Chapter Thirty-Four: The Fairy Land in the Mountains

Seeing that it was dark all around, Li Xiaobai was so frightened that he grabbed my arm tightly, and the antique Li fell directly to the ground, only Chen Laosan, a pair of cat eyes stared brightly, and there was no fear on his face.

I glanced around, it was a river hidden in the mountain, there was a lot of space, and I looked up at the height, at least thirty or forty meters.

Countless spiky stalagmites fell upside down, making the whole cave look eerie.

"What the fuck is this! How...... How can there be such a big hole! Li Xiaobai asked tremblingly.

For more than five minutes, Li Xiaobai and Antique Li came to their senses, slowly stood up, and looked around by the meager light.

Chen Laosan not only did not have the slightest fear, but even laughed a few times and said to Li Xiaobai:

"My father was right! It turns out that there really is a 'cave fairyland' in the world. ”

As soon as he said this, all three of us looked at him with our eyes.

Chen Laosan smiled again and asked me to hold the rudder first.

He opened the plank, and the monkey went down, and in less than a minute, he held out a large box with both hands, and the man jumped up with it.

After the box was opened, there were some messy tools inside, Chen Laosan took out two table lamps the size of plates, handed one to Chen Xiaobai, and took one himself.

Seeing that his eyes lit up, Chen Laosan turned on the light in his hand and emitted a strong white light.

"Isn't it strange to you! I've been waiting for this day for seventeen years! Finally found the entrance today. ”

"What do you say? You've known there was such a place? Seventeen years of waiting? I was shocked, and immediately felt that the originally honest Ningxia man in front of me suddenly became unfamiliar.

"You're not bad guys, and I won't hide it!"

Saying that, Chen Laosan took the rudder.

"You...... Who the hell are you? ”

Antique Lee asked tremblingly.

"I'm just an ordinary eater of Yellow River rice, you don't have to doubt this, there is something I deceived you, and that is about my father's death!"

Before, Chen Laosan said that his father was pulled into the river by an ancient corpse in a coffin, but it turned out that he only said half of the story.

At that time, a coffin really emerged from the bottom of the water.

The dried corpse in the coffin also really moved, pulling Chen Laosan's father and rolling into the river.

But for an old "river oil" who eats Yellow River rice all year round, he is really "like a fish in water" when he gets to the water.

In a few moments, the dried corpse was cleaned up.

Curious, father and son poked their heads into the inky coffin.

They saw that the coffin was emptyβ€”only a sheepskin.

The sheepskin recounts a treasure theft:

The father and son traced the words on the sheepskin one by one, and then divided them into seven or eight parts, so that different people could help identify them.

It took them a few weeks to read the text.

From this more than 1,000-word narrative, it is impossible to see the age of this treasure theft.

According to the textual description, Chen Laosan's father judged that these seven people were the "Yellow River hunters" of the ancient Hui people, a mysterious and long-standing local profession that made a living by exploring shipwreck tombs on both sides of the Yellow River.

These seven people found a broken ancient silk book from an ancient tomb of unknown age on the edge of the Yellow River, on which the road map to the "cave fairy land" was drawn.

Looking at the specifications of this ancient tomb and the place where the ancient silk book is stored in the ancient tomb (it seems to be in the jade box in the hands of the tomb owner), it can be seen that the "cave fairy land" indicated on the map is very hidden, and it must also contain priceless treasures!

The sheepskin reads: The seven men searched along the Yellow River for three days, and finally found the entrance, and then entered a cave.

They walked along the dark river in the cave for half an hour, and came to a place where birds and flowers were singing, and where they saw some strange people.

They don't seem to welcome them, but they don't mean to be expelled.

And just like that, the seven stayed here for a few days.

The greedy nature of the Yellow River hunters was gradually revealed, and the seven men agreed to steal a dozen goose-egg-sized pearls and many other precious things from here one night, only to be discovered when they fled.

At the end of the text, the record is very bizarre.

They were chased by a group of poisonous snakes and bats, three of the seven died on the spot, and the other two died on the day they escaped.

Of the remaining two, one became insane, and the other had a strange disease - thirsty all the time.

Thirsty all the time, this is tantamount to a kind of torment, so he wants to commit suicide, but alas! I used a lot of methods, but I couldn't kill myself, helpless! He nailed himself to a coffin and became the living dead.

This person is the dried corpse in the coffin encountered by Chen Laosan and his son.

Speaking of which, it's really a creation that makes people!

Some people want to live a long life, but in the end they become short-lived ghosts; Some people want to kill themselves, but they become people who can't die.

From then on, Chen Laosan, father and son, began to look for the "fairy land in the mountains", for a month or two months...... One year, two years......

In the seventh year, Chen Laosan's father died, and at this time he also wanted to give up this seemingly hopeless exploration, but in the past thousand days, this kind of life has become a habit.

Looking back, he felt that he was cursed, in order to find this ethereal place, Chen Laosan's father regretted it, and he also took half his life.

When I heard this, my heart was about to skip a beat.

I can almost conclude now that the "fairy land in the mountains" that Chen Laosan mentioned should be the ancient village we are looking for.

"I've also heard of the Yellow River hunters, they are the sworn enemies of archaeologists!"

After a pause, Antique Li continued: "Judging from the content of the parchment you just described, those people living in the mountains should be the ancient Miao people, and they are the best at using snakes and insects!"

At this time, I naturally thought of those snakes outside the old temple village - could it also be related to the ancient village in the mountains?

The boat traveled for dozens of minutes, and there were still all kinds of strange-shaped stones on both sides.

Suddenly, I saw a small boat parked in the middle of the river in the distance, and two women standing on the boat looked less than twenty.

The two men looked at us motionlessly with oars in their hands.

It was already unbelievable to see people in such a place, but when I thought of Chen Laosan's story just now, my heart suddenly fell in an instant.

The costumes of these two people are also very strange, with bright red skirts with black circle decorations on them.

Wearing a red "handkerchief" on her head, she thought it was a female ghost who ran out of the cemetery.

It's just that this female ghost is also a little prettier!

"There are people ahead, everyone be careful......"

I whispered a reminder to the three of them.

When the three of them heard me say this, they hurriedly shone their flashlights in front of them, and they could barely recognize the silhouettes of the man and the boat, and they were all surprised!

"Yes...... It's the people depicted on the sheepskin, right? ”

Chen Laosan was also a little nervous at this time, and his face changed slightly.

At that time, the tension of the four was extremely high, except for the roar of the ship's motors, there was silence all around.

For five or six minutes, as long as hours, I stared intently at the two girls in strange red outfits. That's what they're looking at us.

At that moment, my heart was conflicted, looking forward to quickly going over and untying the veil, but also a little afraid.

The faces of the two girls gradually became clearer.

I was stunned when I saw those two faces clearly! Those were two extremely iconic faces, delicate facial features, dark eyes, red mouths, and expressions that seemed to be smiling but not smiling......

When they were less than fifty meters apart, they moved almost simultaneously, and then shouted at us almost simultaneously: "Several! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Hurry up and get on our boat, only our boat can get close to the village. ”

The two girls still had a smile on their faces, and they couldn't tell whether they welcomed us or not.

Li Xiaobai saw clearly that they were such beautiful two girls, and they were slender, no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't bring danger, and they relaxed suddenly.

Maybe young boys will get carried away in front of girls, and the more beautiful the girl, the easier it is for the boy to lose his proportion.

At this time, Li Xiaobai came out, touched his head, and asked, "You are the fairies who live in this cave fairyland!" Why is it so beautiful! ”

The two girls still had the same expressions, looked at Li Xiaobai a little, and replied: "We are from Yaochi Village, my name is Xiaoqing, this is my sister Xiaobi, are you guys men!" ”

Under normal circumstances, when a woman says this kind of thing to a man, it generally has two meanings, either insulting or molesting, but judging from Xiaoqing and Xiaobi's expressions, they are neither abusive nor molesting, they should really have never seen a man.

"Two sisters, our ship is big, or get on our ship?"

I immediately changed the subject, lest Li Xiaobai show more ugliness.

Unexpectedly, when I said this, the corners of the two of them rose slightly a few times, and Xiaoqing replied: "No matter how big your boat is, I'm afraid it won't be able to rely on the shore ......."

They say this repeatedly, and we can't force it, it's on their territory, maybe there are some special customs or rules here.

I almost exclaimed when I boarded their boat and sat next to Bi and accidentally looked into the water.

The back of Xiaobi's skirt is empty, which means that you stand in front of her and look at it, this is a long skirt that touches the knee, but if you stand behind her, you will see that the so-called skirt can only hold half of the buttocks.

I suddenly felt a little spicy on my face, and my heart beat faster.

Looking at Xiaoqing next to him, he is also in the same costume, with plump protrusions at the end of his two straight long legs......

In the end, the three of them also saw this "spring" scene one after another, Chen Laosan and the antique Li two old men were nothing, Li Xiaobai trembled, and his eyes couldn't be taken off.

Xiaoqing and Xiaobi didn't feel embarrassed, seeing that we were seated, waving the oars, and the boat was moving.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, I was idle, casually looking into the water, and suddenly the back of my head "buzzed".

I didn't know when the ship was crawling around with countless insects, and I couldn't tell if they were leeches, snakes, or other insects.

The strange thing is that although there are many of these bugs, they are not close to the hull of the boat (about a meter and a half away), and countless bugs are rolling and entanglement in the water, and the scene makes people feel itchy.
