Chapter Eleven The Sinkhole
Wuye glanced at this man, but he was from a family farming at the foot of the mountain. This man just married his mother-in-law last year. The couple lived happily. Master Wuye would stay at his house for one night every time he asked for alms. Also.
I don’t know what happened here today.
But I saw this man with a big head. After he came up, he pulled Master Wuye and started to walk down the mountain. After asking, I found out that it was the mother-in-law of this family who gave birth to the child, but it had been a day and she still hadn't given birth. At this moment, there was another
It was bleeding profusely, and the midwife was busy with her hands, so she asked this little brother to come up quickly to find Master Wuye. She said that he was the only one who could solve the problem.
Master Wuye listened in confusion, but he knew a little bit about it, but he had never been exposed to this method of production, so why did he have to do it?
But now was not the time to care about these things. Master Wuye didn't even put down Yao Lou and followed this little brother straight down the mountain.
The woman was still struggling, and saw waves in the woman's belly, but the child still couldn't be born. Although Master Wuye was a monk, he still had many inconveniences. He was busy on the side, but he didn't help much, but he was just
Adding to the chaos.
Master Wuye walked to the door, looked outside and saw that it was raining heavily again. The sky was overcast, and the low-hanging dark clouds in the distance seemed to be about to touch the earth, making people breathless.
Come on, I expect it will be another restless night.
Master Wuye was just thinking about it when he heard a sound of "Come out" in his ears.
The master was overjoyed. He stepped forward and saw that the child was dead. His face was completely black. His teeth were exposed, but they looked long and thin.
When the mother-in-law heard that the child was dead, she screamed and fainted.
It was already midnight, and there was heavy rain outside the window. The man took good care of the woman and settled Master Wuye down. He just rested.
Master Wuye was placed in a side room, and when he was about to lie down, he felt something was wrong. The midwife who found him disappeared unexpectedly. When he thought about it again, he felt that everything about the old woman in the mountain was weird.
His face was covered with ridges and grooves, but there was no blood at all.
The more Master Wuye thought about it, the more strange he felt. He got up and knocked on the door.
But the men in the family also said that they had never seen this old woman. Master Wuye returned to the room, but his heart could not be calm for a long time. He was a Taoist, so what could outsiders worry about.
The next day Master Wuye came out of his room and was about to carry the Yao Lou back to the mountain. When he looked into the Yao Lou, he understood. The Yao Lou was in a mess and the dragon ginseng he dug had disappeared. He was worried.
, but the person at home ran out in great panic, and the dead baby was also missing. The two searched for a long time in the courtyard, and saw the child's handprints and footprints on the mud in the courtyard. The two then followed.
I followed the mark all the way, but when I arrived in the mountains, the mark disappeared.
In the days that followed, the whole village was shrouded in panic again.
From time to time, living animals in the house are lost, ranging from cattle and sheep to small chickens. By the time they are found, the blood has been sucked clean, leaving only two deep tooth marks on the neck.
It didn't take long, but someone said that they saw this ghost thing with their own eyes.
It is about the size of a domestic cat, with a pale body and two eyes like ripe persimmons in autumn. There are still ginseng stems and leaves growing on the top of its head.
It didn't take long for the news to reach Master Wuye's ears. Master Wuye was suspicious, so he immediately checked the classics and looked for friends. Only then did he realize that the ginseng he picked turned out to be a ghost ginseng, which absorbs the yin energy of heaven and earth.
, is not some immortal thing in the world but the most evil thing.
Master Wuye regretted it endlessly, and without any further hesitation, he came down from the mountain, but there was already news in the village that the child had been murdered.
According to a friend, this ghost ginseng must suck other things once it leaves its cave. It likes to eat human blood at first, but later it must suck human brain marrow. Master Wuye stepped forward and opened the child's skull cavity, and sure enough, it was empty.
Master Wuye invited Taoist friends, and then he realized that this ghost ginseng was half-ghost, and once it transformed, it would take a thousand years to be sealed before it could be killed.
Master Wuye was just worried, but that man came up with a solution.
According to the plan, the two found an ancient well at the entrance of the village, and found someone to make a cage. A black cat was placed in the cage. They placed the cage and the black cat at the bottom of the well, and hung a cat above the black cat.
Salted fish. The black cat smelled the fishy smell, but couldn't reach it. It was so anxious that it meowed in the cage. The sound came out through the ancient well, just like a child crying.
In the middle of the night, the two of them were hiding in a dark place. Not long after, they saw a flash of red light. When they took a closer look, they saw a child crawling by the well. They were shocked. How could such a small doll be dragged around?
The two of them saw that the baby had a mouth full of fine teeth and drooling water. Without thinking, the two of them plunged into the ancient well. Without any hesitation, the two quickly took out the tools for cultivating Taoism, sealed the ancient well, and sank into the ground. From then on,
This village is peaceful and peaceful.
The three of them listened to the gentleman tell the story, but it was not thrilling. Apparently the gentleman had not spoken for a long time, and the story was not as exciting as Xie Fei's nonsense.
"It's been thousands of years, I don't believe why it can't still grow a few more." Old Wu asked again.
"A very dark place... hard to find." The gentleman gently shook his head again. Old Wu felt dizzy looking at it. This gentleman must be capable and have good character, but this is Luo Liluo.
The verbosity is unpleasant.
"You have to try it before you know."
The old gentleman turned around and looked at Old Wu with firm eyes that seemed to be shaken.
"Well, in the extremely dark place... I do... know... there is another one."
"We'll go there immediately." As he said this, Old Wu struggled to get out of bed, and when his feet touched the ground, he let out an 'ouch'.
"Chongqing Fengjie... Xiaozhai Tiankeng."
Old Wu was stunned when he heard it, "Tiankeng" is such a domineering name.
Tiankeng is a kind of karst landform, also known as large karst funnel.
The surroundings are steep, and the diameter and depth of the pit are greater than 100 meters. They are called large tiankeng. Those between 50 and 100 meters are small tiankeng. There are more than one drainage holes at the bottom of the pit. The bottom of the pit is generally relatively flat.
There are 52 large-scale tiankeng discovered in my country, mainly distributed in southwest areas such as Guangxi, Guizhou, Chongqing, Sichuan and other places. Among them, the largest one in the world is the Xiaozhai tiankeng in Fengjie County, Chongqing, in terms of depth and volume. , Xiaozhai Tiankeng is the undisputed largest tiankeng in the world.
The ground elevation of Xiaozhai Tiankeng is 1,331 meters, the depth is 666.2 meters, the diameter of the mouth is 622 meters, the diameter of the pit bottom is 522 meters, and the total volume is 119 million cubic meters. The walls of the pit are steep all around, and there is a trail on the northeastern cliff leading to the bottom of the pit.
There are two levels of terraces on the wall: the first level platform located at a depth of 300 meters is 2-10 meters wide. There are two houses on the platform, and some people once lived in seclusion; the other level platform is located at a depth of 400 meters and is slope-shaped. The slope is covered with vegetation.
, there are several hanging springs on the wall of the pit that flow to the bottom of the pit. There is an underground river under the bottom of the pit, and Xiaozhai Tiankeng is a "skylight" of the underground river.
The Xiaozhai Tiankeng and the Tianjingxia ground fissure belong to the same karst system. The underground river water at the bottom of the tiankeng is supplied by the Tianjingxia ground fissure and drains from the Maze Gorge. The underground river from the tiankeng to the exit of Maze Gorge is about 4 kilometers long.
There is a huge underground river at the bottom of the Xiaozhai Tiankeng. The water in the underground river comes from a mysterious canyon called "the ground crack" by the locals. According to the investigation, the ground crack is 37 kilometers long, and the narrowest part is only 2 meters.
The height of the canyon reaches 900 meters, forming a magnificent "line of sky".
Looking down from above, among the mountains and under the dense virgin forest, you can vaguely see a gap shrouded in clouds and mist. It is a mysterious ground crack hundreds of meters deep, which is called the "World Karst Canyon" by karst geology experts.
Not far from the Xiaozhai Tiankeng, there is a canyon that is almost exactly the same as Kuimen in the Three Gorges. The locals call it "Hankuimen". Going in from Hankuimen, the terrain is steep and inaccessible, and it has not yet been discovered.
ascertain.
"What, no one has ever gone in, so how do you know this is a very gloomy place?"
