Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 80 More than 20 years ago
When I arrived at Uncle Kong's house in Linxia, I first couldn't wait to take a shower and change my clothes. After resting for a while, I went to the restaurant on the first floor with my second uncle, and I had a serious meal for the first time in a few days, plus the chef skills of the Kong family are really good, I added three meals in a row, and the second uncle next to me grinned at me. I pretended not to see it, and said in my heart that it was not you who were starving these days.
After we were full of wine and food, we came to the living room, and Uncle Kong drove away all the guys, leaving only Kong Xue, Second Uncle and I, and he told us the ins and outs of this matter.
When Uncle Kong was young, he once stayed at an outpost in Qilian Mountain. The outpost in the mountains is inconvenient, life is more difficult than outside, and there are no recreational activities. In addition to these, everyone entertains themselves after training on weekdays. Or grow your own food, or go to the lake below the outpost to catch two fish and come back to improve your life. Everyone is free to be free, but they still strictly abide by the rules and disciplines. There is only one person who often does something indisciplined. And this person was also Uncle Kong's best friend at that time, and his name was Tang Zhendong!
When Uncle Kong talked about this, I was slightly stunned, I once heard Lantern Festival talk about it, his father and Uncle Kong were comrades-in-arms. Unexpectedly, the two of them knew each other when they were at the outpost as early as possible.
Uncle Kong told me that Tang Zhendong's family was very powerful at that time, and he didn't know why he came to join the army. Even if he joined the army, he could have assigned Tang Zhendong a more relaxed class, but he came to the Qilian Mountain outpost with difficult conditions. As for the reason, Uncle Kong only found out later.
In addition to having a similar temper, the two also have a common hobby, that is, they both love adventure and look for excitement. Especially Tang Zhendong, he drilled deep into the mountains when he had nothing to do, and even once caught a big snake and came back, and was going to make dinner for everyone, but he was severely criticized by the squad leader. But this person still goes his own way, and the squad leader can't do anything about him.
Tang Zhendong once told Uncle Kong that his family was in the antique business. He once saw an ancient book mentioning that Qilian Mountain is one of the largest dragon veins in China, where countless riches and secrets have been accumulated for thousands of years, and even ancient miracles have been hidden. Since then, Tang Zhendong has been out of control obsessed with Qilian Mountain, so he tried every means to find out, which is why he came to the Qilian Mountain outpost.
Uncle Kong was also young and vigorous at that time, and under the drive of Tang Zhendong, his inner desire for exploration could not be contained. Since then, the two have often used patrols or breaks to go deep into the mountains and no man's land, searching for secrets that no one knows. It was also from then on that Tang Zhendong explained a lot of knowledge about ancient tombs and archaeology to Uncle Kong, which made Uncle Kong admire Tang Zhendong from the bottom of his heart and was even more willing to do these things with him.
Until one day, Tang Zhendong, Kong Shu and two other comrades-in-arms were patrolling along the usual route together, and when they reached the top of a mountain, they suddenly found snow and fog churning on a distant hillside, and they immediately realized: Oh no! It was an avalanche!
Tang Zhendong took out the binoculars and looked in the direction of the avalanche, and saw the entire piece of snow sliding down the hillside, surging downward, even if it was far away, he still felt the overwhelming momentum. His hand shook in the direction of the avalanche, and suddenly he felt several figures flickering in front of his eyes, he quickly readjusted the telescope, searched carefully, and found that several people were under the avalanche position, desperately trying to escape.
Tang Zhendong shouted: "It's not good! Someone is in distress! The north slope of Shule South Mountain, save people! Fast! When the others heard this, they all became nervous. They arranged for one of the fighters to return to the post to report the news, and the others rushed over as fast as they could.
Despite all their efforts, by the time they arrived, it was already a few hours later. Uncle Kong and the others looked around, it was already a white expanse, and a few people just now had long since disappeared, and they knew that those people were probably already more than lucky. They began to look for survivors in the almost waist-deep snow, but there was no trace of it, and this thick layer of snow should have been brought down by the avalanche just now, it was very unsolid, and it was very likely that a second avalanche would occur if they were not careful.
After searching for a long time, to no avail, just as they were about to leave, suddenly, the warrior who was traveling with them pointed to a raised black in the distance and shouted: "Look at that! It seems to be a person! ”
They looked over and sure enough, it was a person, and they found that he was still alive. This person has a beard, but he shouldn't be very old, and he is in his early thirties. He was lying on his stomach on two pieces of luggage, and the gap between the luggage was also the key to his survival. The three of them pulled the man up and prepared to help him aside, but the two pieces of luggage did not have the support of the person, and the slope of the terrain at that time was relatively large, so the luggage rolled down the mountain. At the same time, they heard a series of strange sounds, and then the snow layer they were in broke again, and the thick snow rolled down with these people.
When Uncle Kong woke up again, he no longer knew where he was, but only found that his location should be inside a canyon. Uncle Kong found Tang Zhendong and the person he had just rescued not far away. Speaking of which, this life is really big, and he was safe and sound in two avalanches. Unfortunately, another soldier was killed after hitting his head on a rock.
The rescued person has been in a coma, Uncle Kong and Tang Zhendong can only drive him to grope outside the canyon, but they have never been to this place at all, and it is difficult to find a way out for a while, if it is dark and sleeps in such a snowy place, with their current equipment, it will definitely die. Uncle Kong and Tang Zhendong were anxious, but fortunately, when it was about to get dark, they found a cave in the canyon. The two of them raised a fire in the cave, the warm flames were beating, and they suddenly felt much more comfortable, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, so they could deal with this night.
The rescued man had been in a semi-comatose state, and they checked his pockets and found a document from which they knew that this person's name was Huang Shan, a geological exploration researcher at a scientific research institute in Hebei Province. It seems that they should be an expeditionary team.
The two of them boiled a little snow water in a kettle, drank a little for themselves, and fed some to Huangshan to warm his body. Tang Zhendong got up and observed the entire cave, and found that this cave was actually very deep, and it was pitch black when he walked inside, he picked up a torch and shone it inside, but he couldn't see the end at all. Tang Zhendong walked back with some doubts, reached out and touched the stone wall of the cave, and suddenly said "Huh". Uncle Kong asked him what was wrong?
Tang Zhendong frowned and said: "This cave is not naturally formed, there are traces of artificial excavation. I'm afraid there's something in this cave. ”
Uncle Kong could guess what Tang Zhendong was referring to, and he was shocked at that time.
The two of them could not suppress the impulse in their hearts, and after discussing it, they picked up the torch and walked towards the inside of the cave.
Uncle Kong told me that the cave they found at that time was the ancient tomb we entered now. In Uncle Kong's words, what they found in the cave at that time shocked them greatly. They found a graveyard and walked along it all the way to the depths.
I wanted to ask what they had discovered. But Uncle Kong waved his hand and signaled me not to break him, so I had to give up.
Uncle Kong, they were both excited and nervous at that time. But just as they came to a corner, they suddenly swept it with their peripheral vision, and found that something seemed to be following them, and the black shadow disappeared in a flash.
Uncle Kong and Tang Zhendong pretended to be nothing, and as soon as they rounded the corner, Tang Zhendong picked up the gun on his back. Because they were all armed with guns and bullets on their patrols at that time. The two of them were also very bold at that time, and when they heard the black shadow behind them move again, they immediately turned around and rushed out from the corner again, shouting: "What person! ”
The black shadow was startled, turned around and ran back. Tang Zhendong pulled the trigger without hesitation, but the light was too dim at that time, and the black shadow was also extremely flexible, so it didn't hit.
Seeing that the black shadow had lost its trace, the two of them turned around and walked towards the tomb again, and found that the space here was huge, and they couldn't find out for a while, and because of the black shadow, the two didn't dare to stay any longer, so they hurriedly walked out of the tomb. But when they returned to the cave, they found that the Yellow Mountain, which was still unconscious, was gone, and they looked around, but there was no fight or the footprints of wild beasts. Therefore, they concluded that the black shadow in the tomb just now was Huangshan.
It is likely that this Huangshan has woken up and overheard the conversation between the two of them, so he also followed them into the depths of the cave and entered the ancient tomb road. But looking at his skills just now, and that psychological quality, it is by no means as simple as a member of the scientific expedition, as for his true identity, it cannot be verified. Later, they also secretly investigated this person, but the person has disappeared, and nothing else has been found.
It was also for this reason that for the sake of safety, Tang Zhendong and Uncle Kong decided to report the discovery of the ancient tomb to the above. The next day, troop reinforcements arrived and rescued the two of them, as well as the bodies of the other victims, which later appeared in the newspapers.
What Uncle Kong said basically corresponds to our previous findings. But what Uncle Kong said just now made my back chill.
Uncle Kong's experience of encountering the dark shadow in the tomb was exactly the same as the scene I dreamed of after falling into a coma in the ancient tomb.
