[Chapter 114] The top of the boulder

The county magistrate kept his word and immediately ordered the county lieutenant Wang to lead all the soldiers and rush to the cave with the master.

Wang Xianwei was originally a military commander. When he saw that the magistrate was determined to eliminate the evil, he took the lead. He led all the soldiers to protect the magistrate and the master, and surrounded the cave.

When the people around heard that the magistrate wanted to seal the cave, they gathered around to watch from a distance. The inner and outer three floors were blocked by water.

The Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival had passed, and it was daytime again, so there was nothing special about the cave. The magistrate and the county lieutenant bravely came to the cave, leaned sideways and looked down.

I saw that cave, and it was indeed extraordinary. The cave entrance was the size of the Eight Immortals Table, and the inside was dark, gloomy and cold. It seemed like the legendary direct passage to the underworld.

"Come on, light some torches and throw them down for me to see!" the magistrate gave the order, and immediately some of his soldiers lit several torches and threw them into the hole according to the magistrate's instructions.

The magistrate and the county captain, by the light of the torch that fell into the cave, could see many handprints and footprints on the cave wall not far from the ground! It seemed that countless people had passed through the cave.

Like crawling out

But those few torches were all extinguished soon after entering the cave, and darkness returned to the cave.

"Hey, it's not surprising that the torch went out, but I didn't hear the sound of falling to the ground? Is it water or something else?" The county magistrate was very curious, "Come here, find me some stones and throw them down. Let's see.

Look how deep it is down there!”

"Sir, this, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, just in case, what if the people in the underworld below are shocked, but"

Before the master could finish speaking, the county magistrate interrupted him, "What's wrong? Even if this cave really leads directly to the underworld, the yin and yang are separated and do not interfere with each other. They came to provoke the people of our county first. Even if they are sealed

It’s normal to live in it!”

While they were talking, soldiers had already brought many stones and set them aside, waiting for the magistrate's order to be thrown into the cave.

The magistrate and the county lieutenant stood by the cave and motioned to the soldiers to throw the stone down. The two of them listened intently to the sound of the stone falling to the ground.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sound at all from below. I don’t know if the stones have not yet reached the bottom or were caught by something with their hands.

The county magistrate and the county captain looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Because no matter what the situation is, it is terrifying! If those stones are still falling and have not reached the bottom, the depth is really unimaginable; if something is caught in the middle out of thin air, it will be even more terrifying!

"Sir, here, even if there is water down here, you should still hear the sound. Could it be that it is really a bottomless pit?" the county captain asked with a panicked look on his face.

"Where in the world can there be any bottomless hole! However, since this hole is so deep, it will not be easy to fill it. I don't know how many rocks and earth will be needed!" The county magistrate was also unexpected about the depth of this hole.

After thinking for a moment, I felt helpless

Said, "Well, Lieutenant Wang, you arrange for the soldiers to bring a big stone slab to cover it! Remember, the stone slab must not only be able to completely cover the entrance of the cave, but also must be thicker and thicker."

Okay, if it doesn’t work, add more rocks on top!”

After the county magistrate made arrangements, he went back to the county government office with the senior officials.

Since the Lord had given the order, and it was indeed a move that would benefit the people, Wang Xianwei did not dare to neglect it, and immediately ordered the soldiers to transport a piece of Daqing that was one foot square and about a foot thick from the quarry outside the city. The stone slab covers the cave! This huge stone may weigh tens of thousands of pounds. No matter how strong the wind is, don't try to move it at all!

Wangxian Lieutenant reported to the county magistrate that he knew about it, and everyone was very relieved to hear it. Because no matter how strange and deep the cave was, it was covered by a huge stone covering it, so it was expected that it would no longer be able to cause harm to anyone!

But the reality is always beyond people's imagination. On the night when the boulder was topped, the originally sunny weather with a bright moon and few stars suddenly suddenly saw a strong wind, the stars and moon were dark, and the county government office was surrounded by howling wind and flying sand and rocks! I was so scared. Everyone thought it was like the sky was falling and the earth was falling. They closed their doors and did not dare to speak out!

The county magistrate has already seen the sucking power and bottomless depth of the cave. In addition to this horrible weather, he dare not step out of the yamen and only hopes to deal with it again in the morning!

The next day, the red sun rose in the east, white clouds bloomed, the sea was calm, and everything was peaceful! Before the county magistrate could ask questions, Wang County Lieutenant came to report in a hurry: "Sir, something bad is going wrong! Something bad is going wrong! Yesterday we just The huge stone that covered it was knocked aside by something, and it was shattered into pieces!"

"What? What did you say?" The county magistrate simply couldn't believe his ears, "Wang County Lieutenant, you mean, that 10,000-kilogram stone was actually lifted and broken into pieces?"

"Yes, sir! That huge stone of ten thousand kilograms was indeed moved and shattered by something overnight!" Wang County Lieutenant never said "who" it was, but kept emphasizing that it was " "What the hell", because as a military attache, he didn't believe that anyone could remove the huge stone and break it into pieces! You know, when they brought the huge stone, they used migrant workers and countless soldiers, with a mighty force and loud shouts. God's

"Let's go and take a look! Anyway, there is no danger during the day!" The magistrate insisted that seeing is believing, so everyone had to follow him.

The blue stone slab was indeed moved away from the entrance of the cave and then broken into several pieces. Because next to the cave, the magistrate carefully inspected the scene and found that the broken pieces could be pieced together intact to form the original slab. Bluestone!

This shows that it was not someone who smashed it in the cave, but that the huge boulder was moved away from the cave before destroying it.

"Master, do you think, who has such magical power to move such a heavy stone?" The county magistrate looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to ask for other people's opinions.

"Sir, I just observed carefully. There are no footprints or other traces around here. Yesterday, Wang Xianwei and others covered the entrance of the cave with huge rocks. It took so many people a long time to finish it. Last night, there were no traces at all. I’ve never heard of a chat room—it’s probably beyond human reach!”

While they were arguing endlessly and wondering about this matter, they suddenly saw white smoke escaping from the cave. It was foggy and white, carrying bursts of cold air, making everyone around them feel chilly. Goosebumps suddenly appeared!
