After two days of preparation, Zhang Mo bought Wu Fei some equipment commonly used outdoors, such as spotlights for lighting, shoes for climbing, and tents for the field. Each of them carried an oversized backpack and also pulled a large suitcase.

Yang Yanyu drove them to the train station. They first sat in Changsha, and then took a green car to Zhangjiajie. After that, I rented a hard-core off-road vehicle and drove to Yuanling. On the way, Zhang Mo told Wu Fei some information about his investigation in recent years. Since there were no previous hints, his investigation was very blind and he didn't know where to start. So it's just a matter of finding some so-called folk masters, like so-called masters in Buddhism and Taoism, and asking some mysterious societies for advice on ghosts and gods and things like the Great Dao of the Universe.

In the past few years, he has gained very little, in fact, he has felt very tired before Wu Fei came, and he doesn't want to investigate any more. However, this time Wu Fei's induction rekindled his hope again, especially the poems in the dream, which gave him a goal. In fact, he had already been to Yuanling two years ago, and he had also been to the stronghold of the national army mentioned in the story, but he had gained very little. I just found that there is a hot spring there, but it does not bubble out of the water, but only gas, and the temperature of the gas changes very regularly. Later, he discovered a similar situation in a wild wetland on Chongming Island in Shanghai. Therefore, it is to compare whether their temperature change laws are consistent, so as to judge whether some time-space phenomena will also occur here.

As they spoke, they had entered the Yuanling Territory, where the terrain was undulating and the mountains were steep. They drove to a small town called Wenxu, and seeing that the sky was a little bleak, they found a hotel to stay in and planned to leave tomorrow. Zhang Mo said: "Most of the people here are Tujia, the people are simple, and you should pay attention to your words when you speak. Wu Fei immediately said: "Okay, you can rest assured of this, we are all highly educated people, and the quality is here." Zhang Mo pursed his lips and did not speak. The two of them put down their salutes and went downstairs to eat. As soon as the restaurant owner brought the food to the table, he saw a strong wind outside the door, lightning and thunder. Pedestrians on the road also quickened their pace.

"What the hell is this weather, it was fine just now, why is it winding when you talk about the wind?" Wu Fei complained.

"It's called the seven-point dragon wind, and it has something to do with the mountainous terrain of this place. The place is located between two canyons, and it sits on the mountainside. There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and during the day the stones are easily heated by the sun, and the hot air rises, and in the evening the cold air returns through the two canyons, which are like the center of a whirlwind. ”

"Yes, you, desert!"

"Hehe, these are all things I've heard from others in the past two years, but they have nothing to do with the investigation of Lu Yingfei." Zhang Mo said with a wry smile.

After eating, the two of them went upstairs and entered the hotel.

"Hey, desert, what do you think we're going to do next?"

"I think we'd better ponder those lines of poetry."

The two men memorized the poem twice.

"Hey, what's this town called?" Zhang Mo asked suddenly.

"Ask nothing!"

"There is a fiction in the poem, will it refer to this fiction?"

"Well, that makes sense, desert. Is this providence? Let's get straight to the place. ”

After the two of them were excited for a while, they opened the topographic map to study the mountain lineage of this Wenxu Town.

"Hey, I said desert, we're not going to rob tombs, how do we feel a bit like tomb robbers."

"You don't understand this, I have studied a lot of mountain-shaped leylines and feng shui celestial phenomena in the past few years, and many strange phenomena have appeared in mountains with excellent feng shui. Due to the fact that it is inaccessible and ecologically intact. The absorbed essence of the sun and moon is not destroyed, so it is easy to have strange celestial phenomena. ”

"Okay, you are now a half-immortal, and I may have to change my name to you Zhang Tianshi in the future." Wu Fei said.

"Even if you are a heavenly master, you can still be a teacher."

The next day, the two of them got up early and told the hotel owner that they would stay a few more days and go hiking. The boss didn't say anything, just smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Hey, boss, what do you mean by shaking your head?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just think it's strange, what is there to play in this barren mountain, I want to play to Zhangjiajie, it's less than 50 kilometers away from here."

"Oh, there's so many people in there, it's not interesting. You don't understand. We are looking at the landscape, not the human head. ”

"Then I wish you all a good time, and you will be down the mountain by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, or you will not be joking with the wind."

"Okay, thank you boss for the reminder."

The two of them walked all the way down the path to the mountain, at first the path was still clearly visible, and if they went up there was nothing, and it seemed that no one had gone any further. This mountain is called Wenxu Mountain, which is the location of the dragon tail of Longshan in Xiangxi. It is this dragon's tail that divides this Grand Canyon in two. The higher they climbed, the cooler the air felt, and the higher they climbed, the less vegetation there became. After about an hour, the two of them sat on a large rock resting breathlessly. Zhang Mo looked at his watch, it was now more than 7 o'clock, and the sun was slowly showing its head and climbing up, and it was a lot warmer when the sun shone on it. They looked up, and the mountain was so tall that from a distance it looked like two leaves falling on the mountainside.

"With such a big mountain, I don't know where the secret we are looking for will be."

"Fiction and reality, hey, Wu is right and wrong, think about what kind of desert you see in your dreams?"

"Oh, I'll think again." Wu Fei closed his eyes and patted his head to meditate.

"A desolation, full of stones, large and small, as far as the eye can see. Later, when I turned around, I saw a super large stone, like a large man-made stone monument. These words are written on it. There's no direction in there, and there's no one to see. ”

"Is that what we are now?" Zhang Mo asked very seriously.

"Damn, don't scare me, desert." Wu Fei hurriedly leaned closer to Zhang Mo, then turned around and looked around.

"Don't say it, it seems to be a bit similar, is this..."Wu Fei shuddered.

"Let's climb and see!" Zhang Mo said.

The two men continued to climb again. was crawling, and Wu Fei suddenly saw a flash of purple light in the corner of his eye. He hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw a huge stone, 10 meters wide and 20 meters long, diagonally inserted into the mountainside on the right side, inserting a huge hole in the mountainside. Wu Fei opened his mouth wide and hurriedly asked Zhang Mo to take a look. The two men slowly crawled over to a flat ground under the boulder. They looked at the boulder, and Zhang Mo asked, "Is the boulder in your dream like this?" ”

"I can't remember exactly what it is, but it's pretty big anyway. I'll see if there's a word on it. ”

The two men raised their heads and looked left and right, up and down. Nothing was found.

"I said desert, why is this stone slanted in the upper part like this, is it falling from the sky, could it be a meteorite?"

"I don't know, if it's a meteorite, there may be radiation."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wu Fei immediately retract his outstretched hand. Zhang Mo looked at him and continued: "Thousands of years have passed, there should have been no radiation for a long time, you see that the people under this mountain are not all alive and well." ”

"Oh, do you want to go into this cave?"

"Of course we want to go in, what are we doing here?" Zhang Mo asked rhetorically.

The two of them made a little trimming and went into the cave. The cave was huge, and it looked like a boulder had fallen from the sky and plunged into the mountain, creating a huge hole where the rocks were connected. The boulder extended into the cave and continued down, like a knife stuck in the mountain.

The two of them walked forward cautiously step by step, and after walking about 30 meters, they could no longer see any light. They turned on the COAST spotlight on their heads, which claimed to be the special headlight of the U.S. Marine Corps, which could illuminate more than 200 meters in a straight line. They felt that the road in the cave was high and low, but overall it seemed to be descending. And the further you go in, the narrower the passage becomes. Wu Fei walked forward tightly to Zhang Mo, and dragged Zhang Mo's clothes from time to time. In this kind of place, Wu Fei's courage and experience may really be far from Zhang Mo, Zhang Mo has been exploring everywhere in the past few years, and his courage is not ordinary, and he can be calm and calm in case of trouble. Therefore, Wu Fei is also trying to be nervous, although he is known as Wu Tiangang.

Further inside, they heard the sound of "tick-tick" water droplets, and Zhang Mo guessed that it might be water seeping in from the mountain. As they spoke, they saw an open space in front of them, and the figure of the boulder could still be seen here. The two men stood back to back, looking around at the large cavern. The dome of this cave resembles a Byzantine church of the Eastern Roman Empire in the 15th century. The two of them slowly looked around the cave wall. I saw that the wall of the cave was smooth, and there was almost no protrusion of more than 1 cm, which looked a bit like artificial excavation, otherwise it would not be so smooth. They looked at the wide flat land on the ground, it was also very smooth, although it had not been polished, it was really very smooth, and there were no mosses or other creatures in this cave. But there is no road to this cave any further, it seems to have reached the end. Just as the two were looking around for the opposite exit, Wu Fei said: "Desert, look at the top of your head." Zhang Mo looked up and found that the roof of the cave was also very round, but suddenly heard a "fluttering" sound, and saw a super-large bat swooping down at the spotlight, and the two people screamed and quickly dodged.

"Desert, there are vampires here, let's get out of here."

"Don't panic, it's just a bat."

"The bat is true, but when it becomes a sperm, how can it be so big?"

"I'll deal with him."

I saw Zhang Mo quickly take out something similar to a flashlight from his backpack, press the button on the bat, and then the bat was like a runaway plane, flickering east and west, up and down, and finally hit the wall head. Then it fell to the ground.

"What are you? So powerful! ”

"This is called bioelectromagnetic***. Specialized in dealing with caves, some creatures in the deep sea that rely on electromagnetic waves to determine direction. Most of these creatures have lost their hearing or vision, and some have even lost their nervous systems. ”

"Oh, don't talk about the desert, look at the top of the cave." Wu Fei shouted.

Zhang Mo looked up and saw countless oversized bats on the top of the cave crawling out of the cracks in the wall. It looked like there were at least a few hundred, and the two men looked at each other and shouted together, "Run!" ”

The two of them ran towards the entrance of the cave, and the black bat hovered down from the top of the cave and flew towards the entrance of the cave because of the disturbance. In a panic, the two of them saw a gap behind the boulder, and without thinking, they got into it. The two of them looked out through the gap, only to see a large number of bats skimming the entrance of the cave, and they were afraid for a while, and if they were half a beat slower, they might be sucked into dry corpses by these vampires who had become spirits. When the two of them were rejoicing, suddenly Wu Fei felt a chill behind him. He turned his head to see that he was leaning against an icicle. When I looked inside, I found that this was also a passage, but there were a lot of icicles hanging from above, Wu Fei said: "It's September now, and it's hot outside, how can there be icicles here?" It's so mysterious. ”

"There's got to be something in this hole that keeps the temperature up, let's go inside and see."

The two of them continued to walk along the cave, and the further they went, the colder they felt, and the two of them shivered from the cold.

"Hey, desert, no, it's too cold, let's go out, or we'll be frozen into ice."

"Hold on a little longer, walk for another half an hour and we'll go back without seeing the end."

The two men trembled and continued to walk forward for about 10 minutes when they saw a bright light. Then the light gets brighter and brighter. The last magnificent scenery appeared in front of the two people. A huge canyon stretches in front of you, and on the opposite side of the canyon is a waterfall, and one end of the canyon leads to the outside of the mountain, and you can see the trees and flowers outside, and the light also penetrates from here. The other end leads deeper into the belly of the mountain, with no end in sight to the darkness. Looking up, it is still the top of the mountain, about 20 meters high, and down is a shocking abyss. What surprised them the most was that the boulder outside was still visible, and it was still stuck diagonally. And here it is like a giant slide, sliding into an unknown underground world. Luckily, it's not that cold anymore. Zhang Mo looked around, took out the positioning compass and gossip map, studied it for a long time, and said, "This should be an excellent feng shui treasure land." There is wind and sun in the east, rain and shade in the west, mountains in the south, and water in the north. There is a dome to cover the sun and the moon, and there is no mountain stone to block yin and yang. If it weren't for the boulder sticking a leg diagonally here, this place would be just perfect. ”

"Such a nice place, will there be a big tomb? I heard Hu Bayi say in the ghost blowing lamp that good feng shui will definitely have good holes, and I now feel that the two of us are really a bit like him and Wang Fatzi. ”

"They are tomb robbers and destroy feng shui, we are scientific investigations and protect feng shui. That's not the same at all. Alas, Wu Shifei, look at that big stone, it has always been there from our entrance to the cave, how big do you think it should be? ”

"So I think there's something strange about this stone, why don't we go down this big rock and see what it is?"

"Okay, but if you want to follow me, you must follow my command. This is completely different from climbing mountains and drilling caves, and it is extremely dangerous. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

With that, the two men took out the rope from their knapsacks, fastened one end to a stone protruding from the cave, tied the other end around their waists, and began to slide down the giant stone monument, which was cold at first, but gradually warmed up as it went down. After about ten minutes of sliding down but not bottoming out, the two of them couldn't help but be a little scared in their hearts. Especially Wu Fei, he kept saying: "Desert, let's go up, here is bottomless, maybe it is directly connected to hell." Zhang Mo lowered his headlamp and looked down, and what came into view was still pitch black, which was indeed bottomless. Originally, the mouth of the canyon leading to the outside world on the left side turned an angle, completely obscuring the bright light at the exit, making it even more cold and dark below. Zhang Mo paused for a moment and shouted at Wu Fei: "Wu Shifei, why did we come so far away?" ”

"Adventure!"

", we're here to save someone."

"Save Lu Yingfei, he's not here, don't rescue him, and fold the two of us here. My hands hurt and my arms are sore, and I guess I'm running out of rope. ”

"Even if I take my life, I have to rescue him."

"You don't even know where he is, how to save him, just one of my dreams. You really believe it! Besides, if he is captured by aliens, it is not certain that people will enjoy it there. ”

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, save some strength and slide down!"

"You said that the two of you were friends of life and death, and you sacrificed your life to save him in the past, but now you have to pull a cushion. Am I a little wronged? ”

Zhang Mo no longer paid attention to Wu Fei and continued to slide down.

At this time, Wu Fei's hand slipped, and he didn't catch any of them, and his whole body fell down with a "whoosh". When he slid past Zhang Mo, Zhang Mo grabbed it easily, but unfortunately the speed was extremely fast and the strength was great, so he couldn't catch it at all.

Zhang Mo shouted: "Grab the rope!" But in such a hurry, Wu Fei was already scared in his heart, and he was completely inexperienced, where could he catch the rope. At this time, Zhang Mo suddenly saw that the rope that Wu Fei was tying slammed down, and then fell off it. It may be that the rope is at the end, and Wu Fei's body is too strong in gravity acceleration and tears the rope on it.

Zhang Mo frantically grabbed the fallen rope, but the rope was thrown far away and couldn't reach it in a flash, and the next thing was to watch the rope fall. Zhang Mo shouted at Wu Fei, but he didn't even hear back. Zhang Mo continued to slide down, and after about 10 minutes, the rope came to an end. The rope was 100 meters long, but when he looked down, it was still pitch black. Zhang Mo shouted Wu Fei's name a few more times, but still couldn't get any answer.

Zhang Mo had no choice but to climb up the same way. He was in a state of turmoil, he didn't know what to do, he hadn't been saved yet, but he had lost a brother. It's all my own harm, thinking of this, tears flowed down my face, and I couldn't help but shout loudly at this dark and deep Grand Canyon. But at this moment, I saw that the boulder beside him suddenly lit up faintly, just like a firefly suddenly appeared in the dark night, emitting an extremely faint purple light.

Zhang Mo couldn't help but take two steps back, and then take a closer look, but it only lit up twice and there was no change in anything. Zhang Mo sat on the ground helplessly, facing the canyon. Suddenly, purple, red, and blue light erupted from the depths of the canyon, a light that had no source or end, but only flickered in a certain section of space. It is very similar to the aurora at the poles of the earth. Zhang Mo couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He hurriedly took out his camera, took two pictures of the "Aurora", and when he wanted to take a few more shots, the "Aurora" disappeared.

Zhang Mo waited here for more than two hours, without any movement around, and then shouted Wu Fei a few times to the canyon, but there was still no response. So he planned to turn back the way he came, and then call the police for help. When Zhang Mo came out of the cave, he looked at the table below, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and he thought that the hotel owner said that he would go down the mountain before 4 o'clock, and there was no signal on his mobile phone here. So he went down the mountain and called the police, who arrived 10 minutes later, first asking for his identity and then asking them about the purpose of their trip. Zhang Mo told the police that he came to play with his friends, and then he was in distress, and he escaped alone, and his friend Wu Fei fell into the abyss, hoping that the police could rescue him. The police said that the conditions here are not good, and we have no professional rescue equipment, so we can only go over and do our best. However, at this time, because there will be seven dragon winds soon, you can't rush up the mountain. Wait until dawn tomorrow morning, and call the firefighters to go over. Zhang Mo was furious, but there was no way.

Zhang Mo's mood was extremely heavy at night, he knew that Wu Fei had no chance of surviving if he fell into the abyss, and the police were unwilling to act in the best rescue time. The thought of his two best friends leaving one after the other because of his little vanity made him lose his voice and stay awake all night.

The next day, two policemen and four firefighters brought some simple equipment and Zhang Mo went up the mountain again. On the way, he heard one of the firefighters say that it seemed that in the nineties, there was also an adventure enthusiast who disappeared here, and the firefighters at that time searched for two days but could not find it. Hearing this, Zhang Mo's mood became even heavier. They walked along the road led by Zhang Mo until they reached the abyss, and the situation here was unchanged from yesterday, except that the "aurora" they saw yesterday has not appeared today.

Firefighters held searchlights and megaphones, shining and shouting below. Nothing but a few echoes. They told Zhang Mo that this was an undeveloped barren mountain that was forbidden for pedestrians, and that they were not familiar with the terrain and did not have particularly advanced equipment, so the rescue could only end there. Zhang Mo begged them to think of another way, but they still refused to give further rescue on the grounds that they did not have advanced equipment. and told Zhang Mo to report to the local police station when he went back. Zhang Mo saw that the two policemen were also suspicious of him, so he didn't dare to continue pestering them.

After that, Zhang Mo came over for many days, bringing a laser rangefinder and some other equipment, but in the end he did not get any response and never observed the mysterious "aurora" again.

A few days later, Zhang Mo felt that the rescue period had completely passed, and he had indeed done his best, so he left Yuanling and returned to Shanghai with extremely complicated feelings. After arriving in Shanghai, he found Yang Yanyu and told her what had happened, and Yang Yanyu was surprised and sad. In the end, Zhang Mo gave Yang Yanyu the "Aurora" photo he took with his camera, saying that this was the only gain.

The next day, Yang Yanyu took the photos to the institute and called her team members for a special seminar. But no one looking at each other can explain this phenomenon. Just when Yang Yanyu was disappointed, someone suddenly said: "Could it be a ghost meteorite?" Although the voice was small, it was still heard by everyone, and everyone turned their heads with a "swish".

I saw that the person who spoke was a man about fifty or sixty years old, with a black stubble on his face, his chin in his left hand, his eyelids drooping and looking at the tabletop, and the other hand drawing circles on the table, and in front of him was a white porcelain jar that was popular in the last century, and the tea brewed in it was still emitting heat.

Everyone laughed at once. It turned out that the name of the person who spoke was Qiu Thirteen, and he was named because he was ranked thirteenth among his family peers. His father was originally the founder of the Chinese Institute of Astrophysics, returned from the United States in the 40s of the last century, and founded the Chinese Astrophysics Research Association with several well-known people in the domestic industry, and later merged into the Central Institute of Astrophysics of China after the founding of New China, and then was transferred to the National Astronomical Observatories.

However, during the ***** period, he was persecuted, paraded through the streets many times, criticized and beaten, and finally was unjustly imprisoned and tortured to death. Qiu Thirteen was a teenager and had a great future, but because of his father, his future became slim, and he could only rely on his mother. A year after his father's death, his mother became ill, and half a year later he died with his father.

Qiu 13 had no choice but to go to Shanghai to join his relatives, but the relatives were afraid of his father's political influence, and no one was willing to accept them, and they ended up on the streets. A year later, it ended, and his father was also wronged. Qiu 13 was arranged to do grassroots work at the Shanghai branch of his father's original unit, but the long-term political oppression and embarrassment of life made Qiu 13 timid and inferior, mentally depressed, and rarely took the initiative to talk to people. Although the people in the institute sympathized with his plight, after all, their lives were not easy, and few people really cared about him.

Qiu 13 has been in the institute for 40 years, due to personality reasons, he is not good at communication, although there are some small achievements in research, but he has never been able to get the recognition of the leadership. Although his paper "Multidimensional Orientation Theory of Neutrinos" that he researched and published in the institute caused a lot of shock in the institute, it was later suppressed by the leadership. Although he insisted repeatedly, he stopped speaking after being denied many times by the leadership. So that he is now almost sixty years old and still at the grassroots level, and he has never married and started a family, and the leader of the institute also thought of his father to let him stay in the institute. But slowly, he became a joke in the office. Everyone's words or opinions about him are basically jokes, and the older he gets, the more people think that he is talking incoherently. In particular, he has a book, which is very shabby, but he treats it as a treasure, and never shows it to others, always saying that it is something that his father left behind with all his might, and he will try his best to protect it. After a long time, everyone took this as a joke. So everyone was laughing when they heard his words just now, and Yang Yanyu glanced at him and smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Qiu 13 saw that everyone was laughing at him, and he also grinned and smirked.

In the evening, Yang Yanyu worked overtime until late. Seeing that today's work was almost busy, I made a cup of coffee, sat on the sofa, picked up the photo of "Aurora" and looked at it again. The mysterious "aurora" in the photo is not very monochromatic like the aurora in the South Pole or the North Pole, it is bright and numerous. A huge rock reclined in the middle of the mountain beside a deep canyon and descended into the middle of nowhere. The more Yang Yanyu looked at this boulder, the more strange she felt, under normal circumstances, mountains are formed from the bottom up, but why is this boulder and this mountain seem to be separated, and it seems to be inserted diagonally into the mountain. It doesn't look like it was natural.

"Ghost meteorite, could it be..."Yang Yanyu suddenly seemed to think of something. She picked up her phone and pressed the dial button.

"The sunrise aurora is seven colors white, and the seven points of the dragon wind are far away. Mo is difficult to solve because of the mixed element, disturbing my brother's peace. 》
