Chapter 167: Unguardable
I couldn't help but take two more steps back, carrying Shirley Yang, who was already unconscious, and standing in a horn position with the fat man, carefully looking at the person opposite. There was a large mass of thick vines on the plank road behind him, which were swept down by the waterspout of Shicai, all tangled together and fell from the cliff, just hanging on the stone slab of the plank road.
Because the plank road is almost embedded in the stone wall of the anticline, it is far away from the center of the waterspout, so the damage is not too large; However, it is covered by various things that have been scraped at the bottom of the pond and on the mountain, and it looks unrecognizable, and there are broken vines and aquatic plants everywhere.
There are many kinds of plants in the great funnel of the Worm Valley that have been breeding in the extreme shade of the cliff for thousands of years, and this time they have also been greatly affected. The clump of plants that fell very close to our hiding place was like a thick branch of the plant, the thickness of a bucket, and the whole body was water-green, and there were many diamond-shaped short thick thorns growing on it; Except for being very large, they are no different from ordinary plants.
Only a large piece of this thick vine broke in the middle, and a large hole bloomed, revealing half of the naked body of the woman, and her appearance was not bad, but she lowered her head and closed her eyes, motionless. Her skin is like congealed fat, but she is also green and seeping.
Because the plants are green, and the woman hiding in them is also green, so I didn't pay attention until I was about to leave, and the fat man accidentally noticed that we were poking a woman behind our backs.
I glanced at the fat man, I wanted to copy the guy and do it, but now that I see clearly, no one knows what the woman is, is she a human? Is it weird? Looking at her motionless, it seemed that she was just a dead body, but what kind of corpse would hide in such a thick plant vine? And we weren't too far away, but the green corpse didn't smell bad, but smelled of plants.
I was carrying the wounded on my back, and it was not easy to move, so I glanced at the fat man and asked him to come and take a look. The fat man stepped forward with a submachine gun and asked thoughtlessly, "This eldest sister, are you dead or alive?" ”
The woman peeking out of the green vines didn't react, and the fat man turned to me and said, "It looks like it's a rice dumpling!" It's better to leave her alone, let's go to the sky, and go our separate ways. ”
I didn't think it was like it, so I said to him in the back: "How can it be a zongzi!" Do you see that the woman's body is slightly undulating, as if she is still breathing, as if she is asleep? ”
The fat man poked the woman with the muzzle of Miai's gun, and immediately jumped backwards in fright, almost knocking me off the cliff. I grabbed the rock next to me with my hand and asked him what was wrong.
The fat man pointed to the green woman, and said tremblingly: "Old Hu, old Hu, she ...... She's smiling at me! ”
I heard him laugh when he poked the woman with Miai, and I was terrified. Is there really a monster in this deep mountain and old forest? But when my heart moved, I wondered if it could be that thing? If that's the case, then Shirley Yang Ke just shouldn't die.
So he first lowered Shirley Yang from her back and let her lie flat on the stone slab; Together with the fat man, I walked again to the old man's approach. I looked at the woman carefully, she had no hair or eyebrows, but she had all the features, pointed jaw and thin neck, and high breasts, no matter how you looked at it, she was a good-looking woman; Except, of course, that the color of the skin is a little scary.
Looking further down, the woman had no legs, or rather, she was encased in this spore-like vine, and her legs were already in > with the plant
The fat man was frightened by this woman just now, and at this time he came back to his senses and said to me: "This is probably not a person, let alone a zongzi." Lao Hu, do you remember the incident we heard when we were children? ”
I nodded, "That's right!" 'If you don't ask, you will laugh when you caress it', I can't imagine that there is such a thing in the world. There is an old leader in our military region who has seen it with his own eyes - when the Red Army was on the Long March and the soldiers were trapped in Daliang Mountain, Liu Bocheng single-handedly went to form an alliance with Xiao Yedan, the leader of the Yi people; At that time, a part of the Red Army was separated from the large army, and they had seen such a thing in the Yi Mountains. ”
This beautiful green woman is a meat lotus, a rare and rare plant, which only exists in the extreme shade of the deep cliff of the ancient wall. All plants with the essence of the earth's qi will look like people, but even thousands of years of old ginseng only have five senses, and this wood root is so vivid, it is really not worthy of the name, it is about to become a fine, it is difficult to estimate how many years this humanoid wood essence has grown.
I said to the fat man: "I heard that those Red Army soldiers thought it was a mountain ghost and cut it with a large knife, but a lot of juice flowed from the wound of the mountain ghost, and the smell was tangy; So they cooked it and ate it...... They called it Cui Sweet Potato, and the Yi people told them it was a wood lotus. I guess it's something like a wood lotus. ”
The fat man said, "Oops! If this is really wood root, it is worth more than ginseng! What's the matter with us, do we dig it out and carry it back, or do we solve it on the spot? ”
I said to him, "Now you are carrying a big bag of Ming utensils, and I am carrying Shirley Yang, where can I get any extra things!" It is said that this thing has the miraculous effect of detoxifying and lightening the body, but I don't know if it can pull out the corpse poison of a thousand-year-old corpse. And you see this old vine is also broken, it has lost its source of nutrients, and it will wither before tomorrow. I think we're welcome, eat it! ”
The fat man was so hungry that he wanted me to say that. He picked up the sapper shovel, and as soon as the shovel went down, he first cut off an arm of the wooden lotus, plucked it in half, handed me half of it, and said: "The headless corpse of the king is wrapped in that piece of rotten meat, and it will catch up at any time, and if you don't have the time to cook it like the revolutionary martyrs, let's eat it raw!" ”
I took the half of the human arm-shaped wooden lotus, only to see clear juice flowing out of the section, it smelled really fragrant and refreshing, and licked a little juice with my tongue, at first I felt a little sweet, but after a while, I felt that my mouth was immediately full of rich sweetness. The taste is very special, I opened my mouth again and took a big bite, clicked and chewed, sweet and crisp and refreshing, I don't know if it was because I was hungry or because this wood lotus essence tasted excellent, and it was really a bit addictive.
The fat man on the side had already gnawed off the half of the wooden lotus arm between bites, wiped his mouth, and picked up the sapper shovel to cut the rest of the part. The lotus was cut a few times, and its body seemed to tremble slightly, as if it was in unbearable pain, and then it stopped moving.
When we entered the dissolved rock cave from the mountain temple, we brought about three days of food, but by the time we entered the ancient tomb and the underworld, we were almost eaten by the fat man. All the way, the physical exertion was very great, and they were hungry enough, and finally found something to eat, and immediately devoured it.
I gnawed a few bites, I felt cool all over the body, the hunger in the abdomen suddenly decreased, Shirley Yang was unconscious, I took a large piece of wood lotus, cut a few cuts with a paratrooper knife, pinched her nose and poured her, Shirley Yang's snow-white face, shrouded in a layer of gloomy corpse gas, at this time I drank some cool juice of wood lotus, that layer of corpse gas has decreased significantly, I am very happy in my heart, this fate is picked up.
He also cut some wooden lotus roots, wrapped them in glutinous rice, and beckoned the fat man to throw away a few useless things in his bag, and put the remaining wooden lotus into a sealed bag, and take them with him, and it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and he must leave immediately.
The fat man picked up some gold and jade vessels that occupied the place and threw them on the ground, and filled the remaining half of the wooden lotus into a closed bag, and I took the head of the king and stuffed it into his own carrying bag.
In this way, we delayed for another seven or eight minutes, but at last we had eaten something and regained some of our energy, and I looked at the deep pool at the bottom of the valley, dark green, and there seemed to be no movement, but my intuition told me that this was just the calm before the storm, and that it would never be finished until the corpse hole was completely resolved, so I took Shirley Yang on my back, and climbed up the plank road with the fat man, and continued our escape journey.
The fat man said to me as he walked: "This trip to Yunnan is really a terrible errand, but I have also obtained a few valuable things, and after I go back, it will be enough for them to covet for a few years." ”
I said to the fat man: "Your bag contains the jade letter we found in the apse of the Heavenly Palace, although I don't know what secrets are contained in it, but it must be an important event, and the bronze mirror that suppressed the bronze coffin also has a great origin, maybe it is an antiquity from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, these things are extraordinary, you better keep your mouth shut for me, don't leak it out, until I figure out the mystery, including the big gold tooth, I can't let him know." ”
Speaking of the Ming utensils that I touched from the "Tomb of the King", I subconsciously touched my carrying bag, and remembered that in addition to the head of the king, there were also a lot of black rings pulled out of his hands, which should also be the most valued utensils by the king, even second only to the "dust beads", but what is it used for?
Confused thoughts, interrupted by the huge noise at the bottom of the valley, bursts of nails scratching the wall of the piercing noise, intermittently along the stone wall will come up, the sound is getting louder and louder, the speed of rise is extremely fast, I don't know well, now from the end of the plank road, there is still a long distance, it must be too late to run up, hurriedly look around, want to find a terrain that can rely on cover, but found that the location outside us, is not far from the gourd hole on the cliff, although it is not easy to come down from the hole, but with the flying tiger claws to go up, But it's not that hard.
The corpse hole at the bottom of the pool is already very close, I see that the time is pressing, except for the advanced gourd hole, there is no other place to retreat, so I took out Shirley Yang's flying tiger claw, hooked the rock wall, and I used the mountaineering rope and the commonly known "fast hanging" safety bolt, the shirley Yang on the back with himself tied strongly, pulled the stainless steel chain of the flying tiger claw, stepped on the bulge on the anticline cliff that can stand on the bump, step by step on the gourd mouth.
As soon as I entered the gourd cave, I found that the water level here was lowered by a large part, and there were some white corpses scattered everywhere, all of which were those hideous-looking dead people, presumably they couldn't stand the thin oxygen at the entrance of the cave, and they all retreated into the depths, and the entrance of the cave was temporarily safe.
I immediately put down Shirley Yang, fastened the climbing line with a quick hanger, and hung down to pick up the fat man, who had a fear of heights, and if he didn't answer, he couldn't climb down.
But look down, suddenly the whole body is awe-inspiring, this is the first time to see the corpse hole more clearly, a large cloud of carrion in the haze, almost can cover half of the mouth of the pool, probably because it is just a dead body of an aconite, not as the legend has facial features like a human head, but only on it there are several huge black holes, it seems to be the previous nose, mouth, eyes and the like, especially a large and a small two opposite black holes, should be the two eye points of the meat zhi, at this time it is attached to the cliff, constantly squirming upward, The rancid smell could be smelled from high places, and the black gas that spread from it seemed to obscure the clear sky.
The ever-expanding "corpse hole effect" is by no means generally comparable, it has almost no weaknesses, it is impossible to resist at all, once it is touched, it will be sucked into the "gap" of life and death, I hurriedly beckoned the fat man to hurry up, and the fat man also knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly climbed up.
Just when the fat man was still two meters away from the hole, he suddenly heard a terrible wail coming from the air, and I felt that it was dark in front of me, and a big "eagle owl" pounced on the fat man from mid-air. I shouted that it was not good, the "eagle owl" was the most vindictive animal in the wild animals, we killed one with a submachine gun in the dense forest that night, and we didn't expect this one to hide in the dark place in the valley regardless of the day, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack us.
I dragged the rope in my hand, and it was too late to turn around and get the gun, and it was a miracle that the fat man was hanging high in the air, and he could still grab the rope and climb up, and there was no room for return fire.
It's too late, it's fast, the "eagle owl" has already carried a gust of wind, from the air to the fat man's eyes fluttered, fortunately, Comrade Wang Kaixuan has also experienced the test of severe struggle, life and death, can still remember to shrink the stomach, bow his head to avoid the "eagle owl" like a steel hook claws, but the fat man's head is avoided, but the backpack on his back was caught.
The "Eagle Owl" is an aerial killer in the jungle, its claws are extremely sharp, like a steel knife, a waterproof rucksack of canvas, and it was immediately torn open from top to bottom, and some of the items inside, including jade letters, ancient mirrors and other objects, fell from the air with their heads turned over.
