I asked Shirley Young, "I think these two rocks are abrupt here, but there is nothing special about the rocks themselves. If it's a meteorite, and it's exposed, then there should be a crater here, and where do you see any traces of being hit by a meteorite around here? ”

She looked at her watch again and said to me, "Look at the dive electronic watch you have on your wrist, there's no time to show it now." There are a lot of crystals on this stone, I estimate that it contains some kind of rare gas and cosmic elements (the upper "Bao Gaitou" and the lower "Jia") elements, electronic circuits, transistors and radio equipment are affected by it, and it may be that the nearby crashes are mostly related to these two meteorites. As soon as the planes that deviate from the course approach the sky over this area, all the electronic equipment will fail, and this place is almost like the triangle of a hundred curtains in Yunnan. ”

The fat man and I both raised our hands to look at our watches, and sure enough, they were all gray and white crystals, and all the data was gone, as if the battery was running out. I went to look at the rock again, and sure enough, there were many crystals on it that were not very obvious. I worked as an engineer for several years, and I spent my adult years digging holes in Kunlun Mountain, which is a superimposed geological structure, with almost all kinds of rock formations, so I know most of the rocks. But this gray crystalline mineral rock, which I have never seen before, really looks a bit like a meteorite.

The fat man still didn't believe it, but we didn't have any extra electronic products, so he took out a radio from his backpack - it was used by me to listen to the news broadcast on the road, because there was no signal after entering the mountain, so it was pressed to the bottom of the bag - at this time, I took it out, and as soon as I turned on the switch, there was a few noises from the "bang, bang, bang", and then there was no movement no matter how I tossed.

Looking at the flashlight and other equipment, because it uses dry batteries to generate electricity, it has no effect, and the fat man said: "It's strange, there are still this kind of stone." I don't know how much the international transaction price is, let's collect some and go back to study and study. After that, I picked up the pickaxe and wanted to go to the rocks and knock a few samples down.

I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't move! What if there is radiation. I remember looking at meteorites somewhere, and there was radioactive material in them. If it is radiated, it will lose its hair first, and finally its whole body will rot and die. ”

Shirley Yang said: "Not all meteorites have radioactive materials, and there may be some kind of electromagnetic energy in this piece, which is why there is serious interference with electronic equipment. This meteorite may not have fallen here, but was later moved to Taniguchi as a sign of the entrance to the king's tomb. In fact, large meteorites that can fall to the ground are extremely rare, and there is a large crater in the United States. The falling meteorite must be tangent to the atmosphere at an angle of 6.5 degrees, otherwise it will overburn and disappear into ash due to friction. These two stones are just a small residue left after burning, and the crystals on the surface are formed by intense combustion. Although there is no grass growing here, there are active insects and ants around, so it may not be harmful to humans. But if you don't know what happened, I'd advise you not to touch it. ”

The fat man was still not very reconciled, but after all, he had already obtained a few genuine antiquities from the old banyan tree, so he gave up and threatened to come to this worm valley to pick stones again when he couldn't get along in the future.

We stood at the mouth of the valley and looked at the two stones with human eyes, and we thought that we would camp here tonight and rest, and set out early tomorrow morning into the depths of the valley to find the entrance marked by the toad, but how did we look at it and feel that this place was wrong. Standing at the entrance of the valley, I felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by those eyes. However, the situation in the worm valley was unknown, and if we went further inside, the ghost knew what would happen, so we had to go back the way we came, and set up a meal near the red-flowered bush.

Since the bamboo raft into the Shalong Mountain until now, the three of us have not had a good rest for two days and one night, except for the fat man who slept for most of the night.

There are not many insects and ants in this area, and there are flowers and trees fragrant to hit people, it is indeed a good place to camp and sleep. We all know that there will be a lot of life to do from tomorrow, and tonight is the last chance to rest, and we must get enough sleep to restore our physical and mental state to the best state. So he casually ate some beef and dry food bought from the Caiyun Inn, hurriedly ate and ate, leaving the fat man on the first shift, and took turns to sleep in the sleeping bag. Since we had shot a great eagle in the forest last night, and the eagle eagle was a vengeful animal, several of them had already attacked us near dawn, but since it was already dark, they were not accustomed to daylight activities, so they retreated for the time being, and they might come back again to take revenge at the slightest moment—so the night watchman was a must.

At night, I suddenly felt a tingling itch on my hands, which was the back of my hand that had been bitten by the piranha in the mountains; Then I sat up from the sleeping bag at once, reached out and touched it, the tape on the back of the hand that was originally tied with waterproof tape had been broken, and a black (three points of water on the left, the upper Bao Gai on the right, the middle mouth, and the lower one) worms crawled out of the wound, I hurriedly pinched two with my hands, and the worms crawled more and more, I was frightened and wanted to find someone to help, and when I looked up, I saw that the surroundings were quiet, the moon hung in the air, and the whereabouts of the fat man and Shirley Yang were gone, and the sleeping bags were all empty.

Suddenly, there was a noise among the nearby flowers and trees, and an old man in a green robe, wearing a golden mask, rode on top of an elephant, passed through the red flowers, and rushed towards me. He was menacing, and I hurriedly rolled away to dodge, and suddenly I felt someone pushing my shoulder, and I opened my eyes all at once—it turned out to be a nightmare.

Shirley Yang was looking at me from the side: "You were startled, dreaming again?" ”

My clothes were soaked through cold sweat, and the dream was too real, and I nodded to Shirley Young, it seemed that it was my turn to keep vigil. Strange, I just dreamed in a nightmare that the man in the mask was the king? I don't feel it in my dream, but the itchy and painful pain in the wound is still faint after waking up, and when I think of this, I suddenly feel the wound on the back of my hand tighten, and the pain of jumping and jumping.

If the wound heals and new flesh grows gradually, it should be slightly itchy, and it seems that the injury is serious again, so I uncover the adhesive tape. I saw that the back of my hand was slightly purple, and I had already taken antibiotics, so it shouldn't be an infection. But the wound seemed to be a little bigger than it had been at the beginning, so I had to change the medicine myself, re-bandage the back of my hand, and wonder to myself - could it be that those saber-toothed piranhas ate the water bees in the figurines and contaminated me with the poison? Thinking of the disgusting part of the scab, I couldn't help but think about the good side as much as I could, and cheer up the vigil.

But the more I thought about it, the more worried I became, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep this hand, and if a few worms really crawled out of it, I would rather cut off this hand in advance. After a long day of ideological struggle, I had to wake up Shirley Young, who had just fallen asleep, and ask her to help see if I had been poisoned.

After reading it, she found me some pills to eat, and comforted me that it was just a normal phenomenon of wound healing after being bitten by a fish, and that there was no need to worry about it, including nightmares at night, which were also caused by new flesh growing from the wound, and that it would be okay as long as I protected myself from getting infected again.

That's when I let go of my hanging heart.

Finally, at dawn, the three of them set off towards their destination according to the predetermined plan, preparing to find the place marked by the toad in the valley to see if they could find the secret passage through the miasma. However, this tomb of the king has been in business for many years, and it is very well arranged, even if there is a secret passage through the barrier on the ground, I am afraid that this secret passage is not so easy to walk.

The plants in the Worm Valley are much denser than in the jungle, so they are not very wide. Passing through the two huge meteorites in front of the valley, along the snake stream to the depths of the valley, with the gradual decline of the terrain, there are more and more vine plants, a cluster of vines will cover the top of the stream, the mountain walls on both sides are hung with countless small plants of all kinds and colors, hanging on the side of the mountain on the radish (edge, side changed to three points of water), often see a variety of plants growing together, like a colorful hanging garden.

Due to the narrow terrain, the competition for living space here is particularly fierce, and various plants extend from above to the outside of the valley in order to get enough light, so the terrain in the valley cannot be seen from the heights.

The environment is unusually humid and muggy, and all we can see is rich green, and after a long time, our eyes feel glazed. In order to advance through the dense vegetation, the fat man had to open the way with a sapper shovel in front, and Shirley Yang and I followed closely behind, struggling through the mosquito-infested valley and overgrown vines.

Compared to the obstruction of vine plants, the biggest problem comes from mosquitoes in the shade of the valley. These vampires in the jungle, at least a dozen species, gather in groups, and pounce on people regardless of life or death. We had to mash the garlic and airplane grass we brought with us into juice and rub them on the exposed parts of our bodies, but fortunately, the proprietress of Caiyun Inn gave us some special mosquito repellent water made by the locals and it still played a certain role. Even though there are these mosquito repellent things, they are still bitten a few times, and the place where they are bitten is immediately red and swollen, becoming hard, and the tentacles are painful, as if they have a pink tumor.

Shirley Yang said thank God, these mosquitoes are not too big, and they are not very poisonous, after all, this is not a tropical rainforest. The poisonous mosquitoes in the Amazon rainforest are the real blood-sucking demons of the jungle, and they are hugely poisonous. However, the poisonous and vicious mosquitoes are afraid of garlic, and this weakness coincides with the vampires of European legends.

The dense vegetation in the valley is not surprising to us - although when the tomb was built, it was supposed to be a Shinto road leading to the Ming Tower, and all the materials had to be transported to it through here - but it has been 2,000 years now, and in such a long time, the valley may undergo drastic changes, and the vegetation layer that was cut down during the construction of the tomb will grow again, covering and eroding all the remains of Shinto.

However, it can still be seen that with the continuous deepening, there are more and more traces of artificial buildings. From time to time, some collapsed stone statues and stone figures are exposed on the ground, these are the stone carvings on both sides of the Shinto of the king's tomb, it can be seen that the tomb of the king is the same as other king's tombs, and the Shinto in front of the tomb is specially established for future generations to go to the Ming Tower to worship and worship. However, King Xian probably did not expect that less than seven or eight years after his death, the subjects of his territory, including his hometown of Gudian, would be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. The royal tomb, which spent huge manpower and material resources and worked hard to manage and build, can only remain in the depths of this dark valley, forever sealed in the dust in the corner of history. Only we, the inverted captains who touched the gold, would come to visit him despite the difficulties and dangers.

After walking through the layers of vegetation for three or four hours, I finally found the ruins of a ruined wall in front of me, which is the legendary first embankment. Now only the rammed earth stone platform more than three meters thick and two meters high remains, which is also covered with a layer of weeds, and only some places where the blue-striped stone is exposed are not planted. As only a small section remains, it looks more like a green mound, like the mound of a mound, mixed with the jungle of a deep valley; If it weren't for Shirley Yang's sharp eyes, we would have passed by here.

In order to further confirm whether the remnants of the wall covered with vegetation were the embankment marked on the human skin map, the fat man chiseled the ruin with a pickaxe several times, trying to scrape off the weeds and green moss on the surface. Unexpectedly, it didn't matter if it was knocked, hundreds of small tree lizards "swished" out of the cracks in this broken wall. These little green creatures have the same color as the plants in the jungle, except for the blood-red eyes and tongue, which are the size of fingers. The tree lizards, which usually hide in the cracks of the broken wall, were alarmed and fled from the rammed earth pile and scurried around.

The fat man was also startled by them, and picked up a pickaxe and a sapper shovel and slapped them indiscriminately, turning many small tree lizards into meatloaf.

Shirley Yang pressed the fat man's hand and told him to stop: "These little tree lizards don't hurt people, they only eat mosquitoes on weekdays, why can't you get along with them." ”

I suddenly noticed that almost all of these little tree lizards ran out of the valley when they fled in panic, or climbed the plants on both sides, and were beaten by the fat man, but none of them ran away into the depths of the valley. Not only the tree lizards, but also the mosquitoes flying around, the tree bugs, beetles, and dragonflies on the plants, past this broken wall, there are almost no insects and animals on the other side of the valley, it seems that here is a death dividing line, even the insects living in the valley do not dare to cross the thunder pond half a step.
