Chapter Thirty-Four: The Lost Soul, the Lost Slope, and the Secret of Wu City
While I was sleepwalking, I saw the rescuers' tents. Then, I drew the location of that tent on the sand.
At this moment, my heart was scared and excited.
The fear is because I'm sleepwalking again, and I'm sleepwalking to see them, I don't understand what logic this is, maybe physics after 1000 years can explain it.
The excitement is that the rescuers are still here and have not left. I suddenly felt no longer alone.
I walked briskly back to my tent.
I'm going to sleep first, and when it's dawn, I'll let you know the news. Next, when we use our phones to look for their images, we have an accurate range.
As I approached the tent, I suddenly stopped, and I saw a dark shadow, which flashed silently, and immediately hid in the dark shadow of the tent in the monsoon.
I walked into the tent gently, felt the flashlight, and suddenly shone towards the tent in the monsoon.
No one.
I took another picture of the tent in Baisha, but it was too far away to see clearly.
I slowly walked towards the monsoon tent. The tent has screens, and in order not to disturb the monsoon and to make Fox Mountain rest, my flashlight has been shining vertically on the ground. I looked around the tent and walked around, but I still didn't see anyone.
Bai Sha is catching cats with me.
Although he can do it silently, it is a pity that he can't fly.
I saw the footprints, and I circled around the tent, which were shallower than mine, but very clear.
I stopped, and suddenly walked in the opposite direction, still no one in sight, but the shallow footprints on the ground also reversed.
I'm worried, did he kill Linghu Mountain?
Does Monsoon sleep so dead?
Will he kill Monsoon, too?
I stopped again and whispered to the other side of the tent, "Baisha, you come out." ”
No one answered.
Linghushan spoke in the tent: "Who! ”
I said, "Linghu Mountain, it's me." ”
A few seconds later, Ling Hushan also turned on the flashlight, walked out, and shone a picture at me.
Monsoon also woke up, and she said, "What's wrong?" ”
I said, "It's okay, I'll make a round." ”
Monsoon said, "It's almost dawn, so you can sleep too." ”
I said, "Since you are all awake, let me sleep in your tents, so as not to wake them up." ”
Monsoon said, "Come on." ”
I walked into their tent in the monsoon. I noticed that there were three sleeping bags in the tent, Monsoon and Linghu Mountain were sleeping in the sleeping bags on each side, and the middle one was empty.
I fastened the curtain, then slipped into the middle sleeping bag, lay down, and turned off the flashlight.
Ji Feng asked in a low voice, "Boss Zhou, did you see anything?" ”
I said, "No, I just can't sleep, look around." ”
Monsoon continued to whisper, "I hid that bag of gold. ”
I said, "Okay, the wall has ears." ”
Monsoon said no more.
I know that White Sands should still be outside the tent.
I kept my eyes open in the dark and didn't dare to sleep.
Outside, there was no sound except the wind.
After dawn, I was the first to get up.
I walked out of the tent and looked around the tent, and saw that the shallow footprints had left, but instead of walking towards the tent of white sand, I walked towards the desert.
He's going around in circles with me.
Then I went to look at the words I had written on the sand with Juice, and the sand was flattened out and the words were gone! Only the little red flag remained, hanging its head and head drooping.
Looking around, there are still no extra footprints.
I looked up to the sky again and there was nothing.
I don't know why, but I suddenly wanted to laugh.
I didn't dare to laugh, I was afraid that I would suddenly go crazy.
I went to the car, got a sapper shovel, and then returned to the little red flag and wrote on the sand again.
This time I'm writing - who are you?
While the three women were making breakfast, I started the car and continued to charge my phone.
I walked up to An Chunhong and said to her, "Your phone needs to be charged too, right?" ”
An Chunhong said: "No, there is still electricity." ”
I said, "How long have you been using it, and still have electricity?" ”
An Chunhong said: "My mobile phone has a long waiting time. ”
I said, "Standby means that after the phone is fully charged, it will be turned on and will not do anything until it automatically shuts down." Haven't you been using it? ”
An Chunhong said: "Anyway, what I mean is to save electricity." ”
I said, "You show me." ”
An Chunhong took out the phone and handed it to me, I looked at it, and the battery was full. I don't know why, I actually remembered the flying man, if she was Bubu, then when she was alive, life was like the power of a mobile phone, which would definitely decrease day by day. However, when she dies, she suddenly becomes something else, and her battery is full forever......
An Chunhong looked at me sensitively and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I said, "Oh, it's nothing, I'll get a phone like yours when I get out." ”
While eating breakfast, I saw the figure of Bai Sha, who was walking around in his "camp" and eating.
Soon, he took refuge in a tent.
After breakfast, I took everyone to the place where I had woken up from sleepwalking last night, pointed to the square mark on the sand, and told everyone what I had experienced last night.
Everyone was stunned.
I said, "From now on, we don't need so many mobile phones, just one phone, just observe this place, run out of electricity, and then change to another one." ”
An Chunhong said: "My mobile phone has power, I'll come first." ”
I said, "No need for you." In case you see them, you can't tell us about it. You're in charge of two meals a day. ”
An Chunhong seemed a little incomprehensible, she looked at me and thought about it, and then said, "Okay." ”
Then we walked back to the tent.
Ling Hushan said: "Boss Zhou, then I'll go back." ”
I said, "Okay, ...... on the road."
Monsoon interrupted me: "Wait. ”
Ling Hushan looked at her and said, "Do you still have something?" ”
I said, "I'd like to talk to you again." ”
Linghushan said: "For example? ”
Monsoon said, "What do you know about the Lost Soul Land, the Mourning Slope, and that Wu City?" ”
Ling Hushan shook his head and said, "Not much." ”
Monsoon said, "Say as much as you want." ”
The phone is charging.
After returning to the tent, Linghushan told us everything he knew.
Actually, ecstasy is what we call it.
Humanoids call it a barrier.
It is this barrier that keeps the humanoids better hidden, and even if someone discovers their existence, it is impossible to get out.
Humanoid ancestors have lived here for generations, witnessing how it has transformed from a vast lake to a bare barren land. Since all green life has been extinct, the place has become a strange place.
For example, Ecstasy.
After the ancestors of the humanoids first discovered that Lop Nur had become a huge labyrinth, they were also terrified, and if they couldn't get out, it would indicate that their race would face extinction.
Earlier, they would occasionally leave Lop Nur and approach cities or villages. They are like a neighbor of humans, always hiding in the shadows, always watching and controlling every move of humans.
One day, the humanoid ancestors were about to leave Lop Nur when they suddenly found themselves lost.
Humanoids have always relied on the oldest method of referencing the Big Dipper, but they have been walking towards the Big Dipper, but they have returned to the original point again and again.
Little by little, they found out that the Big Dipper was moving!
If the Big Dipper runs to the south, then it can still be used as a signpost, as long as you go in the opposite direction. The ancestors of the humanoids gradually discovered that this was not the case, the sky and the earth were like two discs, turning counterclockwise from time to time, and there was no regularity.
Later, after generations of exploration, they discovered a mysterious passage under the tomb of the sun.
After groping again and again, they learned that there was only one way to the outside world.
After Linghushan finished speaking, I said to him, "If we can leave, I promise to keep my mouth shut about you." ”
Ling Hushan said: "No, you are a writer, you will definitely write it into a novel." ”
I said, "Well, I can't promise it...... But I can guarantee that you don't take it seriously, you just read it as a novel. ”
Ling Hushan said, "Maybe." ”
Then, Linghushan talked about the Mournful Slope again.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Lop Nur changed from a large lake of 200,000 square kilometers to a small lake with only "80 or 90 li long from east to west, and 23 li or 12 li wide from north to south". However, at that time, there were still many residents in the Lop Nur area, mostly Uyghurs, who lived by Xiaohaizi on the banks of the Tarim River, "not growing grains, not grazing livestock, and only fishing in small boats for food." They drink Luobu hemp tea, wear Luobu linen clothes, and most of them live a long life.
At that time, the area around the Mourning Slope had become a desert.
Occasionally, in the dead of night, or during thunderstorms, terrible noises can be heard in that area, and some people have seen terrifying strange shadows.
What exactly did they hear? What did you see?
There are different accounts, some people hear the trampling of countless horses' hooves, the frightened neighing of war horses; What was heard was the tearing and screaming of soldiers, and the crash of cold weapons; Some people hear the sound of festive gongs and drums; Someone heard the cries of the funeral......
Generally speaking, thin people hear loud voices, while strong people hear small sounds.
What is even more strange is that as long as someone leads an animal through that area, the animal must be frightened and die soon after returning home.
Gradually, the locals easily did not leave there and gave it the name "Mourning Slope". It has become more desolate and more eerie.
In the middle of the night one day, there was a sandstorm, and an old Hui man hurried overnight, lost his way, and broke into the strange and frightened slope. On the desert where no grass grows, flying sand and rocks, a group of soldiers and horses appeared, about five or six people, they wore golden helmets and golden armor, held cold and shining spears, and walked from afar, very much like the victorious soldiers (soldiers) of the ancient country of Yanqi, the ancient European race. One of them seems to be a general, riding an Akhal-Teke horse. The wind was so strong that the horses had a hard time.
The old Hui man was stunned: "Allah ......"
The victorious soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the old man even saw that one of the soldiers seemed to have been wounded in the fight, and his face was red and bloody. At the same time, he also heard the sound of the war horse's snort and the sound of the bell shaking......
The men seemed to see him, too, and the horses suddenly raised their front hooves and neighed long. In the blink of an eye, those soldiers disappeared little by little in the wind and sand......
The scene lasted half a minute.
I said: "I have seen a report about a place in Yunnan that the locals call 'Xuezhan Gou', which is very similar to the situation in the Mourning Slope. Geologists have examined the soil in that area and found that it contains a lot of silicon and magnetite. Experts believe that certain soils and rocks are like tape recorders and video recorders that can replay some sounds and scenes from the past. Thus, the possibility of mirages, collective hallucinations, infrasound, and other natural sounds is ruled out, and the conclusion is that the natural holographic audio and video recorder. ”
Monsoon said: "That is, it is caused by geological and atmospheric factors?" ”
I said, "Theoretically, that's true, but the mechanism is very profound. In ancient times, there were a large number of records of strange and strange events. According to this statement, then, what the old Hui man saw was a group of dead ancient soldiers, thousands of years ago, he had walked through this valley, maybe he was rushing to the battlefield, maybe he had just retreated from defeat. What he saw was nothing but an ancient illusion, in the same space, in different times. ”
Monsoon asked me, "But why do people kill each other when they get to the Slope of Fear?" ”
I said, "Genes, they'll be passed down from generation to generation." ”
Ji Feng said: "Boss Zhou, your explanation is too literary. ”
Then, Linghushan talked about Wucheng again.
At the time, he really thought we had gone out, or he wouldn't have gone underground.
Later, when we returned to Lop Nur, he learned that Wu Cheng was just an illusion.
He said: There is indeed more than one sun tomb on Lop Nur, and there is a passage under each sun tomb. Their ancestors had many adventures when they explored those passages......
Monsoon and I chose the passage with the word "between" inscribed, and we returned to the Sun Tomb. Bibi chose the passage with the word "smell" engraved on it, and he arrived on Easter Island. Little 5 and his father chose the passage with the word "ask" engraved on it, and they ended up in Bermuda......
I immediately asked Linghushan: "Where will the passage engraved with the word 'boring' lead?" ”
Linghushan said: "The past life and the previous life. ”
I was surprised: "What about the passage engraved with 'Min'?" ”
Linghushan said: "Fairy tale world. ”
