Chapter 12: Chiyou
Kicking his feet hard in one direction, the coffin revealed a gap the size of an arm, and a flashlight shone through it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info was empty, there was no lifelike corpse as I had imagined, not even a single bone, the flashlight shone inside, and in the middle of the coffin was a sword, and I didn't dare to take it directly with my hand, so I stretched out my bayonet and pulled it inside, and there was nothing unusual.
Only then did I have the courage to reach out and grab the hilt of the sword in my hand and pull it out, and I pulled it out with the scabbard, and looked at it carefully with a flashlight, it looked like a very old sword, the connection between the hilt and the sword body was a square beast-shaped pattern, and the mouth was facing the direction of the sword body. I tried to pull it out a few times, but I couldn't pull it out, I thought to myself, isn't this sword too old and rusty in it?
He threw the sword in his waist, and turned around, the surface of the coffin was as black as ink, and he knocked on it, and the sound sounded as hard as knocking on a stone, and suddenly a face appeared on the side of the coffin, and when he looked closely, his eyes were closed, his brows were tightened, and his teeth were grinning, and his expression looked very hideous and painful, and it was the cape that had just been dragged down by the vines on it.
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, and when I looked at it again, the face had disappeared, and the two words slowly appeared, looking very familiar, and the big northeast below seemed to have found Professor Song, and shouted at me twice, and I jumped down with my sword.
He was already in a coma when Da Dongbei found Professor Song, and he tried his pulse and snort, and the person was still alive, what happened to him after he left us? How can you be unconscious? Why is it here? And what separated him from us? Several questions had put countless question marks in my head, and now it seemed that he had to wait until he woke up and told us himself.
I asked Dadongbei to carry Professor Song on his back to find the exit to leave, and when the flare was illuminated, two caves flowed out of two waterways, converging into a small waterhole the size of a well underground, and it didn't seem to make any difference, so we chose one at random and walked in.
In order to save electricity, we only lit a torch, and it has been re-lit five times and still don't see the head, Da Dongbei has long been so tired that he has no air intake and no breath: "Squad leader, if you go on like this, Song Laotou will die here first if he is fine."
I nodded and motioned for him to find a place to put Professor Song down, we also happened to take a break, the light of the torches was limited, we didn't notice that this cave was much wider than when we came in, we turned left and walked about twenty meters or so to find the wall, put Professor Song down against the wall, sprayed him with water first, and there was still no response among the people who pinched him.
Da Dongbei sighed and said: "Class leader, I see that this Professor Song must not be able to do it, there is no response to such a toss, it is really impossible to throw him here, anyway, those people are all dead, if he wakes up, it will be even more torturous." ”
The little stammerer also nodded, I looked at them and hesitated for a long time and finally shook my head, not because of how noble I am, if we just give up Professor Song like this, no matter whether he can wake up in the future, if we can get out alive in the future, this will become an insurmountable mental obstacle for us, I am afraid that I will not fall asleep so easily when I sleep at night, besides, we have a total of eight people, and there are only three when we go back, I can't avoid punishment as a squad leader, and I am also mentally prepared, But we can't explain the annihilation of the technical team, Da Northeast and Xiao Stutter were originally my soldiers, their explanations seem a little pale, Professor Song is different, he is the leader of the technical team, and he is an old professor and an old expert, we should take Professor Song with us in public and private.
I took out the last half pack of cigarettes from my body, lit two and handed them to them: "Let's take him first, whether he can live depends on his creation" raised his head and spit out a puff of cigarette, through the light of the torch, it seemed to see something on the wall, it was very blurry, and it disappeared at once, probably because the fire was not very stable, and he handed it forward with a torch.
There are some carved pictures on the wall, divided into two sides, there are eighty-two humanoid patterns on one side, all of them are strangely shaped, the front face is like a cow's head, ribs and wings, holding a knife in one hand and an axe in the other, rushing forward to kill, the other side is no different from a normal person, the leader looks like a cow's head and a human body, and the abdomen is transparent and visceral, (I remember hearing a story when I was a child, the protagonist in the story seems to be this kind of appearance) followed by a group of peasant-like people, holding hoes and other agricultural tools in their hands, and the momentum is obviously much weaker than the former, Further inside, there was another painting, calling out to the Great Northeast, and letting the little stammerer carry Professor Song on his back and continue to walk inside.
The picture behind is to the effect that the peasant-looking group of people were defeated by strange-looking people, and brought in rescuers, and these eighty-two people set up an ambush and spread a hundred miles of fog, which did not disperse for a long time, so that the opposing soldiers could not distinguish the direction. A person in the opposing camp pointed in the direction, and the soldiers fought out of the encirclement under the guidance of this person, and the bull-headed monster sent his men to wind and rain, and ordered the winged Ying Long to store water to attack, all of which were resolved by the other side one by one, and finally the bull-headed monster was killed, and the body was divided and buried in four places, and eighty-one people behind him were also scattered everywhere.
Seeing the end I finally remembered the transparent person in the belly, one of the three emperors in ancient Chinese myths and legends, 'Shennong's 'Shennong' is also called 'Emperor Yan', the picture on the wall should be the story of the Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou in ancient times, but in the end, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, Chiyou was immortal so he was buried in four places, and Chiyou's eighty-one brothers scattered around to find his body in order to resurrect him, and only a pagoda-like pattern was left at the end.
Although it is not painted on the wall, I think the result must have failed, otherwise the head of the Five Emperors should be Chiyou, why is this strange cave painted with the story of this ancient myth? Who painted it and when did you draw it? What is this strange pagoda?
The more I looked, the more strange it became, I turned on the flashlight to see this one-person tall pagoda from above, to see what the mystery is, why it will be the end of this mythical story, this pagoda is divided into seven layers, each layer is exactly the same, the flashlight shines to the bottom and the largest layer, there is a small square on the window that aroused my idea, look carefully, it is written in a font I have never seen four words, look at the shape can probably guess two of the words: 'King of Dian'.
Da Dongbei looked around with a torch and said, "Squad leader, what kind of thing is this, why does it look so weird?" ”
I turned off the flashlight, and the torch in his hand said: "This is an ancient mythological story, the Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou, you haven't heard of it when you were a child?" ”
Da Dongbei said with a face full of surprise: "What ancient mythology? Who is this Yellow Emperor? Why do you want to eat oil compared to others? ”
I shook my head helplessly and explained to him from beginning to end what the Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou was, and by the way, I also popularized Chinese myths and legends for him.
After hearing this, Dadongbei suddenly realized, and said to himself: "So that's what happened, if we had this ability, then the Kuomintang reactionaries would have been properly cleaned up by us a long time ago."
The little stammered and carried Professor Song on his back, and he didn't know if he was tired or what's wrong, he frowned and said coldly: "Feudal superstition, squad leader, you can't do this, you are violating the law."
"Breach of discipline" I stopped, turned back and said, "Little stammer, do you know the Bodhisattva? The little stammerer nodded, and I asked again, "Do you believe in the Bodhisattva?" The little stammered and nodded, and I said, "You not only know the Bodhisattva, but also believe in the Bodhisattva, so you are not feudal or superstitious?" I just know these things, but I don't believe in them and I'm superstitious? That's not a matter of reason. ”
The three of them were joking and talking because of an inexplicable mural, the surrounding dark environment was not so terrible, and the dangers encountered before were also forgotten, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in front of them for a long time, and the pace was quickened, and it took less than five minutes to walk to the place where the light was shining, a semicircular hole, which could accommodate a person to pass, I was about to go in along the hole, and the big northeast pulled me and said: "Squad leader, we can't always let you take risks, this time I came" said and leaned down and got in.
After waiting for less than a minute, I heard an exclamation from the entrance of the cave, and I hurriedly asked him what was wrong, and Dadongbei said: "Come and see for yourself, I really can't describe this thing, what is the situation?" ”
After the little stammering went in, there was also a burst of exclamation, which made me itch in the back, and urged the big northeast and the small stammering to quickly pull Professor Song over, and I couldn't open my eyes after drilling through the small hole, and I couldn't open my eyes when I saw the surrounding environment after a long time, and the place after we came out was a columnar pit, and in the middle was a circular pool, the water was very shallow and just enough to pass the wrist, and there was a big hole in front of the hole we came out, and there was a small stream of water flowing into the pool, Two more small streams of water led to two holes, the one we had just drilled, and a taller and bigger hole next to it.
What surprises us the most is that the big pit is surrounded by a steep slope that slopes inward about three meters downward, and more than three meters are overgrown with plants, all the plants are like a natural painting, and there seems to be a huge bull-headed human body on the four walls of the ring, a human figure with two wings, and a hideous face standing on the mouth of the hole where the water flows out.
I thought I could go out with the light when I saw the light, but now it seems that it is impossible at all, the steep slope of three meters high and inclined inward has no focus point at all, it is not easy to go up, we have been in the mountain for six days, and the signal flare may not be able to be found, even if it is found and others come to rescue the daylily, it is cold. Although I don't understand why this place is full of ancient mythological things, but now it seems that it is impossible for us to understand even if we don't want to, there is only one hole, and we can either choose to continue walking or go to another cave to see.
