Chapter 14: The Ghost Gate

Professor Zhang seemed to think of something and said to us: "I don't think it's that the navigation system is broken, it's not that the compass is malfunctioning collectively, but that some factor is interfering with these electronic devices, maybe it's a magnet or something."

After pondering for a moment, Tan Jia nodded: "Hmm! I was wondering before that the navigation system we were equipped with, as well as the compass, were all quality-guaranteed, and there was no reason for them to malfunction for no reason. Now that Professor Zhang has said this, I think this is very likely. ”

Professor Zhang continued: "Imagine if there were a large number of magnets in our vicinity, and we followed the direction of the compass, what do you think would be the result? ”

Liu Dapeng looked at the surrounding places and said, "The result is that no matter how we go, we will return to the place where the magnet is hidden, because the compass will be affected by the magnet and will point the direction all the way to where the magnet is." So, no matter how we go, as long as we follow the direction of the compass, we will be taken back to the place where the magnet is hidden, can we understand it this way? ”

Professor Zhang nodded noncommittally, and he told us that the compass will naturally not have errors without the interference of external forces, but once the magnet is involved, the pointer will change, from the original due south, to the place where the magnet exists. The navigation system is a sophisticated electronic instrument, once it hits a magnet, it will also be disturbed, resulting in system paralysis and other phenomena.

And last night, we lost the direction of the sun and kept following the direction of the compass, so no matter which direction we started, the compass would guide us to the same place. For some reason, things look very weird, but in fact, we are just careless, and we don't notice the slightest deviation on the compass.

Professor Zhang said with some complacency: "Fortunately, it was a sunny day, so I found that the direction of the sun is opposite to the direction marked on the compass, otherwise, we would still be in a fog." But now that we know it's the magnet that's doing the trick, don't worry too much, we can definitely get out of here with the sun in the direction. ”

In this case, we didn't stop too much, we packed everything up, and under the leadership of the big yellow dog, we headed in the direction of the rising sun. This time, everyone was in a good mood, talking and laughing along the way, and they would never see the panicked atmosphere of yesterday again.

On the way, we saw a lot of white bones in the forest, some of them were human, some of them were animals, the number was very large, and the age was also different, so it can be seen that many people and beasts have been trapped in this forest from ancient times to the present. According to Professor Zhang, magnets can not only affect machines, but also human brain nerves can be disturbed and make wrong judgments, and magnets are a key link in the disappearance of humans and animals.

The deeper we went, the denser the fog in the dense forest became, and from a distance, it looked like a black floating cloth, and even the sun above our heads could only vaguely see a cloud of light, which showed the thickness of the fog. At the entrance of Heizhugou, there are magnets and fog, which is simply a natural lost place.

At noon, we finally walked out of this dense forest, we rested on a high ground, and looked back, and in fact the dense forest we traveled through was very large, covering an area of ten miles in a straight direction. And in the middle of the dense forest, although there was a heavy fog, we could vaguely see a black peak.

"If you see that black peak, I suspect that it is a magnet mountain range, and the area where we got lost before must be around the black peak, no matter how we advance, we are just circling around the black peak." As if remembering something, Professor Zhang patted his head, and he continued: "In the past, it was rumored that there had been many incidents of inexplicable disappearances of planes in the area of Heizhugou, and now I estimate that it must be because of this magnetic mountain. ”

Magnet is a kind of suction metal, as long as it is something in steel, it will be affected to a certain extent, and precision electronic instruments are more susceptible to magnetic interference. There is a radar system on the plane, which is most susceptible to magnetic interference, and the reason why the plane crashed here must be that the radar system has been interfered with by magnets.

For example, the radar of the aircraft shows that there are no obstacles in front of it, and the plane can move forward smoothly and quickly, but suddenly a big mountain appears on the opposite side, and because the speed is too fast, the pilot has no time to avoid it, and as a result, he crashes headlong on the mountain, which naturally leads to the destruction of the plane and the death of people. And the pilot didn't figure out until he died, why there was a big mountain in front of him, but there was no display on the radar?

Leaving aside the matter of Cishan, I didn't think about it, but I looked back and looked ahead carefully, and found that a few hundred meters in front of me was a bare mountain, about more than 100 meters high. When we arrived in front of the mountain, we found that there was a crack in the middle of the whole mountain, as if it had been split in half by the giant with an axe, dividing the mountain into two, and the crack in the middle was an authentic "line of heaven".

Shunzi told us that the mountain in front of us has a very terrible name, called "Ghost Gate Pass", which is the place where the Yi people talk about the color change. The patriarchs of the Yi nationality have left more ancient teachings, after the ghost gate is the territory of the devil, and all the descendants of the Yi nationality are not allowed to enter without permission.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the whole country responded to the call of Taizu to defeat all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and break the tumor of feudal superstition, and the taboo of the ghost gate was abolished at that time. However, the taboo is broken, but the shadow hidden in the hearts of the Yi compatriots still exists, so no one has entered the ghost gate so far, and it seems to have become an eternal forbidden place in the hearts of the Yi compatriots.

Biaozi likes to nag about some ghosts and gods, and when he heard Shunzi say this, he asked with some curiosity: "Ghost gate?" I've only heard that there is a place in the underworld called the Ghost Gate, which is the only way for the newly dead ghosts, and only through the so-called Ghost Gate can we really reach the underworld. ”

Shunzi shook his head, he told us that this place was not called Ghost Gate Pass before, but the place where the ancestors of the ancient Yi people lived, and it was the birthplace of the Yi people.

It is said that the original form of the Headless King is nothing more than a thousand-year-old corpse, and by chance, he has cultivated the evil law and has the ability to call the wind and rain. The headless king likes to eat blood the most, and it is the blood of boys and girls, relying on his own evil law boundless, often kidnapping children in the villages of the Yi ancestors.

When the patriarch of the ancient Yi tribe learned about this, he gathered the warriors of the village, brought bows and arrows and hunting knives, and went to the headless king to take revenge. Unexpectedly, the headless king has recently sucked human blood, and the evil law has increased greatly, and the warriors who went to round him up have gone and never returned, and they all ended up with corpses in different places.

The patriarch knew that he was no match for the headless king's witchcraft, so in desperation, he had no choice but to take the clansmen away overnight and live in the outer part of Heizhugou. Since then, the Yi people no longer dare to enter the Heizhugou, and call it the "Ghost Gate", and also leave an ancient precept that future generations are not allowed to enter without authorization.

When Biaozi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and he said to Junzi: "Damn, how can you say that it is like a fantasy, since he is a headless king, how can he suck human blood, is he sucking blood with his neck?" You ancient Yi ancestors are really nonsense, there are still so many loopholes in making up a story, and you people believe that if you want to put it aside, whoever believes is a bastard. ”

Listening to this legend, we entered the rift valley and saw a huge stone monument erected on the road ahead. The stele is as high as a floor, two meters wide, and has a series of ghostly characters written on it, giving people a very quaint taste.

Due to the age, after countless years of wind and rain, there are many small cracks on the stele, just afraid that a violent vibration, this stele will be completely shattered. The words on the stele are carved, densely carved all over the stele, the font is somewhat like the ancient tadpole text, none of us people know it, naturally we don't know the meaning of the stele appearing here.

As soon as Junzi saw the stone tablet, his face changed very ugly, and he muttered to himself: "It turns out that the legend is true, and behind the ghost gate, it is really a place where you can't set foot in it." ”

Seeing that Shunzi saw some famous halls, Tan Jia asked: "Brother Junzi, can you understand the words on it and what is written on it?" ”

"Yes, this is the ancient script of our Yi people, which should be left by the ancient ancestors." Seeing our expectant looks, Shunzi said without the slightest concealment: "This is a warning tablet, to the effect that the descendants of the Yi nationality will immediately return from the original way after seeing this monument, because there is a man-eating demon god inside, no matter whether it is human or animal, once it enters, it will not come back alive." ”

I vaguely guessed something, but I was interested, and I couldn't help but ask Junko, "Is the demon god written above referring to the legendary headless king?" ”

Junzi's face became a little ugly, and after hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "Your guess is very right, the so-called demon god refers to the headless king." ”

Sankra said with some schadenfreude: "In this way, the matter of the headless king is really not a fantasy, but it is true, otherwise the ancient Yi people would not have made such a big monument to warn future generations." But that's okay, the third uncle and his group will definitely enter here one step ahead of us, and they will fight the headless king, and we can save a lot of trouble. ”

Biaozi glanced at Sankra with disdain, and said with a disdainful expression: "What bullshit demon god, do you really believe this?" I think that the headless king is just a thousand-year-old zombie at best, if he can call the wind and rain, he can still stay in this mountain, doesn't he want to go to the outside world of flowers and flowers to walk around? ”

Looking at the stone stele, Tan Jia took out the demeanor of the Iron Lady instructor, and said decisively to everyone: "You don't have to quarrel, no matter what the truth of the matter is, since we are here, we must go in and have a look, but everyone should be careful, I am afraid that the third uncle's group will leave people in ambush." ”

Tan Jia was saying this, suddenly, in the depths of the rift valley, a terrible scream came, in this valley, the scream was extremely harsh, making everyone startled. Before we could recover our senses, another scream was heard, accompanied by a few gunshots.
