We searched the grass nearby for a while, just in case, and we were all relieved when we were sure that the monster had indeed escaped.

"Is it that the tall blind man is also such a terrible appearance when he is very young", Sister Li's words made me get goosebumps all over my body, according to the various situations we currently have, Sister Li's inference is likely to be true, so thinking about it, that high blind man makes me feel even more terrible and disgusting.

After everyone stabilized their feelings, we gathered around the well again, and with the experience of the last time, everyone was cautious this time, and no one dared to look into the well again.

Xiao Lei threw a few more stones into the well to test, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he used a flashlight to shine into the well again.

Under the illumination of several strong flashlights, this dark and mysterious ancient well is finally under our prying eyes.

The inside of the well looks very ordinary - the wall of the well is made of stone, and uneven, the ancient wells of the people, most of them are like this, they are all dug by hand at that time, and the well is the most basic survival resource, the so-called "there is a well where there are people", so the craft is not exquisite, but only cares about practicality.

I remember that many ancient wells in our village are also like this, and this kind of ancient wells, most of them have become dry wells without water, I remember when I was a child, there was a child of more than ten years old, out of curiosity, and once went down to a dry well, and suffocated in it, I grew up to know that generally this kind of ancient wells and cellars, there will be inert gas, if people venture to go down, it is very dangerous.

But when I looked closely, I found that there was something special about this ancient well - not only did it contain water, but the water was still rolling violently.

Probably not, if it was boiling water, it would definitely be steaming, but under the flashlight, we couldn't see a little heat.

While we were all engrossed in looking into the well, we suddenly heard the female interpreter exclaim, "Look, the water is turning red." ”

The water turned red? Why didn't I find out? I quickly rubbed my eyes and looked carefully into the well, but I still didn't find the slightest sign of the well water turning red.

What's going on, I'm not color blind, if it turns red, how can I not see it?

Not only me, but except for the female translator, no one felt that the well water had turned red. It's so weird!

Surprised and confused when she learned that none of us had noticed the water turn red, the female translator closed her eyes and tried to calm herself before opening them and looking into the well.

"Oh my God, now the well water is blood red, have you noticed it now?"

When the female translator said this, we were even more surprised, and we all quickly stretched our necks again, and under the strong light of the flashlight, we opened our eyes to see the well water in this ancient well - no matter how we looked, we couldn't see a trace of red in the well water, what a hell! Is the female translator having a problem with her eyesight, or is she suffering from something?

"I've always had normal eyesight, what the hell is going on, I can see the well water turn blood red, but you can't see it?" The female translator looked frightened.

We all looked at each other, and we don't know why this weird phenomenon is happening.

Crazy Six suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly walked around behind the female translator, and took a closer look at the female translator's back, for some reason, his face immediately became extremely stern, and hurriedly said to us: "The situation is very dangerous now, we can't stay for a moment, we have to leave immediately." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

Although we didn't know what was going on, when we saw the reaction of Crazy Six Straighten up in our hearts, we all followed Crazy Six and hurriedly left this ancient well.

Only Xiao Lei seemed to be unwilling, still standing at the mouth of the well, wanting to observe for a while, until Hongmei went over to pull him, he reluctantly withdrew with us.

Along the way, the madman Liu didn't say a word, just walked away with a wooden face, looking at his expression, we didn't dare to ask more, just followed closely behind.

After arriving at the hotel, Crazy Six said, "Let's all go to a Japanese friend's room, I have something very important to say." ”

After entering the house, the Japanese scholars and Tanaka hurriedly gathered around and chattered with the female translator for a while in Japanese, probably talking about the situation of this operation, but we couldn't understand a word. However, I could see the surprised expressions on the faces of these old Japanese men.

The madman six sat in his chair, dazed, as if he had fallen into some kind of contemplation.

After about ten minutes, the room gradually quieted down, and everyone focused on Crazy Six.

"Sir, what is going on with all these things you encountered today? I think you seem to know the mystery, what the hell is going on, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble your old man to tell us. ”

My cousin cautiously reminded the madman six who was still in a trance, and when he heard his cousin ask, the madman six seemed to come to his senses, took the tea handed over by Hongmei, and drank a few sips, I noticed that his hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, his lips squirmed, and he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't speak.

After a full minute or two, the madman Liu's love seemed to be a little more stable, he coughed dryly twice, cleared his throat, and then spit out a sentence leisurely: "The most terrible thing today is not the monster that ran out of the well, but the well water in the well."

Water in the well? What's so terrible about the water in the well? How could it be scarier than that monster? It must have been because Crazy Six didn't see the monster clearly that he said that.

Although I muttered in my heart, I didn't say it, because it might seem impolite to say it directly, but my cousin, with his usual gentleness and calmness, gently asked, "Huh?" Is the well water in that ancient well really as terrible as you say? But it seems to us that the well water is no different from ordinary well water except that it rolls as if it was boiling. ”

After listening to his cousin's words, the madman sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "Alas, you don't know, the well water in that well is the 'water of the underworld' mentioned in the ancient book."

"'The water of the underworld'? Are you sure? Could it be that the 'water of the underworld' mentioned in the ancient books really exists? I thought it was apocryphal, but if that's what you say, it's amazing."

What exactly is "water from the underworld", and why is my cousin so surprised when he hears this name?

Regarding his cousin's question, Crazy Six didn't explain much, just nodded silently.

At this moment, except for my cousin and the madman six, all of us were confused - what the hell is the "water of the underworld"? Uncle Cousin and Maniac Six would have such a reaction.

My cousin's next explanation made us suddenly realize, and at the same time, we were all extremely shocked - there is such a magical 'water of the earth' in the world?

It turns out that in an ancient book of the pre-Qin period, this kind of 'water of the underworld' was mentioned for the first time, and this ancient book was called "The Book of Souls", which was a book that recorded the myths and legends of ancient times.

It is mentioned in this book that there is a mountain called Moyin Mountain, and this Moyin Mountain is very special - the mountain is very steep, and the mountain is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and it is towering into the clouds, just like a big stone pillar standing in the mountains, but this "stone pillar" is big enough, and it takes more than ten days to circle around it.

What's even more strange is that the top of this stone pillar-like Moyin Mountain is a plain, and the soil on it is fertile, with a radius of dozens of miles.

Not only that, but there are people living on the plains on this hilltop. According to the locals, because the terrain of the mountain is so dangerous, the people below have never climbed it, and the people on the top of the mountain have never come down, so the people on the summit plain and the people below the mountain are completely isolated.

So how did the people at the bottom of the mountain know that the top of the mountain was inhabited? -- Every spring day, there is an earth-shattering shout from the top of the mountain, as if thousands of people are gathering together and shouting something.

Not only that, but on this day, from the top of the mountain, a basket tied by a long rope will descend, and there is a corpse in the basket, this corpse looks very scary, very much like the legendary imp of the underworld: its body is very similar to a person, but the skin of the whole body is green, especially the head, which is a triangle, and the mouth and eyes on the face are very similar to the mouth and eyes of a toad, which looks extremely terrifying.

For thousands of years, this strange thing has happened one day every spring.

So the people down the mountain guessed that this might be the sacrificial ritual of the people on the mountain, so what was the corpse in the basket? Is it their own kind, or are they raising a kind of monster or livestock?

Out of extreme curiosity, some people who are particularly brave want to climb up to the top of the mountain along this rope to see, but among these people, some fall down and die, some do not see people, death does not see the body, in short, no one can successfully go up and down, so the plain on the top of the mountain has become an eternal secret to the people below the mountain.

It wasn't until one year that a man named "Huang" finally succeeded in waiting for the summit, and three years later, he successfully returned to the bottom of the mountain, and through Guò Huang's narration, the people at the bottom of the mountain gradually understood the secrets of the mountaintop.

Why can't anyone else go up, but this Huang can go up? What did Huang see at the top of the mountain?

Huang's body shape is very characteristic - he is very thin, very light, but extremely powerful, especially his arms, which are longer than the average person, and these characteristics are extremely beneficial for climbing.

Because Huang's father was a medicine picker, he went up the mountain with his father to collect medicine from a very young age, which honed his extraordinary climbing skills.

At that time, many of the most rare herbs grew on the cliffs that were extremely difficult to climb, and many herb pickers often trained monkeys to do this kind of herbs in order to collect them.

But no matter how difficult the herbs were, Huang personally picked them, never used monkeys, and people gradually learned that Huang's climbing ability was more powerful than monkeys.

After deciding to go up to the top of the mountain, Huang climbed up the rope with him with him rations and a bundle of small wooden sticks, which were only the thickness of a thumb, but this was not ordinary wood, but was made of a special kind of wood, which was extremely hard and difficult to break.

In addition, Huang also brought a tough rope made of rattan.

When climbing, Huang Hui will stick a wooden stick into a crack in the stone while climbing, and then use one end of his rope to put on it, and the other end to tie it to his waist, forming a very important protective measure.

And when he was tired of climbing, he would use this wooden stick and rope to hang on the rock wall to rest.

Moreover, Huang does not always hold on to the rope to climb up, and when he can do without the help of the rope, he relies on his own climbing skills to climb up the rock wall.

It was with these successful strategies, coupled with his superhuman climbing ability and endurance, that he finally succeeded in reaching the top of the mountain. Saw an incomparably wonderful and eerie world.

When Huang didn't know that it had taken him several days and nights to finally climb to the top of the mountain, he was exhausted, and when he woke up, he found himself surrounded by a group of monsters, which were almost identical to the corpses in the baskets.

It turns out that these "people" on the plains all look like this.

Fortunately, these "people" chattered around Huang for a while, and did not hurt Huang, but carried Huang to their residence. Their dwellings also amazed Huang, because the dwellings of these "people" were neither ordinary houses nor caves, but caves - tunnels dug in the flat ground.

The series of things that happened next made Huang feel even more wonderful.
