Chapter Eighty-Five: Exploring the Shadows

Before setting off, Zhou Yi had asked a few old people in the township about the cave ruins.

As far as the old people say, a long time ago, Dongtian and Lotus Mountain were indeed connected, and you could row over. However, about a few decades ago, an incident happened, and no one ever visited the cave again, and even the cave was gradually forgotten on the headland of memory.

The characters of the older generation were very surprised when they heard Zhou Yi ask about the cave ruins.

"Yi Yanzi, why are you asking about this? There are water ghosts in that turtle cave, don't go! "The old man is the same old man who used to fish in the cave. It's just that in recent years, the fish in this cave have become more and more clever, and basically don't take the bait, so he doesn't fish here.

The Spirit Turtle Cave he said was the water-covered cave ruins that Zhou Yi thought.

Speaking of the name "Spirit Turtle Cave", Zhou Yi's memory of the cave ruins became a little clearer, and he remembered that in that big hole, where the light could shine, there was a huge disc-shaped stone, like a big turtle coiled in the water, so the locals called the hole "Spirit Turtle Cave".

However, few people mentioned the ruins of the cave, and even the name "Spirit Turtle Cave" was gradually forgotten in the dust.

"Oh, Uncle Yu, I'll just ask. Isn't that curiosity? I heard that the Spirit Turtle Cave used to be connected to Lotus Mountain, and you can take a boat to go there, isn't it? "Because this old man has been fishing for 365 days, the people in the village call him Yu Bo or Old Man Yu, but they have forgotten his original name.

"yes, how do you know? You're not really going anywhere, are you?! Yi Yanzi, you are still young. There are achievements again. It's better to spare your life. The cave is evil. I can't go! Yu Bo looked at Zhou Yi and asked carefully, he was really anxious. It's a pity that you are so young that you really entered that ghost cave and can't get out.

Besides, in case people think that it was him, an old immortal, who led the precious seedlings of the Zhou family to that hole. Even if he dies 10,000 times, it's not enough to compensate others!

"Uncle Yu, I really just heard some rumors, I was curious to ask, and I didn't mean anything else." Zhou Yi'an said in his heart.

"But you said the water ghost - what time is this? What the hell happened in the cave? Zhou Yi said curiously.

"Okay, since you asked, I'll tell you, lest you don't know what to do." The old man said.

"It's been decades. I was young at the time, and I used to sail back and forth from the cave. I used to go fishing on the Lotus Mountain.

It was on that day. When I was about to sail again, my wife stopped me. Said that today is a bad day, and I can't get out of the water.

When is that? The four old ones are all broken, where can I believe this superstitious words? But my mother kept pulling me, but in the end it didn't work. A few other friends went.

However, this time he went, and never came back. ”

"None of them came back? What about corpses? Did you find it? Zhou Yi asked hurriedly. He thought that maybe he could find some clues from the corpse.

"There are no dead bodies, where did the corpses come from!

We have all walked through the waterway in the cave, it is flat and flat, there is not even a water nest, who knows that the seven or eight people go in, and they will die without a body. ”

"Did anyone go in and look for it?"

"How can you not look for it? Several old men who had lost their sons went in and did not come out. Even the body was not found. Until now, no one has been in it again.

You little offspring, you always think that our old man is making up words to deceive you, so you don't know ......" The old man glanced at Zhou Yi, snorted, and was afraid that Zhou Yi would still be suspicious, so he continued: "Crazy man, do you know?" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yi didn't know what the "crazy man" had to do with this matter.

The crazy man mentioned by the old man Yu is a madman in Qingshan Town. When Zhou Yi was young, he was seen crazy and messing around the streets, and until now, he can often be seen - ten years like a day, barefoot, muddy clothes, hands always in his arms, looking like he is protecting something.

"That's when his dad got rid of the 'crazy man'. He was still young, and when he heard that his father was gone, he cried and broke his brain, and he became what he is now. ”

Zhou Yi heard that the "crazy man" was crazy because of crying, but he never knew what it was, but now he knows.

Zhou Yi learned about the story of the Spirit Turtle Cave, and he was sure about the matter of the Lotus Mountain there. But what the "water ghost" in there is, he is still a little confused.

But come to think of it, it can't be related to any gods and ghosts.

He was more and more interested in probing.

As for calling Shi Tuan'er and the others, it was because when they told them earlier, the two said that they would go to explore together, and at this time, it was not easy to regret it.

Of course, the most important thing is that he still has some bottom in his heart about protecting the two. Big deal, if the situation is critical, knock the two unconscious and put them in that space.

Besides, I don't know if the things in it are still there?

Zhou Yi propped up the bamboo pole, and the water waves slid to the side, making way for the boat. The Upeng boat borrowed the road and moved forward steadily.

The two and a half old men in the boat had already set up their positions, and you and I would drink one cup at a time, of course, just tea--by the blue color of the lake.

The wind on the water is extraordinarily soft, three points softer than the soft waves, removing ten points of the heat of the summer, like a beauty's hand, gently brushing Zhou Yi's body, making him more and more enjoyable.

It didn't take long for the wind to turn cold, and it was a little cold; The sun seemed to dim as well, and soon, even the golden yellow receded, leaving only the canopy of the mountain shade.

It seems that in an instant, I have arrived in another world, from the warm smoke of early summer, into the autumn wind, and a little bit of winter cold.

But the black hole in front of it, like a mouth of a giant beast, is colder than the winter and gives people a sense of oppression, making people fear and retreat.

The ship gradually sailed into the darkness, the air became more and more damp, and the stone walls on both sides climbed layer after layer of green moss for I don't know how many years, old green and old green, looking slippery and slippery, it was by no means a pleasant feeling.

Not only the light, but also the water dimmed, and the lake, which was originally clear and clear, gradually deepened and darkened, turning into black in green, still calm and waveless.

When the ship actually sailed into the turtle cave - at this time, even the sound of the wind became a luxury.

In the darkness, there was only the sound of drops of water dripping from the cave walls, and the sound of oars plucking the water.

The sound of the oars, in the dark silence, in the darkness that has been silent for decades, is particularly conspicuous. It reverberates, reverberates, reverberates in the ruins, not knowing where it will eventually disappear.

In the cabin, the two of them were gone. (To be continued.) )
