Chapter 69: A sneer from the depths of the cave
This rock wall is not small, but it is only a few thousand square meters, and more than 30 people quickly searched it very carefully, and only found this one hole.
Zhang Kailong squatted down, looked around the entrance of the cave, touched the wall of the cave again, and asserted: "It should be here!" ”
He said yes, I naturally don't doubt that with these days of getting along, Zhang Kailong and I not only have a tacit understanding with each other, but also a kind of trust, he believes in my Taoist ability, and I also believe in his investigation ability as a special policeman.
I offered to be the first to go into the hole, but Zhang Kailong refused.
"I'm the captain and the person in charge of this mission, so I should be the leader!" He pulled me aside, pulled out his gun, and was the first to get into the hole. I thought to myself: There may not be people in this cave, and the pistol may not be easy to use! He followed, and the second one went into the hole.
I thought I was going to curl up and crawl for a while, but I just entered the cave five or six meters, and suddenly my eyes suddenly opened up, as if it was a cave more than two meters high and at least three meters wide.
At my feet is a blue-brown stone road, which is artificially paved at first glance, and there are mural carvings faintly visible on this rock wall, although it is very unclear, but after just one glance, I can see that this is the unique totem of the river god.
Seeing the river god totem, I instantly thought of my previous experience and the things that antique Li said, and said in my heart: Could this also be a hiding place for the river god? Just thinking about it, with a "bang", my whole body hit Zhang Kailong's back.
"What's wrong? Brother Long! ”
"Front...... Is there a person lying in front of you? ”
Zhang Kailong turned to the side and pointed to a raised stone in front of him and asked me.
My eyesight was much better than his, and I recognized it at a moment, it was not only a person, but it was most likely an old man who left for the first time last night.
If it's the old man, that's a person, it's better to be a person than not a person, thinking so, I squeezed past Zhang Kailong and walked over. I don't know where I got the courage at that time, maybe it was because I always followed the SWAT during this time, and subtly, I became bolder.
The man was lying on his stomach, his face crooked, and he was leaning inward, looking at his hair and clothes, and he should have been the mysterious old man from last night.
After hesitating for a moment, I still had the courage to crouch down and turn the old man's body over.
No way! When I saw the old man's face, I was so shocked that I almost jumped up. This person turned out to be Chen Laosan, the old man who ran the boat he met in Ningxia before.
I was shocked at first, and I was also stunned, Ningxia is tens of thousands of miles away from here, how could he appear here? Thinking of what he saw last night, could it be that Chen Laosan was also following this corpse puppet?
The task force has a special police doctor, and as soon as Zhang Kailong heard that I knew this unconscious old man, he quickly called the police doctor.
"It looks like I've been drugged!"
After a brief examination, the police doctor replied.
I said in my heart: Where did the drug come from in this wilderness, it is better to kill him directly if you have this kung fu.
"The Yellow River Daojing" has a kind of technique similar to "point acupoints" and "solve acupoints", as long as you silently recite the corresponding Taoist mantra on the forehead, just look at Chen Laosan's sleepy appearance, I faintly feel that it is likely to be under the Tao.
I tried it according to the method in the Taoist scriptures, but Chen Laosan was still unconscious.
At that time, the environment was special, and the time was very urgent, and we were not allowed to delay for too long, Zhang Kailong and I had a brief discussion, and asked a special police officer to carry Chen Laosan on his back, and the group continued to walk inside.
We all know that Chen Laosan couldn't have fainted by himself, on the contrary, seeing him fainting in this cave, everyone's hearts just relaxed and immediately tensed.
Zhang Kailong and I followed one after the other, and the others followed closely, and the group continued to walk towards the depths of the cave.
Looking at the cliff exposed outside, it is not too big, at best it can be considered a small hill, I originally thought that the cave inside would not be too deep, who knows that after ten minutes of walking, I still can't see the end.
The more you go inside, the more nervous everyone's hearts become, even if it is Zhang Kailong, his face is already full of sweat.
Tired of walking, I accidentally looked up, and suddenly saw several grooves in the top of the cave wall, and in the grooves a weathered skeleton was tied with a metal chain. Look in again, oh my God! There were two rows of such grooves, stretching to the end of the darkness, and in each groove was a skeleton strapped.
This pattern is the same as what I saw in the cave of Helan Mountain before, and Antique Li said that this is a sign of the hiding place of the river god! Seeing the grooves where the skeletons were bound, I could already conclude that this cave must have been one of the hiding places of the river god.
Everyone else's attention was ahead, and when we walked here, it was already pitch black, and except for the halo of the only seven or eight flashlights in our hands, we couldn't see our fingers anywhere. Afraid that they would be afraid, I didn't say anything about the grooved skeleton on the top of my head, but I also whispered to remind Zhang Kailong that the things in this cave were afraid of being extremely dangerous, so let him be careful.
After walking for a few more minutes, Zhang Kailong suddenly tripped over something and stumbled a few steps before he didn't fall.
He hurriedly turned around and shone his flashlight on the ground, and in the yellowing halo, I saw a huge skeleton lying across the ground, two and a half meters long, with a skull head like a giant pumpkin.
At that time, everyone who saw this skeleton was shocked, Zhang Kailong's flashlight almost fell off, and he took a few steps back to stabilize it.
"My mother! Is this a person? ”
A policeman behind me said in horror.
Everyone didn't dare to approach at first, but they just shone the skeleton with a flashlight from a distance, but after all, they were all experienced special police, and found that this was just a skeleton that couldn't move, except for the super large body, there was nothing to fear, and slowly driven by curiosity, they all leaned up.
"This may be the river god who has been poisoned!"
I explain it to everyone.
It doesn't matter if you don't explain, this explanation, everyone's curiosity is heavier, and they have asked me about the river god.
At that time, my head was also short-circuited, and I watched a group of skilled SWAT officers surround me, looking at me with expectant eyes, and my sense of presence suddenly exploded! I was about to explain when I heard several sounds similar to sneers coming from inside the cave.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"
Suddenly, everyone suddenly fell silent, and seven or eight flashlights shone into the cave in unison.
As soon as I took a look, I realized that the cave was at the end of the cave, and in front of it was a circular hall, and we were facing a black-gray stone wall, and I couldn't tell whether it was natural or artificial. There is a stone door on each side of the stone wall, which looks quaint and exquisite.
How can there be a stone gate here? At that time, everyone was stunned, because when they arrived here, it was obvious that it was already a masterpiece of mankind.
Come to think of it, the position we are in now should be dozens of meters below the ground, and it is the Yellow River flowing eastward above our heads.
The sound must have come from behind one of the doors.
