Chapter 643: Old Dragon Cave God
After Gao Azheng's figure disappeared, the old Taoist priest took the musical instrument team to beat the practice, and only left with the villagers one after another for half an hour.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Yue Guanchao stared carefully ahead, and there was indeed a person hiding in the bushes, this person was dressed in black, wearing a hat and a back coat, and the black cloth wrapped his head in half-pulled, sneakily looking into the old dragon cave, obviously observing the situation.
"Here, after we wait for him to go in, we will come to catch turtles in an urn, I want to see who is so bad, at this time, I don't dare to stand in front of the stage."
When the peacock muttered quietly, the mysterious man had already walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, and he first picked up the fire fold to illuminate the entrance of the cave, and only after making sure that there was no one behind him, did he sneak into the hole.
Waiting for the mysterious man's footsteps to go away, Yue Guanchao waited for a stick of incense, quickly picked up the long knife and turned over to the entrance of the cave, and walked into the cave with a flashlight following the traces of the mysterious man.
When you first enter the cave, the bright sky light quickly goes out, and the surroundings are plunged into darkness, and all you can see is the bare grotto, and the river flows through the low-lying places under your feet, rushing out of the cave along the terrain.
Yue Guanchao looked around, huge old trees formed all kinds of tripods, supporting the narrow and slender mine holes, the stone walls were full of dented grooves left by the demolition of mortise and tenon joints, and the ground was scattered with axes, chisels, shovels, and hemp ropes, which were either rotten or full of rust.
On some ores, dark red blood-colored hairspring veins can still be seen, and there are also a few ores on the ground, which have been washed over the years, becoming round and porous like pebbles.
"Why are there so many cinnabar mines here?"
Song Siyuan turned on the flashlight, and as they walked into the hole, it was full of cinnabar ore that had been dug up, and under the reflection of the flashlight, it was like a murder scene, full of horror.
"This used to be the cinnabar mine in Huahuan County!"
As mentioned earlier, Laolongkou used to be a mine, and what was produced was the cinnabar used for alchemy and disinfection.
The cinnabar of the world out of Chenzhou, the cinnabar used in the world, the best cinnabar in Chenzhou, according to legend, the color of Chenzhou cinnabar is bright, the impurities are less, the delicate and warm after grinding into powder, mixed with tung oil and other things can make the royal ink, it is the tribute that Hunan sends to the capital.
Chenzhou Zhifu is Yuanling County, Xiangxi, Huayuan County is not far from Yuanling, there will be cinnabar mines here, but with the collection of cinnabar, some mines have been abandoned, leaving only mines of different sizes, if it is not for the mudslide to break down the mountain, these mines have long been covered by vegetation, and it is impossible to find traces.
After they walked into the depths of the mine, there were already countless sealed branch holes, yellow mud rammed earth mouths, leaving only stone niches with large heights of water tanks.
At the moment, these stone shrines have another purpose, just to serve as shrines, and inside sit the dead Fallen Flower Cave Girl.
Yue Guanchao looked at the flashlight and observed carefully, most of these women in the Falling Flower Cave were dressed up and brightly dressed, and their bodies had corroded to the point of only white bones, and they sat in the alcove in a cross-legged meditation posture, and the skeleton picked up the marriage slip in their hands, which was the only thing that could withstand the corrosion of time.
Marriage Jane, is the Luohua Cave Girl into the cave before holding the paperwork, generally made of Miao Yin, soft and easy to fold, engraved with the surname of the Falling Flower Cave Girl, life and past, personality and temperament, at the same time write that the voluntary Falling Cave to marry the cave god as a wife Yunyun, as long as you see the marriage Jane, that is, the life of the Falling Flower Cave Girl to understand clearly.
Yue Guanchao and they walked all the way, picked up the marriage slip and slowly identified the falling flower cave girl starting from Ma Chunxiu, the corpses were all here, and soon, they found a strange place.
"The master said that after the cave girl was ransomed, the forged body and the marriage slip will probably be here, and the body is just staying here instead of the living, if every marriage book of the falling flower cave girl is coherent, Sister Ren, you are also in the hole, where is your marriage book?"
In other words, Ren Peacock, as a girl in the Falling Flower Cave, even if she redeems herself, there will be a marriage Jane here to guard her, from the beginning to the end, the marriage book is coherent and unmissing, which proves that Ren Peacock may not have a hole at all, so there is no marriage Jane.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill from their backs, as if they had been touched by ghost claws, and goosebumps were startled.
"It seems that my guess is correct, Sister Ren, you are probably not a girl in the Falling Flower Cave at all, and of course there is no Falling Cave."
Song Siyuan's words made the peacock even more confused: "Sister, I'm not a girl in the Falling Flower Cave, so why do my parents want to redeem me." ”
"This, I don't know, so far, I can only judge that you became a girl in the Falling Flower Cave is artificial, and what is hidden in it, only your parents and the old Taoist priest know."
Afterwards, everyone looked at the huge sacrificial stone that lay across the depths.
Most of the cave gods are actually the mountain gods of a certain mountain, when the people worship the mountain gods, if they are like the gods of Mount Tai or Huashan, they will display their statues of gods, and the wild cave gods do not have specific images, and generally the stones are carved into human shapes and worshipped.
The cave god mountain stone in front of you is located in the deepest part of the cave, shaped like a pointed longevity peach with flowers and leaves, the three people may not be able to hold it, the surface is rough and dull, there are many traces of being chiseled and polished, I think it is deliberately carved in a strange shape, just like a person wearing a mysterious mask, it also seems that the evil ghost stretches out his head and shrinks his head, it looks extremely weird, and it is not a good god at first glance.
In front of the stone, there is a long and narrow stone table, whenever the cave girl falls into the cave, the mountain people will put chickens, ducks, fish and geese, flowers and fruits on the offering table, so as to offer to the cave god to ask for blessings.
"The cave god of the old dragon's mouth is a dragon king, legend has it that when the hole was played, there was a giant dragon jumping out of the cave in the clouds, and then the cave god was carved on this big stone in the shape of the dragon king, so many years I also saw this statue for the first time, strange and strange."
Yue Guanchao looked near the last shrine, Gao Azheng's position was obviously empty, just now he saw this woman sitting cross-legged near the shrine, but in a blink of an eye, it actually disappeared.
"It's not good, Gao Azheng was snatched away by that person."
Song Siyuan saw Gao Azheng disappear, she had already realized what was happening, she picked up the flashlight and went around behind the sacred stone, and a shadow carried a person to the depths.
Ren Peacock's eyes quickly played with the silk knife, entangled in three or two steps, the silk knife flew out, directly wrapped around the man's arm, he easily couldn't dodge and couldn't hurt Gao Azheng, so he had to put the person down first, pick up the dagger to cut off the silk knife, and hide in the depths of the grotto.
After Song Siyuan picked up Gao Azheng, she took her to the stone platform, let the peacock take out the gourd, pour out the antidote prepared by Lan Ruling from it and feed it to her.
Some people died, but not completely......
