84_84070 We stood there for a moment, not daring to act rashly, but after waiting for a long time, we didn't see any movement from the man and the beast, but the tall "beast" was still whining there, but it never stopped.

We looked at each other, Ansari frowned, the first one jumped down, and walked cautiously, Li Dong and I followed closely behind, until we reached the center of the cave, and saw that we were behind the man and the beast, but the other party still did not react.

This doesn't seem quite right, it stands to reason that our three uninvited guests, with a flashlight, broke into the deep mountain cave, even if the other party is not angry, at least have to question, right?

But as the distance got closer and closer, we all saw the scene in front of us clearly, only to find that the tall figure was not a beast, but a boulder about three meters high, standing in the middle of the stone cave, black, and from a distance it really looked like the back of a beast.

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and I was worried for a long time, but this was the case. But when we looked at the boulder, there was indeed a man sitting with his back to us, an old man dressed in sackcloth, with white hair and bare legs.

The three of us looked at each other again, stopped a few meters away from the old man, stood still for a moment, did not see the old man make a sound, nor did he move, Ansari glanced at me, gestured with his eyes, I understood what he meant, stepped forward and said: "Old gentleman, excuse me, we inadvertently uh, passing by here, accidentally lost our way, I don't know what place this is, I hope the old gentleman will forgive me, tell us the way out"

I babbled alone, the old man was still indifferent, I was a little strange, carefully walked around to the old man, but saw the old man with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged on the ground, his hands clasped in front of his chest, not moving at all, although his appearance was old, but his face was like a full moon, his cheeks were ruddy, with a slight smile, and his white hair was tied in a bun on the top of his head, which looked quite fairy.

I can't help but respect, presumably this is a hermit who lives in the deep mountains, I have heard that there are some hermit masters in the famous mountains and rivers, I didn't expect to meet one here, and look at the old man's appearance seems to be sixty or seventy years old, but his hair is white, and his actual age is afraid to be 100 years old.

I suddenly felt that we were very reckless, and I was about to respectfully salute the old man, Ansari also walked over, but his expression was a little strange, he stepped forward to look at the old man a few times, and tentatively reached out to touch the end of the old man's nose, then took a step back, bowed to the old man, and said: "This old man has passed away, and the younger generation does not know, and it is not strange to offend." ”

Immortal Death? Isn't that just dead, but looking at the appearance of this old man, where does it look like he is dead?

I also cautiously stepped forward to try it, and the old man really didn't have a snort, but I didn't look like a dead man, so I asked Li Dong suspiciously: "You are a local, do you know what the situation is?" ”

Li Dong always stood in the distance, shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "I have been away for many years, and the situation on the mountain is not familiar, but I have heard that in the past, there were immortals living on this Song Mountain, and there were people in all dynasties who met immortals. ”

"Well, I think so too, it seems that we stumbled by mistake and found a cave where the Songshan hermit lived in seclusion, but" I muttered to myself and looked around, but the cave was very simple, there was only a stone platform in front of the old man, a straw mat on the ground, and the only futon was still sitting under the old man's buttocks, and there was no decoration in the whole cave, not even a living utensils.

Could it be that this old man has already practiced the Bigu Gong and can skip eating or drinking?

I couldn't help but marvel, and I walked around the cave again, and found that it was empty, and although the whole cave did not have any utensils, it was also smooth and clean, and there was nothing unusual about it.

However, if this is the case, where does the colorful glow come from?

Ansari's attention was fixed on the boulder, and he stood under it, looking up thoughtfully, as it still whined, sounding like someone whispering, like a wild beast roaring.

In the cave, there was a wind coming from nowhere, the three of us looked around, and suddenly Li Dong pointed to the cave, opposite the old man and said, "You see, there seems to be a gap there, and the wind is blowing from there." ”

I hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, I saw a strange sound in the place he was pointing to, and when I walked over and listened, it was the sound of the wind blowing in, and then I looked closely, there was an extremely narrow gap in the stone wall, but it was a little strange, the stone wall there seemed to be a little different from the surroundings, but it was a bit like someone was forced into the hole.

I tried to push the stone wall, but naturally it didn't move, but I quickly found the truth along the stone wall, and that was - it was clearly a large rock, blocking the entrance of the cave, and the crack was exposed, and the wind blew in and swept over the boulder in the cave, making a whining sound like a whisper.

Li Dong also suddenly said: "I understand, the colorful light just now, I'm afraid it is the last ray of brilliance of the sunset, shining somewhere outside, it may be fog, it may be water, by chance, it forms that kind of colorful glow, and then it is transmitted through this gap." ”

"But when we came in, it was already dark, and where was the sunset?"

"That's a matter of direction, the mountain peaks are dangerous, and nature blocks the sun, but not necessarily in other places, this is the magic of nature. For so many years, I always thought that when I was a child, I saw the glow of immortals, but it turned out to be like this. ”

Li Dong sighed with emotion on his face, and seemed to be very pleased that he had unlocked this secret, I pinched my nose and didn't say anything, but I thought in my heart, what does this have to do with us?

Ansari searched around the cave again, and finally returned to the center, shook his head and said: "It's nothing special, it seems that this old man should be a hermit who lives in seclusion here, he chooses such a secluded life, we shouldn't disturb his peace, let's leave as much as possible." ”

I think about it, anyway, we didn't have any purpose here, just to see the tree hole suspected of being a dragon soul wood, and came down to investigate, although I saw this mysterious cave, how could the owner have passed away in the meantime, and I can't ask if I want to investigate.

Li Dong was a little unwilling, he stood in front of the stone wall, and said to himself: "There must be a cave outside, as long as we can open this cave and push away this boulder."

"Push the boulder away? You're not kidding, such a big stone is blocked here, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of catties, not to mention the three of us, it's useless to come another thirty. ”

As I spoke, I was ready to go out, even if this is a paradise, the Immortal Cave Mansion, but the "immortal" has passed away, which means that the opportunity only stops here, if you want to force something, it will not be good.

Li Dong stood in front of the stone wall, did not move, kept looking, Ansari looked back at him a few times, and said, "You want to bring explosives and try it after you go back, right?" ”

Li Dong turned his head and said with a somewhat strange expression: "No, no, I just want to see if there are any other discoveries, after all, it is not easy to come in once, I have grown so big, this is the first time I have found this kind of secret hole in Songshan." ”

Ansari glanced at him and said lightly: "Let me remind you, this place seems to be wide, but it is actually at least twenty meters deep underground, if you want to forcibly blast the stone wall, there is a great chance of causing it to collapse." If you want to do that, you can plant explosives there, and there, but be careful about the amount, too much will happen."

Ansari kept pointing to a few places and said to Li Dong, seeing that Li Dong's face was blue and red, he sneered and said: "Brother An said that he was joking, I just took a look at it, let's go out, there is nothing to see here, I guess there is a valley outside, what is so strange"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to go outside, but when he came to the platform where we jumped down, he looked up and was about to go up, when he suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch, where is this, where is this door?" ”

I hurriedly looked up, and was shocked to see that when we came, the narrow passage had disappeared in this moment

On top of the platform, there was only a black stone wall, as if the passage had never been preserved.

Ansari jumped onto the platform with an arrow, stretched out his hand and slapped it everywhere a few times, and said with a solemn face: "Did anyone hear any movement just now, such as the opening of the mechanism or something?" ”

"No, I didn't hear any movement, didn't I have been studying that stone wall just now, Li Dong, did you hear it?" I looked at Li Dong and asked, he also shook his head: "You didn't hear it, of course I didn't hear it either"

Ansari tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped off the platform, rushed to the old man's side in a few steps, and looked up and down, left and right.

I also walked over and frowned, "What, do you suspect there is something wrong with him?" But it's a dead man. ”

Ansari stared at the old man and said, "I have heard that a great man has passed away, and the skin of his body is the same as if he was alive, his face is like life, and his body is immortal. But if a person dies, even if the flesh does not rot, the skin must be abnormal, you can press the old man's skin and try it. ”

What he said makes sense, but how lightly offended the deceased, not to mention such a mysterious old man, I hesitated, thinking that I couldn't care so much, and then looking at the old man's kind eyebrows, it is estimated that he was not a wicked person when he was alive, hermit, thinking of this, I stretched out my hand and gently pressed it on the old man's face

But I had just pressed my finger, and before I could understand what it felt, I suddenly heard a strange sound next to me.

"Poof".
