Chapter Forty-Nine: The Jungle
The cloud of death has been suppressing in this team that is hostile to me, all of them are people, and this sudden change has made everyone very silent. The heavy rain had finally subsided, and we pitched a tent again, and if we were to travel at night, it would not be a matter of courage or not, and morale would not allow it.
"I'm here to play, you guys came early, what evil things are there in the snakes here?" At this time, Lao Zhu asked me.
I shook my head and said, "I really don't know this, playing with snakes, that wizard is the ancestor, he will sacrifice to those snakes, understand their habits, just be careful of the corpses of those who died, those snakes seem to be able to manipulate them." Not necessarily, though. ”
"Snakes manipulate corpses, so what the fuck are they called snakes?" Lao Zhu asked.
"Who knows, I was attacked by the corpse of that ground mouse, and that corpse was once dedicated to the snake in this mountain." I said.
Lao Zhu didn't speak, but asked me to rest for a while, now it's not far from the so-called beetle snake tomb, even if I rush tomorrow morning, I should be able to arrive before noon, I am indeed very tired. I just soaked my feet in hot water and I was sleepy, and the night was quite peaceful. Early the next morning, we continued on our way, and the team stopped before a ravine, and almost many of them were unsteady at what was in front of them.
"The ground mouse lied, he definitely didn't come with a few thieves to dig a pit last time." Lao Zhu scolded.
I nodded, deeply sympathetic, this scene in front of us is really too shocking, right in front of our eyes, is a mountain of snake skin, this is a strange scene that countless snakes can only experience molting, just looking at the number of snake molts, it is impossible to estimate the number of snakes in this mountain, can only be measured by countless.
The ground mouse had been emphasizing to us that he was just idle and bored at that time, and a few small thieves from other places asked him to step on an idea together, and then he got the jade pendant by accident. We didn't feel it before, but now we know that it's completely nonsense, even if it is a professional inverted douer gang committing crimes, we have to think about it when we see this snake mountain, and if a few of them are really bored to come and see, they won't be aware of the danger here?
"When you go back, check the details of this ground mouse." Old Zhu Dao.
"Don't fucking think about those who don't have it, can't you get in now? I think it's estimated that it's ten thousand snake guards. There are only five or six of us, and there is simply not enough for them to stuff their teeth. I said.
"We've all come here, and if you don't go in, you won't be happy. Let's go. Lao Zhu waved his hand and said.
But the two of us started, and the people behind didn't follow, Lao Zhu turned around and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"What the boss said was to let us follow the one surnamed Zhao, but I didn't let the brothers go to death, Lao Zhu, if you want to go, you can go by yourself, and our brothers won't play with you, and ah, when you are clear, I will burn paper money for you." The old black who had always seemed to be brave and unscrupulous said.
This is the relationship made up of money, Lao Zhu wanted to get angry, I stopped him and said: "It's true that people have their own ambitions, besides, if you really encounter a group of snakes, it doesn't matter if you have more of them or less of them." ”
So just like that, when we were about to reach our destination, we parted ways once, and these people who showed off their might in the village are now almost completely frightened, no wonder, these people follow Huang Lao for money, but if you have money to earn, you have to spend your life, right?
I and Lao Zhu alone through this canyon place, there is a rainforest-like place in front, the terrain here is low, the recent period is the rainy season, here is a collection of a certain amount of water, although there is no lake or the like, but it is muddy, it is very difficult, Lao Zhu holds a compass, walk for a while to look at the map to compare the compass.
"It had rained before, and it rained heavily last night, and according to the topography here, this should not just be muddy, but will converge into a small lake, at least according to this low terrain, this should also be a swamp, but no, don't you feel strange?" Lao Zhu asked me.
"Don't tell me this, I didn't study this major in college, and I'm not a bad fighter." I said.
"If you don't say this, I thought you all understood, if according to the feng shui geographical aspect, this should be regarded as a place where the dragon absorbs water, although it is not a big mountain, but a mountain and a dragon, to the terrain here to form a largest trough, it is considered a dragon to absorb water, it seems that this is indeed not an ancient tomb, according to such a geographical pattern, this place is not suitable for burying people, more suitable for the existence of a temple." Old Zhu Dao.
"That's right, no one has ever said that this is a tomb, look at the wizard's reaction, this should be a temple, and the temple is dedicated to the god of beetles and the yellow-skinned lady." I said.
"The temple is built in the mountains, and there is no record in history, it's really fucking strange, and this temple is not on the ground, it is underground, this underground temple also has a relatively complete underground drainage system, and the water that should have gathered into a small river here is discharged through the underground drainage system of the temple, this should be a big project, so I feel that this place is very strange, it shouldn't be, such a big project, how can there be no local records?" Old Zhu Dao.
According to Lao Zhu's statement, the entrance to this underground beetle snake temple should be the lowest place in this basin-like place, we can only continue to walk like this, the mud itself makes it very uncomfortable to walk, we stop and go, but it seems that we can never reach the lowest place, and finally I was tired and leaned against a tree and lay down like this: "How can it be so far, don't go, don't go." ”
Lao Zhu held the compass and said with a very ugly face: "Little Sanliang, it is estimated that we are on the road, how do I feel that we are going in circles in place?" ”
"It's not me who leads the way, it's you, do you still have to suspect me?" I scolded.
He shook his head and said: "It should be the problem of this temple itself, this is a formation, made of Qimen Dunjia, you have seen the Condor shooting, Huang Yaoshi's Peach Blossom Island is arranged according to Qimen Dunjia, as long as you go in, it will be difficult to come out again, it should be the same here, according to a Qimen Dunjia to make a formation, so that people who come in can't find the entrance, and they can't get out." ”
"Can't get out?" I wondered.
Lao Zhu nodded and said, "What do you think?" We just want to go now, but I guess we can't. ”
I was suddenly weak, I asked Lao Zhu for a cigarette, leaned on the big tree and smoked slowly, I haven't been worried much until now, maybe it's because of my childlike mentality, I always feel that my second uncle will definitely save me, I can't starve to death in this place, isn't it?
Lao Zhu seemed to see my thoughts, and scolded: "Your second uncle can lead snakes to you, don't count on him, a person who has never seen you since childhood, how much affection do you really expect him to have for you?" ”
I didn't believe Lao Zhu's words, we both stopped and stopped, and finally I was desperate, because we left a mark next, from noon to near night, we were all going around in circles, and we couldn't get out of this foggy wetland, and at night, my legs were like lead, and the whole person was even more tired and fell asleep without saying a word.
This sleep is dim, I knit and hope that my grandfather can give me some guidance in my dream, but no, this dream is full of snakes, dense snake shadows, and in the end I dreamed of the glamorous proprietress who was naked, but her lower body became a snake, and I scolded in my dream that you are a fucking beautiful snake! Then I was woken up by a slap that hurt to wake me up.
I didn't have to think about it to know that it was Lao Zhu who smoked, I opened my eyes and was about to scold him, but he covered his mouth, and he said to me: "Don't be silent, you listen." ”
I pricked up my ears and noticed that in this silent rainforest, there was a dense sound of footsteps.
"Snakes?" I was also stupid and asked.
"It's not like it, it's like a human being." He said. The regiment is carried.
I was happy all of a sudden, people, the person here may be my second uncle! It was at this time that the footsteps finally approached us, I stretched out my head to see, my scalp was almost blown up, and a group of people appeared in front of me, but this pair of people were wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, with carrion on their bodies, and some could even see long braids, which were carrion corpses, but walking at night.
I turned around and wanted to escape, but I was pressed to the ground by Lao Zhu.
