Yunnan Worm Valley Chapter 38 Skylight

I fell from the big wooden beam, and was suspended in the air by the ropes like those empty clothes, and hung there with my head and feet on the ground. As soon as I thought of the mercury mechanism in this apse, maybe it was to keep some secret, I felt a tightness in my waist, and Shirley Yang and the fat man were pulling the rope with their hands, slowly pulling me back to the wooden beam.

My brain was running rapidly, and I saw that there was more and more mercury in the hall, and it had already passed the belly of the six-legged copper tripod, and it would only take a few more moments to completely cover the painting walls and stone tablets. The place where the mercury trap will be triggered at the slightest touch is supposed to be the place where the "secret" is hidden, and it must be somewhere among the murals, stone tablets, and black copper tripods, where is it?

Probably due to the reversal of the body and the blood flow, the scene in the hall also looks different from the front, at this moment the mind is unusually clear, a look up to see the ground in the hall, in the air, the most prominent thing in the hall is the wall of several murals in the shape of the nine palaces. One of them stood out in the eye, a leper was crushed against the wall by the dinggai, and the flesh and blood were blurred, splashing the white-background painting wall as if it had spilled ink, and the wall was covered with pitch-black and dark green blood and flesh. Combined with the weight of the canopy, the wall was also smashed into a gap, and several cracks extended around it.

There are many murals on the eight brick walls, but there is only one wall that is full of all kinds of strange witchcraft rituals in the Dian Kingdom, which is the one that is broken by the tripod cover, as soon as this wall is broken, the short corridor in the hall is immediately sealed, and a large amount of mercury pours out from the dragon's mouth. This qiē shows that there are important things hidden in the wall, once it is violated by external forces, it will trigger the machine in the temple, and those who can't hide will be swallowed up by mercury, and the whole body will turn black and die, if the intruder can escape from the top of the temple with dexterity, in that moment, the mercury can also fill the apse, and it will be difficult for outsiders to find that there is something hidden in the wall.

The reason why I didn't do that kind of desperate organ may be because I would take this thing out in the future, but why didn't I bring it into the underground Xuangong when I was buried, but hid it on the top of the Ming Tower? Now it was imperative to get the contents out of the wall before the mercury had gone through the cracks in the wall.

I didn't think much of it, but at that moment, with Captain Kim's intuition, I thought there was something hidden in the wall. The so-called "intuition" is nothing more than the information received by a number of memory fragments and five senses in the brain, which are synthesized together, skipping the logical level, and directly reflected into the thinking.

At this time, I didn't care about hanging in the air, and immediately shouted, "It's in this wall!" I suddenly yelled, startling the fat man and Shirley Young, who were pulling the rope on the wooden beam, and they were both puzzled, and both asked, "What's in the wall?" ”

I found that the mercury in this temple was getting thicker, and I could no longer linger, and I had no time to elaborate, so I told them not to drag me on the ground yet. I was going to descend to the cracked wall of the frescoed fresco to see if there was still a chance to get the contents out, and let the fat man burn the haunted witch suit with a lighter, and especially to make it clear to him, no matter how strange the garment was, just light the fire. At the same time, let Shirley Yang hurry up and climb to the top first and blow up the temple tiles.

Although Shirley Yang and the fat man didn't know what I wanted to do, we had formed a tacit understanding after being together for a long time, and we both understood that I must have my own reason, and it was not too late to talk about it when we went out, so the two of them went their separate ways from the big wooden beam.

The fat man relied on the darkness in the hall to see how tall he was, but he was able to move. I saw that he had the courage to rub his hand from the wooden beam to the witch's robe hanging in the corner of the temple, and took out the lighter with trembling and leisurely, and even the ghosts and gods were afraid of him for three points, so I stopped looking at him, pulled the pulley on my waist, stepped on a stone tablet nearby, and swung my body towards the wall of the mural.

Swinging to the lowest place, the mountaineering helmet had even rubbed the mercury on the ground, and as soon as his hands reached the mural wall, he quickly climbed up half a meter first. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the development of mercury sulfide heating technology was derived from the unremitting efforts of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu to seek eternal life through alchemy.

I saw that the mural wall was cracked by the dinglid, and half of the jade letter was exposed. The letter was wrapped with several turns of gold rope, and the rising mercury was about to flood the cracks in the wall, and in a hurry I had no time to take a closer look, so I first turned my upside-down body upside down, endured the choking smell of mercury, and immediately started to chisel the wall with a mountaineering pickaxe.

The mural wall is made of grass and earth bricks, which is not solid. The jade letter hidden in the wall is not small, and it takes a large piece of grass and earth bricks to be chiseled off before it can be removed. Just as I was busy digging the wall, I heard a bang above my head, and many bricks and tiles fell, and a blinding sunlight shot into the gloomy palace.

I looked up at the top of the temple, and it turned out that Shirley Yang had opened a skylight for the top of the temple. The glass roof of this heavenly palace is not thick, and no explosives are used, and a big hole is directly broken with a sapper shovel and a mountaineering pickaxe. The sunlight slanted into the temple, shining right on the suit of witch clothes in the corner, and the fat man happened to be on fire. The red witch robe, which looked like it was stained with blood, burned and fell, turning into a cloud of ashes, and in an instant it was covered with mercury.

Seeing that both of them had succeeded, I immediately exerted all my strength to chisel off the last two obstructive adobe bricks, and reached out to take out the jade letter hidden in the wall. Several beast heads in the hall were still spewing mercury, just below the height of the hole in the mural wall, if it was half a minute slow, there would never be a chance to get this jade letter.

As soon as I got on the main beam, I immediately joined the fat man, hurriedly climbed the rafters, and climbed out of this dangerous heavenly palace through the skylight.

Due to the special terrain, the depths of the Worm Valley are exposed to sunlight for a very short period of time, and when the sun is off, it will be covered by mountains, and the valley will gradually fall into darkness. Standing on the slippery large glazed tiles, I saw that the dragon halo under the heavenly palace had changed from the colorful when the sun was full to a dim golden light, and the funnel-shaped waterhole in the depths was so black that it was impossible to see the water surface, and it seemed to be integrated with the black whirlpool at the bottom of the deep pool.

Thinking back to the scene in the Heavenly Palace just now, the most puzzling thing for me is still those bronze beasts and bronze people. As for the strange clothes hanging high in the hall, the icy woman shrriering, the large amount of mercury pouring out, and the jade letter hidden in the mural wall, I didn't care, my mind was full of the bronze statues with unusual action costumes, there must be something unusual I haven't thought of yet, but the more I think about it, the more I can't grasp the clue.

At this time, Shirley Yang gently pushed me, and I came back to my senses from my hard thinking, settled down, took out the jade letter that I had taken out of the painting wall and showed it to the fat man and Shirley Yang, and briefly explained the situation at that time.

The jade letter is wrapped with several turns of gold rope, the jade color is simple, a little red stains, and it is an antiquity thousands of years ago at a glance. However, this jade letter is flat and rectangular, and it doesn't look like it is supposed to store phoenix gall. Hidden in the apse of the Heavenly Palace in such a secret, the things in it must be extraordinary, I wanted to open it right now to watch, but the jade letter was very tightly closed, and if I didn't have special tools, if I wanted to open it, I would only destroy the ancient jade outside.

Shirley Yang said: "The ancient jade is small, the items inside are large, or wait for us to go back, it's not too late to take a closer look, now the time is pressing, and we don't compete to see how long it is." ”

I nodded yes, and asked the fat man to wrap the jade letter and put it in his backpack first. I asked the fat man, "Did you think there was anything strange about you when you burned that red dress?" ”

After the fat man packed the jade letter, he put the big backpack beside him and complained to me: "You still have the face to ask, that dress is really evil, if the fat man is a little less courageous, you have to collect my body at this moment." Next time there is such a fatal errand, it is more appropriate for Commander Hu to go out in person, even the blind fortune teller said that you have a big fate. ”

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, our next step was to immediately go down to the bottom of the pond to find out the location of the tomb, so while I was busy with Shirley Yang to get some equipment, I asked the fat man: "Didn't the blind man also say that you were reincarnated in the Three Kingdoms, and you have the courage to be unstoppable, what can scare you?" Tell me more about what the half-cut female corpse in the clothes looks like? ”

The fat man was on the top of the highest heavenly palace, looked at the dark valley below, and found that the big tile under his feet was slippery and abnormal, and his heart was timid, and when he heard me ask, he replied casually: "What is weird, what the fuck is just a human skin stretched on the head, and a wig, a hood." I plugged my ears, so I couldn't hear the sound of the ghostly laughter, so I directly pulled the human skin hood according to what you said, and burned the hood and clothes with a fire. ”

I wondered, "Where did that ghostly shrill laugh come from?" Isn't there a ghost attached to that witch robe? ”

The fat man whispered to me with his back molars: "You haven't looked closer, the human skin hood is painted with red lips on a white background, and it is not much different from a dead man's face." Now that I think about it, I still feel my legs and stomach tremble, if there are any more ghosts, where is the life to tell you here at this time? I think the ghost laughter is eighty percent of the human skin hood has a few holes, blown by the small wind on the top of the temple, and the hall is full of big nanmu trees that can make a sinking dragon sound, so we probably have heard poorly, so you don't have to think crankily about suspicious ghosts. ”

I listened to what the fat man said and the reason, and for a moment I was noncommittal, and fell into silence, and thought to myself: "This fat guy has always been confused, and he can't talk twice, although I can't rest assured when I watch him burn the witch robe." The screaming laughter of that powerful ghost can make people's hair grow a layer of frost, and there are strange rumors in Xinjiang Devil City, but it is by no means so powerful. To assure **, the clothes and human skin hood are by no means so simple, now we are in a desperate place, everything needs to be cautious, or try him again, in order to feel at ease, don't be careless, cause resentment. ”

I was worried that the fat man had fallen into evil spirits, so I was ready to test it on him with something to ward off evil spirits, and at this time the sun was setting in the west, and it was only at this moment or three that I could do it after falling into the mountains to the west.

I turned the plan around in my head three times, then put down the equipment I was inspecting, stood up from the glass roof of the Heavenly Palace, pretended to stretch my waist, moved my muscles and bones, and walked around behind the fat man.

Unexpectedly, this seemed a bit contrived, and the fat man didn't realize that he was munching on chocolate to satisfy his hunger, but instead made Shirley Young see that something was wrong with me. She immediately asked me, "Old Hu, why are you crazy?" It's not too early or too late, why bother your lazy muscles? The glazed tiles are slippery, you be careful. ”

I glanced at Shirley Yang Lian and asked her not to speak yet, thinking, "You are usually a ghost, why are you so unenlightened today?" After a while, I'm afraid you're going to see me Hu someone like a god, and I'm so impressed by you. ”

Shirley Yang didn't understand why I was winking at her, but she saw the opportunity very quickly, immediately stopped talking, lowered her head and continued to replace the battery of the wolf-eye flashlight.

The fat man stuffed a mouthful of chocolate and beef jerky, turned his head to look at me, and asked with a whining, "Commander Hu, did you twist your waist when you fell off the wooden beam?" If you want me to say that we are all in our thirties, we can't compare to before, everything has to be leisurely, go back and let the blind man give you a massage. Hey, don't say that the blind man's craft is really good, I screwed my flesh last time......"

I hurriedly said to the fat man, "Is thirty years old a long time?" Don't forget that revolutionaries are always young. Besides, I didn't flash my waist at all, but on the top of the Heavenly Palace, condescendingly, enjoying the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and my heart was full of passion, so I deliberately stood up and wanted to chant a poem as a souvenir. ”

The fat man laughed and spit out all the food in his mouth: "Commander Hu, don't make a bad deal with us, just do you know those two words and still chant poetry?" Hurry up and rest, you, keep some spirits, and we'll have to go down to the Xuan Palace to find out the Ming Weapon in a while. ”

I saw that the fat man looked as usual, and my heart was a little calmer, but since I had stood up, I still acted according to the plan planned in advance, and there was no harm in taking an extra insurance.

So while opening his mouth, he stepped on the glazed tiles and walked around the back of the fat man: "Commander Wang, don't look at new problems with old eyes, many great poets in ancient times were also illiterate and idle, didn't they still leave a good sentence for the ages?" I admit that when I was a child, I didn't like to study as much as you, because at that time I was busy responding to the call and caring about national affairs every day, but my love for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland is not lost to you at all, I ......"

As I spoke, I walked around the back of the fat man, still talking, but I had already touched a large handful of glutinous rice from the carrying bag. These glutinous rice were purchased last year, and they were put away for a long time, and the beige color was a little stale, but the glutinous rice was used to dispel yin, and the glutinous rice that had expired could still be used.

I immediately threw a large handful of glutinous rice from behind the fat man like a goddess scattering flowers. The fat man was sitting and talking to me, and he didn't want a large amount of glutinous rice to suddenly splash from behind, so he was startled, and hurriedly turned his head and asked me, "Have you eaten too much?" Didn't you say poetry? How do you sprinkle rice again? I want to catch birds and find out what the air quality in the ancient cemetery palace is! ”

Shirley Yang also looked at me with strange eyes on the side, and I saw that the glutinous rice didn't smash anything bad from the fat man, so I had to explain: "I originally came up with a few high words, and they are all quatrains for the ages, but I suddenly remembered that the little fat had just touched the man's leather hood, so I drove away bad luck for him." However, according to the ancient rule, this thing cannot be said in advance, and it must work without you knowing. If you get rid of this old bad luck, you will definitely be promoted to make a fortune in the future, and make great achievements. You see, for the sake of your future, I have forgotten my several quatrains that can last for centuries, and now I can't remember them anymore, and I have no inspiration. ”

I made up some reasons to prevaricate the question between the fat man and Shirley Young for the time being, and I don't know if they would accept it. As I continued to justify myself, Shirley Young suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look at the clouds in the sky, how strange they are. ”

The fat man raised his head and looked at it, and he was also surprised: "Commander Hu, isn't it the dragon lord who has bright wings?" ”

I saw that in the sky where there was still bright light in the mountain, a long thick black cloud stretched out, like a black dragon in the air, and it seemed to be a black heavenly river hanging in the sky, gradually connecting with the dark sky on this side of the mountain, and immediately haloed the heavenly palace and the water dragon in the valley with a layer of shadow.

Usually in the wilderness where the air is fresh, or on the mountains where the air is thin, if there are few clouds in the sky, you can see the Milky Way at night. However, compared with the Milky Way in the starry sky, this "black river" hanging over our heads at the moment looks very ominous, gloomy and gloomy. The mausoleum area in the valley was originally quiet, but now it is even darker and quieter, as if we are already in the gloomy and dark underground palace of the underworld.

I said to Shirley Yang and the fat man: "This kind of celestial phenomenon has been recorded in ancient feng shui, and the black qi between the heavens and the Han runs through it, and this celestial omen is called the black pig crossing the heavenly river; In the Celestial Star Secret Technique, this is called the Rain Season; In the theory of Qingzhu earth's qi, it is said that the black pig crossing the river must be haunted by ancient corpses here, and the corpse qi is used to cover the stars and moons from yin to yang. ”

The fat man was puzzled and asked me, "Isn't that a good sign for that, is it rain or corpse gas?" By the way, what is the rain? But to get in the way of our wealth? ”

I said to the fat man, "The rain is the flood. Let's make a mistake, tonight we are going to start pouring the tomb of the king, and we encounter this rare celestial phenomenon that has not been encountered in a hundred years, I don't know if this is related to the king to change the pattern of the earth's leylines. Perhaps in recent years, this kind of vision has often appeared here, this rainstorm will not come out, sooner or later it will cause a big change, maybe it won't be long before this Worm Valley Heavenly Palace will be swallowed by a great mountain flood. Without further ado, let's get down to the pool now. ”

As he spoke, the sky had turned into the bottom of a black pot, and he couldn't see his fingers. The three of them hurriedly turned on the spotlight on the mountaineering helmet, which gave them a little light, distributed the equipment and equipment slightly, still put the weapons and explosives that were afraid of water in the backpack, lowered the rope hanging from the side of the temple, found the stone slab of the plank road, and circled down along the way. The road was extremely dark, so I had to walk step by step, encounter the broken road, and climb the vine down, and the three pillars of light seemed insignificant in this boundless darkness, and I could only barely see the underfoot, and even the outline of the terrain five or six meters away was difficult to identify.

We felt the darkness and finally reached the end of the boardwalk, but I guess that at this time, it was just five o'clock in the afternoon, and the round sky on the funnel had already dissolved into darkness along with the rest of the scene. This black pig crossed the river, and it came so quickly.

It suddenly occurred to me that today was July 19, and this was a big deal.
