Chapter 35: The Misty Valley

Their place itself is rainy and foggy, and the valley is said to have never stopped fogging all year round. The son of Nima's father said that a few years ago, a few people from outside the mountain came, carrying large bags and small bags, as well as various tools, saying that they came to investigate through Erlang Mountain, and after hearing about the valley, they passed. After the latter few people came back, they said that there was an abnormal magnetic field in the valley, plus it was foggy, so it was easy for people to get lost when they went in, and as for the cause of the magnetic field anomaly, they did not find out. The valley is also foggy, nothing else special, except for getting lost, nothing strange has happened, so there is no value in investigation, and the people behind it are gone...

The more this is the case, the more it shows that the valley is very unusual, and the remnants of the Ran tribe we are looking for are very likely to be there... Since those Ran people are reclusive, then, naturally, the radius of their hermitage is close to the outside, and the more ordinary and ordinary the better. Otherwise, if there are often some strange things happening in that place, it will become the focus of attention from the outside world, so that their 'dwelling' will not think about the comfort of 'hidden'...

We stayed at Daddy Nima's house for one night, and the next morning we all got up as soon as it was dawn. After resting for a night, I felt pain all over my body, and my ankles seemed to be broken, Uncle Yang, Old Man Yang, and Old Man Cui, every time I moved, I screamed. Daddy Nima lit the fire and cooked a pot of goat's milk tea for us to make breakfast. Not to mention, although the taste of this milk tea is a little weird, but after drinking it, it is very refreshing, the body is hot, and it is not so painful.

The mountain road from the village to the valley was several miles away, and Father Nima's son led the way, stepping on a stake, crossing the river next to the village, and following the winding mountain path, we headed for our destination. In the early morning, the deep mountains are very quiet, and the light rain falls on the face, and it is cool, and from time to time there are bird calls and the sound of bamboo jointing, which comes from the mist that fills the mountains in the distance.

After walking more than two miles, we came to a small hill, and the son of Daddy Nima, pointed to the distance ahead and said to us, "That's it...

Looking at the past, I saw two mountains running north-south, with a valley in between, and the foggy...

Coming down from the top of the hill to the valley, there was a road at first, and then the road was gone, and there were bushes and weeds everywhere. When I finally climbed to the mouth of the valley, I couldn't see the bottom of the valley when I looked down.

The Master took out two packs of cigarettes from his bag, gave them to Daddy Nanyima's son, and said some words of thanks to him, and he left, and after a while, he heard the sound of folk songs coming from afar...

The master took out the compass and measured it, and sure enough, the magnetic field was abnormal, and the magnetic needle swayed slightly... We smoked two cigarettes and rested for a while at the mouth of the valley, and then walked cautiously along the slope of the valley to the bottom. It took nearly half an hour for us to finally go down to the bottom.

The fog in this valley was much thicker than outside the valley, and the two of them were more than three meters apart, so they could barely see each other's figures. The mist inhales into the nose and is cold...

"Master, how can there be such a big fog in this valley?" I say.

Master stared around and said, "Let's walk together, don't get separated..."

Although, the son of Father Nanyima, said that he had never heard of anyone entering this valley, we still did not dare to be careless, and several people were close to each other, looking from side to side, while marching in this valley. The master held the compass and walked in the front.

After walking for a long time, I found no signs of inhabitation, and the bottom of the valley was very uneven, with stones, shrubs, and a lot of them. We walked very slowly, for almost an hour, and suddenly I had a strange feeling in my heart, that this valley was much bigger than when we first stood on the top of the hill and looked at it, and that we could see nothing on either side and in front of us...

I was a little suspicious, looking at Xiang Feng on the side, I saw that his whole person seemed very tight, his neck twisted and looked around, looking at the situation, Xiang Feng also felt that something was wrong. Uncle Yang's performance of the three of them was no different from before.

"Stop for a moment." Master said suddenly.

Everyone stopped.

"Master Zhang, what's wrong?" Old Man Yang asked.

"Let's see." Master said.

We all leaned over and saw the compass in Master's hand, and the needle was shaking violently.

"How so?" Uncle Yang said.

"There should be something unusual in this area..."

After the master finished speaking, he closed his eyes, his ears were slight, moving, as if he was listening and sensing something, and we didn't even dare to breathe. After a long while, Master opened his eyes and said, "Everyone grabbed one by one the clothes and followed me..."

The six of them stood in a row, followed the master in a different direction, and moved forward little by little. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I feel that the atmosphere in this valley has suddenly become extraordinarily quiet, and the rustling sound of the soles of everyone's shoes rubbing the ground seems to come from far away. After walking like this for more than ten minutes, Master stopped.

"Xiao Zhang, what's wrong?" Uncle Yang asked.

"I'll leave later." Master said, "Listen to me. ”

"Good..."

"Loosen each other's clothes, close your eyes, turn around three times, and then open your eyes and see what happens."

I loosened Uncle Yang's clothes, and Mr. Yang, who was following behind, loosened my clothes. I lowered my arms, closed my eyes, counted in my heart, and turned around three times. When I opened my eyes after turning, I saw Uncle Yang standing face to face with me, and the two of them shouted at the same time.

"Uncle Yang, how many times have you turned?" I asked.

"Three laps..."

I turned my head to look at the old man Yang behind me, and saw him standing facing my left, and the old man Cui behind Uncle Yang was facing my right, and the wind was facing behind me...

"There's something unusual around here that affects people's senses and mental judgment." Master said, "If you keep moving forward, it feels like you're moving forward, but in fact, you're going off the rails as you walk..."

"I see," I said, "this must be the ghost of those Ran Min, so that those who enter this valley cannot approach their hermitage..."

"And how can we get close?" Old man Yang said.

The Master thought for a while and said, "Because people have thoughts and senses, they will be misled and go astray, and if it is a thing that has no mind and no senses, and helps us find the way in front, then it will not go astray..."

"Master's consciousness is..."

"Please come and open the way for us..."

It has been introduced before, in ancient times, Qimen is used to march and fight, in Qimen, A is the head of state, the commander of the three Qi Liuyi at the same time, is protected by the Liuyi, hides, so that the enemy can not be found, so it is 'Dun Jia', A has a total of six, in ancient times often said 'pregnant Liujia', the so-called Liujia, respectively, Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, Jiayin (last year, 2014, is the year of Jiawu)... These six Jiajia are hiding under the Liuyi, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui... What Master has to do is to invite these Liujia out and let them show us the way...

The Master took out the six Dao Liuding Liujia talismans, wrote them on the back of each talisman and ordered each of us to put one on our chests and put one in our arms, and he put one in himself. Then, six people sat around the ground... I know that Master wants to use us as a medium to invite the 'A' on the Liuding Liujia Talisman...

Master took out a piece of yellow paper, wrote Liujia on the paper, folded the yellow paper into a paper figure, and placed it in the middle of the circle of the six of us. I told us to close our eyes, and Master was chanting the words, and as he said 'out', I felt an electric current go down my arm to my fingertips, and then jump out of my fingertips...

After getting up, Master stood behind the paper figures, and as before, we walked back in turn, with our eyes closed... I felt like I was taking a detour, and after about forty or fifty steps of twisting and turning, I stopped, and when I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see that the fog had actually disappeared, and not far in front of us, there was a huge thing! …

A stone-carved man, with a strange helmet and mask, riding a unicorn-like thing, holding a long spear-like object in his hand, the tip of which is aimed at us... The whole statue is three stories high...

"This is the man!" I exclaimed, "That image I saw on Mengding Mountain, this is it!" …”

When we came to the front, we saw that this was carved from some kind of stone, and the color was blue and black... The compass in Master's hand was in front of the statue, jumping non-stop... Looking up, the stone man seemed to be about to fall off his mount, giving people a sense of breathlessness and oppression...

"This should be the warrior of the ancient Ran Kingdom, and the reason why he stood here was to guard the portal..."

"Master is saying that there is a portal near this statue?" I asked.

"There should be..."

This statue seems to have the function of driving away fog, there is no fog in a radius of ten meters, and it is all fog outside, and nothing can be seen clearly... I can't believe that there is such a thing hidden in this valley, but it has never been known...

Sure enough, as Master said, when we went around to the back of the statue, we found a black hole in the ground with a diameter of about two meters! The hole is diagonally downwards and has steps inside. The master turned on the flashlight and walked down with a bow. After walking about a dozen steps, the hole changed from going down diagonally to going straight... It was dark, but not damp at all, and after about seven or eight minutes of straight walking, a staircase appeared that went up. This staircase, much longer than the previous one, walked for a while, and finally came to the hole at the top of the staircase... After crawling out of the hole, everyone looked around in amazement, I really don't know where they came...

On both sides are the slopes of the mountain that slope towards us, and at a height above our heads, about dozens of stories high, the two sides of the mountain wall touch together, and we feel like we are inside a huge pyramid...

"We're in the middle of the mountain." Master said.
