Chayadong
On the chaya mountain in Zhangqiu, Shandong Province, there is a cave with a large wellhead, which is about several feet deep. On the stone wall to the north of the cave, there is another cave door. Just lie on the ground and cran your neck to see. Several people in the nearby village have long wanted to go to the cave to see what happened. On the ninth day of the Double Ninth Festival in September this year, they made an appointment to drink in the cave to discuss the way to get into the cave. As a result of the discussion, three brave people took the lamp and hung it down with a rope to observe. When they went in, they found that the hole was high and spacious, like a hall. After entering dozens of steps, it gradually narrows. They also found a small hole at the bottom of the cave. When people fall, they can get in like snakes and shine. It's dark and unfathomable.
Two of them got discouraged and chickened out. Another young man grabbed the lamp, sneered, stood up and climbed into the small hole. Fortunately, the narrow place is only a little thicker than the wall, and it is tall and wide as soon as it passes. The young man stood up and walked forward. The stalactites overhead are hanging high and uneven, as if they were about to fall. The grotesque rocks on the two walls suddenly overlap, much like sculptures in temples, showing the shapes of birds, beasts, people and ghosts: birds are flying, beasts are running, people are sitting, people are standing, monsters are angry and fierce, and ugliness is more beautiful than less. The young people became nervous. Fortunately, the road is flat and there are no steep slopes. He walked carefully for hundreds of steps, and a stone house appeared at the west stone wall. On the left side of the door, there is a strange stone that looks like a ghost. It stands in front of people with prominent eyes, a big mouth, a long tongue and fangs. Hold your left hand in a fist, hold it on your waist, and stretch your fingers with your right hand, as if to catch someone. His hair stood on end in surprise. Seeing the burnt firewood ash at the door from a distance, knowing that someone had been here, I was a little emboldened and barely walked into a few steps. I saw the cups and bowls on the ground, full of dirt, but they were all modern things, not ancient vessels. There are four tin pots beside him, and he likes them very much, so he untied his belt and tied his neck around his waist. He looked to the side again and saw a body in the west corner, his hands and feet stretched out around. He was very scared. On closer inspection, the deceased was wearing pointed shoes, and the plum blossom pattern on the sole could be clearly seen. He knew that the deceased was a young woman, but he didn't know where he came from or what year he died. The color of the clothes has darkened. It is not clear whether it is black or red. Hair is unkempt, like a basket of messy silk stuck to the skeleton. He thought there might be jewels on the head of the body, so he put the lamp close to the head. At this moment, he suddenly felt as if someone was blowing a light, and the light was flickering. The flame is red and yellow, and the woman's clothes seem to tilt slightly. He was frightened to disgrace, his hands trembled and the light went out at once. From the complete works of fairy tales
This is terrible, the young man thought. He must hurry back. Recalling the route he came in, he hurried back, afraid to touch the stone wall with his hands, for fear of touching those stones like ghosts. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a stone in the dark and quickly got up and continued to find his way. Cold wet liquid flowed on his cheeks. He knew it was blood, but he felt no pain and dared not moan. Panting, I ran to the hole I just climbed in and was about to bend down to climb out, but it seemed that someone had grabbed my hair and fainted. A friend who didn't go into the hole sat in the hole for a long time and didn't return, suspecting that he had a problem. So, two more people were hanged. They went to the small hole, leaned into the body and found the young man's hair hanging on the stalactite, bleeding profusely and unconscious. The two men were too scared to go in, sitting there worrying and sighing. After a while, two people were hoisted from the well. One of them was bold, bravely got into the small stone cave, dragged the young man out and put him on the mountain. It took him a long time to wake up and tell them in detail what he had just seen. It's a pity that he didn't explore the bottom of the hole. If he enters the bottom, there will be a more wonderful realm.
Later, the Zhangqiu county magistrate heard about this incident and ordered the hole to be blocked with soil, so people could not go in again.
