Chapter Eighty-Six: The Ghost Gate of the Underworld

As he was talking, Ruan Liang threw us two breads and two tea eggs.

I took it and looked at it, "Why is there no milk?" ”

Ruan Liang laughed, "Return the milk, I'll take it with you as the lead cow!" That little milk was already gone! As he spoke, he threw the other bread in his hand to the guy next to him, turned to me and said, "Eat quickly, in two days, this will not be eaten!" ”

I nodded, "When are you leaving?" ”

Ruan Liang looked at his watch, "Twenty minutes later, get the equipment in order!" With that, he left.

Anado and I sat down on the spot, and I asked, "What about my second uncle?" ”

Anador pointed to Yuan An's tent and did not speak.

I took a bite of bread and asked Anaduo, "Sister, what do you mean by the ghost gate of the underworld?" ”

Anaduo looked at the looming mountain peaks in the distance in a daze, and said without looking back: "This matter, you'd better ask your second uncle!" ”

"My second uncle?" I shook my head, "In my childhood memory, my second uncle has been busy, although I have seen him a lot and spent a lot of time together, but I always feel that the two of us rarely have the opportunity to sit down and communicate. ”

"Actually, your second uncle still cares about you very much." Anador said, turning her head to look at me.

I nodded, "I know, but his concern always gives me one, one," I thought for a while, and suddenly remembered a word, "God mystery, yes, yes, God mysterious, his concern is to give me this feeling!" ”

Anador chuckled, "Mysterious? That's a pretty fresh description. ”

"So," I smiled at Anadot, "sometimes, the second uncle can't count on it, so you have to count on the second aunt!" ”

Anado smacked me, her face flushing a little again, "Phew, nonsense! But from her shy smile, I could still feel that she was very useful. It seems that she really likes my second uncle!

Anado thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's just a legend......"

It is said that a long, long time ago, there was an old hunter in the stockade...... Anado's opening phrase "a long, long time ago" suddenly made me feel that this really looked like a legend.

The old hunter found a strange leopard when he went into the mountains to hunt, although the leopard in the mountains is not so common, but it is not so unusual, but the old hunter found that this leopard is different, not black spots on its body but a pattern in the shape of an eye.

The old hunter had never heard of such a thing, let alone seen such a thing, so he persistently tracked the leopard all the way to the depths of the mountain, he really went deep into the hinterland of the mountain, so deep that even he, an old hunter who had been shuttling in the mountains for decades, did not know where he had been!

There, the old hunter stumbled upon an ancient city hidden in the jungle, with all kinds of huge statues and buildings. What is particularly striking is that at the rear of the ancient city, there is a huge closed stone gate. The ancient city doesn't look like it's deserted, but weirdly, there's no one in it!

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the old hunter was alert, so he did not rush into the ancient city, but hid in the woods beside it, intending to wait until dawn to find another way out. In order not to reveal his position, the old hunter did not even light a fire, so he found a branch and slept down.

But he did not expect that in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a sound and firelight, the sound was very noisy, and the old hunter felt as if he was in a noisy market.

The old hunter was in a trance, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly woke up, and immediately sat up to take a look, and found that the stone gate behind the ancient city had opened at some point, and a bright fire shone out from inside.

The old hunter carefully hid behind the branches of the big tree, and looked through the gap into the ancient city, only to find that in such a noisy environment, there was still no one in sight. This situation, where he only heard his voice and did not see his person, made the hairs on the old hunter's body stand on end. One word slowly came to his mind, and that was "ghost". The old hunter couldn't help but think about it, could it be that he had seen a ghost.

The old hunter felt that what he saw must be a city in the Netherworld, and there were no living people here!

At this moment, the old hunter was horrified to see that behind the ghost town, in the light of the fire of the huge stone gate, a shadow was slowly reflected, and the shadow was getting bigger and bigger, so big that it was already higher than the big tree next to it. The old hunter was so frightened that he was almost out of breath! The old hunter wanted to discern the direction, but when he looked around, he found that he didn't know when, and there was a thick fog in the mountains, and all the peaks, moons, and stars were all hidden in the fog, and where could he still see the direction.

The old hunter didn't have time to think about it at all, he looked in a direction far away from the ancient city and ran down, I don't know how long he ran, he suddenly felt a slip under his feet, and with an "oops" sound he rolled down the hill.

The old hunter didn't know how long he had been rolling, and the whole person was thrown into pieces, just when he felt that he was about to fall apart, suddenly the mountain slowed down, and the hunter immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his breath, the surroundings were suddenly cold, and the whole person was wrapped in water.

The old hunter knew that he had fallen into the water, and swam desperately to the shore, but the current was very strong, and he had just rolled down the hill, and his hands were a little weak. Before he could reach the shore, he accidentally hit a rock, and the old hunter fainted.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on the edge of a small river at the bottom of the mountain. By this time it was already dawn, and someone found him, and the people in the nearby stockade knew him as an experienced old hunter, and sent him back to their homes.

As a result, the old hunter never fell ill, and the family asked a nearby Miao doctor for treatment, but it was also ineffective. Seeing that his physical condition was deteriorating, his family was anxious.

At this time, a Lang Zhong who went to the square came, and the family had the mentality of trying it out, so they invited Lang Zhong to the house. After Lang Zhong asked the details clearly, he couldn't help frowning.

After that, Lang Zhong invited the old hunter's family out, leaving him and the old hunter in the house. Everyone waited anxiously outside the house, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Langzhong. Just when everyone was puzzled, they suddenly heard a frightened cry from the house.

Everyone immediately rushed into the house to take a look, and found that the old hunter had sat up, his head covered with sweat, and he was panting heavily. Lang Zhong sat on the edge of the bed, his face calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

The family was about to question Lang Zhong, but the old hunter waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out, but there was no way, everyone retreated again.

After a while, Lang Zhong came out and told the people outside the house, "The patient is fine, and he will be cured after a few days of rest." ”

Everyone was skeptical, and the old hunter's son told Lang Zhong that he was worried about his father's relapse in the past few days, so he hoped that Lang Zhong would stay a few more days and be hospitable. Lang Zhong actually understood in his heart that they were worried that they would collect the money, regardless of the patient's life or death, and leave first, and there would be no way to find reason at that time. Lang Zhong didn't say anything, nor did he refute it, so he nodded in agreement.

It is also miraculous to say that although the old hunter did not take medicine, his body recovered quickly, and within three days, he was as strong as ever. When everyone went to thank Lang Zhong, they found that they didn't know when the house was empty. Just when people were wondering, someone found a few pieces of papyrus on the table, with some handwriting on them, which looked like random writing with nothing to do. It is nothing more than some poems and prescriptions, in which people find such two sentences, which seem to have a deep meaning: the vine gate is covered by fog and clouds, and the ghost door of the bloody underworld is opened.

Everyone looked left and right, but they couldn't see the meaning, so someone took the paper to the old hunter. Unexpectedly, the old hunter trembled when he saw it, and under the questioning of everyone, the old hunter told his experience. Everyone was stunned.

However, the old hunter didn't say it all, for example, what Lang Zhong said to him in the house, no matter how everyone asked, the old hunter just kept silent, and until he died, he didn't talk about it again, and the old hunter brought this secret to the grave forever.

So, since then, the people in the nearby village have known that in the deepest part of the mountain, there is such a dark city, and there is a ghost gate in it. The old hunter died, and no one ever saw the so-called ancient city and ghost gate again, and people could no longer figure out the truth of the matter, so later, people completely regarded this incident as a legend.

After listening to Anado's story, combined with our experience during this time, I think this matter is quite credible, I'm afraid that there is really a hidden underworld city in this mountain. And that Lang Zhong must be a master, and he is even likely to be a fellow believer. Because of the inverted bucket stepping on the plate, the most often dressed up is Lang Zhong and the gentleman who tells the fortune.

I looked around, and now there is fog all around, which is exactly in line with the two sentences that "the vine gate is covered by fog and clouds", maybe we can really see the legendary underworld this time, thinking of this, my heart is full of anticipation, but I can't help but become nervous and worried.

After eating something, we set out again. The second uncle and Yuan An walked in front to guide the direction, although I don't know what their basis is, but I don't doubt its correctness, I believe that if these two people cooperate and still find the wrong route, I'm afraid no one in this world can find it.

Our group made our way upstream along the river, and on the way, we passed by the place where the accident happened yesterday, and by this time the bodies that had been left there had disappeared.
