Chapter 28: Seeing Huangquan Road Again
I looked at him speechlessly, thinking he was just for the friendship between us. I didn't expect that this guy just couldn't change his shit, and he just wanted to get rich all day long. I guess he'd been like this for the rest of his life.
The place we were going to is not very far from Beijing City. The car arrived after driving for more than ten hours. It seems that we have learned from the lessons from the previous few times. This time we brought a lot of equipment, and almost every ten people were carrying them. I looked a little helpless, but in fact, some things were not needed at all. But they insisted on taking them with them, so when they arrived at the place, they knew that this was really a waste of time.
After parking, we walked for another day. It was not far away. It was just that I came here for the first time. The specific location had to be carefully considered according to the old man's simple description. So when we arrived at the place, it was already late.
"Is it here? The wolf's nest top?" Looking at the mountain peaks in front of me that were gradually sinking into the night, the fat man's face gradually became excited. As he said, as soon as he encountered the opportunity to get rich, he would be like he was injected with chicken blood. The so-called asking for money but not life is someone like him.
The surrounding area is covered with flat ground, just like what the master said, and there is no sign of passiveness, but it has been decades since the incident, and I don’t know whether it has been moved or not.
Hum? I suddenly thought, since there has never been a passive place, where should the old man come in? According to him, he met another group of young people inside and finally found his way out. I am sure that the way they came out was definitely not here.
But even if there is another way, we cannot find it. This is our only way. It is not difficult to find this way. We came with a master, a very old lame man, who is in his fifties, looks very thin and haggard, and always wears a pair of sunglasses. However, he is not blind, wearing sunglasses is just his habit. He will wear these sunglasses no matter where he is. I don’t know why.
The lame man held the compass in his hand and looked around, and soon found the target location. A place where grass grew vigorously was more prosperous than other places. This can be seen that this place had been moved before.
There were many people and great power. It took the old man and his team nearly a day to penetrate the place, but we had more than a dozen people, and it took only half a day to hit twenty meters. At this depth, the soil became different. The soil was wet and soft, and the original black soil also turned into loess.
After hitting about two meters, our tool was blocked by a heavy stone slab. I was puzzled. The old man had never said that there was a stone slab under it. I went down to check it out in person. Sure enough, the stone slab seemed to have been made in recent years, with words engraved on it, and the traces were very fresh. "The road to the underworld is changing, ghosts and gods, please turn around and don't get closer."
It is an authentic simplified Chinese character, and simplified Chinese character was gradually revised after liberation, which means that this stone slab has not existed for many years. Who made it? Is it that old man? It is unlikely that the old man would not do such "boring" things.
We will naturally not be frightened by the carvings on the stone slabs. In order to go up and down, the stone slab was chiseled in less than an hour. As the master described, there is a stone cave below, and the diameter of the stone cave is larger the further down.
The fat man and I took the lead and crawled into the cave first. After about twenty minutes, we finally saw the magical fountain. The spring water was indeed very turbid, as if it was stirred with yellow mud, but the water was very calm, and the strangeness of this water source could be seen. But when I shine down with a searchlight, I found that the visibility of the water was very high, which seemed clearer than ordinary river water.
It is indeed very magical, or it can be said to be very strange. How can such a turbid spring water have such high visibility? I can't figure it out.
"Little Prince, what should we do next?"
I pointed to the bottom and said, "The outlet is at the bottom of the water, but it is very deep here. If you take a lot of things like this, it will be difficult to dive to the bottom. We must use some things." Then I told him the method used by the old man.
"If it's really like you said, I can only do this." The fat man nodded in agreement, suddenly grinned and pretended to say: "Haha, little prince, everyone says that if we don't give up, we actually see the legendary Huangquan now. What does this mean?"
I glanced at him and couldn't help but chuckled. "Fatty, you said it wrong. It's because you don't give up until the Yellow River, not the Yellow Spring."
"Is the Yellow River? I remember it seems to be a fountain, right?"
"It's the Yellow River."
"Oh! But no matter whether it is the Yellow River or the Yellow Spring, it means that we are extremely dangerous this time. Hey, you said, after we get on the Yellow Spring Road, will we encounter any Naihe Bridge again, and we can even see the legendary King of Hell?"
"Haha, it depends on ourselves. If we are always careful, we may not meet the King of Hell, but if we are careless, we may meet the King of Hell. You should understand the meaning, right?"
"Okay, Master Gua, I understand. What you mean is that if we are not careful, we will lose our lives at any time, right?"
"Just understand." After saying that, I jumped into the water without waiting for him to talk more.
The water here is not very cold and there is no odor. I followed the old man's method and fell into the water with a stone in my arms, so I dived very quickly. When I felt stuffy in my chest, I finally fell to the bottom of the water.
When I saw the situation around me, I was a little stunned. It was completely different from what the old man said. At that time, the old man said that he saw two symmetrical holes, but now I see three, with balanced positions and can be connected into an equilateral triangle.
How is that possible? How could there be an extra hole inexplicably? Did the old man lied to me? But why did he lied to me? It didn’t make any sense!
This thought flashed in my mind like lightning. I swam quickly to a cave entrance, but I saw that there were still words engraved above the cave entrance. "Previous life?" What does this mean? Why is it engraved here? Who carved it? I took out the prepared bottle and changed it to a breath, and then looked at the other two cave entrances. There are two words each, namely "This life" and "Rebirth".
What do three cave entrances and three different words mean? Do each cave entrance represent two words on their respective cave entrance? "Previous life" and "This life" are easy to understand, and what does "rebirth" mean? This word covers too broadly, often has the meaning of looking back, yearning, and experience, but combined with the word "rebirth", the most widely used should be the meaning of future generations. Or, its meaning is the future generation that people yearn for.
