Chapter 59

  Situ noticed that Aru and Lichang's expressions didn't match, so he deliberately walked over to them and asked: "Do you know the middle-aged ticket seller?"

  Arzu didn't say anything.

  The trainmaster's face was gloomy, "He has a few similarities with that beast."

  "Sze-to immediately reacted, 'Rou's ex-husband?'"

  The train conductor nodded slightly.

  "Looks like we'll be spending the night here tonight," Si Tu Yi said with a knowing smile.

  Cheng Zhou turned around and said, "Shouldn't we call the police first?"

  "Wait until we find Dan Ge and Xiao Mei's corpses before talking."

  The trainmaster and Arzu shook hands tightly.

  The mountain road to Zhenyandong is also easy to recognize, and there are simple signs at the bends in the road telling you which way to go. After turning two bends, we arrived at a large cave half buried underground.

  The entrance of the cave is not particularly large, roughly the size that can accommodate a big bear, but it seems to be quite deep inside.

  Chengzhou stopped in his tracks and looked at a sign posted at the entrance of the cave.

  The sign is an introduction to Zhenyandong.

  It is said that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taishang Laojun Zhang Daoling once closed his door and suddenly realized the Taoist law in this place, attracting fierce beasts in the mountains to come and worship. Finally, Zhang Daoling left the cave, riding a fierce tiger away. From then on, a shadow wall was left in the cave, which is the cave wall that Zhang Daoling faced when he sat in meditation. After Zhang Daoling realized the supreme Taoist law and left, the cave wall retained the shadow of Zhang Daoling's sitting figure.

  Later generations discovered that the shadow wall can detect whether the person facing it is telling the truth or lying, and its accuracy is said to be comparable to a lie detector.

  Cheng Zhou snorted, "At a glance, it's obviously a fabricated legend."

  Situ patted him on the back, "It's all about publicity, it's all the same everywhere. Without some legendary stories, who would come to play in a small hill that's less than 300 meters high?"

  The trainmaster also shook his head, "There was nothing like this before, nor was there such a legend, it's all nonsense."

  "It seems that someone has been trying to boost the tourism industry in your hometown, so they made up a story to add cultural depth. But even if it's a fabricated story, there should be a shadow wall to back it up, do you know of such a shadow wall?" asked Situ.

  The trainmaster shook his head again, "Anyway, I didn't hear or see that shadow wall when I was alive, and I didn't notice it after I died. Besides, before I left this cave, there were basically no tourists coming."

  Chengzhou hesitated for a moment, "Judging from the new and old road signs, this Zhenyandong was probably also built in recent years. Let's go take a look inside."

  Arrived at the end of the earth, Hongye also woke up.

  She slid down from Cheng Chou's back, and the red leaves tilted her head to glance at the deep cave, said "interesting", and pulled Cheng Chou in.

  Hong Ye said something interesting, and Situ's footsteps paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.

  At this time, there were very few tourists in the Zhēn Yán cave, which had something to do with the time. It was almost three thirty, and even for some large tourist areas, it was also a time when tourists were rushing back.

  There is wiring inside the cave and simple lighting.

  But it's really very simple lighting, without some developed and improved cave lighting effects.

  "This cave is roughly gourd-shaped, with the front being a large hall, several narrow passages in the middle, and a very spacious karst cave at the back. There's an underground level, so be careful when walking. On one side there's a waterway that looks narrow but is quite deep, and if you're not careful, people can fall in."

  The trainmaster is introducing the situation in the cave to everyone.

  A rope was pulled along the waterway with a warning sign hanging on it, which is considered a safety measure.

  Walking along the rope and going inside, you will see several large and small caves. This is the narrow passage leading to the back cave.

  Two small children were frolicking by the rope way, they seemed very interested in the red leaves, and would occasionally steal a glance at him.

  Hongye made a face at them.

  Two little kids stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly jumped up together, laughing and shouting, and the two little heads leaned in to start discussing something in hushed tones.

  Chengzhou saw the two mischievous little devils and smiled warmly, also casually stroking his own son's head. The two children were probably local kids, dressed very simply, looking like they were only six or seven years old.

  The train conductor's gaze also swept over the two children, pointing ahead and saying: "Those narrow paths are also very dangerous. Normally, even if someone walks from behind, they will always walk on the second path from left to right, which is the flattest. The other paths either lead underground or simply have no road, and some are too narrow for people to squeeze through."

  Chengzhou looked at the huge cave and listened to Lichang's introduction, couldn't help but feel a little curious, "Such a big hole, has anyone ever done anything inside in the past?"

  "What can be done? Hide food, avoid disaster or station troops?" The train conductor laughed, "We locals have many legends about this large cave, but none of them are very reliable, and not many people believe in them. In the past when times were tough, I didn't hear old folks say they would hide in this cave, probably because it's too humid and the terrain is quite dangerous. Ah yes, I remember that when I was a kid, two little kids got lost inside here, Ar Zhu, do you still remember that?"

  A Zhu thought for a moment, then clapped her hands, "Ah, I remember! I was already 10 years old at that time. Many adults in the village held torches to search for them in the cave, but they still couldn't find the children. At that time, many people said that the two children were taken by the mountain god who lived in the cave as his child attendants."

  Chengzhou...with great difficulty withdrew his gaze from those two children and lowered his head to look at his own son.

  "Father, those two little devils are very powerful."

  Cheng Zhou pinched him and didn't dare look at those two children again.

  However, those two children took an interest in them and followed Cheng Chou from behind, about the distance of a red leaf and a cedar tree apart, not daring to get too close.

  Cheng Chou was chilled to the bone by their pursuit.

  Hong Ye surprisingly didn't show any territorial awareness and shook off Cheng Chou's hand, beckoning to the two little ghosts.

  Two little ghosts looked at each other and hopped in front of the red leaves.

  A big dot of little devil standing with red leaves forked at its waist.

  Hong Ye kicked that little devil's calf.

  The little devil let out a scream and hid behind his companion's back.

  Hongye beckoned to them again, and this time the two little ghosts didn't dare put on airs, obediently walking in front of Hongye.

  Chengzhou saw three little heads huddled together whispering to each other, he was extremely curious about what the three little ghosts were talking about, but he didn't have the guts to sneak up and eavesdrop.

  After a while, the two little ghosts nodded to Hong Ye and jumped into the waterway by the side of the road, and disappeared in an instant.

  Chengzhou asked the returned red leaf, "What did you tell them?"

  "Red Leaf said unashamedly: 'I made them work for me, if they didn't I would eat them, and they agreed.'"

  "What did you have them do?"

  The red leaf giant swung his hand with a majestic momentum, "You don't need to worry about this!"

  Chengzhou looked at his son with a deep sense of resentment and grievance. This father had no dignity.

  Hongye grasped his hand and kissed it with a "smack", comforting him.

  Chengzhou... The shattered self-esteem was healed at once, and he immediately smiled and walked forward with his son's small hand in hand.

  A'zhu looked at this father-son interaction and felt extremely envious.

  The train master held her and said in a low voice: "In our next life, we will definitely be together, and we will definitely have children of our own, it's bound to happen."

  Achoo!

  "Where is your corpse buried?" Sito asked.

  A'zhu hastily wiped his eyes, the train conductor pointed forward, "In the rear cave, they killed me in the front cave, but buried my bones in the rear cave."

  Chengzhou also heard it and came to the fork in the road along the direction of the train's long hand.

  "Where shall we go first? The True Words Cave is the first cave on the left, and the Rear Cave can be accessed from the second cave?" Cheng Zhou asked for everyone's opinion.

  As a result, everyone looked at Hong Ye.

  "This is a good place."

  "Huh?"

  "The atmosphere here is different from other places. In scientific terms, it's a problem with the magnetic field; in superstitious terms, this is an excellent yin tomb."

  Hong Ye said to Lie Che, "It's also your luck. If you didn't die here, it would be difficult for you to leave this place within ten years, let alone have the power to attack. For ordinary vengeful spirits like yourself, the best way to grow stronger is to devour other wandering spirits, such as Si Tu. But you are completely relying on the yin energy here to maintain your consciousness and gain strength."

  Upon hearing that Situ had grown stronger by devouring other yin spirits, including Cheng Chou, all three of them were shocked.

  Situ smiled faintly, seemingly completely unbothered by the fact that his method was overpowering.

  Chengzhou probably thought his expression wasn't quite right, so he immediately covered it up by patting Situ's arm and praising him loudly: "You're awesome!"

  Speechless, Si Tu looked at him, "You're raising a son who treats evil spirits and ghosts as snacks, who can be more awesome than you?"

  "If that's the case, shouldn't there be a lot of ghosts here?" The train conductor couldn't understand why he felt an inexplicable and intense fear towards Akane Kaito, to the point where he unconsciously used honorifics when speaking to him.

  "Can you use ginseng on infants?" Red Leaf glanced at him, "Generally, the wandering spirits with incomplete consciousness that drift here will be assimilated by the magnetic field here. Even if there are complete conscious ones, unless they died in this cave, those who come from outside will be naturally rejected by the yin energy here."

  Apart from Szeto, it seemed like no one else understood.

  Chengzhou made a silly face and said "Son, you're so clever, but do we have to spread such unconventional knowledge?"

  Hong Ye didn't say anything, and Sutu took over the conversation, explaining simply: "Yin holes are also divided into different types. Not all ghosts can receive nourishment just because they have arrived at a place where yin energy is gathered. To make an inappropriate analogy, we all know that black soil is fertile, but not every plant is suitable for cultivation in black soil."

  Cheng Zhou nodded in understanding.

  "Although Dan Ge died here, his soul is like being born here, belonging to the earth of this Yin hole. With his strong resentment at the time of death and his desire to see his loved one, he can not only resist the yin energy here but also use it to nourish himself."

  "Why did I suddenly leave here?" the trainmaster asked.

  "One is because you're eager to leave, and the other is... there's someone here who's more powerful than you and doesn't want you to continue growing stronger and threatening him."

  "Where is the more powerful ghost than the train? Are those two little ghosts from just now?" Chengzhou looked around suspiciously, and all the tourists who came out of the first cave were suspected by him.

  Tourists also thought he was suspicious and avoided him one by one.

  Situ Chengzhou was completely unaware that he had already been disliked by the tourists, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, that person over there probably doesn't have any malicious intentions, otherwise he could have swallowed Dango whole instead of letting him leave."

  "Could this True Words Cave verify whether what he said was true or false and would it have anything to do with that person?" Cheng Chou's brain lit up.

  "It doesn't matter, let's go in and ask him then." Hong Ye saw that the first cave on the left was unoccupied, so she immediately pulled Cheng Zhou inside.
