Chapter Twenty-Six: Riding the Fireflies
I don't know what time it is, but I can feel the time passing by at a rapid pace, and that feeling is the most torturous, clouding all your senses and making you grope in the unknown, seeing nothing but darkness, feeling nothing but the passage of time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The black-haired raccoon led the way, and we followed behind it. The foreigner I knocked unconscious had woken up, but he could only be carried by two people in the tomb without any medical conditions, and it is estimated that his leg would be useless when he got out.
We keep our speed constant, so we can be on our guard, and if we have a moth, we can always be ready. We walked at a slow pace, and then, at a bend, there were specks of fluorescence in front of us.
At first glance, the fluorescence looks like a bunch of fireflies at night, and it floats erratically, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Wang Meng whispered: "In front is the mother body of the ghost hand vine."
Although Wang Meng gave us vaccinations, I couldn't help but be amazed when I actually saw the mother body of the ghost hand vine!
In front of the bend, it was as if the entire mountain of Fudo Mountain had been hollowed out, and our vision became unusually wide, as if a cliff had been carved out of the middle, with a wall on one side and air on the other. The passage is only for one person to walk slowly against the wall, and if you are not careful, you are likely to fall.
We walked sideways like crabs, with our backs pressed against the wall behind us, and our eyes didn't dare to look down. At the bottom of the cliff was a tree, a thick vine to be exact, but from a distance it looked like a towering tree. How thick it is, even ten people holding hands can't hold it. We can't see the top of the vine when we look up, and there are fluorescent ghost hands all over the vine, densely packed like the previous leech swarm. Ghost hands jumped over the vines, and if you looked closely, there was a small vine at the end of each ghost hand that connected to the mother.
At the top of the vine, we saw a lot of glowing fruits, exactly the same as the fruits taken out by Yu Houtu. We were all covered in green liquid, and we had eaten fluorescent fruits, so no ghost hands spotted us along the way, and the occasional one or two jumped on us and quickly left for other places. Our surroundings are fluorescently illuminated, and even without a flashlight, we can see the environment around us for tens of meters.
The roots of the vines swirled and swirled, coiling like a recumbent dragon, each with knots, each as thick as my arm.
"How could there be a cliff in this burial chamber!" More than a dozen of us have more than one Houtu and Wang Lei is the fattest, and they don't dare to come out, for fear that one of them will accidentally plunge into the ghost hand nest.
"Do you remember what the noodle shop owner said about the vicissitudes of the sea?" I walked cautiously against the wall. "Remember, doesn't it mean that the descendants of King Jin are genetically modified?" Yu Houtu gritted his teeth and burst out a sentence.
"You know a!" I shook my head and continued: "In 1989, Chinese archaeologists dug up an ancient tomb in the Taklamakan Desert, which is very likely to be the resting place of Princess Xie Wu of Wusun Kingdom."
"You said it's a desert, how can there be an ancient tomb?" Yu Houtu's head hadn't turned around yet.
"The Taklamakan Desert has indeed unearthed the tomb of Princess Xie Wei." Wang Meng lowered his head and thought for a moment and said.
"No, how can anyone survive in the desert?" The rest of the thick soil is dug to the bottom. "This is what Brother Shanshui said, the Taklamakan Desert was a plain residential area a long time ago, and after years of erosion, it has become a desert now." Sun Da explained.
Just like Hoh Xil, Hoh Xil was a vast ocean tens of thousands of years ago, and after the movement of the earth's crust, it has now become a plateau.
The so-called vicissitudes of life is what it means, couples like to use this word to compare their undying love, but they don't know how the vicissitudes of life are so simple. The desert is still that desert, and the plateau is still that plateau, but the two people who have said that the vicissitudes of the sea have long since parted ways.
"Do ghost hands glow red?" At this time, Yu Houtu suddenly asked. I couldn't figure out the meaning of Yu Houtu's words, and thought about it for a while, as if the ghost hands we saw along the way were all fluorescent, and I hadn't seen red light.
"Nope." Wang Meng nodded affirmatively.
"And what is that?" Yu Houtu pointed to the cliff below. I was afraid of heights and didn't dare to look down, but then I felt something strange, and a burst of red light swung up from below like ripples, intertwining with the fluorescence emitted by the ghost hand, and the two gradually merged into the red and green illumination of the entire tomb. We were amazed by the sight, only the red and green colors shone brightly, this is a complete wonderland, and if there is a camera at this time, it will definitely be shortlisted for the Cannes Best Photography Award.
When the red light rises, it turns out to be an unknown insect emitted, and like a firefly, its tail has its own luminous function. The insects are very small, about the same size as the seven-star ladybug, but in terms of appearance, they have thrown off the ladybug for dozens of streets.
"Nature is the greatest Creator!" I can't help but sigh that the good, bad, beautiful and ugly things in this world are all created by nature. Wang Meng lowered his head and frowned, his eyes resting on the insects from time to time.
“beautiful!” The Yankees in the back looked at the insects in the air with an intoxicated expression, and then stretched out a finger to meet them.
The bugs glowed red and landed on the Yankee's fingers, and the sight was shattered by a scream!
"Ah!!h
When the bug fell into the hands of the Americans, the Yankees screamed, and the whole body suddenly burst into flames, and in a few seconds, he turned into a burning man!
"Get out of the way!" Wang Meng shouted, we didn't react to the conversion before and after! The Burning Man struggled to pounce on one of the Yankees in front of him, but the fire instantly led to another person, and the two men lay on the third person with two arms raised! The third person was instantly burned by the fire, and the fire continued to move forward!
"Bang! Boom! Boom! Shizuko fired three shots at the burning men, and after the gunshots, all three of them fell to the ground.
I took a look at Shizuko, I really didn't expect her to be so ruthless to her own people! Shizuko didn't have any expression on her face, and she didn't even panic when the fire man pounced on her! The Yankees were burned to the ground, leaving only a pile of bone slag on the ground, a black piece like charcoal that had been burned dozens of times!
I could even hear my heartbeat, and the people who were alive before were dead, and they were all dead!
"Harness the fireflies! I wish you the fireflies under the seat! Sun Da's expression was even more terrified than when he saw the bloody corpse before!
"Let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late! The green tendons on Sun Da's neck burst out directly!
This person was unlucky to drink cold water and stuffed his teeth, my heart tightened suddenly, a red light came to me, the sound of insects buzzing and flapping their wings sounded to me like a requiem in the Yama Temple, I was trembling in both legs, below the cliff and above was the fireworm, I couldn't hide!
I could only watch it fall on my head, and then a blazing fire engulfed me, and finally, like the Yankees, there was only a pile of slag and bones for posterity to mourn!
I've found that when people are on the verge of the line, they don't have to be nervous, they don't have to be tortured by these strange things anymore when they get to the underworld.
"Comrade Houtu, I may have to go to report to Marx and his old man first, don't worry, when I get there, I will definitely occupy a good position for you and let you be a good general!" That's the last thing I said.
"What the are you talking about?" Yu Houtu waved his hand in front of my eyes.
I opened my eyes to find that the scene was still the same scene, except that the firefly in front of me was gone. I followed two steps and found that the fireworms had not disappeared, but had all gathered together in front of the black-haired fox. The black-haired fox danced and screamed, and the floating fireflies fluttered their wings in response.
"Whew! Whew! Two white gases erupted from the nostrils of the black-haired fox, pointing to the bottom of the cliff, and the fireflies began to flutter in the air, then flew down in a line, and then completely disappeared from our sight.
After the fireworm disappeared, the black-haired fox barked at us twice, very proudly, and then shook his sturdy limbs and continued to move forward.
I still don't have a sense of relaxation in my heart, and I am still afraid for a while when I think about it, the fate of those Yankees is unforgettable for my life, and I would never have thought that a small bug could be so powerful. Fortunately, the black-haired fox saved the situation in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The back and forth was so fast that the oppressive atmosphere once again enveloped all of us.
The bones of those Yankees and everything were left in place, and we can't guarantee ourselves where we can still take care of others, Shizuko bowed her head to the ashes of the Yankees for two minutes in silence, and made a few gestures and said Amen before following us.
I have some disdain for Shizuko's actions, I didn't see her hesitate when she shot when the burning man pounced just now, the loaded trigger was simply done in one go, and now that people are dead here, it is really the most poisonous woman's heart.
Sometimes I feel that people are often much more terrible than ghosts, and ghosts are at most just an obsession in the world, but people are different, so it's not just an obsession, and the whole body is full of bad water, maybe when you get a trick under the lamp, just wait to admit it.
From this moment on, I was on guard against Shizuko, we didn't know much about her, we didn't know how she got into the tomb, we didn't know why she came here, her impatient momentum was not imitated, it was all real material.
At this time, I remembered Shizuko's request earlier, she had to pick something after the coffin was opened, and she didn't tell us what it was, but I felt that things were definitely not that simple.
