The body of the female corpse was wrapped in a faint blue light, which was a kind of light without temperature, symbolizing death and coldness.
At a glance, it felt cold to the bones.
I don’t know why this female corpse or female ghost suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water.
I tried my best to slow down my racing heart rate, but the inexplicable panic in my body could not be eliminated.
I thought to myself: "The good ones will not come.
We must strike first."
So I reached out to get the black donkey's hoof, intending to wait for the female corpse to approach from the bottom of the water, and then suddenly stuff the black donkey hoof into her mouth.
Besides, if it’s not a zombie but a ghost, then greet them with glutinous rice dyed with cinnabar.
Shiry Yang and Fatty each took their equipment and quietly watched the female body rising from the bottom of the water.
Unexpectedly, the female corpse, which was lying on its back and slowly floating up from the water diagonally below us, suddenly disappeared into the dark water.
In the blink of an eye, when we looked at the bottom of the water, it was already pitch black.
The dim blue light enveloping the female body also disappeared into the invisible darkness like the light of a flare.
The three of them looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Regardless of whether she was a demon or a ghost, if she were to come over directly, it would be better for the two parties to see each other in a fight to the death than to appear and disappear silently.
The water was unfathomable, and we seemed to be swimming in a dark, bottomless abyss.
The fat man couldn't help but become worried: "Old Hu, do you think that female corpse is the dead body floating in the river that we usually talk about?"
I shook my head and said, "Who knows if it's a dead float or a water ghost, but it's more likely to be a water ghost.
Otherwise, why would the corpse glow with a faint blue light?
But I've never heard of phosphorescent will-o'-the-wisps in the water."
Fatty and I have always been bold and bold, but we are always afraid of the same thing.
Because something happened before that left a deep impression on us.
The age of sixteen or seventeen is an important stage in the formation of a person's worldview and values.
What happens during that period often affects a person's life.
In the past, every summer, children liked to swim in rivers or ponds.
For safety reasons, adults often frightened children, saying that there were water ghosts in the river who would catch swimmers' ankles with their ghost claws.
If you grab it, you will never be able to break free with your own strength, and you will be suffocated to death at the bottom of the water.
But Fatty and I didn't believe this at all when we were young, because we knew in the first grade of elementary school that the things catching people's feet in the water were aquatic plants, not ghost hands.
Later, when we were 16 or 17 years old, we became Red Guards.
Every day, we made troubles and harassed bullfighters, ghosts, and snakes everywhere.
One time, it happened to be the night of Dog Day, and it was so hot that it seemed like a fire.
We were tired from the trouble and happened to pass by an abandoned small water storage pit.
There was a lot of mud at the bottom of the old water storage pit, but the water above had a circulation system and was relatively clean.
However, this reservoir is very deep and it is not easy to touch the bottom.
Some people couldn't stand the heat and wanted to go in for a swim, but others were more hesitant and had reservations about whether to go swimming.
At this moment, an old lady in a white coat came and greeted us: "Come and swim in the water.
This water is a cool world.
There is a cave under the water.
My grandson swims and plays in it every day."
As soon as I heard that someone was playing there every day, there was no danger, so everyone jumped in to swim.
When they came up, the old lady in the white coat had long disappeared.
There was also a child who was with us who said his brother was missing, but we didn’t know who his brother was.
Except for a few people in our group who knew each other, they were all revolutionary comrades who came together spontaneously during the revolutionary struggle, that is, during group fights.
There were quite a lot of people, so we couldn’t tell who was who.
So I asked the kid what his brother looked like and what he was wearing.
But the child was too young and couldn't explain clearly after talking for a long time, so we didn't take it seriously, thinking that there was no such person at all.

It was more likely that the revolutionary will was not strong enough, so he escaped halfway through the swim and went home to eat, so he dispersed. , each went home.
Unexpectedly, two days later, we passed by the small reservoir again and saw many people releasing water there.
It turned out that the child told his parents about his brother’s disappearance after swimming.
The child’s father was in charge of logistics in the military region.
Boss, bring people to find his son.
Fatty and I liked to watch the excitement at that time, and we would go out of our way to watch whenever something happened.
Since we bumped into each other this time, there was no reason not to watch.
As a result, after the water in the reservoir was drained, there was indeed a corpse of a young man about our age, swollen and white from the water.
His body was entangled in large clumps of water plants at the bottom of the water.
At that time, people were very surprised, where did so many water plants come from?
There will be no aquatic plants in the reservoir.
We pulled up all the aquatic plants and cleaned them up.
There was actually a white bone in it.
It was this human bone that had rotted away under the water.
It hooked the ankle of the Red Guard, and he was He was drowned alive under the reservoir.
At that time, no one dared to believe that there were ghosts in the world.
Even if they did, no one dared to say it.
It could only be attributed to coincidence.
This half-year-old child must have accidentally inserted his feet into the water plants while swimming in the water.
He happened to catch up with a person who had drowned a long time ago in the water plants, and they became entangled in the water plants while struggling.
And the old lady in white who lured us into the water was said to be a lurking enemy agent.
This incident was widely circulated in our area and had many versions, but Fatty and I were the few who witnessed it with our own eyes.
The corpse soaked in water and rotting made me so sick that I couldn't eat properly for three months.
This time, I suddenly saw a female corpse floating under the water, and then disappeared like a ghost.
It was naturally terrifying and unspeakable.
Although we know that the female corpse suddenly disappeared underwater, it was just because we were unable to see it.
The strange corpse still exists in the dark and cold deep water, and will reappear sooner or later.
Only the devil knows what will happen by then.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
I had to get through this gloomy and dark water as quickly as possible, so I paddled forward with all my strength.
Following the slowly flowing water veins, passing through a large fossil forest, I finally found a semicircular cave entrance in front.
The diameter was small and could only allow one person to pass through.
There was another cave on the other side.
I said to Fatty and Shirey Yang: "These underground caves are one after another.
I don't know how far they are from the Tomb of King Xian, but since we have already entered, we can simply walk to the end in one go and wait for some rest after we get out." ” Shiry Yang nodded and said: "Judging from the trend of the mountains in the area between the Lancang River and the Nu River, the depth of the Insect Valley should not exceed thirty or forty miles.
I estimate that we have already traveled two-thirds of the way, so it won't be too far
.
"
The mountain wall inside the cave entrance is as smooth as ice.
When you shine a spotlight on it, the stone wall emits a flickering red light.
The entire cave is trumpet-shaped and gets larger as you go inside.
There are also many plant roots hanging from the head and falling in the air. , those ancient forest fossils are denser and have extremely weird shapes.
The mixture of these things makes the terrain in the cave extremely complex.
The fat man and I re-tied the air bag and mountaineering bag a little tighter, and prepared to pass through this area quickly.
The air here seemed to be far less fluid than in the previous cave.

It was humid and muggy.
Mosquitoes began to increase in number, making breathing difficult.
There is actually such a rich plant belt in the underground cave.
The water seeping from the valley is dripping continuously along the vine rhizomes of those plants.
It seems like it is raining in the entire fossil forest.
Due to the arc-shaped structure of the cave, the sound of water dripping sounds very ethereal, rather like the sound of monks knocking wooden fish in the temple, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the originally silent cave.
We had no choice but to endure the dampness in the cave and continued to advance for several hundred meters, and the speed had to slow down.
In the pitch-black cave, the water surface was fragmented by huge fossil trees, forming many whirlpools and turbulences.
We could no longer completely rely on the water flow to determine the direction.
Once we deviated from the direction, we had to use a compass to reposition ourselves.
There were many aquatic plants floating on the water ahead, blocking our progress.
We had no choice but to take out the engineering shovel and keep pushing away these floating aquatic plants.
There were a lot of mosquitoes growing on the duckweed and water plants, and they kept attacking people's faces.
Just when we were getting annoyed, we suddenly heard the buzzing sound of insect wings in front of us.
I subconsciously took out the submachine gun from the waterproof bag.
The fat man fired another flare, and in the light he could see that the front was tightly blocked by hanging plant roots and vines, and there were countless huge black flying insects that looked like small dragonflies, but without eyes, like black clouds passing by.
Usually, the roots of the plant are circling back and forth.
No one has ever seen this kind of insect.
It may only exist in the special humid environment underground.
Insects are the largest group in the world, and about one-third of their species are still unknown to humans.
This kind of black dragonfly-like flying insect does not seem to attack people, but the huge swarm is quite disturbing.
I always felt something was wrong, there seemed to be a restless danger buried in the muggy air, so I asked Shiry Yang what kind of insects those flying insects were.
Shiry Yang said: "I seem to have seen it somewhere.
It is a kind of black midge larvae that is only found in hot wetlands.
But the largest insect is only as big as a fingernail, while these flying insects on the opposite side are as big as "Big Dragonfly" Shiry Yang stopped before he finished speaking, because we saw a fist-sized water spider crawling over.
The ordinary water spiders we have seen are all very small and can walk on the water with their feet without falling into the water.
But why is this one so big?
Seeing such a big water spider, the three of them felt horrified and their skin trembled.
Before they could think about it, two more fist-sized water spiders swam past and climbed up a nearby tree.
On the ancient tree fossils on the water.
The fat man said in surprise: "Why are the bugs here getting bigger and bigger?
There are no such big water spiders outside."
I suddenly thought of something and said to Shiry Yang and Fatty: "Have you noticed that the stone walls of this cave are extremely smooth, have a large curvature, and are red, quite similar to what we saw in the mountain temple?"
That gourd, did we fall into the gourd?"
Shiry Yang looked around, looked at the nearby plants and insects, and said to Fatty and me: "There is a question that must be clarified.
Are the bugs and fossil trees in this cave getting bigger, or are the three of us getting bigger and bigger?"
Small":
