Chapter 19: Black Lake Shao
I drank what the little ghost handed me, and suddenly I felt my stomach tumble and vomited. Daikin kept patting me on the back and looked at the little ghost with an inquiring look.
Xiao Clever shook his head: "That's rice wine, this kid has fallen into evil, and if you don't drink some rice wine, you will have sequelae." ”
I vomited all the dirt, drank a few sips of water and rinsed my mouth, and suddenly felt much smoother in body and mind, and couldn't help but be grateful to the little wit: "Thank you." "Although this little clever person is not very good, he really has some ability.
The little clever nodded: "This is what should be done in the next, and also, in the lower is a literati, and you can do the general heavy work, I only do the treasure eye." ”
Dajin said: "That's nature. ”
I was puzzled when I heard it, the treasure eye is the jargon of the earth rake. That is, the eye of the dragon point treasure cave, this kind of person is generally knowledgeable, or has the skill of finding the dragon, or is proficient in feng shui yin house. And Guo Guoling is a descendant of Guo Fa, and there is no need to doubt his ability. But what I wonder is, Guo Guoling has such a capable treasure eye, why should he follow us two green skins?
You know, tomb robbery is not a job that can be completed by one person, and scattered thieves like us naturally do not pay attention to it, but it is said that some people steal and dig the underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum, looking for dragons, point points, open holes, explore holes, look at the wind, and respond, all of which are indispensable. Every large-scale tomb robbery operation is called the Clamp Lama, the initiator of the Clamp Lama is called "Pankou", the dragon point is called "Baoyan", the cadre who explores the cave is called "Rake General", and the person responsible for looking at the wind is called "Fengdu"
In a team, the "handicap" is often a ruthless tomb robber who belongs to the soul of the team. The role of the "treasure eye" is to find the dragon point, break the mechanism, and belong to the team's head.
When a team's 'handicap' dies, it can also be replaced by the most capable person in the "rake". But if "Treasure Eye" dies, no one can take his place. Because the ability of "Treasure Eye" is not something that can be learned alone. So a good "treasure eye" is very popular in the tomb robbery world, but why does Guo Guoling follow us?
Could it be Daikin's charisma?
I glanced at Dajin, who was dragging his fat figure around, wearing an earthy yellow coat, sunglasses, and his usual big back. Seeing his appearance, I couldn't help but shake my head, I had to ask Daikin about the origin of this little clever man when I had time.
After walking down the railroad tracks for a while, we stopped.
Not because we came across anything, but because of ...... There is no way.
In front of it is a mountain, a tunnel has been dug and the railroad tracks run through the mountain. And this tunnel actually collapsed, and the broken rocks blocked the tunnel. It seems that it has been some years, and perhaps this is the reason why the railroad tracks are deserted, and the cost of repairing the tunnel to open the railroad tracks is much higher than the benefits of the rails, so the tunnel is naturally ignored.
How did the train pass? My mind suddenly imagined the scene of the "ghost train" passing through the mountain.
"What should I do?" The little ghost spoke. He looked at the tunnel with a look full of jealousy, and said to Dajin, who was eager to try: "Don't think about passing through this tunnel...... It's going to kill you. ”
I looked around and said, "Climb over there." ”
The mountain is not very high, the slope is gentle, and the climb is not very difficult.
None of the three were inkblot people, and they climbed up the mountain beam a few times. The girder is relatively wide, and it can be estimated that the tunnel is nearly 100 meters long. Climbing up the girder, you soon see a shaft in front of you, which is covered with barbed wire.
"What is this?" I'm a little curious.
The little ghost looked at the shaft, and suddenly came to his senses, cleared his throat and said: "In my opinion, this should be a shaft used for tunneling, the stone here is very hard, open from the middle, and then chisel from the inside out, hey, hey, don't get close to it" The little ghost's voice became sharp.
It was too late for him to speak, and I had already poked my head over and looked in. By daylight, I saw a train car, badly deformed by stones, and there was something on the emergency port above the carriage that seemed to be moving.
The emergency entrance was in the shadows, so I couldn't see it clearly.
Curiosity caused me to stick my head down again.
Now I saw clearly, it was a smashed unrecognizable human face, which had dried up to waxy yellow, half of the mouth had been dropped, and two eyeballs were bulging out. It can be seen that it has been dead for a long time, but it is moving, just one after the other.
Dajin came over and pulled me: "Lu An, don't look at it!" Infiltrating ......"
I waved my hand: "You wait! Seeing this, Daikin also glanced curiously into the shaft.
The little ghost opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, just sneered.
I want to see what that face is! Could it be a deception? My heart suddenly went from fear to excitement, and this was the second time I had seen a walking corpse.
The man's face seemed to see me, two bursting eyes staring at it, and his cracked mouth moved in a strange sound.
"Hiss......"
I suddenly got a little scared.
The man's face suddenly flew, yes, it flew.
So fluttering, flying towards the top of this shaft, that is, my face.
I finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled Daikin back.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and a huge object crashed into the shaft.
I saw that the face was squeezed to pieces by the iron mesh, revealing something black behind it, golden pupils, dark scales.
It's a big black snake with a thick bowl!
The black snake was walking around the tunnel with a human face on its head, and when he saw me, he simply rushed up. The black snake was so powerful that it slammed into the iron mesh of the shaft.
"Run!" Dajin pulled me who was stunned and ran away, and then looked at the little cleverness, I had already run fifty meters away.
After running for a while, the black snake did not chase after him, and did not seem to have broken through the iron net. But the little clever still didn't mean to stop, trotting all the way and taking us over the mountain beam before stopping.
We've gone through the tunnel and back to the tracks.
The little clever sat on the railroad tracks, gasping for breath, and scolding while panting: "I said you are a deflated calf, are you lacking in heart, why are you going to provoke that thing?" ”
I was so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits calmed down a little, and immediately said angrily: "How did I know that there was such a goblin in it, damn it, you know that you didn't say it earlier, and you ran faster than anyone else!" ”
The little ghost sneered and said, "Goblin? Hehe, let me tell you, that thing is the god of this mountain...... I won't tell you more, eat a trench and grow wise, if you don't listen to me again, don't blame me next time you die. ”
I still wanted to fight back, but Daikin slapped me and said, "Anzi, do you look familiar?" ”
I stood up and swept the familiar mountain, the distant village ...... "No Denburg?" ”
"Yes." Dajin nodded, and said meaningfully to the little wit: "Little wit, we are all here to ask for money, don't have personal prejudices, when this time it is done, my brother will give you a share." ”
The little wit sighed, but said convincingly: "Don't worry, Brother Jin." ”
I was surprised by the change in the momentum of the little ghost, from the outside, the little ghost is a high-minded and arrogant person, of course, he also has the ability to be arrogant, why would he believe in me, a big golden brother who is just a little slippery?
There must be a story in it.
Seeing the town was like seeing hope, and we trotted all the way to the town. More than half a year has passed, and the town is still as poor as ever. There are mahjong tables on the street, and a group of idlers shouting and playing cards.
Relying on memory, we came to the only small restaurant in town, and nothing changed. The boss is still the same boss, but his face is a little older. I vividly remember him saying to help me, but he didn't recognize me anymore.
The boss saw that our head of the line was a foreigner, and ran over and said attentively: "What to eat?" ”
Daikin generously asked for a few dishes, it was rare to have such a big business, and the boss's face was smiling.
After ordering, Daikin patted the table and said, "Boss, come and talk." ”
The boss was stunned for a moment, nodded and sat down, and said, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”
Dajin smiled heartily and said, "The mountain behind our town is strange and beautiful, do you want to ask if it has any allusions?" ”
"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, the boss's face became even more weird: "Brother, that mountain is beautiful?" I'm afraid that any place is much more beautiful than that, and I advise you not to go near it. After that, he added: "There are no treasures there." ”
When Dajin heard this, he snorted awkwardly: "I just look at the unique mountain and ask." "We also looked at the boss inquiringly, and he must know something.
Seeing this, the boss could only nod, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth and said, "There have been people dead there, many people, have you seen the current village?" These people are lazy and gluttonous, and they don't learn anything. To put it mildly, it's scum. ”
When he said this, Daikin and I nodded in agreement, but the little ghost listened carefully and did not express an opinion.
The boss continued: "But ten years ago, it wasn't like that. The boss took a sharp puff of his cigarette and spit it out. Looking back: "Although we were poor at that time, we were very simple. Later, a train was opened here, and the villagers relied on this railway to live better and better. But it didn't take long for something terrible to happen. The boss's eyes turned terrified.
"What's wrong?" I can't wait to ask.
The boss took a few more puffs of cigarette and said, "Our town has begun to be attacked by monsters, some chickens and dogs have disappeared inexplicably, and even hunters who have gone into the mountains to hunt have died. A hunter who was lucky enough to escape said that he had encountered a huge 'Black Lake Shao'. ”
Seeing our puzzled expressions, the boss explained: "It is a kind of snake, the largest can grow to the thickness of a bucket, and when this thing moves, its body can bring a gust of black wind." However, this kind of snake does not hurt people, and the old people say that this is the guardian saint of the mountains, but it is indeed this snake that attacks us. ”
The little wit looked thoughtful and said, "Go on." ”
The boss continued: "Later we learned that when the train was digging a tunnel, we dug a snake's nest. What's even stranger is that there is a bunch of snakes wrapped around a coffin in the snake nest! ”
Coffin! The eyes of all three of us lit up at the same time.
The boss didn't seem to notice our abnormality, and said, "When the coffin was dug up, the old man in the engineering team said that this was a mountain temple and that it could not be dug and had to be diverted." How can the set route be easily changed? In the tide of cracking down on feudal superstition, the captain of the engineering team burned the snake's nest clean. It is said that after the snake's nest burned, a woman's screams were heard inside. ”
"Stupid!" The little ghost slapped the table and stood up, scolding, "Are those people stupid? It's just looking for death! ”
We were all taken aback by the little cleverness, but fortunately it was not a meal at this time, and we were the only ones at the restaurant table. The boss hurriedly signaled: "Brother, be quiet, this matter is taboo in the village." ”
The little ghost exhaled twice, sat down and asked, "What about the coffin?" The snake nest is not important, the coffin is important! ”
The boss said: "Listen to me slowly, the day after the engineering team burned the snake nest, the captain died mysteriously, and then the deputy team...... Anyway, half of them died in a month. The captain was also a shrewd man, and knew that there might be something of value in the coffin, and it is said that they opened it. But the people who opened the coffin were all dead, and the coffin ended up where it went. There were so many dead people that it alarmed the higher-ups. The army was sent from above, and it took half a year to dig the tunnel. ”
The little ghost nodded again and again: "Fortunately, fortunately...... If the coffin was gone, it is estimated that this piece would have suffered a catastrophe long ago, you continued. ”
The boss glanced at the little clever man strangely and said, "After the tunnel was dug through, strange things began to happen in the town. The villagers often heard the sound of women crying and laughing in the tunnel in the back mountain, and they did not dare to go in to see it. The strange thing went on until ...... A catastrophe is coming. ”
