Book 1: The Cave of the Snow Ridge Chapter 15: The Mysterious Cave Strange World
I woke up crying, and when I opened my eyes, what appeared in front of me was not the smoke and rain that I had been thinking about for a long time, but the four people of Uncle Jiu, Fatty, Xiao Jing and Lan Xin.
Where am I?
"Smoke and rain!"
"Smoke and rain!"
"Fatty, where's the smoke and rain?" I asked nervously.
The fat man and the others were confused, like a monk looking at me.
"Ngawang! What's wrong with you? Xiao Jing asked me anxiously.
I looked around and found myself lying in Xiao Jing's arms.
It turned out to be a dream.
What's wrong with me?
I learned from Xiao Jing's mouth that I was sucked yang qi by the woman in red just now, and I was greatly injured, and I was delirious, and I thought that Uncle Nine was going to kill Yanyu, so I mistakenly let the woman in red go, and then I fainted, and it was Uncle Nine who woke me up.
I slowed down from Xiao Jing's arms, barely stood up, and said to Uncle Nine and Lan Xin angrily, "Why are you two here?" ”
Lan Xin saw that I was so unkind, and became unhappy, "Why are you like this?" If it weren't for Uncle Jiu's rescue, you would all be dead, and you wouldn't even thank you. ”
"Uncle Nine saved us, I will naturally keep it in my heart, but it doesn't mean that I forgot that Yanyu was injured by you" Not only did I not thank Dade, but retorted.
"You ......" Lan Xin didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Uncle Jiu, "Lan Xin, forget it." ”
Then Uncle Nine looked at me and said, "Nephew! You've been haunted by a female ghost, so it's better to be careful in the future."
I was shocked and powerless to refute.
"Dao Chief! So what to do? Xiao Jing's tone was full of nervousness mixed with anxiety.
Uncle Nine frowned, sighed and said, "I can't think of a way to do this for a while, I think that the female ghost is too resentful, she should have died of misfortune and refused to be reincarnated, so she sucked men's yang energy, collected yang to supplement yin, and practiced ghost arts." ”
"What is ghostcraft?" Xiao Jing looked puzzled.
Uncle Nine said slowly, "According to the "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts", ghost magic is a kind of dark magic used by ghosts to improve their own abilities, and everything in the world has its own yin and yang, such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and summer, men and women, people and ghosts, etc. As far as humans and ghosts are concerned, people belong to yang, ghosts belong to yin, and ghosts absorb people's positivity through intimate contact with people, constantly fill in their own shortcomings, and strengthen themselves, so since ancient times, it has been said that people's "ghosts" are the original intention. ”
I don't care about what Uncle Nine said, I care more about who the man in black was just now, and why did he snatch my backpack? And the woman in red suddenly appeared here, is it just like Uncle Nine said, she is entangled with me? Presumably it's not that simple, there should be something strange behind this.
The top priority is to go back to the place where we set up the tent first, and come back early tomorrow morning to find Uncle Shangguan's notebook, I have already made a small calculation in my heart.
On the way back, I made a mark on the tree with a sapper shovel, so that I could recognize the road when I came back tomorrow, like this primeval forest without a guide, there must be some way to recognize the way, the easiest is to mark the tree.
When I got back to the tent, I pulled the fat man aside and said in a questioning tone, "Fatty! What's going on? ”
"What's going on?" The fat man's eyes deliberately avoided me.
"Don't pretend, you kid, did you call Uncle Nine and that little girl from Lan Xin?" I'm aggressive.
"Hey, hey!" The fat man looked embarrassed and said with a hippie smile, "Ah Wang! Don't be angry, I know that because of the smoke and rain, you have an opinion on Uncle Nine, but I'm also afraid of accidents, you see! If it weren't for Uncle Nine just now, I'm afraid we would all have died at the hands of that female ghost, so let's think it's for Xiao Jing's safety. ”
The fat man told it all, it turned out that when he went to buy equipment, he deliberately went to find Uncle Jiu, and the ninth uncle who paid for it happened to be Lan Xin's arrival, as for why Lan Xin also came, the fat man didn't know.
The fat man was afraid that he would disagree if I knew, so he let Uncle Nine and Lan Xin secretly follow us all the way, because Lan Xin was from the serious crime team, so he followed us, and I naturally didn't notice it at all.
Although I was unhappy, I couldn't refute the fat man, what he said was not unreasonable, but as compensation, I asked the fat man to accompany me into the woods just now tomorrow morning to find Uncle Shangguan's notebook, the fat man had no choice, who let him repeatedly carry me behind my back to make small moves.
The next day, the fat man and I went into the forest before Xiaojing and the others woke up, and we only brought basic self-defense tools. We walked around in the woods for about an hour, and still couldn't find the backpack I had taken from the man in black last night.
The fat man got a little impatient, sat under the tree, lit two cigarettes, one for me and one for himself, "Forget it!" I don't think I can find it, can I go back? ”
But I think the backpack should be nearby, because from the time I chased the man in black to the time he came back to attack me, it was impossible for the man in black to hide the backpack too far in such a short time, unless the man in black was not human, and I thought it was impossible, because I had fought with him, and he didn't look like a non-human creature.
And what's even stranger is that why didn't the man in black hurt Xiao Jing and just took the backpack, and only mine?
Was it just an accident? ……
"How so? Find, or go back? Seeing that I was in a daze and didn't answer him, the fat man interrupted my thinking and pushed me who was smoking next to him.
When I was smoking, a flying insect flew out of nowhere, and when I spit out the smoke ring, it flew into my mouth, and I accidentally swallowed it. Bah! I immediately spat in disgust, wiped my mouth, and said, "Look for it again, it should be around here." ”
So we started a carpet search in the woods, and in order to solve the problem quickly, the fat soldier and I split up and searched separately.
Suddenly, the fat man shouted, "Ngawang! If you find something, come here. "I ran over and saw that it was a cave, strange! How can there be a cave here?
"The backpack may be in it, go! Go inside and have a look. As he spoke, the fat man prepared to go into the cave.
"Wait a minute, it might be dangerous to be so dark inside." I grabbed the fat man and said.
"I brought a flashlight," the fat man said and went into the cave, for the fat man's style of saying that the wind is the rain, I can only get used to it, so I quickly followed up.
The inside of the cave is exactly as I thought, it was pitch black, and I could only see the road by relying on the strong flashlight.
This kind of environment makes me vaguely feel dangerous, I originally wanted to get out, but inexplicably I seemed to be enchanted to follow the fat man to the deep hole.
The cave is a karst cave formed by limestone being dissolved by water containing carbonated gas for a long time, under the flashlight pillar dangling in the hands of the fat man, it can be visually detected that this karst cave is almost more than three meters high, the top of the head is covered with conical rocks that have been dissolved by water, each conical rock is drooping downward, like this karst cave in Yunnan is one of the distributions.
I used to hear my father tell such a story, in 1974, after our army recovered the Yongle Islands in the Xisha Islands, in a military survey of the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea, found an unfathomable mysterious cave, according to local fishermen, it is rumored that there are huge animals in the cave, fishermen dare not approach this place, and avoid it.
So the next day, the military came to this cave to find out, and saw that there was a dark blue sea with a radius of 200 meters in the shallow green sea of the reef, which was very eerie and terrifying. Everyone suppressed their nervousness and paddled to the hole to prepare for the depth measurement, and the soldiers used ropes to hang the bathymetry hammer and put down the water, but the 200-meter rope was not finished.
A few curious and daring soldiers asked to go down to find out, but there was no return, and the rope tied to the soldiers in the lower cave was bloodstained after being pulled up, but the corpses of the soldiers were missing, and such unsolved mysteries were not solved until the end.
I've always been convinced when I've heard this story that the soldiers must have been killed by some unknown creature.
Now that I am under such a cave, I can't help but shudder through my whole body when I think of this story, but I can't help but be curious to see what is in this undiscovered cave.
So I clenched the sapper shovel in my hand and the fat man kept groping into the depths of the cave, and the deeper I went, the more humid the environment of the cave became, and I could hear water droplets dripping intermittently from the top of the cave, dripping on the rocks in the cave, making a sound of "tick, tick, tick ......" accompanied by the frequency of my heartbeat, which came to my ears.
In such a dark light and blind fire, listening to the sound of water droplets in such a blind environment makes people feel very uncomfortable, and their bodies are hairy.
A little further in, I heard a strange sound in my ears that sounded like that of some creature, and what disturbed me even more was the same one I had heard in the cracks of the ground yesterday when we had entered the valley.
At first I thought it was an auditory hallucination caused by nervousness, but the fat man turned around and asked me, "Ngawang!" Did you hear any sounds? "The fat man asked, and I knew it wasn't my auditory hallucinations.
Immediately, my heart sank, and I suddenly became uneasy, thinking that it was better to withdraw, lest I really meet some perverted unknown creatures, but when I looked back at the road where we came, I found a gloomy darkness, and I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, strange! We have walked all the way in diameter, and we have never beaten around the bush, so it stands to reason that we should be able to see the light at the entrance.
I immediately asked the fat man to use the bright flashlight in his hand to take a photo of the road when he was going to and fro, only to find that the road was gone, and only the black rock wall remained.
The fat man also felt weird, in the dark I obviously felt the fat man's uneasy mood, at this moment the strange sound in the cave became louder and louder, the fat man took a strong flashlight everywhere, I quickly took his hand and whispered "Idiot!" Turn off the flashlight. ”
The fat man was also afraid of attracting creatures that should not be attracted, so he asked me in a low voice, "Why do you turn it off?" ”
"Are you a pig? If you take a flashlight like this, the blind will know that we are here. I patted the fat man on the head and scolded softly.
The fat man immediately turned off the flashlight, and was still in the mood to joke with me, "Awang!" I think there's something wrong with what you just said, how can a blind man see it? ”
I glanced at the white fat man, "I'll go to your uncle, when is it, you're still in the mood to joke." ”
The fat man grinned, and then said, "What do you say we are going to do now?" ”
"! Of course, hurry up and find the exit, you can't sit still here."
Then the fat man patted me, pointed in front of him, and said, "Look." ”
I pushed the fat man away, and saw a beam of light piercing the dark cave from the outside, and the fat man and I walked briskly towards the light.
Walking in front of the light, it turned out to be a hole, and the hole was surrounded by dense weeds and dead branches, leaving only a small hole, and the light shone in through this hole.
The fat man and I were overjoyed at the same time, but also curious where the hole leads, so we both agreed, the fat man picked up the ice axe in his hand, I picked up the sapper shovel, quickly cut the mess, these weeds and dead branches are indiscriminately chopped, and soon cut out a hole that just enough people can drill through, and the fat man drilled out without saying a word.
When I got out of the hole, I was dumbfounded, and what appeared in front of me was simply another world, and as far as the eye could see, the mountains were surrounded by a valley in the shape of a large basin, and the valley was full of mountain flowers and huge trees.
100 meters away, in the middle of the valley, you can see a high mountain standing from the valley, the top of the mountain goes straight to the sky, the shape of the whole mountain is like a lion looking up to the sky and roaring, layers of clouds surround the mountain, a straight waterfall from the lion's mouth straight down 3,000 feet, and the rocks under the valley collide with the sound of water waves that shake the valley, and the mist of the waterfall plays a boundless rainbow.
What's even more strange is that the shrubs and jungles here are all growing so tall, some green grass has grown to my chest, and the towering trees are like pillars supporting the sky, and when I look up, I can only see the clouds, and I can't see the tops of the trees at all.
The fallen leaves on the ground are the size of a bed, and they are even more breathtaking when they walk out of the grass, and they are stunned, only to see a large area of endless strange flowers and plants, which cannot be named at all, and the flowers and plants are colorful, all of them are taller than me, and they are all strangely shaped.
I didn't even realize what was going on, so I froze in place, poked the fat man in shock, and said, "Fatty! Fast! Hit me, am I fucking dreaming? My voice trembled slightly with obvious excitement.
The fat man was busy taking photos, and he didn't pay attention to me at all, and when I saw this, I quickly took out my mobile phone to take pictures everywhere, which is the fantasy world of the realistic version of "Alice in Wonderland", and I can't say it if I don't take a group photo.
I turned on the front camera of my phone, and when I adjusted the angle, I saw a giant tree behind me move from the screen of my phone, is it a hallucination? I immediately looked back at the tree, and after a while, suddenly some huge vines broke out of the ground with a sudden bang, and grew rapidly with the sound of "whirring" breaking wind, and the vines surrounded the giant tree layer by layer, winding in an orderly manner, and gradually wrapping around the human shape.
The giant tree shook its torso, and slowly pulled the last giant foot wrapped in the vine out of the ground, and at this moment, a tree man dozens of feet tall stood in front of him.
"I'm grass! The giant tree is fine, run! "I yelled at the fat man, only to find that the fat man who had just taken a picture next to me was gone, something strange.
"Whew~~" A loud sound of breaking wind came from overhead, and I looked up to see that the giant palm of the tree man was slapping towards me.
Seeing that it was about to shoot me, I immediately took two arrow steps, the person jumped out like an arrow off the string, and then a fish jumped forward and rolled over to avoid the giant palm of the tree man, rolled around on the ground and got up, and immediately threw off his hands and legs and ran desperately.
The giant palm of the tree man slapped into the air, struck the ground, and suddenly the mountain shook, and the ground shook in bursts, and I staggered and stumbled for my life.
Then I heard the sound of the stone cracking, coming from the ground to the ground, as if something was rapidly drilling into the ground, the sound became more and more urgent, closer and closer, I did not run out of ten meters before there was a loud "bang" from the ground, a thick vine as big as a basin mouth drilled out of the ground at once, blocking my way, in a hurry I waved the sapper shovel in my hand, a shovel cut to the vine, when cutting the vine, there was a hot pain in the hand, the vine was as hard as a menhir, I cursed in my heart "I grass!" Is this iron? ”
Then I pulled the sapper shovel, and the flesh of the vine was torn off by the serrations on the sapper shovel, and the sapper shovel was still dripping with the red liquid flowing from the vine, bright red and bright red like blood, and the cut vine retracted into the ground at once.
Every few steps I ran a vine came out of the ground, and I cut as I ran, and because the vine was so hard, it cut to the hot sting of my hand holding the sapper's shovel.
The strange thing is that the tree man did not chase me, but there were constantly vines blocking my way, and I seemed to keep spinning in the same place, not running out at all, and I was tired of running, and it hurt to cut and chop.
Death is death, I can't run, I secretly said to myself, so I sat on the ground, the sapper shovel was put on the side and panted, and suddenly at this moment a figure galloped quickly in front of my eyes, and it was seen from the figure that it was a fat man, "Fat!" I screamed and chased after me.
This dead fat man ran very quickly as if he was running for his life, and the more I chased him, the more fierce he became.
"Fatty! What the fuck are you running around? "I chased while shouting, and the fat man ran as hard as he could as if he hadn't heard." Grass! I have to give you two kicks when I catch you, otherwise I'm really angry. I cursed in my heart, and then pounced on the fat man and threw him to the ground.
"Dead fatty! What do you run? I grabbed the fat man's clothes and turned them over and asked, and the moment the fat man turned around, I was almost not frightened.
What appeared in front of me was not a fat man at all, but an unusually distorted and mutated face, with two large nostrils turned upside down, nose hair exposed, bulging eyes, jet-black without pupils, and a mouthful of uneven, earthy yellow and pointed small fangs.
The monster bared its teeth, pounced on me, pressed on me, I punched it in the face, the monster was angry after I punched and used its fat black hair hand to choke my neck, I punched it in the face one after another, it was pinched tighter and tighter, no matter how I struggled I couldn't shake it off, I saw that there was no way, so that the little master Huangquan Road you accompany it! I yelled and choked the monster's neck with my hand, and we pinched each other hard.
Just when I was having trouble breathing and felt like I was about to lose my breath, a voice sounded in my ears, "The sky is blue and the earth is bright, the yin and yang are clear, and my eyes are clear." "The voice is too familiar, it's Uncle Nine's voice.
With Uncle Nine's voice "Break!" "I realized that it was the fat man who was riding on me and pinching my neck, and I was pinching the fat man's neck.
The two of us looked at each other, stunned and quickly let go of our hands, both of us were confused, and we didn't understand what was going on? Just staring at the place dumbfounded......
