Just in case, we searched the nearby grass for a while. When we were sure that the strange thing had indeed escaped, we all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did the blind man look like this when he was very young?" Sister Li's words gave me goosebumps all over my body. Based on the various circumstances we currently know, Sister Li's inference is very unlikely. Maybe it's true. When I think about it, that tall blind man makes me feel even more terrifying and disgusting.

After everyone calmed down, we gathered around the well again. Based on the experience last time, everyone became cautious this time, and no one dared to look into the well again.

Xiao Lei threw a few more stones into the well to test, and after seeing nothing unusual, he used a flashlight to shine into the well. At this time, everyone gathered around and looked into the well.

Under the illumination of several strong flashlights, this dark and mysterious ancient well was finally under our prying eyes.

The inside of the well looks very ordinary. The walls of the well are made of stones and are uneven. Most of the ancient folk wells look like this. At that time, they were all dug manually, and wells were considered the most basic survival resources. The so-called "inhabited people" "Wherever there is a well," the craftsmanship is not about exquisiteness, but only about practicality.

I remember that many ancient wells in our village looked like this, and most of these ancient wells have become dry wells without water. I remember when I was a child, a child in his teens once went down there out of curiosity. I went into a dry well and suffocated to death in it. After I grew up, I learned that there are usually inert gases in such ancient wells and cellars, and it is very dangerous for people to go down rashly.

But when I looked carefully, I found something special about this ancient well. Not only was there water in it, but the water was also rolling violently. What was going on? Could it be that the water in the well was boiling water?

Probably not. If it is boiling water, it will definitely be steaming, but under the illumination of a flashlight, we can't see any steam.

When we were all concentrating on looking into the well, we suddenly heard the female translator exclaim: "Look, the water has turned red."

The water turned red. Why didn't I notice it? I quickly rubbed my eyes and looked into the well carefully, but I still didn't find any sign of the well water turning red.

What's going on? I'm not color blind. If it turns red, why can't I see it?

Not only me, but no one except the female translator felt that the well water turned red. This is really strange.

When she learned that none of us noticed that the well water turned red, the female translator was even more surprised and confused. She closed her eyes first, tried to calm herself down, then opened them and looked into the well again.

"Oh my god, the well water has turned blood red now. Have you noticed it now?"

We were even more surprised when we heard what the female translator said. We all stretched our necks and opened our eyes to look at the water in this ancient well under the strong light of the flashlight, but no matter how we looked, we couldn't see it. There was a hint of red in the well water. It was really a ghost. The female translator had a vision problem or was possessed by something evil.

"My eyesight has always been normal. What's going on? I clearly saw the well water turn blood red, but you couldn't see it," the female translator said with a look of panic on her face.

We all looked at each other, wondering why this strange phenomenon occurred.

Crazy Six suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He quickly walked around behind the female translator and took a closer look at her back. For some reason, his face immediately became extremely serious and he hurriedly said to us: "The current situation is It's very dangerous, we can't stay for a moment longer, we have to leave right away,"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Although we didn't know what was going on, seeing Crazy Six's reaction made us feel very frightened, so we all followed Crazy Six and hurriedly left the ancient well.

Only Xiao Lei seemed to be unwilling to accept it and still stood at the mouth of the well, wanting to observe it for a while longer. It was not until Hong Mei came over to pull him that he reluctantly withdrew with us.

Along the way, Madman Liuyi didn't say a word and just walked quickly with a dull face. Seeing his expression, we didn't dare to ask any more questions, so we just followed closely behind.

After arriving at the hotel, Crazy Six said: "Let's all go to the Japanese friend's room. I have something very important to say."

After entering the room, the Japanese scholars and Tanaka hurriedly gathered around and chatted in Japanese with the female translator for a while. They should have been talking about the situation of this operation, but we couldn't understand a word. However, I You can see the surprised expressions on the faces of these old Japanese men.

Madman Six, on the other hand, was sitting in a chair, blankly in a daze, as if he had fallen into some kind of deep thought.

After about ten minutes, the room gradually became quiet, and everyone focused their attention on Crazy Six.

"Old sir, what is going on with what we encountered today? I think you seem to know the mystery. What is going on? I'm afraid we have to trouble you to tell us."

My cousin carefully reminded Madman Liu who was still in a daze. After hearing his question, Madman Liu seemed to have regained consciousness. He took the tea handed over by Hongmei and took a few sips. I noticed that he was holding the tea cup. His hands were trembling slightly, his lips were moving, and he opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.

After a full minute or two, Madman Six's mood seemed to have stabilized a little. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then said leisurely: "The most terrifying thing today is not the person who ran out of the well. That monster is the well water in the well."

The water in the well, what's scary about the water in the well? How could it be scarier than that monster? It must be Crazy Six who didn't see the monster clearly, that's why he said this.

Although I kept mumbling in my heart, I didn't say it out loud because it might be impolite to say so directly. Instead, my cousin gently asked with his usual gentleness and calmness: "Well, the water in that ancient well is , is it really as scary as you said? But from our perspective, the well water is no different from ordinary well water except that it seems to be boiling."

After hearing what his cousin said, Crazy Six sighed softly, shook his head and said, "Oh, you don't know, the water in that well is the 'water of the underworld' mentioned in ancient books."

"'Water of the Underworld', is it true? Does the 'Water of the Underworld' mentioned in ancient books really exist? I thought it was a fabrication. If it is true as you said, this is really amazing."

What exactly is "water of the underworld" and why is my cousin so surprised when he hears this name?

Regarding his cousin's question, Crazy Six didn't explain much and just nodded silently.

At this time, except for my cousin and Crazy Six, all of us were confused. What the hell is "water from the underworld"? Cousin Hui and Crazy Six would have such a reaction.

Our cousin's next explanation made us suddenly realize. At the same time, we were all extremely shocked that there was such a magical "water from the underworld" in the world.

It turns out that this kind of "water of the underworld" was mentioned for the first time in an ancient book from the pre-Qin period. This ancient book is called "The Sutra of Souls" and it is a book that records myths and legends from ancient times.

This book mentioned that there is a mountain called Moyin Mountain. This Moyin Mountain is very special. It is very steep. There are cliffs on all sides of the mountain, and they tower into the clouds, like a big stone pillar standing among the mountains. But this "stone pillar" is big enough. It would take more than ten days to circle around it.

What's even more strange is that the top of Moyin Mountain, which is like a stone pillar, is a plain with fertile soil, covering dozens of miles in radius.

Not only that, there are still people living on the plain on the top of the mountain. According to locals, because the terrain of this mountain is so dangerous, people below have never been able to climb up, and people on the top of the mountain have never been able to come down. Therefore, the people on the mountain top plain are completely isolated from the people below the mountain.

In that case, how do people at the bottom of the mountain know that there are people living on the top of the mountain? Because on a certain day every spring, there will be loud shouts from the top of the mountain. It seems like thousands of people gather together and shout loudly. What are you wearing?

Not only that, on this day, a basket tied with a long rope will be lowered from the top of the mountain. There is a corpse in the basket. This corpse looks very scary and looks very much like the legendary ghost from the underworld: its body and human body They are very similar, but the skin all over the body is green, especially the head, which is shaped like a triangle, and the mouth and eyes on the face are very much like the mouth and eyes of a toad, which looks extremely scary.

For thousands of years, this weird thing has happened every spring on a certain day.

So the people at the foot of the mountain guessed that this might be a sacrificial ceremony for the people on the mountain. So what was the corpse in the basket? Was it their own kind, or was it a kind of monster or livestock they raised.

Out of extreme curiosity, some very courageous people wanted to climb up to the top of the mountain along this rope to have a look. However, some of these people fell down and died, and some did not see anyone alive or dead. In short, there was no trace of it. A person can successfully go up and down again, so the plain on the top of the mountain has become an eternal secret to the people below the mountain.

It wasn't until one year that a man named "Huang" finally succeeded in climbing to the top of the mountain. Three years later, he successfully returned to the bottom of the mountain. Through Huang's narration, the people at the bottom of the mountain gradually understood the secret of the top of the mountain.

Why can't others go up, but this Huang can? What did Huang see on the top of the mountain?

Huang's body shape is very distinctive. He is very thin and light, but he is extremely powerful. His arms, especially, are longer than those of ordinary people. These characteristics are extremely beneficial for climbing.

Because Huang's father was a herbal collector, he went up the mountain with his father to collect herbs since he was very young, which developed his extraordinary climbing skills.

At that time, many extremely rare herbs grew on cliffs that were extremely difficult to climb. In order to collect such herbs, many herb collectors often trained monkeys to do so.

But no matter how difficult the herbs were to collect, they were all collected by Huang himself, never using a monkey. People gradually came to know that Huang's climbing ability was even better than that of a monkey.

After deciding to go to the top of the mountain to have a look, Huang climbed up along the rope. He brought rations and a bundle of small wooden sticks with him. This kind of small wooden sticks was only as thick as a thumb, but it was not ordinary wood, but made of a special kind of wood. Made from cut trees, the wood is extremely hard and difficult to break.

In addition, Huang also brought a tough rope made of rattan.

When climbing, Huang Hui inserted the wooden stick into the crack of the stone while climbing up, and then put one end of his own rope on it and tied the other end to his waist, forming a very important protective measure.

When he got tired from climbing, he would use the sticks and ropes to hang on the rock wall to rest.

Moreover, Huang will not always hold on to the rope to climb up. When he can climb up without the help of a rope, he will rely on his own climbing skills to climb up the rock wall.

It was by relying on these successful strategies, coupled with his superhuman climbing ability and endurance, that he finally succeeded in reaching the top of the mountain and saw an extremely wonderful and strange world.

When Huang didn't know how many days and nights he finally climbed to the top of the plain above the clouds, he was so tired that he fainted. When he woke up, he found that he was surrounded by a group of monsters, and these monsters and those in the basket The bodies inside are almost identical.

It turns out that these "people" on the plains all look like this.

Fortunately, these "people" chatted around Huang for a while and did not harm Huang. Instead, they carried Huang to their residence. Their residence also surprised Huang, because the residence of these "people" was neither Ordinary houses are not caves, but underground caves, tunnels dug into flat ground.
