Chapter 9 Unstoppable Curiosity - Seeking the Dragon Cave
The wind blows and the grass is gone.
Liu Wenbin and the others came to the foot of Changshan Mountain, and saw that here, the grass and trees were in full bloom, and the trees were standing in a forest, and there were birds chirping on the branches from time to time, as if they were humming songs loudly to praise this forest.
The flowers and plants on the ground emit a faint fragrance, as if they give this forest a faint fresh perfume smell, making people feel that this forest makes people smell so comfortable.
The sound of the river's stream "ticking", like the beautiful sound of a crystal pipe, is playing music to the birds in the trees......
"Click......"
The iron hooves of several black horses were trampling on this beautiful forest, and the sound of iron hooves was so rapid that it was the horses of Liu Wenbin and others who broke into this quiet forest.
"My lord, the river. It's mainstream! ”
Jiang Yiqu stretched out his right hand and pointed to a river in front of him and said.
Liu Wenbin and others looked at the river referred to by Jiang Yiqu, which is the mainstream of the Changshan area, and there is a noisy sound of rapids in the "lala" place, and all the streams and small rivers are diverted from here.
"Drive!"
Liu Wenbin spurred his horse and ran in the direction of the river in front of him.
"Drive!"
Yang Hong and the others saw that Liu Wenbin had already galloped in the direction of the river.
"My lord, this should be a mainstream river, and all the water sources in Changshan Annexed flow from here. Lord, and look at it again, it comes from the north and flows down from top to bottom, and it is clear that if we go up this river, we will find the place where the river originates. ”
Yang Hong looked at the rapid flow of water and said to Liu Wenbin.
"Yes, there's a water source up there, but do you know where this is?"
Liu Wenbin first looked down at the rushing river, and then slowly looked at the high mountain road and asked his entourage.
"The subordinates are ignorant and don't know what the lord says, please make it clear."
Jiang Yiqu clenched his fists and said to Liu Wenbin, wanting Liu Wenbin to explain everything.
"Close your eyes and listen quietly, what kind of sound is there on this mountain besides the sound of the rapids rushing down?"
Liu Wenbin closed his eyes as he spoke, listening carefully to another voice hidden on the mountain.
Yang Hong, Jiang Yiqu and the 10 cavalrymen heard Liu Wenbin say this, and they also closed their eyes and began to listen carefully to what Liu Wenbin said about the voice of another race hidden in the torrent from the mountains.
"Whoa...... Whoa......"
At the foot of this mountain, Yang Hong and the others did not hear the hidden sound at first, but when people's attention was focused on one point, it was like having the ears of the wind, and their hearing was very good, and they could hear some very subtle sounds.
"Roaring ......"
"Do you hear that?"
Liu Wenbin closed his eyes tightly and asked the people around him.
"I heard, the roar of a beast! There's a weird feeling. ”
A cavalryman replied to Liu Wenbin.
"It's a cow's cry, it's very high-pitched!"
Jiang Yiqu also said with his eyes closed.
"Is it? Be? Is that thing? ”
Yang Hong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes widened, and he was stunned and surprised.
Jiang Yiqu and the others were also surprised by Yang Hong's behavior.
"Lord, I heard it too, it's just a cow barking, what's there to be afraid of, Mr. Yang?"
Jiang Yiqu shook his head and waved his hand to laugh at Yang Hong, who was frightened.
"There will be cows here? The villagers were so poor and hungry that the cattle that cultivated the land had long been slaughtered and eaten. ”
Yang Hong looked at Jiang Yiqu with a serious face and said.
"Then why is this happening?"
Jiang Yiqu still asked Yang Hongdao with a confused expression.
"Yiqu, do you remember what the village chief said this morning?"
Liu Wenbin looked at Jiang Yiqu and asked.
Of course, I remember that the village chief said: There are many mountains on Changshan, and there is a high mountain that looks like a dragon's head headed by the east of Changshan, which is called "Longtou Mountain"! There is an evil dragon on the mountain, and it often roars, and its sound is like that of a bull......"
Jiang Yiqu stopped when he said this, and realized the meaning of what Liu Wenbin had just said.
"Lord, is this Longtou Mountain?"
Jiang Yiqu stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain road in front of him, looked at Liu Wenbin and asked.
"Yes, as soon as we got off the mountain, we went all the way east to look for water, and we have come to the foot of Longtou Mountain before we know it."
Liu Wenbin looked at the mountain road with a serious face and said.
"If there is a roar like a cow here, is there really a dragon here?"
Liu Wenbin pondered silently in his heart.
"Lord, if there really is an evil dragon, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
Yang Hong asked Liu Wenbin with a worried face, as if he had an ominous premonition in his heart, but what he was most worried about was always Liu Wenbin's safety.
"Yes, but I never believe in this nonsense, if there is really an evil dragon, the villagers on this mountain would have been killed by it a long time ago."
Although Liu Wenbin said that he didn't believe that there was a dragon in this world, in fact, he just felt that he had never seen a real dragon when he was so big, and with a curious and brave heart, he really wanted to see the legendary dragon.
"Lord, but this is very dangerous, you still have a heavy responsibility on your body, you can't take risks for this! You are responsible for the life and death of Liu Jiajun and all the villagers on Changshan! ”
Yang Hong tried his best to dissuade Liu Wenbin from going up the mountain, but in his eyes, the most important thing was the life of Liu Wenbin, the lord.
"Sir, I don't need to say more, I have made up my mind, and no one can stop me!"
Liu Wenbin said very resolutely, no matter how Yang Hong persuaded him, he still shook Liu Wenbin's curiosity.
"Drive!"
Liu Wenbin didn't say a word, and spurred his horse to run towards the high mountain road.
"My lord! Lord! ”
"Drive!"
Yang Hong shouted to Liu Wenbin, and when he saw that he didn't even look back, he also spurred his horse away.
"Drive!"
Jiang Yiqu and the 10 cavalrymen saw that Liu Wenbin and Yang Hong were running towards the mountain, and because they had the responsibility of guarding, they had to follow closely.
Liu Wenbin and others galloped upwards along the direction of the source of the river, and soon they had come to the mountainside of Longtou Mountain, here and the foot of the mountain, there is a pleasant scenery, birds and flowers, even if you stand on the edge of this mountain road, you can also have a panoramic view of Changshan Mountain, this mountain is shaped like a dragon's head, looking straight to the north, because China's topography is high in the north and low in the south, so the direction of this Longtou Mountain is called "the dragon raises its head".
"Roar!!! Roar!!!! ”
Liu Wenbin and the others sometimes heard a deafening roar from the right, so they looked to the right, and saw that the source of the sound was already covered with the long weeds and wild flowers, and the water source was flowing from the ground where these weeds were overgrown, and the sound of the water was even more noisy than that at the foot of the mountain just now, like surfing.
"Look, lord!"
Accompanied by the noisy torrent, Jiang Yiqu could only raise his voice and shout to Liu Wenbin, stretching out his hand to the tall weed pile next to the water source, and there seemed to be something black in the middle of the weed pile.
"What's that? Cavalry go over and see! ”
Liu Wenbin and the others looked at the place where Jiang Yiqu stretched out his hand, and the noisy sound also made Liu Wenbin shout to the cavalry behind him, ordering the cavalry to go up and pull away the pile of weeds to see what it was.
After hearing the order, two of the cavalrymen immediately stepped forward to pull the pile of weeds to both sides, only to see a stone tablet carved from black obsidian standing in front of Liu Wenbin and others, and a dragon head carving ornament was also carved on the top of the stone tablet, this ordinary stone tablet has nothing to say, but the three words on the stone tablet have already stunned Liu Wenbin and others.
"Seek? Dragon? Hole? ”
Liu Wenbin was dumbfounded, and read out the three words on the stone tablet word by word, Yang Hong and the others obviously didn't want to come here, but at this moment, Liu Wenbin was already a little excited in his heart.
"Roar!!! Roar!!!! ”
The deafening roar of a cow was heard again from the water source............
