Chapter 138: The Legend of the Cave (2)
"Boy, I warn you to be honest, otherwise Lao Tzu will shoot your dog's head!" The muzzle of the black man's gun went directly to Niu Meng's head.
"Get out of the way, the big boss is here!"
At this time, a fierce and vicious man walked in the crowd, he stared at Niu Meng for a long time, and then asked slowly: "You tell Lao Tzu, what about the people in the village, do you recognize the road into the mountain?" ”
Don't look at Niu Meng's tall and strong appearance, but in fact, he is very timid inside, and he was caught by a group of bandits, and his feet were already trembling with fright.
He breathed a few breaths of relief, raised his eyes and looked at the group of plague gods in front of him, there were almost twenty or thirty people, all of them were fierce and vicious, either carrying spears or big knives, looking murderous.
Niu suddenly paused, nodded tremblingly, and said, "I, I know the way into the mountain, but, it's just that no one has gone for a long time, and the road is long gone." ”
Although Niu Meng is timid, he also knows at this time that the mountains are full of villagers and elders who drag their families with their mouths, if they bring this group of bandits up, then they will have to do it?
"Smack!"
A loud slap hit Niu Meng's swarthy face, and suddenly a hot pain came from his face.
"What the hell is gone, the damn thing, everyone has run out, and there is no oil and water left for Lao Tzu, since you are from a nearby village, how can you not know the road? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu shot you down! ”
"Brother Chen, don't worry, since this kid is from a nearby village, he must know about the treasure if he believes in it!" It was a hunchback wearing round sunglasses who spoke.
"Well, yes, I almost forgot if you didn't say it, boy, now Lao Tzu gives you a chance, it's up to you to see if you know how to lift!" The bandit leader glared at Niu Meng fiercely.
When Niu Meng heard this, he immediately muttered in his heart, it turned out that they were here for the legendary treasure!
He had heard a little bit about the treasure, but he didn't know whether it was specific or not.
But the bandits were determined to find the treasure, and if they did not show them the way, I am afraid that they would not survive.
So Niu Meng's mind turned, and he immediately talked nonsense to the bandit leader, saying that he had heard the old man in the village mention it, as if he was in the Centipede Ridge area.
The bandit leader was obviously very cunning, how could he easily believe Niu Meng's words, and immediately gave him a few slaps, so that Niu Meng was almost confused.
As a last resort, Niu Meng had no choice but to tell the bandit leader a sentence he heard from his master, Lao Miao, "The stone dragon is against the stone tiger, the monkey touches the buttocks, and the pagoda mountain is opened, and the gold and silver are planted all over the ground." ”
When the bandit leader heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Niu Meng and asked fiercely, "Where did you hear this?" ”
Niu Meng replied that it was the old man in the village who said that the legend was related to the treasure.
The bandit leader laughed after hearing this, and immediately ordered Niu Meng to lead the way, and the group went straight to Centipede Ridge.
Centipede Ridge is a beam on the Pagoda Mountain, located halfway up the mountainside, legend has it that there are many centipedes in that place all year round, so over time it has been called Centipede Ridge.
After walking for about an hour, everyone came to a dense forest, and Niu Meng said to the bandit leader that in front of the forest was Centipede Ridge.
The bandit leader was naturally unsuspicious, relying on the strength of the crowd and the guns in his hands, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, so he immediately ordered people to drive cattle into the forest.
After walking for most of the day, everyone came to a rocky field, and in the distance a large earthen bag lay horizontally in front of it, surrounded by stones.
From afar, it looked like the skulls of a dead man, black and white scattered everywhere.
Niu Meng said that this is Centipede Ridge.
The bandit leader was about to ask questions, when he heard a sudden "rustling" sound coming from behind the dirt bag, and then in an instant, he saw a red shadow flying back and forth twice quickly, and then flashed a little red light, and quickly jumped into a big white stone on the ground!
And the big white stone, at this time, suddenly made a strange move, and actually stood up directly, that action looked like a living person, and on the top of the big white stone, a strange human face was actually revealed, as if watching everyone laugh.
The bandits were frightened, and immediately fired a few shots at the big white stone, but the bullets hit it but it didn't have any effect at all, so everyone said that the red light just now was a centipede, so the bandit leader quickly retreated.
But at this time, it was obviously too late, and with a light "squeak" sound, the big white stone suddenly drummed out of its mouth, and suddenly spewed out countless finger-thick centipedes!
Those centipedes crawled to the ground in dense clusters, pounced when they saw people, and several bandits were bitten to death on the spot.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Niu Meng took the opportunity to jump over a piece of grass and run desperately up the mountain.
But I don't know what's going on, and as he runs, he suddenly stepped into the air, and immediately fell down.
The sudden change made Niu Meng's heart frightened, and he had no choice but to desperately wave his hand and grab it, probably because he should not die, and finally caught a tree root in his hand at the critical moment.
The root of the tree was like a life-saving straw at this time, and the ox grabbed it tightly and climbed to the edge of a hole before finally gaining a firm foothold.
At this time, he had palpitations, and it took a long time to regain a trace of his senses, but as soon as he lowered his head, he was so frightened that he almost fell directly without standing firmly.
I saw that a few meters deep from my feet, there were rows of human bones densely arranged, and those human bones were closely connected, as if a bone bridge had been erected strangely.
On the opposite side of the bridge, there was a faint fire that flickered and flickered, and under the light of the fire, Niu Meng clearly saw that there was a house made of human bones!
In the middle of the house, there stood an old man whose face was invisible, who was looking at him at this time, grinning at him from time to time.
The cow was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and at this time he dared to take another look, and desperately grabbed the root of the tree and climbed straight up.
Finally climbed to the ground, he didn't dare to stop and raise his feet to run violently, in a panic, he didn't know where he ran to, stared, only to see that there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, miserable!
Niu Meng was almost stupid, and immediately ran desperately towards the forest on the side, and then the old Miao people went down the mountain to find him, and then carried him back.
Afterwards, Niu Meng told the master Lao Miao what he saw, and the old Miao said that Niu Meng not only ran into the evil centipede in the mountain, but also fell into the ghost cave!
Unfortunately, soon after, Lao Miao died of a serious illness, and the specific cause is no longer known.
And the rumors of nursery rhymes and black holes have since come out of Niu Meng's mouth.
After listening to this rumor told by Daddy Niu, I was stunned for a long time.
The old Miao people said that the black hole was a ghost hole, and Niu Meng also fell into it, and saw a human bone bridge and a human bone house, and there was also an old man who couldn't see his face clearly.
There are a few questions here, are the human bone bridge and the human bone house in the ghost cave in the underworld or the yang world?
And who is that old man?
I even thought in my heart that the old man might be the old king's head, and that human bone house might have a fairy bone golden seal hidden in it!
Thinking about it this way, it seems quite reasonable - the matter of the old king letting me into the ghost cave will be solved, and he must have let me enter the human bone house to get the fairy bone golden seal!
I called Lu Le and Duan Ruoxue out to discuss it, wanting to hear what they thought.
After Duan Ruoxue heard me say these things, she directly denied the view that the old man in the ghost cave was the old king's head.
She said that if that person was the old king, he would be at least two hundred years old now, and it was obviously impossible to explain.
Lu Le thought for a while and said, "Could it be related to the undead?" ”
"If a person doesn't die, it's not a big deal to exist for two or three hundred years!"
I think Lu Le's idea is a bit bold, but I have to say that this is indeed a problem.
Duan Ruoxue stopped talking at this time, in this matter, the immortal seems to be like a bug, whether he is the old king or not, we can't say at all at this time.
Before, I was worried that something would happen to the living when they entered the ghost cave, but now that I heard the rumors of Niu Meng, this concern no longer exists.
I think the only way to figure out what's going on is to go deep into the ghost cave and find out!
Lu Le and Duan Ruoxue also meant the same thing, and the three of us roughly discussed it, and soon it gradually got dark.
Looking at the pitch-black Pagoda Mountain, I took a deep breath, and then walked slowly towards the mountainside with Lu Le and Duan Ruoxue.
