289. Chapter 289: The Cave
"This 'Falling Flower Cave Girl' ......"
Lu Fan continued:
Luohua Cave Girl, is a unique custom in Xiangxi, it is rumored that there are some unmarried women in the minority tribes, walking through a cave when walking the mountain road, looking at the cave, and then returning home without eating or drinking, died a few days later, with a strange smile on her face. The people in the tribe thought that she had married the mountain god, called the "Falling Flower Cave Girl", so after the death of these girls, their families not only did not give them funerals, but held weddings, but also held a festive and lively ceremony, in order to show respect for the mountain god, and the mountain god became a family, hoping that the living people could be blessed by the mountain god.
After listening to this, Hu Xunyi sighed with emotion: "The world is so big, there are no surprises. ”
The dark-skinned guide was also impressed by Lu Fan, a young man who looked like a student, and knew more than the locals.
In fact, Lu Fan also knows more about strange things, because although there is no Cangshan in the first ten years, the master often explains to him all kinds of strange things in the world, and has achieved a small encyclopedia.
The "little girl who sells insect dishes" told Hu Xunyi that her destination was more than ten kilometers away from "Heilonggouzi".
The black dragon ditch is located in the depths of the undulating mountains of Xiangxi, and it is said that there is a black dragon lying there, hence the name.
Under the guidance of the guide, the crowd went deeper and deeper.
When they entered an extraordinarily dense jungle, they felt that it was dark in front of them, and as they groped their way through a few steps, their eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness of the forest, and a wild world completely different from the civilized world appeared in front of them.
The guide said, "This is the 'Black Dragon Ditch'." ”
At a distance of only ten meters, everything can change so completely that it feels full of wonder and danger.
Only Lu Fan's face did not change and he had no fear. You must know that he has been accompanied by the deep mountains and old forests for more than ten years, and when he entered this black dragon ditch, it made him feel like he was going home, and everything was indifferent.
Hu Xunyi and the others, including the guide, were frightened by the sound of insects and snakes in the forest around them, and changed color.
Chen Menglong walked up to Lu Fan and said, "I don't like to be bored in the company and sit in the office all day long, how good it feels to go out and run the mountains like now." ”
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "If you like it, it's fine." ”
The road is getting harder and harder, and the black dragon ditch is really like a dragon body winding.
The tall trees that shade the sky and the sun use their strangely shaped roots and knotted vines on their trunks to build a natural barrier in the forest, separating civilized society from primitive wilderness.
Occasionally, a few old trees will appear in the forest, withered, but as if they have not lost their lives, and the epiphytic plants on their bodies are skillfully propagated, and they look beautiful in a variety of forms.
The woodland is also home to countless fungi and strange flowers.
These things, picking a few things and taking them out, can be sold for money.
Toxic can be pharmaceutical, non-toxic can be used in dishes. Now the price of wild mushrooms is getting higher and higher, and the same is true for some wild vegetables.
But they didn't bother to do anything, because they were busy on their way.
We really need to hurry.
As the saying goes, a mountain is divided into four seasons and ten miles of different days.
It is said that in the middle of this mountain, the weather and climate are also changeable due to the change of topography.
No, the sky was clear in the town of Red Stone Forest, and after passing a canyon and entering a ditch, it began to rain lightly.
The crowd had to take out the tools to shelter from the rain and brave the rain.
However, the dirt road became muddy and very difficult to walk.
Hu Xunyi deliberately wore hiking shoes, but he was also covered with mud, and he slipped and slipped when he walked, and was supported by bodyguards so that he didn't fall and hurt himself.
Lu Fan and Chen Menglong are both good families, with a stable lower plate, walking on the dirt road like walking on the ground.
As he walked, one of the bodyguards stumbled and fell into a nearby stream, but fortunately the stream was not deep or urgent, and he crawled out by himself, but his whole body was wet, cold and freezing.
Seeing this, Lu Fan proposed to take a break.
Hu Xunyi agreed.
So everyone lit a fire in the shelter from the rain on the side of the road, and let the bodyguard warm and dry his clothes.
Rest and regroup, and continue on the road.
After walking for another three hours, the guide looked around and suddenly stopped.
Hu Xunyi asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The guide said, "You can't go any further." ”
Hu Xunyi asked, "Why?" ”
The guide's voice trembled a little and said: "I have been here with the herb pickers on this mountain to collect medicine, and they said that this area is very weird, and strange things often happen, so don't go near ......."
Hu Xunyi looked at the black and oppressive large forest in front of him, and the atmosphere was indeed strange and terrifying.
He groaned for a moment and said, "Go further." As long as you take me to my destination, the price that was negotiated before will be doubled. ”
When the guide heard the price increase, his eyes lit up, and he just wanted to say yes, but he couldn't help it, shook his head vigorously, and muttered: "Although money is good, it is not important to ...... life."
Hu Xunyi said: "Three times." ”
The guide's throat choked and he didn't speak.
Hu Xunyi said: "Four times, no more." ”
The guide sighed and said, "Okay...... Come with me. ”
The group moved on.
Lu Chen and the others both sighed, if you are rich, you can be willful!
Go deep into the Black Dragon Ditch.
The rain stopped, but the sky was still dark, with fog and haze.
The cold wind blows, rolling the haze like a gauze curtain.
Lu Fan asked everyone to wear masks prepared in advance to avoid inhaling too many unclean things.
This should be the moisture formed by the terrain, not a miasma, but Lu Fan didn't dare to guarantee that there were no harmful substances mixed in it.
Out of the ditch, to a cliff.
The road is so narrow that only one person can pass on one and a half sides.
On one side is a cliff, on the other side is an abyss, if you fall, you will inevitably be crushed.
Hu Xunyi told everyone to be careful.
Follow the narrow path between the cliffs to the bottom of the cliffs.
It was a dense green bush with thumb-sized fruits of all colors.
The guide said that this is a snake, there are black, black-purple, black-red, and bright red, which have been eaten or crawled by snakes, stained with mucus, and are very poisonous.
The group walked further, and saw a huge green umbrella faintly emerging in the mist, it stood there, more than 20 meters high, but two big trees were connected, intertwined, as if they had become a canopy.
Hu Xunyi suddenly said: "Here, this is here!" ”
It turned out that the location described by the "little girl who sells insect dishes" to him is that there are two strange big banyan trees.
Behind the big banyan tree, there is a cave.
The target was in front of them, and everyone quickened their pace and came to the big tree, where they found that the branches were luxuriant, the air roots were numerous, and the sky was covered with thick shade.
Passing through the foliage area of the big banyan tree, turn to the shade of the hillside, where there is indeed a cave mouth, surrounded by vines climbing, thick green hanging low, the exposed black hole is relatively wide, almost enough for a car to drive in.
There are traces of the friction of beasts entering and exiting the hole......
