"Wuchi Dragon Palace is divided into upper, middle and lower floors. The entrances of the lower and middle floors are in front. They are open to tourists during the day, and the entrances of the upper floors are relatively hidden. It is difficult for ordinary people to find them except for us locals."
"The middle layer is a land densely covered with stone forests. According to legend, this place is the residence of the Dragon King on the land. The lower layer is pierced by an underground river. According to legend, it is the residence of the Dragon King in the water. And the upper layer has a hole connected to the top of the mountain. A place to ascend." The tour guide surnamed Li is still a talkative person, and has been introducing news about Wuchi Dragon Palace along the way.
"I heard that there are people living in the upper floors of Wuchi Dragon Palace. I don't know if it is true or not?"
"There are many karst caves in the upper level of the Wuchi Dragon Palace. The environment in that place is dry, and because the openings there are aimed at the sky and the sun can shine directly down, the upper level of the Wuchi Dragon Palace has always been inhabited. Back then, the Japanese invaded China At that time, in order to avoid the war, people even reclaimed wasteland on the upper level of the Dragon Palace and planted food."
"I also heard that the people who live in the upper floors of Wuchi Dragon Palace are not ordinary people. They are all gods. I don't know if this is true or not?"
"Boss, you want me to take you to the upper level of the Dragon Palace, don't you just want to see the legendary gods?"
Seeing that I didn’t speak, the tour guide Li smiled and said: “There can be no gods in this world. Although I don’t know much about the people living in the upper floors of the Dragon Palace. According to my guess, they are actually a group of ordinary people. It’s just that their ancestors have been living in the upper echelons of the Dragon Palace, and they have been reluctant to leave."
"Some people outside said that people living in the upper floors of the Dragon Palace can skip eating or drinking, and they can fly over the walls. These are all fake in my opinion. Because I have seen people living in the upper floors of the Dragon Palace come out to buy things."
"Some people say that the reason why the upper layer of the Dragon Palace is not developed is because this group of special people live in the upper layer of the Dragon Palace. In fact, this is also unbearable. The reason why the upper layer of the Dragon Palace has never been developed is actually because The ground of the upper karst cave is relatively thin. If it is developed vigorously and there are too many tourists in the later period, it is easy to cause a collapse and eventually destroy the entire upper karst cave."
Hearing what the tour guide Li said, I thought about it and asked, "There are very few people living in the upper floors of the Dragon Palace.
go away? "
"Yes, they rarely leave the upper floors of the Dragon Palace, because they have been out of touch with society for too long, and they like quietness and are not comfortable with this noisy world."
I vaguely felt a sense of loss in my heart. If it was really as the tour guide Li said, then the group of people living in the upper part of the Dragon Palace might not know the Ku Family Compound. In this way, my trip is worthless.
"Where are we going up from?"
I followed the tour guide Li and unknowingly came to the cave.
The surrounding light dimmed slightly, and all kinds of peculiarly shaped stone forests were scattered all around, which seemed to have come to another world.
"There is a trail in front that leads to the upper karst cave, but this trail is not easy to walk." Tour guide Li said here, paused for a moment and then said: "I will take you through the trail to reach the upper karst cave. However, there is someone guarding the end of the trail. If the other party does not let it go, you can't blame me."
"Don't worry, as long as you can take me to the upper karst cave, even if you have completed the task."
Hearing what I said, Tour Guide Li was somewhat relieved. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and then said: "The group of people above regarded the cave as their home. When they were engaged in tourism development, they blocked in every way. Later, when the scenic spot was just opened, they deliberately made trouble. Also. Because of this, the above group of people have a weird temper. When you meet them in a while, you can endure as much as you can. You are an outsider, and it is best not to conflict with them."
"Got it."
I followed the tour guide Li, circling around in the karst cave on the ground, and came to a small dark cave entrance.
"Passing through this cave, there is a slope behind, and you can reach the upper karst cave along the slope." Guide Li smiled at me, and then said: "This road was discovered when we were young. The entrance is a bit small. , I have to wrong you."
After the tour guide Li finished speaking, he first fell down and crawled through the small hole on the ground. When I saw it, I followed his example, and passed through the entrance to a rugged slope.
"Nature is so superbly crafted, maybe no one wants to go through this small hole, and go to another
In a space outside. "
Tour guide Li shook his head gently, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and said: "I will send you to this place. If you keep going up this road, you will be able to reach the upper level of the Dragon Palace."
Seeing that I didn’t speak, Tour Guide Li explained: “Don’t worry, I will never lie to you. I have been a tour guide in the Dragon Palace for more than five years, and I will not smash my own sign. Besides, if you find me Lie to you, after a while, you can find me after you come out."
"Okay, you go back first, but I have to tell the ugly thing ahead of time. If you dare to lie to me, I will make you regret it when I come out."
"Don't worry, boss. But let me verbally say that the people above are not particularly good-tempered. Boss, remember, don't offend them. You are an outsider, if you offend them, you will suffer in the end. The person must be you."
After the tour guide Li finished speaking, he disappeared into my sight along the same path. I stood in place, hesitated for a while, and then slowly went all the way up.
After walking up the road for about five or six minutes, interesting firelight appeared in my sight.
Seeing this ray of fire, my heart was shaken slightly. The fire can at least explain one thing, indicating that there was an activity ahead, and Tour Guide Li did not deceive me.
I continued to walk up, because it was quiet all around, so the sound of my feet tapping the ground spread far.
After walking for about two minutes, when I saw the torch from a distance, suddenly, two figures sprang out from the dark.
Two old men, one fat and one thin, blocked my way. Before I could speak, the fat old man said sharply: "If you go wrong, please go back the same way."
When I heard the fat old man's words, I smiled and said, "If I didn't go the wrong way and want to visit you, I wonder if you are welcome?"
"Strangers are not welcome in this place, please go back."
"Don't, I finally found this place, let me go in for a visit, how about?"
"Don't leave again, be careful that the old man gets angry."
"Get angry? It doesn't matter, I will control the fire."
My voice fell, and before the fat old man could react, I acted casually, and the flame on the torch was instantly peeled off and flew directly to my fingertips.
