Chapter 162: Rumors
It is rumored that since the appearance of human beings, there has been an underworld. [Ranwen 123, easy to read a new experience]
The Yang World is naturally a place where living people live, and the underworld is a place where countless Yin Spirits live. It is said that a long, long time ago, during the flood era, a great war broke out between the Difu and the Yang World, which is rumored to be called the First Yin and Yang War.
No one knows the beginning and course of the war, not even the outcome of the war. I only know that since then, the Difu and Yangshi have signed a yin-yang agreement.
In the 5,000-year history of China, every time there is a change of dynasty, there will be a turbulent war years. In this era of war, demons are rampant, and war and death are everywhere. When a new dynasty comes into being, there will be visitors from the underworld who will carry the yin-yang agreement through the retrograde passage and present the agreement to the emperor of the current dynasty to show that the agreement will continue to be valid.
If you want to say that this thing has been going on for a long time, fewer people will know about it. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the land of China was invaded by foreign races for the first time, and 300,000 Han soldiers and civilians committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea with Lu Xiufu and the little emperor, which was regarded as the complete end of the Han dynasty.
Since then, the yin-yang agreement has not been seen again. It is rumored that the person who signed the yin-yang agreement with the prefecture was of the Han nationality, and the prefecture only recognized the Han nationality. Therefore, after the Battle of Yashan, there were no more bloody Han people, so the Yin-Yang agreement gradually became a legend.
In fact, many people know this story, but not many people take it seriously. Even apart from some of the older generation, few people know about the so-called yin-yang agreement.
Of course, no one knows what the Yin-Yang Agreement is about.
Zhang Wuren and I talked here for a long time, and Colonel Di Ming also began to lead people to continue down. At this time, I looked up and saw that there was no light in sight.
It's about three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's been six hours since we entered the retrograde channel. And our depth is about 900 meters. It is only 1,100 meters away from the source of the sound.
Everyone checked their weapons and equipment to deal with the ghost of the underworld, and then went down again. This time we went down a lot faster, and when we reached about a kilometer, we saw a circle of spiral steps.
This spiral staircase is strange, about two meters wide, spiraling down the cave wall. Combined with the vertical downward retrograde channel, it feels like a giant screw cap. A good secretary must share it, so go and share Ranwen 123
The spiral staircase seems to be formed naturally, and there is no trace of artificial carving. But the sudden appearance of a staircase for people to walk on in this place is really surprising.
When I saw it, I thought that there could never be a naturally formed spiral staircase, and that this thing was the product of the restless underworld spirits.
But after thinking about it, the ghosts are ethereal and disembodied, so what do you want this passage for?
Colonel Di Ming probably didn't expect that there would be a spiral staircase in this place, but he was also a master of the arts, so he loosened the safety buckle and landed directly on it. He checked the ground before saying, "Safe!" Come down!
I've been hanging on a rope for a few hours, and suddenly stepping on the ground really makes people feel comfortable. It seems that human nature is to be down-to-earth in order to feel stable.
Temur unfastened the safety buckle and said, "It's strange, how can there be a downward staircase here?"
No one answered him, mainly because there was no way to answer it. Why is there a ladder down, the devil knows.
Suddenly, someone said, Colonel Di Ming, come and have a look!
Colonel Di Ming shone a flashlight, and at a glance he saw several bloody characters on the wall.
"Danger! Run! ”
The words were written in such a hurry that even the last word "escape" was not finished. Temur took a closer look and said, "The words written in human blood should be the words left by the group of experts." Di Ming, look around.
Because they were worried about the load-bearing capacity of the spiral staircase, everyone did not dare to approach, so they could only shine with flashlights from a distance. In addition to the big letters, I stood in the distance, and there were some spare ropes, searchlights, and some backpacks that were thrown around the ground.
One of them opened his backpack and took a look, and found that it was full of geological exploration equipment, as well as a mess of stones. It is supposed to be a sample taken along the way by the Geologist Gate.
Colonel Di Ming said, who can test if there are any dead people here?
An unknown middle-aged monk threw a handful of powder, and the powder fluttered, forming a golden glow in the light. In the golden mang, there are five clear figures shuttling in the golden mang.
The middle-aged monk said that five people died. The soul is stuck here.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a prayer flag flew over, fluttering around the five golden figures, and when he retracted again, there were already five more humanoid marks on the prayer flag.
Someone asked, how many geologists are in that group?
Zhang Wuren whispered to the man, saying that there were three geologists and cave experts, and five students. Eight people. There were also ten soldiers of the 33rd Light Infantry Regiment who accompanied him. Eighteen people in total.
Only five died here, indicating that there are still eighteen people alive. Since we are still alive, we cannot give up. What's more, now that there is a spiral staircase, everyone does not have to hang on the rope uncomfortably, and it is also very convenient to move around.
Colonel Di Ming said, Zhang Wuren, He Zhonghua, Su Zi'an, and two friends from the Zhong family walked ahead with me, Master Jueming took the Hubei Yin Walker, Master Liang from Hong Kong, Lao Yaguan from Shanxi, and Shaman friends from Inner Mongolia were in the middle. Mr. Temur, you took the disciples of the Tie family to stay at the end.
Lao Zhang and I don't have a bad impression of Su Zi'an, but we are very resistant to the two people of the Royal Corpse Zhong family. These two guys stink too much, not to mention, and their tempers are not very good. And when I was in the Snow Mountain Temple before, these two guys still had Liangzi with us.
I don't know why Colonel Di Ming arranged for the two of them to take the lead together.
The twenty or so people divided into three parts, and then went down the spiral staircase. At first, you can still see some messy bloody footprints, but then there are no more imprints.
After a while, Colonel Di Ming asked the two brothers of the Imperial Corpse Zhong family, can they feel it?
The two members of the Royal Corpse Zhong family shook their heads slightly, indicating that they couldn't feel it. At first, I didn't know what they were feeling, but then Zhang Wuren reminded me, and I knew why.
The middle-aged monk of the Shaolin Temple said that five people had died here before. But we couldn't see the bodies. That is, it is very likely that the body was also taken away. The Imperial Corpse Zhong family is the most sensitive to corpses among this group of people, and the two of them are in front, and they will react once they get close to the corpse.
It's no wonder that Colonel Di Ming would let the two people of the Royal Corpse Zhong family walk in the front, which is really the best use.
Although it feels good to be down-to-earth, the ladder spirals downward, and we are naturally not as fast as climbing along the rope. After walking for more than two hours, it only descended more than 500 meters.
During this period, the noise was constantly affecting the communication equipment, and the yin qi was getting heavier and heavier, and the cold breath seemed to be a little unbearable even for the combat uniform of the special case department.
By this time, some people were already a little agitated. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was determined and resolute, and a rare piece of earth shade grass and lightless stone was found on the road, which surprised everyone, it is estimated that some people would have retreated.
Rao is like this, and the shaman's young master Ma also muttered a few words.
The little Taoist priest who chased the wind distributed a batch of rune paper to everyone, all of which were Sanqing Heart Gathering Yang Talismans, with this thing, it can ensure that the yang energy in the body will not be lost, and ensure the safety of everyone to the greatest extent. Zhang Wuren also took out Sanyang wine from his bag, mixed it with water, and gave everyone a sip.
The line kept going down, and suddenly Colonel Di Ming, who was walking in the front, stopped, stretched out his hand, and motioned for us all to stop.
He is the one who takes the lead and the leader in name. As soon as he said stop, people naturally stopped. He said to the communicator, resting in place for half an hour.
Everyone checked the floor and made sure that there was no problem before sitting on the ground, and then took out cans and drinking water. Zhang Wuren and I also sat on the spiral staircase to eat, but we saw Colonel Di Ming standing in front of us like a ghost.
He made a silent gesture and motioned for us to come with him. Zhang Wuren and I looked at each other, but immediately followed.
At this time, I found that Temur didn't know when he also followed from behind the team, and Su Zi'an came with a painting clip.
He walked forward for more than ten meters, and only after he was far away from the group did Colonel Di Ming stop. Zhang Wuren asked, what's wrong? What's the matter?
Colonel Di Ming said, deep in the retrograde passage, there seems to be a big guy! It's huge! It's huge!
When he said this, his hands were trembling slightly, obviously caused by fear!
I was thinking, what could scare Colonel Di Ming into this way?
