Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 66: Ghost Howl

I was the last of them to enter the canyon.

The canyon crack in front of me, when I first entered, the width of the entrance could only accommodate one person to enter, and I had to turn sideways to pass through completely. But when you cross four or five meters horizontally, there is a different scene inside, and the space suddenly becomes clear!

Yiyi and the fat man were right in front of me, Xiaoqian and Yiyi were side by side, looking back at me from time to time.

The fat man pointed the beam of the flashlight at me in front of him for a moment, and then shouted at me: "Xiao Su, are you fucking afraid, why are you chirping, grinding!"

By the light of the fat man's flashlight, I saw that Yiyi in front of me also cast an inquiring glance at me. Probably worried that I hadn't come out of the state when I saw my father's shadow, he asked me, "It's okay, Su Mo, do you want to rest for a while?"

I shook my head at her, and was about to say something, when suddenly the words came to my mouth and swallowed! It wasn't that I took the initiative to stop expressing, but I was choked back by the abrupt sound of a voice!

Not far in front of us, there were suddenly countless wails and roars! The voice screamed terrible! All of a sudden, my originally calm emotions were driven to nervousness!

And what made me feel even more creepy was that the sound was constantly approaching our team from far and near!

At the same time, I could clearly feel the crack directly above my head, and the howl of the wind became clearer! It was as if these terrible ghosts were approaching us, carrying the wind, rushing towards us!

The moment the ghost scream appeared, I immediately reached out and grabbed Yiyi and pulled her into my arms, which was my subconscious move. I could clearly feel the snugglers in my arms, and my body trembled a little! In fact, not only was she trembling, but even I was starting to tremble! Xiao Qian was in front of my side, and after the voice appeared, she still looked ahead as if she didn't hear it. I reached out and pulled her to my side.

Although the fat man did not tremble like us, he was also frightened, and shouted at the front: "Damn! What the hell! On the other hand, his body kept retreating.

His shouts were loud at decibels, but they were quickly drowned out by the approaching howls of ghosts!

All of us were startled by the sudden ghost cry and all stopped moving. But when we stopped, the wailing ghost cries and cries disappeared!

The people who entered this canyon together this time, roughly counting, there were less than twenty people, including me, the fat man and Yiyi. After passing through a line of sky, the canyon is wide enough to accommodate four people side by side. After the sound appeared, we all subconsciously stepped back, and very tacitly crowded the four positions side by side. It wasn't until my back reached the first line of heaven that I had to lean sideways to continue backing down, and everyone stopped

down.

Actually, it wasn't my sudden stop that made us stop retreating, but the reason why the sound of the ghost crying and screaming disappeared!

Sister Ning was at the front of the line, and as her flashlight moved forward, Xiaodou and the others behind her all shone their flashlights towards the depths of the canyon. And soon they all became calm, and spread out to present a vigilant position.

The fat man and I tacitly took out the pistol that Sister Ning gave us, pulled the bolt, and then followed them, raised the flashlight and shone it into the depths of the canyon!

Under the strong light of more than a dozen flashlights, our road ahead is like daylight. The shape of the canyons and hills on both sides is irregular, and under the light, it is even more dark.

I had expected that after all of us had passed the flashlight beams, we would see some terrifying creature appear in the place where the howl had just disappeared!

What puzzled everyone was that under the light of the flashlight, there was not even a shadow in front of us, except for those daunting-looking canyon cliffs!

The fat man was bold, and he saw a lot of strange things, so he separated the crowd and walked to the front of the line to stand side by side with Sister Ning.

I shone it left and right with a flashlight, and then looked up at the top of my head. said: "That, don't be afraid, everyone." It seems that our evil spirit is too heavy, and those lonely ghosts are frightened away after seeing us! ”

Following the light of his flashlight, I also looked up. There was only a narrow slit above our heads, as if the ground had suddenly cracked. Through this gap, you can suddenly see the starry night sky.

"I know what's going on!"

I was looking at it intently, and Yiyi in front of me suddenly spoke.

"Senior sister, have you seen these little ghosts?" The fat man leaned over and asked Yiyi.

Yiyi didn't pay attention to her, but pointed to the top of our heads, and said, "The voice just now is not a real ghost scream at all, but this wind sound!"

Seeing that we were all looking at her suspiciously, she continued: "Have you heard of "Wuerhe Wind City"? ”

"You're talking about "Devil's Town"? ”

Yiyi nodded at Sister Ning. As soon as the fat man heard the words "Devil's City", he immediately patted his thigh and shouted, "Fuck! walked on the ghost door all the year round, but this little ghost dressed as a wind frightened! I touched Jin Zhang's first heroic name and almost ruined! ”

I was so confused that I asked him what Devil's Town was.

After listening to the fat man's explanation, I realized what place it was, and how the sound we just heard came about!

"Devil's City", located in the Wuerhe mining area in the lower reaches of the Jiamu River on the northwest edge of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, there is a unique wind-eroded landform area, which the local Mongols call "Surum Hak" and the Uyghurs call it "Shayi Tank".

Ersey", which means Devil's Town.

There is a magical legend about Devil's Town.

Legend has it that this was originally a majestic city, and the ancestors who lived in the city in the early days were diligent in their work and worked hard to accumulate wealth. However, as the wealth in the city gathered, and the younger generations took over the city, the good gradually receded, and evil took possession of the hearts and minds of the people. They began to become greedy, and the struggle for wealth and the jurisdiction of the city was rife with intrigue and strife, and every man's face became hideous and terrifying.

When the gods saw the city in this way, they came to the city in the form of a ragged beggar in order to arouse the good side of the people. When he met people, he said, "It was evil that made him change from a rich man to a beggar, and he must be good", but the words of the gods did not cause the people of the city to reflect, but was expelled by the people of the city. So, in a fit of rage, the gods turned the city into ruins, and all the people in the city were crushed under the ruins and all died!

From then on, every night, the spirits of the dead wailed in the castle, hoping that the gods would hear their voices of repentance and resurrect them.

Of course, this is just a legend. The real reason why there is a ghost howling sound in Devil's City is because there are many strange rocks there, and it is also a wind outlet, and there are often strong hurricanes passing through it. When the wind passes over these strange stones, the air flow like an arrow whirls between the strange stone communities, and it makes a sharp sound, like a ghost howling!

After listening to the fat man's explanation, I understood a little. Soon, though, I found the problem. The reason why there is a terrible ghost wail in the "Devil's Town" is because it is located in the wind, and there are often strong winds that pass by, which will cause that strange and frightening sound. However, although the canyon cliff in front of us is also quite peculiar in shape, this single cliff is not enough to make the wind blowing in produce the same effect as the "Devil's Town"!

After listening to my question, the fat man said to me, "Xiao Su, you have grown up, and you know how to ask questions."

I said don't be fucking poor, when is it, and in a while the scorpions will drink all the wine for you!

Actually, my question is what other people want to know. Although Yiyi knew about Devil City, after she finished speaking, like me, she felt that this explanation was still a little less critical.

On the contrary, after the fat man mentioned "Devil's City" in Yiyi, he became abrupt.

Facing the eyes of all of us, the fat man felt very enjoyed. Under Sister Ning's glare, he began to put away that unbeaten expression, and then said to us seriously: "Yiyi is right, the sound that appears here and the ghost howl that appears there in Devil City are one reason!" However, the sound we hear here is not the result of the wind in the canyon here! It's coming from within! In front of us, there must be a city similar to the "Devil's City"! ”

After the fat man finished speaking, I stand

Ke also reacted, looked at the canyon in the depths, and then said to the fat man: "The city you are talking about should be the "Inner Country" that Europa Company is looking for! ”

The fat man nodded and gave me a thumbs up.

After the fat man said this, and everyone's understanding of the origin of the name of "Devil's City", there was a scientific explanation for the ghost howl just now.

In fact, it didn't take long from the appearance and disappearance of the ghost howl to our discussion.

After Sister Ning's command was given, we began to walk towards the depths of the canyon again!

The canyon we passed, the cliffs on both sides of the cliffs were badly eroded by the wind for many years, and the shape appeared in front of my eyes, and I felt terrified when I looked at it. Coupled with the ghost howl just now, the surrounding atmosphere became even more gloomy. However, there are no longer a few of us, and most of us are strong people like fat people, which makes me feel less uncomfortable in my heart.

Humans are creatures that are probably only suitable for living in groups. That's the thought that pops into my head right now!

We walked out for about twenty minutes and suddenly there was a downward slope ahead!

And the crack in the top of the head was also closed. It's like you've arrived at the entrance to the Netherworld!
