Chapter 67: Dapu Ghost Worm
Xia Yang knew that the Kunlun Glacier was like a lingering nightmare in Hu Bayi's heart, and it was no wonder that he had such a reaction. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info said to Shirley Yang and Professor Chen that I will take a look, and followed out of the carriage.
When he walked out, it happened that Wang Fatzi also got up, and hurriedly asked him: "Brother Xia, what's wrong? I see that Lao Hu's face is a little wrong, what happened?"
"Let's go, go over and have a look. Xia Yang said a word, and followed with him.
When the two came to the junction of the carriages, Wang Fatzi hurriedly said, "Lao Hu, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Bayi stood in front of the door of the carriage and looked up at him: "Is there any smoke?"
Wang Fatzi hurriedly took out a cigarette, lit one for him, and asked, "Old Hu, Brother Xia, what's going on, you can tell me?"
"Professor Chen: They said they were going to go to Kunlun Glacier instead. Xia Yang leaned on the carriage and said lightly.
"Kunlun Glacier, what's the matter, didn't you say it's better to go to the desert? What are you doing there, how cold is it there!" Wang Fatzi said confusedly: "Then what did you say?"
"Don't go. Hu Bayi took a hard puff of his cigarette.
Wang Fatzi didn't know why, and thought that Hu Bayi just felt that he had taken a detour, which was different from their original plan, so he said angrily: "Old Hu, what's the matter? I don't think it matters, let's go to one more place, let her add more money, can't work in vain!"
Seeing that he was still withdrawing money, Hu Bayi glared at him fiercely: "I won't go!"
"What's the matter?" Wang Fatzi said sneeringly, he really had never seen Hu Bayi so emotional.
Hu Bayi took a deep breath and controlled his emotions for a while, then looked at him and Xia Yang, and whispered: "I used to be a soldier there......"
It turned out that 12 years ago, that is, in 1970, because China felt the threat of international hostile forces, it constantly carried out strategic readjustments, expanded its armed forces, prepared for war and famine, dug deep holes, and accumulated extensive grain.
At that time, it happened that the troops of the whole country were digging holes to carry out civil air defense construction, desperately digging all kinds of holes -- air defense, ammunition reserves, strategic concealment, and so on, and there were almost no troops in the whole army that did not dig holes.
Hu Bayi's unit was no exception, and the whole division was reorganized into an engineering unit and turned into a professional burrowing unit, which was to build a huge underground combat readiness facility in the depths of Kunlun Mountain.
Once, he and his comrade-in-arms Xiao Luan were driving a truck to deliver supplies, but halfway through the car, they were hit by a sudden blue light on the windshield of the car.
Puzzled, he and Xiao Luan got out of the car to check and found that it was a strange-shaped little ladybug, with a whole body like transparent crystal, and its wings were even more crystal clear. Through the transparent carapace, you can vaguely see the translucent internal organs inside, and there seems to be a faint blue flame flowing in it, which looks indescribably mysterious and weird.
Hu Bayi felt very strange at that time, how could there be live insects in this cold and snowy land? He and Xiao Luan studied for a long time, but they did not come to any conclusion.
Xiao Luan was curious, took out a glass jar from the car, put the ladybug in it, and planned to take it back to show his comrades.
But strangely, when they got back into the car, they found that the car was dead and non-combustible. After inspection, it was found that the high-pressure oil pipe had collapsed, and Hu Bayi had no choice but to go to the military station alone to ask for help, leaving his comrade-in-arms Xiao Luan alone to guard the materials on the car.
However, when he came back with the people from the military station, he found that the car was empty, and there was no trace of Xiao Luan everywhere, but near the truck, he found a pile of humanoid ashes, and there was an empty glass jar on the side, and the blue ladybug had disappeared without a trace......
Hearing this paragraph, Wang Fatzi was stunned, and said in a daze: "You mean, your comrade-in-arms...... Look...... Like burned?"
Hu Bayi nodded heavily: "The final conclusion that the army gave Xiao Luan was that in the process of performing the mission, he encountered the outlaws and recognized the martyrs. But I always felt that Xiao Luan's death must have something to do with that ladybug! And what happened later also proved my opinion. ”
"Lao Hu, what you encountered should be a fire ladybug. Xia Yang said lightly, then turned his head and said behind him, "Miss Yang, I'm not wrong, right?"
Hearing his words, Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi suddenly raised their heads, only to see Shirley Yang didn't know when, but also stood at the door of the carriage, it seemed that they had been listening for a long time.
They could also see that Shirley Yang was very surprised, she glanced at Xia Yang with a surprised gaze, and said, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Hu, can you go up to me?" I want to talk to you again. With that, she turned and walked towards her car.
"Hey, this American is eavesdropping on us. Also, why don't you call me the fat man?" the fat man looked unhappy.
Xia Yang and Hu Bayi glanced at each other, ignored him, and followed behind Shirley Yang, and Wang Fatzi muttered and followed.
After entering, Professor Chen beckoned them to sit down again, and Shirley Yang picked up a book and handed it to Hu Bayi, with a photo on it: "Mr. Hu, is this the worm you saw?"
"Xiaohu, is it it?" Professor Chen also handed over a photo.
Hu Bayi looked at these two photos and looked at them for a while before nodding: "Yes, that's it!"
"This kind of bug, as Mr. Xia said, is called a fire ladybug. At present, it can only be found in the records of explorers and archaeologists around the world, and these are only sporadic information, and for many people, it is just a legend. ”
Shirley Yang looked at Xia Yang deeply as he spoke, and asked, "Mr. Xia seems to know about the fire ladybug as well? Have you seen it with your own eyes? You must know that ordinary people can't name it." ”
Xia Yang took the two photos from Hu Bayi's hand, and saw that they were a strange-shaped ladybug, similar in appearance to a seven-star ladybug, which was roughly the same as the image he saw in the play. He shook his head: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I only know a little bit about it." ”
Professor Chen was a little surprised: "Oh? It turns out that Comrade Xiao Xia also knows about this creature, can you tell us about it?"
After Xia Yang watched the online drama, he was also very curious about this thing, and he once checked it on the Internet. He recalled for a moment and said: "This kind of bug, it's not accurate to call it a fire ladybug, the correct name should be a Dapu ghost worm, or a Dapu demon worm." In Tibetan, it means demon worm. Legend has it that this is a demon insect driven by the demon kingdom, which is the anger of the deceased, and the graves of the demon kingdom will use it to protect the corpse. ”
Seeing that everyone else was staring at him with shocked and strange eyes, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Dapu Ghost Worm, there are two forms of ice and fire, one is the 'immeasurable karmic fire', which is the kind that Lao Hu encountered in the photo, it will emit blue flames, as long as a person touches a little, it will never be extinguished, and it will be burned to ashes in an instant. The other is called 'Nai Poor God Ice', this form of Dapu ghost worm has a silvery-white body, like a shimmering Xiaoice crystal, which can cause the contact to freeze into frost in an instant, and then shatter into powder. Whether it's a fire bug or an ice bug, you can only destroy it with the corresponding weakness, and if you use other methods to attack, it will only make the ghost bug more and more. ”
"I'll go!Brother Xia, how do you know so clearly, it sounds too scary!" Wang Fatzi shuddered.
Xia Yang said with a flat face: "It's just hearsay." ”
Shirley Yang couldn't imagine that Xia Yang knew far more than her, and didn't believe his so-called "hearsay" statement, so she looked at him even more in her heart.
"Great! I didn't expect Comrade Xiao Xia to know so much, what a blessing, we have met you and Comrade Xiao Hu in a row, two real strange people, and now I am more confident in finding the exquisite ancient city. Professor Chen looked at Shirley Yang and said happily.
Shirley Yang also showed a rare smile and agreed.
After finishing speaking, Professor Chen moved his gaze to Hu Bayi again: "Comrade Xiaohu, can you tell us about your experience back then?"
