Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 74: Natural Tape
The bloated bandit's sudden turn of head scared me so much that I almost slipped off my feet and fell into the dark abyss from the bloody tree, but the ghost came to my aid.
When the bandit spotted us behind it, he quickly turned around and turned his face directly at us, and to my surprise it moved as freely as if it were flat ground on the round tree. Just as the bandit turned around, the ghost behind me had already opened the safety bolt of the MP18, and as soon as he was loaded, he aimed at the bandit in this lizard-like posture, and I stopped him in time before the ghost could shoot, "Lao Wang!" Calm down! Don't waste bullets, let's see. ”
Since the mutated bandits didn't make any moves, the ghost didn't shoot, just aimed at it, as long as it dared to have any bad intentions, it would be killed with one shot, and I continued to watch its every move with a wolf's eye flashlight, the mutated bandit is now bloated to the point that he has no human form, the whole back is bulging, the originally dry hands and feet are like a water-filled balloon, round, and its mouth is still dripping with milky white juice, I was shocked, these juices are the venom that seals the throat with blood, The mutated bandit swung outward, his whole body was attached to the body of the tree, his head was tilted, his neck was crooked, he just didn't move, staring at me, watching the bandit look at me like this in this position, and he didn't do anything, but it made me feel uneasy, and I didn't know what it wanted to do. But I know that it must be a bad person, or it just hasn't figured out what to do with us, or maybe it doesn't know what we are, so it doesn't dare to act rashly for a while.
After a stalemate of about ten seconds, the ghost asked me, "Alas! Wang, what the hell do you think this thing is? Is it still the dry corpse just now? Why did you drink the poisonous juice that sealed your throat with blood, aren't you afraid of being poisoned? ”
Seriously! I don't know what this is, but it's certain that it's not the dry corpse before, I think eighty percent should be some kind of terrible thing occupying the corpse of this bandit, but it's hard to say what it will be, after all, I'm just guessing so, and I can't know what this demon in front of me is. Let's call it "bandit corpse" first, but I didn't tell the ghost what I thought, because there was no time, and just as the ghost spoke, the bandit corpse had already swung its round limbs, like a crazy human skin lizard crawling towards us, it moved quite freely on this round tree, it was as easy as walking on the ground, and the speed was so fast that the ghost didn't react for a while, but fortunately, it had just run less than two meters, and the ghost had already pulled the trigger," "A few shots are waiting for it."
Under the light pillar of the flashlight, I clearly saw that the eyebrows of the bandit's corpse were pierced by bullets, and the bandit corpse who was shot was stunned for a few seconds, but there was no change in the expression, it was still a numb and sluggish expression, the expression was like a white mask, mysterious and weird, the bullet didn't seem to have any effect on it, it was stunned for a few seconds, and then continued to rush towards us non-stop.
Immediately, I pulled out the Qiankun knife from my waist and slashed, this knife really cut on the shoulder blades of the bandit's corpse, but still couldn't stop its rampage momentum, the bandit's front limbs lifted, it overwhelmed us, and pressed me under him, at this moment, its shoulder blade was broken by my Qiankun knife The knife slowly flowed out some milky white juice out, it was the poisonous juice that saw the blood seal the throat! The poisonous juice is pulling into a long filament, drooping towards my nose and mouth, I know that if I let these poisonous juices drip into my mouth, then I will definitely die, I want to hide, but I am pressed by the bloated and huge body of the bandit's corpse There is no way to dodge, and thanks to being held by Lan Xin and Professor Ouyang, the ghost who did not fall immediately used the MP18 gun to drag and slammed into the expressionless face of the bandit's dry corpse, so that its upper body was deviated, and the poisonous juice that sealed the throat of blood did not drip into my mouth, and I also saw the opportunity to act, taking advantage of the bandit's upper body to deviate, and immediately decided, immediately supported its body with both hands, and then kicked up with both feet at the same time, before it kicked it from my body to the abyss under the body of the bloody throat tree, but because of my excessive force on this foot, my whole body also rolled down when the body of the bandit dried corpse fell down.
"Wang! …… Wu Nian: "At this time, the ghost and Lan Xin called out my nickname and name respectively, and the ghost also reached out to grab me, but it was too late, I just touched him lightly with my fingers, and I fell vertically.
It seems that this time it is the will of God, and the sky is going to die, and Wu Nian can't do it? At this moment, a slender figure suddenly jumped down and hugged me, it was Lan Xin! This was unexpected, I subconsciously wanted to push her away, but there was no hurry, she was already holding me tightly, even if I pushed away, everything was a foregone conclusion.
My mind flashed through a thousand threads, and I thought to myself, why is this so painful? Silly Lanxin! You really don't deserve to treat me like this, and suddenly there was a shock on my back, as if ...... It seems to be the end, but my body can still feel bursts of pain, could it be that I am not dead? Just when I was still confused, I heard "Wang! Lanxin, how are you all? Didn't fall painfully, did you? "It's a ghost's voice.
I fixed my eyes on the direction of the sound and glanced at it, only to see three flashlight pillars facing me and Lan Xin, see that the distance is no more than four meters away, just when I was still confused, I can't touch the north, Xiao Kai has already shot a flare, with a long sound of "boom", a bright white flare drew a white light, rising to the top of the cave, suddenly our line of sight was illuminated by the flare as bright as day, through the flare I know that we have now walked to the edge of the abyss, And there is a protruding rock formation at the edge of the abyss that looks like it has cracked from the ground, and it just so happens that Lan Xin and I fell on top of this rock formation, which is really lucky, if we deviate the most, it is an unfathomable abyss.
At this time, I saw that Lan Xin's eyes seemed to have a little tear hanging on the corner, flickering in the white light of the flare, and she stared at me with a look that I couldn't guess, this kind of look seemed to contain reluctance and happiness, but we didn't communicate, just looked at each other's eyes.
With the help of the ghosts, Lan Xin and I climbed up the thick tree again, and walked in one breath, and when we reached the root of the tree, we realized that the reason why it grew at an angle of twenty degrees was because it didn't know why, it was knocked down by some kind of huge impact, but it didn't completely collapse, just fell into a twenty-degree angle, forming a tree bridge that cracked the ground.
This can be explained by its roots that are half in the soil and half exposed, and the puzzle is how there is a thick layer of soil deep underground. And seeing that the soil is obviously not one with the environment, in order to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, we threw a few cold fireworks to light up the surroundings.
Professor Ouyang squatted down, scooped up a piece of soil on the ground with a sapper shovel, and then grabbed a handful in the palm of his hand, rubbed it, and sniffed it between his nose, then frowned slightly, threw away the broken soil in the palm of his hand, clapped his hands and muttered, "It's weird!" It's weird. ”
"Professor! What's weird? Is there anything wrong with this soil? Xiao Kai asked the professor puzzled, and the professor replied, "This soil is not underground, but the surface layer of soil." ”
"Does it make a difference?" Xiao Kai still asked with a puzzled expression.
"Of course there is a difference!" Professor Ouyang said and stood up, "The earth's soil layer can be divided into the surface layer and the inner layer, the general surface layer of the soil has an umami smell, just like the fresh smell of forest plants in the early heavy rain, and the inner layer of soil can not receive sunlight for many years, and it is in the dark, and you can feel the moisture around here, then the inner layer of soil in this environment should have a fishy smell, which is why we have been archaeology and tomb robbers for many years. Professor Ouyang glanced at me when he said this, smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Hehe! When I first met Brother Wu Nian before, it was because I felt that he and Brother Xu Wenming also had a faint smell of earth, so I doubted their identities, so I didn't have a very good attitude towards them, alas! I'm ashamed, I'm old, and I still spend Wu Nian's belly with the heart of a villain, you're a gentleman, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. ”
I hurriedly replied, "Professor, I understand a little bit of the hatred of tomb robbers by people of your status, so you are not wrong." As he spoke, he got back to business and asked, "Professor!" Do you mean that the layer of soil that provides the nutrients to the bloody throat is the top layer of soil on this cave? ”
"Hmmm! Indeed it is! Professor Ouyang nodded, and then continued, "I guess this bloody throat should have come to this underground from the surface layer with this soil. As he spoke, he used the wolf's eye flashlight to match the cold fireworks we had just thrown, and carefully observed the surroundings.
Now we are in a place that says it is a karst landform cave is not like, its area is now we with the naked eye and the existing light source can not be determined, but it is undoubtedly unfathomable, and the scene we see in the range of our eyes is also very peculiar, with this surprisingly large blood-sealing throat as the main line, it connects the two ends of the ground crack, one end is the hole we have just come down from the gourd hole, and the other end is where we are now, where we are now there is a layer of faulted soil, and there are uneven around, Scattered greenery, and some rock formations unique to karst landscapes.
Just when we were looking around, suddenly at this time, a cool breeze blowing overhead, everyone was attracted by this bizarre wind, and at the same time the flashlight shone upward, which did not look at it, and was startled at a glance, it turned out that the top of our head was not a complete cave roof, it was formed by two huge blocks supporting each other, and what was even more amazing was that the two sections of the cave top were not only not bare rock layers, on the contrary, it was covered with green and moist green vegetation, Earlier, we saw that the green vegetation entangled with the leaves of the bloody throat was grown from the roof of this gourd cave!
Professor Ouyang was excited when he saw this scene, and said to Xiao Kai a little uncontrollably, "Xiao ...... Kai! Hurry! Copy all of this, this ...... It's incredible. How can there be such a fantastic place in the world? Could it be the hand of God? ”
I was also moved by it at first, and almost thought it was some kind of human god realm or something, but after a careful observation, I suddenly remembered that I found the elements and coffins of the Yuan Dynasty in the tomb of Nanzhao two years ago, it was because of the earthquake zone of the Wenchuan * earthquake that was painful for the people in 08, it was ......! No! That is, it seems that the Wenchuan * earthquake created this strange scene in front of me, it should be the earthquake zone that affected here, causing the mountain here to crack, that is, the crack I almost fell into just now, and the crack of the ground crack implicated the layer on the surface, causing the layer to collapse, but it did not completely collapse, just forming the scenery of the top of the cave that we see now, including this bloody throat and these soil layers that do not belong to this underground karst cave are brought down due to the collapse of the surface layer.
I told Professor Ouyang about my guesses and reasoning, and Professor Ouyang took a closer look, thought about it, and said, "Hmm! It's all possible that it's what Brother Wu Nian said, hey! I really didn't expect Brother Wu Nian to be so meticulous in your observation ability, I'm ashamed of myself! Professor Ouyang said, suddenly looking at me with strange eyes, "That! That one! I have an idea, but I don't know what you think, Wu Nian? ”
I should say, "Professor, please, but it doesn't hurt to say!" ”
"Good! Good! Then I'll be blunt, I think you're particularly suitable for archaeology, I want to ......" Before the professor could finish speaking, I immediately interrupted him and said, "Professor, don't think about it, I never thought about it." ”
"Nope! Brother Wu Nian, listen to me! I have been engaged in archaeology for most of my life in the hope that those dusted civilizations can see the light of day and let the current human beings better understand the past, but now I have reached the end of my life, and I don't know how long this old bone can last, I hope that I can bring out a successor in my life, so I hope you will think about it! Brother Wu Nian! Professor Ouyang said to me in a pleading tone.
Just when I didn't know how to refuse, a gust of wind relieved me, and the wind was still blowing overhead, and it blew intermittently in the direction of the gourd cave where we had just come, and the sound of the wind was very strange, not like the kind of wind we usually heard.
Xiao Kai said to everyone, "Alas! Listen! Isn't this a strange rumor? It's similar to the weird sound we just heard in the gourd cave, isn't it? ”
Professor Ouyang listened carefully again, looked at the surrounding structures again, and suddenly said, "It's the strange sounds we just heard." Listening to the meaning of his words, he must have seen the "suspicion" in this, Professor Ouyang took a wolf-eyed flashlight to the top of our heads, then pushed his glasses, and shone the flashlight around, and after completing these actions, he spoke, "You come and see!" The wind blows from the seam of the two sections above the head, the air inlet is very thin, just a few cracks, these cracks are very regular, the wind changes the sound here, and then hovers in the space where we are now, and then blows out of the horn hole we just climbed in, I don't know if you have noticed, the hole of the horn hole we climbed in just now has striped grooves of different shades, and those grooves are like the lines on the disk of the gramophone, and when the wind blows through the grooves, it will produce another strange sound, And the sound that is rubbed by the strength of the wind is different, in fact, this principle is similar to the principle of the phonograph. ”
In this way, the strange sound we heard before was actually not a sound from the underworld, but a special sound effect produced when this special structure of the cave rubbed against the wind, to put it bluntly, it was like a natural disk, which changed the sound with the change of the size of the wind, and we were haunted by our hearts, and when we saw those bandits who died strangely, we had preconceived inertial thoughts, so it affected our hearing.
This phenomenon is not the first time in Sichuan, there is a similar program on a secret channel before, in a cave in Sichuan often hear the sound of a baby crying, ghosts crying wolves and the like, several farmers boldly went into once, found that the hole is unfathomable, and the fork in the hole, they found that there are unusually large insects in the depths of the cave, those farmers dare not explore further, since then the locals call it the ghost cave, and then a professional expedition team went to solve the mystery, It turns out that the size of this cave is very large, nearly half the size of the mountain, and at the end of the cave there are several bifurcated small openings, whenever the wind blows in from the small hole, the fork in the cave circles and rubs, so the original single wind sound is changed.
Just as I was about to share this phenomenon with everyone, Lan Xin suddenly interrupted me, and she looked behind me with a flashlight, and said, "Look at that! ”
