Chapter 616: Ghost City Demon Tales (Text)
Zhang Meng and Zhao San were dumbfounded, although Golmud was planned as a special economic zone in 92, but most of the construction is only in the beginning stage, especially some remote areas outside the town, which is a barren land.
It's surprising that gold can run out of this place.
"I said, Second Master, are you guessing, how can these mud-like things be worth anything?"
Zhao San was a little unconvinced.
"It may be worthless to us, but it may be more expensive than gold in some places, for example, in ancient times, people sold salt profiteeringly, and salt was almost as valuable as gold, because it was almost impossible to produce salt in these places. In the same way, for some places where the traffic is very inconvenient and the location is very remote, sometimes a little antibiotic, a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao is almost equivalent to a human life, do you say it is not expensive? ”
Zhang Shaotu smiled and said, there are all kinds of ways to make money in the world, only you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't do.
"But to be able to run such a 'silk road' in this place, I wonder that the ancestors of this little old man are all running businesses in this area."
Zhang Shaotu said again.
Zhang Meng nodded, it is indeed like Zhang Meng who has some places around, they have completely lost their sense of orientation, and they don't know where they are now.
"Do you still need to take a detour? If we continue, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it before dark. The monk said euphemistically.
"That's it, you will know that you are always happy, safety is the first, the last two places will not go, the master will go to the devil's domain now."
The sturdy old man groaned for a moment, and then he said with some pain.
"No! Master, this round-trip profit is less than half! Xiao Er said anxiously.
"You little rabbit cub to remember for me, our family has been running business for generations, although it is working with a head, but since your ancestors, there has never been an accident, and half of the income will be used to do good deeds every year, which can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end, but you must remember the three words 'don't be greedy'! This is our family's ancestral teaching, there is no goods, no money, and no one can have an accident. ”
The junior nodded, but there was a look of disdain on the junior face.
Zhang Meng sighed, just now it was this little three who showed his murderous intentions, and almost let Zhao San do it directly, this kind of mentality will sooner or later make Xiao Lao'er planted on this path.
"Donors have a good attitude......"
The monk who drove the car said a rare word.
"Master monk, don't laugh at me, the little old man knows what kind of place this devil domain is, even if he gives me a bag of gold next, I won't dare to run."
"Can you tell me, old gentleman, to listen to it?"
Zhang Meng frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
"Of course, who in Golmud has not heard of this land forsaken by God? When my grandfather was in his generation, he heard that two or three regiments of Japanese devils were fighting with the Chinese army in that devil's town, and that night, there were heart-rending screams, and when people searched again the next day, they found that all the people seemed to have disappeared into thin air all night, and not even a single corpse could be found, only a few small objects were left. ”
The old man lit a cigarette and said softly.
"This is too evil, could it be a rumor?"
Zhang Meng shuddered, the weather was cold enough, and when he told this old man, he felt even colder.
"Haha, I don't know if it's a rumor, but at that time, many old people knew about it, anyway, I didn't dare to stay in the devil's domain after dark, master, you have to watch the time, if not, delay for a day, we will go early tomorrow morning."
"Now go directly to Devil's City, there is still plenty of time."
The monk shook his head.
"That's good." The little old man was relieved.
"Sir, you must know a lot of villages here, I want to ask you for a place name, can you?"
Zhang Shaotu suddenly asked the old man, he had already confirmed the identity of the old man along the way, and it didn't hurt to ask now.
"Well said."
"An Tan Snow Clan. Peace of mind, pools of waterholes, snow of snow. Zhang Shaotu stared at the old man.
"It's strange, this kind of name is rarely heard in the local name, you let me think about it carefully, why do I think your name is a little familiar, isn't it homophonic?"
The old man said to himself, he dragged his chin and thought about it for a long time, and then said with a wry smile:
"I've never heard of this place name, or maybe I forgot, I debuted at the age of sixteen and started to follow my father, and I've been running for almost forty-five years, and I've heard of so many place names, if it's such a distinctive name, I can usually remember it."
The old man shook his head, indicating that he could not help.
Zhang Meng shook his head, his heart was a little heavy, even this old man who ran a merchant in this area had never heard of this place name, so where could they look for it?
"Is there anyone living in Devil's Town?"
Zhang Meng thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"I don't know this, the devil's domain is full of ravines, and there is very little rainfall in the first year, so it is impossible to live in it under normal circumstances, but people's adaptability is very strong, and it is possible to live there."
The old man's words were the same as if he didn't say anything, Zhang Meng sighed, at this time they can only go to this place to take a look, this method is a bit of a needle in a haystack.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the car drove into the Devil's Domain, and the van blew up countless dust, and Nieman was in the air, and it looked as if it was raining sand.
On both sides, one after another rose earth peaks rose from the ground.
What is even more surprising is that those earth peaks actually have extremely rich appearances, some are like a huge bull's head, some are like a warrior with a sword on his back, and even on a soil peak, Zhang Meng seems to have seen a classical European-style bell tower. What "stone monkey watching the sea", "ox farming", "male teacher lying horizontally", "little monkey swinging tail", "Dapeng spreading wings", there are many statues here that make people feel shocked.
Not only Zhang Meng, but the other two young people were also stunned.
"In fact, the terrain here is very high, because of the perennial weathering slowly lowered, and these statues you see are a type of wind erosion landform formed in a drought and windy environment, and it took thousands of years to form this devil's city......"
The little old man seemed to be in a good mood, and he explained to the two young people with great interest.
Looking at the huge earth peaks in the distance, Zhang Meng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with some difficulty, "Are we going to that place?" ”
"Hahaha, the young man is scared?"
The old man laughed: "I also came here when I was young, and my father told me about this devil's city, but you can watch it from a distance and don't play with it." ”
"From a distance, you will admire its magnificence, majesty, and the magic of nature!"
"But go deep into the Devil's City and you'll feel its extraordinary horror! Imagine how you would feel when you woke up in the middle of the night and found countless pairs of scarlet eyes looking at you. ”
"It's also a good place, and it's a pleasant thing to come here and go back when you're fine."
Zhao San stared at the majestic scene of the sculptures outside, and he couldn't help but say.
"It's good, with the unique appearance of this place, it attracts a lot of tourists, but there are too many evil things happening here. Especially at night, disappearances are particularly common, and the missing person never comes out alive. So when the local car hears that it is coming to Devil's Town, there is a good chance that they will refuse......"
Hearing the old man say this, it seems that he has cast a strange veil on this devil's city.
When the car arrived at the Devil's City, several people got out of the car, and countless shadows around them were reflected, Zhang Meng raised his head and looked at it, he finally understood what the old man had just said. The feeling of staring at these statues condescendingly made his scalp explode, even if it was noon, he felt a chill.
It's as if these statues weren't dead things, but living people, and staring at them would give them goosebumps.
"Let's go together with a few donors, and there will be a person to take care of if there are many people."
The monk bowed to the two of them.
Zhang Shaotu nodded, and the old man hesitated for a moment and agreed, because it was impossible for them to leave only one side of the people here, otherwise they would drive the car away directly, and the rest of the people would not know what to do in this place where birds don't.
And in this place, it is estimated that there will be no second person passing by this car for ten days and half a month, and there is no need to leave people to watch the car at all.
Walking into the group of statues, the feeling is even stronger.
It's like walking on a transparent floor more than 100 meters high, which will make people tremble all the time, but fortunately, Zhang Meng quickly adapted to this feeling, otherwise after this journey, I am afraid that I would be scared to death.
The monk in front walked faster and faster, and then Zhang Meng had to trot a few times to catch up with him.
Om, well, what, horn, mic, ......
One by one, Sanskrit words spat out of the monk's mouth, and his voice was very thick, and it did not dissipate for a long time after it drifted out, but resounded again.
The voice made this place seem more and more gloomy, Zhang Meng tightened the sweater on his body, and then glanced at Zhang Shaotu.
Seeing that the second uncle was still silent, he calmed down a little.
"Actually, there is a magical legend about Devil's Town. Legend has it that this was originally a majestic castle, the men in the castle were handsome and strong, the women in the castle were beautiful and kind, and the people in the castle worked hard and lived a worry-free life with plenty of food and clothing. However, with the accumulation of wealth, evil gradually took possession of people's hearts. The monk said lightly.
(PS: Brothers, don't save this month's smashed tickets, why not rob the tomb!) Lao Jiu thanks you, when the tickets are enough, it will explode. )
