Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone across the mountain and shone on this quiet village, Yao Chen opened his eyes. He didn't forget his promise with his friends. They would gather at the hillside at the east end of the village at six in the morning and explore the ancient cave together. He wanted to see if there was anything good. If he found an antique or something, wouldn't he be rich? Moreover, it was said that the ancient cave was very mysterious. It might even be the Immortal's Cave. If he could get guidance, it would be much better than his current half-baked cultivation.
Yao Chen's village was a relatively poor village in SY County of the province. It was called Santai Village. It was a very ordinary name, but it was very famous during the Anti-Japanese War. It was said that at that time, a regiment of soldiers from Country R entered Santai Village to search for some treasure. They conducted a carpet search of Santai Village and turned the land around Santai Village upside down. Even the mountains on three sides were bombarded with cannons for a few days, but they did not find anything. In the end, the people of Country R were so angry that they wanted to kill the villagers of Santai Village to vent their anger. Fortunately, at that time, another regiment of Chinese soldiers came and fought with the Chinese army. Although the Chinese army won in the end, they also suffered heavy losses. There was only a small group of people left, but they did not leave for a long time. Instead, they camped near Santai Village. Like the people from Country R, they searched wantonly and asked the villagers if there was anything strange. The villagers did not know either. In the end, an old beggar happened to go to Santai Village to beg. According to the old beggar's description, they found an ancient cave. After that, the Chinese army entered the ancient cave, but a long time passed. The small group of Chinese soldiers never came out again. The villagers said that they were eaten by the demons in the cave. The old beggar also disappeared after that. No one in the village saw him again, as if he had never appeared. The people in the village also knew about the ancient cave, but no one dared to check it out.
After the establishment of New China, the country sent many geologists, historians, and soldiers to the ancient cave in Santai Village to investigate again. However, after more than a year of investigation, they did not find much. They thought it was just an ordinary cave. In the end, the matter was left unsettled, and the country did not send anyone to investigate again. Although the people of R Country almost killed the villagers of Santai Village, the mountain that they had blasted with their cannons turned into a hillside, making the land relatively flat. Usually, the villagers would plant crops on these flat lands, which was considered a good thing.
There were more than 200 households in Santai Village. It was a famous village with a radius of ten miles. In the past, when the villagers were at their peak, the level of liveliness was comparable to that of the county town. However, in the past seven to eight years, there had been a continuous stream of young, strong, or skilled young men who went to the city to work. Only the old, the weak, the sick, and the women were left in the village. They planted the family's fields so that they did not have to worry about food for a year. The money earned from working could improve their family's life. Yao Chen's father, Yao Fu, was a member of this army. Yao Fu had already returned when the autumn harvest was approaching. He had been home for almost a month now, and the crops had already been tidied up. This year, the weather was good, and it was another bumper harvest. Therefore, Yao Fu was not in a hurry to go out to work after the autumn harvest. He was prepared to stay at home to accompany his wife and children. After all, he had been away for more than half a year.
In an instant, Yao Chen put on his clothes and quietly prepared to push the door open to meet his friends. Just as he pushed the door open, a voice suddenly sounded," Xiaolong, where are you going to play again? Not at home to accompany his sister? "Don't you want to know more about Capital University?" Yao Xia opened her eyes and asked Yao Chen.
"Sister, you almost scared me to death. Shh, don't speak loudly. Be careful not to wake up Mom and Dad. I'll go out to play for a while and come back tonight. Anyway, you won't be leaving for the next few days. We have plenty of time to talk. Sleep for a while longer. I'm leaving."
"Okay, then be careful. Don't go too far and go home early.”
"Okay, okay." As he spoke, Yao Chen pushed open the door and left. However, Yao Chen didn't know that he had been gone for a year and a half. This was something that would happen in the future.
As soon as Yao Chen left the house, he hurriedly ran to the hillside to the east of the village. When he reached the hillside, there were already four youths waiting for him there.
"Yao Chen was waiting for you. If you don't come, we'll leave. Otherwise, if our family sees that we're going to that ancient cave, they'll scold us to death!”Ren Guo said with a look of disappointment.
"Alright, I'm here. Let's go.”Yao Chen said as he walked forward. The few youths behind him crowded around and set off towards the ancient cave.
After walking for about half an hour, the five teenagers arrived at a mountain called Monkey Mountain in the southeast of the village. The Monkey Mountain was one of the few high mountains around Santai Village. It was more than 700 meters above sea level. The mountain was overgrown with weeds and dense forests. It revealed a hint of gloominess and strangeness. The villagers usually did not go to the Monkey Mountain for nothing. He found the ancient cave hidden in the weeds on the mountain. The ancient cave was filled with cold wind and darkness. There was only a hole that could only allow one person to enter. It was like a wide open mouth, waiting for people to enter its stomach. It was a terrifying sight.
"Brother Chen, are we really going in?”Xu Cheng asked softly.
"Of course, since we're already here, how can we not go in and take a look? I say, Cheng, you won't back out and be a coward, right?”Yao Chen teased.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid. I'll enter!”Xu Cheng said loudly, as if he was cheering himself on.
"Alright, I'll go in first. You guys follow me. He Yuan, give me the flashlight.”As he spoke, Yao Chen took the flashlight that He Yuan handed over and climbed into the cave first. Then, Ren Guo, Xu Cheng, He Yuan, and Li Jun climbed into the cave one by one.
Once they entered the cave, they couldn't even see their own fingers. Only the torchlights in Yao Chen and Li Jun's hands emitted a faint light, as if they could give people a trace of warmth. The five of them carefully walked in a circle with their backs to each other. The two torchlights swept back and forth. Finally, they realized that they were in a huge space. It seemed that the entire Monkey Mountain had been hollowed out. There were no traces of machine grinding on the surrounding walls. It was as if everything was formed naturally. They did not know who had the ability to complete this project. Perhaps it was really some mysterious and unfathomable force of nature.
" Ah, what's that?" Li Jun suddenly shouted. Following the light of Li Jun's flashlight, the four of them saw a stone door. There were mysterious patterns carved on the door. When they walked in, they saw that the patterns seemed to be moving, as if they were alive.
"Eh, why are there so many small holes on it?”Xu Cheng suddenly approached the stone door and said.
" That should be the bullet hole left behind by the Chinese military team. They should have found the stone door as well, but we don't know if it opened or not," the experienced Ren Guo explained.
"How do you know so much?" Yao Chen asked curiously.
"This is written in the ancient book in my grandfather's room. I've secretly read it before.”Ren Guo said.
"Let's see if we can open this stone door.”Li Jun suggested. After all, other than this stone door being a little special, there was nothing else.
"Hmm, let's see if there's a mechanism. The stone doors in TV shows are all controlled by mechanisms, just like Xiao Longnu's Tomb of the Living Dead.”Yao Chen reminded.
As they spoke, the few youths carefully began to search for the mechanism, hoping to open the stone door.
" Bang!" A sound rang out. It was so sudden in this empty cave that it made one's heart feel a little cold and could not help but feel fear. Ren Guo swept the light of the flashlight towards the source of the sound. It turned out that He Yuan had accidentally tripped over an unknown thing under his feet. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. However, when He Yuan stood up and raised his head, everyone's relaxed nerves tensed up again.
"Ah! "He…What happened to him?" Xu Cheng exclaimed.
"Ghost!" Li Jun's body trembled as he retreated and said in horror. Even Ren Guo and Li Long, who were usually bold, felt their hair stand on end. What kind of face did he have? His hair was disheveled, and his face was pale, like a piece of white paper stuck to his skull. His bloodshot eyes were bloodshot, and traces of blood could be vaguely seen on his nostrils. He was chewing on some unknown flesh and blood. The blood dripped down his chin and onto the ground, making a tinkling sound in this quiet cave.
"He Yuan, what's wrong?" Ren Guo mustered his courage and asked loudly.
"Tsk tsk, all of you are going to die. How dare you disturb the great Revered God's eternal sleep?”A deep and sinister voice came out of He Yuan's mouth.
"Supreme God Realm?" "Never heard of it.""What is it?"
"Run, he wants to kill us!”The four teenagers screamed and ran towards the cave entrance without looking back.
"You want to run? "Can you run away? Those who disturb the Revered God must die.""He Yuan" appeared at the entrance of the cave in a flash and said gloomily. As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and grabbed Xu Cheng, who was closest to the cave entrance. He grabbed Xu Cheng's neck and lifted him up.
"Tsk tsk, die." "He Yuan" said coldly.
" Woo woo, I don't want to die, save me…" Xu Cheng shouted. As He Yuan exerted strength in his hands, Xu Cheng's voice became softer and softer. He rolled his eyes. Seeing that he was about to die, Yao Chen and Brother Ren rushed forward and grabbed each of He Yuan's arms, pulling them to the sides. Li Jun ran to He Yuan and smashed his head with a flashlight.
"How dare you hit my head! Damn it, unforgivable!" He Yuan turned his head and stared at Li Jun with his red eyes. Li Jun was so scared that he took a few steps back and sat on the ground. In a panic, he dropped his flashlight. He Yuan threw Yao Chen and Ren Guo onto the walls on both sides of the cave. The two of them spat out blood and slid down the wall. They probably wouldn't be able to get up in a short period of time. Xu Cheng was also thrown to the ground, panting heavily, as if he wanted to make up for the lack of oxygen. At this moment, air was so precious and cute to Xu Cheng.
He Yuan turned around and walked slowly to Li Jun's side. He squatted down and reached out to grab Li Jun's neck. Seeing his hand getting closer and closer, Li Jun panicked and shouted," Don't kill me! Don't!"”Her hands were waving wildly, trying to stop He Yuan.
" Hehe, rest in peace, little brat," He Yuan said with a sinister smile.
