"Old-timer, what kind of place is this? Why is there still a rancid smell wafting through it? ”

In the damp and dark cave, I could smell a strong rancid smell everywhere, and I could only isolate it for a while when I covered my nose, and immediately opened my mouth to breathe a few big breaths, and suddenly opened my mouth and retched, and I had to cover my nose with my sleeve, although I could still smell some stench, but it was still better.

"This is the lair of the ghosts, they plunder each other all day long, so these smells are normal, be careful and follow me, I will take you to another place."

The old man said in surprise, and cautiously instructed me.

"Huh? This is the lair of the ghost? We, didn't we send it to the door?! ”

I took two steps back in shock, and suddenly, my feet slipped, and my body fell violently, and a withered arm, lightning-like grabbing my shoulder, easily lifted me up, I turned my head and asked, "Senior, is that you?" ”

"Nonsense! Is there anyone else here? If you don't listen to me, if you are contaminated with these rancid smells, it will be easy for the ghosts to find us, and you will almost get into a big disaster, follow closely! ”

The old man's voice came coldly, and although he scolded me, I was still pleased, nodded honestly, and followed the old man over.

"Old-timers, why do we want to go through this cave? Isn't there any other way to go? In case ...... here"

I followed the old man closely, but asked with great concern.

"Huh! The most dangerous place is often the safest place, those ghosts don't find their prey outside, they won't come back, we just happened to take this opportunity to hide from it, and these ghosts are very particular about the domination of the nest, a nest can only accommodate one ghost, and will never allow other ghosts to come in, so we are safe for the time being, just ......"

The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that when we just escaped in, there will be more or less ghosts outside to find our traces, so we have to leave this ghost place as soon as possible and find a place where they won't set foot in it!" ”

"By the way, old-timer, what is this place? How did I get here? ”

I suddenly remembered the sharp and towering peaks and huge scarlet waterfalls I had seen before, it seemed that in the real world, there were no such things, but if these were illusions, it would not be reasonable, I could clearly feel that these things really existed.

"Stream!"

After the old man said these three words, he did not speak again, but squeezed into a narrow passage, and I also chased after him, and after a while, we came to an exit, and the light slowly filled the position of the exit, and I looked at it, and suddenly felt sick to my stomach.

Outside this exit, there is a small pool, the water stains in the pool are completely black, and there are some rotten and foul-smelling things inside, or floating on the surface of the water, or half-sinking and half-floating, such a dirty pool, I have seen it for the first time in my life, compared to the bad water swamp encountered in other places, this pool is simply a dirty grandfather.

"What else to see? Hurry up and take off your clothes and swim through, it's getting dark, we have to get back to safety before it gets dark! ”

The old man motioned for me to take off my clothes, and I couldn't help but open my eyes wide, perhaps seeing that I was still hesitating, the old man gave me an angry look, jumped into the pool, and ignored the rancid things, stretched out his hand to play with the water, and slowly swam over.

"Uh......"

I was almost stunned, this old-timer was really desperate, such a stinky pool, he actually swam so freely, I trembled, thinking about the feeling of those water stains on the skin, I would rather swim over without taking off my clothes...... "You don't take off your clothes, I also swim in clothes, alas, it's too smelly......"

I took a deep breath and almost breathed in the air again, but considering that there was a lair of sprites behind me, I couldn't care much about it, so let's get out with the old-timers first.

Carefully stretching out a leg to go in, I felt like I was in a manure pit, but when I think about it, it seems that the manure pit is much cleaner than here.

"Plop" jumped into the pool, I closed my mouth tightly, hurriedly waved my hands and began to pick up the water, little by little to the opposite shore, it seems that this pool is so wide and boundless, and the passage of time, is so long, swimming to the central position, I looked up, and found that the old-timers had arrived on the other side, and were looking at me with full attention at the moment.

"Little one, your swimming skills are not bad, hehe!"

The old-timer smiled and patted the rancid water stains on his body and said to me approvingly.

I just closed my mouth tightly, I didn't dare to take a breath, and I didn't dare to open my mouth to say a word, for fear that a mouth would be connected with this pool, thinking about it was worse than death, looking at the old-timer sex and a little more uh expression, I really wanted to go up and drag him down to swim for a while.

"Hoo ......"

When I finally reached the shore, I exhaled deeply, touched my hot cheeks, rolled my eyes, and almost suffocated me in the water, and my whole head was hot.

"Why don't you take off your clothes?"

The old-timers looked at me in astonishment.

"Uh, old-timer, didn't you take off your clothes too? Why do I have to take off my clothes, do you know that the pool is dirty? ”

I glanced at the old-timer angrily, and found that this strange old man was quite persistent.

"Whatever you want."

I tilted my head and pondered, and immediately followed him up the mountain, and walked a mountain road, and we soon walked into a narrow and dark passage, but this time in the passage, there was no rancid smell, but the air was extremely fresh, and I gasped a few times comfortably, and found that the air here was simply the best smelling air in the world.

After passing through the narrow passage, the front suddenly opened up, and in a small dimly lit cave, the old-timer finally stopped and said, "We have arrived, this is where I live, you take off your shoes." ”

"Uh......"

I was stunned, and suddenly understood, it turned out that the old-timer was afraid that the dirty and smelly water stains on my body would pollute the place where he lived, and he also took off his shoes, and took out a rag to wipe off the water stains on his feet, and then walked in slowly.

There was dry firewood on the ground, the old-timers broke some of it, and soon made a fire, and took off the soaked clothes on the body, put them on the fire and roasted them, and then changed into clean and tidy clothes to put on, and looked at me who was still wet, and the old-timers said happily: "Little guy, just let you take off your clothes and swim, but you didn't listen, and now you can only bake clothes with your bare buttocks." ”

"This ...... This ......"

I stood in place embarrassed, it turned out to be because of such a thing, alas, I blamed me for not expecting it before, touched my body, the treasure bag and the evil sword were left in the west wing of the Baijiazhuang courtyard, this time it was really hard to get home, stunned, I smiled and said: "Senior, do you have any clothes that you don't wear to borrow a junior?" ”

"Huh! Little guy, I'm not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, how can I bring any other clothes, you see what I'm wearing, in fact, it's a set of clothes roasted on the fire, an outerwear, and an underwear, so you don't want to get wet The clothes you don't listen, what else can you do now? ”

The old-timer said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, you little brat, my old man hasn't seen it, you just run three laps with your bare buttocks, my old man is not interested in looking at you more, quickly take off your clothes and bake the fire, the yin here is extremely heavy, if you are infected with the epidemic, you kid will be finished." ”

Hearing the advice of the old-timers, I couldn't help but stir up, took off my clothes, and found a branch to pick and bake on the fire, so that the old-timers nodded with satisfaction.

The "crackling" branches were burning in the flames, the cave was very silent, and the old-timers didn't seem to have time to take care of me, carefully checking the clothes, and carefully baking them, I also concentrated on baking the clothes, until the old-timer's clothes were baked successfully, and when he smiled and put away the dry clothes, I also grinned.

"Senior, how long have you lived here? What do you do on weekdays? ”

I looked left and right, and found that there was nothing to eat in this cave, so how did the old-timers survive?

"Huh! Little guy, you are really a fool, this is not a worldly mortal, let alone a Nine Hellland, why do you need to eat? ”

The old-timer said with a smile, and then leaned lazily on a comfortable "bed".

"Uh...... So what is this place? ”

My mind is racing, it can't be the heavenly realm, right? But there are so many ghosts outside, maybe only ghosts believe that this is the heavenly realm, of course, this is impossible.

"I've told you, this is the Dragon's Stream, why do you still ask?"

The old-timers glared at me in displeasure.

"But what kind of place is the Stream?"

I still don't understand, since this place doesn't belong to the worldly world, and it doesn't belong to the netherworld, what place does it belong to?

"Well, the Mighty Stream is a place that is different from the Netherworld, it is full of resentment and anger, it is a place of eternal imprisonment and attachment, once you come here, don't think about going out, little guy, you must have met those thousands of years of spiritual cultivation, right? Otherwise, you can't come to this place if you want to, you can also say that this place is real, or you can say that this place doesn't exist at all, but as long as you haven't cultivated the Immortal Dao, you will be imprisoned here. ”

The old-timer said with a wry smile.

"Do the old-timers mean the descendants of those white-footed big birds? Yes, the younger generations were deceived by them, they first made up a legendary story of a cash cow, and what kind of descendants of the white old man, alas, they all blame the younger generations for being too inexperienced, and they were easily deceived! ”

I shook my head and sighed.

"The story of a cash cow? Little one, do you want to know who I am? ”

The smile of the old-timer was slightly retracted, and he said.

"The old-timers are ......"

I asked urgently.

"The protagonist of the cash cow is not called Bai Laoqi, but Zhong Laoqi, and Zhong Laoqi has no descendants, let alone a huge family business and a village, because, because I am Zhong Laoqi!"

Speaking of this, the old-timer's eyes turned red, and his voice couldn't help choking.

"Huh?"

I looked at the old-timer in front of me in shock, it turned out that the legend of the cash cow refers to this old-timer, Zhong Laoqi?!
