Chapter 1: No Man's Land (I)
Yunkai doesn't know where to go, but now the coffin mountain, the dead can walk, the soul floats in all directions, hook my life and death book, the descendants are busy paying off the debt, filling up the number of people before, yin and yang do not return to the hometown!
But where there is a special place, there must be a special song, this place is called the Kaiyun Mountains on the map, the locals call it the Coffin Mountain, this mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles is not majestic, but the terrain is complex and extremely difficult to pass, even the local medicine farmers and hunters are afraid to avoid it, and the square coffin-like mountain top and the creepy legend of the dead man walking and the taboo of thousands of years of mountain closure and entry make this place untouched and mysterious.
Mystic has a natural attraction to humans, or for some people, such as Mr. Min, so he is willing to pay a considerable price to hire Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai to this special place.
Wang Xingguo spread out the map and put the compass, Mr. Min came over to take a look, the contour lines were presented on the map in curves one by one, which made him a little dazzled, so that he couldn't tell where he was, and Chen Badai, who was sweating hotly, took advantage of this rare rest time to take out a kettle and drink a few sips of water, and the distance he had just climbed was really thrilling.
Wang Xingguo quickly determined the direction, put away the map, and pointed in a direction: "It's not far away, it's just ahead." ”
"Are you sure?" Mr. Min was a little unconvinced.
"Sure!"
Mr. Min's taste for outdoor sports is very tricky, he is different from ordinary people who go to a place with lakes and mountains to camp and hike, even if he completes an outdoor exercise, he hopes to reach the limit of the place, believes that everyone should experience a feeling of near death, what is closer to death than seeing a dead man walk? He was confident that he would not be disappointed.
At least that's what he said to Chen Badai and Wang Xingguo.
Of course, a person with such a tricky taste, if he is not a crazy extreme sports fan like "Extreme Thief", then he will have a higher pursuit, and Mr. Min is definitely not a crazy sports fan. No one has ever seen the dead people here walk like zombies or zombies in the movie, but the legend must have a certain basis in reality, in the villages and towns they came all the way over, there is not a single grave, and the people near the coffin mountain have followed the ancient precepts for thousands of years, and after the death of the person, they are carried to the place called the Ghost Gate, and then the dead people will walk to the huge coffin by themselves to fill in the dead man's debt left by the ancestors who once made trouble in the Hades Palace.
Wang Xingguo is a demobilized officer of the special forces and has received strict training in wilderness survival, while Chen Badai is one of the top ten famous outdoor sports in City A, and it is their profession to take people on adventures.
But whether it is the special forces or the ten King Kongs, can not surpass the local folk customs, the road that carries the dead up the mountain is called Yin and Yang Road, this road is the only road to the coffin mountain, according to legend, this road communicates Yin and Yang, the living can only pass when carrying the dead up the mountain, and can only stop at the ghost gate, usually close the mountain and close the road, and the living must not be allowed to enter, otherwise the dead will think of the yang world, and run back to the family matter, if this is why the Lord of Yama is angry, it will be terrible.
Legend has the ability to travel through time and space, just because some things can't be explained scientifically so far, in the rumors of the ancestors for many years, everyone has continued to live like this with the ancestral teachings, so Wang Xingguo had to find another way, a road that can reach the Ghost Gate Pass and the Coffin Mountain.
Wang Xingguo took the lead, Mr. Min was in the middle, after Chen Badai broke off, they may be the first people to set foot in this area, there is no road here at all, just now it was a refreshing alpine meadow, turning a corner is a dark jungle, here is still sunny weather, but the next canyon may be dense fog and you can't see your fingers, and the harsh terrain is also testing the ability of everyone who dares to challenge here.
The mountain beam that he had just climbed over made Mr. Min sweat profusely, but after entering a canyon, Mr. Min felt a biting cold.
It is too much to call this canyon a canyon, in fact, it should be a gap in the mountain range, the widest point is about five or six meters, and the narrow place can only be barely crossed sideways, Mr. Min has very reason to suspect that Wang Xingguo is not sure that this canyon can lead to the place to go, he prefers to agree that this is a dead end!
After walking through this gap for two or three hundred meters, Mr. Min has completely lost his sense of direction, and the thick fog deposited in the canyon makes him unable to see the sky at all, this depression makes him feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time he has an expectation for the unknown ahead.
"Do you smell it?" Wang Xingguo asked, the voice bouncing back in the gap, and Chen Badai, who was a little farther behind, felt that the voice was a little distorted.
"Hmm...... The smell of decay. Wang Xingguo's reminder reminded Mr. Min that not long ago there was a rancid smell, and now this unpleasant smell is getting stronger and stronger. The breath of death made Mr. Min very uncomfortable, and he seemed to see the undead whispering in his ear.
"We should be almost to the point where the monkey jumps off a cliff." Wang Xingguo said with confidence.
As soon as Wang Xingguo's voice fell, he heard a sound of "bang" above his head, and Wang Xingguo shouted: "Falling stones!" ”
Mr. Min and Chen Badai instinctively raised their heads, but they couldn't see anything in the dim light, and when they saw a black shadow, the black shadow had already fallen in front of Mr. Min with a "poof", and with a "snap", Mr. Min's face seemed to be splashed with something, and Mr. Min touched it with his hand, and his hands were full of blood! Mr. Min's heartbeat rushed to the peak of 180 in an instant, "No, no, no...... There's no way I'm going to die here. An inner voice cried out in fear.
In the middle of the night, Mr. Min shouted, "There is blood! ”
"Watch out for falling rocks!" Chen Badai in the back saw that the black shadow was very close to Mr. Min, he didn't have time to dodge at all, after the thing fell, he saw that Mr. Min was still standing and was not smashed, his heart just let go, and he looked at him standing stupidly as if the situation was wrong, and when he heard the word "blood", he took three steps and rushed forward in two steps.
If someone gets hurt in the wild, that's a big deal!
But Mr. Min didn't feel any pain at all, and when Wang Xingguo turned around, he found a monkey corpse lying at Mr. Min's feet, which had been broken to pieces, and the blood on Mr. Min's face was splashed by it.
This discovery made everyone's hanging heart go down, Wang Xingguo squatted down and looked at the corpse of the monkey, and felt a little strange, it was like a stone when it fell, and it didn't even make a scream.
There was a hint of weirdness in the canyon, and Wang Xingguo urged the two to speed up their pace.
The Monkey Jumping Cliff is a cliff legend of the locals, and it is said that it is too dangerous for monkeys to climb over, but this is the place where you can reach the Ghost Gate Pass and the Coffin Mountain in addition to the Yin Yang Road.
After turning two corners in the canyon, we found that there were more and more monkey bones, and the white bones of those grinning teeth made Mr. Min feel a little chill in his heart, but the light here was much better than just now, and it was much more spacious than just now, Mr. Min covered his nose and walked past the bones of those monkeys, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly opened up in front of him, and a cliff appeared in front of him.
