Chapter 5: Trapped Dragon Pond
I think it's strange, could it be that this egg has given the dog courage? Thinking about it carefully, I feel ridiculous, I just think that the egg in the fat man's hand is a very magical thing, don't make such a fuss, the sleepy insect immediately came up again, I was really tired after walking for a day, and I fell asleep again. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
I woke up at dawn in the morning, ready to find something to eat while the fat man was still sleeping, as soon as I got out of the tent, I didn't know what it was buzzing everywhere, thinking it was a bloodsucking mosquito, I was so scared that I quickly shrank my head, woke up the fat man, two people stayed in the tent and didn't know what to do, and I didn't know if the two people got up, so they shouted at the top of their voices, don't come out, there are a lot of things outside, and they will die when they go out.
There was a tall response right away, I know, the dog with thick eyebrows ran out, and I don't know what happened, we didn't dare to show our heads.
A few people waited for a long time, and from time to time they looked through the gap in the door curtain, and they didn't look like mosquitoes at all, no matter how big the mosquito was, it was impossible to lose that needle-like mouth, and the wings would not be like flowers when they stopped there, and they had two big front legs like sickles. This thing seems to be a grinding praying mantis, I remember hearing of it somewhere before, but these are obviously much bigger than I thought, and they don't seem to be aggressive for the time being, but no one dares to venture out easily.
It wasn't a solution to be so stiff, I had to find a way to get out of this place, so I totaled it with the fat man, dismantled a dozen bullets, found a piece of cloth and wrapped all the gunpowder inside, set aside a section as an introduction, lit the introduction and threw it through the gap in the curtain on the firewood that had been extinguished last night. Then I can only pray for the protection of the gods, the mountains and forests are too wet, and the firewood that can still be lit last night is afraid that the fire will be extinguished by us before going to bed, and I don't know if it is useless now.
It seems that it is useless to pray to the gods, the cloth strip burned out the gunpowder, but the firewood did not respond, the fat man did not give up, and tore another strip of cloth, and shouted that they were together, and the four people did not know how many bullets and strips of cloth were used, and the firewood did not know whether it was ignited by gunpowder or by the strip of cloth, and after a few rounds, it crackled and burned more and more.
No matter what animals and plants are still afraid of fire and smoke in the end, when we come out again, these grinding praying mantis are almost gone, and when Thick Eyebrows comes out, they look for dogs everywhere, and find a pile of dog bones neatly placed there behind his tent, and several of us have a little numb scalps, as if we have been shaved raw, not to mention how miserable. If we had come out just now, I'm afraid it would have been much the same.
Don't dare to delay any longer, while the fire has not been extinguished quickly pack up things and run to the mountain, and from time to time will encounter a few single grinding mantis, without saying a word, the gun in the hand will be smashed on the net, the butt of the gun is smashed out of the print, the body was also smashed into mud, the sickle of the grinding mantis is not broken, the hardness can be seen in general.
When we arrived at the mountain, there were a few tents set up on a slightly gentler ground, and there was a pile of unburned firewood on the side, and the guys and equipment for eating on the ground were all there, but I didn't see a single person, probably because these people didn't expect us to come so quickly, and went out to catch game, so they simply stayed where they were and waited.
The fat man was a little unhappy and shouted at the top of his voice, what are ****** going to do? And there's no bit of organizational discipline anymore.
I don't think there's anything, people are alive and the rules are dead, just tell the fat man, people are iron, rice is steel, a meal is not eaten and hungry panic, the organization is also people also have to eat, we have to allow the organization to fill the stomach and then come to us to talk about discipline, otherwise the organization will starve to death, who will dare us to talk about discipline.
Several people also relaxed from the nervous interest just now, and the thick eyebrows continued: "You said that you just met the magic flower mantis at the bottom of the mountain, and you shaved the dog to only bones, why didn't you scratch our tent?" ”
The fat man really wanted to understand: "That's not simple, we are all hiding in the tent, those beasts will definitely not eat vegetarian, of course they will not move the tent, the dog is different, of course the big lump of meat has to eat it first, you say this I seem to understand, the dog shivered before did he find this magic flower mantis?" ”
The sky is a little dark, or no half of the person appeared, I feel a little strange in my heart, most of the day has passed, if I want to go out to hunt some game, I should come back, after all, there is a task in the body to go out without permission is a disciplinary thing, in case it is not good to be found and stabbed, those old fritters will not count this at all.
While the sky is not completely dark we split up to find someone, it's really hard to find it late, except for the direction we just came up, the remaining three sides are divided into two groups, I and the fat man group, tall and thick eyebrows group to search down the mountain, and when we return to the station, the sky has completely darkened, the result is the same, nothing, only the last side is not down to search, that side is a half-mountain, not far to become an almost straight steep cliff, standing on the top of the mountain can see the bottom, I started thinking that they wouldn't be stupid enough to run on the road to despair, so I gave up that side for a while.
Now it's getting dark, and if we look for this kind of terrain, even if we have a flashlight in our hands, we will be very dangerous, but if we don't look for it, those guys in the station will be even more dangerous than us, and their equipment and supplies are all here.
In the end, the pure revolutionary friendship between our comrades-in-arms overcame the fear of the unknown, and the four of them searched for the edge of the cliff in the dark, the mountain was too dark, for the sake of safety, it was still a group of two people to search separately, and the separation between them was less than five meters or so, so that no matter who had an accident, others could come over in the shortest possible time.
Because the sky was too dark, and it was overgrown with weeds on the edge of the cliff, even if we held a flashlight in our hands, we had to be careful, and the speed was naturally not as fast as the daytime, until it was almost dawn, and we searched half of the mountain, and several people would gather together to find the edge of the cliff.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, a cool and refreshing feeling comes to the face, the middle of the cliff wall spews out a water column to form a waterfall and flows into the pool water at the bottom, the depth is not bottomless, occasionally you can see a few swimming fish come out, and the scales on the body are reflected by the morning sun to reflect the sparkling waves.
No one has ever entered this mountain forest before, we have never heard of such a magical place with you, see the following situation clearly, and assure Chairman Mao that I seem to have heard who told me about this place, and I remembered my grandfather when I was a child, when he gave me the story of the ancient seal of Qimen, he seemed to have talked about the same place as this, the middle of the mountain drained for 10,000 years, the nine soldiers in the pond watched, and the trapped evil dragon ascended to heaven. It seems to be called 'Sleepy Dragon Pond'
The flowing water hole on the cliff is to feed the nine guardian fish in the pool, the guard fish is to guard the evil dragon trapped under the pool, if the hole does not run water, the fish will die due to the lack of support from the essence of heaven and earth, and the evil dragon will lose its guard and regain its life. The nine fish also represent the dragon giving birth to nine sons, and the nine dragon brothers work together to suppress the evil dragon, which is another pole number, the meaning of Tongjiu, with the meaning of eternity, probably hoping to trap the evil dragon forever and keep the world peaceful.
Dragons have different attributes divided into different camps, the evil dragon belongs to fire, representing cruelty and unkindness, we usually say that the dragon in the emperor's true dragon son of heaven belongs to gold, representing the supreme power. If the emperor becomes brutal and unkind, it is tantamount to self-destruction of power, and he burns himself to death first as soon as he fires it. According to the book, this kind of trapped dragon pond also has a separate name 'the end of the king mound', is the king mound of the ancient king of the dead country, every time before the change of dynasties, most of it is because the emperor is mediocre and incompetent, the people have a master to take advantage of the time and place to create this kind of trapped dragon pond to trap the last tyrant to cut off his country, but this kind of natural formation of things is too difficult to find, so many kings are mediocre and brutal until the death of the country is still the same.
I have always scoffed at the words recorded in this book, and the scene I saw in front of me was almost strikingly similar to the description in the book, and I had a faint feeling in my heart that the book "The Ancient Seal of Qimen" left by my grandfather's master did not seem to be some messy product of the four old things, and the content of the book was indeed true, and I had to read it carefully when I went back.
However, I don't think the products of these feudal superstitions have any substantive effect, China has had countless feng shui masters since ancient times, and which one of them became an emperor, not a street stall as a fortune teller, or like Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and other extremely human ministers, but in the end he was just an astrology master.
The fat man pointed to the pool at the bottom of the mountain and said: "Zou Yi, you see there are still a few fish at the bottom, let's go find someone to get those fish to eat by the way, we haven't eaten all night, how about eating snake meat before, how about eating something normal to change the taste?" ”
Thick eyebrows looked at the continuous mountain peaks and cliffs, frowned and said: "It's difficult to find a way down here, there is no dog to lead the way, if you go around the road, I don't know if you can get there before dark." ”
The fat man was a little disapproving: "This place is only more than ten meters high from the pool at the bottom of the mountain, we all have ropes in our bags, find a tree to tie down and slide down soon after, no need to detour to walk over"
I and Gao Yi thought about it and made some sense, the three of us went down the rope, and the thick eyebrows didn't dare to go down and waited on the top, if we couldn't find anyone here, we had to give up and go home.
I and the fat man himself is a restless person, very adventurous in the bones, not to mention how excited to encounter this kind of thing, tall belongs to the typical death to live to suffer the crime, I used to think that the fat man's analysis is reasonable, and now I am afraid that we will say that he is cowardly, and follow me down.
Only the thick eyebrows seem worried, he has grown up in the mountains of Sichuan since he was a child, and he has heard stories about the mountains, and he has an innate fear of the depths of the mountains that no one has been to for many years. But now if we don't go down to find someone, we won't be able to get things to go back to the errand, so we still have to go down and look for it.
