I was relieved to see that the compass and compass were fine, and said with a smile: "I guess I was frightened by the ecstasy that Uncle Xiang said." ”

After smoking, everyone continued to set off, and I thought about whether I was scared like this, and I was still a little embarrassed.

After continuing to move forward for a while, Ermao shouted at me in front of me in fright, I hurried to go, this time everyone was frightened, and the trunk was my handprint just now.

Everyone is silent now, we have been going around in circles in this old forest now? But there's no problem with the direction we set!

I said, "Well, I'll keep going and see if I come back here again!" ”

Lin Xia said, "Then I'll accompany you, and I'll see what's going on." ”

So everyone waited in place, and Lin Xia and I used the compass to determine the direction and continue to walk forward. Marks are made every few meters walked.

We were sure that the two of us were definitely walking in a straight line, carefully navigating the fog. Not long after, there was a sound in front, I pulled up Lin Xia and ran over quickly, Ermao and they were still sitting there, and they were shocked to see us coming out from behind.

I said in a trembling voice, "Is it really a ghost hitting the wall?" ”

Everyone didn't have an answer, and they all stood stupidly and didn't know what to do.

Professor Wen pondered for a while and said, "During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Kongming laid down eight formations in the fish belly and almost trapped Lu Xun, but fortunately he was rescued by Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan to get out of the predicament. Could it be that this is also the eight array diagram laid out by the predecessors? ”

Tuesday Mao said: "What should I do?" Lu Xun can still wait for Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, who can we wait for to rescue us? ”

I thought for a long time and said, "Otherwise, I'll blindfold my eyes, so that I can't see those dirty things, and see if I can break this formation." ”

So I let Tuesday Mao cover me with a cloth, and then let Tuesday Mao follow me and not be allowed to speak, I was hit all the way to the point that my nose was blue and my face was swollen and I returned to the same place in vain.

An atmosphere of panic began to spread among us, with some suggesting to wait for the fog to clear, and even some saying that the woods should be burned.

I said, "I don't know when the clouds and fog in this mountain will disperse, and I don't know what other weirdness there is in this mountain forest, and it is even more impossible to burn the forest, and this humid environment can't be burned at all now." ”

Tuesday Mao was an anxious child, and said: "This is not good, that is not good, can we just sit here and wait for death?" ”

I'm also anxious, and it's not the way to spend it here. I stood up and looked around carefully, only to see that there were many white flocculent grasses on the muddy ground in addition to dead leaves and weeds, and I suddenly remembered that Master had said before his death that there was a kind of ecstasy grass in the Wuling Mountains that could confuse people's minds, this kind of grass was like dandelions, and when the wind blew, it would scatter and float in the air, and people and livestock would usually appear similar to ghosts hitting the wall as long as they encountered it, and later explained that it may be a temporary vestibular organ disorder from a modern medical point of view. Because the vestibular organs manage the linear movement of the head and changes in direction, we have been circling in the woods.

Thinking of this, I thought for a moment and immediately asked everyone to plug their ears with paper balls, and then I was the first to go. Let everyone move forward hand in hand.

After walking for dozens of minutes, suddenly there was a light in front of us, and we had already penetrated through the old forest.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the edge of the forest to rest and adjust.

Lin Xia praised me happily: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful." ”

I smiled and said, "The blind cat ran into a dead mouse, but I didn't expect it to be really good to try." ”

I took the telescope from Lin Xia's hand, climbed a big tree to see the road ahead, but it is estimated that there are few people here, and the trees are too luxuriant, so I can only continue to walk through a piece of weeds in front, but fortunately, the weeds are never big, and I saw the appearance of this sinkhole.

Tiankeng is called "karst funnel landform" in geography, and there are no less than dozens of masterpieces of this long-term action of flowing water and rocks in the Wuling Mountains, but it is the first time I have seen such a large diameter. And the pit wall is steep all around, look down from above, only to see a huge sea of fog, the wind blows, the sea of fog is churning, like a pot of steaming boiling water, such a strange landscape is really breathtaking.

We walked around the sinkhole to find our way down, but there wasn't a single trail around, let alone a big road. But my gut kept telling me that it must have something to do with the concentrator here, but I can't say why.

As I walked again, I was pleasantly surprised to see a section of artificially constructed stone stairs on the ground in front of me, which was partially collapsed but still recognizable. I hurriedly pointed it out to Lin Xia, and Lin Xia also saw it, we quickened our pace to the stone steps, only to see that the collapse of the stone steps was at least 7 or 8 meters down, but fortunately we had ropes, so we knotted the rope and went down. Descending to the stone steps, looking down at the fog below, the visibility was less than 5 meters, and it was really impossible to tell how deep this sinkhole was. ”

We looked in the direction he pointed, faintly saw a little colored cloth, we walked over with a gun, only to see a dry bone lying on the ground under the tree, judging from the style of clothes on the body and a rusty knife next to it, it is estimated that it was the Ming soldiers who went into the mountains to search for Miao people in the Ming Dynasty, maybe some soldiers were lucky to come here from the old forest, but I don't know that they died here.

At this time, Professor Wen, who was walking in the front, also shouted, and we hurriedly walked towards Professor Wen, Professor Wen didn't speak, just pointed to the front, only to see a large number of dry bones in the grass under the tree, some were dressed as Miao people, and some were dressed as Ming soldiers, it is estimated that there was a fierce battle here hundreds of years ago. Later, I don't know what happened, neither side cleaned the battlefield, and let the dry bones be exposed to the wind and sun for hundreds of years.

We roughly counted the bones, and there were no less than 100 dry bones, and it seemed that the scale of the battle was not small.

A young man with a gun walked among the dry bones, probably trying to look through the valuable things, just walked to a skull with a helmet, and tried to pick off the hat with the gun, but suddenly heard him let out a scream, threw away the gun in his hand, and squatted on the ground in pain with his right hand.

I was closest to him, I saw something strange under the skull, I pulled the team member back, and suddenly a long snake with a pattern like a dead leaf spit out the snake letter and shot out of the air, fortunately I was prepared, sideways dodge, the little snake saw the air, twisted its body, and disappeared into the grass. 、

Tuesday Mao exclaimed: "Five-step snake! ”

At this time, the team member I pulled over was already pale, his head was drenched in cold sweat, and his whole body was trembling. Fortunately, the expedition team was well prepared, and another team doctor hurriedly came over, took out a needle and injected the injured team member, and the team member stopped trembling after a while. I and Tuesday Mao Daqi, this is much faster than the snake medicine of those old masters in the mountains. Lin Xia saw that we were so curious, and said: "This is the latest antivenom, as long as you are bitten by a poisonous snake, it will be fine to inject a needle." ”

Suddenly, another member of the team shouted in horror: "Tree... In the trees ... It's all snakes! ”

We were startled and looked towards the woods in front of us, only to see that the trees were full of dense circles and writhing snakes, and everyone was terrified and frightened. Our movement just now must have alarmed these snakes, and Lin Xia shouted, "Retreat!" ”

Tuesday Mao is worthy of being the descendant of the hunter, not afraid of danger, while shouting everyone calm, while taking out the wine bottle he carried, walking at the end while scattering, the snake smelled the wine has slowed down the speed of the pounce, Tuesday Mao walked quickly to a narrow two dry stones between a few leaves, poured out a little gunpowder, when the snake group pounced again, ignited the gunpowder, sure enough, the snake group was frightened, and fled in all directions.

Everyone finally escaped, but they were also frightened.

Seeing that it was already so dangerous on the top of the sinkhole, everyone couldn't help but worry about what strange things would happen under the sinkhole.
