Chapter 1: The Mysterious Cave (Part I)
My name is Zhong Cheng, I am a squad leader, I joined the army before 1980, and I see that the date of retirement is in front of me, but it seems that my life is as bumpy and difficult as Tang Seng learning scriptures, because one thing happened so that I had to give up a good future and comfortable work, enter a secret organization of unsung heroes, become a fighter, and fight against all kinds of supernatural events, the following are some of the things I have experienced. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In late July 1985, major archaeological discoveries were made at the junction of Hunan and Guizhou provinces, with headlines such as "Ancient Tombs Rediscovered", "Cao Cao's Tomb Found" and "Century Stone Caves" flooding the front pages of major daily newspapers.
According to the instructions of the Central Military Commission and the Chengdu Military Region Command, it was requested that troops be sent to take over the cave protected by the local government. At first, our unit was ordered to cordon off the area around the cave as an advance force to prevent outsiders from approaching, but it seemed that the situation was very bad, and some things were so unexpected that I was even enveloped in this incident for the rest of my life.
Shortly after our division took over the cave, a team of helicopters followed. The entire five helicopters were lined up, and this formation was no match for the 1 August 1 Air Force performance team.
"Oh my mother! In this broken mountain and hole, broken mountain and ravine, how to send a helicopter team, is it possible that there is a treasure inside," Bian Zui Lun said humorously. (Flat Mouth Lun, formerly known as Flat Drunk Theory, because this person said that he could learn and sing, and he was a full talker, with a big and flat mouth, so he was nicknamed Flat Mouth Lun by his comrades.) I joined the army with me, the two of us are fellow villagers, I went to college when I graduated from high school, his name fell to Sun Shan, and then worked in the family farm for two years, for that era, there were few ways out for the children in the countryside, especially when they were not in school, either they worked in the family farming, or went to be a soldier, which is the most ideal future for our rural people in addition to going to college! That year I was about to graduate from junior college, on the eve of graduation I went home to get the certificate and prepare graduation materials, met this black and fat him, I remember that day we talked for a long time, most of them were he talking, I connected the words of the gap is not, he talked to me all through the great ideal of "joining the army to serve the country", that mind, swallowing mountains and rivers, turning over the river and the sea, saying that it is the mind, it is better to think of the army gangsters, away from this life facing the loess and facing the sky, to find some different fun. At that time, everyone's fate was not "in control", the only thing that could change was their own mentality of obeying society, and I knew that after graduation, the state would help me arrange for me to teach in a middle school in the county. At that time, this may have been a better position, with a monthly salary more than that of a farmer, and there was no need to participate in farming, so it could be said that there was no problem with food and clothing. But teaching is not the life I want, I majored in geography in college, and two years of university life and knowledge study let me know that in addition to China, there is also the world, which makes me have a very strong emotion, yearning for every strange country and every strange people in the world. As long as I don't go back to my chaotic life, even if I go outside, I'll be content. What he said was not wrong, but the army didn't seem to be very sensitive to me, so I just coping with it in a daze, as if I didn't hear it. Soon, I got my diploma and went to the county middle school again, ready to work. When I arrived at the school, I was told to teach in a township primary school on the grounds that I was training from the grassroots level. Hearing this news made me very angry and distressed. What kind of exercise is this, obviously someone has taken my place, and a fool can see that so many people in the county are looking at this fat! This is not bureaucratic bullying, I thought of the education department to complain, the education department did not dare to speak, and later I learned that there were leaders above to put pressure on the education department, they did not dare to find trouble, take me this hot potato, in the end I had no power and no power, I was exhausted, and I almost lost my job in primary school. That year, when I was psychologically depressed and distressed, I remembered the idea that Bianzui Lun said that he joined the army, and that's it, I signed up for the army with him. )
"I'm afraid this is not as simple as gold and silver treasures, look at this formation, at least it is an ancient royal tomb, and it is full of pit and pit corpses," Wang Dao, another comrade-in-arms of mine, said with a grin.
"Huh! That's too simple! This is a treasure and a royal tomb, one sees wealth and opens his eyes, and the other sees a strange eye. Hum! In my opinion, there are unclean things in there, either goblins or imps. That's not good! Oh no! ”
"Comrade Daoist Li, what are you talking nonsense about, have you watched too many ghost stories again, or have you forgotten to take medicine, or you have gone crazy in practicing the Fa, could it be that you have been frightened again, you have forgotten to teach a lesson!" Flat-mouthed Lun said humorously
Here I want to talk about "Li Daoshi", Li Daoshi's original name was Li Chongsheng, this person claimed to be the 88th generation head of the Qingfeng faction of Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi, and said that he was the head, which is not false, because people have "certificates", occupational, and the issuing body is the Jiangxi Provincial Religious Association. Although he has a certificate, everyone still expresses suspicion, thinking that he is a delusional god. Why is it said that he is a delusional god, then I have to tell a story. A year ago, when the leaders at a higher level came to the unit to guide the work, the leaders spoke generously at the meeting, and when they were in the mood to speak, there was a "crackling" thunderstorm in the sky. Many people don't think so, because this phenomenon is not strange in the rainy and thunderous weather in the south, but this "Taoist Li" is very serious.
He suddenly stood up from the crowd and shouted
"Not good! Oh no! The leadership is not good! ”
Listening to Daoist Li's roar, the leader with a Sichuan accent said to him
"Oh! Am I not right, this warrior? What's wrong! ”
"Comrade Chief! I have something to say to you, to speak in front of these ordinary people, to insult the face of my head."
The chief looked at Lian Commander Qu suspiciously
"Boss?"
Seeing this situation, Company Commander Qu hurriedly explained: "Comrade Chief! Please ignore him, he just had a frightened night watch not long ago, and he was a little stimulated. Because he said that he had met a female ghost, and when he came back, he said every day that this thing was not good, that thing was not good, and the military doctor could not see what was wrong, so he said that maybe the soldier was a little stimulated by the fright, and he would be fine after a while. The previous paragraph was all right, but who knew that it was done again at this time, and I hope the chief will forgive me and don't take it to heart.
The chief said angrily
"Captain Qu Lian! Is this the soldier you are leading? I'm going to criticize you, how can you let a psycho yell at me! What kind of system? I think you have to slow down when you become the battalion commander! ”
Company Commander Qu grabbed the chief's arm with both hands and whispered
"Comrade Chief, everyone is a fellow villager in Sichuan, don't get angry because of this trivial matter, I will immediately ask someone to knock him out of the venue and severely punish him, this time you can see it!"
After that, Company Commander Qu asked the two guards to drag Daoist Li out.
As the saying goes, if a serious man gets hard, no one can stop him! I think Daoist Li is very hard, and it is also admirable. After a while, who knew that this Li Chongsheng Li Daoist came back again, and the way he came back was very special, he stole a tank from the tank battalion, and drove the tank to the venue, the formation was like a sudden attack by the enemy, which frightened the chief and his comrades, thinking that this Li Daoist was really crazy.
When I arrived at the door of the venue, I saw Daoist Li sticking his head out of the tank and saying to the chief
"Not good! Comrade Chief! I, the 88th generation head of the Qingfeng faction of Jiangxi Longhu Mountain, have never deceived anyone, you have something wrong! ”
"Wait! Qu Lian Chang Xi! What kind of thing is this? ”
"Report Comrade Chief! He said that he is the head of a Taoist sect, but he is indeed a head of the school, the certificate and the big seal of the Jiangxi Provincial Religious Affairs Bureau do have, I checked it in the military file, and I really found this certificate, it is not fake! ”
"Oh, I see, Lian Commander Qu! After the meeting, you brought him to your company headquarters for me, and I will teach him a good lesson, and mess up my speech, so bold! ”
"Adjournment!"
"Yes, Chief"
The company commander wondered why the comrade of the head of the military region would be so interested in a small private, saying that it was a lesson, I am afraid it is not so simple, I have known the chief for many years, and I know his habits very well! This is not like the style of Comrade Chief, I'm afraid it is not as simple as a lesson.
The company commander and Li Daoshi were on the way to the company headquarters, and the company commander explained them one by one, like the mother's advice to her son before leaving, don't say the wrong thing, talk more about my company commander's political achievements, talk more about my strictness, etc., we didn't know these at first, until the flat mouth Lun Abian came out of the mouth of Li Daoshi afterwards, and then said that when you see people, you will talk about them, and finally it has become an open secret.
"What's wrong with your baby, what's not good
The chief asked, confused
"Comrade Chief of the report, from our Taoist point of view, the rich and noble people have thunder on their heads for no reason, this is a bad omen! This is taking off the hat of wealth! ”
"Oh, is what you doll said true or false, we soldiers can't believe in ghosts and gods, if you pretend to be a ghost in the army, this will go to a court-martial, you baby know no.
"I'm never a liar"
"I think you are a cow ghost and a snake god, you fool the chief comrade again, see how I clean you up when I turn around"
"Company Commander Qu! What are you doing, why are your thoughts still stuck in the sixties and seventies, what kind of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, I think your thinking is very narrow-minded, how can I rest assured that I will hand over a battalion to you, you baby?"
"Yes, yes, what the chief said, I will change it, and I ask the chief comrade to forgive me for what I just said."
"And, doll! I also want to criticize you, we soldiers should not spread the theory of ghosts and gods, but establish the ideology of atheism, you baby know no"
"Comrade Chief, I know all of this when you say this, isn't there something special! If there is no special thing, the head of the Qingfeng faction of Jiangxi Longhu Mountain will not open his mouth easily, you have to believe me."
"Oops! Why don't you understand what I mean, it seems that your mind is very rotten, and it's really not reassuring, baby, the road is still long, don't be crazy! Comrade Chief said angrily.
"And that company commander Qu, you and they all go out, I want to carry out a "profound" ideological education with this baby to purify and purify the atmosphere of our army."
"Okay, okay! Comrade Chief, please help me teach this baby a lesson, don't show any mercy."
When leaving, Company Commander Qu deliberately skimmed Li Daochang with a stiff smile, saying that it was a smile, but it was better to say that this was Company Commander Qu's "warning" to Li Daochang, and today's Company Commander Qu really had a "performance" in front of the chief.
"Master! I know that you have the ability, you are my benefactor, you can see my heart at a glance! To make a long story short, on the surface, I came down to guide the work as a work exchange, but in fact I came here to avoid inspection, and there were two inspections from the Military Discipline Inspection Commission at both ends of the three days, either inviting you to drink coffee or inviting you to carry out ideological education, and I was going crazy. It's not because Brother Xu Huailong was arrested that I was a little caught off guard. Who knew that the central government would make such a big effort to rectify military discipline this time, and I hope that the master will solve these uneasiness for me, and I don't have to say anything about being promoted and making a fortune in the future.
"Huh! Then let me ask you, have you been corrupt or bribed? ”
"Dude! You're not laughing at me, I'm just charging for smoking money and a few boxes of mooncakes, not much. ”
"Really?"
"Huh...... Oh, the master can see it at a glance, it's not a secret, the military material is a little bit upside down, but that's a long time ago, look at me, I'm almost 60 years old, I don't want to make any mess before I retire, the master also asks you to help me, let me get through this hurdle in front of me"
"I can help you, but I don't know if you dare to do it!"
"Oh! You say it first, there's nothing I don't dare to do."
"Well, I'll make a long story short, in the future, every time you go to the toilet, you will put a few hundred-dollar bills and two military buckles in the toilet fecal bucket, the more big bills, the better, the more this calamity will be, the richer and richer the people, put it for 7749 days in a row, and then this problem will not make you worry"
"Dare to ask the master! Why do you do that?"
"Haha! Don't divulge it! ”
That's how it is, Daoist Li has become the laughing stock of everyone since this incident.
Originally, the Military Commission for Discipline Inspection was still very vague about the "foundation" of this chief comrade, and it was not very sure, and no evidence could be found, let alone anyone reported it, but this chief comrade seemed to be eager to put an end to it and resolve his own uneasiness day after day, year after year. On the advice of the master, he carried a black briefcase with him every day from then on, and no one knew what was in his bag! Once, his subordinates curiously asked him what was in this bag, and he scolded his subordinates at the top of his throat, "You melon baby, haven't you ever seen confidential documents carried around?" The poor subordinate could only quickly apologize, half-convinced. Strange to say, this manager who cleans the toilet! Every time, I could find a few hundred-dollar bills in the feces, and every time I scolded my father, "Which turtle grandson is this who wastes money." Here we must know that in the 80s of the last century, the salary of the regiment commander was 90 yuan per month, the battalion commander was 60 yuan per month, the company commander was 40 per month, and the ordinary soldiers were even less pitiful. In other words, if this person is lucky, he can't stop it, not only a toilet is available, but the toilets of the whole military region can be found, and the rumors in the army are really boiling, some say that the toilet god has appeared, and pity the toiling masses, and some say which soldier has diarrhea and pulled out the money. In short, all kinds of suspicions, that is varied, endless. And some people have noticed that this "comrade chief" has been a frequent visitor to the toilet recently, and he can go there several times an hour, saying that he has a bad stomach! That's not like that, there must be a problem. At the same time, this also attracted the attention of the Military Discipline Inspection Commission, so on a sunny morning, the personnel of the Military Discipline Inspection Commission followed the chief to the toilet to see what he was doing. It was found that the black briefcase was all 100 yuan bills, and it was arrested and corrected, and it was later confirmed that it was dirty money after a follow-up investigation, and Comrade Chief was honorably imprisoned.
As the saying goes, "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles", Li Daoshi is famous, even the angry ones are angry, the angry ones are sick, and the comrades-in-arms are all admiring the "head" of the five bodies to the ground, this is to save people's lives, or to eradicate the root cause, discussed for a long time.
The above is the famous song of Li Daochang, and let's talk about taking over the cave. As a class leader, watching them talk so happily without any organization and discipline makes me unbearable. I "clicked" twice, and then said
"What nonsense, I'm straightening up, Comrade Company Commander hasn't left yet, if he sees you like this, he will have to skin you and cramp"
As soon as the words fell, the helicopter over there had been steadily parked on the tarmac that had been built, and then several gray-haired old men walked out of the cabin, looking like experts, followed by several young people, about the same age as me, they were carrying suitcases, these people looked familiar and unfamiliar, very stylish, not like simple people.
The comrade company commander, who had not seen him just now, appeared out of nowhere at this time, rushed to the front of those experts with an arrow step, saluted directly, and hurriedly set off to the cave with these old experts who were talking and laughing.
"Fellow squad leader! Why are these people in such a hurry to enter the cave, do you know the internal instructions of the superiors? And what's in this hole? What kind of officials are these old men, why do you still salute them with Comrade Company Commander! Or is it a standard military salute" Flat mouth Lun asked one question after another, which caught me a little off guard
I blamed him
"You talk a lot, there are no instructions, I don't know in the cave, continue to stand guard"
Maybe my voice is a little louder, not to say it's okay, as soon as I say that everyone is looking at me, a pair of pitiful eyes, almost burying me, it seems that everyone is very confused!
Because I didn't know what was in the cave, I asked the company commander the same question on the way here, and I was curious about how the army could be sent if it was an ordinary cave and the local police could be sent to guard the perimeter. For my question, the company commander just coldly jumped out two words "confidentiality", and the company commander just saluted those old people who were not soldiers, or the standard military salute, and this strange thing also puzzled me, and I didn't know where to start.
Time passed very slowly, and during the time when the company commander and experts entered, my comrades-in-arms and I stood on a muddy hillside under the scorching sun. Our reconnaissance company has taken over since 7 o'clock in the morning, and I looked at my watch, and now it is already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, which seems to be very short, but in fact it is not short, because we have already set off at about one o'clock last night, but halfway, it took a little time to get to this barren mountain and wilderness. The weather in Guizhou and Hunan in July has nothing to say, they are all stoves, the temperature is getting higher and higher, the valley that has just rained, the moisture in the soil evaporates quickly, and the humidity and heat in the air make people a little dizzy. This valley is in the shape of a gourd, with an occlusion at one end and a two-meter-wide opening at the other. According to the police here, except for some ethnic minority people who come to hunt and collect medicine, few people generally come to this place, first, it is not suitable for human habitation, and second, the unique climatic conditions of this place. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature seemed to be in burst mode, getting higher and higher, and several of the soldiers in the second squad fainted, so you can imagine what a perverted place this is.
Just when all the comrades-in-arms were being tortured by this perverted place, "boom...... Boom" resounded throughout the valley, and the birds fled in fright. Seeing this, I knew something was wrong, and I rushed to set up a temporary headquarters out of tents.
"What's wrong, what's going on?" I asked the correspondent Xiao Zhang
"Report to squad leader Zhong, the specific situation is not clear, but now I have lost contact with the cave"
"I lost contact, the situation is urgent, you hurry up and report to the military region, I will go and organize the rescue first"
After that, I urgently assembled the first squad of soldiers, and the second squad saw that our first squad had all assembled, and also realized the seriousness of the matter, and the second squad also began to assemble urgently.
"Squad Leader Zhong, Squad Leader Zhong" correspondent Xiao Zhang ran and shouted to come to me, the military region headquarters replied, asking us to organize rescue on our own, the follow-up troops encountered mudslides, roads were blocked, and the clean-up work was being organized, and it could not be reached for the time being, and asked the supreme commander on the scene to direct the rescue work, and the helicopter medical team would arrive at the meeting."
"Where is Platoon Commander Sun?"
"The platoon commander and the second squad leader are in"
"It's all in!"
"In that case, the situation is too urgent, time is life, not a minute or a second can be wasted, I will lead a squad of soldiers to check first, you let the second squad be on guard on the periphery, to welcome the arrival of the follow-up troops, if there is a situation in the cave, I will contact you"
With that, taking ropes, electric lights, weapons and daggers, as well as some scraps of water and compressed biscuits, a group of seven or eight warriors led by me hurried into the cave. Because it was summer at this time, I thought that the lack of wind in the cave would make people breathless, but who knew that it was much more than we expected, the cave was exceptionally cool, and there was a slight breeze blowing in the face, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and there was a feeling of staying here and resting.
"What are you grinding, speed up your pace to save people"
When everyone heard my roar, they immediately cheered up from their intoxication, and completely forgot about the comfort just now.
To say that this cave is not very special, it is similar to our common stone caves, the only difference is that this cave is very dark, and the black makes people can't help but have a sense of fear.
After walking for about 10 minutes, the comrades-in-arms began to mumble.
"I said squad leader, we have been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived yet, how far is this hole, did our correspondent Xiao Zhang tell you the size of this hole!"
"I said you are a king, don't you know how far the road to becoming a king is, when are you more than the words of Flat Mouth Lun, even if you go around the earth three times, you have to finish it for me."
When Wang Dao heard me say this, he was speechless all of a sudden, so he had to obey the order aggrievedly and bow his head and remain silent.
"Hey! I said fellow squad leader, don't talk about me, you think of me, I'm a little embarrassed, it looks like I'll have to invite you to drink when I go back, you look up to me," Ah Bian said shyly
"Yes! I won't forget you, your mouth that can be broken by the sky, that's a nuclear weapon."
"Huh! It seems that you can't only drink alcohol, but also eat meat, otherwise how can you be worthy of the praise of the countryman squad leader?"
"By the way, fellow squad leader, do you think these experts will all be like that?"
"Which one?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, if you don't die, I think you will be said to die, just say those bad words, if that's the case, even if you have one arm and one leg left, you have to bring it out, otherwise we will be scolded by the leaders when we go out, and write messy explanations"
"It's still thoughtful from the head of the class, I didn't go to college in vain, look at this high IQ croak," Bianzui Lun said with a smile
"Less damn for me, Xiao Li quickly check the communication equipment"
"Hey, okay! Squad Leader"
"Beijing! Beijing! I'm a hound, 3 minutes of routine inspection of communication equipment, please answer when you hear it, over"
"Hound dogs! Hunting dog! Beijing received, communication ...... Positive ......"
"Beijing! Beijing! ……”
"Oops! The signal is lost, what should we do this time the squad leader"
"Fellow squad leader! We don't know the instructions outside, how can we rescue? ”
"Heh, don't you usually see that you are quite capable? , who are we, we are scouts, don't forget that we are engaged in reconnaissance, and we will not reconnoiter without instructions? Joke! ”
"I said Flat Mouth Lun, are you fucking afraid, or let Daoist Li draw you a talisman to drive away"
"The royal road! It's not right for you to say that, even if I don't care, what kind of person am I, am I the one who patrols the longest and farthest away in the army's night patrol, and I admit that I have also been trained in psychological warfare? ”
Here we want to talk about night patrol and psychological warfare, night patrol is almost a compulsory subject for the whole army when we join the army, that is, patrol around the woods, ponds, etc., it seems that there are not many checks with the sentry, but in fact it is not so easy, in that era, the army had its own agricultural base, but there were always some peasants who did not have enough to eat, and often went to the vegetable gardens and fish ponds planted by the army to steal vegetables and fish. In order to put an end to this phenomenon and ensure the normal supply of the army, the army often appoints one or more soldiers to patrol at night, and if anyone is found stealing fish or vegetables, they will arrest or warn them to leave; Psychological warfare was also a compulsory subject in that era, the only purpose of psychological warfare was to exercise the courage and reaction of soldiers, and the training content was to let a soldier go to a mass grave three miles away to take the skull of a dead man and bring it over on the night of a thunderstorm.
"Yes! Be! Be! You're the longest, but don't pull the correspondent Xiao Zhang to accompany you on the night patrol."
"Hey! I said, what's wrong with me pulling Xiao Zhang, I'm studying, you know the Morse code No, an illiterate person like you who graduated from junior high school deserves to be a deputy squad leader in the army for three years."
"I can't afford that, it's not because of ......"
"Don't talk about it, what's the quarrel, I'll talk about it later, let's solve the problem in front of us now, don't fucking nonsense!" Hearing me talk about me angrily, everyone fell silent, and the two of them returned to the task with some grievances.
Time is tight, the task is urgent! We walked for a while, and the cave was still bottomless, but there was a strange thing that the wind blowing from the cave was getting stronger and stronger, and the cold of the cave could not help but make people shiver, as if wearing short sleeves to winter.
Suddenly! A fluorescent green shadow appeared in the darkness! Frightened, I and everyone stopped walking, didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly observed this thing, the green shadow was in the shape of a human body, as if it was the shadow of a person, and I could vaguely see the outline of the facial features emitting a flame-shaped green light.
"See?" I whispered
"See," everyone whispered
I saw it, it didn't seem like I was dazzled, out of professional habits, I picked up the strong flashlight in Wang Dao's hand and shone it away, and before I could shine on the green shadow, "poof", the green shadow disappeared, and it was back in the darkness in front of me, except for the light of the flashlight.
"Fellow squad leader, that ...... What's that...... What is it?" asked Flatmouth Lun in a frightened voice
"I don't know what it is," and when I said that, fear came over us, so I said, "Don't ask, run faster, catch up with it, I'm going to see what it is."
"Don't chase it, don't chase it, it's not good! Oh no! Don't even come close! ”
We only ran out about three meters before we were stopped by Daoist Li's shout, and I could hear that it was a painful sound, and it seemed that trouble was coming.
As soon as Daoist Li said this, I immediately ran back and asked, "What's the matter, Daoist Li, what's wrong?" ”
When Bianzui Lun saw me come to Daoist Li's side, he also followed.
"I said Daoist Li, I haven't seen you speak all the way, why is there a situation and you are nervous."
"I'm serious, look at my head pendant"
After that, he ripped off his clothes and opened his chest, only to see a pale green pendant deeply "inlaid" in his flesh, making him unable to move, he tried to move forward, but every time he took this pendant into the flesh "trapped" a step, this scene is like the feeling of an egg falling into flour, which makes people a little frightened and disgusting.
"Turn around! Facing the opening"
I saw Wang Dao quickly run to Daoist Li and pat his body, which was a twist! I saw a glowing pendant "rubbing" and flew out two or three meters away in the direction of the cave entrance, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Are you alright?" said Flatmouth
As soon as the words fell, this Taoist Li didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, regardless of his own pain, he rushed to the pendant like crazy, and held it carefully
"Oops! Ancestors! You're not broken, it's great that you're okay, if something happens, how can I explain it to my dead father."
Everyone was frightened by Daoist Li's move, what is this that makes Daoist Li attach so much importance to it, and I am also confused by others.
Because Daoist Li's body was injured just now, blood kept flowing from his chest, and blood kept flowing along his body on this pendant.
"I said Daoist Li, there's something wrong with your pendant, it's sucking your blood, hurry up and throw it away."
It was too late, but it was too soon, and the pendant became more excited after sucking the blood, emitting a blinding white light, illuminating the entire dark cavern as if it were a sunny day at noon, and the eyes of me and the others could not be opened.
"I said Daoist Li, what kind of treasure are you holding in your fucking hands, why didn't I find out about it, do you want us to let this treasure "shine" on us? Want to ......"
Before the king could finish speaking, the pendant somehow suddenly "went out" again, and the surroundings returned to pitch black, which made people feel even more frightened.
I looked around, my eyes were piercing, everything was bright, this light was really a bit strong, is this thing really a "baby" of Daoist Li? .
"I said, everyone's okay, rub your eyes slowly," I said, looking around.
"It's okay, squad leader! I can still see it, but I can't die! ”
"Squad leader! Monitor! Come and see" I saw Wang Dao looking at Daoist Li in horror, his body trembled a little, and the light of the shaking electric light kept shaking.
"What's wrong, what's going on again!"
"The wound on Daoist Li's chest is "healed", there is no trace of it"
Daoist Li lay on the ground looking very tired, and he held the pendant tightly with his hands.
"Daoist Li, is there any part of your body that you don't feel well? Can you hear me? ”
Daoist Li said to me tiredly: "Squad leader! I can't die, I just feel too tired and want to sleep! ”
"Want to sleep?" , I looked at the exhausted comrades around me, they kept rubbing their eyes to get their eyes back to normal, and it was indeed a bit unsuitable to move forward.
"Good! Then rest for a while and set off in ten minutes. ”
When my comrades-in-arms heard me say this, they all lay motionless on the ground, completely ignoring the dampness at the bottom of the cave, this was the first time they had rested in this ghost place since yesterday, everyone was very excited, and some even snored.
"Hey! Fellow squad leader! Do you say that we really encountered ghosts, I heard that ghosts hate Taoist priests the most, they are natural enemies, for safety, or let's go back! I'll write your note for you. Flatmouth said with a grin.
"I said flat-mouthed, are you frightened by what happened just now, aren't you usually quite able to blow, how did you get to the critical moment like this, you are afraid of death and still come to be a soldier, I really don't know what you thought at the beginning. I'm the squad leader, I said I'm going forward, don't mention what I said just now, shame! ”
"Shame! I'm not thinking about everyone's safety, we don't even know what demons and monsters are in the cave now, and there are so many strange things, I don't want anyone to have another accident to say this, and I even say that I'm ashamed, and besides, you have a college degree, but why can't you be a company commander or platoon commander after five years, isn't it because you speak straight and have a hard temper? It's because of your donkey temper that some chiefs suppress you everywhere, if I hadn't recommended you to the position of squad leader in front of the company commander every day, then the position of squad leader would have been mine a long time ago, and I would have said that I was ashamed. ”
Everyone knows that if people quarrel and start to move, it is very easy to happen, and Bianzui Lun and I are about to fight, and Daoist Li, who is lying on the side, can't stand it.
"Don't make any noise, big things are important," Daoist Li persuaded in a very tired voice
"That's right! Right! Right! Ah Bian! Monitor! Our main task now is to save people, not personal grudges, and hurt brotherhood for this little thing, how undeserved! ”
"Squad leader! We have to continue the mission now, we can't do it without you, no one can command us without you."
"Ah Bian! It's a shame that you're still fellow countrymen, how about I go back and invite you to drink my bottle of Luzhou Laojiao, don't take this matter to heart."
"I said the king, I'm such a stingy person, your bottle of wine will be mine sooner or later"
"That's it! Don't even say it! I said angrily
Then I said, "Daoist Li! If you can't continue the mission, let "Ah Bian" accompany you here! Waiting for us to come back."
"Squad leader! I can continue the mission, my physical condition is much better than just now"
"That's fine! It's up to you. ”
"All the soldiers of the 3rd platoon of the reconnaissance company, the mission continues!"
"Yes!"
It's still the voice of the soldier who is the most powerful, I don't know if the people at the entrance of the cave can hear such a loud voice, maybe they can hear it!
We continued to walk, except that the black was the only constant in this cave, the other two that made me feel different were that the cave began to become strange, and the passage of the cave became narrower and narrower, at first it could accommodate four people walking side by side, but now it can only accommodate two people walking side by side. Another is that the "wind" is getting stronger and stronger, and our faces are evaporated by the wind, and we can't feel the heat of July at all, which makes people feel a kind of heart-wrenching coolness.
When the wind is strong, the anger of the people is less.
"Fellow squad leader! I'm sorry about that."
"What you say is true"
"What? Oh! Yes, that's true."
"Really, I have to thank you so much"
"Nope! No! No! No thanks! Who is with whom we brothers, let's go back and drink. ”
"Squad leader! Squad leader! There is a situation, you listen! Hearing the correspondent Xiao Li say this, I made a gesture to stop advancing. Wang Dao skillfully lay on the ground, his ears pressed against the ground.
"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! The sound kept coming from afar
"The sound is crisp, like the sound of a bell! The cave is about 500 meters away, and it is coming in our direction, and at this speed, we can reach where we are in less than 2 minutes," Wang Dao judged based on the bell.
As we all know, in our country's armed forces are divided into many arms, take the army as an example, there are scouts, communications troops, literary and artistic troops, armored troops, artillery and other arms, each of which has its own special "skills". Scouts are not special forces. However, specialized scouts are required to have outstanding military, physical, and psychological qualities. Scouts move more quickly and flexibly, and have higher requirements for individual soldiers' physical fitness, agility, and comprehensive combat awareness.
It is precisely because of this trait that Scouts are extremely sensitive to everything, especially the identification of enemy situations.
"Turn off all the flashlights, lean against the wall, load the bullets, and prepare for the capture" I ordered everyone to prepare for the worst.
"Squad leader, this is from the direction of the cave, could it be our people!" Wang Dao asked
"How many people do you hear?" I asked rhetorically
"Alone," replied Wang Dao, confused
"Do you think the follow-up forces will send someone to reinforce us? Still a guy with a ringtone."
When Wang Dao heard me say this, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "It's still the squad leader who is smart." ”
The bell is getting closer and closer, about 100 meters away, and the sweat on my body is flowing down the wall like rain, not because of the heat in the cave, but because of my nervous unnatural reaction, thinking of the disappearance of the expert company commander, the green shadow, the pendant reaction of Li Daochang, all of this makes me break out in a cold sweat. As I walked down the wall, I could hear the hearts of the other comrades, everyone held their breath, and I could feel their mood at this moment, they were just as full of fear as I was.
It's getting closer:
"50 meters"
"30 meters"
"20 meters"
"10 meters"
"5 meters"
"2 meters"
……
"Hands up!" These four words resounded like thunder throughout the cave, and suddenly six or seven flashlights were turned on together, and the rifles were hit at the place where the flashlights went together, this formation was like the feeling of seven or eight rifles facing you, which was shocking.
The march stopped, the bell stopped ringing, and everything returned to the silence, and we were in a stalemate for about a minute.
I only heard the laughter of "hehe......" echoing between the caves, the voice was a little hoarse, vicissitudes, and at the same time terrifying.
The one who was stopped was a short old man with a height of 1.5 meters, wearing a tattered hat, holding a broken wooden cane, wearing a Taoist robe full of patches, no, it looked like a monk's robe, because the light was not too good, and there were too many patches, I didn't care about these, but I was more concerned about this old man "is it a human or a ghost", why did he appear in the hole, and how did he get in?
"Old man! Who are you? I saw Ah Bian hiding behind everyone and asked
"Haha...... Ha ha...... Haha"
I saw that the old man didn't know what evil he had fallen into, and when he raised his head, he burst into laughter.
Ah Bian saw him laughing, and became even more curious, "I said! Geezer! Are you dumb, and I ask you? ”
"Poor road! I can't, dare to ask you why you're in my way, if it's okay, can the poor road continue to move forward? ”
As soon as these words came out, the fear in everyone's hearts was immediately eliminated, and it turned out to be an old way! It's not a monster!
"I say! Lao Dao, how did you get in, didn't you know there was an accident inside? Hurry back, the people need our party and troops, don't come to make trouble. Wang Dao told this great truth to this old Taoist priest in one breath.
"Three questions?"
"What?" I'm curious as to why he said, "Three questions?" Just when everyone was still confused, the words of doubt came.
"First, why can I come in? It was me stealthily entering through the hole; Second, do I know there was an accident in the cave? I knew three days ago there was going to be an accident here; Third, ask me if I'm here to make trouble? I answered unequivocally, no! I'm also here to save people. ”
Although on the surface it looks like this old man is old! It's a master in his 90s, but judging from the old man's speech and demeanor and actions, his thinking is very clear, and his physical strength is also very good, which can't help but surprise me, and I feel that this old man is not simple.
"I say! Old man ......"
"Stop, I can't call me, call me Dao"
When Wang Dao heard the old man say this, he was embarrassed to get up, and said in a proper manner: "You can't be old!" You said you would be invisible, I think you are bragging, don't think that the **** will not be anti-bull ghosts and snakes when it ends. ”
Seeing that the old man didn't say a word, he stretched out two fingers and recited the incantation, and everyone was surprised by the old man's action, followed by a burst of laughter.
"I said Daoist Li, is he your master? Why are you as nervous as you, and you still chanting a mantra?"
"Don't talk nonsense, when did I recite a mantra, our Qingfeng faction has not recited mantras since ancient times, we have our way"
While everyone was discussing hotly, a situation suddenly appeared, and the old man disappeared with only a "poof" sound, leaving only a wisp of green smoke in place.
"Where's the old man?" Wang Dao shouted, everyone was also confused, I am also the second monk, I can't scratch my head.
"Young man, I said it, you can't call me Dao number" I only heard the old man say coldly behind the royal road, but I couldn't see his shadow.
"Yes! Be! Be! Can't be long! I know it's wrong, you show up quickly, you're scared of me like this," Wang Dao said in a trembling voice.
As soon as Wang Dao finished speaking, there was another "poof", and the old man returned to his position just now.
The old man has such an ability, so he is naturally not afraid of our formation, and I think about what the old man just said, this old man gives me the feeling that he is not a bad person, but more like a friend. I told everyone to put down their rifles, and then said to the old man:
"Hello! Can't be long! You said you knew there was going to be an accident here three days ago, and you said that you are here to save people now, so who are you saving? I asked, confused.
"Save all the people of this world!"
"All of them?"
"That's right! All"
As soon as the old man's words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Old man, you alone are all the people in this world, you are unrealistic!" Ah Bian said
"Young people! The old man was a little angry, and his tone was very stiff.
"That's right! Right! Right! You see my memory, I can't be long, and I ask your old man to forgive me."
"It's not me talking nonsense, if it fails, everyone will have to die, including you"
Looking at the vicious eyes of the Taoist leader, my comrades and I were frightened into a cold sweat.
