Qu Mo climbed up with all his strength, carefully checked the top structure, and said to me while lying on it: "You can reach the top with your hand, but the beam structure is very solid, and there must be a cap on the mountain. There is no way out."
I felt a little discouraged, but I still refused to give up. This was my only hope. So I let her come down, and I stepped on her shoulders to climb up. The top structure was indeed very solid. I pushed hard, but it didn't move at all. Looking up from the outside of the tower, the top of the tower was against the top of the mountain. Qu Mo might be right. Even if the top of the tower was dismantled, we still couldn't get out.
I sighed and was about to go down, when I suddenly put my hand on the wooden board and felt the uneven marks, as if there were words engraved on it. My headlamp was broken, so I couldn't see the situation on the wooden board, so I asked Qu Mo to throw the headlamp up. On the edge of this half-foot thick wooden board, there were four big words engraved: "Strength to pull out dragons and snakes!"
Apart from this, there are no other words. What does this mean? I looked up at the top and noticed that there was a dragon head protruding from the top, sticking out its tongue, with its beard and hair spread out, looking very imposing. There is a dragon but no snake. I turned my head and looked again, and suddenly I thought, is the word snake deliberately written wrong? Is it a metaphor to pull out the dragon's tongue
Whatever it is, let's try it first. He stood up and stretched out his hand to hold the dragon's tongue. This thing is too well made. Why does it feel like a man's thing
I pulled it down hard and felt the dragon's tongue stretched down a few centimeters, but it didn't come out completely. When they say "pull hard", it means they are trying to destroy it, so why should I retain any strength? Thinking of this, I put all my strength into my hands and pulled it down hard. With a "snap", the dragon's tongue was pulled out, more than a foot long, like a mallet.
As I was looking down at this thing, I heard a dull "creaking" sound above my head, and I felt the tower was shaking. I looked up in surprise, haha, it was indeed the exit!
The top of the tower is like a flower bud that is slowly opening its petals, and a ray of sunlight shines in, and you can immediately feel the warmth.
"Ah, it really is an exit!" Qu Mo jumped and laughed below. It turned out that this reserved girl could also show the joyful look of a little girl when she encountered a surprise.
The top of the tower was completely opened after a few minutes, and there was a straight shaft tunnel on it, leading to the outside of the mountain. The tunnel was about ten meters deep, but there was a row of iron handrails built on the stone wall of the tunnel for climbing up. I jumped down and woke Shen Bing up, and first got Wang Zijun and Lu Fei up there. Qu Mo and I tied them to our bodies and carried them on our backs. Shen Bing led the way, and we climbed all the way up and finally escaped!
The entrance of the cave is located on a solitary peak, which is steep on all sides and impossible to climb up from below. They also had good intentions, digging the belly of the mountain according to the topography of the mountain and building a tower below. No one would have thought of leaving a person alive here. Even if they thought of it, they might not be able to climb up.
There were a bunch of iron chains coiled on the top of the tower, which seemed to be prepared for the escapees. We pulled out the iron chains and lowered them down the mountain, and watched them just reach the root. Before going down, I reluctantly hung this piece of black ghost essence on the top of the tower, and then inserted the dragon tongue into the dragon mouth, and the top of the tower slowly closed again.
With the ghosts guarding, those dead ghosts dare not enter the tower, nor will they discover this mechanism, and they will be sealed in the belly of the mountain forever. Otherwise, if they are released, I don’t know how many people will be killed, there are thousands of them!
When we returned to Jilong Village, it was already past 11pm, and our car was still parked at the entrance of the village. But just as we were about to open the door and go in, a group of villagers suddenly rushed out from all directions, each holding a flashlight or torch, and surrounded us.
Wu Daliang ran out of the crowd, pointed at us and shouted, "It's them. They pretended to be gentlemen and said they would help us out, but my wife disappeared. Give me my wife back!" The guy was furious and grabbed me by the collar.
We looked at each other, not knowing how to explain to him. If we told him that his wife died in there, he would definitely not let us go. At this moment, the villagers suddenly shouted: "They killed someone, look, he's covered in blood!"
I rolled my eyes and sneered, "We killed the Blood Demon God and got covered in blood. If you think you are more powerful than the Blood Demon God, you might as well do it!"
When Wu Daliang heard this, he trembled all over. He had seen vampires before, so he quickly loosened my collar. But they still surrounded us and refused to let us go. Qu Mo turned around and saw that Wang Zijun was still unconscious. His expression suddenly changed, and his tail swung out. This look was very creepy at night!
When the villagers saw Qu Mo's appearance, they were so scared that they screamed and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing towards the village in panic.
Wu Daliang turned around and ran after him, but he slipped in the snow and fell to the ground, spraining his ankle and unable to get up.
I waved at Qu Mo, letting her return to her original form. I went forward to pull Wu Daliang up and said to him, "Your wife was killed by a blood ghost. That's all I can tell you. But the blood ghost has really been eradicated by us, and no evil things will happen in the village anymore."
Wu Daliang thought we were all monsters. He was so scared that his whole body was shaking and his teeth were chattering. It took him a long time to cry.
Just as we were about to leave, I suddenly remembered something and asked Wu Daliang, who was still standing there crying, "Five years ago, did any stranger come to the village and enter the Yinfeng Cave?"
Wu Daliang replied in a trembling voice: "A stranger has been here, and he's a bald man!"
Damn his second uncle, it was Mei Ruoqi, who came here five years ago to get a demon fetus and a spirit boy. I wonder what she was doing? Fortunately, this woman died, otherwise, I don’t know how many people would be harmed!
Before we left, as a token of apology, I gave Wu Daliang 2,000 yuan, which was all I had. However, this amount of money was probably a huge sum of money in the village. I asked him to find a new wife, but as for his dead wife's body, I could do nothing about it, and she could only sleep forever in the Yinfeng Cave.
Shen Bing drove out of the village and onto the main road. There was no traffic jam. When driving back to Taiyuan, Lu Fei woke up. He said to me with a sick look on his face: "Go back to my home and ask my master for help. Only then can I recover completely."
I thought so too. The master who taught him the Nine-Character Mantra must have some experience in restoring vitality. If he goes back with us, I'm afraid he will suffer from sequelae, such as hemiplegia. It's hard to say.
The traffic police had cleared the snow on the highway, and we got off at the Taigu Expressway Exit. Although Lu Fei couldn't drive yet, he pointed the way to Shen Bing and drove all the way to Taigu County.
