The cave is sandwiched between bushes and bushes, and is no different from an ordinary cave entrance. The stone sealing the cave entrance has been ripped open.
After one last glance at the sky, Yu Sheng took the lead and walked in holding a fish lantern, followed closely by Aunt Qing.
When we first entered, the cave was very big, and there was still water inside. The stalactites on the top of the cave kept ticking down, and the sound was very crisp.
By a pool of water, Yu Sheng found the corpse of a villager. It was already in a state of disgrace, and the head had rolled not far away.
"It would be much easier if there was always water in the cave." Yu Sheng walked around the corpse and the pool, pulling Aunt Qing deeper into the cave.
He looked back from time to time to make sure the shadow monster hadn't come out yet.
As you go deeper, the entrance of the cave gradually becomes narrower, but the ceiling of the cave is very high, and you only need to bend down when you encounter stalactites.
There are even some cave tops that Yu Sheng cannot see from the top of the cave while holding up a fish lantern. I wonder who dug this cave.
The cave kept sloping downward. I didn't know how long I walked, but the monster in the shadow never came out. There was only the sound of two people's footsteps.
However, the rest of my life was not boring. She kept talking and occasionally glanced back at Aunt Qing to get close to her on the pretext of checking her shadow.
When Yu Sheng turned around for the third time and just said he wanted to check the shadow, he was kicked by his aunt, "Hurry up and leave."
Aunt Qing is always paying attention to her surroundings. If there is anything unusual, she will be the first to notice it.
Before Yu Sheng could stand still after being kicked, he hit another stone under his feet and immediately rolled down the downhill cave.
This kick was quite powerful. Aunt Qing was stunned for a moment before chasing after her. She saw Yu Sheng lying on the ground with the fish lantern held high in his hand, safe and sound.
She breathed a sigh of relief, leaned down and asked, "How's it going?"
"Hiss", Yu Sheng turned over with his head facing up, "You murdered your husband."
"Who told you to walk without looking at your feet..." Aunt Qing came to her senses and twisted Yu Sheng's mouth, "If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth to pieces."
"I'm not talking nonsense. My mother betrothed me to you when I was a child." I lay on the ground for the rest of my life and didn't want to get up.
"Nonsense." Aunt Qing stood up.
"Don't let the wealth flow to outsiders?" Yu Sheng remembered his mother saying this to his aunt.
"Get up quickly." Aunt Qing finally showed no mercy and kicked him before looking away in shame.
"Sorry, my back hurts. I need a kiss before I can stand up," Yu Sheng said.
"Where are we?" Aunt Qing looked a little surprised at the scene in front of her.
"Don't try to trick me into getting up." Yu Sheng fell to the ground and turned his head, completely stunned.
A lake appeared in front of them, the water glowing with a faint purple light.
I couldn't see it when I first came in because Yu Sheng's vision was obscured by the light of the fish lantern.
After slowly getting used to it, they saw that the purple light in the lake was spreading all the way, with no end in sight. Maybe the end was in the darkness and they couldn't see it.
After it became quiet, Yu Sheng heard the sound of dripping water echoing throughout the vast lake.
The sky above the lake was dark, and the dome could not be seen.
Yu Sheng took a few steps forward and came to the lake. He touched the water with his hand and quickly took it back.
"What's wrong?" asked Aunt Qing, who was looking around carefully.
"Bitter cold." Yu Sheng said as he reached in again and took out the object that glowed purple from the shore. Only then did he realize that it was a snail.
I can't figure out why these snails glow purple, but there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and I won't bother to waste my brain for the rest of my life.
He threw the snail into the lake and was about to stand up when he heard a faint sound of water. Yu Sheng put his hand on the water and felt the rhythm of the water.
The water suddenly became quiet, and it seemed like hunters were lurking.
Now that he is interested in the rest of his life, he wants to see who dares to offend him in the water.
"They are all purple snails, let's go." Yu Sheng stood up, turned around and pushed Aunt Qing back.
"What?"
Just as his aunt was about to speak, a sudden change occurred, and there was a sound of cold water. Before Yu Sheng could turn around, something slippery grabbed his leg and dragged him toward the lake.
Yu Sheng instantly raised his other foot and let his body fly into the air. At the same time, he snapped his fingers with his left hand and the surrounding water instantly turned into ice.
Even the tongue-like thing grabbing his feet turned to ice, and the stiffness gave him a chance to breathe for the rest of his life.
The aunt's flying sword arrived in an instant and cut off the thing on Yu Sheng's feet, causing Yu Sheng to fall on the ice.
When he stood up and took a look, Yu Sheng found that what was grabbing his feet was a long tentacle, which was now forming a string of ice flowers.
As for the underwater part, it was also frozen, and Yu Sheng could hear the sounds of struggling in the distance. However, the ice was sealed by Yu Sheng, and the monsters in the water struggled in vain.
Yu Sheng walked towards the water, and with every step he took, the water beneath his feet instantly froze.
After Aunt Qing saw the fish lantern like a bean, Yu Sheng finally stopped and saw clearly the true form of the monster under the ice.
This thing looks like a squid, but it's so big that the tentacles that Aunt Qing cut off were only a very small part of its tentacles.
"After eating the bear's heart, the leopard becomes bold and dares to eat me." Yu Sheng squatted down and said to the big squid through the ice.
Standing on the shore, Aunt Qing was concerned about the rest of her life, "Come back quickly, be careful of another accident."
She had been staring at Yu Sheng so much that she didn't notice that her shadow on the cave wall on the shore was distorting under the fish lamp.
"For the sake of your name being fishy, I'll let you go for the time being, but don't even think about those squid tentacles."
Yu Sheng stood up and walked towards Aunt Qing with the tentacles chopped off from his back.
"Don't stay too far away from me, or I won't be able to save you if you are in danger." Seeing Yu Sheng approaching, Aunt Qing taught him a lesson.
Behind her, the shadow was getting bigger, twisting to the head of Aunt Qing's shadow, ready to move.
"Don't worry, I am the son of King Donghuang. No one can be my opponent in the water." Yu Sheng waved his hand.
The monster in Aunt Qing's shadow stopped, hesitated, and then quietly dispersed.
"Be careful with your ten thousand year ship." Aunt Qing muttered, seeing Yu Sheng carrying a large frozen tentacle on his back, "Why are you carrying it?"
"Grilled squid." Yu Sheng said, "Let you try the authentic sizzling squid."
"Yu?" Aunt Qingqing, the iron-plated squid, had never heard of it, but she heard it clearly. "Aren't you afraid of Lao Yu cheating... I'll come back and beat you up."
"That's just right, I still have to settle the score with him." Yu Sheng turned around and snapped his fingers towards the lake, and the ice disappeared immediately.
The squid is not a fish, and it was the person it attacked first. "Isn't it too much for me to eat its whiskers?"
"The squid on the sizzling plate is delicious." I will never forget to seduce my aunt for the rest of my life. "It tastes much better than the fish you ate for lunch."
"Go away, hurry up and hurry up." Aunt Qing kicked Yu Sheng on the road in shame, not knowing that the shadow they were looking for had already arrived.
It probably took them the rest of their lives to frighten the big squid, and as they circled the lake to the west, they never encountered another attack from the monster in the water.
They took a break and asked Yu Sheng to cut the so-called squid tentacles into evenly sized strips and marinate them with salt, ginger and other seasonings.
After a few steps on the road, the two stopped again:
A tall and large keel appeared in front of it, half under the water and half above the water, shimmering with phosphorescence surrounded by purple snails.
