Chapter 25 Chapter Eight: The Mountain Ghost Ambush

I wasted a lot of time at the third wife's house, and it took a lot of time to find the entrance of the Dragon Cave, so it was already very late when we entered the Dragon Cave.In the dark dragon cave, there was silence, as if it was a lifeless world of the dead.And in the darkness, there is still a human head suspended in the air waiting for us... On the way to the depths of the Dragon Cave, I lost my mind for a while and bumped my head. It was all because my mother made me a little taller, and almost broke my head.Zidie was afraid that I would hit my head again, so she took the powerful flashlight and walked ahead to take the lead. However, after she bypassed the stalactites that made me embarrassed, she screamed in horror.I thought she must have seen something terrible, but the stalactites blocked my view and I couldn't see what frightened her.So he hurriedly bent down to pass through the annoying stalactites in order to see clearly what was going on.

However, as soon as I bent down, I immediately smelled a disgusting stench.I am familiar with this smell, because every time I see Fleeting Nian, I can smell it from his body—it is the smell of decaying corpses.I couldn't help feeling panicked, thinking how could there be corpses in the dragon cave?The third woman said that the villagers would only enter the Dragon Cave to worship the Dragon King on the Dragon King's birthday, and no one would come in at ordinary times.It's useless to think too much, I'd better see it clearly, so I quickly passed through the stalactites, but I was immediately petrified by the picture in front of me.

What appeared in front of my eyes was a strange picture. The background of the picture was a dark cave, and there was a strange human head in the center, a human head suspended in the air.The highly decomposed human head has almost no epidermis, and even bones are exposed in some places, and the sparse and messy long hair hangs like weeds on the top of the head.The left eye has disappeared, leaving only a dark eye hole, and the eyelid of the right eye is gone, and the entire eyeball is exposed, as if it is looking at us angrily.The teeth without the protection of the lips are like the fangs of a wild beast, ready to attack us.

In the dark cave, I suddenly saw a human head suspended in the air. I think most people would be scared to death!I was so frightened that half of my soul was lost, and Zidie was no exception. She screamed and turned around and ran away. If I hadn't held her back, she would have greeted the stalactites with her head like I did.However, my kindness was not rewarded. She probably thought she was caught by a ghost, closed her eyes tightly, screamed and kicked me.Although I am often used as a sandbag by Zhen Zhen, I have not yet become a copper skin and iron bone!Poorly, the bandage I used to fix my right hand was still grabbed by her, and she pulled it back indiscriminately, almost strangling me to death.

"Calm down, calm down, cough cough, don't pull my bandage anymore, you're going to strangle me to death! Cough cough..." Fortunately, she finally let go before strangling me to death. She opened her eyes and glanced at the head, then screamed again, but instead of running away this time, she threw herself on me and hugged me tightly.The soft and elastic twin peaks are pressed against the chest, which feels so good, and the half-scared soul will come back immediately.Although I really want to let her continue to hug her, but this is not a safe place, especially after the weird head appears.

I patted her on the shoulder and whispered softly in her ear: "Don't be afraid, someone hung this head here on purpose." "Really, really?" She still hugged me tightly, and the fragrance of lavender in her hair penetrated into my nostrils, making me feel soft all over.Although she was in a dangerous situation, she was still able to surge adrenaline and had a physiological reaction, and the place where the reaction was still close to her virgin land. Fortunately, she didn't push me away in disgust, then slapped me and called me a hooligan.Women are all the same, no matter how strong they look, there will always be times when they are weak, and they always need a strong chest to rely on.

I took the flashlight from her hand and shone on the disgusting head. Although it was not very obvious, I could still see that the head was tied with a thin silk and hung on the stalactite in front of it.I encouraged her not to be afraid, and let her see clearly the hair hanging from the human head. She glanced timidly, and immediately buried her head in my chest, hugging me even tighter.Although it is known that the head was hung up by someone, it is scary enough to see a rotten head in such a mysterious place.However, what worries me at this moment is not the head, but the person who hangs it here.

The third wife didn't mention that there was a head hanging in the Dragon Cave. Although she hadn't been there in person, she had lived in the Dragon Cave Village for most of her life, so it was impossible not to know about it.In other words, this head should not have appeared here in the first place, but was deliberately hung up by someone in order to scare us away.The purpose of scaring us off is of course to prevent us from taking Longhe water for testing.And there is only one person who needs to stop us—the mountain ghost! Since the mountain ghost can hang his head here, there is no guarantee that he will use other methods to deal with us. Maybe he is hiding in a dark corner right now, waiting to attack us.I whispered in Zidie's ear, told her my thoughts, and emphasized that the mountain ghost might be hiding in the dragon cave.

Her body trembled slightly for a moment, but in the end she still firmly suppressed the fear in her heart and left from my arms.I suddenly felt a little lost, like an abalone that had entered my mouth suddenly fell to the ground.However, when I thought of Director Hua's sly smile, my disappointment disappeared immediately. Fortunately, I didn't do anything too much just now, otherwise I would never have escaped from Director Hua's Wuzhishan in this life. Zidie stubbornly glanced at her head, and dared not look any further.I originally wanted to take the head away to see if I could find clues, but I didn't have anything suitable to hold it on my body, so I couldn't just run around with it.Even if I'm willing to mention it, Zidie probably won't want to go with me.In desperation, I had no choice but to untie it and put it aside, and make plans after taking the Dragon River water.

Maybe it was frightened by the head. When I continued to go deep into the cave, Zidie first followed me closely, and then gently took my arm. When I reached the end of the dragon cave, my arm had already sunk into the gentleness again. .Damn mountain ghost, why don't you hang your head at the entrance of the cave and let me get more oil. The Dragon Cave is actually not that deep. Although the tunnel is winding, it is only about 50 meters from the entrance to the end.There is a stone step at the end, and on the step is a statue of the dragon king, which is about the height of an adult, with a dragon head and a body, wearing a green dragon robe, which is quite mighty.The ground has obviously been man-made and is very flat. Six meter-high candlesticks are erected in two rows in front of the dragon statue, and there are oil lamps on them, but the oil has already been lit.

Although the entire Dragon Palace is very simple, for a village with only a few hundred people, it is quite difficult to level the road. I think it should be built by the previous government.This is what those in power in feudal society are best at. Once natural and man-made disasters happen, they blame the gods. They don't seriously think about ways to improve, but build temples to appease the people.At that time, it was probably because the so-called Dragon King was killed by the landlord, and the people's grievances were unresolved for a while, so the local magistrate came up with the bad idea of ​​​​building the Dragon Palace to appease the people! The origin of the Dragon Palace has no way of investigation, and it has nothing to do with the case. The focus is only on whether the water in the Dragon River contains heavy metals.The Dragon River is on the right side of the Dragon King Statue. It is much wider than I imagined, at least three meters wide.The flowing water was gurgling, slow and steady, and the river water was very clear, but under the illumination of the flashlight, the bottom of the river could not be seen. I think the water depth should be no less than two meters.If I didn't find that disgusting head, I really want to swim in it.If I could swim naked here with Zidie... "Why don't you fill it with water?" Zi Die shook my arm uneasily, interrupting my reverie.Let's work first, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. After filling a bottle of river water with drink bottles, we were ready to leave.However, at this moment, there was a strange sound behind him, which seemed to be the sound of small stones rolling.Of course, stones will not roll for no reason, unless they are kicked by someone, and there should be no one else in the dragon cave except us, unless it is a mountain ghost! I suddenly remembered that the third wife had repeatedly told us not to look back when we left the Dragon Cave, especially Zidie, because the Dragon King would keep women behind once they turned around.Although the legend of the Dragon King's marriage is ridiculous, the rules left by the predecessors are somewhat reasonable. However, when I was about to tell Zidie not to look back and run out of the Dragon Cave in one breath, she had already turned her back and exclaimed: "There seems to be someone behind the Dragon King Statue!" Now that she has turned her head back, I'm going to go all out, and turn around and use a flashlight to shine on the Dragon King Statue.A black shadow flashed out from behind the Dragon King statue. Although it looked like a human, it landed on all fours and jumped into the darkness like a dog.The movement was so fast that I couldn't tell whether he was a human or a dog, but Zidie recognized him at a glance: "It's a mountain ghost, he was the one who raped the corpse last night!" Although the mountain ghost is right in front of me, I don't dare to rush forward to arrest him, because I don't even see him hiding there now.His night vision ability is obviously better than ours, and he should be very familiar with the terrain of Longdong. We can't take advantage of him here.So I took Zidie's hand and ran out, planning to escape from the dragon cave first.Anyway, there is only one entrance to the Dragon Cave. As long as you guard the entrance of the cave, you are afraid that you will become a fairy in the cave. Zidie and Zidie fled out of the cave in a hurry, and there were strange noises behind us from time to time, and they were chasing us like mountain ghosts.But the strange thing is that he seems to keep a distance from us deliberately, otherwise at his speed, he should be able to catch up with us very quickly.Halfway through, I almost hit my head again, and this time I kept an eye out, bending over to avoid the damn stalactite. With a sudden idea in my heart, I grabbed Zidie and whispered in her ear: "We will stay here and wait for the mountain ghost to come out." Although this location is also pitch black, the terrain is narrow and there are stalactites blocking the way. The ghost will definitely slow down when it passes by. If a powerful flashlight is used to shine on his eyes at this time, he must not be able to adapt to the sudden strong light, so he will be temporarily blind.As long as we can grasp the timing and handcuff him, then we can easily catch him. However, the reality did not go as smoothly as expected. We turned off the flashlight and waited for a while against the cave wall, but we didn't notice any movement. Could it be that the mountain ghost discovered our ambush?When I was wondering, I suddenly smelled a strange smell, which seemed to be the smell of diesel oil, coming from the entrance of the cave. Anyway, the mountain ghost should be aware of our ambush, and there is no need to continue to turn off the flashlight, so it shines the flashlight in the direction of the cave entrance.Because of the twists and turns of the tunnel, the entrance of the cave could not be seen, but liquid was seen flowing in along the ground.What is a liquid that smells like diesel but diesel?Sure enough, I immediately saw a light at the corner of the tunnel—the mountain ghost wanted to burn us to death! I didn't have time to think about why the mountain ghost who was still chasing after us just now suddenly poured diesel oil into the cave and set it on fire again, because I heard a low rumbling sound from the cave entrance, obviously something heavy rolled down from the cave entrance, even if it is a delay A second can also kill.He hurriedly grabbed Zidie and fled to the depths of the dragon cave, and the flame was chasing after him close to the ground.Although the fire is not very large, being surrounded by flames is a dead end, and a slow fire is much more painful than a fierce fire.What's worse, something that made a rumbling sound appeared behind us. It was a high-mish cylindrical iron-skinned diesel barrel. Judging by its rolling speed and the sound it made, it should be filled with diesel oil.Regardless of whether it will explode or not, just pressing it will kill people.Fortunately, the tunnel is tortuous, otherwise we would not be able to escape at all. Out of breath, he ran to the end of the dragon cave, and didn't even see the shadow of the mountain ghost. It seemed that he had seen a ghost, and he should be the one who set fire at the entrance of the cave.Zidie wanted to jump to the steps of the Dragon King to take shelter temporarily, but I grabbed her and jumped into the underground river together.Although the river water may be poisonous, the air in the Dragon Cave is not circulating. When the density of diesel vapor in the air reaches about 7%, it is likely to explode.It may be curable if it is poisoned, but it is definitely hopeless if it is blown into coke. However, after I fell into the water, I immediately regretted it. Why didn’t the river freeze? It’s even colder than the Cokes in foreign fast food restaurants. I wonder if Xiao Mu in his crotch will be frozen grow up again.Zi Die was not much better either, her face turned pale, and her lips turned purple like her name, like a purple butterfly that fell under the bridge of her nose. Shivering in the water was bad enough, but I didn't expect anything worse.The flaming diesel barrel rolled down and hit the steps at the foot of the Dragon King Statue. Although it did not explode, a large amount of diesel oil leaked out, and most of it flowed onto the river surface. It seemed that the entire river surface would burn immediately.Longevity God, is this mountain ghost locked in the stock market of PetroChina and Sinopec? How can it use diesel oil as tap water! Although we could dive into the water to avoid the flames on the river, we had to stick our heads out to breathe, and if we stayed any longer, we would either be burned or suffocated.In desperation, I had no choice but to dive into the water and explore to see if there was a way out. After all, the river is flowing and there should be a place for water to flow.Sure enough, after groping for a while, I found a smaller underwater cave at the end of the underground river. Although the opening of the cave is not big, it is still big enough for people to get in, but it is hard to say whether it will allow us to escape.Although I'm not sure it was the mountain ghost who set fire at the entrance of the cave, but we didn't see him when we ran back, so he must have left the dragon cave.Apart from the entrance, the dragon cave seems to be the only place where one can leave. Now there is no other choice but to take chances, so they dive into the bottom of the water with Zidie, trying to escape from the underwater cave.I hope you don't suffocate in it. After drilling into the hole, the fire on the water surface illuminated for a short period of time, but it soon became dark again.The powerful flashlight was broken the moment we fell into the water, and now we can only touch the cave wall with our left hand to explore the way.In fact, even if I can see clearly, I can only move forward in this way. My right hand was twisted by the purple butterfly, and it hurts when I move it. After walking underwater for about two minutes, I still haven't found the exit. I couldn't hold back anymore, and I began to feel dizzy and weak in limbs... Longevity God, I am not going to suffocate here!
