Chapter 11: Another Tomb Robber
According to Da Bai Niu, her grandfather was a moral ** official, who was once a military training instructor of Qinghai King Ma Hongkui during the warlord melee, and found this relic by chance during a mission. His grandfather came to this place with a platoon of more than thirty people, but only three of them made it out alive. Her grandfather, who survived, was also seriously injured and died shortly after his return. Her grandfather told her father about the experience, and he told her as if it were a story. But what her father didn't expect was that the big white girl actually memorized this story very carefully, and found a group of friends to come to this place again decades later.
She and her friends planned it, and knowing that they wouldn't be able to get here, she found a local tomb robber gang and told them about the situation, on the condition that she would bring them in. At first, the group of tomb robbers did not believe in a few foreigners, but this foreigner was able to speak fluent Chinese, and said the topography of that area, so he sent people here to step on the plate, and finally found that there was really such an ancient ruin. At that moment, I brought dozens of people here with these foreigners.
After that, they met almost the same as us, in the "Brahma", they met the roar, they were almost completely destroyed, and after entering the stone room, they met the "Kasanmani" and finally there were only a few people left, and all the friends of the big white girl had died on the way. The big white girl herself was injured, and she knew that the few people who survived were not good things, so she found an excuse to escape halfway, and happened to be bumped into by the two of us.
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the big white girl, I thought to myself: It is said that this foreigner loves to die, it turns out to be true. Just for the legend of a grandfather, he really dared to run to this wilderness with a gang of tomb robbers. However, their family may inherit good luck, otherwise so many people have died, why are these grandparents and grandchildren fine? Unexpectedly, there was another wave of tomb robbers here, which made things more and more complicated, and I asked, "Do you know where the tomb robbers who came with you have gone?" How many more of them are there? ”
Lisa looked at me and said, "Five of them are still alive, and the rest are dead." ”
Just as I was about to ask more, a huge beam of light suddenly appeared, who turned on the searchlight, but I don't know if it was the pangolin, the monk, or another group of tomb robbers? I climbed out of the stone pit on Nangong's body, and then pulled the two of them up. At this time, I looked around along the beam and was stunned. I thought this place was surprisingly big, but when I saw this place clearly, I realized how big this place really was.
The site is a funnel-shaped terrain with high terrain around it and low terrain in the center, with a diameter of about a dozen kilometers. At this time, we are close to the mountain wall and are on relatively high ground, so we can see farther away with the help of searchlights. It is surrounded by cliffs, and at the bottom of the ruins is a huge underground lake, the entire surface of which is covered with a thick fog. Looking down from above, I could see a small island in the center of the underground lake, and on that small island, I could faintly see several human buildings, but the fog was so thick that I couldn't be sure if it was. Are there really relics of the ancients in this place? Just as I was in the middle of the shock, the beam suddenly disappeared, and my eyes suddenly turned into darkness again.
I looked at Nangong Ruomo and asked, "Do we want to go over and find those people now?" ”
Nangong Ruomo looked at the injured big white girl, then looked at me, nodded and said, "Let's go, if you rely on the three of us, you won't be able to get out at all." ”
I stood up, picked up the big white girl, and asked her if she could still walk on her own. Li Sha nodded, and Nangong and I walked in the direction of the light with her. We walked for a long time, but still didn't meet anyone, in fact, the probability of our two groups of people meeting is basically zero, not to mention that they will not stop there and wait for us, even if they do stop there, we just rely on the light to have a general direction, if our direction of travel is a little deviation, then we can only pass by.
Just as I was about to stop to discuss with the two of them, a terrible scream came over me, and it seemed quite familiar. The three of us walked quickly along to the scream, which was intermittent, but gradually weakened. We walked for about ten minutes, and finally we saw a faint light ahead. We walked towards the light.
When we got closer, we finally saw four people standing there, it was the monk and the three tomb robbers, they were all right! At this time, Li Dakui and the middle-aged man with a black face were lying on the ground, their faces a little weak.
The three of us stepped forward and said hello to the monk and the lean man. The lean man was a little hostile to the big white girl, but at this point he was clearly at a disadvantage, so he just asked her some of the questions we had asked and stood aside.
I walked over to the monk and said, "Great, you guys are coming out too, I thought you were going to be trapped inside." ”
The monk smiled at me and nodded, and said, "When we were attacked by Kasanmani, I saw a man open the mechanism and rush out. I didn't follow them to save them, but I saw where the mechanism was. Later, when I saw the two of you going out, I felt a lot more relieved. ”
This monk is really a bad person, what can these tomb robbers save me? I looked at Li Dakui and the black-faced man lying on the ground, they seemed to have food poisoning, their faces were a little yellow, they were lying there motionless, as if they had fainted, were the two of them screaming just now?
Just as I was observing them, Li Dakui's originally lying flat body suddenly spasmed, and he was instantly woken up by the pain, letting out a burst of screams. The black-faced middle-aged man next to him also suddenly began to convulsion and began to scream loudly, the sound was extremely penetrating, and I had goosebumps when I heard it. The two men screamed for ten minutes and then fainted again.
Looking at the monk, I stepped forward and asked, "What happened to the two of them?" ”
The monk looked at me and said, "The two of them are possessed by the 'Kasanmani', and when the souls of the two are devoured by the evil spirits, the evil spirits will crawl out of their bodies to find new substitutes. ”
Looking at the monk's serious expression, I was faintly amused in my heart, listening to the monk tell those ethereal Buddhist legends is like listening to a very serious person tell a bad joke. I thought for a moment and asked, "Is the 'Sangya leaf' you said here?" ”
The monk nodded and said, "It's like a bowl, and the stars appear when it's dark." The gas is at room temperature, no wind and more sulfur nitrate. There are small islands at the bottom, which are endless and unattainable, and boating in the lake, the pulp does not stop in vain. ”
Listening to him read this paragraph, I thought to myself which down-and-out Xiu wrote it. The sentence was not right, and he couldn't even express the meaning clearly, so he asked a little teasingly: "Is this what the Buddhist scriptures say?" ”
The monk shook his head and said, "This paragraph is mentioned in the "Cangming Collection" of a high monk in the late Qing Dynasty, and the high monk wandered around in order to avoid the war and saw a lot of strange places. In his later years, he wrote his experience into this "Cangming Collection". ”
I then asked, "Do you know what these words mean?" I only understood the first two sentences for a long time, as if they were describing the scene here, and the last two sentences were completely unmeant. ”
The monk shook his head and said, "There are some things that you will only understand when you go through them. ”
Looking at the monk's somewhat confused but still firm eyes, I suddenly felt that this guy was actually not so weird, but he knew more than others and pursued further. Just as I was in my trance, the two guys lying on the ground began to convulse again, but this time it lasted longer, a full twenty minutes, and the two of them did not stop.
Seeing this, the monk chanted sutras to the two of them and patted them on the other, as if that would alleviate the pain on them. However, the two of them did not have a relaxed expression, and although their voices were already hoarse, they still instinctively kept howling.
Suddenly, the writhing bodies of the two people stopped at the same time, and they lay quietly on the ground. After a while, the two of them had bigger and bigger bellies, and after a while, they became like pregnant women. Then there were two sounds of leather cracking, and the stomachs of both men burst open one after the other, squirting out countless small beetles. Countless small beetles slowly crawled out of the stomachs of the two people, could this be the larvae of "Kasang Mani"? Those damn guys actually lay eggs inside people! Watching these dense little guys continue to pour out of the stomachs of the two people, I felt that my stomach couldn't help but feel sour, but after so much, I was somewhat immune to this scene, and I hurriedly retreated to endure the discomfort in my stomach.
The monk was miserable, because he was too close to the two of them, and his body was sprinkled with the larvae of "Kasang Mani", and I could see that I had goosebumps all over my body. But he unhurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, took off his clothes, and slowly shook off the larvae on his body.
The larvae on the two corpses gathered more and more, and after a while, they crawled all over their bodies. I really don't know how these larvae hatched, but it has only been a long time before they hatch directly, which is not like a creature of this world. However, what was even more bizarre was that these larvae actually began to devour the two corpses, and it didn't take long for the two corpses on the ground to become bloody, and in just five minutes, the two corpses had already revealed their white bones.
I'm about to retreat with Nangong and Da Bai Niu, and God knows if these guys will turn their heads and attack us after eating these two corpses. But before we could move, the larvae fell from the corpse one by one, and lay motionless on all fours, in our vernacular language.
These guys all died at birth, did they all die? Although the things I encountered when I came to this ruin were very strange, I still couldn't accept such nonsense. Those female worms went to such great lengths to plant their eggs in human bodies, is it just to let these little ones come out to eat a full meal, and then hold themselves to death? And we didn't see the corpses of the larvae in the stone chamber either.
Just as I was thinking, Nangong walked up to my side and brought a breeze, and I suddenly smelled the smell of sulfur in the air. By the way, the environment here is different from the stone chamber, and there is more of this sulfur smell. Can't these big husks survive where there's brimstone? When I thought of this, I was suddenly shocked: if all this was designed by man, and these "Kasanmani" were regarded as the guardian beasts of this ruin, and at the same time they could be controlled from entering and destroying, then who could make such a precise layout? What is there to cover up with such a huge project?
