Fifty years ago, Wuyi Mountain, Fujian.

A group of three people rode a bamboo raft, rocking chairs in the stream, and walked down the river. The man dressed as an old fisherman was holding the bamboo raft and inhaling the dry tobacco in his mouth. Because he pumped too hard, he coughed twice from time to time.

The three people sitting on the bamboo raft are an old and a young man, a woman and a man. One of the young men wore highly myopic glasses and held a book in his hand. But at the moment he was a little absent-minded, and from time to time the corner of his eye glanced at the young woman sitting across from him.

The last one was an older man standing in front of a bamboo raft with a quaint map in his hand. While checking the map, you scanned the towering cliffs around the stream. After the bamboo raft made another sharp turn, large and small caves began to appear on the cliff wall in front of him.

The older man's eyes flashed, and he excitedly pointed to the cliff on the side and said, "I found it, I finally found it." As I expected, it's really here. The old man of the boatman followed the old man's finger and looked at the cliff. He also saw this cave, and suddenly his face changed, and he plunged the long bamboo pole in his hand into the water, and the whole bamboo row shook violently, and was stopped by the old man of the boatman.

The young man was taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and was a little caught off guard, and almost fell headlong into the water. couldn't help but be a little annoyed, glared at the old man of the boatman and said, "Old man, what are you doing, if you want to stop the boat, you should notify in advance." The old man of the boatman trembled and said in Hokkien: "This is a place of death, a forbidden place." I can't go any further, if you want to go, you can go yourself. ”

The young man was displeased and said, "How can this be reasonable, old man, you have received our money, how can you go back on your word now?" At this time, the young woman stretched out her hand and stood in front of the young man and said, "Okay Xiao Li, don't embarrass the old man, it's okay to get here, we still have to go by ourselves for the rest of the way, Professor Wang, what do you think?" ”

Professor Wang didn't speak, but continued to stare at the cave on the cliff, and nodded his head in agreement with the young woman's proposal. Xiao Li saw that the two of them agreed, although they were unwilling, but they had nothing to say. began to pack up and salute, and asked the young woman as he collected it, "Xiaoya, how are we going to go on the road ahead?" Either the cliffs of the high song or the rushing streams. ”

Xiao Ya smiled at Xiao Li and pointed to the cliff on the side and said, "How else can you walk, climb up, take the mountain road." Otherwise, we don't have a bamboo raft, are you going to swim? After that, he ignored Xiao Li's depressed expression, took out the telescopic from the backpack, and began to put it on himself.

In a few minutes, he finished dressing, took out an old-fashioned climbing pick, patted against the steep rock wall on the side, and struck the climbing pickaxe, and his body was dexterous like an ape, and he climbed up more than two meters high with agility at once. More than half an hour later, Xiao Ya had already climbed into one of the caves, and after fixing the rope, she threw down a long rope and said to Professor Wang and Xiao Li, "Professor, Xiao Li, come up quickly." ”

Professor Wang went first, and after Professor Wang also climbed into the cave, Xiao Li began to roll up his sleeves and take a deep breath to start climbing, although it was his first time climbing, but Xiao Li was holding his breath in his heart at the moment, he didn't want Xiao Ya to underestimate himself. He spat on the palms of his hands, rubbed his palms, and began to climb.

Suddenly, the old boatman mysteriously patted Xiao Li on the shoulder, and the frightened Xiao Li slipped and almost fell into the water. If it weren't for the old boatman's quick hand to grab Xiao Li's belt, Xiao Li would definitely be ugly this time. After Xiao Li stood firm, he felt a little resentful in his heart, thinking: Why can't this dead old man live with himself, every time he finds an opportunity to scare himself.

Just when Xiao Li was about to speak ill of him, the old boatman said in Hokkien dialect: "Young man, I see that you are different from them. It's weird on this cliff, so be careful. They knew at a glance that it was definitely okay for them not to protect themselves if they weren't ordinary people, but you couldn't say. So here's a charm that you use to ward off evil spirits. ”

After that, he stuffed a piece of yellow paper into the pocket of Xiao Li's clothes, Xiao Li is a person who believes in science, and has always dared not take risks with feudal superstition. He was about to refuse and return the charm to the old boatman. Turning his head to look, he saw the old boatman's firm eyes, and heard Xiaoya's urging above, so he quickly touched his pocket, grabbed a note, stuffed it to the old man without looking at it, and said thank you at the same time, and began to climb the rock wall.

Xiao Li came to the cave, finally took a breath, and looked up to find the traces of Xiao Ya and Professor Wang. As soon as he looked up, he saw a wooden box, very large, Xiao Li took a closer look, and immediately understood what this was, this was a coffin. Having never touched such a thing as a coffin, Xiao Li consciously felt a chill down his spine, and his body subconsciously took a few steps back until he took a bite under his feet.

As soon as his body was light, the whole person fell down the cliff. Xiao Li only had time to let out a miserable scream, and his heart was in his throat. A thought appeared in my heart: It's over, this time it's dead, such a cliff with a vertical drop of more than ten meters. Can you still survive this fall? Then Xiao Li felt a pain in the back of his head, as if he had hit the cliff, and then his whole head buzzed, and he lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Li felt a dry mouth, and his whole body was extremely sore. Especially the back of the head seemed to have an extra circle, Xiao Li struggled to prop up his body, wiped towards the back of his head, and found that the back of his head had been bandaged. Xiao Li came back to his senses at this time, it seems that he is not dead, he was saved.

Thinking of this, his heart settled down a little, and after touching the glasses and putting them on, Xiao Li found himself lying in a strange cave. Seeing that there were traces of artificial excavation on the cave, it was dark all around, and when he felt out a match, Xiao Li slipped a match and lit a candle.

Then the faint light of the fire, Xiao Li looked around, intending to find the traces of Xiao Ya and Professor Wang. When I looked around, my cold hairs stood up. There were coffins all around me, and I felt like I was sleeping in a pile of coffins. Xiao Li was so frightened that he opened his throat and shouted the names of Xiao Ya and Professor Wang.

After a few shouts, there was no movement in the empty cave except for the echo of its own pitch. Xiao Ya and Professor Wang didn't seem to be in this cave at all, and Xiao Li was even more panicked now. I began to hold a candle in the cave to check it, the more I looked at it, the colder my heart became, this cave is not big, only a dozen square meters.

It can be explored in a few clicks, and except for some salutes in the distance, there is no trace of Professor Wang and Xiao Yazhen. At this time, Xiao Li's head began to think uncontrollably, could it be that they had encountered an accident? With Xiao Li's understanding of Professor Wang and Xiao Ya, they will not leave themselves alone no matter what.

Thinking of Xiao Ya's gentle smile, Xiao Li's heart warmed, and a courage rose from which he didn't know where it came from. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, walked to the door of the cave step by step, looked outside, and found that the outside of the cave was empty, only a metal fixing ring was left on the cave wall, and the rope was nowhere to be found.

They came with two ropes this time, one of which should be in their bag. The other one was supposed to be fixed to the cliff, but now the rope is gone. Thinking of this, Xiao Li's heart jumped again, and he hurriedly came to salute and rummaged through it. One two, two ropes are there. Xiao Li's heart sank now, without using a rope, how did the two of them leave this cave? Could it be that the wings flew away?

But this cave is such a big place, where can there be a place to hide people? No, it seems that there are still places that I haven't checked clearly. Thinking of this, Xiao Li's whole body felt goosebumps, could it be that they were hiding in the coffin?

This is also too nonsense, the wood of these coffins is very old, for Xiao Li, who studies archaeology, although he can't judge the specific age, but it is conservatively estimated that it is thousands of years ago. Could it be that Xiaoya and Professor Wang will sleep in a coffin thousands of years ago?

All possibilities have been ruled out, and the only one that remains, even if it is unscientific and unreasonable, is the truth. Thinking of this, Xiao Li settled down and walked towards the largest coffin in the cave. After taking a closer look at the coffin,

The shape of the coffin is rather strange, with a hole on each side, and the bottom of the coffin is upturned at both ends, with a distinct boat shape. The coffin is somewhat broken, about three meters to four meters long, about half a meter wide, about one meter high, the head and tail of the coffin extend outward about half a meter respectively, the head of the coffin lid stretches out more than half a meter, almost seventy centimeters, the coffin lid is about twenty centimeters longer than the coffin, and the head is slightly upturned.

Since Xiao Li studied archaeology, this is the first time he has come into contact with coffins, and this is not a good start at all. Xiao Li has fantasized many times about the environment in which the first archaeological coffin opening meeting will be, but he never expected that in this situation, the night is dark and the wind is high, alone, in a strange cave, to try to open such a different coffin.

When Xiao Li touched the coffin board, he felt that his heartbeat was about to stop. He had never been so nervous, and perhaps such nervousness and fear were the instinctive fear of the unknown in human beings. No matter how Xiao Li breathes deeply and how he makes psychological hints, once it is relieved, it has no effect, and his heart beats faster and faster. Xiao Li felt that if he didn't open it again, his heart might jump out of his throat.

With a fierce force, accompanied by Xiao Li's strange scream, the entire coffin board made a squeaky sound. Then there was a click, and the entire coffin board was completely pushed open, and it smashed to the ground, splashing dust. Xiao Li was already nervously closing his eyes, and he didn't even notice that the candle in his hand was extinguished by the dust splashed by the coffin board.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Li felt that his whole body was stiff, and he slowly opened his eyes, wanting to see what was inside the coffin. As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt that the light in front of me seemed to be wrong, the candle was orange, and what I saw in front of me seemed to be a green light.

Turning his head to look at the candle in his hand, this time his heart was even cooler, and the candle in his hand had already been extinguished. Looking at the light source again, my heart is cool and cool, because the light source is actually coming from the coffin. The turquoise light was still a small area, and this light was very cold, and Xiao Li didn't dare to check what the light was coming from.

He turned around and went back to the side of the salute and lit the candle in his hand. As Xiao Li turned around, he found that the light behind him was brighter, and this glowing thing seemed to move. Don't play like this! Xiao Li shouted in his heart, Professor Wang, Xiao Ya, where are you? Help me!

Thinking of this, Xiao Li's legs were weak, his body trembled unobeyed, no matter how Xiao Li controlled it, his body couldn't move for half a minute. Once the fear of shock is overloaded, the person is no longer afraid. Xiao Li felt that the glowing things seemed to be getting deeper and deeper, and his heart was horizontal, let's die, I will die if I die, I want to see what is emitting this kind of light.

Turning his head, Xiao Li opened his eyes fiercely. After seeing the things in front of him clearly, all the strength of Xiao Li's entire body seemed to be taken away, and he sat down on the ground at once. He saw a human face, no, it was a flame, a turquoise flame. Xiao Li felt that his mind was about to collapse, this blue-green flame was actually floating in the air, and the flame was the size of a human head, and the center of the flame was a burning human face.

This human face has a very hideous expression, and the boss with his mouth open seems to be smiling. I couldn't see the skin clearly, and my eyes were deeply sunken, leaving two eye sockets, and green flames were dancing in the eye sockets. When Xiao Li saw this human-faced ghost fire for the first time, he suddenly felt that his worldview had collapsed, he had believed in science for many years, studied textbooks for many years, and there was no scientific basis to explain everything he saw in front of him.

Xiao Li was still on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and more human-faced ghost fires in the coffin began to float out of it one by one. It didn't take long for more than a dozen ghostly fires to emerge, and they emitted this turquoise light to illuminate everything around them.

When Xiao Li came back to his senses a little, he had already found that he had been surrounded by human-faced ghost fires unconsciously, and there were human-faced ghost fires all around. A chill that penetrated through the skin and penetrated deep into the soul kept hitting Xiao Li. Xiao Li's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, and Xiao Li's heart was cold. It's over, it's over, it's really dead this time.

But Xiao Li is unwilling at this moment, he is still young and has a bright future. Is the first archaeology going to die so unclear? No, I don't want to die! A strong will to win burned from his heart, and Xiao Li didn't know where a strong courage came from. Grabbing the half of the candle in his hand, he swept towards the nearest human-faced ghost fire.

Even if you die, you have to fight, if you die here if you don't do anything, Xiao Li feels that she will die without a blind eye. The moment the palm of his hand touched the ghost fire of the human face, a strange cold pierced through the ancient skin, and it attacked Xiao Li along the bloodline. Xiao Li felt as if his palms were frozen at this moment, and the moment the cold snap invaded, Xiao Li's whole body trembled, and he was much more awake.

He knew that if he didn't run again, once all these ghost fires were attached to him, he would freeze to death. Xiao Li was half-squatting, exerting strength on all fours, and crawled towards the entrance of the cave before escaping. The distance of more than ten meters is like a moat for Xiao Li now, and it is very difficult to climb every step.

Streams of cold currents kept swirling behind his head, and Xiao Li knew that these ghosts and fires had been following him all along. He didn't dare to look back, he didn't dare to think about it, he could only crawl on instinct. Just when he was only one step away from the mouth of the cave, suddenly Xiao Li heard a haunting voice behind him, it was Xiao Ya.

The voice was weak, ethereal, hallucinational. Xiao Li only needs one last step to climb out of the cave and jump off the cliff, as long as he can fall into the stream below, there is still a glimmer of life. But right now, he has never been able to take this step. Xiao Li couldn't abandon Xiao Ya to escape alone, and suddenly Xiao Li turned his head in a daze.

He finally saw clearly, the human-faced ghost fire behind him was only a shot away from the tip of his pen, and looking at the human-faced ghost fire at such a close distance, it was terrifying, not to mention how terrifying. Xiao Li screamed, and his body began to flash backwards, and then he felt empty under him, and Xiao Li suddenly felt relieved, because he knew that he had fallen off the cliff again.

As Xiao Li slid off the cliff again, he looked up and saw the sky outside the cave, the stars were already there, and the moon was shining silvery-white. At this moment, Xiao Li suddenly felt so peaceful, but unfortunately it backfired, the tranquility did not last long, and the cave stretched out and let out a terrible scream.

The voice was extremely sharp, Xiao Li's scalp was numb, and goosebumps fell all over his body. Then, in just a few seconds, Xiao Li saw through the afterglow that in the cave, a very bright blue-green light burned violently, and a large flame rushed towards his location.

I'll go! Xiao Li was already too frightened and a little delirious, and at this moment fear seemed to be only the second among his many emotions, and the first was anger, a nameless anger. I'm like this, won't you people let me go? Thinking of this, Xiao Li touched his pocket and found a note in his pocket. The half-cut candle just now has long since disappeared, and now all that can be used in his hand is this piece of paper, without thinking about it, Xiao Li pinched the note into a paper ball and threw it towards the large flame.

However, the speed of the spread of this flame far exceeded his imagination, and almost the moment Xiao Li threw out the note, the flame had already appeared in front of Xiao Li, only a foot away. At this moment, Xiao Li saw clearly, there was a vague humanoid thing in the flames, that long flowing hair, that delicate face, these are the characteristics that Xiao Li has in the unforgettable person.

The moment the note flew out, it came into contact with the ghost fire, and the paper began to burn violently, and a large red fireball appeared out of thin air. Xiao Li saw clearly at this moment that the paper ball he threw out was a charm, a charm given to him by the old boatman.

Xiao Ya's face was wrapped in the ghost fire of the human face, and she was burned by the big red fireball, and began to struggle violently, her mouth was open and closed, and she wanted to say something to Xiao Li, but she didn't make any sound. But Xiao Li understood, and that lip shape was saying help. No! Lesser! With the last trace of residual thought, Xiao Li fell under the cliff.
