Chapter Seventy-One: The Hole That Year
"Ma Weiguo found out the secret of your immortality, and then told this secret to his son Director Ma, and Director Ma came to blackmail you?" I reasoned a rough idea.
"It's far more complicated than that." Liang Wei smiled bitterly: "Director Ma...... I doubt he's ...... I'll talk to you about this in a moment. ”
The copper lock, who had been silent, said: "This ...... Friend...... Grandpa"
Liang choked back: "We are friends, just call him by his name." ”
"I'll call you Liang Chao with Lao Liu." Copper Lock said: "I just want to ask one point, immortality and immortality are two concepts. You Liang Guodong may have lived for a long time and has not grown old, but it is impossible not to die. Maybe the time and degree of aging you are much slower than normal, this process may take a hundred years for others, and you need hundreds or even thousands of years. But the problem is, one day you're still going to die. ”
Liang Weiwu nodded: "You are right. There's a reason why I call myself an immortal, and if I were a normal person, I'm afraid I'd have died more than a few times by now. ”
Hearing this, I looked at each other with the copper lock.
"The first time I found out I couldn't die was when I was shot on the riverbank." Liang said leisurely: "Liu Yang, remember this incident." ”
Back then, the old man, accompanied by Liang Guodong and several fellow villagers, visited the mysterious cave of Lingzi Mountain. After returning from the mountain, he put Liang Guodong under house arrest. A month later, Liang Guodong was escorted to the riverbank execution ground and shot. A total of thirty-two people were shot at the same time.
Liang said: "On the day of the shooting, everyone had a gun at close range behind their heads, and there would never be a situation where they would fly." I can still recall the feeling of that cold gun in the back of my head. He slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"I didn't have time to react at a gunshot, I didn't even feel the pain, I ......" he paused and said, "Even if it's dead." ”
Liang Jiwu described that it was a dim and dark world, and I don't know how long it was, it was like a sleep and a dream. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were still dark, but compared to the feeling just now, he had more sensory sensations at this time, and he could blink, breathe, and even move slightly. Only then did he realize that he was still alive.
Why is it so dark in front of you? He struggled for a long time to figure out one thing, he was buried, and he was under the mound of dirt.
He dug hard and dug all night, and came out of the mound like a groundhog. It was a barren mountain, the moon was cold and the wind was clear, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his whole body was dirty, and he looked like an evil ghost. But the good guy picked up a life.
He is very clever, and he has followed the old man in the army to live and die in the south and the north for several years, so he has been exposed to it, don't look at his young age, but he is very mature and sleek.
He tried his best to survive incognito. What surprised him the most was that why did he shoot himself but not die?
"Did that shot really hit?" I asked.
Liang Wuwu smiled bitterly: "I really hit it." Let me give you a description of what I was like at that time. The bullet came in from the back of my head, and instead of going in a straight line, it met resistance, rolled in my skull, and burst through the front of my face. Anyway, my head was a rotten watermelon at the time, unrecognizable. ”
At that time, his face like a demon could not integrate into the society and communicate with the crowd, so he became a wild man in the mountains. Self-sufficient, with a little self-help foundation learned from the army, picking herbs, and dispensing medicine for treatment. Liang said that he had been raising for a year before his face slowly healed. But the facial features are very different from the original, and they have become what they are now.
He touched his face and said that Liang Guodong was definitely a first-class beautiful man in the army. From the big city of Shanghai Beiping, the girls who were inspired to come to the team often circled around themselves, washing clothes and fetching water, and they were rich and handsome at that time. It's a pity that fate has made people, and now it has become such a virtue.
The copper lock was quite interested, and asked some old people about the past.
Liang Wu smiled: "Friend, even if you ask, I won't tell you." The deceased has passed away, the past has passed, it has been almost a hundred years, and Chen Sesame is boring. ”
"Then why are you immortal? Have you thought about the reason? I asked.
Liang Weiwu nodded very seriously: "Of course there are reasons. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've gone down to that cave." ”
What the?!
I stared at him with wide eyes and stumbled and asked, "Have you ever gone down that hole?" ”
Liang said: "Why do I have to persevere, spend decades exploring around that mysterious cave in the future? Just because I don't die, it came out of the hole. ”
"When did you get down that hole?" I asked.
"I've been down twice. The first time was when I accompanied the old man to see the cave, he was very interested and asked me if I dared to go down to explore? Liang Jiwu's face was a little moved.
To put it mildly, in that case, let alone let him go to the cave, even if he is told to die, he has to obey his orders obediently. At that time, in addition to the old man and the old man from the countryside, there were two guards who went up the mountain together. The old man asked them to go down to the hole, and the old men in the countryside were very frightened, and repeatedly said that this hole could not be lowered, and it would make the gods unhappy. The old man smiled faintly and said, if there were really gods and those immortal masters, the world would not be tossed like this.
Since they don't do anything and want to enjoy pure blessings, then we have to do the right thing for heaven on their behalf.
Liang Guodong and the two guards supported each other and helped each other and entered the cave together.
"What's in the hole?" I asked anxiously.
Liang Zhiwu's eyes were a little stunned: "I didn't see what I wanted to say, do you believe it?" ”
Because of the limited equipment at that time, I temporarily went down to the hole, and there was not even a rope. The three of them all had their thoughts, went down to take a general look, and came back after a few clicks, and they could be regarded as having an explanation.
According to Liang Weiwu's description, the cave had obviously undergone large-scale destruction, with stones collapsing and accumulating, and even if there was a hole, it could only accommodate one person. Moreover, the convex corners of the rock are very sharp, and you can cut a big hole if you are not careful. When they were about ten meters down, something went wrong.
Because the entrance to the cave was narrow and cramped, Liang Zhuwu and the two guards lined up in a vertical column. He's in the second. The guards at the bottom were the fastest, and after a while they were gone. As he was descending, he suddenly heard the excited voice of the guard below: "There is light, as if there is something." ”
Liang Guodong shouted: "Be careful." ”
Before the words fell, at this moment, a wave of heat suddenly erupted from below. Liang Guodong suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Underground gas is actually normal, such as biogas and natural gas. However, most of these gases are poisonous, and the temperature is extremely high, some can even reach thousands of degrees Celsius. Liang Guodong was born in the mountains and was familiar with these things, so he knew that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly urged the people above to climb out.
But the guard on his head was very stubborn, and he had to rescue the guard below before he could leave, and scolded Liang Guodong for being a coward.
Liang Guodong looked down, and he was so white that he couldn't see what it was. And the air is getting hotter and hotter, and the air is full of heat, just like going to a sauna. He was covered in hot sweat, and he couldn't hold on any longer, shouting at the guards on his head, and even threatening his life.
The guard saw that there was really no way, so he had to climb up.
Just when Liang Guodong was about to climb out, he suddenly was caught by something, and he looked down and was frightened. I saw that from the steam, in the depths of the narrow stone cave, a hand stretched out and grabbed his foot and neck tightly.
Liang Guodong was in a hurry, pulled out his saber, barely curled up in an extremely difficult environment, and cut his hand little by little.
"That's your comrade-in-arms?" Hearing this, I asked.
Liang Jiwu rubbed his face, hesitated for a moment, his eyes were very confused, and he said for a long time: "I don't know what to do." ”
The outstretched hand still doesn't have much of an impression in his memory. Because the situation was very urgent and quite strange. As he curled up and cut his hand, the white heat around him swirled and he couldn't see anything.
By feel, that hand should not be the guard's hand. Particularly thin, dry, skinny, so to speak, is completely a five-bone frame. And the bones of the hand were a little large, not quite like a human hand, and when he crawled to the ground and examined his ankle himself, he found that there was a deep scratch there. He measured it with the palm of his hand, and it was much bigger. But it is also possible that the guard who died had a pair of hands that surpassed ordinary people.
"Finished?" I asked.
"It's not over." Liang said quietly, when he cut off that hand, he actually touched something in that hand, and it was something that he still didn't say. It was round and large, probably like a ping-pong ball, thick and black, soft and soft when pinched by hand, like a pill.
"This thing is the secret of my immortality." Liang said.
When they climbed out of the hole, the whole person was about to collapse, and the old man asked them how they were doing, but Liang Wuwu didn't say anything about stretching out his strange hand. He is still a little clever, if that hand really belongs to the guard, and he cuts off someone's hand, then it is not as simple as seeing death and not saving him, it is completely murder.
He didn't even say anything about the black pill.
Then, of course, he was locked in confinement. During the confinement, he was interrogated several times by the organization. In terms of organization, there are extremely delicate and complete systematic means of interrogation. They changed several waves of people and repeatedly asked for details. Liang Guodong understands that once this lie is told, he can no longer regret it, and he must bear it to the end.
Later, when the team started, he saw the personnel transfer through the window of the confinement room, and he looked panicked. He is a veteran soldier for many years, and naturally smells the smell of the wind and rain, and he doesn't know what his fate will be next.
After thinking about it, he finally made a decision to eat the pills that came out of the cave. Even if it's poison, destroy the evidence.
The pill had been hidden in the crack in the wall of the confinement cell, and had been dodged several full-body examinations. This time he had a feeling that he would not have a chance to come back after leaving this house.
"After taking the pill, you will live forever?" I asked.
Liang Jiwu nodded: "At least for now, it seems to be the case." ”
Copper Lock said: "Suppose that hand is the first to go down to the guard, he has actually reached the core of the cave, and took the pill there to come back, who knows that you cut off his beard in the middle of the road." ”
"Hehe, I don't think he'll crawl out alive. If that hand really belonged to him, judging by the condition of the hand, his whole body should be burned by the steam below, and even if he climbed up, he would be a skinless monster. ”
I was thoughtful.
According to all kinds of clues to enter the cave, the cave can not only see the general trend of the world, but also have the human immortal medicine, as well as the ability to make people become half-human and half-ghost...... What secrets are hidden there?
"In fact, the weirdest thing, which still scares me to this day, is the second experience of going into the hole." Liang said.
The second hole took place in the mid-sixties of the last century. Liang Guodong knew that the hole was extremely dangerous, so he took advantage of that special era to play a trick and voluntarily joined "Honghonghong" and met Ma Weiguo. When Ma Weiguo heard that the hole was so weird, he immediately became curious.
As far as Liang Guodong observed, this person's curiosity was a bit unreasonable and abnormal. It seems that Ma Weiguo's net worth and life are all tied to that hole.
