I touched my nose and said, "Are you playing some tricks again?" Covering our ears so that we can't hear anything, isn't that just waiting for them to attack from behind
Boss Mei said with a bitter face: "I'm not lying to you. If you enter the Cave of Tears without covering your ears, you will definitely die. We who work in the Taoist profession are not immune to this!"
"Are you worthy of being called a Taoist?" I snorted, unable to guess whether what he said was true or false. But just in case, I stuffed paper balls into the ears of the other three except me and went in.
The humidity in the cave was quite high. As soon as I entered, I felt the air was damp and a musty smell hit my nose. I passed through a five or six meter long tunnel and entered a huge cave. The flashlight beam shone in all directions, and the opposite stone wall became just a small spot of light.
In front of us was a large pool of water, which took up 90% of the cave's area, with only a two-foot-wide path surrounding the pool.
Green mist rose from the water, which looked quite strange. The mist drifted over my body, and I felt extremely cold, and I couldn't help but shiver all over.
I thought to myself that I didn't hear any ghost crying, it seems that this bastard is just trying to trick us. Just when I was about to ask them to remove the paper ball from their ears, suddenly a faint ghost crying sound came from the depths of darkness, which penetrated into my ears and touched a ripple in my heart, and instantly I got goose bumps all over my body!
Fuck, this is real. I turned around and looked around, thinking that I should leave quickly. I can't stand the crying of living people, let alone the crying of ghosts, especially female ghosts. I pushed Mei Lao Da, and he looked up at the stone wall across the street and said, "The plank road is over there."
I looked in that direction and saw a plank road winding up from the base of the stone wall to the top of the cave. Because it was too high, the flashlight beam could not reach it, and I could not see clearly what was at the end of the plank road.
Boss Mei led the way, saying as he walked: "It is said that this cave was built by a plank road from inside the cave to make a hanging coffin for an ancient nobleman after his death. The reason why there are so many ghosts in this cave is that this pool was originally a burial pit. It is said that this nobleman was lustful during his lifetime and collected many beautiful women. After his death, he buried these women here. Then he performed a ritual to seal the entrance of the cave, so that their ghosts could not leave this place and accompany the nobleman's body all year round. Their ghosts could not escape, so they shed tears in pain all year round, and finally formed a ghost tear pool."
The story he told gave me chills. Women are full of resentment, and there are so many of them that it is inevitable that there will be a few evil spirits. If they jump out to make trouble for us, Boss Mei must be tied up. I have to protect the three of them and fight the ghosts by myself. I feel like I can't handle it.
So as he walked, he silently said in his heart: "Beautiful ladies, you have suffered a lot. We are good people, so please don't come out. Later, I will help you remove the ban and let you go to the underworld to reincarnate."
"Woo woo..."
Damn, praying in my heart is useless. Instead, the crying became louder. From the crying, I could tell that there were no less than a hundred female ghosts. The crying was so miserable and gloomy that it was needless to say. The problem was that it was really as Boss Mei said, their crying could really shake people's hearts!
At the beginning, the faint cry of the female ghost touched my heart. When all the ghosts cried together, I immediately felt a wave of tears of injustice, which drowned my heart. I felt particularly sad and my eyes could not help but become wet. I couldn't help but think of my dead father and Yaxue, and tears just flowed down my face!
It seemed as if I could hear their voices coming up from under the water.
"Xiao Feng, I'm suffering down there, why don't you come and rescue me?"
"Xifeng, I'm Yaxue. I'm having a hard time here. Please come and save me!"
I shuddered, staring at the water, their painful faces slowly emerged on the surface. I was shocked, but I shouted to myself in my heart: "Don't believe it, this is fake, this is an illusion created by the female ghost, don't look at it!"
But his eyes seemed to be held by an invisible force and he couldn't move them away. Listening to their complaints, his heart warmed and he was about to jump!
