Several people crossed several stone bridges on the water, climbed the stairs of the stilted building, and so on into the main hall of the stilted building, it can be seen that the hall is tall and has many rooms, and the left and right rooms are quite clean after opening the door, and everyone occupies one side of the male and female rooms.

Because the stilted building is in disrepair and is already full of dust, Yue Guanchao and they saw that it was still early, so they picked up the bucket by the dry fence and fetched water in the river, wiped the front and back of the left and right rooms, and waited for the surface ash to be wiped clean, and then it was considered to be a foothold.

At dinner, the surroundings were completely darkened, only the moonlight poured down from the windows of the trees in the mountain bay, the river flowed quietly like broken glass, the insects chirped and the crickets kept entering the ears, and in the silence you could hear the wild things in the forest rushing through.

Yue Guanchao and the others had eaten, found a brazier in the house, lit a bonfire to dispel the dampness and cold, and the flames licked the firewood, making a crackling sound, and the bright light became the only light source in the mountain bay.

"Xiangxi is very humid at night, the mountains are not very peaceful, I heard that there are tigers, bears blind, mandrills, many man-eating beasts, if you escape now, it is estimated that you have already fed the animals, fortunately we stopped you, desperate to rush forward, that is the catastrophe coming."

The peacock picked a little wild sweet potato from the mountain and put it into the brazier, and when it was almost burned, the aroma had already wafted out, and this aroma attracted many animals, and they had to close the door of the hall.

Gao Azheng ate wild sweet potatoes and said, "Sister Peacock, why did you come back at this time, I thought you wouldn't come back for the rest of your life after you redeemed yourself!" ”

Ren Peacock turned over the brazier and said: "I came back to solve the problem of the falling flower cave girl, just happened to meet you falling into the cave and wanted to see your house, I didn't expect that you pretended to fall into the cave to cause these things, now look at it, what cave girl marries the cave god, that is just the wishful thinking of the villagers, the only possibility after they fall into the hole is to be starved to death, if I don't save you, there will be other cave girls in the future." ”

"But, can you save it, in dozens of states in Xiangxi, most of the mountains have fallen flower cave girls."

Gao Azheng's words made the peacock sigh: "The idea that the master said is the way of salvation, I believe that the master must have a way to spread this rule in Xiangxi and save all the cave girls." ”

"You two, don't think about it, anyway, you didn't fall into the hole, and it has nothing to do with you, just wait for tomorrow to act with the master."

Speaking of which, the night was deep, and several people went back to their rooms to fall asleep, this night, the wolf roared with the barking of a hundred beasts in the middle of the night, and waited until the sunrise the next day to see the surrounding quiet down.

Yue Guanchao was afraid that the old Taoist priest would come in advance, so he took Gao Ah Zheng and returned to the mountain god stone, and waited until it was close to noon, and finally saw the musical instruments beating outside the cave, and it was noisy.

Yue Erpao was originally sentry at the entrance of the cave, and ran to them with a smoke: "Coming, coming, they are coming." ”

After speaking, Gao Azheng took out the pill given by the old Taoist priest and stuffed it into his mouth, Song Siyuan took out the puff from the bag again, and rubbed a thick layer of powder on her face and neck, which looked several degrees whiter than ordinary people.

They saw that everyone had already entered the cave, and took Chunsheng to hide behind the mountain god stone, and hid through the dark environment.

But after a while, these young people who invited the god's wife had already entered the cave, and the old Taoist priest walked to Gao Azheng's side, touched her near her nose, and explained: "She is out of breath, but there is still a trace of soul, we quickly invite her back, and open an altar in Fengtou Mountain, if it is really her dream for me, it must be to convey the will of the cave god."

"Let's go!"

Several young people took wooden planks and lifted Gao Azheng's body out of the cave, in order to avoid anyone finding them, Yue Guanchao and they did not dare to walk out of the cave until the sound of the musical instrument completely dissipated.

Ren Peacock looked at the crowd gradually descending the mountain, and said: "Let's go back along the path, I remember that from Laolongkou to Fengtou Mountain, there is a cave waterway, and you need to use a canopy boat when you go." ”

Several people went down the mountain along the way while talking, and when they arrived at the Qingshui River, they rented a canopy boat and crossed into the dark river in the mountains full of caves.

After leaving the old dragon's mouth, the canopy boat passes through one after another karst caves, the sky light sometimes appears and sometimes hidden, you can see that the two sides of the cave are lined up with bamboo shoot-like shrines and stone temples, and even, there are some straw herdsmen wearing colorful clothes standing on both sides of the river, if you walk here at night, with stalactites with interlaced canine teeth, you will definitely be frightened.

Ren Peacock explained: "Xiangxi landscape psychic, these are just the mountain people to the gods to build a temple, this cave should have been used as a channel to transport cinnabar, some stone temples have not been worshiped for a long time, when the cinnabar mine is still there, there are countless small niches and small temples built here, but the temple is the size of the water tank at most, and the smaller one is only a little bigger than the bowl mouth, and the countryside chaos gods are not allowed to live in the big temple." ”

As they spoke, they had already rowed through several waterways, some of which had trestles falling into the water, and it could be seen that the port led to the outside of the cave, and there was a bright sky light sprinkled into the cave, illuminating the water surface with a full light, and when they also came out of the cave, they had already come to the foot of Fengtou Mountain.

At this time, the top of the mountain is bustling and lively, the altar has been built, the flags are fluttering, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the people can be seen at a glance from the bottom of the mountain.

A few people walked up to the crested mountain unhurriedly, and came to the meadow where the altar is located, which is not far from Yizhuang, it is a huge meadow that exposes the sky, a three-story high platform built of wood is located in front, eight wooden stakes are hung high, there are bonfire braziers around and are located in all directions, under the surging heat, the road flag flutters without wind, and it is extremely mysterious.

Gao Azheng has been placed on the lotus platform, wearing a silver hairpin dress, the skin is exposed to the white of the dead after rubbing the powder and water, and the marriage book is surrounded by the lotus platform in hand, without revealing a trace of the breath of the living, in front of her, the stone enshrined by the Gao family has also been re-placed on the table, and the tribute melons and fruits are gathered, and the incense is curling, and the smoke is endless!

The old Taoist priest picked up the bell of the Emperor of the Three Qing Dynasty and beat the whip, and constantly hummed the mantra around Gao Azheng, singing and dancing on the high platform.

The old Taoist priest saw that Yue Guanchao had already gotten into the crowd, and finally wiped the sweat on his head, grabbed the kettle on his waist and drank a sip of wine, then turned around and picked up the silver and white wedding book, spit the wine on the marriage book, and threw the fire on the marriage book.

When the flame on the marriage book was extinguished, the old Taoist priest slowly opened the marriage book, and the words on it really turned blood red, as if it was soaked in blood.

He picked up the marriage book, shook his head and said: "There is a woman in the cave, lonely and miserable, as a god's wife, it is really unfortunate, the sky is merciful, the land is pitiful, the cave god has a god, how can it be said that the evil god, for the benefit of the mountains and wilderness, not to paint the soul, if there is a cave girl, redeem herself in advance, the lover is intentional, the cave girl is affectionate, even the branches are connected, the love is strong, hand in hand with the white head, there is no need to serve the gods, under the heavens, follow the same reason, the wealth and fortune are obedient, and the beauty is complete." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
