Chapter 186: Escape
When: Winter 2017.
Location: Tibet.
In order to find the third "Jade of the Living Dead", the six members of the Unsolved Mysteries Research Institute embarked on a journey to the Meili Snow Mountain, but unexpectedly encountered a terrifying "black root" in a mysterious area in the mountain range.
This root is different from our common sense, it is alive, and eats flesh and blood, and biologically it is more like an animal than a plant. The size of this black root is enormous, reaching 44 to 46 meters just from the exposed part of the black hole, but how long is the unexposed part hidden under the ice? We don't know. But I guess it must be astronomical......
After encountering this thing, because the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, so our group chose to escape, after more than ten minutes of wild running, we finally got rid of the monster, and when we were about to rest, we found that not far from the mountainside, there was an old man who was quietly watching us......
When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help frowning. This is already a no-man's land, its living conditions are so bad, we don't need to describe it too much, this kind of place has no water and no food, and there are often fierce beasts rampant, and there are still a large number of "unknown creatures" in this mountain that have not yet been discovered. It's impossible to live in this kind of place, but what's the matter with this old man?
The old man standing on the mountainside, I didn't need to look closely to know that he was Han and not Tibetan, he was wearing a thin white long robe, his hands behind his back, his silver hair and silver beard dancing in the blue without wind, looking full of fairy spirit.
What is this path?
Immortal?
No.
Where are there any gods in this world......
Zhou Boren waved his hand to everyone: "Let's go, go over and have a look." Everyone nodded, and walked behind Zhou Boren to the old man. Although the old man was standing halfway up the mountain, because the mountain was not high, we could still see it clearly. Zhou Boren shouted at him: "Old man, may I ask who you are ......?"
He was only halfway through his sentence, but suddenly there was an incredible scene! The old man disappeared in front of all of us! I Mo Laosan can bet on my waist that this guy definitely disappeared on the spot, not a trick, let alone running while we weren't paying attention, because I clearly saw that this guy faded little by little, and then disappeared, and he didn't move at all during the whole process of disappearing.
Feng Erbiao exclaimed: "! Did you see the third child? ”
Pudding girl covered her mouth: "This ...... This ......"
The old man and Zhou Boren also looked stupid, and Sun Wennu was even more embarrassed, and she had already fainted with fright.
Since I joined the Institute of Unsolved Mysteries, my three views have been on the verge of breaking up countless times, but as an excellent substitute party member, I still adhere to the consciousness of a communist atheist. Among the strange events I encountered, whether it was a "human skin puppet" or a "Qin Emperor's spirit mouse", or "the true body of the Joyful Buddha sitting in a jar", "a paper man in white" and so on...... Although these things are unusual, there are more or less scientific principles to explain them, but at this moment, a big living person has disappeared in front of us, how do you explain this?
A few of us froze in place, no one spoke, not because we didn't know what to say, but because no one wanted to say the word "ghost". After being silent for a long time, Zhou Boren finally spoke, and he said in a low voice: "Everyone, this Meili Snow Mountain area...... It seems to be a little weird. I always thought that Tibet was a holy place for Buddhism and should be "clean", but I didn't expect it to be ......."
Pudding Mei asked, "Director, what should we do then?" ”
Zhou Boren frowned and said: "I don't know why, I always have a bad premonition in my heart, and I always feel that something big is going to happen on this trip to Tibet. I even had a nightmare last night that many of us had died, and I had never had such a dream in my life. I'm wondering if we're going to put this mission off for now and go back and think about it for the long haul. As you have also seen, the "unknown phenomenon" in this Meili Snow Mountain is far beyond our common sense, and I am afraid that we will ......."
Gu Nianxia interrupted: "What about the pudding and the third child." ”
The old man sighed and said, "Nian Xia, I understand your feelings, but I understand Lao Zhou's concerns better." He's right, this piece of Meili Snow Mountain is a bit weird, and interrupting the mission is indeed a safe strategy in the long run. The Living Dead Jade can be put away first, but our biggest problem now is the corpse Gu on the third child, I have a compromise solution, do you want to hear it. ”
Gu Nianxia said: "Let's hear it." ”
The old man said: "The bodies of the third child and the pudding are slowly "corpsed", this phenomenon is, in the final analysis, a kind of Gu technique, which is what the Heavenly Burial Master called "corpse Gu". The Tibetans are not good at Gu in the first place, and the Miao Xinjiang area is the originator of Gu arts. When I went to Guizhou to rob the tomb, I accidentally got acquainted with a master of Gu arts, named "Tan Lao Scorpion", I was thinking, instead of us wasting time on the ethereal "Guiru Temple", it is better to take a plane directly to Guizhou and let professional people deal with this matter, even if Tan Lao Scorpion can't untie the corpse Gu on the third child, he can also give us ideas. This group of people has been doing this professionally for generations, and they always have a better way than us when it comes to problems, what do you think? ”
Zhou Bodao: "If this is the case, it is the best. We don't have confidence now, isn't it because of the corpse Gu on the third child and Pudding, if we can solve this matter first, then we will come to Meili Snow Mountain next time, and we will naturally be able to let go of our hands and feet! ”
Speaking of which, the next general direction is basically decided. Meili Snow Mountain is weird enough, Pudding and I have corpse Gu in our bodies, and we may die at any time. This trip to Tibet was originally a "king's game", and the king's game was the most difficult to turn around, and we just started with a big headwind. The great world No. 1 jungler Kling once said: "You have to hold on to the wind, let alone the headwind." ”
So we decided to temporarily suspend the mission and go to Guizhou first to find a Gu master named "Tan Old Scorpion" to see if he can unravel the corpse Gu on me and Pudding. The old man was right, instead of looking for the ethereal "Guiru Temple", it is better to leave the professional problems to professional people to deal with, and we can also take advantage of this time to slowly ponder what is going on with the black roots and the white-robed old man.
Just go.
Running for our lives is what our gang does best.
But we walked through the mountains for five hours, and we found that it was not the same way at all! We only walked for two hours when we came in, and it was impossible to walk out for five hours, and we had professional positioning equipment, and the direction was absolutely right, but what the hell is going on? How is it that the direction is right, but the road is wrong......
