Since there are tributaries, there is no need to throw gourds on the opposite bank, and when the water is gentle, Huang Yunqiu can go directly to it.

After Liu Cheng said a few words to us, he went upstream first, and we followed upstream, Zhao Jingshu pondered for a while before asking me, "That Taoist is your master?" ”

I nodded in acknowledgement.

Zhao Jingshu didn't seem to have bypassed this bend yet, and after walking for a while, he saw Liu Cheng waiting for us upstream, and when he was about to arrive, Zhao Jingshu said, "No wonder he asked me to find you that day, you are so powerful, your master must be even more powerful." ”

"That's nature." I replied casually and sped up to Yoo Seung's side.

It's not surprising that Liu Cheng appeared here, he is an idle person, and he must have only chased the woman who rode the white horse here, Liu Cheng and I tacitly agreed, and didn't say much, Liu Cheng glanced at me, "I heard what you did at the Ma family, and the stinky boy is getting more and more majestic now." ”

I said, "You taught it." ”

After that, when Zhao Jingshu and them came over, Zhao Jingshu and Huang Yunqiu both saluted Liu Cheng, and then we followed Liu Cheng to cross the river together, the water here is not deep, Huang Yunqiu stepped directly on the water and crossed the river, and Zhao Jingshu and I were grabbed by Liu Cheng and crossed the river safely.

Connecting the two rivers, to the foot of the opposite mountain, go around to the other side of the mountain, see a steep mountain road, but no one walks all the year round, the mountain road has been hidden in the grass and trees next to it, plus there are many pine trees on this mountain, the pine leaves do not fall all the year round, and it looks a little gloomy to cover the sky and the sun.

Several people went up the mountain road together, and Zhao Jingshu said, "This road should have been opened up by those bandits back then, after the bandits disappeared, there was a haunted legend here, and no one dared to go up this mountain, so it was abandoned like this." ”

Zhao Jingshu was distracted from speaking, stepped forward on a pile of grass and trees, only to hear a snap, the grass and trees under her feet suddenly collapsed, Zhao Jingshu leaned forward, fortunately, Liu Chengyan quickly grabbed Zhao Jingshu's arm, and lifted Zhao Jingshu alive, and then looked at where she stepped on, there was a big hole, and the hole was planted with sharpened wood.

"Be careful, the bandits will set up traps along the road to prevent strangers from going up the mountain or robbing passers-by. ”

A few of us nodded repeatedly, and we stopped talking all the way, until we reached the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain is an empty flat land, there are a lot of ruins and broken walls on the flat land, this is the trace of the bandits' life in the past, fortunately, this area is not large, you can see the whole picture at a glance, Huang Yunqiu walked to the side and looked down, below is the most turbulent place of the Sancha River, at the very edge of this flat land, there is a square hole with a length and width of about two meters, the hole goes straight to the mountain, this should be the place where those bandits hoard food and gold and silver treasures.

The purpose of our coming is to enter this cave, Huang Yunqiu looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "The yin qi in the cave is very heavy, and there may be evil spirits. ”

Zhao Jingshu immediately took out the flashlight she was carrying in her bag and gave one to each of us, Liu took the flashlight and said, "You go behind me." ”

Liu Cheng said that the first step into the hole, this hole is different from the rural cellar, the cellar is straight up and down, there is a stone ladder dug out of this hole, inclined at a certain angle into the mountain, we carefully follow Liu Cheng all the way down, after entering the hole and turning a corner, there is no outside light, there is a stone gate set up at the corner, and the stone gate is engraved with the words 'Huangquan Road' above.

You don't have to think about it to know that this was set up by bandits in order to scare those who entered the cave, and at that time, the people's wisdom was not opened, and they believed in these very much, and they were directly scared back when they saw the words of Huangquan Road.

This stone door is hidden, there is a strange smell wafting from it, this smell is not the smell of corpses, but I always think where I have smelled, a few people standing in front of the stone door are hesitating, suddenly saw a red and black reptile crawling out of the stone door, enough to be as long as chopsticks, looking quite terrible, the smell is emitted from this insect.

When Zhao Jingshu and Huang Yunqiu saw this reptile, they unconsciously took a few steps back, and Zhao Jingshu even stretched out her hand and pointed at the reptile and said in horror, "There are centipedes." ”

I've seen this kind of insect in my hometown before, it looks like a centipede, but it's not a centipede, and it's much shorter than a centipede's feet, but it's the first time I've seen such a big one.

Liu Cheng also glanced at it a few times and said, "This is not a centipede, it is Ma Lu, I like to live in a humid area, it is non-toxic, don't be afraid." However, Malu is a social thing, and there should be quite a few behind this door. ”

Huang Yunqiu's courage was not small, but when he heard that there were still a lot of these things behind the door, he couldn't help frowning.

Liu Cheng said and put the flashlight under his armpit, took out a piece of rune paper and a rag, lit it and pushed open the stone door, this stone door pushed the door, the dense reptiles inside instantly made our scalp numb, the space inside is much larger than the outside, it is a small stone room, and the ground is full of this kind of thousand-legged horses.

I even played with earthworms in my hometown, but when I saw so many Ma Lu, I only felt that my hair was upside down, Liu Cheng said, "So many Ma Lu should have been collected by the bandits at the beginning and put here, and it took so many years of reproduction to produce so much, and its purpose is to scare off outsiders, you follow me, don't be climbed by them." ”

We have all given birth to retreat, but Liu Cheng insisted on moving forward, we can only follow, Liu Cheng carried the burning cloth all the way forward quickly, and the reptiles on the ground immediately rushed to both sides when they saw the fire.

Huang Yunqiu and Zhao Jingshu walked forward almost with their eyes closed, not daring to look at these reptiles, I looked down and saw that there were a lot of Ma Lu corpses that had been trampled to death on the ground, and the smell came from the corpses, and said, "There are still fresh Ma Lu corpses on the ground, someone came just now, it doesn't look like a person stepped on it." ”

"It could be the woman on horseback." Liu Cheng replied, and then smiled, "It seems that she is also a bold person, who dares to walk over directly on the horse, I don't know what kind of person she is." ”

Liu Cheng said, we walked a few steps forward, and when we reached the second door, the cloth strip in Liu Cheng's hand had just been burned, and the horses did not see the fire, and began to crawl around again.

This second door is not a stone door, but a wooden door, affected by moisture, this wooden door has been a little broken, but you can't see the situation inside, see the rear Ma Lu crawling around, Liu Cheng didn't look much, pushed open the wooden door and walked in, and then closed the wooden door after we came in, standing behind the wooden door and looking at it with a flashlight.

I said, "When I came in just now, I saw the words 'Offering Pavilion' above the wooden door, this is not the place where they kept their gold and silver treasures, right?" ”

The offering pavilion of the real Yin Si is the place where the yin and yang paper and other items are stored.

As soon as I finished speaking, Zhao Jingshu suddenly covered her mouth and retched, Huang Yunqiu also looked ahead with a shocked face, I was blocked by Liu Cheng because I was relatively small, I didn't know what was in front of me, so I didn't turn around and looked forward, and I was instantly stunned.

There were dozens of wooden stakes in the ground in front of them, and on each stake were a corpse, old and young, male and female, even after all this time, these corpses were still not decomposed, and they were lifelike.

The male corpses were scarred, and many of them were incomplete. And those female corpses, with no clothes on their bodies, died without knowing what kind of **** they received before they died. Only the bodies of the children were still intact, only there was a large hole in the chest, which was a one-hit kill.

I used to see ghosts, but now I see corpses, and they are corpses in a terrible state, and I feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Cheng said, "Most of the bandits' economic sources are burning, killing and looting, and passers-by or some people who have no power to resist are wealth to them, so what is offered in this offering pavilion is the innocent people they kill after robbing their property." ”

"It's too much." I looked at it with hatred, I used to hear others say how cruel and ruthless the stick was, I didn't believe it, because I had the impression that the image of bandits should be more inclined to the image of those Liangshan heroes.

Liu Cheng said, "Go forward, don't stare at them, otherwise there will be big trouble." ”
