Chapter 9: Chance Encounter 1 (I)
"How do you know?" Wang Xingguo asked curiously.
"What else did you find in there? How did it come out? Xia Ruobing did not answer Wang Xingguo's words, but asked rhetorically, and the question seemed a little aggressive.
These words made Chen Badai a little unhappy, although he drank a few sips of her coffee, this tone seemed to be an interrogation.
"This ...... We came from the side of the monkey jumping off the cliff, and last night we arrived at the Ghost Gate Pass, and the dead man who looked like it was three or four o'clock was gone, so we entered the Ghost Gate Pass and searched all the way......," Wang Xingguo said.
"You're not afraid?" Xia Ruobing was a little confused.
"What is he afraid of? The dead don't know how much he has carried on his back, he was from the special forces back then. Chen Badai interjected, with a hint of show-off in his tone.
"Oh!" Xia Ruobing understood, no wonder they could jump from the monkey cliff to the Ghost Gate, and they dared to stay in the Ghost Gate.
"You're not a travel friend!" Sherpa interjected.
"You're not here to investigate." Wang Xingguo smiled and glanced at Xia Ruobing.
"I want to know what then?" Xia Ruobing didn't want to explain what she was doing here, she was more interested in what was going on in the ghost gate.
"I got lost in it, and the watch stopped and I don't know the time......" Mr. Min interjected, remembered the watch, raised his wrist to see that the watch was moving normally, but the time was wrong.
"There's a magnetic field there, and it doesn't work if the instrument goes in." Xia Ruobing said, it seems that she is quite familiar with Coffin Mountain.
"There is also a thick fog, we can't see it at night, we didn't find the missing body, so we found a place to make a fire and waited until daytime, but it was also a thick fog during the day, I guess it was around noon, we found a meadow area, a lot of shrouds, and it was there that these things were found, 6 tents were very neatly erected, and the equipment was basically there, but there was no one." Mr. Min said, "By the way, there is a couplet carved on the stone wall of the Ghost Gate, and there are some Lu Wen. ”
"Luwen?!" Xia Ruobing's eyes widened!
"Didn't you find a single bone?" Sherpa asked relentlessly.
"No...... There was nothing, shrouds, hemp ropes scattered all over the ground, the camp had been abandoned for decades, it was covered with wild grass, we felt very dizzy inside, so we quickly withdrew, but the direction was wrong...... Wang Xingguo said.
"I saw a lot of phosphorus fires at night, and the ghost eyes that Mr. Min said, and there were figures near the rock wall." Chen Badai said.
"Yin soldier aisle!" Xia Ruobing and Sherpa glanced at each other.
Mr. Min was slightly stunned, how would they know?
"We walked for a long time to find the cliff, and we saw some inscriptions on the cliff, traditional characters." Wang Xingguo said, "In this way, someone went in a long time ago, but they definitely didn't come out." ”
"You're not the first to go in, and you're not the first to go in and out." Xia Ruobing looked at a few people and said very seriously.
"Looks like you're familiar with Coffin Mountain?" If you are an ordinary person, you are just curious about some things, but Xia Ruobing's questioning is definitely not as simple as curiosity.
"Let's just say that......" Xia Ruobing's mood was a little low.
"Can you tell us?" Mr. Min asked softly, if Xia Ruobing was very familiar with Coffin Mountain, it would be of great help to him.
"It's a bit complicated, uh...... The traditional Chinese characters you see are left over from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Sherpa listened to them in silence until she spoke.
"The legend of the dead walking in the coffin mountain has been circulated for more than a thousand years, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a disturbance here against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, a large group of Qing soldiers rushed to suppress it, and chased people into the Ghost Gate Pass, but no one came out, and then it didn't take long for the forest near the Ghost Gate Pass to say that it was haunted, some people said that it was the ghost of those anti-Qing people and Qing soldiers who died unjustly in the Ghost Gate, and since then there has been a legend of the Yin soldiers in the aisle." Sherpa gave a brief introduction.
"What about the Luwen?" Mr. Min asked, it seems that they are indeed quite familiar with the coffin mountain, and it is not much different from the information they investigated.
Xia Ruobing heard Mr. Min mention Lu Wen for the second time, and looked at him strangely for a long time before replying: "Those Lu Wen, if you guess correctly, have a history of 2,000 years. ”
"What about the tents?" Chen Badai asked curiously.
"This ......" Sherpa glanced at Xia Ruobing in embarrassment, Xia Ruobing stood up, walked out of the shed, turned back to Sherpa and said, "Sherpa, let's discuss." ”
"Oh!" Sherpa made an apologetic gesture to them, and when they came out of the shed, Chen Badai glanced at it, Xia Ruobing was standing under a tree more than ten meters away, Sherpa walked over, and the two of them whispered something.
"I'll ...... It can't really be hell, discuss how to eat us, right? Chen Badai muttered.
"What do you think?" Wang Xingguo glanced at him, and pricked up his ears to listen to what Sherpa and Xia Ruobing said, but they didn't hear anything.
"Didn't you see that when you just said that when you entered the ghost gate, Xia Ruobing's expression was weird?" Chen Badai asked.
"So what?"
"I'm telling you, the legendary haunted house is to pretend to be someone who makes you unsuspecting, and then ...... Click......" Chen Badai stretched out his hand and slashed at Wang Xingguo's neck, now that he is out of danger, Chen Badai's thinking is also active.
"If it's a ghost, invite us to coffee......"
"It's hard to say, maybe it's a trick, but this coffee is actually blood...... Well, maybe it's the blood of the dead in those coffin mountains! We must have entered the Coffin Mountain and learned some ulterior secrets, they are the ghosts guarding the secrets of the Coffin Mountain......" Chen Badai said with a spit flying.
"Chen Badai, it's a waste of your imagination not to write a novel! However, this is not impossible. Mr. Min, who had been looking at Xia Ruobing, opened his mouth and said, he thought that Chen Badai was quite funny, after all, science cannot explain many phenomena in today's world.
Xia Ruobing and Sherpa spoke in a very low voice, and several people couldn't hear what they were saying, but then the voices became higher and higher, and several people vaguely heard something: It must be ...... Parents...... Expedition...... Lu Wen...... I must be able to get in or something.
Wang Xingguo looked at it curiously, and he saw that Xia Ruobing seemed to be very excited, and Sherpa was trying her best to comfort her.
After a while, the voices of the two lowered again, Wang Xingguo couldn't hear what they were saying, when Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai finished drinking the coffee, the two came back, Sherpa didn't speak, sat by the fire, refilled the water, Xia Ruobing stood under the light and asked, "Can you go to Coffin Mountain again?" ”
"Miss, what are you kidding! We just crawled out of it......" Chen Badai said exaggeratedly, his chin opened into an O.
"I'll hire you to ......," Xia Ruobing said.
"This ......," Wang Xingguo glanced at Mr. Min in embarrassment.
Mr. Min didn't have anything, and said generously: "I don't have any problems, it's just Miss Xia, why do you insist on going so much?" ”
