Chapter 17, Concealing the Sky into the Dragon Cave
"Don't discuss the old soul on the Three Lives Stone, admire the moon and sing the wind. I am ashamed of my lover to visit each other from afar, and this body lasts forever even if the opposite sex exists."
"Okay, let's go with me, and the rest will be led by Comrade Sun Xiaoru to survey the surrounding environment and collect samples." Old Li ordered resolutely, and he had already climbed the bush and chose the slope with the smallest slope to go down first.
As Mr. Li's favorite disciple and Leng Fengchun, who was temporarily doing odd jobs, naturally followed behind with equipment. Mr. Li chose the place very well and could go directly to the bottom of the pit without any tools. However, the thorns of the poisonous powder plant were thorned and everyone was tickling it. Fortunately, when it reached the bottom of the pit, the underground river channel exposed on the surface was rocks on both sides, and there were few plants growing. You just need to follow the stream to reach the entrance of the Laolong Cave.
It is said that a long time ago, there was indeed a dragon living here, which often caused waves and caused water to flood the two sides of the Pangbu River. Later, it was killed by an immortal. In addition to the flood, there is now a Zhenren Temple of Killing Jiao near Dapo Village.
Everyone walked up the stream, and in just a few minutes, they saw a bay of clear water, with a pool of half an acre. The reflection of the trees, the water quality was clear and deep, flowing out from a dark crack about a meter-sized size.
Mr. Li turned around and looked at the local expert in confusion: "Xiao Huang..." Hearing the call, the middle-aged man named Huang took two steps forward cleverly and said: "Mr. Li, the old dragon cave has been so clear in the past years. It is high-quality high-quality mineral water. A merchant originally planned to come here to mine as a mineral water production base. However, since last month, a red stream would flow out of the cave from time to time. The merchant was afraid that the red stream would be harmful. The merchant did not plan to invest if he did not understand the problem of the red stream. He did not report to the county. The county invited the experts to come and found no problem. He felt that there might be any new discoveries in this matter, so he reported to you step by step." As he was speaking, he saw a red stream flowing out from the entrance of the cave, as if someone poured out blood. It was gushing out with the clear stream, gradually spreading.
Everyone was stunned by this surprised side, "The Dragon King cried blood, it was indeed the Dragon King cried blood!" A local temporary worker who accompanied him exclaimed loudly and attracted everyone's attention.
"The Dragon King cried blood? What does this mean?" Old Li asked with a bright look at the mountain citizen.
He was a man in his thirties, with a dark skin and an honest look. Under Mr. Li's gaze, he looked very nervous and said stutteringly: "That leader, I also heard from the old man that red water flows out of the Laolong Cave every sixty years. The old people said that the dragon was not killed by the immortals, but was just imprisoned in it. After a while, the dragon wanted to break free from the shackles, but the scales were worn out by the shackles and bleeding, and he could not escape in the end. So he was full of energy and restless after 60 years. But some people said that the dragon was killed, but the dragon's soul did not dissipate. Because he regretted that the harmed the people and was killed by the immortals, he cried and shed tears. However, the red water appeared only within one day at most, but this time he heard that it had been a month. He had never been there before." After that, he touched his sweat nervously, but he did not dare to face Mr. Li's gaze.
Everyone seemed to have no value, but just regarded it as a legend. Mr. Li was nervous and didn't look at him. He said to the middle-aged man named Huang: "Xiao Huang, we have tested the water samples you gave. At first, we thought it was caused by the dispersion of sulfur compounds in the underground river. However, after careful and repeated tests, no such substance was found. The water was very pure and had very little content and could not produce color. It is possible that some chemical change occurred during the transportation process, or that the current instrument cannot perform precise testing, so now the sampling will be taken on site and sent to professionals for testing."
Mr. Li ordered in an orderly manner: "Mu Xia, put the motorboat into the water and follow me into the cave to collect rock samples."
Li Muxia agreed, hurriedly did it, and moved the quarrying hammer, chisel and other tools into the ship.
Thinking of the rich fog just now, Mr. Li asked again: "It's around twelve:30 noon now. According to your experience, how long will it take to fog?"
The county staff replied: "It usually takes around 3:00 pm, and it may be around 5:30 in summer."
"Yeah!" Mr. Li nodded. "It's no problem to carry five people in this motorboat. Who has entered the hole?"
The man who just spoke said, "I have been in there a few times. Every spring, an underground fish emerges to give birth in this cave. I have taken fish a few times."
"Well! Yes, there is a precious golden stitch fish in Laolong Cave. The meat is very beautiful and it is a unique place in our local area. But few people dare to come down to fish. The rock pillar will lead you in a while. The waterway inside is complicated, so you must ensure Mr. Li's safety."
Li Muxia has also read some information about Laolong Cave and knows that there are many fork holes inside, which are easy to get lost, and the deep is cold and lack of oxygen. Be careful of Mr. Li's body. "Teacher, why not let me in? Just command outside."
Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "Let's go! I've been to the road ten times more dangerous places than this. Bring paint and hurry up." The paint is naturally used to paint on the cave wall to mark the road.
Fengchun didn't say anything and did his job silently. Hearing Mr. Li's instructions, he hurriedly took the paint bucket and the brush, and followed Mr. Li to a kayak.
Mr. Li, Li Muxia, Yanzhu and Fengchun were rowing a kayak and slowly sailing into the cave. As soon as they entered the cave, the four of them felt a chill, and the energy-gathering cave lights were not as far away as usual.
"Old professor, this cave is strange. When ordinary flashlights enter the cave, the light is as dim as the lamp, and the torch needs to work." Yanzhu saw that the cave exploration lamp was not as good as expected. "We usually use tire skin to ignite it on wooden sticks when entering the cave. You see, the top of the cave has been smoked for many years, and the light of the bright fire can drive away the fog. Sometimes, if you waste time, the cave is full of thick fog, you have to rely on the fire to illuminate and find a way out, and you may lose your direction."
Fengchun and the other two saw that the stone walls in the cave were all black, and the rugged rocks looked extremely terrifying. "There are also places where the flashlight in the cave is unclear, and this is not obvious. I have been to a cave for modern instruments that are useless at all. Fortunately, the high-concentration and energy light are still a little effective! There is wind flowing through the cave, and there should be an exit deep in the depths. There is no need to worry about the problem of hypoxia." Mr. Li looked around, then used a cloth strip to measure the downward wind direction, and then directed the ship to row upward.
"There is no exit, but there is an underground lake inside, about one and a half acres, and there is a skylight thirty meters away from the water." Yanzhu explained.
Mr. Li carefully observed the stone walls all the way. There were countless forks in the cave, big and small, as dense as a beehive. The entire cave seemed like a gorgeously decorated and unpredictable mystery palace. The kayak was getting wider and wider under the command of the rock column. After walking about 300 meters, he saw a faint light coming out in front. The water surface in the cave was as flat as a mirror, unfathomable. The wider part was about fifty meters, and the narrow part was more than ten meters. It was indeed a large underground lake. There was a circular skylight thirty meters away from the water at the widest point of the lake. The skylight shone on the water, like a beam of light on the stage, with colorful colors.
"The cave is high in negative oxygen ions. If you only need to speak silently for three minutes in the cave, you will lose your mind and enter a dormant state." Old Li felt the air in the cave and said, Jiang was indeed old and could feel the specialness of this cave, but he didn't know that this was the reason for spiritual energy.
Fengchun was always on guard secretly, but he did not find the so-called demon in the cave. However, Fengchun knew that what the master said would be true, and that person must have been hiding in the dark. After hearing Mr. Li's words, he carefully felt that the cave was indeed rich in a large amount of spiritual energy in the world, even more intense than the immortal cave on the Eagle Beak Cliff. Looking at the dense forks in the cave, Fengchun knew the layout inside, and seemed to be very familiar with this place. But he could guarantee that he would never live here in his life.
"I think it must be here. There is such a strong familiar summoning at the bottom of the lake. How can I find a way to continue?" Fengchun was thinking.
