Snap!

The white light flashed again, but this time there was no such shrill cry, and the white light was far away from us, flashing away in the wide underground river.

"Ran?!"

Lao Bai said: "Can you escape that far in the blink of an eye?"

"How could it be possible to run so fast..."

Zhang Xinya said with a sad face: "Obviously there is more than one here!"

This situation was so unexpected, the cry sounded like a ghost, and there was a strong light flashing when it came and went. Even if we broke our heads, we couldn't figure out what it was.

In order to avoid any accidents, a few of us huddled closely behind Brother Yaozi, fully alert.

Brother Yao Zi didn't seem to have any confidence in his heart. He was just annoyed. After walking for only a dozen steps, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It looked sparkling under the miner's lamp. When he came to the river, he copied it directly.

He held a short hammer, stood on tiptoes, leaned his upper body forward and looked toward the water!

The strong light came on again under Brother Yaozi's feet. The old coward immediately shouted "Oh my God", which scared Brother Yaozi and almost jumped up. The hammer in his hand instinctively smashed into the water with a "crash" sound.

Water splashes everywhere.

The flashlights in our hands had long been shining on the water. The moment the hammer fell, we could clearly see a black shadow flashing in the water, running forward along the river and disappearing among a few rocks.

In the meantime, he seemed to have gotten into the cracks in the rocks.

Brother Yaozi quickly chased after him and jumped like an ape onto a boulder protruding from the underground river. Then he squatted down and watched carefully among the rocks.

"Hey, it turns out it's your turtle grandson!"

Suddenly, Brother Yaozi shouted, raised his hand and grabbed it among the rocks, and pulled out something more than one meter long, like an earthworm, with its body still curling and twisting in mid-air, trying to wrap around Brother Yaozi.

His arm was rounded by Brother Yaozi, and he slammed it twice on the stone. There was no movement immediately, and he seemed to have been thrown to death.

When the kite brother returned, we finally saw clearly what this thing looked like under the light. It was very similar to a krait, but the color was more conspicuous, with red and yellow colors on its body, gills on both sides of its head, and two fins not far away.

.

The most interesting thing is that this thing has a transparent membrane on the back between the cheeks. It seems to be a cystic gland. If you poke it with a knife, the cystic gland will explode with a "pop" and some sticky white fluid will flow out.

Liquid, glow in the dark.

"Isn't this a mud strip?"

Lao Bai scratched his head: "But what is this thing on the back that looks like a gallbladder? I've never heard of Nitiaozi growing up with such a thing!"

"Maybe a mutation occurred here?"

Zhang Xinya muttered: "Ni Tiaozi's teeth are very good and can gnaw stones. They often live in some caves. I think this gland should be the thing that emits light. It may be that it swallowed something similar to fluorite. Inside

The phosphorescent substance is stored in the body, and when it encounters a threat, it emits strong light to protect itself."

I finally understood, everyone here was knowledgeable, but I was confused and couldn't hold it in any longer. I opened my mouth and asked proactively, only to find out that the Nitiaozi they were talking about was a strange creature called the Bighead Carp.

This kind of creature is very rare, but it has definitely existed longer than humans. It is extremely afraid of light. You may encounter it in some inaccessible karst landforms. Some people have also seen it on the other side of Kunlun Mountain. It is said that there was once a climber

A hard-frozen bighead carp has been found in the ice of Mount Everest. As for the Loess Plateau, this is the first time it has appeared in the world, and this bighead carp is obviously different.

"Anyway, there are only some naturally formed and very old river channels. You can occasionally see this thing in the water."

Zhang Xinya's eyes brightened and she said with a smile: "The Loess Plateau is already short of water, and there are very few natural water systems originating from the Luliang Mountains. One is the Fen River and the other is the Sanggan River, but the Sanggan River runs towards Hebei. , completely contrary to the flow direction of this underground river. To put it bluntly, this underground river can only be connected to Fenhe River. Where is the source of Fenhe River? In Guanluan Mountain! The bighead carp we saw is very interesting. Maybe he swam all the way from your hometown!"

There was too much guidance in her words, and it was obvious that she had a lot on her mind.

The Fen River is very long, hundreds of kilometers long, and flows through several cities. The bighead carp is famous for dying in the face of light. If it really comes from the source of the Fen River, then it must have left the source of the Fen River and not crossed the river. How long did it take to get into this underground cave?

To put it bluntly, this cave may be more than 100 kilometers long, along the underground river all the way from western Shanxi to northwestern Shanxi, and the exit is at Guanlui Mountain near my hometown!!

My head was spinning, and I was thinking more. I walked into an underground cave from the door of our hometown, and then ran directly across to this stacked tomb. Is this really a coincidence?

I am a person who doesn’t like to believe in coincidences. In my subjective consciousness, the only possibility is that the last ritual officer did too many things that interfered with the world. It is difficult to evaluate whether it is right or wrong. It’s not easy. You can’t even say that some people have built a coffin. I think he himself may have thought that the fate of his descendants would not be too good. This underground cave is most likely an opportunity he left to his descendants... …

It's a pity that our family has always been rooted at the foot of Guanlui Mountain and has never moved. For thousands of years, generations of people have been looking for earthly beads and this monster burial mound all over the world, but no one has the intention to find it in front of their own house. Look for it!

"This is the fate of your old Wei family. You have buried so many people, whether they should be buried or not. It is God who wants to punish you, so the way to survive is right under your noses, but you can't see it at all! However, , these are all things about old millet and rotten sesame seeds. Don’t say you are sighing now, even if you slap your thighs and cut the basket, it is useless. You see, I am a simpler person than you, and my life is real. This mud In my eyes, the note doesn’t have that much information, it’s just one word – eat!”

Lao Bai muttered, ever since Brother Yaozi caught the mud strip, he couldn't hold it back for a long time. When he looked at the mud strip, his eyes were red and he looked like brothers were not polite. He took out his short knife and wiped it clean. He chopped off the head with a sharp knife, peeled off the skin and cleaned it with a very skillful technique. However, when he cut open the abdominal cavity of the mud strip with a knife, a lot of frog egg-like things came out of it, which were black and purple in color and smelly. It's terrible, it's not like the smell that a recently dead thing can give off.

"Still a female?! No matter, it's all caviar."

Lao Bai is very good-natured and doesn't let go of anything edible. As soon as he picks it up, he tries to stuff it into his mouth, but my master stops him.

"Would you like a bite too?"

Lao Bai showed rare generosity in front of my master and directly handed a handful of black and purple eggs to my master.

My master just picked up one of the eggs with a paper nail, and gently rubbed it with his fingertips. When the black-purple eggs were slightly dry, they immediately burst open, causing black pulp to splash everywhere, and the smell became stronger.

"If you don't want to die, it's best not to eat this kind of thing."

My master raised his brows and said softly: "This is not caviar. This is called black mustard seed. It is a terrible poison recorded in ancient books. As for the clay sliver in your hand, it is not an ordinary clay sliver. It is accurate."

Say, it’s called Long Po Niang.”

Lao Bai was stunned by what my master said. His hand felt as if it had been pricked by a poisonous needle. He kept trembling. Without thinking, he dropped the black-purple eggs on the ground with a "crash".

.

The black-purple eggs seemed to be alive, and they were actually squirming after falling to the ground, as if the life contained inside would break out of the shell anytime and anywhere.

This scene was really breathtaking. Lao Bai was all hairy. He rushed up and stomped on those black and purple eggs with his feet. The thing exploded with a crackling sound like fried beans, but it finally stopped. For a while,

The smell of mutton is so strong here that it makes me sick to smell it.

My master looked uneasy. He stood up and looked around. He even stood by the river and closed his eyes to feel something silently. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and sighed: "If you want to blame it, it's our bad luck. We just killed him."

Madam Yilong, this place is not very safe. Let’s get on the road first and talk as we go. If we stay any longer, I’m afraid things might change!”
