Chapter 105: The water is thirteen meters deep
The sound from the bottom of the river has not stopped, and suddenly I heard the ......sound of falling water one after another behind me, and the density of the sound is so high that in the end, the gap between the sound of falling water can hardly be heard, as if I saw the figurines hanging above the river before, all of which were put into the water by copper chains.
The fat man scolded to himself: "him***, it's not good, I'm afraid those guys are going to turn into water ghosts and overturn our boat." After saying that, he took the "Jianwei" off his back and pushed open the magazine to load the steel balls.
I also felt that there must be an abnormal situation behind it, so I turned back to look, but the bamboo raft had already sailed away from the section of the river where the figurines were hung, and there was no strong searchlight behind the bamboo raft, and the cave behind was pitch black, and the tactical spotlights on the mountaineering helmets could not play much role at all in this kind of place, and the theoretical irradiation distance of fifteen meters could be illuminated within six meters at most after the aperture was gathered to the limit.
Because in an absolutely dark place, it is difficult for a single person to use the light of a tactical flashlight to make a difference, Shirley Yang, who was sitting at the end of the bamboo raft, looked back twice, and couldn't see clearly, and said to me and the fat man urgently: "Don't care what is behind you, use all your strength to paddle the bamboo raft as soon as possible, and strive to rush out of this section of the river before being overtaken." ”
I promised, "Okay, full speed ahead." "I turned on the searchlight at the front, picked up the bamboo pole, and prepared to use the bamboo pole to support the rock wall to add the greatest forward support to the bamboo raft.
Unexpectedly, a pillar of light like a strong searchlight solidified shot out, illuminating the straight river in front of it. More than 100 meters away, there is also a place where more than 100 figurines are hung with copper chains, the light of the searchlight is too strong and too bright, and there is a very terrifying effect on the gray-brown human skin, and those figurines are like countless hanged ghosts, swaying in the narrow mid-air of the river, and they are fascinated by reading and playing 6 Gu Si Limei? br>
The sound of the mechanism in the river sounded again, stirring up a series of echoes in the empty cave, and I saw that the chains of the hanging figurines in front of them fell off one after another, and a human figure seemed to be a bomb dropped from a bomber, and "plop tom" fell into the river one after another. In an instant, in front of the pillar of bright searchlight, only hundreds of empty chains remained.
This time, it is almost certain that the river that transported materials during the construction of the "Tomb of the Offering King" must have set up a mechanism in the river after the burial of the Offering the King, but it is not certain for the time being that the figurines that were used as "shells" were put into the water.
This time I came back to Shalong Mountain in Yunnan, it was really unfavorable, and before I entered the valley of the Snake River, I went astray first. I am afraid that no one has traveled this river since the Han Dynasty, but the heavy rainfall these days washed our bamboo rafts in, and the relatively safe route was missed.
I cursed in my heart, but the raft continued to move forward, and the river in front of me was quiet, not even the slightest wave. It was as if the figurines had fallen into the water and had sunk to the bottom, and there was no movement. Even the ripples caused by an object falling into the water don't seem to exist.
My experience of participating in wars in the past has taught me that the calmer it is, the more great dangers and turmoil are brewing in it. I subconsciously pulled out the sapper shovel, this sapper shovel is the treasure of the big gold tooth in Beijing, it is the equipment of the first division of the United States Marine Corps captured by the volunteers during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, it has been well collected so far, it is definitely the best among the top tools, and there is a symbol commemorating the battle of Kuah Island. The price is so high that I was a little reluctant to use it, but at this time I couldn't take much of it, and I made up my mind that whatever would come out of the water for a while, I would pat it with a shovel first.
Shirley Young also took out the pistol, opened the safe, and loaded the bullet. We were ready and let the raft drift slowly forward. Now that we have fallen into the situation of being caught between the front and back, we have to deal with it calmly, and after we have figured out the situation, we will strive to be able to strike at the rear, and there is no need to blindly rush forward.
However, we opened the posture and prepared for a long time, the river in front of us was still calm as before, at this time the bamboo raft had drifted into a section of the river where the chains were in the air, and the thick chain with green mottled traces on the head hung coldly in the air, I gritted my teeth, damn it, it was too calm, behind this calm, there must be a problem, what is it? It seems that the forms of revolutionary struggle are becoming more and more complicated.
At this time, the answer appeared under the river, and the river water suddenly burst out like a boiling pot, and I hurriedly lowered the angle of the strong searchlight, and forgot that the river water shone through, and the pillar of light passed through the water, just shining on a half-sunken human figure.
The dry skin of the figurines was soaked in the river water, and cracks appeared on the gray-brown human skin, and the originally vague human face became clear after being soaked in the river water. It turned out that the faces of these figurines were covered with mud before they died, and after eating the "scabies", they used mud to block the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, anus and other seven orifices and suffocated to death, so the facial contours were blurred, and the deceased still maintained a tragic expression of pain and struggle before death. At this time, the light was illuminated, and the flow and obstruction of the river water, the light changed, as if the countless human figurines had been resurrected in the river, it was really terrifying, and I even trembled a little when I controlled the strong searchlight, I had never seen such a terrible situation.
The cracks that appeared on the figurines' bodies were gradually expanding and swollen, turning into cracks, and bubbles were constantly coming out from the figurines' eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and the cracks in the body, and many dried insect eggs emerged from them.
The eggs were alive when they saw the water, just like a dry sponge absorbing water, and they rapidly expanded, and their bodies turned into "water buoys" the size of white paper belly, and fins like little finger caps grew on both sides, and they swam extremely fast, swimming towards the bamboo raft at full speed.
We were shocked to learn that this is the "water bee" in Yunnan Province, a shallow water insect that likes to attach itself to floating objects to lay eggs. Sometimes in the paddy fields of Yunnan, Guangxi, Vietnam and other places, the buffalo that is plowing suddenly jumps up and runs wildly like crazy, that is, it is bitten by "water bees".
The fat man had never seen this kind of "water bee" only in Jiangxi and other places, and when he saw these strange white things flying towards the bamboo rafts, he used the bamboo pole in his hand to slap them, causing a large splash of water.
I was afraid that the fat man would overturn the bamboo raft in a panic, so I hurriedly said to him: "It's okay, don't be too nervous, although these water bees bite people very well, but they can't fly out of the water, as long as we are on the bamboo raft and don't fall into the water, we don't have to worry." ”
Seeing that those white-flowered "water bees" gathered more and more, layered under the bamboo raft, the number was too large to count. In the distance, more "water bees" are constantly joining, although there are many of them, but they are not a threat to the people on the raft for the time being.
The fat man scolded: "**, why are there so many, is this all out of those people's skins?" Is this a bug or a fish?
I told the fat man that this was an aquatic insect, and the fat man felt a little relieved, "That's okay, I usually only hear people say that piranhas in the water are very powerful, if only the insects are nothing, no matter how powerful the insects are, they can't eat people." ”
Shirley Young said to the fat man: "Actually, insects are the most powerful species in the world. It's just that the size limits their power, the strength and vitality of insects are the strongest on the earth, and more insects can bite people to death, and even some highly poisonous insects can solve an elephant with one piece. ”
We kept using sapper shovels to knock down the "water bees" attached to the front end of the bamboo raft, but there were too many "water bees", and we could only knock out the side of the bamboo raft. At the bottom of the we're helpless, I comforted the fat man and Shirley Yang and said: "We just need to keep the balance of the bamboo raft, this kind of water bee is not a big deal, I also ate a pot in Vietnam, the protein content is very high, better than the silkworm pupa delicious Deduo, and the skin shrimp has a taste, and the bamboo raft sailed out of this river, let's boil these water bees to eat, and also sacrifice to the five internal organs temple." ”
The fat man said: "If you want to eat it yourself, it is all crawling out of the skin of a dead man, and I won't eat a bite of it even if it tastes like a lobster." ”
Shirley Yang said to me: "Don't be too optimistic first, so many water bees, since they are parasitic in the dead corpses with a lot of painstaking techniques, I'm afraid it's not so simple, after a period of time to come into contact with various types of hemorrhoidal materials, I found that hemorrhoids have one of the biggest commonalities." ”
I kept in my hands, while patting the "water bees" near the bamboo raft, while paddling the bamboo raft forward, trying to sail out of Shalong Mountain as soon as possible, at this time listening to Shirley Yang's words, suddenly my heart moved, recalled the terrain in the coffin shop of the stone tablet shop, and couldn't help asking: "What are the characteristics you are talking about...... Conversion? ”
Shirley Yang said: "Exactly, the scab technique seems to be using the soul of the deceased as a medium to transfer the resentful soul to the rest of the creatures, so that the non-toxic and harmless creatures become deadly weapons or poisons, of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg that we have come into contact with, these water bees raised in the human corpse with ancient hemorrhoids will never be as simple as ordinary water bees, but we have limited information, and we don't know the real mystery of the king sacrifice technique, and I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd." ”
When the fat man heard us say this, he couldn't help but get anxious: "It seems that the old zongzi of Xianwang likes to play yin, likes to do things around the bend, and refuses to be refreshing and cheerful when he harms people. ”
As I spoke, the bamboo raft had carried us through this straight river and into a larger cave, which was already full of water, and I swept it around with a strong searchlight, and the big empty cave was the size of two football fields, and there was only one exit on the opposite side, and the water continued to flow from there, and I looked at the compass, and it was southwest, which meant that there was no problem with the direction, let the bamboo raft drift over there, and finally it would definitely pass through the huge cave under the Shalong Mountain, and flow into the snake river in the Worm Valley.
At this time, I don't know how many "water bees" are attached to the bottom of the bamboo raft, and the bamboo raft is dropped into the water, and if you increase the weight, it is possible that the river water will not reach the surface of your feet, and it will be miserable. The reason why we are not afraid of "water bees" is that there are bamboo rafts that can float on the water. However, if we say that there are so many ways to use the Zokova Umbrella Guard, and the Trick of Changing the Strange Dome of the Wild Qiong, it is something that people can never imagine what the hidden tricks are.
From the time we entered the river to take a bamboo raft to start rafting began to estimate, in the "Shalong Mountain" under the distance has passed two-thirds, as long as we insist on sticking out of the mountain, as soon as we go ashore, we don't have to worry about the things in the water, just tried my best to paddle with a bamboo pole for a long time, my hands and legs are numb, and I can no longer move, Y Yang threw a buoy with a barometer into the water, measured the depth of the water, the water is very deep, about thirteen meters, a not very auspicious depth.
Seeing that this huge cave is in the ancient dolomite formation, belonging to the formation of the fourth quarter of the ice age, surrounded by clusters of huge mushroom-shaped X (I don't know what words, it is difficult to describe, forgive me for being hungry) stones, and some places seem to be a clump of large coral raised from the water, and its scenery is so strange that it is difficult to describe. The three of us were all amazed by these rare landscapes of the Primeval Martial Umbrella Rock Formations, greedily watching each of the fantastic mushroom umbrella-shaped rocks, letting the bamboo raft drift towards the exit, and forgetting to continue to drive away the "water bees" swarming in the water.
The exit ahead is the same as before, a straight waterway that has been processed by man, and from there it should not take too long to get out of the interior of Mt. Shalong.
However, just as the bamboo raft was carrying the three of us, halfway through the huge mushroom rock cave, we heard the sound of stones in the corner of the cave, and in the darkness there seemed to be some behemoth, moving rapidly in the mushroom rock at the edge of the cave.
Shirley Yang reminded me, "Old Hu, turn the searchlight around." ”
I then remembered that there was a strong searchlight, and I hurriedly turned the angle of the strong searchlight, and shone it over, and the strong beam of light of the searchlight swept there, and the rolling sound of the sparse gravel stopped abruptly, only to see that in the mushroom rock, there was a blue-scaled python, facing us with its head held high, this python was also too big, three times thicker than the large water tank, it was simply a cyan dragon without claws. The scales on the body flickered ominously under the searchlight, presumably it grew in the forest of the Worm Valley, because the python was greedy for a shady environment, so it took this big cave as a nest, and usually went out to hunt, so it hid here to sleep, but somehow was alarmed by us.
The blue-scaled python paused slightly, and suddenly blew a bloody whirlwind, and the snake swam down the mushroom rock, a huge and wild body, knocking out countless fine powders from the white mushroom rock where it passed, more like a giant dragon wrapped in the white dust mist, galloping with a swift wind, swimming into the water at a very fast speed, after the blue-scaled python entered the water, the mushroom rock dust rolled up by it has never completely fallen, but it has already swam to our bamboo raft from the depths of the water, like a swift wind.
