Volume 2 Xia He Chapter 48 The First Entry into the Dragon's Eye Cave (2)
When it was close to noon, he didn't come back, and the bright water master didn't pay much attention, thinking that he had gone to the drunkard's house or something else. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But in the middle of the afternoon, the rock eagle flew back, and he hadn't come back yet, which is rare. Guan Yulan asked many people in the village, but they all said that they didn't see it, and then he realized that something was wrong.
After inquiry, someone said that they saw him go up Longyan Ridge, which made Liangshui Master worry.
There are many caves on Longyan Mountain, the cave is very complicated, especially the Longyan Cave is the most, not to mention other dangers, just get lost and can't get out after going in can kill people. Although he had told him not to go into the cave, he was also very obedient and generally would not disobey. But if he was curious or some other reason to get in, it would be troublesome.
You have to go to the mountains right away to find someone.
The Bright Water Master hurriedly walked towards Longyan Ridge, and Kuang Zongjin followed behind him. Lao Kuang also wanted to follow, considering that he was almost sixty years old, he was not familiar with the place, and the mountains and roads were dangerous, so he let him stay at home and wait for news.
The Bright Water Master let go of his throat and shouted as he walked along the mountain road, and the mountains responded, not hearing Lai's answer, but hearing the familiar chirping of the eagle. The Bright Water Master looked up and saw that the rock eagle that had already returned home had flown out again, hovering above their heads at the moment.
The eaglet chirped a few more times, and after a loop, it rushed headlong in the direction of the dragon's eye hole on the mountainside.
The Bright Water Master immediately had a bad premonition. This rock eagle is very smart, and has been with it every day for more than a month, and has become an inseparable pair of good companions, and today is certainly no exception. It must have been an accident or entered the Longyan Cave, and Kitty was guiding the way.
Sure enough, when he and the panting Kuang Zongjin arrived at the entrance of the Longyan Cave, the little eaglet was standing at the entrance of the cave, and in front of it, they threw their firewood knife.
There is no doubt that he has entered the hole.
As they approached the entrance of the cave, a chill rushed over them, and Kuang Zongjin shivered involuntarily. The Bright Water Master clasped his hands in front of his mouth and shouted a few times into the cave, which made the cave buzz, but there was no response.
The entrance to the Longan Cave is round, at the lower end of a large steep rock wall. The entrance to the cave is not large, and it is a little low for tall people to stand upright to enter, and they have to bend slightly to get in. Standing at the entrance of the cave, the man could only see the stone wall one or two feet away from the cave, and the cave seemed to have turned a corner there, and it was no longer visible inside.
Kuang Zongjin bent down and glanced forward, and said, "Since we picked him up and entered the cave, then let's go in and find him." ”
After speaking, he was about to drill in, but the bright water master grabbed him and said, "You can't go in." ”
"Why?" Kuang Zongjin was puzzled.
"You don't know, this is the largest and most dangerous cave here, as long as you turn around the visible stone wall, the inside is very large, you can't go in and walk to the end, and there are many forks, it's easy to get lost." If you go in like this, you won't be able to get out nine times out of ten. I'm from this village, I know the situation, just this hole, I don't know how many people died in it. There is a man named Yang Shigong in our village, who disappeared inside the year before last, and his bones have not even been found. ”
"What then? Aren't you looking for it? ”
The Bright Water Master stared at the entrance of the cave, thought for a moment and said, "If you are looking for it, you must find it, let's go home first, get ready, and call some people to come again." ”
The news of entering the Longyan Cave spread in the village at once. There were many people gathered at the Liangshui Master's house, and Liu Yingguo and the drunkard also arrived. Everyone was obviously a little surprised when they saw that the water master had a resolute attitude and must enter the Longyan Cave to find someone.
The mysterious and terrifying Longyan Cave is an eternal taboo and an eternal topic in Daxinghua Village. ,
Regardless of winter or summer, the entrance of Longyan Cave is the same cold all year round, even the cattle and sheep in the village will not approach, it is rumored that in recent hundreds of years, only Ma Shigong has entered the hinterland.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there lived an evil dragon in the Longyan Cave, which was very rampant, and from time to time it came out to plague the people of Fangyuan, and people were helpless about it. Until one year, a skilled master Ma came to the village, and he volunteered to go into the cave to kill the evil dragon.
At that time, Ma Shi was in the prime of life, and he entered the cave alone, and when he came out of the cave three days later, his clothes were ragged and his face was withered, and he returned to the village and fell asleep for two days before waking up. According to him, there are holes in the Longyan Cave, and there are nine holes in total. There are demons in the nine caves, there are monsters everywhere, he kills demons and kills monsters all the way forward, met the evil dragon in the third hole, fought fiercely for two days and two nights, both were defeated, the evil dragon fled into the fourth hole, exhausted he was unable to chase and kill, so he had to return.
After that, Ma Shigong built a thatched hut not far from Longyan Cave and lived for 20 years, during which he accepted Yang Shigong's ancestors as disciples.
Master Ma is old, but after twenty years of cultivation, his skills have been refined and his skills have become greater. He never forgot to get rid of the evil dragon in the cave, and realized that he had completed his magic and could enter the cave. After careful preparation, he entered the Dragon's Eye Cave again with a long sword on his back.
This time it was longer, and it was seven days before he staggered out, and collapsed as soon as he got out of the hole. Ancestor Yang Shigong, who had been waiting at the entrance of the cave, hurriedly carried him home and cared for him carefully, until he woke up on the third night.
Ma Shigong, who woke up, told his disciples that he had only found the dragon after entering the seventh cave this time, and after three days and three nights of fierce fighting, he was defeated and wounded twice, and the dragon had fled into the eighth cave. He flattered himself that he couldn't get rid of the evil dragon by himself, so he had to come out of the hole and use external forces to fight this old life and get rid of that scourge.
He told his disciple that although he had come out, the Yuan Shen was still chasing and killing the evil dragon in the cave, but he couldn't hold out for long. He instructed his disciples to quickly find a piece of charcoal and put it in his mouth, so that the dragon could be burned to death and the aftermath would be eliminated forever.
At the same time, he also told his disciples that when his Yuan Yang was exhausted, he would ascend to heaven with feathers, and he should not be buried after he died, and after cremating his body, he would scatter the ashes into the Longyan Cave. At the same time, he told his disciple that he was not strong enough and that he must not enter the Longyan Cave.
After the order, Master Ma closed his eyes and asked the disciple to hurry up and burn the red charcoal and stuff it into his mouth, otherwise there would not be enough time. Yang Shigong's ancestor did not dare to delay, according to his words, and when he used the charcoal basin to burn the charcoal red and brought it to the bed, Ma Shigong was already weak and speechless, he opened his mouth wide and motioned with his eyes to the disciple to quickly stuff the fiery charcoal into it.
The disciple cried, but the master did not dare to disobey the order, so he picked up the charcoal with tongs and stuffed it into his mouth with a ruthless heart. The green smoke rose and the scorching smell was so strong that the disciples were horrified, and only half of the coals were stuffed into it. He really couldn't put his hands on it, and as a result, the dragon's lair was only half burned, and the dragon escaped death, but the four claws were destroyed, and he couldn't come out again??
Although this is just a legend, Master Ma has really existed, and Master Yang is the descendant of his disciple. It is precisely because of this that the Longyan Cave is even more mysterious and terrifying, and no one dares to enter.
In recent decades, as far as everyone knows, only the year before last, he successfully led more than a dozen militiamen in order to find Yang Shigong. According to them, they actually only went in for about half a mile before they encountered a big fork hole, not one, but several, some of which were too small for people to enter, some of which had water, and some of which looked like dead ends, and they did not dare to go inside, so they came out after a while.
Now the Bright Water Master wants to enter the cave in order to find the pick-up, and it is inconvenient for everyone to stop them, after all, they successfully entered the year before last and came out safely. I didn't encounter any demons and strange things, and it didn't seem to be as terrifying as the legend.
Let's go in, and we don't talk about anything else, but discuss which people will go into the cave, what preparations to make, what tools to bring, and so on.
Considering the complexity and danger in Longyan Cave, it was finally decided that Liangshui Division, Liu Yingguo, drunkard maniac, militia battalion commander Zeng Fanzhi, and police station chief Kuang Zongjin were finally decided
and seven people, Zeng Feng and Zhang Shishan, the backbone militia, carried a day's rations and water, and brought torches and flashlights. In terms of weapons, Director Kuang carried a small pistol with him, and Zeng Fanzhi, commander of the militia battalion, carried a submachine gun and ten rounds of ammunition left over from target training, as well as four machetes.
It stands to reason that Liu Yingguo and the drunkard are not suitable to go into the cave to find people.
After Zeng Chenggong's death, he could not find a suitable candidate for a while, and at the request of the commune and the district, the secretary of the brigade, who had only resigned for more than a month, rested on his shoulders again. He has a lot to do, and he is also in his fifties, and his physical strength is not as good as that of a young man, but he volunteered to go. It's not that he doesn't accept old age, in fact, he is selfish. Since his father Liu Liyang told him the secret of Longyan Cave, he has long wanted to go into the cave to find out. In the early years, he secretly went in once alone without telling his father and father, but he didn't go deep enough and retreated, and he almost got lost and couldn't get out, and he was really not sure to go in again. It's rare to have such an opportunity, so many people with knives and guns to go in, how could he miss it?
As for the drunkard, although he is physically tough, after all, he is over sixty years old, and there is a tacit reason for him to go in with him. Now he is a master of magic in Xinghua Village, he will subdue demons and eliminate ghosts, those mysterious and terrifying legends in the cave make people dare not enter lightly, there is no one like him to enter, what if he really encounters that kind of trouble?
After Guan Yulan cooked the meal and everyone ate, it was almost evening, and the sun had already set. Under the attention of the villagers, the group went up the mountain in good spirits.
When a group of seven people went up to the entrance of the Longyan Cave halfway up the mountainside, the sky was already numb. In order to be prepared, the flashlight was not turned on, two torches were lit, and everyone entered the cave in turn.
