I don't quite believe in the legend of Ma Hongxiang's daughter-in-law about zombies, that is, vampires.

I've been a human judge for a long time, so have I ever seen anything about zombies? There are all kinds of folk legends, among which there are many exaggerated and perfunctory nature, how many are true? To be honest, I myself come from the countryside, and I have seen how those rural people can fan one thing from nothing to something and from existence to infinity.

Although I have seen all kinds of things about the soul now, I don't think it is completely incomprehensible. In any case, the soul is actually similar to a human, but the state of existence is not the same. But zombies...... That's a completely different concept, completely incomprehensible.

But I don't want to argue with Ma Hongxiang's daughter-in-law about this kind of thing.

My identity is now known to Ma Hongxiang, Li Xiaogang and Tang Guoqing. None of them told their daughters-in-law though, so I'd better not talk too much.

Ma Hongxiang's daughter-in-law continued: "My colleague also said that those zombies that were found actually escaped from the Nine Old Caves. Do you know the Nine Old Caves? ”

Ma Hongxiang, Li Xiaogang, Tang Guoqing and Tang Guoqing's daughter-in-law all shook their heads blankly.

Ma Hongxiang's daughter-in-law spread her hands and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know." ”

"I know that." I smiled and said.

Ma Hongxiang and the others all knew that I usually like to read some miscellaneous books, so they all believed what I said, and immediately looked at me together and said in unison: "What is that?" ”

Li Xiaogang also added: "Is there really this place? ”

I smiled and said, "Of course there is this place." Jiulao Cave is located under the Jiulao Peak behind the Xianfeng Temple of the Left Mountain Road of Mount Emei, and the vine is planted upside down, and it is close to the cliff. The entrance of the cave is in the shape of a 'person', looking out from the cave, the outline of the cave is just like an old Taoist statue. ”

Ma Hongxiang's daughter-in-law interjected and said: "I know that Mount Emei is a famous fairy mountain, and there are many famous legends. ”

Ma Hongxiang said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you interject, okay?" Let the knife speak slowly. ”

I smiled and said, "She's right, people say that the full name of this Nine Old Cave is the Nine Old Immortal Cave, which is the cave where the immortals gather." Legend has it that when the emperor visited Emperor Mitsuriko Zhenren, when he arrived at this cave, he met an old man at the entrance of the cave. This old man looks like a fairy, like a fairy. The Emperor asked the old man, 'Do you have any other companions?' The old man said, 'Yes, there are nine of us.' So, this cave was called the Nine Old Caves. ”

The emperor asked the nine old men at that time, but they couldn't remember clearly, but they said that when Nuwa was refining stones to make up for the sky, they helped Nuwa Niangniang pick up stones. Isn't that tens of thousands of years old? ”

Li Xiaogang and their children were all on the TV, because Li Xiaogang's daughter-in-law was watching there, so they didn't dare to come over, but they all pricked up their ears to listen to my story.

I continued: "There is also a theory that this Jiulao Cave is the cave where Zhao Gongming, the Taoist god of wealth, cultivates, and there is a stone bed in it, which is said to have been used by Zhao Gongming as a relic back then. As you know, the most famous thing on Emei is the God of Wealth culture. ”

Tang Guoqing's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Really? Then if you have time, let's go to Mount Emei to have fun and worship the God of Wealth. ”

I continued, "I heard that this Nine Old Cave is not open to the public, and I don't know if it's true. Because this Nine Old Cave is very mysterious, there are many legends about it, all kinds of colors. However, there is one thing in common, that is, the inside of this cave is like a labyrinth, and it is difficult to get out if you go in. Of course, many people have visited this mysterious and interesting place, but the result is basically that there is no return, and there is no trace. ”

"During the Republic of China, I heard that there were three little monks, who were playful and not afraid of death, and they were bored, so they discussed going to take a look inside the Nine Old Caves. Although these three little monks are bold, they are also relatively careful. When they went in, they lit a candle and took a lot of incense. Every twenty steps, they took turns to place a lit incense stick on the ground, so that the incense became a signpost, and they could naturally follow the signposts back. ”

"They're so smart." Li Xiaogang's little Lori clapped her hands over there and shouted.

"Yes, they're so smart, but they're not good." I smiled and waved at her.

Li Xiaogang said impatiently: "Don't pay attention to her, what happened?" Did the three little monks come out? ”

I smiled and continued: "In this way, the three little monks walked in the cave for a long, long time, and then came to a dry river without water. ”

Everyone was looking at me with a smile on me, and no one interrupted me anymore.

So I went on in one breath: "The surface of the wadi is not wide, about two zhang - that is, six or seven meters. The river is full of white sand and colorful pebbles, and it looks very beautiful. And from time to time, you can also see diamonds, shiny. On the opposite side of the river, the skeletons of phosphorescent beasts and human beings can occasionally be seen. ”

"The three little monks were giggling, very naughty, and they didn't know how to be afraid. They then passed through a milky stone forest and came to a river. ”

"This river is slightly narrower than the previous one, the water is about a foot or so, and it is loud, and the water inside is very cold, colder than ice."

At this time, the candle flame in the hands of the three little monks floated straight out, as if someone was blowing. At this time, the three little monks felt frightened and couldn't help but shiver. ”

"A little monk said, 'It's scary, we're still ...... Or go back, go back, right? A little monk bowed his head and didn't speak, and another little monk raised his neck and said, 'Be bold and catch the dragon and tiger, and be timid and afraid of the cat grabbing the ass!' After saying that, the leader continued to walk forward. ”

So the three little monks continued to walk forward.

"After walking for a long time, I walked through a narrow cave and an open belt of stone forests, and came to a river. The river is very narrow, about a foot or so. But the water inside was deep, so deep that it turned green, and gave off a strong fishy smell. On the water, there is also a natural stone bridge. ”

The three little monks looked at each other for a moment, and then walked to the bridge, and the candle flame flickered very violently. The leading little monk had just walked to the middle of the bridge. ”

"At this time, the water under the bridge suddenly 'gurgling' and bubbling with blisters the size of the mouth of the bowl."

"In order to support his courage, the leading little monk said: 'Hey, do you want to hack Lao Tzu!' As he spoke, the little monk bent down and shone down with a candle. ”

"Suddenly, there was a 'porphyry' sound, and the candle went out!"

The three little monks were so frightened that they were about to pee out, and they couldn't say anything they wanted to say.

"At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of 'shrunching' in the water again, the sound seemed to come from the distant sky, and it came from the deep underground thunder, heavy and terrifying, the louder and more fierce."

"The three little monks were really frightened at this time, and they rushed down the stone bridge in a panic, and fled when they turned around."

"On the way back, the three little monks walked for a long time along the mark of incense, and only walked out of the Nine Old Caves after walking exhausted."

"It's also strange to say, when they walked out of the Nine Old Caves, they just ran out of candles they prepared."

"The three little monks returned to the temple to find out that they had been exploring in the Nine Old Caves for three days and three nights; What is even more strange is that on the third day after they left the temple, their abbot had a dream at night, in which a pig dragon said to him menacingly: 'Take care of your disciples, save the reputation of the famous mountain, and disturb my cultivation!' When the old abbot woke up, he was horrified, and when he saw the three little monks returning from their expedition, he knew what had happened. So, he beat the three little monks hard, and then punished the three of them to recite the pure sutra for three years to show the temple rules. ”

That's the story. There are many other legends about the Nine Old Caves, so I'll tell you about them when I have a chance in the future. ”

It was at this time that my phone rang wildly.
