I pressed my ears closer to it to hear who was coming from and what they were talking about. It's a pity that the cave is empty, and the hole is too small to hear clearly.

At this moment, I suddenly felt something touch on my back, because I thought it was Shen Yu, so I didn't care, and I didn't look back, just waved my hand behind me.

"Come here, the stones here are dripping through the water, and there's a passage leading to another cave, and there's someone talking in it."

Shen Yu didn't answer, and he didn't turn his face. I couldn't help but wonder and couldn't help but look back.

It doesn't matter, it almost scared me away.

Because what I slapped just now was not Shen Yu's hand, but a strange thing. It was long, round, and fleshy, and it was fine to call it a tentacle - and only one tentacle came from behind the stone, and it couldn't see the thing itself.

I was standing in that depression, all my vision was blocked, and I couldn't see where Shen Yu was standing when I looked up, but there was still a light in that direction, and it was obvious that she was still behind the stone.

"Shen ......" As soon as I lowered my voice and made a sound, I saw that tentacle suddenly stood upright. It immediately dawned on me that this thing was determined by sensing sounds.

As soon as I figured this out, I heard a sudden "clang" in the distance, followed by a series of sounds of things rolling on the ground. Needless to say, this must be Shen Yu's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

The tentacles were immediately retracted, and then she saw Shen Yu flashing out half of her body from behind the stone, she didn't dare to speak, she just told me with her lips, "Hurry up"!

I nodded hurriedly, and we stood on tiptoe, neither of us daring to speak, but we walked away from this side step by step, towards the depths of the cave.

After walking for about five or six minutes, and turning seven or eight times in succession, we thought that the thing had been left far behind, so we quickened our pace and ran all the way before we dared to open our mouths.

"What the hell was that?" I asked Shen Yudao.

"I only saw two light bulb-like eyes with a lamp on my head, and I didn't dare to shine directly at it. But in terms of size, it's pretty big, and it looks like it's carrying a carapace, the hard kind - what about you? ”

"I saw something as fleshy as a tentacle, looking like a giant earthworm." I say.

"Lin Ying's report is true, there are indeed monsters underground—but it's really strange."

I nodded and said, "You're saying that the resources underground can't support the existence of such a big animal, right?" ”

"That's right, don't talk about the underground, now the ground is full of people all over the mountains, and there are not many resources, and the mountains are bald after years of cutting down - there is no grass to eat."

"In nature, man is actually a resource...... "I reminded Shen Yu.

"You mean—cannibalism? That's even more impossible.,People are counted by heads.,If you don't come back overnight, you'll be called to the police to find someone.,It's even more impossible to give the monster as a ration.。 ”

She was stunned for a moment, then pointed around and asked, "Where are we now?" ”

That's when I realized that we had been running to escape from the monsters, but now we couldn't even figure out where we were.

What is certain, however, is that this is a large cave with stone pillars that hold up the dome – a marvel of nature, as well as traces of man's excavation.

According to the briefing, if this is a major cave, then there must be a black coffin or something.

Shen Yu was probably close to my thoughts, she looked at me and said directly, "Let's look for it?" ”

In fact, we didn't have to look for too long, because this cave is not big at all, we turned around half a circle in the stone pillar forest, and found that a stone pillar was smoothed, and then engraved with a nine-song seal character.

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Yu asked me.

"Birth, the birth of life."

"Inside the Eight Gates, is there a birth gate?"

"Yes, one of the three Jimen." I say.

Shen Yu nodded, then pointed to the coffin and asked, "Go up and have a look." ”

The two of us walked side by side towards the coffin, and even though nothing happened on the way, I was still on guard.

"Since it's Jimen, there shouldn't be anything bad, right?" Shen Yu asked me.

"It's really not, although I don't know it too well, but Qimen Dunjia also pays attention to collocation, and pays attention to turning evil into good fortune. Jimen and Jimen are both static referents, but once they are incorporated into the dynamic, they can be converted into each other.

"The so-called Qimen Dunjia is to find out the hidden 'A' within the eight gates, and often the A is not hidden in Jimen, but it is easy to find it in a place like the Shocking Gate.

Shen Yu glanced at me: "Why do I think you are more like a magic stick." ”

"I'm erudite, not superstitious." I repeatedly emphasized that I accompanied Shen Yu to the coffin in the briefing.

The coffin of Shengmen has obviously not been visited yet, but if you look up from below, you will see that the coffin here is higher than the others - a full nine steps of steps.

The two of us climbed the stairs, and the flat-roofed arrangement on the coffin came into view one by one - the offering table, as well as the Xuande furnace on it, and there was also an offering table in front of each of the stone figurines around, and the copper basin on it was filled with pearl agate, coral and jade trees, although they were covered with thick dust, but they still looked dazzling.

"Strange, the briefing said that there are monsters and animals in the cave, and we both witnessed the monsters with our own eyes just now. It's all connected, so why haven't even monsters come here for hundreds of years, and haven't smashed the layout here? Shen Yu said to himself.

"Maybe the monster is the one who takes care of the treasure. Didn't you say that this is called the Dragon's Lair? Legend has it that the dragon is guarding the orb under the nine abysses. ”

"The thing we saw just now, could it be Lilong?"

"How can it be, there are no dragons in the world." I say.

"If there are no dragons, what do you say about those monsters?"

"This—I'm afraid it's beyond what science knows." I say.

"Your attitude is that you have metaphysical thoughts in your bones." Shen Yu said disdainfully.

We looked around the offerings and stone figurines, and saw that the stone figurines were of strange shapes, the figurines were square and tall, the upper limbs were short, and the other animals were also of different shapes, both like the animals of the present and not like the animals of the known.

But this is understandable, art also needs to be changed and exaggerated. For example, the well-known stone lion in Chinese, it actually does not look like a real lion at all - because it was originally called a fox, a legendary mythical beast. Later, Western envoys brought lions, which were considered by the Chinese to be sinister, called around, and the two were strung together.

The same animal also has the giraffe, the Ming Dynasty people saw the giraffe from the African envoys, saw that it was not aggressive, did not harm the living beings, and the appearance was peculiar and large, so it was called "Kirin" - until now, the Japanese giraffe is still pronounced "Kirin".
