Chapter 11 Chapter 7 Golden Gate

I never thought that I would meet Huang Qiye, my grandfather's good friend during his lifetime, here. For me, if you encounter any landscape trends, you must carefully analyze it for me, and let me write it down one by one.When I met Huang Qiye, a master of the Yellow River like Huang Qiye, I gradually felt relieved, thinking that Huang Qiye would run across the Yellow River, and I will talk to him when I find a chance. The Yellow River Ghost Cave and other matters were also clarified. Along the way, Huang Qiye explained to me the ancient methods of dividing water and looking at mountains to find gold according to the water potential of the mountains along the way.He said, your Bai family is a faction of "dividing water" in Jinmen, and what you are looking for is the water and gold in the Yellow River.

How did this water gold come from?This natural gold is called raw gold. Raw gold is usually tightly wrapped in a large stone. After being exposed to the wind and the sun, the stone cracks and fine gold particles fall out from the cracks of the stone. These gold particles are like sand. , in granular form, it is called Jinsha.These golden sands began to be scattered on the mountain, and then flowed into the river with the torrents and rainwater, and followed the water, going farther and farther. This is the origin of the river gold. There is an old saying in Kinmen that "the river is straight without gold", which means that if the river is too straight, the gold sand in the water will be washed away by the Yellow River, and it will only settle at the bend of the river. The straight river cannot hold the gold sand.

He also pointed out to me which mountain to produce gold. The mountain that hides gold has a special shape, which is in the shape of an inverted ingot, and it also looks like a steamed bun.In the old Kinmen, this kind of mountain is called "Kuojin Mountain", which means that this kind of mountain is a cornucopia, and the underground is full of gold. So, what are we Yellow River craftsmen looking for? It is the golden vein under the Yellow River. You have to know that this golden jade is the essence of mountains and waters, and it is mostly hidden in deep mountains and rivers. However, these golden jades are also like food, they grow slowly from stones, called golden seedlings.At the beginning, the golden seedlings are just circles of gold patterns on the stone, and then they will slowly produce gold. The gold is as soft as cotton just after it grows, and it will harden after being exposed to the wind. It is the golden gold you see.We craftsmen rely on our skills of "dividing water to find gold" to find the golden seedlings in the Yellow River and find the original gold mine.

The theory of the Golden Gate is nothing more than observing mountains, dividing water, looking for golden threads, and finally finding the golden veins hidden in the mountains and deep waters. Guanshan is to look for the mountain that hides gold. As I told you just now, this mountain that hides gold has a special shape. It is in the shape of an inverted ingot or a steamed bun. This kind of mountain is most likely to produce gold. Tibetan mountains are beautiful, but it is difficult to distinguish water, which is a technical task. Distinguishing water is a gold mining term, which refers to how to find the gold vein along the direction of the gold line after finding the gold line.The gold is wrapped in the rock, and after being exposed to the sun and rain, the rock cracks and the gold sand flows into the water. When a knowledgeable person sees a grain of gold sand, he will follow the flow of the water and the veins of the river to find the gold thread.

The golden sand is the small golden sand in the water. Some places have more, some places have less. They are mixed in the river sand in the water. At night, if you hold a pine light and shine through the water, you can see a faint golden line at the bottom of the river, along the golden line. If you walk, you can find the golden pulse. Regarding the name of Jinmai, the official and folk names are also different, but they all have the same meaning.Officials often refer to gold veins as mineral veins, and folks often call them gold threads. If you find the gold thread, you will find the gold mine road. As long as you keep an eye on the gold thread and touch it all the way, you will not be far from the gold vein.

The five elements say "soil produces gold", gold must be born in the soil, but the "soil" that produces gold is particular, it must be granite, only granite can be a gold vein, and limestone will never produce gold.In addition to being born in granite, gold is also born in volcanic magma, because during the process of volcanic formation of rock mass, a considerable amount of energy will be generated. This huge energy can enrich the gold in the earth's crust, and often form gold veins. Follow the gold thread to find the gold veins. Gold veins are the gold patterns distributed on the rock surface by gold mines. Simply put, gold mines are hidden deep in the mountains. If the content is higher, and in some places the content is lower, the gold miners have to dig out the rocks, take some gold stones, and study the distribution of gold on them. The veins of the gold lines on the surface of these rocks are the gold veins.

Generally speaking, there are gold mines under the gold veins, but craftsmen are required to "observe the veins and locate", that is, to judge the location of the gold layers according to the veins and directions of the gold veins in the rock strata, and to see where it is most convenient to open mountains to find the gold layers. This gold layer is the gold ore. If you find the gold layer, you have dug out the gold mine. As for whether the gold mine is red or not, and how much gold it can produce, it depends on luck, and the "water deposit" of the craftsman. Got it. The test of "maid observation" is eyesight. Many people have worked hard to find the golden vein, but they can't find the golden layer after digging out half of the mountain. In the end, they lost all their money and jumped off the cliff to commit suicide.These things are all too common. On the road to search for gold, there are many bones, and the layers under the golden mountain are full of human bones.

After the gold ore is dug out, it is not finished. These are just raw gold, and the raw gold has to be refined to obtain dross before it can be regarded as real gold.This is very simple. There are many methods, including chemical methods and physical methods.Generally, an appropriate amount of mercury is added to the gold ore, and then the gold will stick to small pieces. These small pieces are baked on a charcoal fire to evaporate the mercury, and the rest is gold. I heard what Huang Qiye said, and compared the mountains and rivers along the way, I found that we walked casually, but in fact we were closely following the ancient method of dividing water to find gold. Walking along the gold-seeking road in the Yellow River, I also Some people can't hold it, are we going to mine gold this time or to find ghost coffins?Could it be that the ghost coffin also went straight to Jinmai?

After walking for a long time, Huang Qiye stopped the boat, let the monkeys dive into the water, covered the bottom of the boat with a white cloth, and banged a gong according to a strange rhythm.The sound of the gong became more and more urgent and louder. At this time, a lot of water splashes appeared under the water.Then a miracle happened, wherever the boat went, big fish jumped out of the water and jumped onto the boat desperately. The monkey and I picked up a lot of fish in a short while. Huang Qiye put down the gong and put away the white cloth covered under the boat, so the fish stopped jumping out.

He said that this method of catching fish is called "jumping white". It was originally an ancient fishing method by coastal fishermen. They painted the bottom of the boat white, and the fish would jump to the surface of the water when they were frightened by the white color.Later, they were learned by the "Qianyuan" school and created a special gong. According to a special rhythm, the underwater fish can't stand the temptation, jump out of the water, jump onto the boat, and be caught. .This method of catching fish is nothing, some secret methods of their "diving into the abyss" can even drive fish and turtles, omnipotent.

The monkey and I were astonished, but Huang Qiye said that each of the four veins of the Golden Gate has its own unique abilities.They "diving into the abyss" usually work in water caves and caves, and get close to fish, shrimp, turtles and turtles under the water, and they often know some techniques of controlling fish and catching turtles. Most of the "Lingyun" lineage are women. They understand the language of birds and can communicate with birds. They often use the power of birds when mining gold. Many birds like to collect gold, jade and jewelry. mine. The "Guanshan" school is good at digging holes in the soil, can distinguish whether there are gold veins underneath from the color of the soil, and is good at various civil engineering, often doing underground work.They not only searched for gold mines, but also found gold buried in underground tombs. Later, many descendants of this faction became professional tomb robbers. Your Bai family is good at attracting insects and repelling things. When your grandfather and I were besieged by wolves in the mountains, we used the secret method of dividing water to attract thousands of big rats in the mountains, and bit the wolves apart alive. The two were able to come out. Speaking of this, Huang Qiye proudly said that in fact, there are many places, such as the Tianqiao in Beijing, the old graves in Zhengzhou, the Sanwu in Tianjin, the monkey players in Xinye, Henan, the snake drivers in Yunnan, and many craftsmen repelling insects and driving eagles. The skills of the school are all passed down from the hands of our Jinmen, but most people in the world don't know this school. When I heard him say this, I just realized the profound knowledge of the Jinmen School. I didn’t expect that the Jinmen Four Schools are not only good at panning gold, but also have the secret art to control all things. This is really an ancient school of knowledge. After eating the fish, we continued to move forward, and the boat turned into a canyon along the ancient road of the Yellow River.Huang Xiaoli looked around and said, "Why does this place seem to be Taihang Mountain?" Huang Qiye said: "This is exactly the Eight Xings of Taixing." I don't know where the Taihang Eight Xings are. The monkey explained to me that the Taihang Mountains are the boundary mountains of Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan provinces. There are many forests and canyons in the Taihang Mountains. Xing refers to the eight canyons across the Taihang Mountains.Taihang Mountain had a high status in ancient times and was known as "the arm of the world", which means that whoever controls Taihang can win the world. Huang Xiaoli was a little puzzled. Aren't we going to look for the black meteor coffin in the ancient cave of the Yellow River? Why did we go to Taihang Mountain again? Huang Qiye said that for some reason, the black coffins turned into the water vein of Taihang Mountain here, as if someone took them away. Huang Xiaoli nodded, but did not speak. I also feel that something is wrong. We originally tracked down the whereabouts of the ghost coffin. The coffin rushed into the Yellow River. Although the Yellow River is full of water, it can't be like having eyes. It will also divert its route in the water and run to Taihang Mountain come.But since Huang Qiye said this, as my elder, I had no choice but to go along with him, saying that it is good to go to Taihang Mountain. We can just visit the Taihang Mountain Revolutionary Base, admire the demeanor of the seniors, and then wink hard at the monkey. The monkey had no choice but to say, go to the Taihang Mountains, or go to the Taihang Mountains, and smirked. Taihang Mountain has high mountains and deep valleys, many high cliffs and deep valleys. An ancient plank road is coiled in the high valleys, and some even cut through the mountains, winding and circling.I took a look and found that the ancient plank road was very narrow, and in many places it was barely possible for a single person to walk through it. Fortunately, we were walking underwater, otherwise the journey would have been hard enough. The boat traveled in the canyon for a while, and it was getting dark. The canyon was full of strange rocks and torrents everywhere. I always felt that there were strange fish hidden in the water of the Yellow River, and I dared not relax all the way.Huang Qiye stopped the boat at a slow beach and asked us to go ashore and find a family to rest our feet. We walked through the canyon, looking at the thick vines hanging from the cliff, the ancient plank road like sheep intestines, and the impenetrable trees on the mountain, we were also shocked.After walking for a while, I saw that the mountains and plains were all red. It turned out that there were many wild hawthorn trees on the mountain. At this time, the bright red hawthorn flowers bloomed, so the mountain was full of red. This village is an ancient village, all of which are in the ancient architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The tall houses and courtyards, with red walls and green eaves, are hidden in the deep mountains. If we didn't come all the way by water, it would be really difficult to find. The monkey went up and knocked on the door, but the door opened in response. We walked over and saw that the yard was empty, not to mention people, not even a chicken or a dog. Take the ancient Taishi chair.At this time, a gust of wind happened to blow, and the Taishi chair slowly shook, making a creaking sound. We all felt that there was something sinister about this place, but we couldn't tell what it was.At this time, Huang Qiye looked at the lintel, there were several marks of knife cutting on the lintel, his expression changed drastically at that time, and he shouted: "Go!" We didn't know what was going on, and we knew things were going to be different, so we hurriedly followed Huang Qiye and we heard no dog barking in the whole village, the wind was blowing through the woods, whining, and the doors kept opening and closing The weird sound of creaking and creaking. We walked along the river for a while, came to a village, found a family, showed them our ID, gave them a few catties of food stamps, asked them to get something to eat and drink, and planned to have a good time. take a break. The owner of this household, surnamed Liu, is an honest farmer. At that time, he read our ID, took the food stamps, and busily arranged for us to eat.When I washed my face, I saw him stepping on a stool to get the bacon. The bacon was hung from the eaves with an iron hook. After he took the bacon off, he buried the iron hook in the soot under the pot.I looked strange, and he explained to me that the local people think this iron hook is a weapon of great evil, and the ghosts in the Temple of Hades use it to hook people's souls. If the hook is empty, it cannot be hung on the tree, otherwise the hook It will hook the souls of passers-by, and it needs to be exposed to the scorching sun for a day to dry out the yin energy.It was already late today, so he buried the hooks in the ash at the bottom of the pot first, to suppress the yin, and went to dry the hooks when it was dawn. Old man Liu had been busy for a long time, stewed the dried mountain pork until it was pulpy, and served it in a three-legged black pot.The monkey was a little surprised when he saw the guy who served the rice. Whose pot had long legs, and it still had three legs. He scraped off the black ash on the outside with a stone, but found that it was not an ordinary iron pot, but an ancient bronze tripod. There are some inscriptions carved on the body of the tripod. The monkey hurriedly asked, fellow, where did you get this pot? The fellow rubbed his hands and laughed, saying that the pot was fished up from the bottom of the water. He said that their village is adjacent to the Taihang Mountain Canyon, and there is water everywhere. The big water goes round and round around the big water, and a big waterfall is formed downstream. Under the big waterfall, there is a deep pool called Hei. Longtan.The water in the Black Dragon Pool is unbelievably deep, and there are strange things in it. He said that there used to be people herding sheep near Heilongtan, and there were only a few sheep every day. He suspected that the sheep had been eaten by something in the water.He found a few people and made a large circle of hemp rope. An iron hook was tied under the hemp rope, and a piece of ox bone was tied to the iron hook, and it sank to the bottom of the water.As a result, the coil of rope was finished, and the iron hook hadn’t reached the end yet. When everyone pulled the rope out, the ox bone was bitten by something. Several people held on tightly and stood there until the rope broke free. .Since then, no one has dared to go there again. Speaking of which, this Black Dragon Pool is quite wicked. No matter how hot it is, when you touch the water pool, you will feel as if you are hugging an ice cube. It is icy cold. No matter how dry the weather is, Black Dragon Pool has never been dry. Everyone It is said that there must be somewhere under the Black Dragon Pool, maybe it leads to the East China Sea Dragon Palace. This happened last month, I remember it clearly.The sun was so poisonous that day that I peeled off a layer of skin. After returning home and eating, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.I slept until the middle of the night, when I heard gurgling noises outside, I probed to look, and the sky outside was extremely red.At first I thought there was a fire, and I wanted to go down to fight the fire. At this moment, I heard a bang in the Black Dragon Pool, as if the sky had collapsed, and I fell off the bed! I thought it was the Grandpa Dragon King in the Black Dragon Pool who had appeared, so how could he dare to show his face again.When it was light on the next day, I went out to see that there was a big opening under the Black Dragon Pool. The strange thing was that there were many big fish around the big opening, which were as long as a foot. that big hole.Someone tied a hemp rope around his waist and sneaked into the water hole to find the baby. In the end, he was frightened to death and said that there was nothing in there, but a big black coffin. He was too scared to look again, so he hurried back up. I heard him talk about the black coffin, and wondered if this black coffin might have any connection with the black coffin we were looking for. I looked at Huang Qiye, and he gave me a wink to keep me quiet. I will continue to listen to him. He said, later we secretly hired a blind fortune-teller, and the blind man went to the Black Dragon Pond to explore the water, and said that this was the black dragon manifesting his holiness, and something big was about to happen. He told us that according to ancient books, there were two visions in this Black Dragon Pool: one was when the traitor Wu Sangui let the Tartars enter the customs, ruining our Han Dynasty; the other was when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China and occupied our the imperial city.After these two incidents, visions appeared in Heilongtan. Some people saw the water boiling in the middle of the night, and many thread-bound ancient books floated up from the bottom of the water. An ancient house could be vaguely seen under the water, which read "Changshan Zhao Zilong's Treasure House" ".See, as I said earlier, if you don't respect gods and Buddhas, big troubles are about to happen in the world! When we heard him say this, we knew that he was getting confused again, so we stuffed him with a cornbread and gagged his mouth.Then I went to look at Rare and found a lot of things leaking from the cracks, including white bowls and ancient swords. The monkey knocked on the big cauldron with his hand, glanced at it casually, and suddenly let out a cry of surprise, and stopped still. I asked him: "What's the matter, can you still see flowers on this dark little cauldron?" The monkey shook his head and said, "No, I thought it was a big copper tripod at first, but I didn't expect it to be an iron one." I pouted and said, "You don't care if he's an iron guy or a copper guy, as long as he can eat!" After eating, the monkey ignored me, went out with the big iron tripod to wash it off with well water, looked at it under the lamp for a while, and then called me: "Old Bai, Lao Bai!" I said, "What are you doing?" The monkey said, "Come here and have a look at the patterns on the tripod. Why are they so familiar?" I went over and looked and didn't see any difference.Instead, he said to Huang Xiaoli who came over: "Hey, why is this pattern similar to that on the big tripod in the Yellow River?" The monkey nodded and said, "That's right, look at this pattern, this relief, it's the same as that ancient tripod!" I watched it for a long time while sucking my teeth, and I also said that this iron guy is really a bit evil, how can it not rust after soaking under the water for so long? The monkey thought for a while and said, "If this ancient iron does not rust, then there are two possibilities." I asked him, "Which two possibilities?" The monkey said: "One is that objects made of meteorite iron will not rust, and the other is that adding a certain proportion of gold and silver when casting iron will not rust. Like the Jinci Iron Man, it has not rusted for so many years. It is said that it is because of the Contains a certain proportion of gold and silver." I said, "To cast a large iron vat and add gold and silver to it, the cost is too high." The monkey said: "It's good to add gold and silver, but it's troublesome if it's for refining meteorite." Huang Xiaoli also asked him: "What is the difference between this meteorite refining and ordinary iron?" The monkey said: "Generally speaking, ironmaking uses a large bellows, with charcoal or coke inside, and the temperature can reach up to 700°C. Generally, the grass iron used in ironmaking will be melted in ten minutes, but at this temperature, At most, the meteorite was burnt red and could not be melted at all. When the steel was being smelted, all the people went to mine. On a hillside in Guangxi, a lot of broken trees were found, and there were many deep pits in the ground. Everyone dug deep When I looked at the pit, it was full of dense meteorites, and we put these meteorites into the steel-making furnace, and after seven days and seven nights of refining, there was no drop of molten steel." I said, "That's not right. Isn't it said that your ancestors' fish intestine sword and Longquan sword were also made of meteorite?" The monkey said: "Don't worry, I only said that this meteorite is difficult to refine, but I didn't say that it can't be refined. There is an ancient recipe for refining meteorites in our house. Add some limestone, straw powder, and some white vinegar to the meteorite. , to 'raise' this meteorite, so that it can be melted when it is burned again." Huang Xiaoli and I also felt that this meteoric iron is really difficult to smelt. I really can't think of how the black meteoric coffin is so big, how it was smelted. After talking for a while, we each went to rest. Before going to bed, I suddenly remembered something. The flowing water of the Yellow River ghost cave has a sour smell, and the ground is also covered with a thick layer of white ash. According to the monkey, the ancient cave is a bit like a large furnace for smelting meteoric iron in ancient times.I wondered wildly, if the ancient mulberry garden was regarded as a pile of firewood, and the dark hole found under the water by the brain shell was a stove for filling firewood, and the whole mountain was a big melting furnace, would the things refined in the melting furnace be What about the huge ancient tripod hanging from the bottomless abyss? Thinking about it this way, I also think it is too nonsense. Using the mountain as a furnace and using trees as firewood is really a fairy way.After thinking about it for a while, I gradually became confused, and I don't know when I fell asleep. The next day, we analyzed it. There must be a secret passage or an ancient building under the Black Dragon Pool, or even an ancient tomb. It was because that thing collapsed that such a gap appeared.We all suggested to go to Heilongtan to have a look, maybe we could pick up some good things, but Huang Qiye suggested to go to the Fox Fairy Cave first. That old man Liu heard that we were going to the Fox Fairy Cave, and he refused to take us there. He said that the Fox Fairy Cave was a famous evil place nearby, and the local people said that there was a demon cave where the remnants of the White Lotus Sect lived.The Devil's Cave is a large hole in the mountain. A shepherd went in once, and he was frightened to death. He said that it was just like what the storyteller said. People's killing pits, when cutting firewood on the mountain, you can still see the flagpole kiln built of stones.This place, grandpas, is the place where heavenly soldiers and generals go, we mortals really can't go there! We had no choice but to ask him for the route, and a few people punted past. Before leaving, Huang Xiaoli asked casually, "What's the name of the village in front of you? Why is there no one there?" The man said in shock: "You actually went to Fengmen Village?!" I said, "That village is called Fengmen Village?" The man said with emotion: "It wasn't called Fengmen Village before, but after that incident, it was changed to Fengmen Village." The monkey also asked, "Why is their village sealed off? Could it be that they have leprosy?" The man sighed, "Speaking of which, it's really a crime!" He said that the village in front was originally called Xiucai Village.Fengshui is good there. Since the Ming Dynasty, every generation has produced a few scholars. It is true that every family is prosperous and the population is prosperous.Who knew that there was a rogue named Yuan San before the liberation, and this Yuan San was deceived and deceived all day long, ignorant and incompetent.Later, for some unknown reason, I contracted a strange disease, with pustules the size of bowls all over my body, and I was writhing in pain all day long.At this time, a blind fortune-teller passed by. The blind man knew the art of the Book of Changes and could use cattail grass to tell fortunes. Run up, and after you fall, grab a piece of grass in your hand and swallow it raw, it will cure your poison. Yuan San didn't believe it at first, so he scolded the blind man. Later, he couldn't open his eyes because of the pain, so he ran to the Taihang Mountain at night, touched a handful of grass after he fell, squeezed his nose, and swallowed it into his stomach. .Unexpectedly, after a while, I felt that the pustules on my body did not hurt so much, and my eyes could be opened.Looking left and right, I saw a golden light shining in a cave in front of me, and a white fox was sitting in the cave swallowing red pills.He lay down in the grass and waited for the fox fairy to leave, and he quietly touched the cave, only to find that the cave was full of gold. This Yuan San was usually used to being savage, but at that time he became obsessed with ghosts, not only took all the gold from the fox fairy cave, but also set fire to the fox fairy cave, and ran away overnight with the gold and silver. Think about it, this fox fairy saw it, but he was able to pay it back. He searched for Yuan San and couldn't find it, so he cast a spell, causing the family at the entrance of the village to suffer disasters, and all eight members of the family died.After the death of this family, it's not over yet, there are still accidents in this village, sometimes accidents happen to the east family, and sometimes accidents happen to the west family, the villagers have no choice but to go and beg the old blind man.The old blind man made another divination with cattail grass, sighed, and said that God's will is unstoppable, the thirty-seventh generation of descendants of the fox fairy lived in the fox fairy cave, all of them were sincere cultivators, and they were all burned by this fire. died. Right now, the fox fairy is furious and has sued the heavenly court. He would rather destroy the thousand-year-old Taoism than let your scholar village pay for his life!Immortal Da Luo can't save you right now, this village has become a "Fengmen Village" and can no longer be lived in, so you should move out as soon as possible.The meaning of this door closure is that there is a fox fairy who wants to seal this village to extinction. Men in this village will not be able to marry wives, and women will not be able to have children until the village is completely extinct.If someone violates this point and wants to marry a wife and have children, then the family will inevitably suffer repeated disasters until the family dies. The owner of the household said that as soon as the news got out, no one would dare to marry, and everyone in the village discussed moving out. As a result, the first family in the village did not believe in evil, and married a girl from Chuichuidada in another village. Within seven days, all the members of the family were completely dead, and finally the girl also stood on the grand teacher's chair and hanged herself from the beam. You are outsiders, so you don’t know anything about it. It’s the custom here that if someone dies at home, cut a gap with a kitchen knife on the lintel. Go and see, which family there doesn’t have two or three knife gaps on the lintel. That place is so evil! Only then did we understand why Huang Qiye's face changed drastically when he looked at the lintel and told us to withdraw quickly. It turned out that there was such a saying. The Fox Fairy Cave is on a hill next to Fengmen Village. It is a naturally formed ancient cave. Outside the cave, circles were painted with white powder. The entrance of the cave is as tall as a person. Inside is a clay statue of a fox fairy, which has peeled off. Yes, there are some old incense sticks on the ground, and some cakes and pig heads on the incense table, which have already turned black and deteriorated. As soon as I got close to the entrance of the cave, I could smell a strong fishy smell. The ancient cave was oozing cold air, it was gloomy, and there was a lot of newly dug out sand piled up at the entrance of the cave, and there were many bones mixed in the sand. The monkey took a step back and said, "Why does this look like a wolf's den to me, brothers, hurry up and copy the guys!" I thought the cave was a bit weird, so after consulting Huang Qiye, I tied a few torches with the monkey, lit them, and walked into the cave carefully. After walking not far, the cave opened up, and after shining the torch on the left and right, it was discovered that the Fox Fairy Cave turned out to be a large karst cave.There are many strange-shaped stalactites in the cave, illuminated by torches, shining, as if entering the legendary secret cave of treasure. Walking to the end, Huang Xiaoli found that there was another deep pit in the cave. This pit was obviously dug later. There was a large pile of sand and stones outside the cave. The sand and stones were covered with bones of various shapes. These bones were mixed with sand and stones. Together, it seems to have become one. I was looking down, and suddenly felt a chill on my neck. Before I recovered, I heard Huang Xiaoli screaming from behind. I was startled, and when I looked back, Huang Xiaoli was staring at a big rock in a daze.I took a look, and there was a pattern carved on the stone. I don't know how many years the stone has been, and the stone wall has peeled off, but I can still vaguely see that the pattern is a small black beast, which looks like a reptile. Like a human again, sitting on a big rock, shaking a purple bell with its paws, looking up at the sky. When I looked at this painting, I also felt a little weird, but I couldn’t describe it. How can I describe that feeling, just like you would be surprised when you saw a fox make a human expression.But to be honest, this is just a stone carving. Is Huang Xiaoli so nervous? I saw something was wrong with her, and just wanted to ask her what was wrong, but she untied a pendant from her neck and showed it to me.The pendant was heavy, and it was slightly cold in the hands, and a chill ran up the fingertips.At first I thought it was jade, but after touching it repeatedly, I realized it was wrong, it was actually a statue of agarwood, this agarwood has been handed down for many generations, it has been rubbed into jade, it feels like a piece of ancient jade. I have seen old walnuts that have been handed down for three generations. The walnuts have been coiled for many years. The human body’s essence and blood have entered the walnuts and have turned into stones. However, this is the first time I have seen this jade-shaped agarwood. The ancients often said "Shen Tanlong Musk", this "Shen" refers to agarwood.Agarwood was listed as the top of all incense by the ancients.It is mixed with agglomerates such as resin, and the more resin, the better the quality, and it will be heavier.The ancients often tested agarwood with water to classify their grades. Those who sank immediately after entering the water were called "Shen Shui Xiang"; Agarwood was called "a piece of gold" in ancient times and was very precious.First of all, only decades-old incense trees can form agarwood, and it takes many years from fruiting to maturity. After agarwood matures, there are very few top-grade agarwoods, so top-grade natural agarwood is almost priceless.The pendant like Huang Xiaoli is not big, but it is heavy and lustrous, and it smells a profound fragrance. Although I don't know the price, it is estimated that it will be about the same price as a diamond of the same size. But what shocked me even more was the portrait engraved on the pendant. The carving on this pendant turned out to be a huge three-eyed reptile. The reptile had all four limbs and was lying in the pool, looking a bit like a salamander.I suddenly thought, the oddities on this pendant are 70% similar to the things on the stone wall. This thing is rather weird.Because of its special fragrance and material, agarwood is mainly used to carve some Buddhist-related objects, such as rosary beads, Buddha statues, etc., as well as spices for worshiping and bathing Buddha, but it has never been heard of using agarwood wood to carve monsters. Huang Xiaoli said: "Look, the things on my pendant are the same as the things on this stone wall!" I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, and there were indeed some similarities between the two things, except that the big reptile on Huang Xiaoli's jade pendant was more primitive, and the one carved on the stone wall seemed more spiritual, as if it had been domesticated. I am also secretly surprised, is there any relationship between the two? The monkey also came over to have a look, and said what's the matter, there are everything carved on the stone, and it's fashionable to wear fox pendants in his hometown in southern Fujian! I said, "That's different. There is a custom of offering sacrifices to fox spirits in southern Fujian. It is said that fox spirits can bring luck in wealth and love. I think you should wear one if you miss your wife all the time." I took a light with the torch again, and found that there was a cave behind the stone statue, which was not only big, but also very deep.A few logs were erected inside to make a very simple ladder. When I stepped down the wooden ladder, I found two big holes at the bottom, which were eerie, and I didn't know where it led.I tried it, but the hole was too narrow, so the monkey could only get in to explore it. The monkey went in for a while, and said in a low voice that the hole was getting bigger and bigger, and there was still a hole down, and then suddenly stopped making a sound.I thought something happened to him, so I called him desperately. After a while, he came out with a gray face, saying that the hole was too evil. Halfway down the road, I saw a thick layer of human bones and slaps inside. Big poisonous scorpion, he didn't dare to go in, so he came back quickly. Huang Qiye nodded and waved for us to go out. Huang Xiaoli was still curious about the cave, and kept asking the monkey about the situation in the cave, and the monkey faltered there, as if thinking about something.Huang Qiye said that this fox fairy cave is actually an ancient tomb hidden deep in the mountains, and it is definitely not a wolf den. You can see the circles painted with white powder on the stone wall, that is to prevent wolves.Wolves are suspicious by nature. When they saw white circles, they thought it was a trap, so they dared not enter the cave.Maybe because of an earthquake or a landslide, a hole opened up on the mountain, revealing the burial pit inside, which was discovered by tomb thieves. You can see that there are bones everywhere in the cave, which are the bones of people who died when the tomb was repaired. The tomb robber was afraid that the news would leak out, so he bribed the rogue Yuan San to pretend to be a ghost in the Fox Fairy Cave and spread rumors. The fishy smell in the cave was all made by people.Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was the tomb robbers who killed people to silence them. The rumors of the fox fairy killing people became more and more popular, and finally the whole village moved out. . Only then did we suddenly realize that we asked Huang Qiye, could the Black Dragon Pool be related to this tomb? Huang Qiye nodded. The tombs of the Tang Dynasty were all built from mountains. Under the Taihang Mountain, surrounded by four dungeons, the depth of the Taihang Mountain is also a rare and good cave.There is no doubt that the black dragon pool is also the living water drawn from this ancient tomb. The monkey kept his head sullen and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. We walked in a different direction this time. The waterway is obviously much more dangerous. There are big water and sharp rocks all the way, deep pools and canyons, and there are big trees hugging thickly on the edge of the canyon, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.We walked through this deep mountain canyon, as if we were a few ants on the big water. Huang Xiaoli looked at the terrain, and then carefully at the river, her face changed drastically, and she said, "This is not the Taihang Mountains, but the Guji River." I asked her, "What is Jishui?" Huang Xiaoli said: "That is a big river that has disappeared for hundreds of years." I said, "It has disappeared for hundreds of years, why did it reappear?" Huang Xiaoli said with a strange expression: "Jishui is famous for its underground river. Half of the water is above the ground and half is underground. It is said that the foot of Taihang Mountain is hollow, and there is a big dark hole inside. Jishui flows through the dark hole. No one knows what's really going on in this cave." Huang Qiye also had a solemn face, saying that this is indeed Gujishui, and he has never been here, but he has only heard of it.It is said that the big water here leads to the sea eye, and it is also a taboo for boats. It is unpredictable. Every year when the Yellow River floods, many evil objects will come out here, including big snakes as thick as water tanks, and big water monsters that swallow cows and pigs. , a large fish with a strange shape.Our trip is very dangerous, let us all be careful. But we didn't find anything weird at all, at least it was much more normal than the blood vats and dzi beads we encountered when we came.只有黄七爷小心翼翼把握着小船，有时候会朝水下撒一些米酒、鸡血，甚至是硫黄粉，有时候则是小心翼翼绕过一片看似很平静的水域。 行了没多远，前面就出现了一个巨大的峡谷，峡谷中蛇道蜿蜒，小船在峡谷中徐徐而行，行不多远，就听见前面声震十里，走近一看才知道，原来山谷中形成了一个落差几十米的瀑布，瀑布直直砸下来，声势震天。 那瀑布两边皆是上千米高的悬崖，悬崖上铺下来一层厚厚的藤蔓，像是一面巨大的绿墙。远远望去，只见绿墙白水，深潭峡谷，看起来就像是座古代的城堡。 黄七爷告诉我们，这瀑布下的深槽狭长幽深，水急风大，所以船行至此，只能经人抬过壶口再入水续航，这就叫做“旱地行船”。据说在“旱地行船”时，会看到瀑布下冒出的丝丝缕缕水烟，叫做云中水，雾中龙。说的是从瀑布下走过时，会看到水中烟雾缭绕、雾气腾腾，云雾之中就能看到一条白龙在那舞动。大家就传说这瀑布下就是龙穴，是黄河大王修行的地方，船行到这里，就要从岸上绕过去，不能打扰了黄河大王的清修。 我们几人都很向往这旱地行船，想着见见那雾中之龙，黄七爷却寻了个地势稍缓处，停下船，让我们下了船。 黄七爷施展古法，捉了条黄河鲤鱼，又掏出瓶烧酒，几个人坐在岸边喝酒，第一杯酒照规矩要敬给黄河大王，然后各自干了，辣得黄晓丽直吐舌头，惹得我们哈哈大笑。 黄七爷却没有笑，他看着外面滔滔的江水，多饮了几杯，突然有些伤感了，跟我们说起了一些陈年旧事。 他说，金门后人要是选定了做手艺人，在学习完采金手艺后，便要按照金门规矩，在黄河上游历满七年方能回家。手艺人在黄河游历，多从河套平原开始，也就是从宁夏下河沿到内蒙古河口镇，这里是著名的引黄灌区，自古有“黄河百害，唯富一套”一说，说的就是这河套平原河床平缓，水流缓慢，是黄河少有平缓的河道。 不过黄河被称为中华第一大凶河，险滩鬼道不计其数，比如青海龙羊峡到宁夏青铜峡的峡谷段，三门峡至桃花峪区间的小浪底，还有黄河壶口瀑布等黄河段，都是著名的黄河险段，但是黄河任何一段，也抵不过黄河源来得势猛。 他说，自己当年实在是太年轻，总想着要做别人没有做过的事情，竟然违反了金门禁忌。金门既然是手艺人，当然也要有自己的规矩，对外说金门祖师爷是马小三，采金时要放置马三爷灵位，其实根本不是。 你看我们采金时什么都不带，只带一只龙骨碗，就知道，其实咱们金门的祖师爷大有来头，只是一直作为金门最大的一个秘密，并没有公布出来。经他多方打探，终于了解到，金门祖师爷的秘密就在黄河的源头之处，所以金门最大的一个禁忌就是，不准任何人去黄河源，更不要说追查祖师爷的真正身份。 黄七爷说他当时年少气盛，得知这个秘密后，便打算亲自去黄河源，去查查金门祖师爷的究竟。路过兰州黄河古道时，有人从河底挖出来了只大龟壳，有井盖那么大，龟壳上长有数寸的绿毛，在龟甲上还系了一块金牌，镌着几行古怪文字，他重金买下龟壳，找人鉴定了一下，说这是古西域一个偏远小国的文字，说这只大龟被一根大铁链子拴在了昆仑山上的一根大石笋下，那国主去昆仑山祭祀，将其救下，并在黄河源中放生了。龟甲上的那块金牌，记录的就是这个事情。 那时候，大家都知道黄河发源自青海，但是源头究竟在哪里，没人说得清楚。我当时查阅了大量古籍，发现古人也以黄河为尊，并对黄河进行过考察。、《尔雅》说黄河出自昆仑山，是昆仑精脉所化；《尔雅·释水》说“河出昆仑，色白，所渠并千七百一川，色黄”；唐宋则将星宿海称为黄河源。 黄七爷分析了一下，黄河源一定在青海腹地，那里有万山之祖昆仑山，神秘的巴颜喀拉山，高大的布尔汉布达山，山下是盆地以及大片的沼泽，据说黄河源就是那高山雪水化成的花海子，也称为星宿海。 也有人说，这星宿海上还有断断续续的黄河水，叫做扎曲、约古宗列曲和卡日曲，走到这些河流的尽头，才是真正的黄河源。 黄七爷说，他先去了青海，从青海贵德龙羊峡出发，穿过龙羊峡，绕过阿尼玛卿山和西倾山，过鄂陵湖、扎陵湖、星宿海，一直达到了黄河的源头卡日曲。这当中的艰难简直无法言说，黄河水奔腾在三四千米的高原上，沿河多是沼泽、草滩，有古怪的虫茧、神秘的人敛，还有闻所未闻的水怪、高原特有的起尸，真是九死一生。 他眯着眼睛看着黄河水，说，伢子，那日子苦呀！我当时走在茫茫黄河上，往前看不到路，往后也看不到路，只有黄河在那哗哗流着，流了几万年了。我就躺在黄河滩上，看着黄河水，看着昆仑雪山，在那琢磨着自己到底图什么，为什么偏要找到黄河源。 当时我就看着昆仑山，这昆仑山是万山始祖，古人说天下龙脉，皆出自昆仑，是神仙居住的地方，黄河又是流淌着的中国的血。这黄河源竟然和昆仑山扯上了关系，我总觉得有些神秘，让我忍不住继续寻找下去。 再后来，我遇到了一个和我一样执著寻找黄河源的人，这人就是白石头的爷爷，白淼。我们两个都是金门后人，少年意气，当时便结为兄弟，在昆仑山上整整寻找了三年。最后，最后却怎么也想不到，最后的结局竟然是那样…… 黄七爷苦笑了一声，拿起烧酒咕咚咕咚饮尽了，将瓶子抛到黄河中，瓶子很快被冲走了，再也看不见了。 黄晓丽托着腮帮子听得出奇，猴子也是瞪大了眼睛，想知道他们在黄河源究竟遇到了什么，为什么当年纵横黄河的黄七爷，竟然变成了黄河上默默无闻的水鬼。 黄七爷喝完酒，站了起来，淡淡说了一句：“我们当时整整寻找了三年，才发现，黄河源只是一处小水洼，和金门根本没有任何关系。金门最大的秘密，其实就是个骗局。”他走了出去。 我们三人面面相觑，都接受不了这个结局，本指望黄七爷会告诉我们一个关于黄河的惊天秘密，没想到这样一句话就结束了。 黄七爷既然不愿说，我们也不好说破，我跟猴子胡扯了几句，就伸了伸懒腰走出船舱。这时天色已晚，一轮圆月悬在空中，黄河中起了一层薄雾，烟雾迷蒙，我们的小船仿佛飘在了天空中。周围很静，黄河哗哗流淌着，远处仿佛传来了悠扬的笛声，到处都是河水和青草的味道。 这时候黄河边温馨极了，也安静极了，我不由走上岸，在一块温暖的白石上坐下，看着静静的河水。 黄晓丽也走了出来，先在河边站了一会儿，也过来和我坐在了一起。 我看着这姑娘，雾气下来了，不知道是不是因为冷，她的肩膀微微发颤。我看着她消瘦的肩膀，高傲的前额，心中也是一颤。这姑娘本该在家中喝茶读书，现在却跟我们像野人一般漂在黄河上，也实在是难为了她。 我本想脱件衣服给她，却发现自己浑身上下也就一件破衬衣，要是给了她，非得被说成耍流氓不可。于是便在那没话找话说：“丫头，我听说你父亲是四野的大头头，你怎么来我们这个鸟不拉屎的地方了？” 黄晓丽没有说话，她看着黄河，过了好久，她转过头来，定定地看着我，看得我心里有些发毛，在那不停搓着手，也不知道该说什么好。 黄晓丽这时候一个字一个字对我说：“我要是说，来这里是为了你，你信不信？” 我身子一抖，差点跌进黄河里，结结巴巴地说：“小黄，黄晓丽同志……我……毛主席说过'不以结婚为目的的谈恋爱，都是耍流氓'，我妈让我响应号召，晚婚晚育，要三十岁才能结婚，你可不要让我对你耍流氓呀！” 黄晓丽忽然笑了，笑得很忧伤，良久，她认真地对我说：“老白，你和他就一点不同，你这个人太好了。” 我有些摸不着头脑：“我比他好？他又是谁？” 我还琢磨她这句话的意思，她却转身上船了，我看着雾气笼罩下的黄河，觉得黄晓丽这几句话，像这雾气中的黄河一样神秘。 这丫头，我怎么越来越看不透她了。 猴子自己在船舱中，就着那条鱼，把半瓶烧酒都喝光了，这时候醉醺醺出来，大手一挥，说今日月色正好，他要爬到对面的山上，对月吟诗。说完就跌跌撞撞往前走，要不是我从后面扶住他，他非得摔一个大跟头不可。 猴子醉得身子东倒西歪的，我小心扶着他，劝他赶紧回去睡觉，他却偏不听，非得拉着我去山上看月亮。 我没办法，只好扶着他去爬山，也好让他死了心。 这时候月亮已经升起来了，月光照在黄河上，满河碎金，峡谷中的大石头不知道被水淹了多少次，都是光溜溜的大石蛋蛋，像一只只卧在河边的巨兽。 我扶着猴子，顺着那山上的小道深一脚浅一脚走着。这时那黄河上的雾气越来越浓，像要淹没我们一般。两个人小心在山上走着，怕哪一脚看不见踩空了，就摔下去了。 刚过了山梁，猴子身子一直，迅速回头看了看，一把拉着我坐下。 看他那个样子，哪像是一个喝醉的人？ 我正摸不清他怎么了，猴子却压低声音，严肃地对我说：“老白，黄七爷有问题！” 我还以为他喝多了，他却斩钉截铁地告诉我，他一滴酒也没喝，他把酒偷偷倒掉了，故意在身上淋了一些，好引我来这里。 我见他神色凝重，忙问他怎么了？ 他坐下身子，看着下面奔腾的河水，说他下午进了那个古洞，发现那个古洞大不一般，开始里面全是人骨头，后来又发现一个大洞，但是被大石头给堵住了，不知道通往哪里。 我咧嘴道：“就因为这个，你就说黄七爷有问题？” 猴子接着说：“我当时扒开几块石头偷偷一看，发现那石头底下压着一根小胳膊粗细的铁链子，直勾沟通往那大洞底下。” 我惊道：“那山洞中有铁链子？” 猴子点点头。 我说：“那不对呀，这黄河上有铁链子就罢了，山洞里怎么也有铁链子？” 猴子点点头说：“老白，给你看一个我在古洞里发现的东西。” 他从裤兜里掏出一个东西给我看，那是根很细的银链子，显然已经戴了很多年，失去了从前的光泽，下面拴着个十字架。 这东西我认识，这是耶稣教会戴的十字架，我在北京时见长胡子牧师就戴着这玩意，这东西怎么跑到狐仙洞里了？ 猴子说：“这个外国人的东西，我们先不管他，我再给你看一个东西。” 他又掏出来一个东西，是一个粗牛皮缝制的烟袋，散发着一股带点鱼腥气的烟草味。 我看着这粗牛皮袋子有些眼熟，总觉得好像在哪里见到过。我想了又想，我们在古桑园找到的那袋金沙，好像就是用这种粗牛皮缝制的袋子装的，不过好像不对。我拍了拍脑袋接着想，猛然想起来，这个，这个不就是黄七爷随身带着的烟袋吗！ 我看着猴子，猴子也盯着我，谁也没有说话。 我还有些不敢相信，想起黄七爷说过，他的旱烟也是一种暗器，可以发射吹针。我打开烟袋看了看，烟袋除了一些烟叶外，还有一个夹层，夹层中放着几枚长长的银针。 我一下子愣住了，黄七爷竟然也进入过狐仙洞？ 猴子冷笑着：“这个黄七爷，他把我们都给骗了！” 我说：“这个烟袋是不是黄七爷刚才进洞时掉的？” 猴子说：“你别忘了，当时那个洞太小，只有我才能钻进去，我进去就发现了这些东西。” 我心中一阵慌乱，说：“这……这是怎么回事？” 猴子说：“怎么回事？黄七爷以前来过这里，他曾经进过那个古洞。” 我一下愣住了，黄七爷竟然来过这里，他为什么没告诉我们？ ! 我当时就要下去问他，被猴子死死拉住了。 我大声说：“黄七爷不会骗我，他和我爷爷是八拜之交。” 猴子却死死盯着我的眼睛，说：“你怎么能确定他就是黄七爷？” 我一下愣住了。 所有关于黄七爷的事情，都是他自己说的，我的确证明不了他就是黄七爷。 可是，他要是不是黄七爷，他又会是谁呢？ 我这时突然想起了黄晓丽，要是这个黄七爷是假的，那黄晓丽会不会有危险？ 我当时叫声“不好”，便要奔下山去，便被猴子一把拽住了。 猴子说：“你是不是去找黄晓丽？” I nod. 猴子说：“你放心，她不会有事的。” 我不明白猴子的意思，猴子也叹了一口气，闷闷说了句：“在这个世界上，谁也不能相信。” Neither of them spoke again. 猴子看了一眼天上迷蒙的月亮，笑了一下，笑得苦苦的。 这时，就听见下面传来了黄晓丽一声尖叫。 我一下坐不住了，直奔下山看她。 在河滩上，只有黄晓丽站在那里，扯着嗓子叫我，黄七爷已经不在了。 我问她才知道，不知道怎么了，刚才从上游突然漂过来好多大树，一棵接着一棵，顺着河道往下漂。黄七爷见了那树，脸色一变，便跟着那树一直走，到了前面一个深潭处，那树便聚集在了一起，也不走，只在水潭上打着漩。 黄七爷在河边看了看，脸色一变，说这是“龙王搬家”，当时就招呼了那只黑狗，一个猛子扎了进去，她怕黄七爷出事，忙叫我们下来帮忙。 仔细看看，黄河里漂着一株株折断的大桑树，那些大桑树很古怪，一个挨着一个，排列的整整齐齐，顺着河水流着，最后聚集在了一起，一圈圈打着转，仿佛水下有什么东西拖住了它们。 猴子眯着眼看了看，对我说，这水底下有一条铁链子，这些铁链子缠住了这些树，所以树走不动了。 他找了一根带杈的长树枝，在水底下扒拉着，树枝果然被拉紧了，他使劲往上一拽，树枝就带上来了一根碗口粗细的铁链。 猴子拉了几下铁链，当时脸色就变了，说：“老白，这铁链底下绑了东西。” 我也吓了一跳，想着这铁链下不会是绑着死人吧，或者就像是民间传说中绑着的水怪，总之好物件也不会被这样的铁链绑着。 我刚想赶紧拿开铁链走路，猴子却看着铁链子，说：“老白，这根铁链子有点不对劲。” 我说：“当然不对劲，谁要是脑子没搭错弦，会将铁链子拴到黄河底下。” 猴子说：“我不是这个意思，这个铁链子肯定不是刚放进去的，它为什么一点锈都没有？” 我明白他的意思，问他：“那你看这个铁链子有多久了？” 猴子仔细看了看铁链露出水面的一段，判断着：“以这个铁链子的磨损程度来看，少说也有几百年了吧。” 我吓了一跳，这个铁链子已经在水底下放了几百年了，那这铁链子不管锁了什么邪乎物件，应该也早就死绝了。 猴子这时候看着浑浊的黄河水，说：“老白，你说这铁链子的另一端拴在了哪里？” 我摇摇头，想着这黄河中为何会经常出现这样的铁链，不知道究竟是做什么的。 猴子这时候看着水下，说：“不行，我得下去看看。” 我觉得猴子简直就是疯了，这铁链拴了几百年的邪乎物件，这就够邪门的了，他竟然还想去看看拴的究竟是什么，要是这铁链子拴在了黄河眼里，难道他还要钻到黄河眼里看一看？ 但是不管我怎么说，猴子非坚持下去看看，让我们在河滩上等他，要是半小时他还上不来，就让我和黄晓丽赶紧走，再不要管他了。 我当时也是一阵激动，不知道怎么办才好，便紧紧拥抱住猴子。 猴子也拥抱了我，然后决然地转身，下到了水中。 我却一下子愣在那里不动了。 在我刚才拥抱猴子的时候，他用蚊子一般的声音对我说了一句话。 那句话是：“小心黄晓丽。” 小心黄晓丽？ 我有些搞不懂了，黄晓丽有什么好小心的？ 我又想到猴子在山上跟我说，黄晓丽肯定没事时的表情，也有些疑惑了，莫非猴子知道黄晓丽的秘密？ 我和黄晓丽在岸上焦急等待着，简直是心急如焚，一秒钟也不能停歇，好多次我都忍不住要跳下去看看，都被黄晓丽死死拉住了，说我又不会游泳，下去就是送死，还不如在岸上等。 又等了一会儿，就见水上咕嘟咕嘟往外冒泡，我赶紧奔到河边，顺着那堆气泡，猴子一下子从水中钻了出来，脸色苍白，费劲地往回游，我赶紧扑到水里将他拉上来。 猴子哇哇吐出了几口水，叫道：“老白，我们都被骗了，这里就是黑龙潭！” 我一愣，黄七爷不是说这里是济水吗，怎么又成了黑龙潭？ 猴子虚弱地呼吸着，指着前面那座大山，说道：“快去那座山上，没……没时间了……” 我还想问他什么，他却头一歪，便晕了过去。 我不知道河底下究竟发生了什么事，黄七爷又怎么样了，但是听他说得紧急，当时一咬牙，将他背在身上，招呼了黄晓丽便往山上跑。 走着走着，我觉得眼前好像蒙上了一层雾，怎么也看不清楚。 黄晓丽也是揉了揉眼，说：“老白，我是不是眼花了，怎么看不见前面的路了？” 我也觉得这雾气来得古怪，便放下猴子，想看看究竟再走。 雾气越来越大，阴冷的雾气仿佛要侵入我们身体里。我借着月光一看，黄晓丽头上白茫茫一层水雾，就像是一夜白头一般。 这时候，一阵风刮过来，浓厚的雾气中传来了一股浓烈的鱼腥味，那种腥味就像是烂了好多天的臭鱼烂虾一样，臭不可当，我和黄晓丽都掩住了口鼻。 我皱着眉头，刚想低声骂几句，黄晓丽却神色严肃，做了个噤声的手势，指着前面的深谷。 我探头一看，果然见那深谷中点起了两盏红灯笼，红灯笼顺着峡谷晃晃悠悠，朝着山谷漂了过去。 我才想起，当年见过这两盏红灯笼，这就是那只潜伏在深潭中的蛟。 不过这蛟龙不在深潭中卧着，为何要趁着雾气偷偷溜到山谷中呢？ 黄晓丽却激动了，她跟着红灯笼就走。我跟她说，那红灯笼八成是蛟龙的双眼，她也不管，非拉着我跟灯笼走。
