Immortal Sand Sea Chapter 35: The Forbidden Cave
Although there is the word water next to the name of Haibo Bay, it can not be touched by the water at all, the only forcibly connected is that it is separated from the Yellow River to the west, this name is derived from the Mongolian and Tibetan language "Hairuob Daohai", which means "the bay of the lion", and there is also a magical legend: according to legend, in the era of Genghis Khan, there was a famous blacksmith named Yole Daozhima, who made bows and arrows and armor for Genghis Khan's western expedition on Zhuozi Mountain, and Genghis Khan gave the fertile land of Zhuozi Mountain to the blacksmith after his victory. The blacksmith had a son, named Hai Ruobu, who was born as heroic and fierce as a lion, and over time, the Mongolian herdsmen called his meadow by his name, and it gradually evolved into what it is now.
The rain in the north of the country is scarce, especially in the early spring, the rainfall plummeted, but yesterday it rained all night, until dawn to stop the rain began to clear, Lao Tong said that this is auspicious rain, we will definitely have a full harvest this trip.
Two other liberation cars drove in the compound early in the morning, so we didn't have to crowd into the car like arhats, and I got into a newer car with Qiangzi and Chen Laogou to follow them, and the expedition team started its journey from Haibo Bay to Bayan Zhuoer.
"Master Dog, do you know what we're going to Bayan Zhuoer to investigate? Even Yang Yaozhong, who is known as the number one master outside the Guan, was invited. I asked, smoking a cigarette.
"Isn't there a forbidden hole, I heard Lao Tong say that since the second half of last year, people have been missing in nearby villages one after another, and I saw a ghost fire in the forbidden hole, and the local herdsmen reported to the police station, but then a small group of search and rescue teams sent by the army were all missing, which attracted the attention of the above, but this matter was afraid that the impact would be too great and cause unnecessary trouble, so I found an expedition team to sneak in to find out the situation, this is the case, I don't think it is too famous, at most it is a mistake into the tomb and touched the trap... Chen Laogou also smoked, his eyes narrowed and he said slowly.
"No matter the wind and water, it is better than a leisurely stroll. Our Panjialing murderous tomb has survived, what are we afraid of now that our team is strong and strong? Hadron took the conversation and said in a narration.
Indeed, without investigation, there is no right to speak, and we will have to wait until we know what is wrong with what is going on.
Driving in this desert, even the car is a little fluttering and can't grasp the strength, the car sitting in front of Tong Wanying suddenly burst with white smoke and burst, as the saying goes, a good beginning is half the success, and it didn't take a long time to encounter such a thing, a little unlucky, Chen Laogou spat on the ground: "There are no taboos!" ”
Finally changed the spare tire, not long after driving either someone has altitude sickness or a small relief, all the way stop and stop less than two hours of the journey is a full half a day to arrive, the butt is upside down, one by one complaining.
The place we arrived at is called Urad Qianqi, which is located in the southeast of Bayannur City, close to the north bank of the Yellow River and the east end of the Hetao Plain, and the car stopped in front of a round yurt like white flowers.
"Tasai Bainu!"
"Tasai Bainu!"
Lao Tong still greeted the herdsmen in Mongolian.
"Dear Inner Mongolia educated youth, why did your father say Qi Sai Bainu when he saw Yang Yaozhong before, and now he says Ta Sai Bainu?" I leaned over to Xiaowan and deliberately asked a question to see if she understood Mongolian.
"Tsai Bainu is a greeting between friends, and Tasai Bainu is the first time to deal with it...... I told you you couldn't figure it out. She glanced at me with a somewhat disdainful look and replied.
After introducing us to the local herdsmen, the comrades of the People's Liberation Army hurriedly retreated, after all, the little comrade was still waiting for them to come to the rescue halfway.
I heard that the nomads have always been hospitable, but now it seems that this is true, and they each pulled one and invited us to the yurt, which was covered with layers of patterned red carpets, and the long table in front of us was already filled with mare's milk wine glasses, and the herdsmen warmly welcomed us to our seats.
"This is Su Latu, the flag commander of the former banner of Ulate, and this is Tong Lidong, a professor of the National Cultural Relics Expedition Team."
Yang Yaozhong introduced the two leaders again, and after some polite words, he finally got to the point and talked about the "forbidden hole".
This forbidden cave is originally derived from a long-standing legend of Shadege Sumu, located in the northern foot of the Ula Mountain, Shadege Sumu venerates the god Jin Piluo, the forbidden cave is said to be a place to refine the elixir of immortality, and then the god of Piluo took medicine and flew away, this hole was sealed, but the earthquake that occurred last year shook the forbidden hole to the crack, since then all those who are curious to enter have never come out, the herdsmen said that this is the punishment that angered the god of Pira, in order to search for the truth, but also to avoid further panic among the herdsmen, That's where our expedition came in.
"Lao Tong, we've known each other for a long time, and I'll tell you the truth, it's not just that someone is missing in this forbidden cave, but one of the PLA soldiers who once went in came out alive, but his spirit is already deranged." Yang Yaozhong added.
Lao Tong nodded slowly, judging from his grim expression, it was obvious that this expedition mission was not so simple.
"Please rest assured, flag commander, our team will resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the organization and live up to its mission."
It's Zhao Xudong again, this kid is a thief, he hasn't seen his real skills so far, maybe the captain's position is based on his mouth.
"Flag Chief, you put a hundred hearts, with me and Huazi here, no problem is a problem." Qiangzi also couldn't get used to Zhao Xudong's style, so he followed the trend and made a guarantee.
In order to welcome our expedition, the herders held a small "Naadam" grassland gathering in the evening, where bonfires lit up the night sky and competed with the stars in the sky.
I didn't go with them, but sat on the grass and thought about what they said about the forbidden cave during the day, and I couldn't understand why anyone broke the taboo when it was a forbidden place where the herdsmen knew each other. What kind of secrets are there that attract them?
The team members are dancing happily on the grassland, but the lights are flashing in the yurt for us to rest, I thought it was a careless comrade who forgot to turn off the lights and was ready to go out, but just at the door, the flag commander hurriedly walked out of the yurt and met me, simply said hello to me and left, the strange thing is that he did not wear a very Inner Mongolian costume for such a grand party, but appeared in our camp in an inconspicuous casual dress.
When I opened the tent thoughtfully, Yang Yaozhong was actually inside.
"Professor Yang, why don't you go around when it's so lively outside?" Although his previous identity was an inverted fighter, but now that he has eaten a public meal, he can't be called "Master Zu", anyway, this scholar likes to fight for level, so I simply called Professor Yang.
"I have lived in Inner Mongolia for more than 40 years, and I am tired of it." He squinted at me and replied.
I walked in to greet him, and he responded in Mandarin with a Mongolian accent.
"What, what's on your mind?" He wondered.
Since he guessed it, I nodded and admitted that I had some doubts about the forbidden cave.
He smiled and raised his arm to sit me down and speak slowly.
I said bluntly: "If it is a forbidden place that everyone in your herdsmen knows, why do people still violate the ban?" I was blunt.
At this time, he stared at me carefully: "The flag commander only said the legend that the god of Piluo was refining the elixir of immortality in the forbidden cave, but it also has another story, Qin Shi Huang once built the last pass of the Great Wall here, and it is also the most important pass used to resist the Xiongnu, he strayed into the immortal sand sea by chance and saw the god of Piluo, so he sent an army to the forbidden cave to transport a large number of treasures to seek the elixir of immortality, and then the god of Piluo flew away and did not give the elixir of immortality to Qin Shi Huang, and those countless treasures were left alone in the forbidden cave, It has become the biggest treasure in the hearts of tomb robbers. ”
"The local government could have sent a whole force into the cave to search, so why let us make a trip." I am even more puzzled, if there is really great value in it, why the state does not take action to solve it.
He continued: "Inner Mongolia is vast, this forbidden cave is only the tip of the iceberg in the unknown world of Inner Mongolia, and the forbidden cave is not accessible to everyone, to get close to it, you must first pass through the entire Shadege Sumu Hills to reach the Mutuo Gobi, and at the end of that immortal sand sea can find the whereabouts of the forbidden cave, those treasure hunters may just die in the middle of the road, and they have not even touched the edge of the forbidden cave." Moreover, the secret of this forbidden cave is already illusory and has no empirical evidence, how can the country launch a large-scale operation based on a legend, and the current international environment is tight, which will inevitably allow Western countries to take the opportunity to make trouble. ”
"So the mission of our expedition is to help you pass through the Immortal Sand Sea?" I finally figured out the value of our people, which is to help him get to his destination smoothly and prove it.
He handed me a glass of mare's milk wine and said, "You resemble me when I was young......"
Speaking of this, the tent of the yurt was lifted, and Qiangzi and Chen Laogou swayed in drunkenly.
"Huazi, why don't you go drinking and dancing, the dog master has vomited." Qiangzi couldn't even walk steadily, and said wine: "Zhao Xudong's old boy drank so much that he drunk us all, and Comrade Xiaowan drank it down." “
It's really a bastard, just pour my brother wine, but he doesn't have the ability to drink it, and he doesn't even let go of the lesbians.
I rushed out in a huff.
There was still singing and dancing around the campfire, and I scanned my eyes like a reconnaissance plane, and finally found the two of them in the corner of the campfire.
I was walking towards them, but Zhao Xudong took out his hand to lift Tong Xiaowan and put one arm around his neck and walked to the back of the yurt.
"What does this kid want to do?" I muttered to myself, and then picked up my pace and trotted to the yurt.
The yurt is lively in front of it, but there are no other idlers behind it, I leaned over the tent to see, at this time Zhao Xudong held Wanying in his arms, his head slowly approached her, and almost the next second he was going to have a close contact.
"What are you doing!" I shouted, Zhao Xudong was so frightened by this shout that his hands softened, and Xiaowan fell heavily on the grass.
"You kid is doing a good thing for me, wait for me." Zhao Xudong pointed at me and said viciously, and then ran away from the back of the yurt.
"If you still have a wicked person, sue first, believe it or not, I'll sue you for a hooliganism!" I yelled at his figure running away.
At this time, Xiao Wan, who was drunk, woke up, touched the back of her head with her hand and screamed: "It hurts......"
"How's it going, are you alright?" I asked, crouching down and resting her head on my arm.
"I ...... How is it here? She asked, full of wine.
Before I could explain what had just happened, she suddenly stood up and stared at me angrily, and then a slap came to my face: "Stinky rascal! ”
Mao Zhuxi said that the road to revolution was tortuous, but I was too miserable, and I was directly regarded as a hooligan by her, and I took the thunder for Zhao Xudong.
"Don't slander a good comrade." Just as the second round of attack hit, I quickly grabbed her wrist and successfully defused it.
"What the hell have you done to me?" She asked, tearing at her collar.
"I've dug up your ancestral grave!" She still thinks that while I am drunk, I am going to drag her here to do dirty things, although I usually play poor with her, but how can I be a villain who takes advantage of people's danger, since I can't listen to it, I don't bother to explain, I replied and left angrily.
The matter of the forbidden cave itself has bothered me, and now there are contradictions in the team, and it seems that this trip to Inner Mongolia is destined to be extremely bumpy.
