As the old man said, the dark river in this cave is not "a little weird", but "too weird" - the water flows low, who doesn't know? As long as it is on the earth, this is the law, how can the flow of a river be opposite day and night? Could it be that the terrain in the cave also changes with day and night? It's incredible, isn't it?

"Oh, old man, such a strange dark river is really rare in the world, why did you just think it was 'a little' strange when you saw it before, and you shouldn't feel 'shocked', right?" Sister Li said half-jokingly.

The old man shook his head and explained with a slightly wry smile: "It is indeed a great miracle, but there are too many strange things in this mountain, you may not know, there are some places in this mountain, and it will open and close automatically, so I have been in the mountain for decades, and I have encountered too many strange things, and I have long seen no strangeness." ”

When we think about it, what the old man said makes sense, and it is true.

Sister Li nodded, smiled embarrassedly and said: "What your old man said is also right, this mountain is indeed very weird, we have also experienced it, as for the mountain you said will automatically open and close, we have seen it with our own eyes, interrupt you, sorry, you continue." ”

The old man also smiled and nodded, cleared his throat, and continued: "It was night, and I went in with the 'monkey eagle' with the wood and wading through the water. It was pitch black inside, and it was inconvenient to light a torch, and I was worried that I would not be able to see the 'monkey eagle' leading the way, when suddenly I noticed that there was a blue glow on the claws of the 'monkey eagle', and it turned out to be the 'monkey eagle' who wrapped a ball of fireflies in a small piece of mosquito net cloth and tied it to its claws.

It's so wonderful to be able to see it from a distance, but it's not easy to see from a distance. In this way, I followed the faint light of the fireflies and followed the 'monkey eagle'.

As soon as I had walked into the cave, the water became deeper and deeper, and the current was very fast, so I clung to the wood and floated into it with the current, which was very easy without having to swim by myself, while the 'Monkey Eagle' flew unhurriedly in front of me.

I don't know how long I drifted, but suddenly, the current suddenly forked, and I hurriedly held on to the rock wall, controlling the direction of my drifting, and followed closely with the 'monkey eagle' in front, I knew that if I drifted to other forks, it might be very dangerous.

At every fork in the road, the 'Monkey Eagle' would stop on the nearby rock wall to make sure I wasn't swept away on another fork in the road, which warmed my heart, and I was so worried about my safety, and did so much so with my son, even for my son.

There are so many forks in the cave that I haven't gotten to, it's like a maze, and after a short time of drifting, I'm dizzy, but fortunately there has been a 'monkey eagle' in front of me to guide the way, I feel very relieved, I know, as long as I follow it, it's right.

I don't know how many hours I floated in the water, I was already a little exhausted and a little trance, but I still fought hard and looked closely at the 'monkey eagle' in front of me.

And the 'Monkey Eagle' also seemed to know that I was tired, so it slowed down a lot to make sure I could keep up with it. Just when my body was almost at its limit, I suddenly felt that the water was still.

I hurriedly cheered up, only then suddenly found that I had drifted out of this cave, I don't know where I went, at this time, the air was much fresher, look around, it was all black, I couldn't see anything, I don't know what time it was, it was estimated that it was already the second half of the night.

Seeing that the 'monkey eagle' had squatted on a stone next to it, I also quickly climbed out of the water, and sat on a boulder, for some reason, the stone was warm, so that I felt very comfortable, although it was the height of summer, but the water in the cave was still very cold, soaked in it for so long, my hands and feet were a little numb, shivering.

The warm stone made me slowly recover, and I simply lay down on it, and strangely enough, there was not a single mosquito in this valley, and I was probably too tired to fall asleep before I knew it.

I don't know how long later, just when I was sleeping in a daze, I felt a cold on my face, and I woke up suddenly, at this time, the sky was already bright, but when I saw the qiē around me, I was completely stunned.

It is not surprising that the stones around me were all red—not brightly red, but such red stones are really uncommon, and what is even more incredible is that I seem to be in a large well surrounded by rock walls—surrounded by steep cliffs of ninety degrees, which go straight up and down, and there is not a single gap in the cliff wall.

And I was at the bottom of this 'big well', I looked up, and found that the surrounding rock walls were not exactly the same height, the lowest was about dozens of zhang, and the highest was towering into the sky, and the rock wall was extremely smooth, and there was no way to climb it.

And the bottom of this 'big well' is only a few dozen steps in diameter at most. To be honest, I have lived in the mountains all my life, and I have never seen such a wonderful terrain, and I did not expect that there are such naturally formed 'wells' in this mountain.

And the only passage of this well is probably to the dark river outside, and it is impossible to get out from other places. At this time, the 'monkey eagle' shouted a few words next to me, I hurriedly looked over, I don't know when, it actually held a kind of imp-like monster in its mouth, I was so frightened that I almost jumped up, and quickly waved my hand at the 'monkey eagle', it caught that kind of monster and flew up, and disappeared into the sky above this 'big well', and flew back after a while, at this time, the monster did not know where it was thrown to.

Seeing the 'Monkey Eagle' come back, I had the bottom in my heart.

I took a closer look at the bottom of the well—except for the red stones around me, even the ground was red, and there was a slight fishy smell.

Not far away, there are still a few human bones, which look very terrifying.

I don't know where the Monkey Eagle left that monster, but I can guess that the monster lives in the neighborhood.

I asked 'Monkey Eagle': Where the hell are those monsters?

The 'Monkey Eagle' chirped and began to make a gesture - it first made two circles with small stones, and then took one stone and put it in the other circle, and when it made such a gesture, I immediately understood that there was more than one 'well' surrounded by a cliff like this in the vicinity, and there were other nearby, and maybe it was 'next door'.

And those monsters are probably living in similar 'wells', when I think of this, my heart suddenly chuckled, and a thought flashed through me in an instant-do those different forks in the cave lead to different 'wells'? If I drift into the 'well' where those monsters live, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But I knew that this place was very dangerous, and I didn't know what kind of monsters would appear, so I wanted to go out quickly and see the flowing water, and sure enough, after dawn, the water began to change its direction and become a slow outflow, but at first, the speed of the flow was still very slow, and as the sun rose higher and higher, the water became faster and faster, and I picked up the log again and began to drift out, and the hole was still dark, but I found that even during the day, the direction of the flowing water of those forks was very chaotic, and not all of them flowed out of the cave, so if notThe 'Monkey Eagle' led the way in front, and I still couldn't get out. ”

After listening to the old man's words, we were really surprised and delighted, judging from all kinds of signs, the place where the old man went was very likely to be the bottom of the cliff.

I couldn't find a way to the bottom of the cliff, but I didn't expect to be able to get to guò from this hole.

However, what we didn't expect was that the terrain below the cliff would be so peculiar, it turned out to be a 'giant well' surrounded by cliffs, and the cliff wall was extremely flat, maybe it could only be climbed with a rope, but the strange thing was that the rope on the cliff wall would be mysteriously broken, so it was impossible to enter the valley bottom from the cliff wall at all.

In addition, even if he knows that there is flowing water leading to the outside, but there are too many forks in the flowing water, maybe someone can float in with the flowing water, but it is very likely to float into the 'giant well' where the monster is, then it is almost sent to death, even if he is very lucky enough to float into the 'giant well' that the old man went to, but if it wants to drift out again, because there are too many forks in the hole, it is impossible at all.

In short, these 'giant wells' under the cliffs, even if people can get in, they don't want to come out again, no wonder no one knows what is going on under the cliffs.

The bones in the patio that the old man saw were most likely from falling off the cliff and falling to his death.

It's really "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village" - from the cave above, I couldn't go down to the bottom of the cliff, but I didn't expect to find a way to the cliff here.

In this case, there is no need for us to go down, and as soon as the 'monkey eagle' comes back, we will follow the old man's method, under the leadership of the 'monkey eagle', from this hole, directly to the bottom of the cliff.

The water in this cave, with many forks, is like a labyrinth, and we are no strangers to these features, such as the entrance in the valley.

These strange characteristics make us think of the blind man again.

"Old man, where's your 'monkey eagle'? Did you go out hunting? When we come back, let it take us into the cave, just like the last time you went into the cave, as I said earlier, the monsters there are the kind that hurt your father, and also caused you to fall into this field, and we will find a way to destroy them together, so that they will no longer harm the people in this area, and avenge you. Madman Six asked tentatively.

The old man didn't speak immediately, he looked into the distance, nodded fiercely, with a look of hatred, and after a long while, he spoke: "Yes, you are right, I have been so badly harmed by these monsters, as long as I can destroy these evil animals, it doesn't matter if I lose my life." ”

At this time, it was already about four o'clock in the afternoon, the old man said, his 'monkey eagle', should be back soon, before his voice fell, we suddenly heard a strange sound, that seemed to be a human scream, and then, we saw the distant hillside, a big bird stumbled down, and almost fell to a stone in the distance, as if injured, the old man exclaimed, even rolling and crawling rushed over, we suddenly realized that the big bird that fell down is the "monkey eagle", How could it suddenly get hurt?

We immediately had a sense of foreboding, and hurriedly followed the old man to see.

When I got closer, it was the "monkey eagle" that the old man said, and it looked really scary - except for an eagle's beak, the other parts were indeed very similar to monkeys, and it looked very weird.

The "monkey eagle" curled up there, groaning in pain, almost exactly like a human, and it was creepy to listen to, and on its left wing, a strange arrow was sticked.
