"When! While! While! In the dark of the night, the bell rang intermittently over the silent Yulin Cave, and the owl was startled by the bell and let out a terrible cry, which added to the horror of the night. It makes those who hear it feel a burst of worry and fear.

In a slightly flat place in Yulin Canyon, a white van was parked, and a light was on in the car, and the dim light shone on the people in the car, and the faces were white and very terrifying.

The people in the car, sometimes whispering, sometimes loud, arguing loudly, when the sound was too loud, an elderly woman with short gray hair in the car whispered and stopped, "Speak quietly!" At this time, the person who spoke, lowered his voice, lowered his head and whispered, as if discussing something, afraid of being heard by others, looking up at the window from time to time, such a worry, it is indeed a bit redundant, in the daytime, there are very few people here, not to mention late at night, there is no one, by the light on the car window, long, human figure, dangling, the car looks more gloomy, mysterious.

Outside the car window, I don't know when there was already a figure standing, side, hunched over, ears against the window, sometimes listening quietly, sometimes peeking in, when the people in the car, after speaking, turned off the lights, fell asleep, for a while, when there was a burst of snoring in the car, the black shadow outside the window, took out a knife shining with white light, lightly clicked, the window, the window has been warped a crack, about to be opened.

Suddenly, there was a lightning bolt in the sky, followed by a thunderclap, the people outside the car window, frightened, the whole body shook a little, stabilized themselves, and then tightened the window, the thunder woke up, and the elderly woman with short gray hair who was sleeping soundly in the car opened her eyes and found that there were people outside the window.

'Who' shouted the old woman, then got up and rushed to the car door, opened the door, only to see the figure outside the car flash and disappear into the dark night, in the elm forest. The other people in the car were awakened and looked at the elderly woman in surprise, then stood up and rushed out of the car door, only to see that it was pitch black outside.

Outside the car, it crackled and it started, drifting in the heavy rain, and the heavy rain hit the leaves of the elm forest, making a sound.

Recently, in the southern canyon of the beautiful Yulin Cave, in a dilapidated adobe house with a low bottom, a young man lived in, he looked healthy, everything was normal, but his personality was a little introverted and taciturn, and there was no one else here, talking to him, who did he talk to. When he came, he brought some bedding and food, it seems that he is going to live here for a long time, after he came, he dug some wild vegetables, and there is no problem in maintaining a basic life, there is no electricity here, and there are no other people, occasionally some tourists come, go around, look at the scenery, and leave. During the day, he was all over the mountains, digging some wild vegetables, cutting some wood, and when it was dark, he cooked, and after eating, he went to sleep, and he slept very deeply, as if he was very tired. Three months have passed like this, and he has no intention of leaving, this monotonous, overly flavorful life, for a young man, how can he endure it for a long time!

This year, the south canyon of Yulin Caves, it seems to be a little weird, there are a lot of tourists, come batch after batch, three or five gangs, some tourists are indeed to see the beautiful scenery of Yulin Caves and cave murals, but some tourists see, not like just to see the scenery of the cave, as if they have other purposes, they came to the south of Yulin Caves Canyon, holding shovels, hoes and other tools, look around, dig a dig, some people, but also take out the drawings, on the drawings, draw a picture, as if looking for something,

Mo Feitian and Zhang Ruyi's car stopped in front of the Yulin Cave, Mo Feitian and Zhang Ruyi got out of the car, walked down the steps, to the bottom of the canyon, saw a lush elm forest, there is a river from the elm forest, roaring through, flowing to a low place, from the elm forest can be seen, faintly exposed the tip of the pagoda, there are many caves on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, there are many tourists, but, they hold shovels, hoes and other tools in their hands, and walk to the Nanshan Mountain in the distance, Mo Feitian and Zhang Ruyi feel strange, they don't look at the cave paintings, What are you going to do in the distant Nanshan, what is going on?

According to the analysis of the sheep herders in the southern canyon of Yulin Cave, the reason must be related to this story, this story is told to each other by the sheep herders they are familiar with, and few other outsiders know.

The story is like this: during the Republic of China, there was also a young man, came to the south of the Yulin Cave Canyon, built this low adobe house, and lived, this young man is in Suoyang City, the child of a large family, during the Han Dynasty, Suoyang City was the county seat of Shen'an, his family lived in the county of Ming'an, his grandfather was an official in the imperial court, his family was wealthy, when Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, arrived in the county town of Ming'an, got a serious illness, and was recuperating in his house, his grandfather gave Zhang Qian a melon and cured. During the Three Kingdoms, due to the war, his family was forced to move, the Tang Dynasty returned to Shen'an County, has been renamed Jinchang County Kuyu City, because the Tang Dynasty white robe general Xue Rengui soldiers were in distress Yucheng, ate the city in Suoyang, and rescued the siege, so that the army led by Xue Rengui turned evil into good fortune, people renamed Kuyu City as Suoyang City, Xuanzang Tang monk passed through Suoyang City, in Suoyang City horse market, bought a horse of his family's heavenly horse, met the Hu guide Shi Pantuo, out of Suoyang City and westward. Later, with the diversion of the river, the Heishui River dried up, the lack of water sources, his family was forced to move away, during the Qing Dynasty, his family has three generations in the court as ministers, old people moved back to Suoyang City to live, the emperor valued them, gave them, a lot of gold and silver, pearls, precious stones, jade, gold, ingots and many other priceless treasures, with a large wooden box on the fifteen boxes. If you can have any item in the box and exchange it for money, you can let a small family not lack money for a lifetime, and live a carefree and happy life without worrying about food and clothing. If you have them all, then you will be rich. Back then, in order to build Yulin Caves, their family was the largest contributor. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the army was in chaos, bandits were rampant, and the world was not peaceful, so his grandfather packed the treasure and hid it, and no one knew where it was. When he arrived at his father, the family was in decline, and his father, who was addicted to gambling, gradually sold his house covering an area of 100 acres and 100 acres of fertile land, exchanged it for gambling money, and lost. When he arrived in the Republic of China, his family only had two houses, five acres of fertile land, and lived in poverty. It is believed that all the treasures of his family have been gambled away by his father. At the end of the Republic of China, some people did not believe it, speculated that there were still a lot of treasures hidden in his house, wanted to get his father's family heirloom treasures, framed his father, his father was unjustly imprisoned, tortured and beaten to death, when he died, he saw him for the last time, and quietly handed him a vest, and on the back of the sheepskin mezzanine in the vest, a treasure map was drawn.

At that time, the world was not peaceful, and he did not dare to touch these treasures. I just secretly went to the place where the treasure was hidden and took a look, it was, the underground secret room of the old mansion in Suoyang City. However, there was a powerful man in Suoyang City who wanted to get these treasures, so he fabricated a crime, asked the police to arrest him, tortured and beat him, "Say, where did you hide the treasure?" Don't say, kill you, hit, hit me", "Ah! Yes! I don't have any treasure in my house", "Give it to me, hit hard, hit hard", he was about to be killed.

"Quick, follow me!" At this time, there was a childhood friend, a policeman, wanted to save him, took advantage of the night, secretly opened the prison door, released him, put him in the car, the car to Yulin Cave, handed over to a Taoist priest in Yulin Cave, he was under the care of the Taoist priest, in Yulin Cave to recuperate, after the injury was healed, he turned around in the south canyon of Yulin Cave, turned to the valley in the distance, and found that there was a cave, suitable for hiding things, he decided to have the opportunity to hide the family treasure, hide in the cave.

The police friend who saved him often came to bring him some delicious food, Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon was full, the police friend who saved him, came to see him again, brought a bottle of wine and some braised meat, they were together, drinking wine and eating meat, the Mid-Autumn Festival, he felt never happy, "Drink, drink", "Today, you can come to see me, I'm so happy, drink, cheers", "Cheers, drink", "It's you, save me, thank you!" Come, I'll toast you with a glass of wine", "You're welcome, we're good friends, come and toast, drink" The wine was too much, and they got drunk, so they climbed on the table and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, I woke up with an urgency to urinate, and when I got up to pee, "Ah! "Not good" He touched his body and found that the treasure map on the back of the vest had been torn off and gone, and the treasure map had been stolen, and his police friend had gone somewhere.

"Oops! This is over" He rode overnight to the old house in Suoyang City, the place where the treasure was hidden, fortunately the treasure was intact, no one had moved, he went to the camel circle in the city, there were only five camels, he quietly took them all, put ten of the treasures on the camel body and transferred it to the cave in the canyon south of Yulin Cave, when climbing to the mountainside during the transfer, walking on the last camel, the front hoof suddenly slipped a little, there was a box containing treasures, touched on the mountain rock, the lid of the box suddenly fell off, and part of the treasure slipped into the water of the Yulin River under the mountain, There was no time for salvage. Preparing to transport the remaining five boxes of treasure, it was already dawn at this time, and during the day, there were many people, and they did not dare to carry it, for fear of being discovered, so they had to wait until it was dark to go again, and after the treasure was hidden, they quickly sealed the hole with mud. At this time, he saw five or six policemen coming to Yulin Cave to look for him, he was afraid of being found, caught, forced to let him hand over the treasure, if he did not hand it over, he would be brutally beaten and tortured, he couldn't stand it, so he rode on a camel, walked west along the Qilian Mountain, arrived in Turpan, Xinjiang, sold the camel, bought a house, lived here, and then married a wife and had children, and when he died of old age, he told his wife about the treasure, the location of the treasure, drew a picture, and gave it to her.

Mo Feitian and Zhang Ruyi listened, shook their heads, and entered the earthen house in Yulin Cave, it is said that it was the place where Taoist priests lived in the past, and now it is to receive tourists, Mo Feitian inquired about Wang Xiaogang, in his absence, when he knew, Wang Xiaogang went to Lhasa, Tibet, Potala Palace to help repair the murals, and he has not come back, it will take half a year to complete, that is, he will come back half a year later, Mo Feitian and Zhang Ruyi were disappointed, and it was impossible to see Wang Xiaogang, they could stay in Yulin Cave for three days, so they stayed in the reception of Yulin Cave, the guest room.

"When! While! While! When the bell of Yulin Cave rang again, a white van stopped in front of Yulin Cave, and five people came down, three women and two men, among which the leader was a gray-haired short-haired elderly woman, after they got out of the car, they took out the shovel, hoe, headlamp, metal detector and other tools, and walked towards the southern canyon of Yulin Cave with the gray-haired short-haired elderly woman, "Auntie, are you going to the southern valley?" Mo Feitian met and asked, "Let's go to the southern valley to collect some Chinese medicinal herbs, I heard that there are precious medicinal herbs there, nine-headed desert ginseng," the old woman replied,

When it was almost dark, they came back with tired faces, only to see that they were empty-handed, and they didn't know what precious Chinese medicinal materials they were going to collect. They cook in the car, and when they finish eating, they sleep in the car, and sometimes, they talk about something, and sometimes, they go to bed early.

After dawn, this group of people entered the Yulin Cave Palace, after the incense, out of the Yulin Cave Palace, to the car with shovels, hoes, headlamps, metal detectors and other tools, into the deep valley in the south of the Yulin Cave, came back after dark, and slept in the car. They don't look like they're picking Chinese herbs, they're looking for something, and for a month, they don't seem to be looking for what they're looking for, but they always feel that there are eyes behind them staring at their every move from afar.

Just this group of people, after coming to Yulin Cave, a shawl all white haired, hunchbacked sheep herding old man, also came, this sheep herding old man, the clothes he wore were indeed clean and spotless, if he did not drive the sheep, came to you, you thought he was a strange hunchback tourist, he drove very few sheep, only five sheep, came to Yulin Cave, into the south of Yulin Cave deep in the mountains to herd sheep.

Soon, this group of people, as if to hide people's eyes and ears, only dug a little licorice, Suoyang, Cistanche, etc., on the day of leaving, they looked disappointed, unwilling to look back from time to time, the south canyon of Yulin Cave, got into the car, and drove away.

The old man with white hair and hunchback in his shawl was still far away, leisurely herding five sheep, and it seemed that he was indeed herding sheep. He drove the sheep, walked and stopped, and if he saw someone digging, he would watch from a distance until the person was gone. And he drove the sheep again, and went about grazing them.

It is said that the old man with white hair and hunchback in the shawl is a resident of Suoyang City, when he was a child, he went to Yulin Cave Nanshan every year to herd sheep, and when he was old, he went to Yulin Cave Nanshan every year to herd sheep, the sheep are more and more, the family is getting richer and richer, building a two-story building, it is a model for getting rich in Suoyang City, and the officials in Suoyang City call on the residents to learn from his family, raise sheep to get rich, there are many people who learn, and every family raises sheep, but the sheep are raised less and less, and there are very few people who really raise sheep to get rich.

"Why do you raise more and more sheep, do you have any tricks?" When asked the sheep by the residents why, "The only way to do this is to find a place with abundant grass and to feed the sheep, and the sheep will be herded more and more," he said. I don't really believe the words of the old man herding sheep, "Deceive people, deceive people, and definitely use other methods to get rich"

Residents speculate that he often goes to Yulin Cave to herd sheep, related to the legendary Yulin Cave treasure, it is possible to find the treasure of Yulin Cave, his family must have a treasure map, it is found that he is the grandson of the person who stole the treasure map, he is herding sheep, while looking for treasure according to the treasure map, looking for some treasures that fell in the water of the Yulin River, making a little wealth, making a fortune, now while herding sheep, while looking for more treasures, and often quietly behind the back, to Yulin Cave to find the treasure of the person's every move, it seems as if protecting the treasure, In fact, I want to swallow the treasure of Yulin alone.

There is a young man in Suoyang City, believe in the words of the old man herding sheep, and also believe in the speculation of the residents, because he heard his deceased grandfather say, the south canyon of Yulin Cave, hiding a lot of treasures, this is the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo soldiers besieged Suoyang City, Xue Rengui put a large number of military sounds, hid in the south canyon of Yulin Caves in advance, and relieved Suoyang City, after defeating the Tubo soldiers, hurriedly sent troops to chase the Tubo soldiers, did not care about taking away the treasure of the military sound, and later Xue Rengui martyred the White Tiger Pass, where the military sound is, no one knows since then. He then secretly observed the whereabouts of the old man herding sheep for a few days.

"When! While! While! When the bell of Yulin Cave rang, he also drove the sheep, learned to herd the sheep to the Yulin Cave to herd the sheep, found a place with a lot of grass, let the sheep eat grass, he went around, to see if there was a special place, whether he could find the legendary Yulin treasure.

In this way, there is more than a year, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, from autumn to winter, and to spring, summer, autumn, and it is almost winter, and I have been looking hard for more than a year, and I have not found any trace of treasure, and my heart is full of disappointment, and I have gradually lost interest in finding treasures, if it is not for herding sheep, I don't want to come to Yulin Cave at all. Because his sheep, in the place where the water and grass are lush in Yulin Cave, eat well, get fatter and stronger, and there are more and more sheep.

The weather has become cold, the sheep like to eat fresh grass, less and less, to walk a long way, in order to find fresh grass, today, walked a long way, to the deep valley behind the Yulin Cave, only to find some fresh grass, the sheep desperately eat, the boy sat on the ground and rested for a while, nothing to do, felt very bored, stood up, climbed to the top of the mountain, and to the other side of the mountain, looked down the mountain, saw not far from the grass, there is a pure white bird, never seen such a white bird, very cute, it is eating grass seeds, the boy took off his clothes, crouched and quietly approached the white bird, wanted to buckle the white bird with his clothes, grabbed the white bird, and was about to approach the white bird, the white bird found him, wanted to catch it, and hurriedly flew up, but he couldn't fly high, he landed not far away, as if he didn't fly high, the boy chased over, and pounced on the white bird, the white bird flew up and fell, every time he was about to catch it, just a little bit, unconsciously, turned over one mountain after another, the boy was finally tired and panting, sweating, Unable to walk any longer, he lay on the ground, panting, and looked up to see the little white bird, standing on a blade of grass in the distance, winking mischievously at the boy, as if laughing at the boy's incompetence.

"Gah!" Suddenly, the little white bird, with a scream, rushed into the sky and disappeared.

It was dark, and the boy was worried about his sheep, and was about to go back to see them, so he stood up, and saw that not far away, there was a strange and bright red wild flower, so delicate, red, and so charming. The boy wanted to take it off, so he took three steps and two steps, hurriedly ran to the wildflower, stretched out his right hand to grab the root of the flower and gently pulled it out, felt that he couldn't pull it out, stretched out his left hand, grabbed the root of the flower, and pulled the wildflower off with both hands, due to inertia, the boy also sat on the ground with his ass, smashed the land a little, the butt was strangely painful, the young man carefully put the wildflower in his pocket, rubbed the sore buttocks, stood up, just about to raise his feet and walk forward, suddenly, felt the ground under his feet sink, and the whole body fell down, for a while,

The feet are next to the ground, the surroundings are dark, I can't see anything, I only see a bright point when I look up, I don't feel hurt, I touch the soil under my feet with my hands, it's a little wet, it seems to have fallen into a dry well, touch, touch, touch a lot of things, grab one and see, it's a bone of an unknown animal, I threw it away in a panic, it's terrifying, my heart is beating like a drum, this is not going out, the bones of dead animals, this is over, I can't get out, I will die, the young man feels death at this time, death threatens the young man, The instinct to survive makes the teenager feel everywhere to see if there is a way out. The boy was nervously sweating all over, his hand touched a place that could be grasped, the boy used his hands and feet hard, climbed up, saw that this was a black hole leading to the distance, climbed along the hole, climbed to the end, the front was slightly brighter, and it was also more open, turned over and jumped down, saw that it was a big sand dune, stood on the top of the dune, walked a few steps forward, his feet sank into the sand, felt the soles of his feet, was cushioned by the wood, and felt the pain of the stuff, reached out to the soles of his feet, grabbed the thing, took it out and took a look, this thing emitted a golden light, take a closer look, It is a gold ingot. The boy frantically dug up the sand under his feet, only to see a mountain of gold made of gold ingots, pearls, precious stones, jade, gold and other treasures under his feet, and the golden mountain emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the whole cave.

"Ah, I found the treasure, I finally found it, I got rich, so many gold ingots, pearls, gems, jade, gold objects are all I have", "Ah, I'm so happy, I'm the richest person now", the boy picked up this jade necklace, picked up the gold object again, and his hand was full, gold ingots, pearls, gems, jade, gold and other treasures, watching, laughing, shouting, the boy was going crazy with happiness.

"But, how can we transport these treasures out?" the young man calmed down and said to himself, "By the way, as long as you find the exit, you can go out, and when you go out, you can find someone to transport the treasures."
