The name of the old witch cave also has a origin, the local people have been saying from generation to generation, hundreds of years ago, there was a great wizard in the Bailing old village, when there was a drought in Xiangxi. A thousand-year-old drought-stricken corpse demon came out of the mountain, and later, it was this old witch who joined forces with Lan Zichen, the ancestor of the Hongjuan Sect, to subdue the drought. And the old witch cave is the place where the great Miao old witch sits on his bones.

The three of them followed the reverse of Lan Caidie's fingers, went down the mountain, flowed through a stream, and in front of them was a canyon crack sandwiched between the two mountains, Lan Caidie said, the old witch cave is at the end of this canyon.

The canyon was deep, overgrown with weeds, and the strange birds were quacked and fled in all directions. I don't know how many years no one has been here in this place, and the bamboo around me is crawling with thorns, and if you are not careful, your clothes will be cut off.

"Why is the yin qi in this place so heavy? Isn't that old witch in the legend the ancestor of their Miao people? Supposedly, he must have been given a title like a witch god.,I think there's something wrong? "Chu Tianyue used to travel south and north with her teacher, Professor Monaro, and she had a wide range of knowledge, and she had also heard of the old witch cave of the Miao people. All the legends about the Old Witch Cave are beautiful.

One of the most famous jokes was handed down during the Republic of China. It is said that at that time, Miao Xinjiang was in chaos, and the Long family requisitioned all the men in Xiangxi as a source of soldiers. In the whole of Xiangxi, there are only those old and weak women and children. Miao Jiang is all mountainous, the mountains are full of bamboo and barren forests, usually no one cultivates, the most in the mountains is to produce some tea, most of the temples are to sell Miao tea and wild game in the mountains and forests for a living.

After the men left home, the three mountains of the wide Miao Territory were even more unattended, and many of the old and young women and children in the family starved to death.

Among them, there is a family surnamed Shi, only the old lady is left in the Shi family, the daughter-in-law and the little grandson depend on each other, and the two men in the family all died on the battlefield. There was a famine this year, and the Shi family even ate all the insects in the bamboo forest, and there was nothing to eat when they dug into the ground. Miao Jiang is not like the Central Plains, there are miasma poisons in the mountains and forests, so the ordinary wild vegetables in the forest are not long, in that chaotic year, how can you survive without stealing or robbing? But the three people who left this orphan and widow are good, and it would be good if they didn't rob them.

The three of them were hungry for four days, and the hungry four-year-old grandson was crying. The old lady wondered if she could find something to eat in the temples and Taoist temples outside the mountain.

The Miao people respect their ancestors very much, and if they are Han people, they may steal the grave and offer fruits, or smash and loot and burn them. Miao people are very simple, even if they starve to death, they will never do anything that hurts nature and reason. The old lady carried a broken bag on her back, and she was dressed in rags, and she hobbled out of the mountain.

There was a war going on outside the mountain, and even if the old lady could get out alive, she would probably have to be knocked down by the bullets. That year, it was just in time for the warlords of the Central Plains to fight, and the war also touched the border of Hunan Province. The old lady of the Shi family is already in her seventies, and she has been hungry for several days, so she must not be able to go that far. The old lady walked along the mountain road to the west, thinking about seeing if there was anything to eat in other cottages, walking, walking, until she was exhausted, and she couldn't walk anymore.

Actually, she didn't want to go this way, but she was a little confused when she was hungry, and she was completely conscious of the aisle. At that time, the third sister Lan of Miao Jiang had not come back, and in the hearts of the Miao people in Xiangxi, the most admired was their ancestor Apu Laosi, followed by the ancestors of the sitting bones in the old witch cave. But one thing is that people know how great this old witch was during his lifetime, but no one can call him by name.

If you come, you will be safe, which is also a kind of fate. Mrs. Shi knelt in front of the old witch cave, knocked her head a few times, and said silently that the old witch blessed, bless our family of three to get through the difficulties.

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, I suddenly saw a round rumbling play in the dark old witch cave. The old lady was frightened enough, thinking that she had offended the gods. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to lift her head on the ground. The round thing came to a halt just in front of her head.

She took a closer look, and a watermelon rolled out of the hole. The watermelon is larger than the ordinary watermelon, and the lines on the watermelon skin are also different from the others, not like green lines, and a little dark.

This kind of watermelon was written about in the previous book. Everyone in the world knows that there are watermelons, pumpkins, and winter melons, but no one has heard of the term "pumpkins". In fact, there are pumpkins in the world, but they are extremely difficult to encounter. It generally grows in extremely shady places, and does not like sunlight, and backlit places are usually inaccessible, so it is naturally extremely difficult to find. Pumpkin is also known as corpse head melon, this game should be highly poisonous, and the reason why it is also called corpse head melon is because its shape is very similar to a skull.

She's crazy with hunger, where is the leisure to take a closer look at whether it's in the shape of a skull? I really thought it was the old witch who had appeared, and he kowtowed a few times in the cave in a row, and in the end, his brain was bleeding, so he gave up. The old lady happily hugged the big "watermelon" and ran home. When I got home, I didn't say a word, I broke the pumpkin with a knife and gave it to my grandson and daughter-in-law.

This folk joke is over here, and then it ...... Chu Tianyue only knew that because the famine was particularly serious that year, all the more than 300 old, weak, women and children in the Shi family's village starved to death, and only the three members of the Shi family survived in the entire village. However, after the famine, some people returned to the cottage to take a look, and the corpses in the village were basically gnawed, none of them were complete, and only the three members of the Shi family were missing from all the corpses. Therefore, it was concluded that they were the only survivors.

"Sister Chu, in the middle of the night, don't tell me two black jokes, you mean that there are corpses in the old witch cave? Pumpkin? The three members of the Shi family ate the pumpkin and became the walking dead? "In this paragraph, ordinary people can't hear any clues, but like Ma Chengfeng, who has been on the rivers and lakes all year round, they can understand that it is not a watermelon at all, it is a pumpkin.

"I'm not trying to scare you, although this is a folk tale, but if you think about it, does it also mean that this old witch cave is not as beautiful as the legend says? If it is really a place where living immortals sit on their bones and pass away, then how can such a poison as pumpkin be born? And you see, this canyon is full of thorns, it seems that no one has come to worship for many years, compared with the ancestral hall of Third Sister Lan, it is said that the status of this old witch in the hearts of the Miao people is higher than that of Third Sister Lan? Chu Tianyue was thoughtful and analyzed them for the two of them.
