Jiulong Cave is a well-known strange place in several surrounding villages. Its winter is warm and summer is cool, the spring water gushing out of the cold pool at the entrance of the cave is refreshing in summer, sweet and delicious, sweet as spring in winter, warm people's hearts, the most miraculous.

There is an old tree at the entrance of the cave, more than ten meters high, two or three meters thick, I don't know how many years it has been towering, the branches stretch out in all directions crookedly, strange appearance, such as demons dancing. Its canopy-like canopy is large and majestic, and it is verdant and lush throughout the year, spreading out to cover the entire entrance to the cave.

When the local villagers are busy with farming in July and August, they can't stand the scorching heat at noon, so they will go to sit under the old tree at the entrance of the cave for a while, and in less than two minutes, they will be cold and refreshed. If you put a watermelon in the stream water, it will take less than five minutes, and it will be like taking it out of cold storage, which is refreshing and sweet, and it is the most delicious. There are occasionally some strange small creatures mixed in the stream, like fish and insects, red, green, green, and colorful, all of which are not found in the river. Sometimes in the cold pool at the entrance of the cave, you can see the palm-sized wild soft-shelled turtle frolicking and swimming in it, and the slender small snake with the thickness of chopsticks shaking its head and dragging its tail in it, which is also in different postures, and cannot be seen outside at all. Just as the ecological chain of Jiulong Cave is isolated from the world and self-contained.

I don't know what the reason is, and I don't know when it began, from the rules handed down from generation to generation, the local villagers are extremely in awe of the Nine Dragon Cave, and they have always been respectful of these strange and strange creatures, for fear of being contaminated with some unclean things.

The river outside has long been frozen, but the pool water flowing out of the mouth of the cave is sparkling and flowing like a jade belt, not only is it not frozen, but the water surface is steaming up a misty white mist.

Zhang Dashan walked forward in the heat wave and stopped under the old tree at the entrance of the cave. I don't know what kind of tree this strange tree is, even if it snows heavily for more than ten days, it is still verdant and lush, and its vitality is extremely vigorous. The trunk of the tree is tied with red ribbons, and the small letters on the head of the rope are written on them, which are the wishes of the surrounding villagers. Under the tree are some incense candles, melons and fruits, three sacrifices and other sacrifices.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, the heat wave came to his face, as if he was standing next to the fiercely burning fire, Zhang Dashan was feverish, so he simply took off his coat and wore a close-fitting vest into the Nine Dragons Cave.

Under the cliff wall at the entrance of the cave is a cold pool, the water quality is crystal clear, and all kinds of peculiar small creatures can be vaguely seen swimming in it, but close to the inner side of the cold pool under the cliff, it is as deep as the entrance of the netherworld, and even the pool water above is as deep as sprinkled with ink, so that people feel cold at a glance, and dare not see more at all, and the spring water in the cave is from this pool.

As soon as I entered the cave, I don't know if it was because of the cold pool, but the temperature dropped suddenly, and it was not so hot. Although Zhang Dashan's kung fu has reached the supreme realm of martial arts that is not bad, and he can see the night as day, but under the habit of many years, he still lit a torch and walked deep into the cave. The torches were blazing, Zhang Dashan's face was flickering brightly and darkly, and the scenery inside the cave was also in full view.

The strange rocks in the cave are craggy, like a group of demons dancing wildly, like a hundred demons. Some are fierce and sinister, like a giant dragon probe, some stand grandiosely, like a giant sword across the sky, some are strangely shaped, like thousands of heads galloping, some strange peaks protrude, like the head of evil ghosts, some stand high-spirited, like a giant whip. And so on, and so on. If you weren't a bold character, I'm afraid you'd be scared and staggered away.

Zhang Dashan held the torch in one arm, unfolded his body in the hole, galloping, and the tongue of fire swallowed violently, illuminating the place he passed. Sometimes the narrow place is only two feet, only one person can crawl, sometimes there are more than ten zhang when the width is enough, enough for thousands of people to walk rampantly, the treacherous place, only one foot can be under the foot, below is the abyss, when it is wide, it is like a broad avenue. It's really a thousand twists and turns, and it's hard to smooth out.

After running wildly for nearly two hours, I am afraid that after going for more than ten miles, Zhang Dashan finally saw the end of the cave, but when he turned a corner and walked to the end, he suddenly found that the forks were like branches branching out of the main trunk, winding at the end. The forks are all of average size, and there doesn't seem to be any difference, Zhang Dashan counted them, and there were as many as twelve.

"Could it be that this line of vitality lies in these twelve forks?" Zhang Dashan frowned, and after a while, he took another step and chose the leftmost fork and rushed away. The torches snaggled like fiery snakes through the deep cave, and three hours later, Zhang Dashan slammed out of the cave and rushed into the cave next to him.

Next, Zhang Dashan investigated cave after cave in order from left to right, and time flew by. Soon, a day passed, and Zhang Dashan explored the seventh cave. Time passed bit by bit, and when Zhang Dashan explored all the caves, two days and one night had passed, and the night came again.

"These twelve caves are complex, but I can explore them alone, let alone the police. Where is the vitality that the master said?" Zhang Dashan stood at the end of the main cave, his brows furrowed deeply, and he began to ponder. Half an hour later, he suddenly turned and walked back. This time, he slowed down a lot and began to investigate. Six hours later, Zhang Dashan returned to the cold pool at the entrance of the cave.

"This pool of water is very strange, and the end next to the stone wall is even more black, and I don't know where it leads. Zhang Dashan looked at the ink-like pool under the cliff, he didn't know how deep it was, he didn't know what was in the pool, and he didn't know where the water leads, and he felt a little crazy for no reason.

When the martial arts reach the realm of heaven and man, the spirit is integrated into the surrounding environment all the time, always sympathetic with nature, in harmony with heaven and earth, and the spirit into the void. This is what Sun Lutang said that although he does not see or hear, he can perceive and avoid it, that is, the realm of the autumn wind and the cicada are awakened.

For a martial artist like Zhang Dashan who has reached the supreme realm of martial arts, this kind of induction in the dark is rarely wrong.

At this moment, looking at the cold pool as black as ink, Zhang Dashan only felt like a thorn in his back, and a chill suddenly surged from the tail vertebrae, and he suddenly crawled all over.

"In the Nine Dragons Cave, there is a line between life and death. This cold pool is so strange, the glimmer of life that the master said must be here!" Zhang Dashan thought in his heart.

"That's it, that's it, anyway, it's just a death, stretching out the head with a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, it's better to risk your life to fight, maybe there is still life!" Zhang Dashan turned his heart sideways and paid attention to it in an instant.

Zhang Dashan untied the big bag under him, took out the dry food he carried with him, first ate enough, nourished his spirit, and then set up six or seven torches on the edge of the cold pool, the torches burned violently, and the pitch-black pool water was reflected like black oil, black and sparkling.

After eating, Zhang Dashan first closed his eyes and recuperated, adjusted his spirit, physical strength, and state to a peak, and then played a boxing method next to the pool, but this time he played Tai Chi. However, his Tai Chi is very different from the soft Tai Chi played by those old grandfathers and old ladies in the park. Although every punch and kick came out very slowly, it was like pushing a mountain, and when the punch and kick were hit, there was a crisp explosion sound, which was extremely fierce.

After the punch, Zhang Dashan's whole body was full of blood, his spirit was high, and the various organs in his body were also adjusted to the best state, at this moment, it can be said that Zhang Dashan was the most peak and powerful moment in his life.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Zhang Dashan crossed an arc in the air with his legs, put his arms together, and threw himself directly into the dark cold pool like a javelin.
