Chapter 18 Tunnels
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside. Not only are the villagers anxious, but we are also a little unable to sit still. Everyone gathered in front of the cave and was discussing what to do, so Yao Bing dragged Lao An out of the tunnel.
The two of them were like rolling in the mud, and they were dirty all over their bodies. Especially Lao An, the red and black robes that were a little rotten, his face was colorless, and his eyes were full of horror, and at a glance, he knew what terrible things he had encountered just now.
Yao Bing came out and said: "It's still Master An, he discovered the secret in the tunnel, it turns out that the Japanese have set up a formation inside, isn't it Master An?" ”
Lao An had been losing his mind, and after hearing Yao Bing shout at him a few times, he came back to his senses, and nodded in despair: "Oh, yes, the formation is arranged." ”
"Then can you lead us to break the formation?" Yao Bing asked.
"Oh...... Alright, alright, let's go. Lao An hurriedly said.
He behaved very strangely, what happened to him, how he was scared like a sick cat and mouse.
Director Guan came over and asked, "Lao An, what happened to you just now, you fell into evil?" It's all right, is it? ”
Lao An's behavior was indeed very abnormal, just like when a thief was caught, he said hesitantly: "It's okay, you lead everyone back first." I took them through the tunnel. ”
Director Guan instructed the villagers to go into the cave and carry the offering table out, greeted us, and withdrew.
Yao Bing waved his hand: "Get in the car and go!" ”
We all got into the car, and the fire was blazing, and the engine was booming, and one after the other, we started driving into the tunnel.
As soon as you enter the tunnel, it is indeed dark here, as if all the black in the world is concentrated here, and you can't see anything at all, and what falls on the retina is only pure black. The headlights of the car were all turned on, and two beams of bright lights shot out, except for the rear of the car in front of them, the rest of the area was dark.
Yao Bing was in the car that opened the road at the front, and on the walkie-talkie, he instructed that when driving here, you should keep an eye on one by one, it doesn't matter if you drive slowly, and you must report it immediately if you find an abnormality.
I was in the last car, sitting in the back row with Wang Xiaoyu. Lao Jia drove, and Yang Lin was in the co-pilot's seat.
As soon as I entered this tunnel, Wang Xiaoyu approached me because of fear. My heart was pounding, and I had the audacity to touch the girl's hand, relying on the darkness around me. When I touched my hand, I was really afraid that she would turn her face, but then Wang Xiaoyu flipped her palm and held my hand tightly. The girl's hand is soft and boneless, delicate and abnormal, I don't know how many years I don't know the femininity, I suddenly held the girl's hand, and my heart was beating. I forgot all the darkness and tunnels, and I was thinking about experiencing the soft feel in the palm of my hand.
I was fluttering when I suddenly braked and the car stopped. Yang Lin was furious: "Lao Jia, what are you doing?" ”
I looked up and saw through the glass in front of me that the rear of the car in front of me was fading away, and it turned out that it was just our car that had stopped.
Lao Jia sat in the driver's seat, seemed to be in deep thought, and it took a long time to start the car and slowly catch up with the convoy.
Wang Xiaoyu broke away from my hand and leaned over: "Brother Jia, what happened just now?" ”
Lao Jia wiped his face while driving: "It's weird, just now I saw a person riding a bicycle past our car." ”
Yang Lin snorted: "Are you dazzled?" ”
"Yes, yes, dazzled." Lao Jia rubbed his eyes.
At this time, the car in front suddenly stopped, and we stopped. I saw that as soon as the front door opened, the people inside jumped out of the car. Yang Lin looked back at me: "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." ”
I saw a number of jeeps lined up, and almost all of them came to the side of the car, flashlights, and looked up. I also used my flashlight to shine through, and the light and shadow on the cave wall intersected, and a large illuminated area. I saw that Yao Bing was like an actor on the stage, and he had climbed to a very high place in the light spot. He was as small as a monkey, with a climbing rope hanging from his body, and he climbed a step to chisel into the cave wall and install a buckle. He moved very neatly, and soon climbed to the top of the cave.
Lao An shouted below: "This is the location of the formation hub!" You go up and see, is there anything there? ”
Yao Bing climbed the cliff like an ape, face up, his hands and feet clasped on the protruding stones, and crawled slowly along the top of the cave.
Watching his movements, I suddenly had a sense of déjà vu. It's a strange feeling, and I think I've seen and heard this scene somewhere.
I craned my neck and watched, time seemed to stand still, and I didn't know how long it had been before I saw Yao Bing stop in one place. Barely looking over, there seemed to be a crack in the stone, and I don't know what he was messing with.
After a while, he stepped back and jumped down from the top of the cave. I knew that Lu Dao was fine, but I still couldn't help but gasp. The mountaineering rope "hissed", and Yao Bing slid down from a height of more than ten meters and soon came to the ground.
He untied the rope and walked over. I opened my mountaineering gloves to show us, and I saw a shiny bead in the palm of his hand. Seeing this bead, Yang Lin's face turned white: "This is an abacus bead in the underworld, hurry up and throw it away." ”
Yao Bing was quite surprised: "Mr. Yang, do you know this thing?" ”
Yang Lin's teeth trembled, and he was a little incoherent: "What is He Ping crazy about?" Just because he has such a thing in him. Some masters say that this is something from the underworld, and it is ominous to stay. ”
Yao Bing nodded: "No wonder the Japanese want to use this thing as the eye of the formation, there are really some evil sects." ”
He squeezed his hand, held the bead and threw it quickly, only to see an object draw a parabola in the air and fall into the darkness, never to be seen again.
I was also cheap-mouthed, so I leaned over and said, "Boss Yao, don't you ask Master An's opinion on how to deal with this bead?" ”
Lao An hurriedly said next to him: "All, listen to the boss." I, I can't do it......" Before the words fell, Yao Bing glared at him fiercely, and Lao An stopped talking.
"If you throw it away, it's fine." Yao Bing opened the car door: "Everyone get in the car and continue walking, there are still many formations in the tunnel, we strive to get out of the hole before noon." ”
We stopped as we walked, and took out a total of six beads, which should not be far from the hole, according to the distance.
Although Yao Bing threw these beads, I always felt a little unsure in my heart, and I felt that I had not handled them properly, and I didn't know if I could leave hidden dangers.
According to Lao An, the formation here is all broken.
Why do you want to set up these formations in the tunnel? One of the most recognizable theories in our team is that the Japanese were defeated in World War II and quickly evacuated the area. In order to make this place an eternal secret, obstacles are set up in the path that must be passed. The formation in the tunnel was born.
I secretly said in my heart that even without these formations, this dark tunnel would be enough for future generations to drink a pot.
Hearing that all the formations had been broken, everyone's spirits relaxed. As soon as I changed places, I didn't sleep very well, I slept in a tent in the mountains for the first time last night, and Lao Jia Lao Zhang gritted his teeth and farted, so I didn't sleep much at night. Now that the tunnel is dark, and there is the fragrant Wang Xiaoyu next to me, my eyelids are heavy for a while.
I leaned back in the back seat, found a comfortable position, half sat and half lay down, and fell asleep.
I was sleeping soundly in a daze, when suddenly I braked suddenly, and I almost flew from the back to the front. Yang Lin probably also woke up from his squint, rubbed his eyes and said, "Lao Jia, are you going to die?" ”
The old man fought with his teeth, gurgled, looked terrified, his face was a little pale, and he pointed to the front of the car window, unable to say a word.
I leaned over the back seat to see out the window, the lights were flickering, illuminating the rear of the car in front of me, which was motionless.
"Why don't you leave ahead?" Wang Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Lao Jia swallowed his saliva hard and said: "Everyone, look carefully, it's not our team's car, it's ...... It's a military vehicle. ”
Let's take a closer look, isn't it? This military vehicle is army green as a whole, the style is very old, and the visual cargo capacity is very large, and it is the kind of large truck that pulls military supplies for long distances. I don't know what kind of goods are piled up in the back, and it is tightly covered with military canvas.
Yang Lin's voice was bitter: "Lao Jia, Lao Jia, let you die, how did this car come out?" ”
Lao Jia only muttered what was going on for a long time, he drove on, and somehow began to get sleepy. He knew that he was driving, so he tried his best to suppress his sleepiness, but the scene in front of him became more and more blurred, and at the moment when he was about to fall asleep, an agitated spirit woke up, and suddenly found that the rear of the jeep in front of him had actually turned into a military vehicle.
I coughed, "It's not going to be ...... What's that...... Car, right? ”
In this treacherous atmosphere, I wouldn't talk about ghosts. Everyone else understood what I meant, and their faces were not good-looking.
Wang Xiaoyu said: "Brother Jia, can we bypass this car?" ”
Lao Jia opened the car door, leaned out, shone a wolf's eye flashlight, and then retracted and said, "This tunnel is a two-lane road. The military vehicles in front of them are right in the middle of the road, and although there is space on both sides, it is very narrow......"
"You just said if you could go over, right?" Yang Lin was impatient.
"I'll try." Lao Jia closed the car door, started the car, and was about to turn the steering wheel. We heard a bell in the distance ahead.
The ringing is very crisp, how far it can be heard in the dark. Lao Jia didn't dare to move, and simply put out the fire.
After a short time, a person faintly appeared in the darkness, and this person was riding a bicycle.
Lao Jia's lips were colorless.
The bike was getting closer and closer, and we all watched with bated breath and didn't dare to move.
The bicycle came and sped right past us. In the past moment, I saw who was riding the bike.
This is a Japanese man wearing a Japanese World War II military uniform, and he is different from the ugly Japanese devil in the TV series. He looked very ordinary, but his face was pale, revealing a very strange temperament. He pedaled his bicycle desperately, looking back from time to time, his expression almost distorted, terrified.
This scene was also between the lightning and flint, and the figure of the Japanese quickly disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
The four of us in the car couldn't help but look at each other. The Japanese and the military vehicle in front of them were most likely visions of decades ago, and for some unknown reason they remained in the tunnel.
It's just that it happened strangely, the Japanese guy was riding from the other side of the tunnel. What did he see back then, and how could he be so frightened?
