Chapter 248: Tomb of the Dragon Maiden (1)
The name of the village is Niujialing Village, a small village whose name cannot be found on the map. However, the legend of the tomb of the dragon lady has been passed down from generation to generation and word of mouth from ancient times to the present, and has been passed down in this small village. Master had been there once in his early years and remembered the story.
On Niujialing, behind the village, there is a very large stone, like a naturally formed stone gate, embedded in the mountain. The old people in the village all said that behind the stone gate is the tomb of the dragon girl, this door is absolutely not open, once it is opened, the dragon girl will be angry, and the water will instantly overflow from the inside, flooding this place completely. So, for thousands of years, it has been quietly embedded here, and it has never changed.
When the Japanese came here, they heard about it somewhere, and they were thinking about breaking the stone, and the villagers all knelt there and begged bitterly, but these pleas only met with the Japanese shouting more arrogantly, clamoring to use cannons to smash the broken stone.
A cannon was moved in front of the stone gate, and the cries of the villagers provoked them to start killing on a large scale. However, in the end, the cannon did not sound, because it was broad daylight, and the weather was clear and windless, but almost everyone present at the time heard the sound of the rushing water crashing against something from behind the stone gate, like the sound of waves on the sea. It seems that in the next moment, the stone gate that is in the way will be smashed and the flood will wreak havoc on the whole land. The Japanese were all frightened, knowing that since they came to the land of China, there have been many such strange things, and every time they have suffered heavy casualties. I won't blow up the door now. Gloomy pushed the cannon back to the barracks.
The villagers who survived the incident spread the word, adding credible evidence to the ancient legend, and naturally no one would go there to touch the bad luck. And the reason why there is a 'can't open' rule. You have to go back in time to antiquity.
At that time, the version that circulated was only that there was a dragon girl tomb on the back mountain! There are always a few nights a year when the mournful cry of the dragon maiden comes out of it and reaches the small village below the mountain, but people do not know where the tomb of the dragon maiden is. The old people will use the dragon girl as a means to scare the children, "disobedient words." The dragon girl in the back mountain will take you to the dragon girl's tomb! "It's used too much, like wolves are used to scare children somewhere else!
There is a little boy in the village who herds cattle and drives them to the back mountains to graze every day. Everything was fine at first, but for a while, when he came back every day, he found that one of the horns of the strongest bull was stained with red liquid. It's astringent to the touch. It was like the red powder was stained with water, but the horns were getting sharper and sharper day by day. This has been the case for many days, and the curiosity of the cowherd baby has been provoked.
On this day, after the child went up the mountain, he let go of the rope as usual and let the cow go to find grass to eat. The difference was that instead of finding a shady place to sleep or play on his own, as he had done in the past, he quietly followed the cow. After seven turns and eight turns. Then he saw the ox stop in front of a large and large stone like a stone gate. Staring at a small hole next to the stone door with his horns. After a while, the red liquid coming out of the small hole stained the horns red.
What surprised him the most was that after the bull had been on top for a while, the stone door moved to one side with a "boom" sound, making a gap just enough for the bull to walk into. The bull walked merrily into the stone gate, and when the child saw this, he quickly followed the bull and got inside.
Behind this stone gate is a very damp stone cave, the ground is full of stagnant water, and there is a flowing underground river next to it. The cave is very large, and thanks to the bull in front of you, you won't get lost. After walking for a short time, the child suddenly tripped over a stone on the ground, and when he got up, the bull was gone. Hurriedly got up from the ground, and had no choice but to wander around the cave by himself. He couldn't remember how many turns he had turned, and he was stunned by what he saw. The stone walls were all shining, huge glowing beads, and piles of gold, silver and jewelry were piled up on the ground, and the source of the dark river was probably here, but all the treasures thrown in it were all kinds of rare treasures! Children don't understand the value of these, they just know that their eyes are going to be glazed!
The bull was now meekly kneeling beside a beautiful woman in over-the-top palace clothes, and the woman was holding a handful of grass in her hand and sending it into the cow's mouth. It is estimated that she heard the movement, and the woman looked up at the cowherd baby, her expression was a little surprised! But he soon returned to normal, smiling and waving to the cowherd.
The child obediently moved to the woman and stood still, nervously unable to spit out a word, he would never have thought that there would be a woman who lived alone in the stone cave, although this stone cave looked very beautiful, but it was more likely to remind him of the female ghost fox demon that the grandfather in the village had talked about!
"How did you end up here!" The woman's voice is also very ethereal, and there is no woman in the village who can have such a good voice.
"It brought me here!" The cowherd pointed to the bull.
The woman followed the child's hand to see the bull and nodded, "Yes, it's the only one who can come in here!" Is this calf yours? ”
"I put it, but it's from the village! I'm not alone! "The child came back very honestly. Seeing that this woman was very kind, her nervousness and fear were alleviated a lot, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are you?" Why did you live here? ”
The woman lowered her head when she heard this, as if she was sad, and her voice was much more ethereal, "I have no choice but to stay in this place, just because I can't die!" After a long silence, he looked up at the cowherd baby, "But now it's okay, someone is finally here!" Just tell me when I can get out of here! ”
But he said that the child who herded the cow was also a little clever, and when he heard the woman say this, he felt that she was hiding something! Strangely asked, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm the Dragon Maiden!" The woman's eyes were fixed on the cowherd baby, and she opened her mouth to answer his question!
The cowherd baby was stunned, but he still tried to make himself very calm. The image of the dragon girl, in the village, has always been the image that can stop children from crying at night, and the cow baby thinks that she has to find a way to save herself from this place!
