There are many caves in the rocky mountain, this is because when the volcano erupts, the lava gushes out from the crater, and the underground pressure is not completely released after the eruption of the main volcano, and many small volcanoes or caves will be formed, the lava is solidified on the outside during the cooling process, but the inside is still high temperature flowing, as if it is evacuated in the middle like a tube, if there are some sporadic eruptions, it forms a kind of network tunnel structure, that is, the local people say various caves, these caves are intricate, some entrances are directly exposed on the surface, and some are hidden deep underground.

The nearest large cave to Longmen Village is called Wolong Cave, which is like a natural tunnel, leading almost straight from the entrance at the foot of the mountain to the rocky area where the sarcophagi are placed, as if opening a shortcut at the foot of the mountain.

However, the stele cave mentioned by the village chief is some distance away from the mountain village, and the entrance is even more strange, if it were not for the locals, they would not have thought that there was a two-person wide hole under the vegetation vines.

The old village chief said that the people of the village have explored the cave for generations, but they only dare not go forward after walking to a cave as big as a castle, and it is said that there are many branch holes extending from the side holes, and some people get lost and never come out, and it is said that there are steep slopes and sharp stones inside, if you accidentally fall down, you will be injured or stabbed to death.

But the reason why it is named stele cave is because there is a stele in the cave, which has long been covered with moss, but after cleaning it, it is found that there is not a word, and the people in the village cannot figure out whether it is made by man or naturally formed.

However, there are always some cultivators who come to inquire about it, saying that this cave is connected to the fairy cave, and it is said that as long as you enter the fairy cave, you can obtain immortality. But those people never came out after entering the stele cave, and I don't know if they really found the fairy cave.

The people in the village are not good at cultivating immortals, so they guessed that those people were lost and died inside. But there are always some young people who meet to go on an adventure to find excitement in their spare time, but they all pay attention to safety, so many years except for outsiders who insist on going deep and do not come out again, the people in the village are safe and sound, but since last year, several people who have entered the expedition have died inexplicably and accidentally, and their bodies have been stolen.

"You mean, those cultivators said that this stone tablet cave is connected to that immortal cave? So why don't you just go into the fairy cave? ”

"The immortal cave is a legend, who knows where, it was first mentioned in the Han Dynasty's "Sou Xian Collection": 'There is a pearl cliff in Jiaozhou, the black mountain is like a kettle, there is an immortal cave hidden in the forest, and the stele cave is a fairy inside, and it gives immortality.' But this Black Rock Mountain is thousands of miles away, is it just us? Moreover, how can countless caves be explored, if you want to say that the stone tablet, there are many caves, Su Dongpo also left a Mobao, the literati and the are the best this, we are full of stones here, and it is a monument to carve it casually. Therefore, the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and this kind of supernatural writing is really unacceptable. ”

Suddenly, I heard a noisy cry outside the door, only to see Ji Bin bring in a little child, and when he saw the old village chief, he shouted, it turned out that this was the third son of the widow of the king of the north of the village, and his father died within two years of birth, and now he came to report the funeral, and his second brother fell from the mountain and died today.

When the old village chief heard this, he hurriedly hugged the child, and two lines of tears flowed.

"My hard-working child, tell grandpa, how happened to your second brother?"

The third boy said, this morning, the second brother took him to climb the mountain to play, originally the children in the mountain know the mountains well, but when he walked halfway, his second brother suddenly turned around and laughed weirdly, the eyes were dull, and then jumped down the mountain, as if he was going to find a short view, although he fell on a tree with a crooked neck, but still no breath. The three boys were so frightened that they couldn't walk on the spot, and finally staggered back to report the news, and the widow broke down, but fortunately, the neighbors helped to find the body quickly, so they quickly asked him to come and report the news.

Li Lao wiped away the child's tears and asked.

"Child, you can call me Uncle Li, has your second brother been to the Stone Tablet Cave before?"

"Yes, just a week ago, I was too timid to go in."

"Then has he been out of the cave for a few days, has he behaved strangely?"

"No, it's the same as a normal person."

At this time, the old man rushed in and interrupted Li Lao's speech, and the old man frowned and was about to reprimand, but Li Lao stopped the old man and signaled to the old man that it was okay.

"The owner, Master Li, don't blame the little one for losing the rules, I'm really in a hurry to eavesdrop outside, I won't tell you, we are all gearing up to eliminate harm for the village!"

"Hmph, eighth, why are there more and more rules, if it weren't for your Li Ye's broad-mindedness, I would definitely punish you today, remember, I welcome you to get ahead and volunteer, but the rules and etiquette can't be messed up, since Li Ye doesn't care, you can tell me, what are the rules and regulations of you?"

Lao Ba hurriedly kowtowed to Li Lao, and then prepared to slap himself twice, but Li Lao shook his head and stopped, and several people also came over, so they listened to Lao Ba.

"A few masters, this time the matter is very strange, now there is another person who died because he has been to the stone tablet cave, a few of us discussed, we must arrange according to the two aspects of the cave outside the cave and inside the cave, outside the cave, it is not excluded that there are really thieves who steal the corpse, short legs are the best martial arts among us, the big brother Xiong is extremely powerful, the two families in the village proposed to guard the tomb is not advisable, how can the thief appear around the coffin, simply our brothers find a place to hide quietly in the distance, to see if the thief comes out."

"Good guts! Keep talking! ”

"The things in the cave have just been described by Grandpa Ji, it is complicated, we feel that the stone tablet inside is very weird, there are so many outsiders who want to go in and ask for immortality, so we think that there must be something abnormal in the cave. But to explore such a complex cave, we must be ten thousand times more careful, then we must be prepared, tomorrow I will go back to Haikou with Lai Yu to buy ropes, lamp oil, Lai Yu said that we can buy guns through his uncle, so that we can go into the cave to explore the foolproof. Please show the owner! ”

The old village chief had already been in tears, stood up tremblingly, picked up the old man, and bowed deeply to the old man.

"Owner, the villagers saw the villagers with tears in their eyes, I should have tried my best to entertain you, but now I bother you to help the village, and the villagers thank you!"

"The old man can't be like this, Zheshou, since I am waiting for you to take me in, I have to share your worries, besides, my brothers are all good at the top, you can rest assured. Eighth child, just do as you say, don't do it tomorrow, after lunch, you will set off to buy, and you have to ask Brother Ji Bin, the funeral customs in our village are like the Central Plains? ”

Ji Bin shook his head again and again when he heard this, the village was already poor, how could there be any extra food and money to engage in the battle of the Central Plains and the flowing water banquet of thanksgiving guests, at best, he invited a monk and Taoist priest to recite a scripture, and then stewed some mutton. What's even more tragic is that although this sarcophagus is tightly sewn into the water, it is very laborious to make, and the stone alone has to be found by each family, and then ask the craftsman to dig and carve from the inside out, after all, it cannot be put into the earth, and everyone hopes that the place where they lie after death can be stable and comfortable.

Therefore, if people have a little spare money, they will prepare a sarcophagus for themselves as soon as possible, so as not to lose the money, and if people make a mistake, they will not be able to find the things to be buried.

Therefore, the wealth of the village can be reflected in two aspects, one is the stone of the courtyard wall and the stone house, if it is a poor family, the stone is not trimmed, purely by virtue of the craftsman's craftsmanship uneven and uneven brick up, but the rich family will trim the stone, the local name is "four sides of light", many Yangshan people dream of this life can have a four sides of the light house.

Then there is the afterlife, a rich family like the old village chief hoarded the boulders early, and then asked the craftsmen to make the sarcophagus in advance, and some poor people, often poor wait until the person dies, the sarcophagus has not yet been completed, the corpse can only be put first, even if it stinks, there is no way.

This widow's family belongs to one of the most impoverished households in the village, a woman pulls three sons, where is there spare money to prepare a sarcophagus, but there are unforeseen circumstances, the old village chief asked Ji Bin to donate a sarcophagus at home to solve the urgent need.

When the matter was settled, the third boy went to reply to her mother, and the old village chief excitedly beckoned Ji Bin to prepare the meal, but the old man stopped him.

"Old man, let's have a light lunch at noon, eat whatever you want, and then Brother Ji Bin will go over to arrange the funeral. In the afternoon, please take us to the sarcophagus in the rocky area to have a look, and in the evening we will eat your black goat, and we have also bought some good wine in Haikou, I want to toast you! ”

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to the owner, then let's eat some sweet potato pickles at noon, I'll take you to see the sarcophagus in the afternoon, and take a good drink at night, don't say it, I want to be old too."

After lunch, the old man wanted to squint and rest for a while, and the old man and the two gossiped in the courtyard, but Li Lao whispered.

"Owner, do you know that the so-called immortality of cultivators, aside from the changes in physical functions, can stay young and rejuvenated, what else?"

"Oh? What else is there besides this? I don't know, I don't know, please tell me, brother. ”

"To avoid trouble, the owner has not practiced Neidan, when the practice is in-depth, especially after the improvement of kung fu, it will be very sensitive, and will be aware of some things that will happen in the future, sometimes there will be scenes, sometimes my heart will jump, after lunch, I suddenly feel frightened, I feel that this time we are involved in this matter, it may not be simple, and I hope that the owner must be careful when considering everything."

"Don't hide it from my brother, I myself eat the bowl of rice of tomb robbery and treasure exploration, how can I not know that this matter is weird, there is no tomb, only a sarcophagus, and opening the coffin to take the corpse is not a property, is there anything special about the flesh of the people in this village? And as you said, there is no such type in witchcraft, and I have a vague feeling that something unusual exists. Let's be careful when we go to see the sarcophagus in the afternoon. ”

Not long after, the old village chief woke up, Lao Ba and Lai Yu had already gone to Haikou quickly, and the rest of the people went out lively. On the way, I met Ji Bin, who was going door-to-door after arranging the funeral, and Li Lao specifically asked if there was anything unusual about the corpse, Ji Bin shook his head and said that there was nothing special.

Because the people in this village can't enter the soil after death, they have the most respect for the corpse, and they don't let it be inspected at all, Li Lao dispelled the idea of inspecting the corpse in person when he heard it, after all, he was still an outsider, so he went out of the village with the old village chief.

Sure enough, through a dense forest, I saw a hole more than one person high in the mountain, standing there with gusts of wind, as the old village chief entered, everyone was surprised, reflecting the light, the stones inside were all red, and the space changed greatly, at the beginning it was like a narrow road in the alley, only through two people, and then it suddenly became larger, fortunately, there are always some holes like skylights in the middle of the way, which are always bright, otherwise if this long distance is walking in the dark, the depression is really afraid.

Along the way, the old village chief said that this Wolong Cave is the passage leading to the rocky area in the village since ancient times, if you walk along the foot of the mountain, it will be several times more distance, so people will cut off the sharp stones in this cave, and slowly repair them to today's appearance, those holes on the top are also the gift of nature, walk in it during the day, see the light clearly and coolly, even if the rainstorm continues, there will be no water here, all flow out along the gaps under the cave.

This Wolong Cave is indeed deep and long, fortunately there are no side branches, and it is almost straight, about half an hour, a burst of light in front of you, a big hole suddenly appears in front of you, go out from here, where is there dense vegetation in front of you, it is a sea of stones at all, large and small densely spread on the ground, only weeds grow from the gaps, and not far away, you can see a black sarcophagus arranged in order.
