Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 231 Nine Old Caves
The cool night wind blew through the mountains and forests, a silver plate hung high in the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

I stood in front of the Jiulao Cave with Tsuchimikado Xia Wu, and the surroundings were completely silent.At this moment, we have changed into clean clothes. After all, the original clothes are full of blood stains, which is really eye-catching.As for the clothes, I knocked two tourists unconscious on the mountain road and got them from their backpacks. Of course, I stuffed two hundred-yuan bills in their pockets before I left. not come out.

"Nine Old Caves."

I whispered, this place should also be counted as one of the most mysterious places in Mount Emei.It is said that the environment inside is very complicated, with various tunnels interlaced, strange rocks, ramps, cliffs, and even streams flowing through them.Because it is the legendary fairy cave, countless explorers have gone deep into it throughout the ages, wanting to see the true face of the fairy cave, and even obtain the treasures left by the fairy.But it is a pity that most explorers never came out after entering, and they don't know what they encountered in it.

It is said that in 1983, three college students from Kunming Medical College in Yunnan Province ran into the cave to explore, but got lost in the cave and were trapped for twelve full days and nights before being rescued by a large number of search and rescue personnel. Fairy away'.This also shows the degree of danger of the Jiulao Cave from the side.

"Let's go."

I yelled to the back and walked straight into the cave.Xia Wu was silent and followed.

When I entered the Jiulao Cave, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart, and I couldn't help looking back. There were a few small trees swaying in the wind, but I felt a faint feeling in my heart, as if someone was looking for my trace , I can't explain the reason for this feeling, but it is by no means groundless.

Walking into the cave, I was greeted by a strong smell of incense, I turned on the flashlight, um, this thing was also brought along with the clothes.Under the bright light, a glaring King Kong-like god on the opposite side came into view.

Wearing golden armor, the statue has dark skin, holds a golden whip high in one hand, and stretches out his chest with the other. Sitting down, he is also riding a ferocious black tiger. It looks majestic and mighty.

"God of Wealth Zhao Gongming."

I said in a low voice, it is said that this Jiulao Cave was also the place where Zhao Gongming practiced, so later generations built a statue of the God of Wealth here for people to worship. It is said that the incense is not bad, after all, Chinese people always pray for wealth. Never tired of it.

"Let's go!"

I grabbed Xia Wu who was looking at the statue curiously, and walked deep into the cave.After a while, at the end of the stone path, I saw a small iron gate with a big lock on it.This is the real entrance to Jiulao Cave, but it is locked to prevent tourists from entering indiscriminately. The key is said to be held by monks from the temple.

"can not open."

Xia Wu muttered something, and she finally got out of the sad mood.

I smiled, stretched out my foot, and kicked it directly.I just heard a loud bang, and I kicked the small iron door flying out, which made Xia Wu's mouth grow wide in shock, and she couldn't believe that a person had such great strength.

The corners of my mouth turned up slightly, and it was very rewarding to see her surprised. After all, men just like the feeling of acting in front of others, no matter who they are.

The two entered the iron gate, and within a few steps, they saw a shaft on the ground, about five meters deep, at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground. Going down from here was the real interior of Jiulao Cave.

I stretched out my arms to hug Xia Wu, jumped down with one leap, and landed firmly on the ground.

Before I could see the situation below clearly, sharp and piercing voices came from the depths of the cave, and then a black shadow rushed towards me overwhelmingly, which shocked me, and Xia Wu was even more so. He screamed in fright.

Angry in my heart, I pulled out the Quexie sword with a movement of my right hand, and the true energy in my body poured into the sword along my arm.

The sword flower danced, and the true energy raged.

These black shadows fell to the ground amidst screams, and turned into corpses all over the place in a short while, and the rest fled in a panic and disappeared.

Only then did I see the corpses of bats on the ground under the light of the flashlight. These bats are as big as chickens, full of fangs and sharp teeth, and they look terrifying. What do you do for a living.

I raised my legs and walked forward, but found that Xia Wu was standing there without moving.She said to me tremblingly, "I'm afraid."

I was speechless immediately, this girl was born in the Onmyoji family, she is also Maoyou's maid, but she is not only afraid of ghosts, she is even afraid of bats, she looks like a rich lady.

Xia Wu didn't move, just looked at me with wide eyes, I shook my head, walked over and picked her up by the waist, walked over the corpses all over the floor, and continued to walk deep into the cave.

The interior of the Jiulao Cave is full of strange rocks, and there are many forks, one opening is followed by several forks, and there are so many openings on the stone wall, it is really a labyrinth with many traps.After walking a few steps, I felt a little dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north. Only then did I know why few explorers who entered the cave from ancient times to the present were able to go out. Not to mention anything else, just this maze-like road , can trap people alive.

A rancid smell wafted from a hole in front. It felt like a smelly sock that hadn't been washed for a year, and it almost made me spit it out.Xia Wu and I walked over holding our noses, and saw a corpse curled up at the entrance of the cave. This guy had been dead for many years. His whole body was covered with long white hair, and there were rotten corpses around him. Corpse water, it looks really disgusting.

This should be the tourist who got lost in the cave, and finally died of hunger and cold here.

I sighed, pulled Xia Wu and prepared to go through the other hole, but when we turned around, the white-haired corpse that had been curled up on the ground suddenly moved.

A smell of rotting flesh filled the surroundings. I turned my head and saw a head that had rotted to the point where only half of the cheek was left. The yellow water flowed from it, making it disgusting to see.

I snorted coldly, turned my wrist, and a red light flashed across. Immediately, the head of the white-haired corpse fell to the ground, and the headless corpse fell to the ground, splashing a puddle of yellow water, which scared me back two steps.

The corpse has white hair, which is what the folks call white zombie. It is the lowest type of zombie, with slow movement and weak combat power. For me, this kind of thing really comes and kills as many people as possible.

I pulled the stunned Xia Wu and was about to turn around when Xueer's voice suddenly sounded:

"Go in this way."

I was taken aback, the road that Xueer mentioned was exactly the entrance of the cave where the white stiff was.I hurriedly asked Xueer if she had discovered anything, but despite my shouting, she remained silent, as if she was still angry with her before, she is really a little girl who holds grudges.

I smiled wryly, no wonder others said that it is difficult to raise only women and villains, which seems to be very reasonable.

In the end, I still decided to believe Xueer's words, and took Xia Wu to step carefully through the yellow water all over the ground, and walked into that passage.

1 minute, 2 minutes...

This passage seems to be extremely long, and I don't know how long I walked. Finally, when my patience was about to be worn out, the vision suddenly opened up.

What you see outside this passage is an extremely wide 'hall', which is a typical limestone cave, which is often called karst landform. Under the light of the flashlight, there are countless stalactites and stalagmites everywhere. , there is an underground river on the side, the water is rippling, and there are things swimming in it.

Of course, all of this is not the point. The point is that there is a huge stone gate right in front of the hall. I took Xia Wu to take a closer look and found that this stone gate is definitely made by man. There are countless birds and beasts, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, which look lifelike, and the whole Shimen Sutra gives people a sense of beauty.

Is this the cave where the legendary immortal lives?
My body trembled because of excitement, I raised my flashlight and looked around the stone gate for a while, wanting to see if the switch of the stone gate was opened, but to my disappointment, the stone gate was seamlessly integrated with the surrounding rock walls, Not a single gap was revealed.

I was a little bit unwilling, so I used all my energy and kicked towards the stone gate...
