Chapter 10: The Waterfall
The sound of the waterfall is getting louder and louder, as if rushing in the sky, vast in the sky, flying straight down into the mortal world, bursting out of the crystal like jade.
A group of five people has come to the near side of the waterfall, and it is only when they are close that they really feel the grandeur of this waterfall. Lin Hu suddenly said: "I have a sense, and there is a sudden anger next to this waterfall." ”
Ye Hao was nervous: "Could it be that the stone monkey fell into this pool of water?"
Lin Hu shook his head and said, "No, this aura is very weird, completely different from the aura I usually feel, I'm afraid it's not a stone monkey." ”
Ye Hao was deeply impressed by Lin Hu's words, because of the fact that they had been together for many years, he knew that the two brothers Lin Long and Lin Hu had many abilities that others did not have, such as their senses were extremely sensitive, as long as they were within a certain range of this person, they could identify who this person was. Maybe it's the nature of hunters, or maybe it's family inheritance, which even the two brothers Lin Long and Lin Hu can't say.
Lin Wanqing asked, "Brother Long and Brother Hu, can you determine the specific location of this breath?"
Lin Long raised his hand and pointed along the place where the waterfall fell: "It's right there." ”
"What, in the waterfall? Is there a mistake, it must be in this deep pool...... "The fat man wondered.
Lin Hu shook his head and said: "My brother is not wrong, my feeling is the same as his, this breath is not in this deep pool of clear water, but from the direction of the waterfall." I believe there should be a cave behind the waterfall. ”
Lin Qingwa looked at the waterfall that flowed straight down, and couldn't help but gasp: "My mother, this waterfall is so fast, even if there is really a hole behind it, it's not for us to get in......"
Ye Hao thought for a moment and asked Lin Long and Lin Hu, "Besides that waterfall, do you still feel the breath of people in other places at the bottom of this valley?"
Lin Long and Lin Hu shook their heads at the same time and said, "No, I can't feel this kind of breath anymore except in that place." ”
Ye Hao said: "Well, since this is the case, that is to say, if the stone monkey is still in this valley, it is only possible to be behind the waterfall." So, everyone wait for me here, and let me find a way to go to the waterfall and explore it. ”
Lin Wanqing was a little worried: "Brother Hao, Brother Tiger also said just now, that breath doesn't look like a stone monkey, so why do you take risks, in case you encounter any danger......"
"Hehe, Sister Wanqing, don't worry, I just want to go to the waterfall to explore, I won't go into the depths, nothing will happen, if it can't be done, I'll come out immediately." ”
"No, Boss Ye, that breath is very strange, neither like the breath of a living person, nor like the breath of a dead person, it is really very special, it is best not to go in. If you really plan to go, then let's go together, and we will take care of more or less. Lin Hu said.
Lin Qingwa also said: "Yes, yes, Brother Tiger is right, we want to go together, as the so-called blessings and hardships are shared." ”
Lin Wanqing grabbed Ye Hao's arm and looked at him with a pleading gaze.
Ye Hao took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart: "Okay, since everyone is willing to go, let's take this risk together." ”
"Okay," several people said at the same time.
Lin Long said: "You wait here first, my brother and I will go to explore the road first and see where it is easier to get in." With that, the two brothers Lin Long and Lin Hu went straight to the direction of the waterfall.
After a short time, the two brothers ran back excitedly.
"There is a way. ”
Lin Hu said: "My brother and I have carefully checked near the waterfall, there is a rope bridge on the edge of the pool, which can directly lead to the waterfall not far away, and there is a path on the opposite side of the rope bridge that leads directly to the waterfall, it is obvious that these are deliberately built." ”
Lin Qingwa said: "Then there must be someone behind the waterfall, and this rope bridge and trail were naturally built by that person, since it is a person, then we are not afraid, maybe the stone monkey was caught by that person." ”
Ye Hao nodded and said, "The toad is right, maybe the stone monkey is in the cave, let's go to the cave to find out." ”
Under the leadership of the Lin brothers, several people easily crossed the ropeway and followed the stone path by the ropeway towards the waterfall.
The stone path was well piled up, apparently carved by hand, and several people easily reached the vicinity of the waterfall. When you come to the near side of the waterfall, you can really feel the majestic power of nature, and the waterfall roars down not far from the heads of several people, and no other sound can be heard except the sound of water.
Ye Hao pointed to the place of the waterfall, then stretched out his hands and nodded, signaling everyone to hold hands and enter the cave behind the waterfall together, so as not to be washed into the waterhole due to too much pressure of the waterfall.
Several people pulled together, and Lin Long tied a rope around the waists of several people before he was relieved. Several people rushed to the waterfall together, and in an instant, the huge pressure of the waterfall fell from the head, and everyone almost couldn't breathe, but this pressure was only for a moment, when several people's bodies fell through the waterfall into the cave, all the pressure suddenly disappeared without a trace.
After several people rushed into the cave, they were immediately attracted by the scenery in front of them. What caught my eye was such a scene, a thin stream flowing under my feet, the stream was clear and fluorescent, and the whole cave was as bright as outside the cave, and everything in front of me could be seen clearly. The roof of the cave is hung with stalactites of various colors, green, red, blue, colorful, fluorescent.
Several people were amazed by the wonders of the cave as they walked along the stream towards the depths of the cave.
"It's so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful place in my life. Lin Wanqing's eyes were full of excitement.
Ye Hao was also attracted by the scenery in front of him, but his heart was more worried about the whereabouts of the stone monkey, whether it was dead or alive, he had to bring the stone monkey back, so that he could be the right Qishijia Village, the right Qishi monkey's relatives, and the right guilt.
Under the urging of Ye Hao, several people went to the depths of the cave, although the cave was full of twists and turns, and full of thorns, but under the guidance of this stream like a bright lamp, they did not encounter much difficulty.
Ye Hao's vigilant mood gradually relaxed a lot.
"My mother......" Lin Qingwa, who was walking at the end, suddenly shouted, and several frightened people hurriedly looked back.
I saw Lin Qingwa standing in place like a wooden chicken at this time, her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were full of fright.
"Dead fatty, what are you doing, yelling, it will scare people to death. Lin Wanqing stomped her feet and shouted at Lin Qingwa, and it could be seen that Lin Qingwa's shout, Lin Wanqing was the most frightened, after all, the girl's mind was more sensitive and fragile, and the already relaxed mood was suddenly made nervous by the fat man.
"I, I, I ......"
"What are you, dead fatty, when did you become stammering. Lin Hu said angrily.
"I, I, I...... I saw a figure just now. Lin Qingwa was obviously trembling when she spoke.
The fat man's words suddenly made a cool breath rise on the backs of several people.
Ye Hao's eyes looked around, but he didn't find anything, and hurriedly asked, "Fatty, you can be clear, what kind of figure? It can't be that you are mistaken, right?"
Lin Qingwa trembled and said: "Boss Ye, just now you were walking in front, I was behind, I wanted to take a good look at the beautiful scenery in this cave, but suddenly I felt that someone next to me was blowing cool air, I thought it was Xiaohu joking with me, I didn't pay much attention at first, but then I saw Xiaohu and you walking in front, I was a little scared, just about to call you, I saw "whoosh" from the top of the cave All of a sudden, it was as if a man had jumped down, and he was so quick that he shook in front of me, glaring at me viciously, and I cried out in fear, but as soon as you turned around, the figure disappeared......"
"Ah...... Don't scare me with jokes, dead fatty. Lin Wanqing's face had changed.
"Sister Wanqing, fat man, I usually like to joke, but I also know when it is, in such a strange place, how dare I joke casually. Lin Qingwa said aggrievedly.
Lin Long's face became a little solemn: "Everyone be careful, I also feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what is wrong." ”
Lin Hu was surprised: "Brother, why didn't I feel anything?"
Lin Long shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.
"There's some evil here, I think we'd better go out......" Lin Qingwa was obviously frightened by that just moment.
Ye Haoyi frowned and said, "No, how can I give up if I don't find the stone monkey." Toad, you accompany Wanqing to wait for us outside, and Xiaolong Xiaohu and I continue to explore the front. ”
"No, Brother Hao, I won't go out, I'll go with you wherever you go. Lin Wanqing turned to the fat man and said, "Fatty, if you're afraid, go outside by yourself." ”
When the fat man heard this, he shook his head: "This is not good, you all go in and leave me alone...... What should I do if something happens outside...... If you want to go, if you want to go out, you can go out, anyway, I'm going with everyone, hehe......" The fat man laughed a little unnaturally, obviously frightened by what happened just now.
Ye Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together, even if there is anything, we can take care of each other." ”
The fat man nodded, and hurriedly ran to Ye Hao's side, he didn't dare to be alone anymore and was left alone.
Ye Hao and Lin Long glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their expressions.
"Keep walking. Lin Long took the lead and walked towards the depths of the cave.
Everyone didn't say anything more, and followed behind Lin Long with apprehension.
Continuing to walk a short distance, the stream became thinner and thinner, the passage of the cave became narrower and narrower, and the cave became darker.
The two brothers, Lin Long and Lin Hu, pinned the firewood knife to their waists and started a fire.
The shadow shuttles, and the cave is even more gloomy.
Suddenly, Lin Long stopped suddenly, waved his hand to the people behind him, and shouted, "Stop, the atmosphere here is very chaotic." ”
Lin Hu also said: "I feel the same way, the breath of this place puts a lot of pressure on me, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous to go any further......"
At this moment, Ye Hao felt that there was something different around him, a mist condensed from nowhere, and an old hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "You are finally here." ”
You're finally here!
You're finally here!!
You're finally here!!
This voice kept echoing in Ye Hao's ears.
Who is it? Who is speaking? Ye Hao felt a creep.
The others were still walking in front, unaware.
Ye Hao felt that this voice seemed to be heard only by himself.
You...... Finally...... Here it comes...... Ye Hao's mind kept echoing this sentence.
Ahead, just ahead, Ye Hao clearly felt that this voice was coming from the front.
However, it was the first time I had come to this cave, so why did the voice say that I had finally come......? Have I ever been here?
Ye Hao felt both frightened and confused in his heart, and his face was instantly covered with sweat.
Wanqing seemed to sense Ye Hao's panic, turned around and asked, "Brother Hao, are you okay?"
"Oh, no...... It's nothing...... Ye Hao took a deep breath and tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, he was afraid of causing pressure to others.
He walked to Lin Long's side: "Don't move yet, let me go ahead and have a look." ”
Lin Long grabbed Ye Hao's arm and shook his head: "Don't go." ”
"Don't worry, although I also feel the danger, there is a very special feeling in my heart, as if there is a voice calling out to me in my heart, and the voice of this call is in the depths of the cave......"
When several people heard Ye Hao's words, they all looked at him with suspicion, with a look of disbelief.
"It's true......" Ye Hao nodded solemnly.
Hearing this, Lin Long withdrew his hand holding Ye Hao.
Ye Hao took the fire fold in Lin Long's hand and walked forward alone.
I didn't go far, and a cold feeling instantly spread all over my body.
The roof of the cave is getting lower and lower from the ground, and the entrance of the cave is getting narrower and narrower, barely allowing one person to pass.
After only a moment's effort, Ye Hao's figure disappeared from the field of vision of several people.
After walking about 100 kilometers through such a narrow road, a black iron gate suddenly appeared in front of me. It can be seen from the rust on the iron door that this iron gate has gone through the baptism of many years. There was an old bolt on the door, but it wasn't fastened, and the lock just hung on the side. The iron door was half-open, and the light of the fire broke into the iron door flickering in and out, but it was not clear what was inside the door.
Ye Hao hesitated slightly, and finally slowly pushed open the iron door.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak......" In this piercing sound, the ancient iron doors were finally opened, completely showing a new world in front of Ye Hao's eyes.
Ye Hao was stunned for a moment, an inexplicable familiar feeling arose, and the moment he looked inside the door, it was as if a huge stone bell struck in the depths of Ye Hao's soul, and he was stunned for a moment.
