The next morning, in the scenic area of Xiaoyao Mountain, Kangle City, Nanyun Province.
It was the off-season after the New Year. Students had already started school, so there were not many tourists in the scenic area of Xiaoyao Mountain.
However, it did not mean that there were no tourists at all. At this moment, there was a family of three who came from another place. They were enjoying the scenery of the scenic area under the guide's explanation.
His parents were with a cute little boy who was only six years old.
"It is said that Taoism has 36 Paradises and 72 Blessed Lands. They are all places where immortals live and rest …" The guide explained in a very authentic manner, "People think that Xiaoyao Mountain can reach the Reaching Heaven State and is auspicious and full of blessings. Therefore, it has attracted many Taoist practitioners to come here to cultivate!
"From Taoist Ge Hong, Celestial Master Qi Yuan, to the modern Immortal Hanxu, they have all cultivated here …"
While listening to the introduction, the child's father took photos of his young and beautiful wife.
It was obvious that his wife was the one in the selfie. Her movements were very skillful, and her posture was elegant. The mountain beauty was even more beautiful!
"To tell you the truth, the Taoist temples on the top of the mountain are all modern buildings. They are newly built!" The tour guide walked slowly and continued his introduction. "However, in history, these Taoist cultivators did indeed build many Taoist temples on the mountain. The furthest can be traced back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, because they were completely destroyed later on, there's no way to find them …
"Please look," the guide walked up the stairs and pointed to an octagonal pavilion on the mountain. "This is the Billow Pavilion. It is the best place to see the sea of clouds in Xiaoyao Mountain …"
"Guide, guide …" Unexpectedly, while the guide was still explaining, the little boy pointed to the right side of the stairs and asked, "What is that cave?"
"Hmm …" The guide looked sideways and saw that there was indeed a cave at the end of the deep path. He then said with a smile, "This cave is not simple! Its name is — Bomb Shelter! Hahaha … "
The guide's humorous words immediately made the couple who were taking photos laugh.
"Bomb Shelter?" Unexpectedly, the little boy took it seriously and ran straight to the cave. As he ran, he said, "I want to see what's in the Bomb Shelter …"
"Don't, don't, don't …" The guide hurriedly shouted, "That's not a scenic spot. It's not even a cave. It's a power distribution box …"
"Ah?" The boy's father was stunned. "There's electricity in the switchboard!"
"Aiya, Mang Mang … Mang Mang …" Only then did the boy's mother realize the danger. She quickly chased after the little boy and shouted, "Come back, come back, it's dangerous over there …"
"Little friend …" The tour guide quickly chased after him and soon overtook the boy's mother. He stopped the boy at the entrance of the cave.
"Aiyo, you scared me!" The boy's mother held her child in her arms and pointed at the wire at the entrance of the cave. "Uncle Tour Guide told you that there is electricity here! You can die if you get hit by a wire! "
"Huff huff …" At this time, the boy's father also ran over, panting, and scolded, "Mang Mang, I told you not to run around, don't run around, why didn't you listen?
"This is a mountain, the altitude is very high! Even if there are no wires, it's still very dangerous for you to run around … Hmm … "
While scolding the little boy, the boy's father faced the cave with the switchboard. In a trance, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be something in the cave.
Because of the switchboard, there was originally a metal door at the entrance of the cave, but at that moment, the metal door was staggered open. Through the gap of the door, he could see what was going on inside.
After noticing that there was something strange behind the gap of the door, the boy's father put away his camera and slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave …
"Hey, Mang Mang's father, what are you doing?" The boy's mother was anxious. "There's electricity, there's electricity …"
"Sir, what's wrong?"
The tour guide looked confused, but he followed the boy's father to the entrance of the cave.
"Ah?" Suddenly, the boy's father saw something. He reached out and pushed the cave door open …
Creak …
The old metal door let out a rotting sound. As the light from the outside shone into the cave, the situation inside the cave was suddenly seen clearly by the people outside.
"Ah! Ah … "The boy's mother was so shocked that she stumbled out, but she quickly rushed back and covered the little boy's eyes!
"Ah!!?" The boy's father and the tour guide were also shocked. The tour guide quickly took out his phone and said shakily, "I … I'll call the security of the scenic area!"
"Phew … Phew …"
The boy's father was rather brave. He moved two steps forward and came to the entrance of the cave.
Looking into the cave, he saw two people lying slanted in the cave. One was a man, and the other was a woman!
The reason why he could quickly distinguish their genders was because the two of them were not wearing any clothes. Their bodies looked as if they were covered in some kind of dirty mud, and they were covered in dirt …
The two of them were as thin as a match, and they looked like skeletons. They lay on the ground, not moving at all. They must have been dead for a long time …
A rotten smell seeped out from the cave, causing the boy's father to cover his nose and mouth.
"His … His father …" Then, seeing her husband standing at the entrance and staring at the corpses, the boy's mother quickly shouted, "Quick … Quick, let's go …"
However, the boy's father turned a deaf ear to her, and his eyes were fixed on the two corpses.
After a while, he squatted down and wanted to take a closer look at the woman's corpse that was closest to the cave entrance!
The woman's messy hair was covered in grease and dust. She was lying on her back, and her face was covered in dirt. It was almost impossible to see her face clearly, but from the wrinkles on her skin, he could tell that she was not young!
Then, just as the boy's father was taking a closer look, the woman suddenly opened her eyes!!!
"Oh oh oh … Ah!!?"
The boy's father screamed in shock, as if he had been electrocuted. He fell to the ground, his scalp tingling!
"Oh … Oh … Woo … Huff … Huff …" Suddenly, the woman straightened her neck, raised her head, and panted with all her might, coughing.
However, she did not seem to have the strength to cough anymore. She was panting with all her might, as if she was on the brink of death …
"Ah …"
The boy's mother was scared out of her wits by the horrifying scene. She quickly carried her child and ran out of the cave!
After running for a few meters, she remembered her husband and stopped. She turned around and called out, "His father, his father, what are you doing? Run! Run! "
"Why are you running?!" However, the boy's father had already recovered from his shock. He staggered and climbed up from the ground, then pointed at the woman at the cave entrance and said, "Can't you see? She … She's still alive! She's alive! We have to save her, save her … "
"Huff … Huff …" Although the woman was still alive, her breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Her eyes were drooping, as if she was going to die soon …
The boy's father wanted to go up and help, but he didn't know where to start. After a moment of helplessness, he took out his phone and pressed 120 on the dialing button …
