The camping place we were looking for was backed by a mountain wall on one side and a cliff on the other, and below the cliff was a mountain stream hundreds of meters deep, and the rain like a waterfall fell down the mountain stream one after another, and the sound of hitting the trees and rocks was resounding. On the other side, the mountain wall is steep and smooth, straight up and down, and there is no grass, as if it was formed by a mountain fault. Under the cliff is a near-circular pool the size of a basketball court, which looks up like a giant pupil that opens its eyes, looking up at the mountains and the sky, calm and waveless. The bean-sized raindrops smashed into the pool, like falling on the ink-colored sponge, without a little sound and waves, I suddenly thought of the term black pool, and looked at Professor Kang from afar, Professor Kang pointed to the pool with his chin, nodded, and said that this is the black pool I am looking for. I felt a burst of ecstasy in my heart, but I didn't expect to come to the edge of the black water pool by mistake, I don't know if it was a coincidence or providence.

The side of the black water pool is a man-made resting platform, the platform is much larger than the water hole, it is estimated that the craftsmen who used to build the plank road used to set up camp, and our tents are supported in a circle on this spacious platform.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, thunder and lightning in the sky, a lightning bolt crosses the sky, hits the steep and smooth cliff, the whole cliff is illuminated, instantly, all the people are stunned by the scene in front of them, staring at the cliff with wide eyes, the moment the lightning falls, there is a row of people on the cliff, the row of people wearing battle robes, holding spears, looks like the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, these officers and soldiers are escorting a group of prisoners, the captives are shackled, and they are tied into a string by ropes. Occasionally, officers and soldiers raised their long whips from time to time to beat the prisoners, and the prisoners fell to the ground, and several soldiers surrounded them and kicked them...... The lightning in the sky was one after another, and the soldiers on the huge stone wall continued to walk out of the stone wall as if they had followed the lightning to descend from the sky, and people kept coming in, and there was a steady stream. The cliff flickered and flickered, and the soldiers and captives flickered and flickered, strangely unusual. All the people saw this incredible scene on the stone wall, frightened and raised the 79 submachine gun in their hands, the muzzle was aimed at the stone wall, I don't know who did not calm down and pulled the trigger without authorization, instantly, more than ten bullets swished to the stone wall, the stone wall was shot out of bright light, and the sparks were everywhere, however, the soldiers and prisoners on the stone wall were not affected in the slightest, everyone was even more afraid of the ghost that everyone really encountered the ghost, and the black bull also held the submachine gun, ready to fight at any time, and asked in a low voice: "What the hell is going on?" What the hell are we doing? ”

I was stunned by this scene in front of me, how could so many soldiers and prisoners of the Ming Dynasty appear in this deep mountain and old forest at once? I suddenly thought of what the ghostly stele man in the morgue general's mansion said, there was once a team of officers and soldiers who built a plank road in this deep mountain to exterminate Nanyi, and these people on the stone wall must be those soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but how could they appear on the cliff? Could it be that they haven't finished their conquest for hundreds of years?

I looked at the cliff with wide eyes, faintly feeling that something seemed to be wrong, trying to observe and think, Gu Yixin stood beside me, looked at it for a while and said, "It seems, there is no sound." "Black Bull doesn't know what's going on" Xiao Gu, are you deaf? You didn't hear such a loud thunder and shooting? Gu Yixin's words woke me up, by the way, those people on the stone wall didn't make the slightest sound, if all this is true, then at least there should be the sound of chains, whipping, and even scolding and wailing, but these sounds are all gone, the cliff opposite is like a silent movie, is it really the ghost of the Ming Dynasty soldiers gathering? However, it doesn't make sense, those soldiers all died in the morgue, and even if there were ghosts, they shouldn't be here.

Seeing this situation, the timid old smoker had long been frightened and hid behind Zhang Xuefeng, while reciting Nan Wuami, he said alarmistly that this was a heavenly soldier, and the living could not collide with them, otherwise they would die without a place to be buried, and persuaded Zhang Xuefeng to leave this place quickly.

I finally found the Black Tiger Pond, so naturally I couldn't leave so easily, but those mercenaries were so frightened by the old smoking gun that they were trembling, and without waiting for Zhang Xuefeng to give an order, they grabbed their equipment and prepared to leave. The black bull looked at the cliff and said to himself, "This fucking is the soul of the wrong, just like those little palace maids in the Forbidden City, they come out to walk around every thunderstorm." ”

When I heard what the black bull said, I felt as if I was about to find this mess, so I grabbed the black bull's arm and asked him to repeat what he had just said, and the black bull looked at me and asked, "Old Su, are you scared silly or are your ears deaf?" Didn't you hear what I just said? I said that these Ming Dynasty soldiers are not gone, just like the little palace maids in the Forbidden City, they come out to wander around during a thunderstorm, have you heard it now? Let's retreat as well. ”

It dawned on me that the so-called underworld soldiers on the opposite cliff were not ghosts, but a magical natural phenomenon. The reason for this phenomenon is the same as the Forbidden City maid incident: one day in 1992, the entire Forbidden City was shrouded in a thunderstorm, and tourists who were visiting the Forbidden City hurriedly searched for shelter from the rain. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning and thunder, a supernatural event happened, and tourists suddenly found that on the red wall of the Forbidden City, a row of walking palace maids appeared! Those palace maids were dignified and walked unhurriedly, and many tourists also took pictures of the time, and they suspected that the palace maids were not gone. Later, experts researched in many ways and finally gave a scientific explanation: because the palace wall is red, containing ferric tetroxide, and lightning may conduct electrical energy down, if there happens to be a palace maid passing by, then at this time the palace wall is equivalent to the function of the video tape, if there is a lightning coincidence in the future, it may be like a video projection, the shadow of those recorded palace maids will appear.

I shouted at the retreating mercenaries and said, "Don't be afraid, I know what's going on!" I took a wolf-eye flashlight and shone on the cliff opposite the waterhole, and explained: "You see the rocks on this cliff, all of them are vermilion, this rock is called red sandstone, which is very common in the southern mountains, and it is dark red or deep red because of its rich oxide content. At that time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty exterminated Nanyi, escorted the captured captives back to the camp, and walked here to coincide with a thunderstorm, and the scene at that time was recorded by the rocks under the action of lightning, and now it coincides with the thunderstorm, so the picture at that time was presented like a movie. Therefore, this is not some kind of heavenly soldier, nor is it a natural phenomenon that is no longer commonplace. ”

After hearing this, everyone stood still and looked at each other, feeling that some of the scientific truths in my explanation just now were not as scared as before. The lightning gradually decreased, and the underworld soldiers on the stone wall gradually disappeared, so everyone completely relaxed their vigilance and unloaded their equipment one after another. The old smoker saw that he had lost his dignity just now, so he hid aside and kept silent. After a few moments, the thunder and lightning died down, the torrential rain finally stopped, and a pile of solid fuel was set ablaze in the camp, leaving two mercenaries to keep vigil while the others returned to their tents to rest, and the camp soon fell silent.

In a daze, I heard movement outside the tent, it seemed that someone was whispering, I climbed out of my sleeping bag, hid on the edge of the tent to listen, and I couldn't really hear it, so I simply opened the tent door and walked out, the camp was bright, many mercenaries gathered together, what are you doing here if you don't sleep well? I was very curious, and was about to go up to see what was going on, and just a few steps forward, Kang Wanquan came out of the crowd, pointed at me and said, "This kid and the old man are also in the same group." "I panicked, when did Kang Wanquan come back, it seems that my identity has been leaked? Just about to run away, two mercenaries rushed up and crushed me to the ground, beat me violently, and then dragged me to the center of the crowd, I almost fainted when I saw it, only to see the black bull and Gu Yixin also lying in the middle of the crowd, both of them were already in different places, there was a lot of blood on the ground, the black bull stared at the big eyes, looking dead, Gu Yixin's neck was still bleeding, the blood soaked her clothes and hair, her face was pale, her mouth was slightly open, as if calling my name. Zhang Xuefeng stood coldly with a saber, the blood on the saber fell to the ground drop by drop, and every drop fell with a sound, I shouted heartbreakingly, struggling to fight with Zhang Xuefeng, only to see him sneer, raised the saber and slashed at my neck, the blade was cold, getting closer and closer to me...... I sat up suddenly, felt a warmth in my neck, and touched it, as if it was saliva from sleeping just now, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was just a nightmare. The black bull still slept on my side, snoring like thunder. The sound of water dripping on the tent, and the sound of blood dripping in the dream was actually the sound of the rain hitting the tent on the tree. I eased my mood and was just about to get into my sleeping bag to continue resting, when I suddenly heard a sound of real footsteps outside the tent, and then heard Kang Wanquan's voice: "Chief, we have been tricked, and there are no gold medals in the cave at all." Then, Zhang Xuefeng called a few people in an angry voice and asked those people to control me and Hei Niu.

I was just about to wake up the black bull, four mercenaries rushed into our tent, and the black bull and I were held out of the tent, the mercenary who was broken by the black bull raised the military stick without saying anything, and smashed it on my head with all his strength, and when I was about to fall, a hand suddenly stretched out in the crowd, and the hand was firmly grasped by the general's stick, and the mercenary who broke the bridge of his nose twitched a few times, and the military stick did not move at all, and the hand was slightly forced, the mercenary and the military stick were thrown out a few meters away, and the old smoking gun shone with a wolf's eye flashlight, It was found that the place where the stick had just been caught had been deformed, leaving a clear handprint. All the people were taken aback, and hurriedly looked at the person who grabbed the baton, only to see that the person was wearing a mercenary's clothes, his face was thin and cold, it was one of the mercenaries who had just returned with Kang Wanquan, Kang Wanquan stared at the person and asked one after another, "You...... You weren't going with me to find the gold medal, who are you? How do you wear A's clothes? Where's A's? ”

"In a cave." The mysterious man in mercenary clothes replied coldly, and Kang Wanquan suddenly realized that when the mercenary Ah went into the cave to look for the gold ornament, the mysterious man secretly replaced him, and on the way back, Kang Wanquan didn't notice the slightest abnormality. Zhang Xuefeng stared at the man and asked sharply, "Who are you!" The mysterious man didn't pay attention to him, walked straight to me, looked at me quietly, I suddenly felt that this face, these eyes are so familiar, but I really can't remember where I have seen it, I subconsciously reached out and prepared to shake hands with him, stammered and smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Su Nianbei, that, that, thank you Zhang Yi for making a move, you, what do you call it?" ”

He still looked at me calmly, his eyes were like a clear spring, clear and deep, and after a while he replied, "Gao Moli". He didn't mean to shake my hand, I awkwardly withdrew my outstretched hand, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, fortunately." ”
