Chapter 17: Good Weather (Part II)
The torrential rain outside the cave baptized the earth, and from time to time there was a burst of thunder, which exploded on the top of the ghost gate, and everyone sorted out the place to sleep tonight, as the night and the rainstorm came, the temperature began to decrease, Sherpa took out the gas stove, ready to make some hot food for everyone, Wang Xingguo put on a raincoat and beckoned Chen Badai to go out, Chen Badai reluctantly put on a raincoat, and Wang Xingguo got into the rainstorm, Mr. Min carefully sorted out the equipment on his body, and the badge on his collar shone in the light of the flashlight.
"A beautiful badge." Xia Ruobing said.
Usually in the wild, anything unnecessary will not be carried, such a valuable thing is pinned to the collar, Mr. Min is not afraid of losing it? Mr. Min's actions just now show that he attaches great importance to this valuable badge.
"Thank you!" Mr. Min smiled politely at Xia Ruobing.
"Persephone, goddess of spring, Mr. Min, why do you wear it all the time?" Xia Ruobing asked.
"Hmm...... She is my goddess of luck. Mr. Min thought for a moment and said.
It seems that Mr. Min didn't want to say anything, and Xia Ruobing had no choice but to stop delving.
Chen Badai dragged a branch, muttering and complaining that he had done all the dirty work by himself, and suddenly a lightning bolt tore open the night sky, and the thunder sounded in his ears, and it suddenly turned into daylight in front of his eyes, and when Chen Badai raised his eyes, the branch in his hand fell to the ground.
"Wang Xingguo, look!" Chen Badai exclaimed.
Wang Xingguo, who was holding firewood behind him, raised his eyes and saw that there were many figures at the side of the ghost gate, and he vaguely saw them holding weapons in their hands.
"Click! Rumble! Another bolt of lightning struck down and hit the top of the stone wall of the Ghost Gate, and now I saw it more clearly, it was indeed a group of figures holding weapons, and after the thunder, I heard the noise of human voices.
Mr. Min, who was in the cave, seemed to hear someone crying after the thunder, and in the depths of the cave, he picked up a flashlight and shone it into the depths, but saw nothing.
"Huh? Someone crying? Xia Ruobing also heard it, although the voice was subtle, but the sound was in his ears, and the Sherpa also turned off the gas stove, and couldn't help but reach for the mountain knife on the side.
Before they could figure out what was going on, Chen Badai ran into the cave out of breath: "Quick! Fast! Yin soldier aisle! The Yin Soldier is in the aisle! ”
Stunned for a moment, Mr. Min jumped up, didn't care about wearing a raincoat, and got into the rain, Sherpa grabbed the mountain knife and hurriedly followed, Xia Ruobing saw this, and picked up a combined sapper shovel.
"It's out of sight now." Everyone ran to Wang Xingguo's side and looked in the direction he was looking, but there was nothing in the darkness of the rain.
"Let's take a look?" Perhaps because of the large number of people, Mr. Min has also become bolder.
No one refused the proposal, and the group climbed up the ghost gate again, but it was empty, there was nothing, the flashlight entered the passage, and the corpse was still there motionless.
"You really read that right?!" Xia Ruobing was a little suspicious, the Yin Soldier Corridor was a legend that had been circulating in this area for a long time, although many people said that they had seen it with their own eyes, but they had never come up with any evidence.
Mr. Min turned on the camera and tried to capture any of the weird images.
"Boom!" A thunderbolt came unexpectedly, and the lightning hit the edge of the ghost gate, and it was indeed unsafe in a high place on a thunderstorm, Mr. Min subconsciously shrank his head, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he was stunned!
A figure trotted towards him, a knife in his hand! Mr. Min let out an "oops" and sat down on the ground, raising the camera to the figure in a hurry.
Hearing Mr. Min's exclamation, everyone turned around and saw that many wandering figures suddenly appeared out of thin air near the Ghost Gate Pass, and they hurriedly ran past several people and disappeared into the aisle of the Ghost Gate Pass.
Mr. Min was about to step on him when he saw the figure, but it was not a real person, it was more like a distorted image, Mr. Min clearly saw that his face looked hideous because of the drift, but he didn't seem to see Mr. Min at all, and floated past him.
After the lightning, the light quickly dimmed, and those fleeting figures began to blur more and more, shouts, cries, and other distorted sounds could be clearly heard in the rainstorm, Xia Ruobing watched in amazement as the figures hurriedly ran past her, and then came back to her senses: "Sherpa! Snapshots! ”
In the chaos, Sherpa forgot to bring a camera, he hurriedly ran back to the cave, just got into it and a miserable white face appeared in front of him, Sherpa was startled, instinctively stabbed the knife in his hand, but at this moment, the face was gone, Sherpa looked around nervously, the cave was empty, but the cry in his ears became clearer and clearer, Sherpa grabbed the camera, thought about it and turned around and ran out.
By the time Sherpa ran to the Ghost Gate, those Yin soldiers had long since disappeared, which made him a little annoyed.
"The legend of the Yin Soldier Aisle is true!" Xia Ruobing's face turned pale, and she didn't know if she was frightened.
Mr. Min also felt that his heart stopped beating at a certain moment, he finally recovered from the shock, the person was still sitting on the wet stone platform, Wang Xingguo was very calm, even if the Yin soldiers were real, but these Yin soldiers had no malicious intent.
Human beings' fear of death has made human beings create a lot of legends about death, most peoples from ancient times to the present believe that people will go to another world after death, that world is the same as the world, there is a complete social structure, that there will inevitably be a variety of different occupations, Yin soldiers can understand that the achievement is a soldier in another world, they are responsible for the security and security of another world, people in the world are invisible to them, according to ancient legends, the world is divided into two worlds, yin and yang, usually do not interfere with each other, but in some accidental times, Yin and Yang intersect, people will see some scenes in the netherworld, that is, the so-called Yin soldier aisle, according to scientific explanation, perhaps another parallel world and the current world intersect, resulting in the overlap of some images.
But just now they did see those wandering figures running by, and everyone was 100% sure that it was not an illusion! Chen Badai's eyes widened, the survival knife on his waist didn't know when it was tightly clenched in his hand, he had also seen a figure on the side of the stone wall of the coffin mountain, but there were not so many, and it was not so clear, regardless of whether these Yin soldiers had malicious intent or not, but their appearance was scary enough.
"Crackle!" Another lightning bolt struck, and Chen Badai saw a group of figures appear on the steps, as if they were still carrying something.
Sherpa quickly raised the camera, but the light was too dim and underexposed, when another lightning bolt struck down, and while the light of the lightning was bright, Sherpa pressed the shutter.
The group hesitated on the steps, but everyone could clearly see that they were carrying a corpse, and they couldn't help but immediately think of the legend of the Yin soldiers who came to the world to ask for souls.
The heavy rain continued to fall cracklingly, the team of Yin soldiers never walked up the steps, they disappeared into the darkness after a while, and after waiting for a while, the Yin soldiers never appeared again, and it was never a safe place in the high places, Wang Xingguo asked everyone to go back to the cave first to avoid the torrential rain and lightning.
Mr. Min returned to the cave and couldn't wait to play back the video just now, but there were only bursts of snowflakes on the screen, and nothing was recorded just now!
"Impossible! No way! Mr. Min checked the previous videos again and found that they had all inexplicably turned into piles of snowflakes.
"I obviously saw the Yin Soldiers!" Mr. Min was a little annoyed and slapped the camera.
"We've seen it too, can't everyone be dazzled, right?" Sherpa also said.
When everyone was talking, there was a sudden sound of "hehehe......" crying and laughing in the depths of the cave, and Chen Badai shone the flashlight into the depths of the cave, but only saw the rusty stone wall.
Soon the voice was low, mixed with some other strange sounds, which made people uneasy, Wang Xingguo carefully checked every corner of the cave two or three times, but still couldn't find the direction of the occurrence, and after a while, the sound disappeared.
"Eat something and sleep." Wang Xingguo sat down, unscrewed the gas stove and boiled the water again.
"This ...... Sleep?! Over here?! Chen Badai felt that it might be better to go out in the rain.
"Sherpa, Chen Badai, go get the firewood back, it will be warmer if you light a fire." Wang Xingguo didn't seem to hear Chen Badai's protest, so he picked open a bag of milk tea with a knife and poured the milk tea into the pot.
"Hey! To hell we just saw! Chen Badai raised his voice.
"Yin and Yang don't offend each other, if you want to kill us, you will be killed just now." Wang Xingguo was very calm. Everyone thought about it, Wang Xingguo said very reasonably, and everyone's nervousness was relieved a lot.
The two dragged the firewood back to the cave, Chen Badai lit the fire very vigorously, illuminated every corner of the cave, with the temperature of the fire, the temperature in the cave began to rise, everyone warmed up, and the strange sounds in the cave from time to time seemed to be less frightening.
Mr. Min wanted to see what time it was, but the second hand of the watch seemed to be involved in something, and he had a very difficult time.
"There seems to be electromagnetic interference here." Mr. Min said, shaking his watch at everyone.
"Sleep......" Wang Xingguo lay down on the ground, at this time there was nothing to do anyway, it was windy and rainy outside, and it was a luxury to want to see a star, so it was better to rest and conserve his strength.
Xia Ruobing leaned against the edge of the cave, looking at the heavy rain outside, she didn't know what time it was now, which made her a little irritable, but she didn't expect to finally get to the ghost gate, but she encountered this weather.
Seeing that Wang Xingguo seemed to have nothing to do with herself, she was a little annoyed: "Your heart is so big? ”
"I can't figure out what I can't understand now, and when I come back alive from the coffin mountain, I will have a lot of time to think about it." Wang Xingguo put his hat on his face, not affected by those strange sounds at all.
Mr. Min saw Xia Ruobing's irritability, and comforted: "As the saying goes, a noble person goes out and suffers from wind and rain...... but Xia Ruobing didn't say anything, Mr. Min thought that it was indeed a little inappropriate to say this at this time, so he had to stop talking awkwardly.
"Don't worry, there must be a clear sky after the strong convective weather, didn't Wu Lao say it, he didn't get dizzy, because the weather that day was very, very good, which is a good thing." Wang Xingguo under the hat said quietly.
Seeing Wang Xingguo so calm, Chen Badai's eyes also widened, and he rolled up his bed and lay down: "Sleep...... I'll have to chase the dead tomorrow. ”
"Poor eight generations, what else do you do besides being able to eat and sleep?" Xia Ruobing said sarcastically.
"Hmm...... There will be a lot of things, such as beating beans! Chen Badai replied with a hippie smile, seeing that everyone didn't answer, the joke was a bit of a failure, and muttered, "Don't you all ask who Doudou is?" ”
This joke is a little cold, and the cold field is the best effect, Wang Xingguo said to Xia Ruobing: "Don't look at it, the rain will naturally stop when it should stop." ”
Xia Ruobing had no choice but to lie down, listening to the thunder and rain outside, and the strange sounds in the cave from time to time, tossing and turning, and finally fell asleep.
I don't know when the wind and rain stopped, when Xia Ruobing woke up, Chen Badai, Mr. Min and Sherpa didn't wake up, only Wang Xingguo was gone, Xia Ruobing walked out of the cave and saw Wang Xingguo standing on the hillside, running over here and running over there, at this time the sun had just risen from the east, and the grass under his feet was still wet, but Wang Xingguo was not wrong, the weather today was very good, the sky was already very blue before the sun rose, Xia Ruobing walked over and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'm calibrating the time with the sun, but it's so interesting, the watch is normal here......" said and walked back ten meters, "here, the watch is disturbed." ”
"Calibrate time with the sun?" Xia Ruobing heard about it for the first time.
"The time when the sun rises every day can be calculated, well, although it's not very accurate, but it can be accurate to within ten minutes, oh yes, I went to the ghost gate just now to take a look, and the body is gone......"
"What?! Gone again?! Xia Ruobing's eyes widened, this night of wind and rain, the corpse can still be seen?
"yes...... So I think something took him away, or carried him away......" Wang Xingguo still lowered his head and fiddled with his watch, as if the disappearance of the body was not a big deal.
"Then why didn't you wake us up sooner...... Hurry up and chase it. Xia Ruobing was anxious, I really didn't know if Wang Xingguo was really calm or pretended not to care. Then run back to the cave and wake up Sherpa and the others.
