a day's toss. Unexpectedly, you are not inferior to me at all. Dayong whispered to me just now, saying that our third brother probably has muscles in his bones, not ordinarily strong-"

Immediately, a pleasant laughter came from the cave, which was very melodious and tactful.

In fact, how did Zhang Qi and Dayong know that Fan Jianqiang had been gritting his teeth to support, although he was almost exhausted.

Because he knows that leading troops to fight a war, an official must not only have a strategy, but also have a sense of soldierhood.

In other words, it is not to command everyone to "rush me", but to lead everyone to "rush with me".

In this way, vowing to be a lifelong brother, and being respected as the "third brother", is also the same reason: if you can't even stand these simple pure strength work, how can you lead everyone to charge in the urban torrent in the future?

However, while cleaning up the zuihou area, an inadvertent discovery made Fan Jianqiang rub his eyes for a while with difficulty in confidence-

***********

At this time, Yamashita had already exploded.

Because, someone has already gone to Laowu Mountain to investigate, and the first thing he said after coming back was: "There are indeed people digging treasures in Laowu Mountain, and when they get to the mountainside, they can still see fireworks, and when they run back, they happened to meet Yu Xiaolian and Fan Jiuliang who went up the mountain, and they estimated that they really went up the mountain to help!" ”

This time it was repaid, and the Lu family's small shop suddenly became a news release center, and all kinds of discussions spread to the village at a rapid speed, even Lu Zhiqiang, who had just returned from Shili Town, was convinced.

Old Man Tang, who is familiar with the customs and folklore of Shili Village, was also invited to the Lu family's shop.

As soon as he heard that someone was digging a treasure in the spiritual cave, Old Man Tang immediately panicked, trembling his long white beard, and shouted: "Can't dig it, can't dig it!" For decades, the spiritual cave has been inhabited by cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, so strange that no one has ever dared to approach it! ”

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly brought a stool to Old Man Tang, and helped him sit down and said.

Also, this old man Tang is almost ninety years old, his ears and eyes are clear, his health is exceptionally good, he can walk around by himself, and he can also count the old things in the village from the past to the present. Most of the red and white ceremonies in the village have to invite him to be there, first, to ask him to guide the customs and rituals, and secondly, to have a long life.

Now, hearing what Old Man Tang said, everyone was naturally shocked.

As a result, everyone was extremely curious about the fact that they were repeatedly told by their parents not to go to the spiritual cave to juggle when they were young, and they couldn't wait to hear the details.

Sitting tremblingly on the bench, Old Man Tang stretched out his right hand and stroked his long beard, and then said gloomily: "You don't know, this spiritual cave is not an ordinary cave, but a pot cave that the gods used to bless the peace of our Shili Village." In other words, the cave is in the shape of a teapot, and the first god caught all the nearby cows * ghosts and snakes * gods into the hole, and then sealed the entrance of the cave with fairy energy, which was exchanged for hundreds of years of peace and contentment in our Shili Village. ”

At this moment, everyone held their breath and stared, and they didn't dare to breathe.

After all, the origin of this spiritual cave is not only to solve doubts, but also to live and work in peace and contentment in the entire Shili Village.

"In the late Qing Dynasty, there were defeated rogues who fled to the mountains, and coincidentally got into the spiritual cave. As a result, more than ten days later, the officers and soldiers of the Yamen of Shili Town chased after them, and found that they had already been lying at the bottom of the cave, and there was not a drop of blood in their bodies, and they had become a hideous-looking dried corpse! ”

"Wow-"

"It's horrible!"

"Is it the cow * ghost snake * god who was locked in it sucked up the blood, right?"

"Eight taels of boys, are they going to die this time?"

"Do you need to ask? Don't interject, listen to Old Man Tang continue! ”

Some people seem to have finally fulfilled their wish for decades, and sighed: "It turns out that my father and mother beat me to death at that time, and that's why it's for this reason!" My father, my mother, you have a spirit in heaven, and my son thanks you for saving your life—"

At this moment, the old man Tang's cloudy eyes revealed a heart-wrenching worry: "If it's just eight taels and they suffer, that's it, the old man is worried that it will affect the entire Shili Village!" ”

Hearing this, the whole house suddenly boiled, desperately urging Old Man Tang to go down.

"Shili Village has lived and worked in peace and contentment for hundreds of years, in exchange for the peace of mind of the ancestors, so they moved. As for where to relocate, no one can know, so they can only ask the Jade Emperor. Isn't there a stone wall halfway up the mountain leading to the spiritual cave? It was also built at the end of the Qing Dynasty in order to prevent people from entering the mountain to destroy the immortal energy of the sealed cave. I mean, if someone really enters the spirit cave, then the immortal qi will be destroyed, and the soul of the cow * ghost snake * god will also come out-"

"Ahh

"Oh, Shili Village is going to suffer!"

"Baliang, this kid, where is the treasure to dig up, he is basically digging graves for everyone in our Shili Village!"

Someone couldn't hold it anymore, so he got up and ran out of the door, as if he was instantly possessed by a cow * ghost snake * god -
