I think the only explanation is that there was someone under the dinghy, and the man saw us coming, dragged the dead man into the dinghy in an attempt to hide, and now he is dragging the dinghy in the water and diving into the cave.

As soon as I saw the dead man, a sense of crisis came to my heart, and I pushed the dead man on the surface of the river with a wooden penny, and it was actually very light. I wanted to know who he was, so I turned it over with a penny.

The two monks were on the same raft as me, and when they saw the man clearly, they both let out a burst of exclamation, and one of them cried out, "It's a water monkey!" It's a water monkey! Go back! As he spoke, he desperately slid the raft backwards, but on the raft behind stood Zhong Ling'er and the master, and the three rafts were close together, how could he slide for a while?

"What's the matter? Panicked? The master scolded.

The monk pointed to the water and shouted, "There are water monkeys!" ”

I was also surprised, after I turned the man over, I found that the man was already completely skinless, his eyes were gouged out, the corners of his mouth were swollen, there was a large blood hole in his chest, and his chest was empty, that is, his heart and other things had been hollowed out, and it was simply unrecognizable and miserable.

What kind of person can be so poisonous? Could it really be a water monkey? I also know about the water monkey, a kind of monster lurking in the water in Chinese folklore, that is, "water ghost", commonly known as "water monkey", it is said that it is a ghost similar to the ghost of the person who drowned in the water, and must be replaced by drowning a person.

The monk was so frightened that he lost his soul and kept retreating, and the master walked up, looked at the dead man on the surface of the water with a flashlight, and recited heavily: "Amitabha, sin, sin......" The monk cried out in horror: "Master, we can't go any further, otherwise we will all be eaten by water ghosts!" ”

The master thoughtfully told the two monks to go back, but they had to take the dead man out as well, and not let it stay in the water, because the corpse would rot and cause water pollution.

At the master's order, the two monks reluctantly dragged the dead body to the raft where Yu Feng was standing, and then propped the raft and drove towards the outside of the cave.

Dead people, and so miserable, an invisible haze spreads in our hearts. We looked at each other, caught in a dilemma. I glanced at the madman, and saw that he was staring at the water, expressionless, silent, I was worried that the dead man just now made him have a kind of fear, and even more worried about the safety of Zhong Ling'er and the master, because they have no kung fu, in case there is danger, this is on the water, I can't guarantee that everyone will be safe, so I raised my voice and said: "That murderer is most likely the water monkey, even if it is not a water monkey, he is also a perverted and murderous guy, if everyone thinks it is not safe to go in, go back now." ”

However, no one said they wanted to go back.

I also suggested that I follow Yu Feng in and have a look, and the rest of the people go outside the cave to wait for news. The master said, "Since you have come, you need not be afraid. When he said that, no one wanted to go back. So, everyone moved on. I was particularly worried about Zhong Ling'er, so I stood beside her and vigilantly propped up the raft forward.

We were amazed at the fact that there was an underground river below, and this river was not small, at least the water we were on now was five or six meters wide, and the banks and the top of our heads were covered with stones, and there were water insects crawling on it from time to time, and sometimes one or two water snakes swam by, I didn't care about these, but stared ahead to find the rubber boat.

Yu Feng chased after us with a raft, walking side by side with us, and he used a flashlight to shine on the right side of the front and said, "Look, you can dock there." "I looked there, and found that there was indeed a flat land, about twenty or thirty square meters, and it was full of stones, and it stretched deep into it, as if there was a road. We swam towards that side with the raft.

When I got to the shore, I found that the rubber boat was sandwiched between two reefs, and when we got ashore, I used a wooden penny to get the rubber boat out of between the reefs, and then pulled it ashore with the help of Yu Feng.

There was a big gap at the bottom of the dinghy, and there were blood stains on it.

If the death of the owner of the dinghy was really the work of the water monkey, then the water monkey should have been around here at this time.

I jumped on a large rock and shone my flashlight around, and there was nothing but a few black frogs. And this stone paved area was much wider than I had imagined, and seemed to stretch all the way inward, and the end was pitch black and bottomless.

At this time, we were faced with two choices, one was to take the water route, and the other was to take the dry road. I recommend taking a dry road, which is relatively safe, and if this is the entrance to the tomb, I think the coffin is less likely to be placed near the water. The master thought differently from me, he said that walking on the water is a shortcut, and there are many hanging coffins here, that is, hanging the coffin on the rock wall. Moreover, Crazy Qi is in line with the master's thoughts, and also recommends taking the waterway.

Yu Feng, Zhong Ling'er, and Mu Lanlan did not express their opinions, I guess they are also in favor of taking the water route, after all, the master is an authority in this regard, but he didn't say it because of my face.

Suddenly, Mu Lanlan shouted urgently: "The raft is going over there!" ”

We looked at the water, and sure enough, the raft on which Yu Feng was standing swam towards the water at this time, more than two meters away from the shore. Because we had only planned to go to the shore to have a look, we didn't think there was a road up there, so some of the things we were carrying were still on the raft.

As soon as the raft was gone, wouldn't those things follow with it? Besides, even if we take a dry road, we will need to use a raft when we return.

As soon as he was about to jump towards the raft, Yu Feng grabbed him, shone a flashlight on the raft and said in a deep voice: "Slow, look what it is." ”

We looked at the front of the raft and saw that there was a black thing, like a hand, which was not much different from a human hand, but it was very thin and hairy, and it was the hand that dragged the raft forward.

Could it be that the water monkey's hand?

I picked up a rock and shot it hard at the wrist of the hand, which retracted into the water, causing a ripple in the water.

"Sure enough, it's a water monkey." Zhong Ling'er said: "The person was killed by this water monkey before. This water monkey is very ferocious, it moves very fast in the water, like electricity and wind, and its strength is infinite, if we fall into the water, we are afraid that no one will be able to fight it. ”

When the hand retracted into the water, the raft came to a standstill, but only for a few seconds before it moved again and swam towards the opposite shore. We watched as the raft swam farther and farther away, and we frantically pulled out the machete behind our waists and leaped towards the raft.

"Don't go!" Yu Feng hurriedly shouted. But it was too late, and the madman had already jumped onto the raft and landed lightly on it, and suddenly a ripple rippled from the side of the raft to the surroundings.

The machete is actually a firewood knife, but the handle is longer and the blade is very thick, and if the strength is great, it is estimated that it can cut a boulder. The madman was armed with a machete, his eyes fixed on the water.

We sweated together.

Yu Feng frowned and said, "This little brother, don't you know how powerful the water monkey is?" ”

I don't think it's because he doesn't know how powerful the water monkey is, but because he is sure to defeat the water monkey.

The water gradually quieted down, and the madman grabbed the penny from the raft with his left hand and pushed it into the water with his right hand, and the raft began to swim towards us. Mu Lanlan shouted at him, "Throw the things on it." "The madman put down the penny, lifted the two bags from the raft and threw them at us, and they were throwing them at our feet.

As soon as he finished throwing it, the raft suddenly shook, and his crazy body shook with it, and he almost sat down, and he immediately hunched his waist and clenched his machete and looked around the water vigilantly. In less than two seconds, the raft vibrated again, and it shook so violently that he was almost unsteady on his feet, and Yu Feng shouted at him: "Jump here!" The madness fell on deaf ears, and stood in the middle of the raft, striding with his horse walking, his eyes fixed on the water.

Suddenly, the front of the raft sank into the water, and the raft tilted violently, and the raft sank into the water, and became at an angle of forty-five degrees to the water, and he was about to slide into the water, and he stepped on it hard, and rose into the air, and stayed in the air for about two or three seconds before falling, and stepped heavily on the tail of the raft, and cocked the front of the raft at once.

As the front of the raft turned upward, a black monkey-like monster was also pulled out of the water, and he grabbed the penny that was about to slide into the water and picked it up hard, and the monkey flew up, and fell to the shore with a thud.

The water monkey fell, fell enough to choke, fell to the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, we ran over to see, only to see this guy all over the long hair, red eyes and black face, very hideous, it looked at us, hurriedly crawled into the water. When it was about to climb into the water, the madman had already jumped ashore and slashed at it, causing the water monkey to scream and behead in a different place.

We were dumbfounded.

This crazy little brother, don't look at his usual taciturn, but when he starts, he is unambiguous.

He kicked the body of the water monkey into the water with two more feet and said to us, "The water monkey has been removed, there will be no more danger on the surface of the water, let's go through the waterway." ”
