The Worm Valley 云南虫谷 Episode 7

When I came here, I saw many cow skulls in the woods at the entrance of the village, and these represent the totem marks of the ancient Dian Kingdom, because all traditions are in the same line. Because ancient ancestors all worshiped the stars naturally, Hu Bayi believed that the toad organs were related to the oxen in the twenty-eight stars. If the location is identified according to the celestial feng shui technique, the first one needs to trigger the toad in the northeast.

Just as Hu Bayi expected, several stone statues were arranged according to their directions, and as the toad settled down, the gourd outside the temple split in half. Behind his statue, a narrow tunnel finally appeared in front of his eyes. The clansmen were still outside the door. Shimen couldn't stand the violent impact and was about to break open. He didn't think much about touching the iron triangle, and hurried to the tunnel, but when they had just entered, the main hall door slowly closed.

In the blink of an eye, the tribesmen slammed open the stone gate, but there were no traces of Hu Bayi and others in the mountain temple. Instead, they found a secret door behind the statue. As the door was difficult to break, the patriarch Ensai ordered everyone to make explosives on the spot and try to blast the door open. Zewa’s diligence has been seen by everyone, and even Thain was very pleased. He told Zewa to understand the meaning of this visit. The reason why he ventured into the valley was to find the treasure. Establish prestige in the clan.

As the Shirley Yang Chao tunnel was thrown away, a huge burial ditch was revealed, with countless huge bones and ivory all over the cave, and sparkling water waves appeared at the end of the tunnel. The three of them expected this to be the underground water system of the Snake River. The deepening of this river can avoid the mist and miasma and reach the tomb of Xianwang.

So the three of them took a rest at the entrance of the cave. At dusk, they descended into the tunnel and passed through the artificially constructed tunnel and the huge burial pit. When Hu Bayi and the others came to the end of the tunnel, there was nowhere to go. If they wanted to move forward, they had to dive into the water. So they put on waterproof clothes and walked forward.

Fatty Wang heard a strange sound vaguely, but Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi had no feeling other than him. It was this strange atmosphere that evoked Fatty Wang's memories, and he couldn't help but think of the water ghost he had encountered with Hu Bayi. At that time, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were young, and there were a group of courageous friends around them, and they even urged them to go to the reservoir.

Hu Bayi was worried about the danger, but didn't follow along. The other friends jumped down to take a shower one after another. At this time, an old lady came, claiming that her grandson was swimming here every day, and greeted Hu Ba to go. After the old lady finished speaking, she disappeared without a trace in an instant, and then appeared next to the tree again, seemingly weird.

Later, the friends planned to go ashore, but the boy named Ma Guoqing did not want to leave. Until a few days later, Ma Guoqing's corpse was salvaged, with aquatic plants wrapped around his feet, and there was another bone in the aquatic plants, which firmly grasped the boy's ankle. From then on, Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi speculated that the white bone might be the old man they had seen before, incarnate as a water ghost.

Recalling the past, the three of them continued to wade through the water, and then came to a wider cave. They vaguely felt that the shape here was very similar to the gourd seen in the mountain temple. The so-called Gourd Cave, Mian Niu Di, and Tai Chi Yun are all Feng Shui Shenxian acupoints, so the three of them understood clearly and walked to a flat stone platform, and suddenly saw white things appearing on the water in the distance, from far to near. The three of them looked carefully and thought it was a woman's body.
