Chapter 30: The Vanishing Cave

"Is this all right?" Zhao Xuan was a little surprised: "Isn't this what they are responsible for?" Just threw it at us? ”

"Normally, there are only about 20 people in the entire bureau who are engaged in field work, and there is no need to fight for merit, since there are people, what are you going to do with changing people. But ......" Zhang Yuan said embarrassedly: "My uncle told Song Shaofeng that I was a mess, and I was considered to be working overtime voluntarily, and there was no compensatory leave." ”

"I thought something was wrong. If you work overtime, you will work overtime, and it is not that you have not worked overtime. Zhao Xuan smiled, overtime is really nothing, not to mention doing interesting work.

The two of them entered the Sanqingguan while talking. Following the flow of people, the two walked to the backyard and stood under the fence, observing the well not far away.

The well looks like an ancient well, with knee-high bluestone on the edge of it, and weeds have grown in the cracks. Some of the periphery has welded a new fence with water pipes and steel bars, which looks like it is newly repaired, and it should be that after there have been more people recently, the Taoist temple is worried about the danger, so it was temporarily built.

Beside him, there was a man dressed in Taoist robes, who was constantly using an iron bucket to bring water up from the well and pour it into a large water tank beside him. The pilgrims, on the other hand, lined up and poured water from the large tanks into various containers with scoops.

"Is it an anomaly?" Zhao Xuan looked at it for a long time, didn't see any problems, and turned his head to ask Zhang Yuan beside him.

Zhang Yuan clasped his hands, shook his head and said, "I didn't see it." I guess even if there is, it has nothing to do with this well, and it may be that there is something in the well. ”

"What then? Jump in and take a look? ”

"Can you swim?"

"What then?" Zhao Xuan didn't come up with a solution.

"Don't worry, let's place an order and come back in the evening, there are too many people." Zhang Yuan pulled Zhao Xuan, turned a corner, and walked towards the "dormitory area" next to him.

Zhang Yuan's Taoist certificate once again played its role, and the two successfully obtained a guest room.

The facilities in the room are very simple, just two beds, a table and a chair, and the cleaning is very clean. The two of them just went in and took a casual look, put their backpacks on the ground, and came out again.

Zhang Yuan arranged for Zhao Xuan to observe around the Taoist temple, and he was going to talk to the Taoist priests here to see if there were any clues.

"Come back before eleven o'clock, it's too late to eat!" Zhang Yuan reminded Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan didn't have any opinions, turned around and walked out of the Taoist temple, wandering around aimlessly.

The Taoist temple is in a small mountain pass, surrounded by mountains on three sides, in addition to Zhao Xuan's road from the scenic spot, there is another road, the people coming and going are bustling, it seems that it should lead directly to a certain town.

Longhu Mountain belongs to the typical Danxia landform, the peak is not high, but the rock wall is straight, it is difficult to climb, just like Zhao Xuan and they walked from Zhengyiguan before, that is, they meandered along the mountain peak, and did not go up the mountain.

It's the same with Sanqingguan, Zhao Xuan didn't find a way up the mountain, and Zhao Xuan just followed the dirt road stepped out by his predecessors at the foot of the mountain, treating himself as an ordinary tourist and walking around at will.

Walked along the road for more than ten minutes, and then came to the end, a small pool, the shallow place by the pool, with stones and wooden boards to build a platform, some years, it seems that it should be the place where people in the Taoist temple wash clothes.

Zhao Xuan looked around the edge of the pond and didn't find a water source, it should be a spring gushing out of the ground. The spring gushes out of the pond and then merges into a small stream that flows down the mountain.

Zhao Xuan bent down and washed his face, the water in the pool was clear and cold, which made Zhao Xuan feel refreshed.

If you put aside the unusual things, this is indeed a good place to relax.

While thinking, he walked down the stream for a while, and when he saw a road on the opposite side, he jumped over the stream and continued on his way.

After a short walk, the mountain road led straight into a cave.

Zhao Xuan frowned, looked around, and indeed found no traces of other roads.

Generally speaking, if you don't walk on the mountain road often, it won't take long to find it again.

In other words, this cave should be often walked, but how can ordinary people have nothing to do with it? It's not a tourist attraction.

Zhao Xuan took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and went to the cave, but he didn't find anything strange, so he observed the surrounding environment and walked to the cave.

There is not a lot of space in the cave, enough for two or three people to walk side by side, and the ground is not damp, but there is no road, so it is not easy to walk.

Zhao Xuan walked along the cave for dozens of meters, didn't find anything abnormal, turned around and glanced in the direction of the cave entrance, only a faint light and shadow remained.

Zhao Xuan didn't dare to go forward, he didn't bring anything, and his mobile phone didn't have a signal, if he got lost in the cave, it was not a joke. So Zhao Xuanbian turned around and walked back.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Zhao Xuan turned off the flashlight of his mobile phone, and turned around to look at the cave again, this time, he almost didn't scare Zhao Xuan to death!

A dark shadow was almost at the same position where Zhao Xuan walked back! I couldn't tell if it was a human or some other creature.

The only thing Zhao Xuan was sure of was that he was absolutely not when he walked in just now!

"Zhao Xuan." There was a voice from the cave, not loud, but clear.

Suddenly, Zhao Xuan's cold sweat came down, and a huge sense of fear hit again.

This is definitely Director Zhao's voice, exactly the same as the voice I heard a few times before!

In Zhao Xuan's trance, the black shadow in front of him also disappeared.

Zhao Xuan came out of the cave in a trance, ran violently, rushed back to the waterhole, threw the mobile phone aside, lay directly on the ground, and immersed his head directly in the water.

Then he lay on the grass by the pond so weakly, looking at the blue sky, panting heavily.

Zhao Xuan couldn't understand what the reason was, and why Director Zhao said "Zhao Xuan" with no emotion. can bring such a great, unprovoked fear!

Lying on the ground for a while, until this sense of fear gradually dissipated, Zhao Xuan put away the mobile phone on the ground and slowly walked back. It didn't take long for Zhao Xuan to return to Sanqingguan.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the guest room, before he could speak, Zhang Yuan spoke: "What am I doing with you, didn't I say that I would let you come back early for dinner?" ”

"Isn't it too early?" Zhao Xuan replied to Zhang Yuan weakly, took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and was stunned on the spot.

When Zhao Xuan went out, it was a little more than ten o'clock, and it would be more than one o'clock in the afternoon on the mobile phone!

In other words, it took no more than half an hour to go back and forth, and Zhao Xuan actually came back after nearly three hours.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuan saw that Zhao Xuan's face was wrong, so he quickly pulled Zhao Xuan to sit down, and gave Zhao Xuan a bottle of mineral water. Then he asked, "What did you find out about the anomaly?" ”

Zhao Xuan poured two mouthfuls of water, and then came back to his senses and told Zhang Yuan about the experience just now.

"I'll ask." Zhang Yuan hurriedly pushed the door and went out.

Not long after, Zhang Yuan came back and sat on the bed.

Seeing Zhao Xuan looking at him, Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "The Taoist priest in the temple said that he had never seen such a cave, but he often went to wash clothes. Occasionally, I would cross the stream to cut wood, but I had never seen a cave like this. ”

"What then?" Zhao Xuan asked.

"You eat something first, and then we'll go check it out." Zhang Yuan stood up and motioned for Zhao Xuan to go with him: "Master, I'm interested enough, I've left you a meal." ”

Zhao Xuan nodded, followed Zhang Yuan to the kitchen, ate a bowl of rice indiscriminately, washed the dishes casually, and walked to the back of the watch again.

But after more than ten minutes, he came to the edge of the pond again.

Zhao Xuan pointed to the creek and said, "Follow the stream." ”

After walking down for a hundred or two hundred meters, the path reappeared in front of the two of them.

After crossing the stream and walking for a few minutes, we returned to the location of the cave, but the previous cave was gone!

At the end of the road, clinging to the mountain wall, is a small gravel field, as for the mountain wall, in addition to the smooth mountain wall red horizontal stripes, where is the shadow of a cave!

Zhao Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and searched carefully along the rock wall, but he couldn't find any traces of the cave at all. Turning his head, he gestured at Zhang Yuan and said, "What's the matter?" What about caves? It's a big cave, why is there no more? ”

Zhang Yuan was happy: "My painting style has changed because of you?" ”

"Don't make a fuss, it's really here, this mountain road goes straight into the cave." Zhao Xuan stretched out his hand to gesture at the location, then walked to the location of the cave before, and kicked twice at the cliff, but it was indeed not.

"Wait! I seem to know! Developed, developed! Hidden! The secret is here! Zhang Yuan shouted and rushed to Zhao Xuan's side, patted Zhao Xuan's shoulder vigorously, and said excitedly: "Sure enough, it's right to bring your kid here!" ”

"Stop!" Zhao Xuan waved his hand to block Zhang Yuan's heavier and heavier hand, and asked Zhang Yuan: "Say, what does it mean, don't shout." ”

"I'm sure it's an anomaly! But it doesn't have much impact. It should be a surname 'Sun', but it's a new anomaly. Zhang Yuan's excitement was not over, he rubbed his hands and explained to Zhao Xuan: "By distorting the perception of the vicinity, you can't see the location of the hole, it's not a complicated thing, but it's very easy to use!" ”

"What does it look like? Where is it? How do I cancel it? Zhao Xuan pointed to the core of the problem.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know." Zhang Yuan was more direct.

"Then you talk!" Zhao Xuan originally heard Zhang Yuan's words, and was about to look around, but he didn't bother to look for it again, so he found a clean place, sat on the ground, and asked Zhang Yuan: "Then what should we do?" ”

"Don't worry." Zhang Yuan's excitement also passed, he sat down next to Zhao Xuan, and said, "You came in in the morning, which means that the energy or influence of this thing is weakening." Besides......"

When Zhang Yuan said this, he squeezed his eyes at Zhao Xuan, and continued, "Why did we forget the purpose of coming here? ”

"Looking for your old Zhang's secret!" Zhao Xuan turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan: "You mean this is it?" But I went in, but I didn't see anything. ”

"What is our old Zhang family, that's the state, I just want to borrow it!" Zhang Yuan corrected Zhao Xuan's mistake in his words and said: "Where there is a hidden treasure, just find a cave and put it inside, you must go inside." Also, you know how I thought it was an anomaly? ”

Zhao Xuan shook his head.

"Have you heard the story of the Rotten Ke chess game?" Zhang Yuan asked.

This Zhao Xuan has heard that it is a "day above the sky, and a thousand years on the earth." Just a legend.

Seeing Zhao Xuan nodded, Zhang Yuan continued: "You said that you had only been there for less than half an hour before, so I was a little suspicious, and when I came here and saw that there was no cave here, I was basically seventy percent sure." ”

"This is a mythical and legendary ......" Zhang Yuan paused and said, "Dongfu." ”
