Chapter 45: Borrowing the Door to Settle Down (Part II)

Chang Ye and the three of them, after listening to the introduction of the leaders of the headquarters, already knew roughly the reason for letting them come. The excavation of this subway www.biquge.info is dug directly down from the ground, and when a section is dug up, the four walls and the roof are poured with concrete, and the concrete is thick enough to resist the attack of the atomic bomb. In order to repair the subway, half of the city walls and two gates of the old city of Beijing were demolished. It can be said that it was the largest project in old Beijing at that time, and the subway went all the way to the west, repaired to the foot of Yanshan, many parts were taken over by the garrison, and according to legend, the subway we usually take is only one-third of this project, in a sense, the combat readiness function is far greater than the civilian function, if there is any mistake in this project, it is undoubtedly impossible for everyone sitting here to bear. And at the moment, the people in the command regarded the Chang family as a lifesaver.

Chang Ye's father brought the three of them together, and before discussing, he had obviously made a general judgment in his heart, that is, the excavation of the subway line was related to the Haiyan Well, and the source of a series of visions may be the legendary Xuanmen. For the sake of insurance, my father still insisted that Chang Ye go home to get the survey spectrum of Haiyan Well, as well as compass, scoring ruler and other tools, and prepare to enter the tunnel overnight to explore.

Chang Ye hurried home, took the atlas tools, and when he went out again, it was already past the time, looking at the sky, an ominous premonition arose, the location of the sea eye well father and the third uncle had long been familiar with the chest, and the compass and the like were now like a pretext, a pretext to separate themselves. Chang Ye hurried back to the headquarters, his hunch came true, his father, third uncle and a few soldiers entered the tunnel after he left, and the leaders of the headquarters resolutely did not let him enter again.

Another two hours passed, no one returned, no one emerged from the other side of the tunnel, and the atmosphere in the command headquarters slowly became agitated. Chang Ye once again proposed to the leader to enter the tunnel, but this time, the leader became very hesitant. Chang Ye took out the ancient spectrum map of Haiyan Well and explained it to the leader while marking it. The leader finally made up his mind, "Xiao Chang, your father has repeatedly told me not to let you in, but the situation is urgent and the task is important, I asked Platoon Commander Zhang to bring four people with you, and you must pay attention to safety." “

Chang Ye and the six of them brought six large concentrating torches, and set off with tools and ropes on their backs. Soon after entering the tunnel, Chang Ye found a mark marked with chalk on the wall, the pattern was the location of the sea eye well, Chang Ye used a compass to determine the location, and found that there was some deviation from the ancient spectrum, and he walked about two or three stations with the mark, and the mark disappeared. Chang Ye turned back again, found the position of the last mark, which was very far from what was marked by the ancient spectrum, and hurriedly took out the compass, and found that the compass had begun to rotate wildly, Chang Ye knew that the Xuanmen was not far from here. Sticking to the tunnel and inspecting it one foot at a foot, to Chang Ye's surprise, there was no abnormality in the wall of the cave where the concrete was poured. Platoon Commander Zhang came over and told Chang Ye that he had seen the tunnel drawings, and if he walked a little further, there was a drainage hole, and there should be an electromechanical well in it. When looking at the drawings, Platoon Commander Zhang was also strange, generally the letter hole is excavated parallel to the main tunnel, and there are few excavated in the vertical direction, and the electromechanical shaft is placed so far away from the tunnel, it is also strange, so I paid attention. Chang Ye also felt that eighty percent of the people in front of him had entered the Handong, and several people ran forward.

As Platoon Commander Zhang said, before he walked out of half a mile, a deep letter hole appeared in front of everyone. There was originally a metal door in Handong, but now it is open, and everyone estimates that Chang Ye's father must have entered from here. What surprised Chang Ye was that the iron door was rusty, not at all like a newly repaired one, and the cables connected to it were seriously worn in many places, revealing the copper wires inside. Could it be that the original cave was used to make an electromechanical well? Chang Ye and his son originally had some speculation about the Xuanmen, and it was recorded in the ancient pedigree that the Xuanmen was opened, and a hundred different births were born. The door is closed, and a hundred ghosts are crying. It seems to say that the Xuanmen is the trigger point of the ghost event, but after all, everyone has never experienced it, and they don't know what will happen to people when they enter the Xuanmen. Rao is Chang Ye is well-informed, and his heart can't help but tremble. Just as he was about to enter, Platoon Commander Zhang grabbed him and pointed to his watch, looking frightened. Chang Ye looked at it, the second hand went upside down, and then looked at his watch, which was also retrograde. Although they were all materialist revolutionary fighters, they were hesitant to make a decision when they encountered something contrary to common sense. Chang Ye relented, persuaded Platoon Commander Zhang, and two brave soldiers, entered the metal gate, and left a few to go back to report the news.

Chang Ye walked along the Handong to the inside, and it didn't take long to see the electromechanical well, and there were some ropes and equipment scattered next to several rows of iron cabinet rooms, so everyone can be sure that Chang Ye's father and his party continued to move forward from here. Further on, at the end of the Han Cave, a concrete wall sealed the bottom of the cave. But there was a huge crack in the concrete wall, two feet wide and more than six feet high, and there were traces of shoveling on it. And the wind that came out of the cracks was not cold enough to be described, and it made a sharp chirp, as if it could swallow people at any moment. Chang Ye left a few of Platoon Leader Zhang outside the crack and prepared to go in by himself, but Platoon Leader Zhang gritted his teeth, stayed two people outside, and followed by himself.

Squeezed into the crack, a few steps forward, and entered a hole more than one person high, made of bluestone on all sides, like a tomb, of course Chang Ye knew that this was the passage connecting the sea eye wells, but a strange feeling shrouded Chang Ye. That is, the whole body seems to have fallen into a viscous liquid, and the movements are slowing down, and even the flow of blood, the speed of the heartbeat, and the flexibility of thinking are slowing down. And, the further you go inside, the stronger this feeling becomes. Chang Ye looked back at Platoon Commander Zhang who was following behind, he was the same, his movements were like slow motion, as if he was struggling in the kneeless snow, where was the agility of a soldier? Maybe this is going to Xuanmen, right?

It was an incomparably long journey, perhaps only a few hundred meters away, but it seemed to drain a lifetime of energy. The strong light in Chang Ye's hand flashed weakly a few times, extinguished, this is a low-consumption flashlight that can support the use of a whole day, and the new battery before going down the hole, where did all the electricity go? When Chang Ye changed the spare battery, Zhang Platoon Commander followed, stabbed Chang Ye, it seemed that it was difficult to even speak, pointed to his mouth, and shook it to the wall of the passage with a flashlight, Chang Ye found that dozens of meters away, there was a figure lying on the wall.

Tens of meters away, I don't know how long it took, this is a completely silent environment, just like being in a closed glass bottle, you can really see the scenery or pedestrians outside, but it is just a silent movie, you can only watch, not participate. The only sounds you can hear are your own slowing heartbeat and the sound of blood flowing that seems to be stalling. When Chang Ye came to the figure, he was almost prostration, and when he saw the man's face clearly, Chang Ye finally collapsed. It was Chang Ye's father, who was only fifty-six years old at the time, with white hair, deep wrinkles, and dark brown old age spots on his face, as if he were thirty years old, his eyes staring at the darkness at the end of the tunnel, but his hands were hanging weakly to the side. The strangest thing was that the blue cloth uniform that my father wore had become wisps of it, and it was rotten in many places, and it was worn to a miserable white, as if it had been soaked in this damp world for a long time.

Chang Ye was surprised that he didn't shed tears, but took a breath, three times and two times, picked up his father, turned around and walked back. Father was on Chang Ye's back, his breathing gradually turned back, and his heartbeat seemed to be stronger. Faintly, Chang Ye heard his father's extremely slight voice, not as if it came from his throat, but from the distant and empty depths of darkness. "Mysterious and mysterious, the Tao destroys life and death, floating and illusory, and a leaf on the side. There is no solution to the Xuanmen, the luck rotates, the child is sand, and the second time is the sea. I could hear that my father was talking about the annotations on the ancient score, as if it was different from the ancient score, and it was changed by my father, but at this time, Chang Ye really couldn't think about it. The platoon commander Zhang in the back also caught up with difficulty, hugged Chang Ye, and walked out together.
