Chapter Eighty-Five: A Ghost Without a Soul
It's a memorable sight where you can watch the floating corpses come from afar and disappear from under your nose, as if they were there to say hello to you. Neither I nor Cha Wenbin himself can be calm, this has exceeded everything we could have expected.
"Withdraw......" This was Cha Wenbin who said it from Cha Wenbin's mouth, and my voice trembled a little when I heard him say this.
"Let's ......" The nearest one next to me by the ladder is the fat man, and the so-called platform is actually a stone of one square size, and the fat man alone can't wait to occupy half of it. It's easy to make mistakes in this panic, and this mistake is that the fat man turns around, and then his fat ass squeezes my whole body off......
I don't know how I went down, but I remember the water was shallow, but it was up to the calf, but when I went down it it was like falling into a bottomless lake.
There was a "buzz", and then I felt in my mouth, in my nose, countless amounts of water began to rush towards me from all sides, and I still had a miner's lamp on my head, and I struggled desperately in the water, and I couldn't find my way.
In the confusion, I looked up and found myself sinking, a white dot on the water farther and farther away from me......
When I woke up, I didn't know where I was, it was pitch black, and I could hear the sound of water rhythmically lapping on the rocky beach. I wanted to move, I felt weak, my hands, my feet, and my neck hurt and I gasped, but a voice in my head told me: I'm alive!
I patted the miner's lamp on my head with my hand very hard, and I was very angry, it turned on! The water here is cold, my body temperature is draining rapidly, and I know that the next moment I will freeze to death if I don't move away.
It was a way of climbing, dragging the parts that did not obey the call, inch by inch, and finally when I leaned against a rock, I saw a huge splash on the water not far away, and after a while a man emerged from the water and swam like the shore.
Probably less than two meters away from that person, another person also followed out after only half a minute, how could there be someone else in these two people, isn't it the fat man and Cha Wenbin!
After the fat man came ashore, he put his hands on his knees, panted heavily, and said, "Suffocate me......"
There was another person who was inferior to him, almost as virtuous as when I first came up, and I was also unable to protect myself at that time, and the three of them fell down in three places one after another and rested for a long time before relieving slightly.
There was hay by the water's edge, and some wood that had washed ashore, and we collected some and lit a fire, what season is this? In the Northeast of that year, urinating in this kind of day could freeze. The three men sat around the fire in only single clothes, their lower lips on their upper lips, until their bodies warmed up a little.
After saying that I was squeezed down by the fat man, the two of them only heard the sound of me falling into the water, and then looked down to find where there were still my people, and what was even more strange was that the corpses that were originally floating on the water were also gone. Except for a little wave, the whole water surface was quiet, and the fat man and Cha Wenbin immediately went into the water to find me, but the water here was so deep, and I was so big that a living person could climb and get up.
The two of them also panicked, and they touched it back and forth, including with their hands, and I evaporated from the world.
At the critical moment, the fat man was still in his brain, and he noticed a small detail, there were a few leaves swirling above the water flow below the platform, that place we had not been to for a long time, and the floating corpses were enough to deter us. He took a bold step forward, and suddenly the water under his feet began to exert force, and a huge, unreasonable force instantly tied the fat man's legs, and he was dragged to the ground with a "bang".
Cha Wenbin simply thought that the fat man had just slipped, he turned around and wanted to pull, but the fat man disappeared under his nose. Then the whirlpool on the surface of the water began to grow larger, so much so that Cha Wenbin was also pulled in by that force.
"Fell down?" I looked overhead, but it was only three or four meters high, and it was full of upside-down stalactites, and the water was falling down, "ticking, ticking", but it was clear that the three of us were floating from the water......
"I see!" The fat man patted his head and said, "I haven't figured out what's going on after thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Xiaye, I really have to blame you for this." ”
"Blame me? You didn't squeeze me off with a butt. "I thought to myself that coming to such a ghost place, I can't go to the village in front of me, I can't go to the store in the back, God knows if I can go out, you still have the fucking heart to talk about me.
"I mean, I blame you for smashing it too accurately, in my opinion, this is a typical karst landscape. But this is a bit unexpected to me, this thing is more in Yunnan, Guichuan and Guangxi, but I didn't expect that there are also in southern Anhui. ”
"It's not surprising, there is a Tai Chi cave in the next county, it's always fun, I went to my mother when I was a child...... You continue. ”
The fat man pointed not far away and said, "Have you noticed, in the short time we have been here, the water level here is rising. I had noticed that the pointed stone was on the shore, and now the part underneath it was already in the water. ”
Cha Wenbin said: "What does this mean? ”
"Explains how we got here!" The fat man gestured with his hand, "This is my left hand, and here is the river we went down through the coal mine just now; This is my right hand, and this is where we are now. ”
I noticed that the fat man's left and right hands were parallel at this time, and then he lowered his right hand slightly down and said: "There should have been an underground river between this left hand and the right hand, which is very common in karst landscapes, but it is estimated that the movement was too big during the mining and blocked the passage between the left hand and the right hand. If you want to say Xiao Xia Ye, you should lose weight recently, because you suddenly **, the force is too great, and you just happened to hit the originally blocked passage between your left hand and your right hand. In this way, there is an instantaneous siphon effect. ”
"What's a siphon?" I was at a loss for both the inquiry.
"Why don't you two be uneducated!" The fat man made an analogy: "Have you ever seen a wine seller in a commissary?" A leather tube is inserted into the vat, and the other end is followed by a bottle, and when a person sucks it with his mouth and puts it with his hand, the wine comes out of the vat. We are now in that wine bottle, which was equivalent to being in the wine vat before, and Xiao Xia Ye, you just smashed the pipe that came out of the wine, I said, how can it be so suction. ”
Cha Wenbin nodded approvingly: "I kind of understand, the stone is estimated to be the ** is not far from ten." ”
"Just like him, pull it down, then do you say that those floating corpses came down together, why didn't I see any of them?"
The fat man said: "I have to ask Cha Ye about this, I also wonder, those corpses disappeared when you fell." ”
Cha Wenbin said: "I also thought that the biggest possibility is that those things are not corpses. ”
"What is it?"
"It's a spirit."
I said, "That's the ghosts, how many ghosts must have been, it's good to fall, otherwise it's miserable!" ”
"The spirit is not a ghost, and the essence of a person is divided into two parts, one is the soul, which comes from the "weather", that is, the yang energy; The second is spirit, which comes from "earth qi", that is, yin qi. The soul and the two qi, one yin and one yang, complement each other and are indispensable. The soul is the spirit, and the soul is in the body, when the soul is just out of the body, it remains in the form before death, and the longer the time passes, the more blurred it becomes, until it finally slowly disappears, and it needs to be attached to the living person or need to eat other souls to maintain the body.
But in some special cases, the soul and the soul will be separated, and the soul without the soul together is a shell, if you can imagine the ghost entity, then the spirit can be understood as a ghost without a soul. ”
"And where are they going?"
Cha Wenbin said: "The spirit is like the you in the mirror, when we are alive, the you see in the mirror is your spirit, it looks like it has an actual form, but you can't touch it." Those things in the water are spirits, and the sudden disappearance of those spirits is probably related to your falling into the water, and the changes in the water surface are like a mirror being broken, and those spirits disappear with it. If I'm not mistaken, the corpses we saw at the time were supposed to be mirror images, but I don't really know where they were projected from. ”
"It sounds like it's hanging, I don't plan to stay in this ghost place for a long time, Cha Ye, now we want to go back, it's probably difficult, the power of siphoning is very large, it's easy to get in and hard to get out. Soon, we'll starve to death if we don't freeze to death. ”
At this time, no one can guarantee that we will return alive, and at the age of twenty, the word death seems to be far away from me.
All of a sudden, it was quiet again, the sound of firewood crackling, the sound of water, I was probably very uncomfortable, and I yelled at the top of my voice: "I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet!" ”
"Haha!" The fat man laughed, and Cha Wenbin also laughed, the biggest enemy at this time is actually himself, the more he suppresses it, the more he can't control it, the more he thinks about people, the more depressed he becomes, and finally traps himself to death!
I counted the things, basically all the things I brought are still there, especially the three mining lamps, which the fat man got from Zhou Youcai, at that time, the high-end goods that were specially supplied to the coal mining department, measured by the fat man's standards, this is military-grade, and a charge can be managed for eight hours, we plan to use only one mining lamp to save electricity.
When the clothes were dry, he baked two more loaves to satisfy his hunger, and he had planned to withdraw at dawn, but the supplies brought two loaves of bread with each person, saying that they were for snacks. After eating enough and warming up, we got up and looked here, it was about the size of two houses, and the irregular round water surface, but fortunately, the water was flowing, and we planned to try it out in the direction of the current......
Say:
I went back to my hometown for two days and came back in the evening
