Chapter 37: Strange Landscaping

Everyone has heard of the ghost gate.

Hitting a little adult and scaring children with this kind of ghost story can be described as a fear engraved in the depths of memory.

As for whether anyone has seen it, it's hard to say.

I often hear that so-and-so's heart has stopped beating for a long time, and after waking up, he told that he had gone to a ghost gate, and he also painted a colorful description.

There is also a special class of psychic mediums all over the world, who also claim to be able to go to the ghost gate, and even call the souls of the dead to talk to people.

As for whether what these people say is true or not, I'm afraid only they will always know.

But in any case, the ghost gate they said and the Yun Qianfeng they saw would never be the same, because this was the ghost gate of the material world, the stone gate.

Yun Qianfeng's palm was close to the stone gate, and he said in a low voice:

"Name the gate after that, there's never going to be anything good inside, be careful."

After speaking, he pushed hard, and with a slight friction sound, the hidden stone door opened a gap large enough for people to walk into.

Yun Qianfeng's dogleg knife reached in first, swept it unceremoniously, and then dodged in, holding the knife to protect his chest.

Everything that caught his eye was a little surprising to him, but he could understand it.

Behind the door is a stone platform four or five meters long and wide, or more precisely, a stone pier.

Because the stone platform is adjacent to a river, there is a long wooden boat with a narrow outline next to the stone platform, and there is a river behind the ghost gate, which is easy to understand.

The width of the river is very average, about less than two meters, and it is certain that it was excavated by hand.

The reason why you can see the width of the river is that on both sides of the river there is a row of fluorescent things, neatly arranged parallel to the stone walls on both sides of the river, extending to the far distance, leaving a ghostly reflection in the river.

Yun Qianfeng took the Night Pearl and approached the wooden boat to take a closer look, and found that the wooden boat was made of the entire section of giant wood, but he couldn't tell what kind of wood it was.

I rolled the night pearl in the wooden boat twice to see the whole picture of the wooden boat, which was about seven meters long, almost half a meter wide, and only about thirty centimeters deep, with a sharp head and tail.

After Qin Shuying saw the wooden boat clearly, he showed a thoughtful expression, and said after a while:

"I have seen this kind of wooden boat, when I was in college, I went to the Jiangnan Water Town Museum, there is a wooden boat from the Liangzhu culture period, which is almost exactly the same as this one, and it is said that the wooden boat has a history of more than 5,000 years."

Yun Qianfeng looked at the wooden boat in front of him and said in a low voice:

"The days of this wooden boat in the midst of miracles will only be longer, at least 12,000 years ago."

Jiang Roujia said:

"What kind of wood doesn't rot after soaking in water for more than 10,000 years!"

Yun Qianfeng shook his head and said:

"I can't tell what kind of wood it is, and not only is the boat not rotten, but even the rope that pulls it looks tough."

Judging by the ripples, the river is flowing head-on, so to take a boat to the depths here, you have to pull the tow rope that has no end in sight.

Yun Qianfeng used the night pearl to shine on the river by the stone platform, and said with a wry smile:

"The river is turbid and yellow, it's really the Huangquan Road behind the ghost gate!"

Qin Shuying's face was frightened, and he said helplessly:

"It's indeed Huangquan Road, this wooden boat reaches the opposite side, and after no one on it, it will float back with the river, this is a way to go and no return!"

Yun Qianfeng got on the boat first, the wooden boat shook as he stepped in, Yun Qianfeng hurriedly sat inside, kept his center of gravity, and said:

"Come on, the three of us have no turning back for a long time."

Qin Shuying and Jiang Roujia nodded and boarded the wooden boat.

These two beautiful women were born in the south and are very experienced in boating, unlike Yun Qianfeng, who was unstable when he got on the boat, the strength on the two of them swayed with the wooden boat, which seemed to be shaking, but they actually stood firmly.

Seeing that Yun Qianfeng was about to stand up and pull the rope to ferry, Qin Shuying hurriedly said:

"You sit down, you won't use that force, you will overturn the wooden boat again."

Yun Qianfeng hurriedly sat down, he didn't want to fall into your muddy river, the ghost knows what was inside.

The two girls pulled the boat together to move against the current, but fortunately, the current was very gentle, but it didn't take much effort.

Yun Qianfeng sat there and watched the ghostly green light in front of him.

The green light is all one by one, each section is about half a meter wide and about two meters long, which seems to be attached to the stone walls on both sides, and the stones exposed between each section of green light are carved with patterns, not like pictotems, but more like the symbol of blessing used to express sound.

"Ghost Gate, Huangquan Road, then these things that emit green light are the flowers on the other side! But how do you look like a microscopic landscaping of a plant wall? If you look at that section of fluorescent things, the plants growing on them look like microscopic tropical rainforests, and the plants also glow? ”

This question bumped into Qin Shuying's knowledge, she looked at those luminous objects and said:

"It's not a plant, it's a luminescent fungus, a fungus that's so common, bitter oysters, bee mushrooms, bleeding fairy helmets, etc., that glow on their own at night to attract insects to spread their spores.

When I was in graduate school, there was an alumnus who specialized in the pharmacological toxicity of this luminescent fungus, and I remember her saying that it seems that this fungus contains oxidized fluorescein molecules, which can chemically react with oxygen and emit light by consuming its own energy.

Don't touch them, I don't know what kind of luminescent fungus this is, but all luminescent fungi are basically highly poisonous. ”

Yun Qianfeng couldn't help but sigh that the world was so big that there were no surprises.

Jiang Roujia herself studied art, although she finally went to a film and television university, she learned to paint since she was a child and is very sensitive to the details of the picture.

She looked at the glowing things and hesitated:

"Look at the outline of each individual glowing fungus arrangement, does it look like the shape of a human being?"

"Huh?"

Qin Shuying was stunned.

Yun Qianfeng squinted his eyes and moved his head back, looking at the silhouette from a distance, and couldn't help but be surprised:

"It's really like a person lying on the wall, with arms, legs, and heads."

Speaking of which, he waved his hand and continued:

"Hold the boat steady for a moment, and I'll see what it is."

Qin Shuying and Jiang Roujia hurriedly grabbed the rope and kept the wooden boat in this position, Qin Shuying did not forget to advise:

"Don't touch it with your hands."

Yun Qianfeng nodded, took out the dogleg knife and played with those glowing fungi, but the bottom of these things was extremely tough, and it was extremely difficult to get rid of them, so Yun Qianfeng had to change the way and inserted the dogleg knife into the lowest layer of the luminous fungus, slowly warping up.

"It's opened!"

Jiang Roujia said curiously while looking at it.

Yun Qianfeng leveraged his wrist, leaned forward, and quickly pried up the entire piece of glowing fungus on the stone platform.

"Miss Qin, hold the wooden boat steady, Jiang Roujia, you take the Night Pearl forward, I'll see what these luminous fungi grow on, they are so tough."

Jiang Roujia hurriedly held the Night Pearl with one hand and placed it in front of the whole piece of glowing fungus like turf.

The light gradually enveloped the glowing fungus, and the three of them also saw what was in front of them.

"Ahh

The night pearl in Jiang Roujia's hand fell directly into the river, and she was so frightened that she sat back, if she hadn't been grabbed by Yun Qianfeng's quick hand, she would definitely have turned over into the yellow spring.

Qin Shuying also exclaimed almost at the same time, and couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand.

Yun Qianfeng was a little better, but he pulled the knife back as if he had been electrocuted, and by the way, he lifted the whole piece of glowing fungus like grass into the water, and then gasped for air.

The thing, the thing that glowed like a turf, was a human skin, a whole human skin cut from its back. Hollow eye sockets, deformed nostrils, distorted mouth......

Instead of lying down, they lie on their stomachs, and glowing fungi grow on the backs of these skins, lush like miniature rainforests.

Yun Qianfeng looked at the road ahead, and there were one piece of luminous fungus on both sides of the river, I don't know how many.

But he knew that under each one there was a human skin lying on his stomach facing the wall.

"Hurry up, get out of this waterway, this is not a place for people, this is hell!"

Yun Qianfeng also stood up, and the three of them quickly pulled the rope together, and the wooden boat quickly floated towards the end.

Behind them, countless blisters bubbled out of the human skin that had been lifted into the river by Yun Qianfeng's nervousness, as if they were breathing, and as if they were drinking the river water to their heart's content.

The glowing fungus instantly dimmed when it met the water, revealing its original withered grass yellow, soaked in water like cheese in a hot pot, quickly melting, and then melting into the pores of the human skin.

The thick yellow fungus is very similar to slime mold, the kind of slime mold with the highest IQ on the earth, even a hundred years ahead of humans.

In a short time, the human skin looked as white and tender as a living person, and it twisted in the water a few times, and then a thin skin wriggled like a manta ray, and went up against the current.

It's blazing fast!
