On the dirt on the ground in front of the building, there was a trail that stretched back to the mountain, left by someone dragging something. Baiyan Cave has a rare natural environment in feng shui, the temperature difference between day and night on the grassland desert is very large, but it is not obvious here, the temperature and humidity are high, and the special components in the soil have a natural preservation effect on the corpse, most of the dead corpses are turned into bird-like corpse feathers, and the world may not be able to find a second such place.

It is precisely because of the unique soil and the large gap between the soil particles that the soil is loose and soft, which makes the drag marks on the ground very obvious. When we first arrived at the main building of the institute, we had not seen this trace, no need to ask, it must have been the old sheepskin who dragged the yellow copper box into the mountain, although the copper box was not big, but it would be very difficult to carry it for a long time, he dragged the steel box into the corpse cave, God knows what he will do next.

Ding Sitian thinks about the good in everything, and she thinks that maybe the old sheepskin is trying to find a place to destroy the dangerous soul chest, so as not to stay in the world. I couldn't say for sure until I saw the old sheepskin, but I just said I wished it was, and then the three of them followed the trail up the hill.

The tingling and itching on my hands and the fat man gradually became unbearable, but I didn't dare to scratch it, and when I touched it, water flowed and I inhaled in pain. I was afraid that Ding Sitian would worry or blame her for causing us a burden, so I didn't dare to tell her about being poisoned, so I had to forcibly endure it, but I really can't say how long I can hold on in this situation.

But what makes me most gratifying is that I finally saved Ding Sitian's life, seeing that her body and spirit are much better, the pressure in my heart has also been reduced a lot, and I walked into the hill behind the research building with high spirits. I don't know whether this hillside is the cause of the landslide or the artificial blasting operation, showing a section of the mountain, the large and small caves in the belly of the mountain are all exposed, there are huge stone people and stone beasts arching the hole, in the many caves is the most huge, like a black hole hole, want to enter the depths, this huge mouth like the cave is the only passage.

We helped each other to touch the cave, the ghost fire inside was phosphorescent and shining, and the scenery was faintly visible, but it was not completely dark. There is no fork in the road in this cave, it is extremely high and wide, the stone wall is shady, and the deepest part of the cave is full of evil wind, which makes people hairy. About 200 paces away is a stepped cavern the size of four or five football fields, surrounded by square platforms in the shape of an inverted pyramid, which, judging by the various tools and lighting that remain, is a large excavation site, but the area is too large. I was worried about how to follow the traces left by the old sheepskin, when suddenly Ding Sitian, who was following next to me, shook his body, vomited a mouthful of black blood, and collapsed to the ground.

Ding Sitian suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground, the fat man and I panicked, and hurriedly helped her sit down against the wall, thinking that the poison in her had been suppressed by Shougong Xiang, but who expected to vomit black blood again. I was very uneasy, wondering if I had overdosed? Or did it not play a detoxification role at all, and only delayed the onset of toxicity?

But Ding Sitian struggled to stand up and continue to find the old sheepskin: "It's okay...... I'm just a little stuffy, but I feel more comfortable after spitting up this mouthful of blood, and I'll be fine after a while. Bayi, what kind of antidote did you and Chubby give me? What do I think of the ambiguity in my mouth......" As he spoke, he staggered to his feet and walked forward.

I saw that she was barely supporting, and it was difficult to judge her physical condition at the moment, but vomiting black blood was not a good state, but Ding Sitian was very stubborn, I had to help her continue to walk, and was asked by her what kind of antidote she gave her, so she naturally didn't dare to tell her the truth that she ate the lump of flesh on the Dashou Gongbiao itself, and only said: "Good medicine is bitter and good for disease, and it is a medicine that has three points of poison." Medicine, of course, is not as delicious as fruit candy, and this institute has been abandoned for many years, although the medicine stored in the warehouse has not deteriorated, but it is inevitable that there will be some ambiguity, and when we return to the pastoral area, I will tell you the origin of this antidote, which is guaranteed to make you feel interesting. ”

The fat man said, "That's right, I promise you that you will find it interesting, so before you listen to Lao Hu's story about medicine, it is best to review Ostrovsky's "How Steel is Made" again, and be fully mentally prepared." ”

I glared at the fat man, but fortunately Ding Sitian didn't understand too much, and thought that the fat man was letting her learn Paul Kochagin's tenacious perseverance in the face of illness, and she didn't go any further. I saw that her face was like gold paper, and she had a hard time walking, but I knew that it would be in vain to persuade her to stay and wait outside the cave, this girl was too stubborn, and she would never turn back lightly when she recognized one thing, so I had to let the fat man carry her on her back, and the three of them went deeper into the cave to find the missing old sheepskin.

There was a flickering light everywhere in the belly of the mountain, like ghost fire and ore, and by the light of the stars we could roughly see the outline of this huge excavation site. The ground that has been dug up layer by layer is distributed in a step-shape, and it is difficult to see what is in the deepest part outside, but some of the limbs of dead corpses are exposed in each layer of loess above, some of them expose half of their heads, and some of them show an arm, all of which have not yet been excavated from the soil, almost all of them are feathered, and all of them are full of corpse hair, as if they will crawl out of the soil at any time.

Probably the so-called "turtle sleeping place" in Feng Shui is here, and the special soil composition makes the corpse produce a similar state of feathering, but what is the use of this? Feathering and failed to immortal liberation to ascend to heaven, so many people were sincerely buried in this corpse cave after death, I am afraid it is also out of the ancient people's understanding and fear of the law of life and death, they can not accept the fact that people can only live once, and hope that life can be continued in other forms after death, so there is a legend such as the underworld, if there is really an undead after death, seeing their corpse become such a strange appearance, being dug around without respect, but I don't know how to feel.

The corpses were both men, women and children, and they were dressed in strange costumes, which we had never seen before. Today, we have seen too many strange-shaped corpses, and our nerves are a little numb, but standing in front of the excavation site where the corpses of 10,000 people are hidden, looking at the countless layers of zombies, we are still a little frightened, no wonder it is said that this ghost yamen is eighteen layers of hell, and the living will be scared to death when they arrive here.

This is a big cave full of dead bodies, except for the three of us, there is no shadow of half a living person at all, God knows what the old sheepskin dragged the copper box to do here, we estimate that the old sheepskin went to this dead pile of Huangshi pit has no meaning, it is likely to go deeper along the cave, so he followed the aisle at the edge of the excavation site, and continued to walk inside, on the way while anxiously looking around, while beckoning the name of the old sheepskin, let him come back quickly.

The fat man saw that he never saw the figure, and his heart became more and more anxious, he subjectively always thought that the old sheepskin was treason to the enemy, this cave is a north-south direction, and walked through a plateau to the north, which is the national border, so he asked me if I wanted to take a political offensive, and shouted propaganda to disintegrate the psychology of the old sheepskin, I thought to myself that this cave is too big, and it is not a way for us blind people to ride blind horses to find the past, it is better to follow what the fat man said, shout first, if the old sheepskin hides nearby, maybe he can be persuaded to change his mind and come out of the hole, He nodded in agreement.

At that moment, the fat man shouted into the depths of the cave: "I said that the old sheepskin, the one who fights upside down also eats by craftsmanship, and we are the internal contradictions of the people, why don't you want to take refuge in Su Xiu and do foolish things that cut yourself off from the people, that's a dead end...... Bruzhlev betrayed Marxism, betrayed Leninism, betrayed the October Revolution, Moscow was crying sadly, and the Monument to the Unknown Soldier was shedding tears...... You don't want to make a mistake for two pieces of brioche bread, it doesn't matter if you're on the wrong line, you just have to stand up again......"

I really couldn't listen to it anymore, so I quickly stopped the fat man, what kind of nonsense is this shouting, the level is too low, I was about to continue to promote the policy to the old sheepskin for him, but Ding Sitian grabbed it, she pointed to her feet and said, "You see that there is a way down, and there are fresh traces left by dragging heavy objects on it, did the old sheepskin grandpa go down to the depths of the excavation site from here?" ”

I looked down, as Ding Sitian said, every corner of the excavation site, there are gentle stone slopes, twisting and turning to the depths, the stone slopes are paved with stones, maybe they were also buried in the soil before, each layer of corpses was covered with a section, and later they were dug out by the Japanese people, the broken soil and mud and stones scattered in the soil layer filled this ramp, and there were traces of dragging things on the broken soil, the evil wind howled in the cave, and the cool air was very smooth, if the traces on the ramp were left a long time ago, it would never be as clear as now, It shows that the old sheepskin probably didn't go down for long.

The three of us were anxious to get the old sheepskin back, and then we left the nightmarish cave of the hundred eyes, and when we finally got a clue, we all cheered up and walked down the stone road. At this time, it is different from the feeling of looking at this corpse cave outside the pit, gradually lowering, almost clinging to the corpse of the loess section, the stone road is too narrow and narrow, the body rubs against the arms and feet of the dead man from time to time, and the cold and lifeless touch makes people's nerves more tense.

Even if it was fear and exhaustion, but no one proposed to give up, they all went down hard, the fat man hung a sapper light on his chest to explore the way in front, the three of them held hands and slowly rubbed down from the Pantuo-like stone road, looking downward, the middle of the road became darker and darker, and the deepest part was like a huge strange mouth, which looked gray and hazy, but it was not dark, it looked very unusual, and the fat man said to us: "How can this big earth pit bury the dead have such old depth, What do you think will be in the deepest part of this? ”

Ding Sitian said: "It's not a stone pit, there are so many corpses buried here, I'm afraid there are countless corpses below, this is a big tomb where tens of thousands of people are buried, I don't know what the old sheepskin grandfather is going to do in the depths of this big tomb......" After speaking, she couldn't help but worry about the old sheepskin, and wanted to speed up her pace, but her legs and feet were weak and didn't obey the call, if she wasn't pulled by me and the fat man, she almost fell.

I felt that her palms were full of cold sweat, and I knew that she was worried and harmful, and I thought, "This excavation site of the Japanese devils is obviously digging deeper, is there something important under this layer of corpses?" Could it be ...... "I'm worried that this ancient mound will be the hell where the flamée blows out of the legend, so I have to be cautious." So let the fat man and Ding Sitian not worry, even the mouse out of the hole has to be calculated first, so we should also be more careful, walk slower and use our brains more, carefully see the qiē here, in case of danger, it is good to advance and retreat.

Ding Sitian agreed with me very much, she asked me: "Your grandfather used to be a feng shui master, you learned a lot of miscellaneous studies from him, and the corpses in this big tomb are all dead and not decomposed, is that what you said about feng shui?" They...... It shouldn't come back to life all of a sudden, right? ”

I knew that she was going around the bend to ask me to find some reason for her not to be afraid, so I said to her: "My grandfather's set is all four old, although in recent years I think there is some truth in what he said, but I still can't listen to it." "As far as I know, in addition to the cause of Ding Feng Shui, there are many other factors, after a person dies, under the action of bacteria, the corpse usually has to decay, but this kind of bacteria that make the dead body rot needs to survive in a suitable temperature, and in a relatively humid environment, the climate is cold, or the weather is dry and hot, such as deserts and snow-capped mountains, there will be no such bacteria, so the dried corpses in the desert and the ice corpses on the snow-capped mountains will not rot.

There are also human factors, such as the deceased after death, the coffin is thick and elegant, the material is dense and impermeable, and then put lime and charcoal in the coffin to prevent moisture, forming a dry and constant temperature closed space, so that the bacteria can not move, the corpse in the coffin is not easy to decay, and may become a dry corpse, and even the water is still a wet corpse. In addition, there are some special cases, such as death from cholera, or suffering from diseases before death, most of the water in the body has been lost, and after death, it will quickly become a dry corpse, which is not easy to dissolve and dissolve. The dried corpse is shriveled in shape, weighs more than half as much as the new deceased, wrinkles and shrinks the skin, usually black and light brown, and hair and nails may continue to grow.

The rarest is corpse wax, such as fat or fatty corpses, which are thrown into the river or buried in saline-alkali ground, which is easy to form corpse wax on the surface of the corpse, so that the corpse does not rot, because in the water flow, the ** thing produced by the corpse will be washed away by the water, and the bacteria will also be taken away by the water, and the fat in the corpse will become something like soap, which is slippery and greasy, called "corpse wax".

When I was in middle school, I visited an exhibition of corpse specimens run by the Public Security Bureau, and I saw it with my grandfather, Hu Guohua, as a kind of popular science education to dispel superstitions. He said that although this exhibition is enough to popularize science and is very reasonable, it is not comprehensive, there are too many reasons why people in the world do not decay after death, and it is not something that can be covered by such a small exhibition, but those special things in my grandfather's mouth, I naturally dare not tell Ding Sitian, I only told her about the 100 million yuan of the popular science exhibition, and told her some of them according to the gourd painting, so that she no longer has to worry about the dead in the grave will cheat the corpse.

However, a person with a normal imagination is easy to associate with what he hears, the more scientifically speaking, the more everyone will associate some feudal superstitious legends, especially the fat man who takes a "ghost" out of place, always muttering that this ghost yamen is so evil, and now I don't feel anything when I walk in the depths, let alone see a ghost, isn't it just a pile of hairy dead corpses? There's a big deal! We were suspicious in the crematorium and thought that there was a ghost there, but in fact it was an old yellow skin, it seems that the ghost was born from the heart, and the mediocrity disturbed himself. Our minds armed with Marxist-Leninist ideology should not believe in that set of idealistic theories, this is a shame, a shame for materialists all over the world! But why are you fooled again and again? It seems that the lessons of history have not always been taken as a warning by future generations, and this is the objective law of class struggle, not the will of man......

In the midst of the fat man's incessation to excuse himself, we had come in circles to the end of the spiraling stone path, where there was a hole, sealed with white round gravel piles, on which many oriental ghost drawings were affixed. The devils of the Wa Kingdom are suspicious that this Hundred Eyes Cave is haunted, and many places have similar ghost suppression charms, including the strange structure of the incinerator, all for the purpose of warding off evil spirits, but the so-called haunting may just be a haunting.

The gravel wall in front of us has been picked up, a large hole is exposed in front of us, there is a gray light inside, I thought that this big tomb is already the bottom, who would have thought that there is a deeper space below, we didn't dare to go in directly, shouted the old sheepskin a few times at the entrance of the cave, saw no response, had to decide to go deeper, I don't believe that this cave is bottomless.

The fat man still took the lead, he carried the Kangxi treasure knife, and while greeting the name of the old sheepskin, he walked in with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and I helped Ding Sitian to follow him. After walking more than 20 steps, the fat man suddenly stopped, and whispered to us in a panic: "Old Hu, Sitian, which of you two said that there was no ghost just now?" It's so irresponsible, look ahead...... That...... What are those? ”

I walked a few steps, looked forward, and felt goosebumps on my body, the secret road is not good, such a large area of ancient buildings and palaces, where is this? And in those ancient buildings, there seems to be something moving, could it be that he has strayed into the Yama Palace?
