Three hundred and fifty-six nightmares
Han Daring and the others were exploring the secrets deep underground, but the entrance of the stone shrine cave on the ground had been occupied by a group of armed squads with loaded guns, who were numerous and brought a lot of sharp weapons, and dug up the entrance of the stone shrine cave after a while.
The group was heavily armed, armed with light machine guns and explosive grenades, in addition to a gun of length and a short one, and entered the cave with ropes one after another, led by the three leaders. The strangest thing is that there is also a half-grown child in this well-trained armed team, and they also follow this group into the cave, and march towards the depths of the cave.
Deep underground, the people resting at the head of the city did not know whether they were tired or the warm and humid environment under the ground was too comfortable, and they slept for three or four hours and still did not wake up. Chen Feiyang and Li Huan, who originally said that they would take turns on duty with Han Da'er, have also been sleeping soundly.
Han Daringer had suffered an internal injury earlier, and it had not healed, and in the process of climbing the top of the city, he used his real strength to make his qi and blood surge, and at this time he gradually felt tired, resting on the battlements, but fell asleep unconsciously.
He felt a breeze blowing on his face, and it was pitch black in front of him, as if it had become very humid and stuffy, and he could faintly smell a musty smell and the fishy smell of river water in his nose.
Suddenly, he realized that he was in a dark tunnel. Standing in the icy water, the current was constantly washing against your ankles, and from time to time something slippery and greasy would pass by your feet.
It was a feeling he was familiar with, an environment he had experienced firsthand. It was also the environment that once made him, a bold man, a nightmare. This is clearly the time in the Nine Bends, the underground river that made me die for a lifetime.
After he escaped from the underground river, although he was fine on the surface, the deep fear of the underground river channel was already deeply rooted in his heart. He never admits defeat, but after getting the nickname of Han Daringer, he was tired by life, and he was even more unwilling to easily admit that he also had a fearful side, so he buried his fear of the dark, sultry, and humid environment of the underground river deep in his heart.
Later, he fell into a dry well with Ye Ling again, which originally aroused the fear of the underground environment, but because of his obsession with investigating the case, coupled with the stubborn character in his character, he actually relied on his amazing willpower to face his most fearful environment, and finally overcame and suppressed this fear.
Later, when he experienced a similar environment, although he could always faintly remember the experience of the underground river in his heart, the impact on him was minimal.
Unexpectedly, at this time, he was a little distracted, but somehow, he suddenly found himself in the dark and sultry environment of the underground river again, and the fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was aroused again. At this time, I could only hear the dead silence around me, and I could only hear the movement of the river and the sound of my own drum-like heartbeat.
In the dark environment, the air became extremely thin, as if every time he breathed, the oxygen in the air was a little less, and the feeling of gradual suffocation made his chest feel tight, and his breathing became more rapid. It was as if all the blood was concentrating on his head and face, and his ears were hot and his temples were swollen, as if they were about to crack at any moment.
He couldn't help but reach out and scratch around, trying to open his mouth and shout, but he couldn't make a sound. All the sounds around him were gone, even the sound of the river flowing, only the sound of his own heart beating more and more intensely, and he was about to break his ribs in his chest and jump out.
Suddenly, his shoulders tightened, he felt a shaking, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Feiyang's face appear in front of him. He looked at his surroundings again and realized that he was still at the head of the city, and it was just a dream of Nan Ke just now. It's just that there seems to be another very small voice in his ears, as if he is whispering and like chanting, but when Han Daring wants to listen carefully, the voice is no longer audible.
Chen Feiyang asked with concern:
"Master! What happened to you? I got up to pee, and I saw that you were sweating profusely with your eyes closed, and you were still shivering, aren't you sick! ”
Han Daring touched his forehead, it was full of sweat, and he couldn't help but let out a breath of air, and said:
"I'm fine!"
I felt like I was soaked in sweat, the feeling in my dream was very real, and the fear still lingered in my heart even after waking up.
At this time, a fresh breeze hit and blew on him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds and mist above were blown away by the strong wind, but it was the strong wind that drove the air to flow extremely fast, and there was this gentle breeze.
Han Daring lifted his spirits and got up and looked towards the tower in the center of the boulder labyrinth. At this time, the clouds and mist were slightly dispersed by the strong wind, and the half-tall towers that had originally penetrated into the clouds and mist were all revealed.
I saw that the tower was seventy or eighty meters long, and at the top of the tower, there were two exits, and there was a section of stone platform outside each exit. The exit and the stone platform are in the opposite direction. The stone platform on one side is facing the direction of the rock wall platform where everyone came down, there are two stone pillars on the side of the stone platform, and there are two iron cables with the thickness of human arms hanging on the stone pillars, the iron cables have been broken, and there are many slightly thinner chains attached to them.
Thinking about these two iron cables, they should have been straight to the platform. It was on the platform that I saw the two rusted and broken iron cables. It is estimated that this was originally a ropeway bridge, and the slightly thin chains attached to the two iron cables must have been connected to each other after hanging down, and then the bridge was laid as a passage for walking.
On the other side of the tower, there are also two stone pillars, on which two iron cables blow chains, pulling up a wooden plank ropeway bridge, which leads to a stone tower outside the city wall at the other end of the labyrinth. Presumably, in ancient times, people who came down from the ground could pass directly from the platform through the ropeway bridge, through the tower in the middle of the labyrinth, and over the black earth and the city and labyrinth made of white ashlars.
At this time, the breeze gradually stopped, and the clouds and mist above the head also converged and closed again, and the upper half of the tower was once again inserted into the cloud sealing fog lock, but it was no longer visible. Even the top of the stone towers outside the walls of the ropeway, bridge, river, and city walls had sunk into the clouds.
Han Daring looked at his watch and found that everyone was here, and they had been resting for nearly three and a half hours. He was about to wake up everyone who was still asleep, but he saw that almost all of them had their eyes closed, trembling all over, cold sweat on their foreheads, and their teeth chattering.
Chen Feiyang said:
"Master, everyone is like you just now!"
Han Daring hurriedly separated from Chen Feiyang to wake everyone up. But everyone slept too hard, wasted half of their energy, shouted again, and shook their shoulders, which woke everyone up one by one.
Fan Tong slept the most, and Chen Feiyang saw that he couldn't wake up, so he went up and gave him two big mouths, which woke him up.
Everyone who woke up, without exception, was soaked in sweat, their faces were pale, as if they had just experienced a test of life and death, and they all seemed to have palpitations and dull eyes. It took a while for everyone to slowly come back to their senses.
Han Da'er asked tentatively at Mei Ruohong:
"You! Is it a nightmare? ”
Mei Ruohong didn't answer, only nodded, but Ye Ling said:
"I dreamed of my dad...... He...... He had a carapace growing on his body, and he was already ...... Completely unrecognizable to my brother and me, he reached out of the iron door window and tried to grab us...... The iron gate is going to be smashed apart by him! ”
Li Huan also said:
"I had a nightmare, too!"
Han Da'er looked at Wang Weihan and Fan Tong again, and both of them nodded in unison.
Chen Feiyang stuck out his tongue and said:
"Okay! Don't be an infectious disease! ”
Han Daring asked Chen Feiyang:
"What about you? Didn't have a nightmare? ”
Chen Feiyang shook his head and said:
"Nope! I got up and peed, everyone was fine at that time, I was rummaging through the backpack to find something to eat, I just found a box of cans, and when I wanted to open the cans with a knife, I saw that you were the same as them just now, and this time I woke you up! ”
Except for Chen Feiyang, who was awake, everyone had a nightmare almost at the same time, which was too unbelievable. Although there are many strange things that have been experienced along the way, this time everyone has nightmares at the same time is the strangest!
Han Daring's heart couldn't help but be suspicious.
Fan Tong was shocked and said:
"Don't, there's a ghost! I heard that there are ghosts who can support dreams, and at this time, there are ghosts who support dreams, and it is estimated that the omen is not good, this is a warning to us! ”
Han Daring looked at Fan Tong'er and didn't speak, if it was in normal times, someone made a lot of nonsense in front of him and talked about superstition, he would definitely refute it. But at this time, he was full of doubts about Fan Tong's identity, and seeing that he said sincerely, he just quietly observed and didn't say a word.
Chen Feiyang couldn't help but say:
"Where the hell came from! You are so unspeakable, if you want to, you also have a ghost in your heart! ”
This sentence spoke to Han Da'er's heart. However, Fan Tong's reaction was normal, just a look of disdain, and he quarreled with Chen Feiyang.
Mei Ruohong said to Han Daring:
"It's so weird! The frightening environment and feeling in the dream are just like the real thing, could it be that we have been hit by some hallucinogen? ”
Wang Weihan said:
"There aren't any plants around here, could it be that we eat?"
Han Daring said:
"It won't be eaten, Feiyang also ate it just now, isn't he fine!"
Mei Ruohong Road:
"Could it be that the air was sprinkled with hallucinogens, and it was only ...... that it was blown away by the wind just now?"
Ye Ling heard Mei Ruohong's words beside him, and clapped his hands and said:
"Sister Mei! I didn't use it, and I had nightmares just now! ”
"I didn't say anything about you!"
Mei Ruohong said.
"I mean, could it be the guy who came down in front of us and set some trap nearby!"
Han Daring said:
"It's unlikely, the hallucinogens of the Sanyang Sect are already the most powerful, but they also need to be within a certain space or distance, if it is the wind just now, how much dose does it take to cover the entire underground world, if the dose is less, it will be dispersed by the wind, and it will not pose a threat at all!
I think it's probably ...... here."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the boulder labyrinth beneath the battlements, and continued:
"Maybe that's where the weirdness comes from!"
Everyone looked at the boulder labyrinth below at the same time.
Mei Ruohong Road:
"This wall extends far away, and it is likely that both sides are connected to underground rock walls, even if we walk around the city wall, we may not be able to bypass this labyrinth from the city wall!"
Wang Weihan said:
"Instead of us muttering here, let's just go down and break through!"
Han Daring said:
"Let's try to get around the city wall first, it's best not to enter that labyrinth unless we have to, that place is weird!
If in ancient times it was possible to cross the tower from the platform and across the rope bridge through the tower, and directly over this white stone area, then why build a labyrinth below? There must be some strange uses for the labyrinth down there that we don't know about! ”
When everyone thought of Shicai's nightmare, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they all nodded in agreement with Han Da'er's opinion, so they packed up their bags and equipment, and groped their way along the city to the distance.
Wang Weihan was a little anxious in his heart, the people who came down in front of him had obviously passed through this white stone labyrinth, and now his side has slowed down a lot, and he rested for a while before, I am afraid that the Nine Shadows Abacus City without an end country, and the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror, have fallen into the hands of that group of people at this moment, which is really unwilling.
Everyone walked along the road at the entrance of the city wall, Fan Tong had no backpack on his body, although he felt sorry for the food in the bag, and the gold and silver utensils that came along the way, but he was also a little excited, and his pace was much brisker!
Han Daring knew that Fan Tong's identity was not simple, even if he was not the murderer "Mountain Chief", he must have other plans, so he was willing to turn his back to Fan Tong, but he kept walking behind him.
The crowd walked together for a long time before they reached the end of the city wall. The end of the wall is not connected to the other side of the labyrinth.
At the end of the wall was a rock wall that went straight up and down, and the rock wall was like an axe and a knife, and there was nothing easy to climb. And all the way to the road, I found that the labyrinth under the city wall has also stretched to this point.
Mei Ruohong Road:
"I think the walls on both sides of the labyrinth should be parallel, so they don't intersect!"
The people had to go back the way they came, and then march towards another section, hoping that the other end would be connected to the wall on the other side of the labyrinth, and then they could follow the wall to bypass the labyrinth. But when everyone came to the end, they couldn't help but be disappointed.
At the end of the city wall, there was the same rock wall.
Han Daring sighed and said:
"It seems that the city wall on the other side of the labyrinth is indeed parallel to the city wall we are on. It's just that the two parallel lines are not straight lines, but arcs.
I realized that the wall was actually curved, like the arm of a bow, enclosing the black earth under the platform......"
As he spoke, he made a two-handed gesture, one hand seemed to hold a cylinder, and the other straight palm was interlocked, and the palms of the two palms were facing each other. Compare the palm of the hand with a false grip to a city wall, and the palm of the hand with a straight hand to a rock wall.
Then he said:
"It is estimated that this city wall should be very deep into the soil, and it is specially used to block the giant earthworms in the black soil!"
Wang Weihan said:
"Since we can't get through, let's go down quickly and go through the maze to the city wall on the other side!"
Han Daring said:
"No! Can't go down from here! Look over there......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the tower in the distance! At this time, although the tower still stands in the center of the labyrinth, it is extremely far away from everyone's current position!
And then he said:
"We'll have to go back to where we were before we can go down!
I found that the farther away from the tower, the taller the stone wall of the labyrinth below, once you enter the labyrinth, you may not be able to see the tower from here, without the tower as a signpost, it is easy to get lost when you walk inside, maybe you will be trapped in the labyrinth!
Even if I can climb the stone wall, I may not be able to bring everyone up, and the farther away from the tower, the narrower the thickness of the stone wall, it is estimated that it is difficult for ordinary people to walk on it, and the slightest carelessness will fall from the high wall, which is too dangerous! ”
Everyone watched carefully for a while, and found that it was really as Han Dada'er said, so they could only turn around and walk back to the place where they were resting just now! It took more than an hour for everyone to go back and forth, and Wang Weihan was already very anxious.
After walking back and forth, Han Da'er found that this was like a city wall, straight up and down, dozens of meters, in fact, there were no steps leading to the labyrinth below, even an ordinary path. Han Da'er could only tie the rope to the huge ashline that bound the thick rope when everyone came up before, and then everyone slowly slid down the rope to the white labyrinth under the city wall......
