Chapter 143: Adventure on a Moonlit Night in the Mountains
Ordinary people can't fight against this curse ability, so the tutor is very worried about their safety and advises them to withdraw, but since the professor and the two students insist on continuing the investigation, the tutor can only provide them with as much advice as possible so that they can better deal with the dangers that may arise.
And these are too important for teaching the three of them.
The day after receiving the telegram, the three of them set off again and went to the ancestral tomb in Hangzhou. Because in the teacher's message, they were taught a wonderful method, through this method, they could find out the whereabouts of the Taoist priest, but these could only be achieved through the strange shadow that appeared on the tombstone of the ancestral tomb.
But this time I went into the mountain to go to the ancestral grave, which didn't seem to go well.
Although they had already been there once, they still didn't remember the road, especially in the mountains, and it was really difficult to find a small cemetery, so they had to ask for a guide.
They originally wanted to find the original one, but what they didn't expect was that the man said that he wouldn't go anywhere, saying that the cemetery was too weird, and that after he came back, he had been having nightmares, often waking up from his dreams in the middle of the night, and would break out in a cold sweat, and his spirit was always in a trance during the day, and he was always tired and weak. Not only that, but what made him even more upset was that he was just in his twenties, but since he came back from going to the cemetery, he found that when he had sex with his daughter-in-law, he suddenly couldn't do it, which was a big deal, so he hurriedly spent a lot of money to see a doctor. These are too much for him to block, and his daughter-in-law also complained to him vigorously, saying that he shouldn't have taken this job at all, he didn't make much money, but he got into trouble.
The professor listened to the guide's experience, looked at the sad look on the guide's face, and felt a little guilty, and wanted to comfort the guide a few words, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of what to say. So he gave the guide some money as compensation, and since this kind of thing happened, it was not good to find another guide. So, the professor, the three of them, discussed it, and finally decided that they would go to the cemetery by themselves, and no longer use any guides, although the road still can't be remembered, but after all, they have been there once, and they can try to find it.
According to the estimation of the time spent in the mountains to find the cemetery last time, since I tried to find it, it is very likely that I will not be able to come back at night, but will spend the night on the mountain. So the three of them took their tents and some equipment for spending the night in the field, and then set off at dawn.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't seem to be very good, it was a cloudy day. The three of them discussed it to see if they wanted to go into the mountain to go to the cemetery, because to see the strange projection, it had to be sunny. After a period of discussion, the three of them decided to continue into the mountain, they felt that the shadow would not appear until the evening, and by then, maybe the sky would be clear, and more importantly, it was a temptation to find it, so even if they couldn't see the shadow, they had to determine the location of the graveyard first, and come back on a sunny day another day, which would be convenient, and this time it would be a way out.
After reaching an agreement, the three of them continued their journey as originally planned.
They vaguely remembered the way into the mountain, but the more they went inside, the more they couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, but fortunately they had a compass, and the general direction was not wrong. But often after walking for a while, it doesn't feel right, so I turn back and go to the other, just like repeated temptations to go into the mountain.
It was too time-consuming, and for almost a whole day, they felt that the mountain road was becoming stranger and stranger, and it was not the way to the graveyard at all.
The day passed quickly, and it grew dark, but the cemetery, as if hiding from them, never appeared.
The three teachers and students were really a little exhausted, and this time they were much more tired than last time, because they had taken a lot of unjust roads, so while it was still dark, they quickly chose a suitable place, set up the tent, and then got into the tent and lay down limply. When people are extremely tired, they tend to be sleepy, so soon after the three of them lie down, they fall asleep deeply.
Unexpectedly, the day was cloudy, and the sky cleared up at night, and it was cloudless, and a bright moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight shone through the not too dense trees, covering their mosquito-proof tents. In the summer night, although there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, they use the most advanced mosquito-proof tent specially made by Germany at that time, and the three of them are also coated with mosquito-proof water, this mosquito-proof water is specially designed for the army, the effect is very good, as long as it is gently applied to the skin, even if the mosquito-proof tent is not used, the mosquitoes will not bite, so the three of them sleep very soundly.
I don't know how long I slept, but the professor woke up with urine. So it was convenient to get out of the tent, and after relaxing, the professor looked at the bright moon in the mountains and felt that it was very beautiful. Because he is a sinologist, he is very familiar with ancient Chinese poetry, and the scenery in front of him reminds him of an ancient poem: "The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream."
In Chinese culture, the moonlit night often has infinite beauty and sadness, and there are countless poems and verses about the moonlit night. But in Western literature, the moonlit night and the moon are not so beautiful, the legendary Lang people, it is on the moonlit night that haunts, and there is a word in English is lunatic, which refers to "crazy, mentally abnormal", and the word comes from lunar (meaning "moon's, related to the moon"), it can be seen that in Western culture, the state of mental abnormality and madness is often associated with the moon.
Just as the professor was thinking wildly, he suddenly noticed two blue and fluttering fires on the hillside not far away. The professor was immediately frightened, and felt the hairs on his body stand on end, but he immediately realized that it was a "ghost fire". However, in this wilderness, the faint fluttering blue light does make people feel a little creepy.
Since there is a ghost fire, it means that it is likely to be a graveyard. Thinking of this, the professor hurriedly woke up the two students and asked them to also hurry up and take a look at the two faint blue fires on the hillside not far away.
When these two students, after being woken up from their sleep, looked in the direction pointed by the professor with sleepy eyes, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, what is that?" ”
However, after all, they were students of a prestigious American school, and they quickly reacted and knew what it was a scary blue fire.
However, they had only read about this phenomenon in books before, but they had never seen it in reality. For a while, the freshness and excitement made them sleepy and immediately refreshed.
The professor told them that since there was a ghost fire there, it meant that it might be a cemetery, so they should go and take a look, maybe the ancestral grave they were looking for.
The two students felt that what the professor said was reasonable, so the three of them did not move the tent, but the shotgun and dagger they carried with them, and climbed up the hillside. Mountains have a characteristic, that is, the actual distance of the so-called "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse" is often much farther than it seems.
So, although it took them half an hour to climb up the hillside, which seemed to be not far away, when they climbed up the hillside and looked down, they were extremely surprised to find that, yes, there was the graveyard they had been looking for so hard. Last time, however, I came directly from the road in front, but this time I climbed up the hill from behind. Thankfully, it was the two ghost fires, otherwise they would have missed it, because they had no plans to go in this direction. It's really "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them".
The three of them did not hesitate any longer, but immediately descended from the hillside and walked to the cemetery. Although they had only been here once, this cemetery was so familiar to them, and they had recalled this cemetery countless times in their minds, and thought about the topography and structure of this cemetery. and the strange qiē they experienced here, which made them unforgettable and unforgettable.
The three of them did not speak, and stood quietly in the cemetery, looking around them again. This time, they noticed two new graves. And that ghost fire must have come out of these two new tombs.
Now the ghost fire has disappeared, the moonlight is still bright and bright, and the sound of insects in the mountains comes and goes, making it more and more quiet on a moonlit night in the mountains.
The professor looked at the white marble stele, and one of the purposes of their trip was to wait for the mysterious projection, under the sunlight, to reappear on the white marble tombstone. They can do what the mentor says in the message. And at this moment, on the white marble stele, there is a mottled shadow of the tree under the moonlight, gently swaying under the breeze, but because this is a cemetery, and there are two new graves next to it, so the three of them are still a little hairy. Xin is three people, who can strengthen each other.
Suddenly, the professor felt that the shape of the shadow in the middle of the moonlight on the stone tablet was very familiar, very similar to the shape of a tent.
When the professor asked the two students next to him if they felt the same way, they also nodded vigorously. After the strange experience last time, for them, all the shadows cast on the stone tablet are extremely mysterious and terrifying. Because the shadow cast on it often has a bad omen.
Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound, as if something was rolling down the hill in the distance, and they carefully discerned the direction, thinking that it must have come from the tent. One of the students hurriedly ran up the hill and raised his binoculars to look at the tent below, and the rumbling had stopped.
Before the professor could ask the student what he saw, the student suddenly exclaimed, "On the other side of the hill, a boulder has rolled down, and it seems to be smashing against the tent." ”
The professor was also taken aback, but what surprised him even more was that there was a shadow in the shape of a stone on the stone tablet that was the same shape as the tent. And the shadow in the shape of the tent seemed to be deflated by a stone.
