Chapter 7: The Secret Cave Explores the Way Home

Long Shaocong and Meizi returned to the cliff again, and found that the entrance of the cave was a mess of weeds and footprints, and it was obvious that people were frequented these days.

Looking at the nervous Meizi beside him, Long Shaocong's heart was mixed. At the entrance of the village, in the face of Meizi's forced questioning and those resentful eyes, Long Shaocong had to tell the truth.

It's just that he doesn't know how to explain it to Meizi, because even he himself is confused and entangled in many issues. However, he could see that Meiko seemed to have accepted the fact that Ohno had left, and except for shedding a few tears, she did not react too violently, but asked to go up the mountain with him.

Just when Long Shaocong was hesitating about whether to enter the cave, he suddenly saw a flame floating in the cave, high and low, flashing, in the dark cave, sometimes red, sometimes green......

Long Shaocong felt that Meizi was holding his arm tightly, and couldn't help patting Meizi's hand and comforting: "Don't ...... Don't be afraid. ”

It's just that even Long Shaocong could hear it, his voice trembled obviously, and he couldn't hide the fear in his heart at all. When he saw this fire, he first thought of "ghost blowing the lamp", but after thinking about it, the so-called ghosts all come out at night to move, and now in broad daylight, where does the ghost fire come from?

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a lot more at ease. The fire was getting closer and closer, and Long Shaocong vaguely saw a figure running out quickly, hurriedly pulling up Meizi, hiding behind a rock, and looking around.

After a while, I saw a man dressed in sackcloth, about five feet tall, bald, with a stubble on his face, out of the hole. Since he had just come out of the darkness, the man couldn't help but stand still slightly, squinting his eyes to adjust to the warm sunlight outside.

Powerful pills! Long Shaocong recognized at a glance that this person was Ohno's father, that is, his current "father", Dalimaru.

At this time, Dalimaru had already opened his eyes, with a look of surprise and fear on his face, looked left and right, and found that there was no one around, so he threw the torch casually, hugged a long object in his arms, and hurried down the mountain.

The two of them walked out from behind the rocks, and Long Shaocong looked at the back of the big pill gradually moving away, and couldn't help but wonder. After contemplating for a while, he quickly picked up the torch on the ground that had not yet burned out, turned to Meizi and said, "I'm going in, you wait for me here, if the sun goes down and I haven't come out yet, I don't have to wait, when nothing happened." Go home on your own. ”

After speaking, just as he wanted to leave, his sleeve was suddenly pulled by Meizi, "No, I want to go in with you." Long Shaocong turned around and found that Meizi was quietly watching him, and since he confessed to Meizi, he found that this little woman had distanced himself from him.

At this time, looking at her eyes, Long Shaocong couldn't help but think of Ohno, sighed, and said, "Okay." Then, he took the lead and walked in.

The cave was dark and damp, and the silence was terrifying, especially the uneven ground, and both of them almost fell down several times. In the turbid and pungent air, there was a slight fishy smell, and the torches swayed, sometimes glowing with a bleak green light, which looked even more eerie.

Meizi was still following Long Shaocong at first, but then she grabbed his arm tightly in horror and didn't dare to let go anymore. Long Shaocong's heart was also beating hard, if it weren't for the fact that there was a girl by his side and he was holding on to his face, he would have run back a long time ago.

The two of them clung to each other like this, one foot deep and one foot shallow, hesitated, and after seven turns, they walked for about half an hour, and suddenly saw a large hall appear in front of them, and suddenly opened up.

Long Shaocong approached and found that there were burnt torches in the four walls, and without thinking much about it, he lit them one by one, and just when he wanted to light the last one, he suddenly heard a scream from Meizi, which startled a spirit, and the torch fell to the ground.

I saw that Meizi's face was pale, her lips were purple, and her body was shaking, obviously extremely frightened. Long Shaocong followed Meizi's eyes and looked at the right corner, "Ah! I was so frightened that I couldn't help but take a few steps backwards.

He saw that in the corner on the right, there were countless broken arms and corpses, and the dry red blood stained the ground, and under the light of the surrounding fire, it was eerie and terrifying, and the hair of the terrifying person stood on end, and the soles of his feet were cold.

And each corpse is incomplete, some have lost their heads, leaving a short neck, black and red terrible; Some of them had broken arms and thighs, and there were white heads lying around......

Long Shaocong settled down, picked up the extinguished torch on the ground, used it as a wooden stick, moved it step by step, slowly approached the "corpse pile", held the wooden stick tightly with both hands, trembling and picking up several corpses on it, and found that it was layered inside, horizontal and vertical, and couldn't help retching.

These corpses all have a common feature, the heart is black, and it is obvious that the heart has been removed after death. Judging from the shape of the corpse, all the dead were women......

What's even more bizarre is that the faces of each deceased are smiling, a look of intoxication, envy, and surprise, and there are several corpses, as if they have just died, and their pink cheeks are still flushed with a red tide that has not receded......

"Ahh Meizi found a fishbone-shaped pendant from the corpse, and immediately couldn't cry, choked up and said, "This is...... Sister Peach's. ”

It seems that the missing women in the village are here. Not human? Devil...... Long Shaocong vaguely seemed to have grasped something in his heart, and when he figured this out, he didn't worry much about being afraid. He raised his head again and looked around the environment, only to see a yin and yang gossip pattern under his feet, and the roof of the cave was dotted with star patterns, and he guessed that it should be the Big Dipper Seven Star Array.

In the center of this hall is a pile of cracked pottery shards, as well as several pieces of broken yellow paper. Long Shaocong is not archaeology, and he is not a tomb robber, so he is naturally not interested in the age of the pottery shards, and what caught his attention was a neat crack on the wall.

This gap is clearly not a natural crack, but an artificial one. Long Shaocong and Meizi approached, pushed hard with both hands, and found that it was a small secret door, which could only be used by one person to enter and exit.

Long Shaocong casually picked off a torch and entered the secret door with Meizi one after the other. The space inside is much smaller, about five meters square, and in the middle is an empty knife holder, and from the contrast between the dust on the frame and the cleanliness of the grooves, it can be seen that the knife on it has just been removed......

"Look, there seem to be words here." Meizi gently stroked the rock on the right side with her hand. Long Shaocong immediately walked over with a torch, quite a feeling that Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao had strayed into the Guangming Peak Tunnel, and what they wanted to get in front of them might be the Mingjiao Peerless Learning-Qiankun Great Shift.

"It's Chinese characters, but unfortunately I don't know them, if only my grandfather was here, he could ......." Mei'er was talking, when she suddenly heard Long Shaocong read aloud:

The Heian period was not peaceful

Alien demons are chaotic in the world

The warriors of the Dao were all killed in battle

Siye Li Shu is grieved

The Three Righteous Men of Middle-earth descended from heaven

Help Lai Guang overcome difficulties

All the demons are calm

Six hundred years later, dialect Huan

The reincarnation of the world is more fantastical

There are a variety of views before and after life

A flash of red light

Fire and water are not for the sky

Long Shaocong finished reading this poem under Meizi's suspicious gaze, and thought: "Judging from this poem, it should be a group of demons who came to the Heian era and harmed the world, and later three people came to Middle Earth to help pacify the demons." ”

From a literal point of view, Long Shaocong is not sure of the direction of "Lai Guang", based on the experience of later generations, he thinks that it may be the name of a dynasty, or a person. But what puzzled him the most was not here, but "dialect huan after 600 years", could it be that although the demons were pacified for a while, it would take 600 years to be completed?

The later "if a red light suddenly appears, the fire and water are not in the sky" should refer to the present, and the red light is another catastrophe. Because, the fire and water are not relieved from the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes, Long Shaocong remembers, the hexagram is not in place, the six hexagrams are out of place, the yang occupies the yin position, and the yin occupies the yang position, which is the image of yin and yang disorder, which also coincides with the "earth is the sky" in the back, which proves that it will be a great disaster for the sky to collapse and the earth to fall......

"Hey, there's still one over here." Just when Long Shaocong was pondering, Meizi found that there was another poem on the left side of the poem, which was written more casually, and the handwriting was different, and it was only four short sentences:

Whoever started the trouble should end it

The road is rugged and wide

If there is a calamity, bow again

The treasure blade returns to the Lord

Immediately below, there is a third, which is slightly playful and more like a limerick compared to the first two:

Ann may not be safe

Chaos is not necessarily chaos

After a hundred years of peace, there was chaos

After a moment of chaos, Wan Shi'an

Fortune and misfortune are uncertain

It's better to be happy in the world

These three poems are different in handwriting and style, and should have been written by three people. Compared with the first poem, which says that the world will reappear in the world, the second poem seems to imply that it is the same person who caused the disaster and ended it, and everything is in the way, and the evil will not prevail over the good, and after some twists and turns, the disaster will eventually be calmed down.

As for the third song, it seems to say that there may not be chaos, and peace is not necessarily a blessing, and chaos is not necessarily a disaster. One peace and one chaos, one disaster and one blessing, all in the way of one yin and one yang, everything has a fixed number, peace and chaos are just a morning and a night, the difference between one after the other, and it is better to be a loose person who is happy with it......

Long Shaocong looked at Meizi and found that she was even more confused. The two of them made another lap in the small hall, and nothing was found. Long Shaocong couldn't help but be disappointed, thinking about it, there was no hope for him to go back, could it be true that he was going to live in a foreign country? When I think of this, I can't help but lament.

At this time, the two of them had their own hearts, Meizi saw everything in the cave, and silently thought in her heart: It turns out that what grandpa said is the truth, there are indeed demons in this world, so the mysterious disappearance of Ohno must be related to demons. Thinking of Ohno's mischievous smile and agile figure in the past, the happiness of two people playing in front of the village, wading in the stream, and playing in the forest, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, and tears came out of my eyes, like spring rain like silk, falling to the ground drop by drop.

Seeing this, Long Shaocong walked over with emotion, stroked Meizi's back, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, only a long sigh. Meizi grieved more and more, and leaned on his shoulder. One was homesick, the other was thinking of his old friend, and he snuggled silently, forgetting the darkness around him......

The warmth of the two overcame the fear in their hearts, but they did not know that the real danger was slowly approaching. At this moment, a person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, his fiery red hair fluttering in the wind, a pair of red pupils on his fair face, staring at the cave viciously, his fists clenched, his body trembling under anger......

But above the leaning of this person, on the rock of about 100 meters, there stood a person wearing a nine-beam Taoist crown, wearing a gray Taoist robe, a silk waist tie, a gray middle coat, water socks and cloud shoes, and a slanted Zongwei floating dust behind his back, his face was like a full moon in three autumns, his eyes were indiscriminate, and his beard was fluttering in the wind.

This Taoist was holding a sword in his hand, coldly watching every move below, and silently recited in his mouth: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, if you want to catch cicadas, do you know that my yellow finch is behind ......."
