Chapter 192: The Dancing Woman in White
As soon as I heard this, I became even more anxious: "What? You...... You call me a broom star? β
In our countryside, broom stars are swear words!
Uncle frowned: "This is fate!" It's not scolding, and it can't be changed, at the moment you are born, it is already doomed! β
I thought about it for a while, but I didn't know how to refute it, so I had to change the conversation: "That...... Then how did I become the life of pure yin? β
Actually, I don't know what pure yin life is, but as soon as I hear this name, I know that it is not a good word, not to mention that he also said that people with this kind of life will not live to be eighteen years old, but I am already in my twenties, which is not nonsense.
The uncle replied coldly: "This is also destined at the moment of your birthβit's just ...... It's just that you've been reinvented. β
The more I listened, the more confused I became, what did my uncle say? is about to become a "god list".
This time, before I could ask, I heard my uncle point to the front and say, "It's here!" β
Only then did I raise my head and see a small Tan in front of me, and water was slowly flowing out of the black hole opposite.
"This ...... This is the Yellow River Ghost Cave? β
"That's right! I'm going to go in, hurry up and get dressed! β
I tugged at the collar of the "Taoist robe", was smoked and retched for a while, and couldn't help but ask my uncle: "You haven't explained it all along, what kind of clothes is this!" β
"The corpse movers have been wearing overalls for more than five years!" Uncle replied simply.
"What!" My first instinct was to quickly take it off and throw it away.
Uncle snorted coldly: "If you want to die, you can take it off!" β
Uncle's words were never much, but almost every sentence was very weighty, and I was stunned when I heard it, and the outstretched hand slowly retreated.
I can probably understand my uncle's intentions, it is said that the knife used by the butcher all the year round has the effect of "suppressing evil spirits", especially for the ghosts who died under the knife, the effect is as good as the magic weapon of the Taoist priest, I think he asked me to wear this ragged shirt, the purpose is the same!
After hesitating, the tin boat entered the cave, and the surroundings suddenly became even darker.
I could tell that this was a natural cave, and it was very spacious inside, and I could clearly feel that the temperature was several degrees lower, and I suddenly got goosebumps from the cold.
After entering the hole, the speed of the boat dropped significantly, and I couldn't help but get nervous.
After thirty or forty meters of the iron boat, I clearly felt the hull of the boat shake a little, and then it actually stopped in the middle of the water, and the engine was humming, but the boat could not move forward a meter.
"What's going on!"
I shuddered and quickly moved to my uncle's side.
"There's something you don't welcome with!" The uncle sneered and pointed to the water.
What's in the water? I bent down curiously, only glanced at it, and saw that the water was black, and it was still slowly wriggling, and looked around the boat, this black thing had surrounded the boat, and I looked closely, only to find that this black thing was composed of black insects with legs, and the insects looked like centipedes.
"Yes...... It's a bug! "I sat on the boat.
I didn't pay attention to it, but the uncle was holding a black animal's leg in his hand, which looked like a donkey's hoof.
The uncle stood at the bow of the boat, raised the black donkey's hooves in his hand, and muttered a few words in his mouth, and then I heard the sound of "buzzing" from all around the boat, and I couldn't help but look into the water again, and saw thousands of black insects fleeing for their lives.
The boat slowly moved again, and I was terrified and took a few deep breaths.
"Just now...... What kind of bug was it just now? How come I haven't seen it! As soon as the words came out, I realized that my voice had changed tone.
"Corpse cockroaches!
My uncle threw the black donkey's hooves into the boat, and touched his forehead with his other hand, and then I noticed that my uncle's face was covered with sweat.
"Corpse bugs?"
"That's right! A bug that eats dead bodies, you haven't seen it before! β
I instantly thought of the story my uncle told me before I entered the cave, when thousands of corpses floated into this series of caves, could they have been eaten by these insects? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel cold.
After another five or six minutes of driving, my eyes gradually lit up, and then I saw the exit of the ghost cave.
"Attention! It's about to get out of the first cave. β
Out of the hole, a brown lotus leaf appeared in front of me, interspersed with lotus canopies the size of an adult's fist.
I think it's a little strange, it is said that lotus leaves grow in still water, how can they grow in a flowing river! And these lotus leaves are all brown. Holding on to the edge of the boat, I made sure there were no such black bugs around the boat before I leaned out half of my body to see if there were any fish in the water.
As soon as I stretched out my head, I saw that there was a white flower at the bottom of the clear water, and if I looked closely, my scalp was numb, and it was a piece of white bones, which clearly showed that it was a human skeleton, and in some places it was simply white bones stacked with white bones.
"In the water...... In the water! β
I was speechless because of the shock.
"Look at your point!" My uncle took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, put it in his mouth, and handed me another one, "Smoke one!" It's too humid here. β
I took the cigarette, took a puff, and felt refreshed.
"What kind of smoke is this, a mint smell?"
"Who said it was smoke?" My uncle gave me a blank look.
"Not smoke? What's that! β
"Herbs!" After taking a few sharp breaths, the uncle slowly exhaled the earthy yellow smoke, "The white bones in the water are the villagers who were slaughtered back then, and they stayed here forever." β
"How do you know?" Out of curiosity, I asked casually.
"Because I've been here several times, but because I haven't found a pure yin character to help, I can't enter the fifth ghost cave, and I can't catch the 'ghost catfish' living in the sixth ghost cave." After speaking, the uncle flicked the cigarette butt into the water, and the water surface suddenly rippled.
Hearing him mention the 'ghost catfish' again, I finally couldn't help it and asked, "If it's so dangerous, why do you have to catch this fish?" β
Without waiting for the uncle to answer, the boat sailed into the second cave.
I was so frightened that I didn't dare to breathe, and my hands were holding on to the edge of the boat.
This time, the uncle grabbed the black donkey's hooves just now in advance and stretched out his long arms......
As I drove into the fourth cave, I saw a patch of gray rats emerge from the cracks in the mountains on either side, accompanied by a chilling scream.
It is said that it is a mouse, but it is much bigger than the average, and the eyes are all white, and the most shocking thing is that the "Yao Ming" among these mice can actually swim and see the tide rushing towards us.
"What to do!"
With the experience just now, seeing so many rats swarming, my first reaction was to ask my uncle for help, at this time I was stupid and already understood that my uncle knew a lot about the "Yellow River Ghost Cave", and he was ready to come here.
"Panic what!"
My uncle turned and stepped into the warehouse, walked out with two metal barrels, and handed me one of them: "Sprinkle it all around the ship!" β
I let out an "oh" and quickly took it, unscrewed the lid, and suddenly a smell of gasoline came to my nose, and at this time the swarm of rats was less than five meters away from the hull of the boat, and my hands were shaking violently.
Smelling the smell of gasoline, I suddenly realized, and I sped up in my hand, and spilled a bucket of gasoline all around the boat, almost as soon as I finished spilling, and the uncle on one side shouted: "Stand back!" β
Almost as I took a step back, I only heard a "whew", and there was a sea of fire around the tin boat, and the rat in front of me caught fire, "squeaked" and turned its head to swim back.
The uncle's face did not change, his hands were pinched at his waist, and a smile appeared on his face.
This scene also solved a doubt in my heart: no wonder my uncle found a tin boat, which had been planned a long time ago.
Most of the boats in the Yellow River are made of wood, because the wood is light, the cost is low, and it is not easy to rust.
The boat slowly sailed out of the fourth ghost cave, and at this time, the expression on my uncle's face changed, becoming very serious and cold, and I became even more nervous when I saw my uncle like this.
The mountain in front of me was obviously taller than the previous ones, and the entrance to the cave was also larger, and my uncle walked silently to my side.
"What for?"
As soon as I spoke, my uncle grabbed my left hand at lightning speed, and before I could react, he pulled out the dagger with his other hand like lightning and slashed!
With a sharp pain, a stream of blood dripped onto the ship's board.
"You ......"
"Don't move!" Uncle shouted, grabbed my arm and stretched it into the water, blood dripping into the water.
My uncle's hand was like a plice, grabbing my wrist tightly, since eating the black substance that Professor Li brought out of the underground space, I thought that my strength was much greater than that of ordinary people, but at this time, I couldn't break free at all.
It took more than a dozen drops of blood before my uncle let go of my wrist and retracted my hand, and I saw a long blood mark on the palm of my hand, although it was long but not deep.
"This is Yunnan Baiyao. Paint it and you're good to go! β
My uncle's voice softened, and he handed me a small white bottle, with apologies in his eyes.
Quickly took it, sprinkled white powder on the wound, and then wanted to scold.
Just as he wanted to speak, he saw the uncle pointing to the cave and making a silent gesture.
The iron ship had already entered the hole, and everything that came to me suddenly attracted me, and I forgot the pain in my hand for a while.
Everything in this cave is different from the previous ghost caves, the rock walls on both sides obviously have traces of artificial excavation, and what makes me even more jaw-dropping is that there are many grooves in the stone walls, and the black coffins inlaid in them.
"It's a hanging coffin!"
As soon as I was excited, I exclaimed.
The uncle said "Huh", and a puzzled look suddenly appeared on his face: "You kid still know that this is a hanging coffin?"
I nodded, and I didn't bother to tell me about my previous experience in the underground space under the Yellow River.
The area of this grotto is obviously much larger than the previous ones, looking at the style of the hanging coffin, it is very similar to the rock wall of the underground space of the Yellow River, is it also left by the Dongyi tribe?
The boat moved forward for a few tens of meters, and the coffins on both sides changed significantly, and coffins of other colors began to appear, and there were several bronze coffins and white coffins.
The moment I saw the first white coffin, I thought of the one dug up on the outskirts of Higashido Village.
Looking at the style, it is similar to the style of the coffin.
I remember that Liu Liwei said that they passed the photo of the white coffin to Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu concluded that the mysterious symbol on the coffin was an ancient Miao script, and the coffin should come from a large ancient tomb.
I had a thought: could the white coffin come from here?
was stunned, and the voice of the uncle came from his ear: "Don't look at your eyes, be careful of being captured......"
"What?"
Coming back to my senses, I turned my head to look at him, and halfway through I caught a glimpse of the rock wall on the left.
First, I saw a pink mist lingering in front of the rock wall, and I subconsciously looked closely, and vaguely saw a vague white figure in the red mist.
Red mist? White Shadow?
Deep down, I realized that something was not quite right, but at this time, the red mist seemed to have a strong attraction, and I wanted to look away, but I couldn't take it off.
The red mist faded and the white shadow became clearer.
This is a woman, looking very young, standing on a stone platform with a protruding stone wall, gently shaking her body as if she is dancing.
Right! It's dancing. The dancing is light and beautiful.
The red mist completely faded, and the woman's appearance became clear.
OMG! At this moment, a big mouthful of words to describe beautiful women popped up in my mind, such as "Closed Moon and Shameful Flowers", "Sinking Fish and Falling Geese", and "National Colors and Heavenly Fragrance", I actually felt a little inferior.
This woman looked in her twenties, with white skin and big eyes, enough to satisfy all the imagination of a man in his head about beautiful women.
I looked at her, and she looked at me, and when my eyes met, I felt like I was being electrocuted.
She smiled at me and hooked her slender hand at me.
I was even more fascinated, I felt that the blood was surging, a powerful force filled my brain, at this moment, as if everything else in the world had nothing to do with me, the only thing I should do was to walk over and hug her......
As soon as I took a step, I felt a powerful force grab my shoulder, and with a burst of pain, everything changed in front of me.
Black-brown rock walls, protruding stone platforms, coffins of different sizes......
What about beauties?
The place where the beautiful woman stood was an empty platform. That's when I noticed that the big hand on my shoulder was clutching me.
When I turned around, I saw my uncle staring at me coldly.
"Close your eyes and cover your ears!"
This time I didn't hesitate, quickly squatted on the boat, and did as my uncle asked.
Although he had covered his ears vigorously, there was still an intermittent sound.
"Come here! Come here! β
"Open your eyes and look at me!"
I secretly reminded myself that it was all an illusion and that I should not believe it.
Then the voice changed.
"Dongdong, come and save me!"
The voice...... I shuddered, it was my mother's voice, she wasn't already ......
Wrong! It's also an illusion.
The voice is constantly changing, Li Guozhi, Wu Jinghan......
I kept saying: It's an illusion, everything is an illusion!
I don't know how many minutes later, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder again, and my uncle's deep and clear voice came from my ear: "It's okay!"
When I opened my eyes, I found that I was still in the grotto, but the coffins on both sides were missing.
"What just happened?"
I touched the sweat on my head and asked my uncle.
The uncle's face was pale and panting, and after he sat down slowly, he replied: "It's all an illusion caused by spirit, fortunately you are a pure yin body, otherwise you can't get out of the illusion at all."
