Chapter 104: Revisiting the Cold Water Cave

Gua Ge's words reminded me of the hundreds of coffins in the Lengshui Cave, if the Lengshui Cave was the entrance to the Hongcun Underground Palace, or a part of the Underground Palace, then it seemed understandable that it became a coffin stop.

The dungeon does not grow even moss, there is no life, and the corpse can not rot if it is placed there.

The question is, is it really just to put the corpse there just to preserve it, like the purpose of making a dry corpse or a non-decomposing wet corpse?

I had a big doubt in my mind, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple.

"Well, let's get ready, and we'll go into the cold water cave in a week." Miao Miao pondered for a moment and said suddenly.

Brother Gua and the leather-clad guest glanced at each other and nodded.

"Why a week later?" I'm weird, to talk about preparation, the last time they explored the Onizuka, they had already prepared once, and now I want to find that kid early.

He was the beginning of a series of tricks in Hongcun, and it would be great if he could be found to put an end to all this mess; I really don't want to live this kind of scared life anymore, I just want to live a quiet ordinary life.

But Miao Miao only said one word, and I shut up, and she said, "Three days later, it will be the night of the full moon, and the yin qi will be particularly strong in the next week." ”

I'm speechless, the cold water cave and the underground palace are already obscure, if you run into a full moon night, God knows what will happen to those dirty things, so avoid the days before and after the full moon.

"Ah Chun, you should also prepare, and bring the colorful eagle with you when the time comes." Miao Miao said to me.

I nodded, the colorful eagle has grown its first colorful feathers, and it has grown half a circle in size in the past few days, and its appetite has increased a lot, and it used to be able to deal with a mutant corpse, but now it will only be more powerful, and it is right to take it.

After that, Miao Miao and the leather clothes left one after another after chatting a few words, saying that they were going to prepare some things.

I went back to the shop, and the next two days were quiet, and the old well was back in water, still causing a slight vibration.

In addition, the big belly and the big bald head brought a group of people from nowhere, there were about twenty of them, and they were still stationed in the village, but it was obvious that they were very nervous, and the whole camp was brightly lit at night, and there were constantly people patrolling back and forth, and there were five or six big black wolf dogs inside, and they were heavily guarded.

However, on the night of the full moon, something happened to them.

At midnight I heard several screams coming from that direction, followed by the sound of people yelling and barking, which lasted for a long time before it calmed down.

The next day, as soon as it was dark, I saw through the crack in the door that the big bald head was hauling five or six of his men in tow to the outside of the village with five or six things wrapped in body bags, and the smell of blood lingered inside.

Absolutely dead!

My first reaction was that it was dry, it was not only invisible, but also invulnerable on a full moon night, and I am afraid that only it could have such great lethality.

And at the end of the night, the Tufuzi could see some clues without firing a shot, or they didn't see the invisible human face from beginning to end.

……

Soon, the time passed to a week after Miao Miao's agreement.

Before leaving, I passed the news with the leather coat and them, and early in the morning we held the colorful eagle and rushed to the Nanxi River in the south of the village with night pearls, waterproof flashlights, clothes and other sundries.

When they arrived, they found that everyone had arrived, and they had not yet gotten two slender boats, one of which was also equipped with gasoline propellers, and each of them had something on it.

As soon as Miao Miao saw me, she beckoned me to get on the boat, and stuffed me with a black, red, black, and red pill with a fishy smell for me to eat.

I wondered, so I asked, "What is this?" ”

Miao Miao shook her head, obviously not going to tell me, and said, "Just eat it, this thing can cover up the body odor, in case you run into a ghost-faced mouse, it will be useful." ”

I nodded, put the red pill in my mouth, took a sip of the water from the Nanxi River, and swallowed it together; Suddenly, a fishy smell rushed to my head, and I almost didn't vomit.

"Do you want me to tell you what it is?" At this time, Brother Gua asked with a wicked smile on his face.

"No, you don't!"

I've learned smart, this thing is obviously not a pleasant thing, and I'm afraid I'll throw up when I say it. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be confused.

"That's good." Miao Miao's eyes bent, and she was very satisfied with my answer.

I rolled my eyes.

……

Then we said a few more words, and the leatherman started the boat engine, and drove the small boat to drag two boats and one boat straight up the cold water stream.

More than an hour later, we arrived at the cold water pool in front of the cold water hole, and the leather-clad man had already extinguished and pushed forward some distance away, and the two of them slid in little by little with their oars, and the gestures were very gentle.

I was a little nervous, this was the place where the ghost ray was lurking, and Chen Jiutong once tried to hunt it, but in the end failed.

The ghost ray is very large, and it is covered with scales, and it is very difficult to deal with, and if it suddenly escapes and attacks, it can overturn our two small boats with a flick of its tail.

But to my relief, I waited until the boat in front of me was close to the cold water hole, and there was still no movement underwater. Ghost rays don't seem to be there, or have no interest in us living people.

When I was close to the entrance of the cave, I couldn't help but look up at the two rows of characters at the entrance of the Lengshui Cave, which I found when I came with Chen Jiu last time, and there was one word I recognized, it was a spring character, and the others were not recognized. So she pointed there and asked Miao Miao, she even knew Sanskrit, and Chinese characters were naturally not a problem.

Miao Miao glanced at it and said: "What is written above is that the dark spring is in the shade, and the living should be cautious." ”

"Stygian Spring?!"

I was taken aback, where can the word "underworld" be named? And the literal meaning is clearly a warning.

"The font has the characteristics of the late Ming Dynasty, and it looks like it has been more than 300 years." Miao Miao said again.

My heart suddenly struck, according to Miao Miao's words, there was a person who carved these two lines of warning here more than 300 years ago, so did that person go inside? If he went in, what happened to him after he went in to make him write the word "Stygian Spring"?

The most important thing is, is there any connection between that person and the hundreds of coffins inside?

Miao Miao saw that I seemed to have doubts, so she said, "Don't worry, the Stygian Spring usually refers to an underground river, which doesn't mean anything." ”

I nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

After the boat entered the cold water hole, the speed was still not slow, and the frequency of rowing was very fast, but the sound made was very small.

It didn't take long for the boat to arrive at the coffin in the cold water cave, and I looked around with a strong flashlight, although I had been here before and had been prepared, but when I saw this dense coffin, I still felt hairy in my heart.

"What a coffin." Miao Miao looked at these coffins and was slightly surprised.

I couldn't help but ask her, "What are these coffins for?" ”

Miao Miao shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I didn't smell the smell of rotting bones, which means that the corpses in the coffin are not decomposed." ”

I nodded, and then I thought of the coffin keeper spirit, and when I heard its name, it seemed to be a kind of spiritual thing that had been guarding here, so I asked Miao Miao what the coffin keeper spirit was.

Miao Miao smiled and said: "The coffin place has been obscure for many years, and some things will be born and raised over time, but since the coffin guard spirit is not hostile to you, the existence of the coffin here should not be a bad thing for Hongcun." ”

"What kind of logic is this?" I was confused, I didn't understand at all.

"That's understandable." At this time, Gua Ge interjected and said: "The coffin guard is actually adhering to the obsession of these hundreds of coffins, and it is not hostile to you, which means that the existence of these coffins is also not a threat to you." ”

I nodded and understood, this is the second time I have heard the word obsession, the first time was when Uncle Chai came back to me because of his obsession, and Miao Miao also said that Uncle Chai came back to me because he was unwilling to be obsessed.

……

As we spoke, the boat had passed through the coffin and continued deeper, the cold water hole seemed endless, and after more than an hour, it was still bottomless, the only change was that the waterways on both sides had narrowed a little.

During this period, Gua Ge also measured the depth of the water with a stone tied with cotton thread, and found that the water here was still several feet deep.

It looked like I walked for another half hour.

Suddenly...... In front of me the light of my flashlight, a black shadow appeared under the water, mixed with dense red dots, rushing towards our boat, very fast, and a wave of ripples on the surface of the water.

I was so shocked that I almost screamed.

Miao Miao hurriedly covered my mouth and said in my ear in a very low voice: "Don't make a sound, it's a ghost-faced mouse!" ”
