Explore the cave again
Yulin hurriedly followed out of the hole, the newly promoted General Yunlu spread his wings to lead the way, the tiger girl was behind, a bird and a beast and a person accompanied before and after, and explored a cave at a fork in the road, but this time Yulin accepted the lesson of being chased by the giant python last time, prepared more torches and oil, and walked not eagerly, so along the way to see this cave in more real detail.
In the previous caves, Yulin they did not find anything abnormal, this time again came to the main cave where the thousand corpses fragrant flowers were, in addition to the stench of the dung pond that came to the face, there was no trace of poisonous bats on the rock wall of the top of the cave, it was expected that after being killed by the flying generals of the Yulin Army, there was no courage to return to the cave, and there were often eagle eagle flying patrol guards at the entrance of the cave, so they were already discouraged and fearful. The foul-smelling urinal underneath has no source of regeneration, and it is expected that it will soon decompose into dirt, and the stench will gradually disappear. It's just that since then, Yulin has to worry that the Thousand Corpse Fragrant Flower has lost its nourishing dung since then, and it is only afraid that it will not be conducive to growth.
So, Yulin ordered the tiger girl eagle to send orders to all birds and beasts, so he threw the leftover animal carcasses into the dung pond to nourish the fragrant flowers of thousands of corpses.
Speaking of which, Yulin thought that it was not necessary to make a rope ladder first, and put it at the stone gate, so that it was convenient for his subordinates to enter and exit.
Yulin was thinking when he suddenly heard the tiger girl shouting: "There seem to be white bones in that dung, take a torch and take a closer look!" ”
When Yulin heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to raise the torch to inspect, and saw that one or two thick white bones were exposed in the black dung, but they couldn't really be seen in the depths of the pool. Thanks to Yulin's preparations, he took out the rope, tied a stone at one end, Yulin used his usual stunt, the "meteor hammer" in the air twice, and threw it casually, the rope was like having eyes to wrap the exposed white bones tightly, Yulin slowly dragged the white bones over, and then raised the torch to look closely, and found that the white bones were actually like human leg bones, but the white bones had been corrupted and quite crispy, and they were broken into several pieces with only a little force, and Yulin judged that the bones of this person had been buried here for at least twenty or thirty years. It is expected that this person either strayed in or was captured by other beasts, or he came here with the intention of not being eaten by the python.
Seeing that this white bone was so corrupted in the feces, Yulin thought about the skeleton of the monk who was entangled in the skin and bones of the giant python, whether it was related to this person? Yulin didn't mention it in his heart, and first put down his thoughts, and dragged a few other bones over, but when he looked at it again, they were all skeletons of some birds and beasts, thinking that they were eaten by bats or excreted by giant pythons, and the remains of these birds and beasts also became the best fertilizer for this thousand corpse fragrant flowers.
Yulin out of the main cave, and saw two caves in succession, and did not find abnormality, just when the intention was interesting, walked into a cave with a slightly smaller entrance, and the terrain is even more oblique downward, although this cave is more rugged and narrow, but it is deeper and more tortuous and more humid.
As Yulin and the others went further and further, they felt that the dampness on the cave wall was more and more humid, and Yulin was overjoyed, and it was expected that this place must be the birthplace of the water source. Sure enough, after walking for less than half a pillar of incense, a small waterhole appeared in front of it! Yulin walked a few steps to the pool, only to see that the water quality of the pool was clear, and the bottom could not be seen quietly, the water was cool and luscious, and the three explorers couldn't help but drink a few sips, only to feel that the dryness was completely gone, and the whole body was comfortable. Yulin looked at the tiger girl and the eagle and smiled at each other.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion, and a fish suddenly jumped out of the deep pool, and the whole body of the fish was bright and white, and it was more than a foot. The fish jumped and dived into the deep water and was never seen again.
"There are fish in this pool!" Yulin is very strange, thinking carefully about the shape of the fish just now, it is very familiar! Thinking about it slowly, it turned out that I had seen such fish in the cool spring at the foot of the mountain, but the fish in the cool spring were much smaller and slightly darker in color.
Thinking about it this way, the fish in this pool and the small fish in the cool spring under the mountain are actually the same kind. So, this pool of water is connected to the cool spring under the mountain?! When Yulin thought of this, he couldn't help but be deeply impressed by the magic of nature!
Hu Niu suddenly saw that at the other end of the waterhole, there were many cracks in the rocks near the end of the rock wall, and countless rhizomes of different thicknesses grew from the cracks in the rocks.
Hu Niu sighed: "This thousand corpse fragrant flowers and fruits are immortal species, it took us a lot of time to walk from the big main cave to this pool, and its rhizome actually crossed from that stone cave to this hole, and the hard rock was also broken out of countless gaps, its vitality is really powerful, it is by no means comparable to ordinary plants!" ”
Yulin also claimed that it was, and when everyone saw that the water source had been found, they stopped exploring, found a way back to the cave, and still climbed to the top of the cliff and descended from the front peak. Yulin Fu turned to the stone statue of Lu Xianshi again, and the cave door behind the statue was checked. I saw that the stone door at the entrance of the cave was almost integrated with the surrounding stone walls, but as long as you looked closely, you could also see that there were ring-shaped fine lines on the stone wall, which were slightly lighter in color due to fresh cutting, so Yulin cut out the black soil mixed with moss and humus at other gaps in the stone wall and smeared it on the cracks of the stone gate to cover the new marks. After Yulin finished camouflage, he saw that the stone gate was already integrated with the surrounding stone walls, and it was difficult to distinguish them.
All the work is properly prepared, Yulin has a little pleasure in his heart, so he took the tiger girl down the mountain with great interest, and deliberately detoured to the small pool next to the cool spring halfway, and looked at the small fish in the pool, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the big fish in the waterhole in the cliff cave and the small fish in this pool were indeed the same kind of fish, which once again determined that Yulin about the two waterholes must be connected underground.
When the sun set over Hengshan, Yulin finally descended Hengshan, turned a forest, and the stone road on the street was about to look again, and suddenly, the black horse in Sahuan'er's trotting suddenly stopped, shaking the unsuspecting Yulin so much that he almost fell off the horse. When Yulin looked down, he saw a man in ragged clothes lying in the middle of the road.
