With a "plop", I shot directly into the water like a bullet, and choked on a few mouthfuls of cold water. I was almost stunned by the impact of the water surface and woke me up directly, and under the impetus of survival, my limbs kept thrashing downward.

When my head poked out of the water, it was pitch black, and the tigers didn't know where to go, and their ears buzzed as if they were in the water.

"Huzi! Pei! Li Zhen! I shouted as I swam forward in the dark.

Suddenly, a dazzling light in front of me shone like me, and I couldn't open my eyes at all, so I covered my eyes with my hands and shouted in front of me, "Is it a tiger?" ”

"Yang Xiuyuan! It's us, hurry up and swim to shore. Li Zhen's voice came from afar.

Hearing his voice, my heart relaxed, at least knowing that they were still safe.

After going ashore, I was surprised to find that there was such a paradise in this mysterious underground waterfall. In addition to a pool of waterfall that 'fell from the sky' around, there is also a small land of 100 square meters.

"It's amazing, the natural cave is so beautiful." Li Zhen turned on the flashlight and looked around.

In this huge karst cave, there are many strange rocks, and stalagmites are full of forms. It's unbelievable, nature's magic.

Looking at the refreshing scene around him, he actually forgot about the tiger, and he disappeared after jumping from the waterfall.

I slapped it on the head and said, "Huzi!" Have you seen the tiger? ”

"Holy shit! I just cared about talking and forgot about the tiger. Pei then reacted that the tiger was gone.

"You two went ashore first, didn't you see the tiger?" I asked Li Zhen.

"No, after we went ashore, we heard movement in the water, and then we called the flashlight to see that it was you, and forgot about the tiger." Li Zhen looked a little flustered.

"Something must be wrong, right?" From the moment I set off, I had a sign of uneasiness, and I always felt that this trip was a bit suspenseful. Now that the tiger is nowhere to be found, I can't help but think about the worst.

"Huzi!" "Huzi! Where are you! ”

"Huzi!" The three of us shouted into the dark water. But apart from the sound of the water flowing down from above and our echo, there was no echo of the tiger.

When I thought that something might have happened to him, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. Coupled with Li Zhen's choked voice, my tears began to roll in my eyes. I really regret coming here, I really regret taking him on this path.

Just as I was in the midst of grief and despair, a hand suddenly slapped me on the shoulder from behind. The heart jumped directly from the chest to the mouth, and without saying a word, he turned around and sent a heavy punch.

"Ahh Cough...... Cough...... You're going to do it. Huzi clutched his stomach and stepped back repeatedly.

"Huzi! You're not dead. "I'm not dead!" Seeing that Huzi was safe and sound, I ran up directly and hugged Huzi, who was in the shape of a gasoline barrel.

"Oh no! Other! Other! This man is not kissed. Huzi said nonsense.

"Your uncle is scared to death, I really think you have an accident, you still have the heart to joke with me." Looking at Huzi unharmed, I was so angry that I threw a few more punches directly on his back.

Even Li Zhen was so angry that he laughed and cried, "Huzi, how can you make such a joke." ”

"Don't play, don't play, guess what I found up front." Huzi lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"Don't tell it's zongzi?" I asked with a serious look on my face.

Huzi shook his head, "I'll take you to see it." ”

Under the leadership of Huzi, we came to the place that Huzi said, and the scene in front of me made me speechless. Two rows of stone carvings of ghosts holding weapons are neatly placed on both sides of a bluestone path.

Fierce and vicious little ghosts, some with big knives, some with double prongs. There are also those who hold octagonal sledgehammers, but almost all of these little ghosts have used eighteen weapons.

We walked along the path, and Li Zhen held my arm tightly all the way. It seemed that he was frightened by the hideous faces of these stone statues, and the bluestone path of more than ten meters long soon came to an end.

At the end of the path, a stone table is placed in the center, and the dusty stone table is filled with incense burners, candles, and some animal skulls and other sacrificial items. It looks like this place is a tribute to this god, but there is no statue or anything like that in front of the stone case, just a stone wall.

I walked around the stone case and realized that there was something carved on the stone wall, and I was surprised that the carving was not the god I had imagined. It's something like a door, almost a stone door carved into the stone wall that can't be opened, to be exact.

"There's a door carved here, what is it for? I've never heard of a memorial gate. "I looked at Pei, hoping he could see something wrong.

Pei shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of weird sacrifice, it's too incredible." ”

"I still don't understand such a simple question, let me analyze it with you." Huzi deliberately cleared his throat and said seriously.

"It's very likely that these people, like me, stumbled into this big hole by mistake, and then couldn't get out, so they carved a door into the wall. Then he slaughtered pigs and sheep in the hope that the gods would help him open the door. ”

Huzi was talking to us for a while, and he felt that something was wrong when he spoke. "It doesn't seem right, how can there be livestock in this big hole? Whatever, it's a sacrifice to the door god. ”

"You pig-brained, and you know that there can't be livestock here, don't use your preschool IQ to consider the Pythagorean law of middle school students." I smiled at Huzi.

It seems to me that this is probably a secret place built by the ancients, as can be seen from the boat at the door. It is quite possible that someone discovered this mysterious place and wanted to enter, but did not come in because something went wrong.

There are no gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques here, but why do people still want to come in, I haven't been able to understand for a long time.

"Yang Xiuyuan, come and have words here." Li Zhen, who was observing everywhere, found a line of words engraved in seal script in front of the stone bank: 'Remove troubles, forget sorrows, the door of reincarnation, and the door of sorrows.' ’

The term reincarnation usually refers to the fact that after death, the soul of a person is brought into the underworld by ghosts. Cross the Nai He Bridge and drink Meng Po soup, enter the reincarnation division and then reincarnate.

Thinking of this, I thought of the door on the stone wall, and wondered if it would be the gate of reincarnation that could be reincarnated here?

"Yang Xiuyuan, what is this?" Huzi asked, touching a recess in the ground.

Looking at the grooves in the ground, I always felt like I could imagine something, but I couldn't put it into words. Li Zhen, who had clever eyes, saw it at a glance, "Rune." ”

"Look at the gold letters written under this groove." Li Zhen pointed to the small characters under the groove.

Looking to the side, there are four grooves, corresponding to which wood, water, fire, and earth are engraved under the grooves.

Seeing this, I was so angry that I slapped myself on the head again. "The Five Elements Rune, I didn't bring it, it's all in the master's house, it seems that this trip was in vain."

"I brought it!" As he spoke, Pei took out five runes from his bag, bent down and inserted them into the grooves in turn.
