Chapter 17
The mountains are piled up, the green screen is covered with green, the grass is fragrant and the wind is warm, and the plain and sparse forests are close to the fragrance of water.
At the end of the mountain path, a group of people came.
Gong Jiu, Su Caicai, Ci Xue, Elder Mo beat the front, followed by nearly a thousand strong men of the Mo clan.
Elder Mo said: "The Chengjiang Valley, fifty miles northwest of the back mountain behind Mo Village, is probably the Chengjiang Waterfall in front."
Su Caicai said: "Eri said that there are organs in that valley. Do you really have a way to get in?"
Elder Mo smiled and said, "The Mo clan has good organs, Qimen Dunjia, but it is just a closed valley. What's the difficulty?"
The group walked forward for half a stick of incense, and Su Caicai suddenly heard a very light and weak sound in her ear.
"Can you help me lift it?"
With soft and glutinous earnestness and innocence.
It seems to be the voice of a child.
The sound soon broke into the air and disappeared without a trace.
A warm breeze blew by, and Su Caicai's black hair on her ears gently touched her pink cheeks, making her feel itchy.
It seemed as if that call was just a illusion of Su Caicai.
She subconsciously looked around, and there was no one else except their group.
The eyes were slightly condensed.
There is a shabby stone statue on the side of the road.
The stone statue is as small as a car, with a lotus petal. There is a little golden boy holding a thin-necked jade bottle carved inside the lotus petals. The little golden boy looks very pleasing. There is a big gap at the top of the stone statue, which is dirty and looks very dilapidated.
Su Caicai's eyes fell on the smiling little golden boy's stone statue, and he was stunned and pulled Elder Mo's sleeve.
"Elder Mo, what is that?"
Elder Mo looked at Su Caicai's sight and said oh, explaining: "This is a golden boy who gave birth to a child, named Si Tong. As the name suggests, it is a stone statue used to pray for a child. The craftsmanship of this stone statue should be from the hands of the Mo people. Why was it thrown to the side of the road just like this?" Elder Mo pondered for a while, frowned, and wondered, "In the past, the incense of this golden boy who gave birth to a child in Mo Village was extremely prosperous. Every family hoped that the fat boy could give birth to a big boy in the room. He was one of the most believing gods in Mo Village."
Su Caicai said: "It should be that the Mo Village people evacuated too quickly, so they threw him away."
Elder Mo nodded: "I think this should be the case." He stopped and said to Cixue, "The Mo people are clear about ghosts and believe in gods. When they meet gods, they worship them. Cixue, do you have any dry food that you haven't finished eating this morning? Please give this golden boy to the gift of children as offering incense."
"Yes, grandpa." Ci Xue nodded, took out a few white steamed buns from her sleeve bag, put them in front of the stone statue, folded her hands together and bowed three times.
Elder Mo quivered: "Okay, let's go quickly. We'll reach the waterfall soon."
The group walked slowly forward.
I always feel that someone is looking at me.
Su Caicai couldn't help but look back and took another look at the stone statue.
The lonely stone statue stands beside the path, with broken stones and remaining figures, and they are alone.
The little golden boy on the stone statue looked very lonely at this moment.
Silent, lonely smile.
"Su'er, why are you behind?"
Gong Jiu walked to Su Caicai with a red joint umbrella and asked in a lazy voice.
Su Caicai shook her head and shook off the strange feeling in her heart.
"It's okay, I just think the stone statue is a little strange."
"Stone statue?" Gong Jiu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the stone statue, and suddenly smiled, "No obstacle, let's go."
Su Caicai nodded, and two figures, one green and one red, gradually followed the pace of the large army ahead.
The autumn mountains are dark and the blue waves are dyed. The rivers are not deep or heavy.
The Chengjiang River is like a scattered inkstone splashing under the towering mountains, vividly, with vast green waves, deep and shallow.
It looks like an ancient painting of ink.
Milky Way Waterfall, water curtains and mountains, and the sky is far away from the sky.
Elder Mo was muttering something in his mouth, as if he was surveying the terrain. Finally, he stood at a critical location in the water curtain waterfall. He stopped and patted the mossy rocks on the edge of the waterfall. As if he was looking for some mechanism, he touched a depression, paused, and murmured: "It's this." He suddenly pressed the depression deeper, but suddenly a crisp sound was heard. The depression was completely buried under the huge rock, revealing a small hole, the small hole was as big as a copper coin, and could barely penetrate two fingers.
"Ci Xue, come here." Elder Mo called Ci Xue and told him, "There are five mechanisms here, and five people must be opened at the same time. The key is the fingers of the Mo people. Try to penetrate the index and middle fingers into the hole to see if you can touch a thin iron wire."
Ci Xue put the long sword in her hand aside, stretched out her fingers, put it into the hole as small as a copper coin, frowned and calmed down. Her fingers tried to move for a while, but he could not see the situation in the holes, and could only feel the hidden iron wire through the superb hands of the Mo people.
The fingers of the Mo people are extremely sensitive and can even tell the weight of the hair. The five fingers are longer than those of ordinary people.
After a long time, Ci Xue whispered: "Grandpa, I've touched it."
"Put your fingers to hold the wire and bend it. If your fingers touch the wire, you should touch a gear-shaped iron roller. After a while, the five of us will hang the wire on the roller at the same time. Remember, look at grandpa's gestures."
"Ci Xue knows." Ci Xue nodded unremittingly.
When Elder Mo found another four mechanisms near the waterfall, the five people raised their hands to signal, indicating that they were ready. Elder Mo made the unique gestures of the Mo tribe, counting down, five, four, three, two, one...
The five people hang the wire on the roller at the same time.
With a "click", the huge black iron gate slowly poked out from the waterfall and opened suddenly, and the long curtain of the water curtain was divided into two.
Huge water vapor rushed towards us, and the Mo people standing close to the waterfall were wet all over.
Elder Mo said, "Let's go in."
A group of people walked along the fine stepping stones below the Chengjiang River into the water curtain cave full of unknowns.
The cave was pitch black and could not see anything. Gong Jiu's fingers flew, and a golden seal was formed. A dazzling light ignited in his hand. Yingying was about to dance. The cave was immediately bright like the sun. Gong Jiu threw the golden light in his hand upwards, and the light ball condensed above Gong Jiu, walking as he walked, sometimes high and sometimes low, swaying crystal clear, like a firefly guiding the way.
The long hole is getting smaller and smaller. It was originally a diameter that was enough to accommodate three people, but in the end it could only accommodate one person. It also had to bend over and hunch over. I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally walked to a wide area, but there were four small holes with forked in front.
No one moved.
Su Caicai asked: "Elder, what should I do next? Do you find an exit from these four holes? Which one should I choose?"
Elder Mo shook his head and said, "No, the Mo clan is wise and believes in gods, and often takes the number four as a taboo, so there must be a fifth exit here." He turned around, knocked at the wall in the cave, and listened to the sound while knocking.
After a long time, Elder Mo said to Ci Xue: "The exit is here, open it."
Without saying a word, Ci Xue drew her sword and slashed at the stone wall, cracking a thin crack. He continued to work hard and slashed five or six times like this. The solid wall fell down. Ci Xue gathered her sword, worried that there would be other mechanisms, so she walked in first.
The road was flat. I don’t know how long I had walked in this long cave. When Su Caicai’s feet were almost broken, the front of the cave was slightly shiny. It was supposed to be not far from the exit. Su Caicai gritted her teeth and finally, the sunlight in front of her was full of energy.
The group walked out of the cave.
