The ghost-faced moth hovered in the air for a while, then slowly landed on a rock not too far away from me.
I looked at the ghost-faced moth and couldn't help but think to myself: "Since this thing is exactly the same as what Lu Dingchun said, it means that Lu Dingchun came here before his death. If this is true, why did Dali Xiong ask me to come here? This man named Lu Dingchun may be because he found something here... I wonder if I will find any clues if I follow this ghost-faced moth?"
Thinking of this, I endured the pain all over my body and turned over to get out of the black lacquered wood coffin.
As soon as I moved, the ghost-faced moth seemed to sense the presence of someone here. After flapping its wings twice, it began to fly towards the other side of the mountain wall.
This place is underground, and I don’t have a compass or a compass in my hand. I can’t tell which direction I’m facing right now, so I have no choice but to move forward.
Fortunately, the ghost-faced moth didn't take a too difficult path, and it didn't fly too fast. It took me to a cave with stops and starts.
This cave is very strange. There is no fire source, but it is extremely bright.
The light is dark red, as dark as blood. It makes people look dark, depressed, and seems to be sticky. Maybe it is because of my psychology. It is a little difficult to breathe when I am in it.
I turned around and looked around, and found that the light in the cave came from a dark red crystal.
The crystals were not big, but there were quite a few of them, almost covering the entire cave. They were embedded in the cracks of the rocks, shining with a strange light, and you could vaguely smell a faint smell of blood.
I frowned and thought to myself, "Are these oxblood stones?"
What is Oxblood Stone?
I feel the need to say a few words here.
According to legend, this ox blood stone is related to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, he used to help the landowner herd cattle in Beibadi Village of Randenjiji.
Every day, he and his friends drove the cattle to the hillside south of the village to let them loose, and then they would gather together to play and play.
Among his friends, Zhu Yuanzhang is the best at coming up with ideas, and others are willing to listen to him.
One day, he played a game with the children pretending to be the emperor. He sat on a big stone and asked everyone to kowtow in turn and say "Long live the mountain". After the fun, it was already past noon, and everyone suddenly felt hungry, and they all said it would be nice to get something to eat.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: Where can we get food in the barren mountains and wilderness? When I was worried, I suddenly saw my little flower cow running over, so I asked a few children to catch the cow and said, "Kill the cow for meat.
A banquet for all the ministers! "
After that, he dug a hole in the thousand-layer stone to use as a pot, and dug some small nests next to it to use as wine cups. Then he pulled out the thatch roots and stabbed the cow's neck.
It was just a joke, but unexpectedly the little flower cow was stabbed to death. Blood splashed everywhere and dyed a large area of rocks red. Everyone was surprised when they saw this.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was also afraid, it didn't take long for him to change his mind and simply stopped doing anything. He ordered his companions to skin the cow, collect firewood, and light a fire to cook the beef.
It didn't take long for the beef to be cooked. The children gathered around the "pot table" and ate and drank happily.
After finishing the pot of beef, it was already dark and it was time to go home.
At this time, a companion reminded Zhu Yuanzhang: "A few of us have eaten florets. How are you going to explain to the landowner when you go back?"
After everyone heard this, everyone was helpless and frightened.
But who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Just tell the landowner that the little flower cow got into the cave and can't be pulled out no matter how hard you pull it out. Let's see what he can do."
So everyone buried the cowhide and bones, stuffed the cow's head upside down in the cracks in the rocks in front of the mountain, and stuck the cow's tail in the cracks in the rocks behind the mountain, and each drove the cows home.
Zhu Yuanzhang went home, met the landowner, and told him about the little flower cow getting into the cave.
The landowner thought it was too mysterious to believe it, so he wanted to see it for himself. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the back of the mountain. Under the moonlight, he saw an ox's tail peeking out from the cracks in the rocks. He yanked it hard and heard the "moo" sound in front of the mountain. With a cry, I had to give up.
Later generations legend said that Zhu Yuanzhang was the real dragon emperor, and all the gods had to help him. The cow's cry was from the gods of the mountains.
Today, the red stones on the hillside were dyed red by cow's blood. Every midnight, they will emit a faint red light, which is as red as blood. Later generations named it "ox blood stone".
The red pit on the stone next to it is called "Hangniu Pot"
Many people thought this was just a legend, but it wasn't until the 1950s that when the government built the Deneng Reservoir to prevent and control floods, it blocked an original lake.
But who would have thought that after the water in the lake was drained, people discovered a village that was built a hundred years ago at the bottom of the lake.
Although it has been sleeping at the bottom of the lake for many years, the village is quite well preserved.
The local government did not dare to act rashly, so they called in the provincial scientific expedition team.
There are twelve people in the scientific expedition team. The leader is Liu Yunlian, an old scholar who is nearly fifty years old.
The group of them inspected the bottom of the lake for more than half a month and found nothing special. Just when everyone was about to give up, the sky suddenly turned gloomy and thick clouds covered the entire sun.
Come on, the original time of ten o'clock in the morning looks like midnight.
At this time, a female member of Liu Yunlian's team discovered that a dark red light was shining in a dry well not far from them.
Everyone was immediately attracted by the strange sight in front of them, and ran towards the dry well regardless of the coming heavy rain.
Several team members lay at the mouth of the well and looked into the well, and found that the well was actually not too deep, less than ten meters at most.
But the strange thing is that there are stone tables and stone benches under the dry well. There are also stone pots, stone bowls, and stone wine glasses on the table. I don’t know what kind of material these stones are made of. They shine like snow in the dark dry well. dark red light.
What puzzled the scientific expedition team members even more was that there was actually a person sitting under the dry well, an old man who was nearly a hundred years old, with hair as white as snow, and wearing ancient clothes. He was holding a yellow and white man in his arms. The white and white bull heads are looking at the scientific expedition team members above the well with a smile.
Liu Yunlian was an atheist and did not believe in any legends about gods and ghosts. In his heart, he only believed that the old man was from the village. When they were not prepared, he ran into the dry well and pretended to be a ghost.
So, without much thought, Liu Yunlian ordered his men to pull the old man out of the well.
But who would have thought that just as the scientific expedition team members were preparing to find the rope, there were suddenly three thunder blasts in the sky, followed by heavy rain that fell like a torrential downpour.
At this time, the scientific expedition team members who took the rope had returned, but when they arrived at the well, there was nothing in the dry well.
Not to mention the old man, even the tables, stools, stone cups, and stone bowls disappeared together.
Several members of the scientific expedition team looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Seeing that the old man was gone, Liu Yunlian ordered the team to retreat to a safe position.
The heavy rain continued for twelve days, causing the lake that had been drained to fill up again.
The elders in the village believed that this was the intention of the Dragon King to prevent the village at the bottom of the lake from seeing the light of day. The village chief had no choice but to build a dam in another place.
Liu Yunlian and his team left quickly after that incident. They did not mention to anyone what they saw underground.
But even so, a few years later, Liu Yunlian and the remaining eleven people in his team disappeared mysteriously, and no one has found out their whereabouts.
