I don't know what the young man's mouth said about the Tongtian River, the fairy cave and the ghost cave are exactly what the place, so I continued to ask, according to the young man's description, I have a preliminary understanding, this Tongtian River is actually an ordinary wide river, the water flow is turbulent, because the whole river is like a cross-section, diagonally down the mountain, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the river seems to flow down from the sky, so it is named Tongtian River, most of the fish people in the village are reluctant to approach the river, It's not because there are few fish, but because the river is too fast, if the fisherman who is inexperienced in supporting the boat, nine times out of ten will capsize there, once the boat capsizes, want to swim out of the Tongtian River, it is basically impossible, there was a similar situation in their village before, and finally the fisherman's body was found more than ten kilometers downstream along the Tongtian River.

And the fairy cave, was described by the boy more artifact, said that the cave is full of jewels, after entering the cave, the whole cave shines, around the flashing like a jewel of light, if the weather is better, the sunshine is sufficient, the flickering light in the cave can pierce people's eyes can not open, as if the gods live in the same place, but the reason why this cave is called the fairy cave, is not all because of the flickering light in the cave, according to the description of the young man, this fairy cave lives in the dragon king, Some people say that there are nine dragons living in it, in charge of the rain in all directions, whenever the rainy season comes, every household will hang some meat on the window, saying that it is a sacrifice to the dragon king, over time, this custom has continued in the village, until now, every time it rains, every household will hang out the food, let the rain wash away, and then eat, saying that it is to eat the things that the dragon lord has washed, and will have good luck.

I don't want to know too much about this folk custom, and I don't believe that there is a dragon king living in the fairy cave, but I don't show it in front of this young man, after all, they live an isolated life here, and their education level is limited, so they will naturally believe in some feudal superstitions, and they will all blame the gods for some natural phenomena that cannot be explained.

Finally, when the boy talked about the ghost cave, I found that the expression on his face began to become nervous, and the tone of his speech was much smaller, he told us that this ghost cave is the most mysterious, the cliff is as high as 100 meters, and it needs to pass through the entire fairy cave to reach, and this ghost cave is very large, there are many holes that extend downward, this boy once measured with a torch, these holes are very deep downward, as if they are bottomless pits, and they are very densely distributed, some holes are very secret, one accidentally stepped down, That's a life, and only by following an experienced person will you not be wrong.

After listening to what he said, I became more and more interested in these three places, probably because of my natural spirit of adventure, and I even wanted to try it out and see what happened.

However, the young man told us that if you want to reach the place where you can see the ancient city, you must climb to the top of the ghost cave, and then climb out of the hole at the top, the process is very dangerous, and the reason why this ghost cave is called this name is because this cave is close to the top, there are many coffins, there are dozens of corpses, all stacked on a natural platform at the top of the cave, and if you want to reach the top of the ghost cave, you must pass through here, otherwise you can't find any place to stay, The inside of the ghost cave is relatively damp, especially the bottom of the cave, which is almost covered with moss, in case one accidentally slips and falls into the underground hole, it is also the result of a broken bone, so let's be sure to follow him.

And according to him, this ghost cave is from the bottom up, it is a little bit of dry stool, the higher the cave climbs, the easier it is to climb, the less bryophytes, not easy to slip, as long as you can climb halfway, and then it will be much easier to go up, when the time comes, he will climb up first, and then fix the rope, let us hold the rope and climb up.

Probably worried that we would not be able to climb up, the young man described the whole area, stood up and said to us, "If you can't climb up then, then don't blame me, I won't give you back the cow." ”

The Seventh Master and I smiled at the same time, and quickly nodded, saying that as long as he could take us to the ghost cave, the cow would be his.

The young man was overjoyed to see our attitude, and said, "Do you really want to see the ancient city?" ”

I nodded hurriedly.

The young man smiled and said, "Then you have to bring dry food, this ancient city is not something you can see every day, after you reach the top of the ghost cave, there is a relatively flat mountain top, you can rest there, wait for the weather to be good, you can see." ”

After listening to the young man's narration, I hurriedly asked, "Little brother, do you mean that we have to live on the top of the mountain for ten days and half a month?" ”

The young man said, "Big brother, don't be polite, just call me Liu Yuan, the climate on the top of this mountain is very climatous, sometimes there is dense fog, sometimes the wind is beautiful, and there are no clouds, this ......"

I didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so I hurriedly asked, "What?" You mean, you can't see the ancient city until the wind is sunny and the sky is cloudless? Judging by my experience, the top of this mountain is foggy nine times out of ten, and there are very few cloudless weather. ”

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Big brother, you are wrong, this ancient city is very evil, when the fog is thick, you can't see it, the wind is beautiful, and you can't see it when there are no clouds, you have to wait until the fog seems to be dispersed, and when it is very thin, you will faintly see an outline, whether you can see it clearly, it depends on yourself, if you are lucky, you can see it on the same day, if you are unlucky, it is also possible to stay on the top of the mountain for ten days and half a month." ”

Hearing Liu Yuan's words, my heart was only churning, and my heart said that this ancient city is also mysterious, the people of the ancient city have a higher status than the people in the village, and the roads of the ancient city have to wait for God to be happy, what kind of ancient city is this? How mysterious it is?

After sending Liu Yuan away, I was speculating about the appearance of this ancient city, I had seen two ghost towns in the ancient tombs before, and it was also very mysterious, and the hidden gossip number technique was really a headache, according to Liu Yuan's description, this ancient city seemed to be more mysterious than the ghost city we had experienced before, but the ghost city we went to before was full of dead people, basically an empty city, and this time it was an ancient city inhabited by living people, how big a gap will there be between the two?

While thinking about the general structure of the ancient city, several possibilities were speculated, two days passed quietly, Huzi and Wang Chuyi, who went out to buy cattle in the county seat, also returned to the village, when I saw the appearance of the two of them, I just wanted to laugh, both of them were covered in mud, they were simply two mud figures, especially Wang Chuyi, with long flowing hair, has now become a mud piece, sticking it on the back, if the two of them now take the bowl to find a prosperous area in the big city to ask for food, maybe they can really make a fortune.

Huzi walked into the house angrily, sat on the chair with his buttocks, and scolded when he opened his mouth, "Damn, you will do this kind of work in the future, this mountain road is already very difficult to walk, and you have to lead two cows, two or three times Lao Tzu almost fell into the ravine, this calf is still fucking disobedient, and the angry Lao Tzu really wants to chop it up and eat meat." ”

Huzi's complaining voice has not yet fallen, Wang Chuyi can't help it, he just counts it all over me, and the words of complaint are endless, and he vows never to do this kind of dirty and tiring work again.

After the two complained for a while, they began to boil water for a bath, and the seventh master and I led the cow and came to Liu Yuan's house.

Seeing the cow we brought in, Liu Yuan's face was full of excitement, and he hurriedly led the cow back to his backyard, not caring about talking to us at all, just kept stroking the cow's back, and kept talking about the cow in his mouth.

At this time, the seventh master coughed and said, "That, little brother, now that the cow has been brought back to you, shouldn't we set off?" ”

Liu Yuan touched the back of the cow and said, "Don't worry, it's not going to work in the past two days, it is estimated that the Dragon Lord is going to drive, and if you go into the Immortal Cave now, you will be drowned, I count the days, it will take at least three days, and it will be after this rain." ”

I and the seventh master originally did not believe in the dragon lord's statement, this young man said this, my first reaction was that this guy was playing us, deliberately delaying time, but it was not easy to make trouble, after all, in the whole village, only this young man promised to take us over to see, if it was really a turn, two cows are a trivial matter, in case he picks the son and does not take us to go, it will be troublesome, so I can only patiently ask him, "What does this dragon lord mean?" Why was you drowned in the Cave of the Immortals? ”

Liu Yuan only stood up at this time and said, "I remember one evening two years ago, the young people in our village were fishing on the shore of the water downstream of the entrance of the fairy cave, and suddenly someone saw the river in the distance turning, and a giant dragon was a few meters below the water, faintly visible, the giant dragon gradually approached the shore, and the waves it set off directly swept the young man fishing into the river, drowned three, and two people swam out desperately, these people are all people with excellent water in our village, according to their recollections, When the dragon appeared, the fairy cave was full of water, and it directly touched the entrance of the cave, and whoever was in the cave at this time would definitely be drowned. ”

I saw that he was very sincere, and I may have seen that we were a little skeptical, which made Liu Yuan's young man full of anxiety, and kept explaining to us the story about the Dragon King.

Through his description, I probably had an answer in my heart, could it be the legendary water monster?
