Walk? Where to go?

Yang Shu and I looked at each other, both of them looking confused.

Why did this arrogant guy take the opportunity to leave a note, is it a warning or an expulsion?

I didn't say a word, I shook off the banknote vigorously, and the cinnabar on it was scattered, and the handwriting disappeared.

Writing on smooth banknotes with dry powder cinnabar, ordinary people can't do it at all, Xie Zhijian used his aura to barely write, but I can only live up to his painstaking efforts, because I really can't guess the mystery.

Yang Shu looked at the cinnabar that fell one after another: "Is he asking us to roll up the cover and get out?" ”

"This is also what I can't figure out, if you want to drive us away, just dismiss us directly, why bother with this effort?"

"Could it be that he felt that you saved Chen Xi, and his popularity in the group was increasing, and he drove us away openly, for fear of falling into a jealous and jealous handle, so he secretly left a note and let us take the initiative to leave?"

I glanced at him approvingly and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I know how to use my brain, although I can't guess bullshit." ”

Since I can't guess what they are, I can only wait until tomorrow to see what they say and find out what is wrong.

As for leaving now, I wouldn't think about it.

Before the purpose of coming here was achieved, he was frightened away by a note, and when he said it, he smiled generously.

In a dangerous mountain village, I naturally couldn't really sleep, and closed my eyes and slept until dawn.

After a night's rest, Chen Xi's face improved a lot, but Xie Zhijian still left a female team member to take care of her and let her rest with pay, so it seems that Director Xie is not so mean and stingy.

But until breakfast the film crew was deployed, I didn't find a chance to be alone with him.

And Xie Zhijian acted like he was fine, and he didn't show any intention of driving us away.

When they arrived at the memorial hall, they did not shoot in the museum, but wanted to go to the depths of the fortress first while it was still early.

The ruins of the Dongning Fortress Complex are a huge fortress group composed of more than a dozen fortresses such as the Hades Palace, the South Tianshan Mountain, the North Tianshan Mountain, the Xun Mountain, and the Shenghong Mountain, which are distributed on the border line of more than 100 kilometers.

As soon as I heard that I was going to Madaling, my heart couldn't help but tremble, that place is not something that ordinary people can go to casually.

There is a saying in the Northeast vernacular called Madashan, which means that you get lost in the deep mountains and old forests and can't get out.

And Madaling is directly named after the word Mada, it can be seen that its terrain is complex and steep, ordinary people are often easy to go in and difficult to come out, even if it is a local who is familiar with the terrain, it is difficult to ensure that it can distinguish the southeast and northwest in it.

But despite my immediate objections, the film crew insisted on going, and for good reason, because there had been a terrible battle there, in which the Japanese and the Soviets faced off, with thousands of dead and wounded, and it was not to be missed.

Everyone insisted, and I, the guide, naturally couldn't refuse, so I had to get into the car again and let the poplar drive to lead the way.

But I can't help but start to wonder what these people really mean by coming here.

Do they want to make a film, or do they hear the rumors of treasure hiding in Madaling like those treasure hunters, and come to hunt for treasure while the grass and trees are dead in winter? Or, after learning the true secret of the fortress group, you want to use Madaling as an entry point?

Either way, I really have to keep an eye on these people, and I can't let them cause trouble right under my nose.

The mountain road was rugged, and there was no road after driving for more than ten kilometers, so everyone had to unload the car, walk up the mountain with equipment on their backs, and climb for more than half an hour before finally climbing a higher hill at the entrance of Madaling.

When they reached the top of the mountain, everyone was miserable, although they were also considered to have traveled all over the world, but this kind of experience of walking in the snow without roads in the deep mountains was really the first time, harsh and strict as Xie Zhijian, and they had to stop and rest.

Standing on a raised rock at the top of the mountain, I looked at the rolling mountains around me, and my heart was also undulating.

The mountain feng shui here is a basin surrounded by mountains, at worst, it is a bottomless cauldron, and there are six or seven hungry Yamagatamen around the pot, all staring at the fat in the pot!

This kind of sinister feng shui is not a place for people to go in at all, and whoever goes in will become fat.

At that time, the little devil ignored the advice of the Japanese onmyoji and had to build a fortress on the slopes of the mountains on all sides.

What was the result, more than 1,000 people went in, and in the end, all of them were stewed inside, and none of them came out.

Although there is no lack of Xuan, Tao, and Buddha here, who can deny that Feng Shui has played a decisive role.

Just as I was thinking about it, Xie Zhijian came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Brother Yang, I'll see you later." ”

"Director Xie, let's talk about the ugly things ahead, if you want to enter Madaling, you can listen to me, otherwise something will happen, don't blame me for not reminding everyone in advance."

Xie Zhijian took off his hat, stroked his big back, and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." In fact, we can't help it, if we don't take advantage of the withering grass to shoot, and wait for the grass to grow crazy in the summer, we will cover everything underneath. ”

I glanced at him with my eyes, he used "everything" well, and the wild growth of plants and trees can cover up more than just ruins.

He made eye contact with me, his expression looked a little strange, and when he was about to say something, Dongfang Hong came over and said with a haha: "The task sent by Taili, no matter how hard and difficult it is, you have to carry it out, Xiao Xie, you are the leader, you are not allowed to complain!" ”

Xie Zhijian's face changed again, and he didn't say anything more, only smiled: "What the old man taught him is." ”

The two turned to leave, but I stared at Dongfang Hong's slightly rickety back from behind.

Before, I wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with what he said, but after last night's events, I really have to weigh this old man again. Not to mention anything else, after climbing the mountain for more than half an hour, the young people are tired, he, a man in his seventies and eighties, actually has the spirit to teach Xie Zhijian a lesson, which is inevitably a bit evil.

Being in the ice and snow, it is not possible to rest for a long time, and after taking a slight breath, a group of thirteen people, including me and Yangshu, set off again, along the southern slope of the inner basin, where the snow is thin, towards the entrance of the fortress in the depths of the Madaling.

This time I kept an eye on it, I opened the way in front and let the poplar go to the back of the hall at the end of the line, so that even if there was any movement in the team behind me, I could get the poplar's warning as soon as possible.

But until 10 a.m., when he arrived at the entrance of the fortress, he didn't find anything unusual.

Although the Madaling Fortress is undeveloped, it has also been preliminarily surveyed, and there are three known entrances, two of which are shaft-type, which can only be penetrated by hanging ropes for more than ten meters, and what I brought them here is the only open opening that can be entered without the help of any tools.

It is said to be the entrance of the cave, but it is not wide, both sides and the roof of the cave are huge granite, and there is only a cement tunnel in the middle that can accommodate two people to lead to the inside of the fortress, narrow and dim, and the four walls are covered with thick frost, and the cold is pressing.

I led the way in front, and the two cameras were already turned on in the back, the lighting team followed, and the hostess explained and began to shoot.

The triple chemical defense gates, lookout ports, dark sentry positions, and shooting holes in the fortress are presented in the camera one after another.

Walking and stopping, before you know it, you have gone deep into the cave for nearly 100 meters, turned a corner, and a fork in the road appeared.

At this time, the four walls were already angular bare rock, and the sky light from the entrance of the cave did not reach here at all, and the cave was completely dark, and the temperature was a little higher than the entrance of the cave, and dew began to appear on the walls, and the moisture was shining.

Because the lighting didn't keep up, the hostess stopped at the fork in the road, and then someone turned on the bright lights.

But at the moment when the bright light came on, the hostess suddenly screamed.

I hurriedly turned my head when I heard the movement, and saw the roof of the cave above the hostess, and a pile of rubble fell in a hurry, and a burst of dust flew up, which scared the hostess into the cameraman's arms and almost knocked the camera off.

"Stop shouting, it's really collapsed." I hurried to stop her.

Only then did she close her mouth, I glanced at everyone, saw that they were all right, and felt a little relieved: "Everyone be careful, this fortress has not been maintained for decades, the rocks are loose, and a landslide may occur at any time." For the sake of safety, it is best not to shout loudly, let alone bump into each other. ”

The hostess was embarrassed by what I said, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I was not mentally prepared just now, I scared everyone." ”

Xie Zhijian waved his hand: "It's okay Yujia, you come here, shoot this communication room first." Brother Yang, go and see if the collapse of that place is serious, will it affect the next shooting. ”

Everyone walked in to take pictures, and I went back to check.

I saw that there was a slight crack in the roof of the cave directly above the fork in the road, which would not cause a large-scale collapse. I breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around to say something to Xie Zhijian, when I heard a low sigh from the fork in the road on the left.

Although I didn't use the word trick, I could still hear the movement of dozens of meters around.

The voice was clearly a man sighing, and the tone was full of bitterness and unwillingness.

But when I looked at it, I didn't see half a figure in the fork in the road, except for a few stone rooms without doors.

I stopped and glanced at the group that was already walking inside, including me, there were exactly thirteen people, and there was no shortage of one.

Who is the one who sighs?

I don't dare to be careless, because this is the Madaling Fortress.

I glanced at the poplar tree and told him to keep an eye on the procession, and I felt the three-edged thorn in my hand and walked slowly into the fork in the road.

This fork in the road is a dead end, about 20 meters long, in the shape of a non-zigzag, in the middle is a road, and there are stone chambers on the left and right.

Even though there was no lighting, this level of darkness was not a problem for me, as I could see the bottom of the stone chamber at a glance from the doorway, and there was nothing but a bare stone bed, which was an ordinary cantonment room.

I walked slowly, and soon came to the end of the fork in the road, where only the last two stone chambers remained.

If there was an alien, it must be in these two stone chambers, I raised my guard and slowly walked towards the door.
