After they climbed up the cliff and looked down, they found that they had reached the top of the mountain without knowing it. There were clouds below, and they had a panoramic view of the entire Guakeng Village.
The wind at the top of the mountain was very strong. In front of it was a cave that was as tall as a person. The entrance of the cave was covered with green vines, which were densely covered with more than half of the entrance. It was so dark inside that it was unknown where it led.
"You can see the ancient pagoda after entering this cave," Granny Jiu said in a hoarse voice, "but there may be some weird things in the cave that you don't usually see. No matter what weird objects you see later,
Let us not be afraid.”
I don't know whether it was because of the Tai Chi climb just now or because the wind here was too strong. Chen Zhi felt that there was something wrong with Grandma Jiu's voice. It seemed like someone who had injured her throat was trying to speak. The weird feeling was hard to describe.
.
"In this world now, it would be strange if anything could scare us!" Fat Wei said with a smile, "Granny Jiu, don't underestimate us. Even if the Jade Emperor suddenly pops out, I can do it.
Talk and laugh with him."
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he laughed and winked at Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi understood and walked in front of Fat Wei, following Granny Jiu into the cave.
It was very dark inside the cave. The further we walked, the darker it became. However, Granny Jiu walked very fast in front without any lighting, and soon left Chen Zhi and Pang Wei behind.
It was very quiet in the cave, the kind of state where you could hear a pin drop. But in the darkness, no one could see anyone else. They could only clearly hear the footsteps of three people. Fat Wei had been leaning against Chen.
Zhi was walking behind. In the middle of the journey, Fat Wei suddenly reached out his hand and quickly wrote a few words on Chen Zhi's back.
"Be careful, she is not human"
Chen Zhi's back immediately stiffened, and a chill rose in his heart, but he continued to walk forward without making any sound, closely following the figure in front of him.
The cave was dark and long, and Grandma Jiu walked very fast, without even looking back or speaking, as if she had forgotten that there were two people behind her.
In this darkness, Chen Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and a warm heat surged out of his chest. He saw the aura around the human body again.
This ability to observe the human body's aura has never appeared again since the last time it was stimulated in the tomb of the gods. This ability seems to only appear when the body feels extremely dangerous.
Chen Zhi now saw waves of faint light emanating from Fat Wei and himself. It was a flowing luminous aura. The aura on Fat Wei's body was very mixed and bland, but Chen Zhi's body was still
It was that kind of faint golden light that surged quickly. Chen Zhi looked forward and saw that the Nine Granny in front was still dim and dull, with no aura exuding from her body, as if she were dead.
Chen Zhi and Fat Wei followed Grandma Jiu silently. They walked at extremely fast speeds. After walking for more than 3 hours, a strange scene appeared in front of them.
The cave is still dark, but there are large groups of fungi growing on the rock walls. These mushrooms seem to be spiritual and sparkle all over. On the rock wall at the end of the cave is a large area of shining mushrooms.
, densely packed into a pattern that looks like a human face, the light is very beautiful, making people feel like they are in a fantasy world.
Grandma Jiu suddenly stopped when she came here. She slowly turned around and looked at Chen Zhi and Pang Wei. The light of the mushroom made her old face pale and pale.
"These are magic mushrooms, don't stare at them.",
Grandma Jiu's voice became even hoarse, which sounded very uncomfortable.
"These mushrooms attract people's attention and make people dizzy. Generally, people who come here will be attracted by these mushrooms and will not realize that there is a passage ahead."
After Grandma Jiu finished speaking, she wiped the large group of human face-like patterns in front of her a few times. The group of mushrooms was like a writhing mass of meat, slowly squirming and revealing a small black hole.
It grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a round hole as tall as a person.
"Let's go!" Grandma Jiu waved to Chen Zhi and Pang Wei and said, "Just walk ahead for a while and you can go out."
Seeing Granny Jiu step into the cave entrance, Chen Zhi and Pang Wei looked at each other and followed suit.
The journey that followed was very complicated. Grandma Jiu made several more turns. Every time she turned into a cave, she would flip a magic mushroom on it as a switch. Finally, the cave finally appeared in front of them.
When they stepped out of the cave, they were greeted by a burst of sweet air. The blue sky and white clouds outside made the scenery so magical that it was unimaginable. They even thought they were watching a Hollywood fantasy blockbuster.
"If Guakeng Village is a paradise, then this place is simply a fairyland."
All the plants here are large-leafed plants, green and green all over the entire valley, with bunches of bright red fruits hanging on the branches like gems. The big trees here are tall and lush, with winding branches and colorful flowers.
It is splendid and beautiful, with piles of rocks and uncanny curves. A small river meanders in front of it, and the surface of the river sparkles like diamonds. It is simply a fairy tale world.
And the most amazing thing is not just these. From time to time, some small shining birds fly out from among the green plants. These birds chirp, and when they fly, they bring out a colorful beam of light, flying all over the sky like a rainbow, which is very beautiful.
of gorgeous beauty.
Chen Zhi and Fat Wei were both stunned, and their eyes widened in confusion.
Grandma Jiu was not in the mood to look at the scenery. She pointed to the tower spire exposed in the dense forest ahead and said, "That ancient tower is right there. Let's go quickly! Try to get there before noon."
Grandma Jiu's voice became even weirder, and even sounded like a man's. She still didn't look back at Fat Wei and Chen Zhi, and walked straight to the river.
The water of the river was very clear, flowing forward slowly, and a small wooden boat was tied to the shore.
"Come up!" Grandma Jiu said to Chen Zhi and Pang Wei, "Just float forward along the river for a while."
Grandma Jiu quickly got on the boat and pulled the rope. Chen Zhi and Pang Wei also jumped on. When the boat started to float forward, the colorful birds flying in the sky immediately started to circle around Grandma Jiu.
Chen Zhi looked at the clear river water under the boat. There was a very conspicuous black powder floating in it. There was a very large amount of it. It was the kind of financial soil containing gold. Grandma Jiu became very quiet after getting on the boat, lowering her head and keeping silent.
As they spoke, the three of them fell into a silent silence.
"Nine Granny", Chen Zhi broke the tranquility, "I have another story about the monk Danchi. Do you want to hear it?"
Grandma Jiu in front still lowered her head, as if she didn't hear anything and didn't react at all.
Chen Zhi stared at her and continued, "In the story I know, the foolish monk hundreds of years ago did not return home in fine clothes because of his success in Buddhism. In fact, he was captured and spent a lot of time in the underworld.
Years later, he escaped from the underworld and returned to his hometown with the treasures in the underworld and a map of the underworld. But after escaping back to his hometown, he suddenly disappeared. Why do you think this is?"
Granny Jiu suddenly trembled all over. She raised her head and looked at Chen Zhi. Her old face was cold and stiff, and she said in a hoarse male voice, "Maybe after he came back from the underworld, he found that he was no longer a human being!"
