Chapter 40: Shalong Mountain
At this time, the driver also jumped out of the car to check the situation behind the car. There are two striking green traces on the road behind, but at the end of the traces is not a person, but a stone figurine that has been broken by a car - the size of a real person, the stone figurine is not strong, only a layer of stone shell outside, the middle is all empty, and it has been smashed into a number of fragments, and all crawling out of it are dense white worms.
The worms were crushed by the wheels, and there was a lot of green juice coming out of the bodies of dead worms on the ground, and the disgusting scene made people want to vomit.
The driver looked at it below, stepped on a few of them with his feet, and scolded: "It's really unlucky, where did such a rotten stone full of maggots come out of here, and it knocked a big piece of the car into it." ”
Shirley Yang pointed to a stone chip on the ground from the car window and said to me: "Lao Hu, do you see that this stone figurine is an imitation of the Han Dynasty, could it be a product of the period of dedication to the king?" ”
Leon jumped out of the car, looked at the dead insects on the ground, and frowned, and said, "I have long heard that the ancient countries of the East have strange things, and this is indeed a bit different." ”
Hu Bayi shook his head and said: "I don't know, this thing has been crushed and can't see clearly, but it doesn't look like a product of the Han Dynasty." ”
The tea seller on the side took the initiative to take the initiative and said: "There are more such stone figurines near Shalong Mountain, they are all buried in the mountains, sometimes catching up with landslides, and occasionally they are revealed, and they are all covered with fat maggots." Some people say that this is an ancient humanoid coffin, but it is all rumored by the wind, and it is not known exactly what it was used for. The locals are disgusted with this kind of thing, believing it to be an unlucky omen and a sign of illness and death. I met it in the car today, and we are unlucky, and we will go to the Jade Emperor Pavilion in a few days to ask for a silver talisman to keep you safe. ”
Hu Bayi glanced at the tea seller, who seemed to be a local, and naturally he was also familiar with the road.
The tea sellers thought they were constantly introducing the local customs.
Hu Bayi kept putting on the words of the tea sellers and kept quoting the topic of Shalong Mountain.
The tea seller was also a more talkative master, and said: "But the mountain range of Shalong Mountain is like a boundary monument here, and few people climb over the mountain to the other side. There are a lot of poisonous insects and poisonous fog over there, mosquitoes breed, the valley is humid and stuffy, the miasma persists all year round, many people have disappeared there, and no one among the locals wants to go there. What's more...... It is that the mountain is too high, and there is a snow line on it, and the weather is changeable, hail, heavy rain, strong winds, etc., just now, it is still sunny and daylight, and bad weather will appear in an instant. If there is no large group of people, it is very risky to climb Shalong Mountain. ”
The driver also repaired the car, and Leon whispered a few words in Hu Bayi's ear, meaning not to make that car.
The chat group is sold at the original price and bought at the original price, which is a natural storage space, of course, provided that you don't let others buy it.
Leon exchanged a large jeep for it, and several people sat comfortably on it.
The big golden tooth said with a comfortable face: "I said, Master Li, why didn't you take out this thing earlier?" ”
Leon started the car and said, "I don't know the road." Now all you have to do is stay behind that long-distance body. ”
The big jeep has a lot of space, more than enough to seat a few people, and the car is much more stable than that long-distance car.
After two hours, we finally arrived at the foot of Shalong Mountain, where there were no residential villages, and some of the stone quarryers also lived a little farther away. There is only one inn at the foot of the mountain that provides accommodation for merchants who come here to do the tea business. The two Bai women who were traveling with us were the owners of this Caiyun Inn, and they went out to buy things and came back. It's not easy to go out of the mountains here, so I have to buy a lot of things at one time, big bags and small wraps with a child, I learned ** with the fat man, not only carrying dozens of pounds of their own equipment, but also helping them carry rice and peppers; By the time I got there, I was already tired and had a sore back.
A few people found an inn, the innkeeper was a young widow, and next to her was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old beautiful girl named Peacock, with big eyes, very cute.
The two of them went out to buy things and came back. It's not easy to go out of the mountains here, so you have to buy a lot of things at one time, big bags and small wraps with a child, Hu Bayi dragged the big gold tooth and the fat man to learn **, not only carrying their own dozens of pounds of equipment, but also helping them carry rice and peppers.
Cheng Long, as a hero, naturally did not complain at all, so Lou Manfeng and Leon also did it for a while.
When they arrived at the place, the fat man and the big gold tooth had the worst physique, and they were already lying on the ground and not moving.
The proprietress looked grateful, and kept thanking her for taking the initiative to make tea and cook for a few people.
Wang Fatzi put the Buddha on his body and poured out his inexhaustible strength, and took the initiative to help the proprietress before and after.
Lou Manfeng sat on the side, with his heart facing the sky, looking detached.
Leon and Hu Bayi took binoculars and went out to survey the terrain, and the two found a remote place and began to draw a map of the entire Shalong Mountain with a drone.
I saw that the highest mountain reached into the sky, and on both sides it were all steep cliffs, undulating and undulating, and there was no end to it, and it was impossible to tell whether the top of the mountain was gathering white clouds or snow. There are indeed a lot of clouds and mist here, and they are clearly layered, and there are wisps of green smoke and mist on the mountainside, and the higher you go, the thicker the clouds become, all of which are stopped by the mountains and condensed together. The mountain is light green granite, and the main peak of the entire Shalong Mountain is like a white-crowned and green-armored samurai, standing in the middle of the forest.
The forest and sea under the mountain are vast, and the waterfalls and earth forests are in various forms, creating a beautiful native natural scenery. The mountains and rivers in this vicinity are about the same as those depicted on the human skin map, but they are not as detailed as those drawn by drones, and in the depths of the valley behind the mountains and forests is the tomb of King Xian that we are looking for. As for whether there are dust beads in the tomb, there is really no certainty, but as for whether there is danger this time, with these masters, I am afraid it is not a big problem.
Although the scientific and technological items are strong, they are some of them that cannot be used in Shalong Mountain, and they are also a question mark when they are busy for an hour.
After eating, a few people sat on the side and chatted sentence by sentence, the peacock held the tea, handed it to everyone and listened to the conversation of several people, a little out of bounds, just thought it was a joke, and said with a smile: "You want to go to the valley on the other side of Shalong Mountain to catch butterflies, there is a tunnel under Shalong Mountain, you can put a row down the river to pass through the mountain, no need to go over the mountain." But there are a lot of dead people over there, and it's often haunted. ”
The peacock's words can be described as a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the eyes of Hu Bayi and others lit up.
How to enter the Worm Valley, it has been marked on the human skin map, there are two in total: one is to climb over the tuyere on Shalong Mountain, and the other is to bypass Shalong Mountain along the Snake River, but it is not easy to walk.
The proprietress came over and said in detail: "There are many caves as dense as spider webs at the bottom of Shalong Mountain, the legend is that they were dug by the ancestors in ancient times, and there were rebel bandits who occupied it to fight against the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers were helpless against the complex terrain in the mountain, so they had to build all the holes with stones, and the people inside were trapped alive inside; In the future, whenever you put your ear to the rock of Shalong Mountain, you will hear a desperate cry in the mountain.................."
Finally, the proprietress instructed: "Although it is a shortcut to go from there, there are many strange-shaped corpses on both sides of the cave, and no one knows when they died in it, and the faint-hearted will be frightened out of the way." There have been a few times when someone has passed through the cave, but firstly, there is a lot of miasma in the worm valley over there, and secondly, there is no human population over there, and there is no point in going there, and no one has passed there for a while recently, so if you want to take a shortcut, you need to be more careful. ”
Hu Bayi and the others are not worried about this, the special gas mask has a good effect, but it is still explained out of consideration.
After resting, several people straightened up their equipment and walked towards the place that the proprietress said.
This is a limestone cave, and when you enter the cave, you can walk down a dozen steps diagonally and you can see a river at your feet. But it's more appropriate to say a deep stream than a river – nearly a meter below the ground, about three meters deep, and with a slow current, probably a tributary of the Lancang River, the first half of which is hidden underground until the lower terrain of the cave.
The cave here is very wide, Leon used a strong flashlight to shine into the dark depths of the cave, the height difference inside is very large, the wide place can drive a tank, and the low place is only more than a meter high. There are many dissolved rocks that have been formed for more than 1,000 years, and they are all strange, and this is only the entrance to the cave not far from the cave, and the environment inside will be even more complicated. It seems that if you want to put a row through the hole, you need to lie on your stomach to pass through some lots. Except for the sound of the murmuring water, the entire cave is unusually quiet, and the thunder of the showers outside is not heard here, as if it is completely isolated from the rest of the world.
A few people exchanged three kayaks, which were especially reinforced and very strong, and it was estimated that it would take an hour to dry them with a chainsaw.
In addition to the kayak and the starting device, with Tony Stark present, these little things are all at hand.
The big gold tooth touched the kayak and sighed: "This is probably the most comfortable tomb I have ever robbed in my life." ”
Wang Fatzi found a comfortable posture and said: "Fat man, I can be regarded as a teacher, if this is left in the past, I won't believe it." Alas. ”
Unlike the hot and humid weather outside the mountain, the deeper you go down the mountain, the more you feel the cool breeze hit. From time to time, you can see swarms of phosphorus fire flickering in the distance, indicating that there are animal corpses, and it seems that this is not a lifeless world.
Sitting on the kayak and shining down with a flashlight, you can also see some water snakes and some small fish swimming, Lou Manfeng reached into the water to try it, the water here is even a little biting cold.
The speed of the water has become faster, and even if the engine is stopped, the speed of the flow cannot be concealed much.
