Chapter 171: Emergency Reinforcements

Shirley Yang sighed lightly and said: “If you say that there is a sound on the piano, why doesn’t the piano sound in the box? If the sound is on the finger, why not listen to it on the gentleman’s finger. I don’t know how to do it, even if there is a piano with fingers, but also can’t solve the mystery.”

The fat man also lamented: “It seems that Su Dongpo is also a decoding expert, but we now have the piano and fingers, just this finger is not divided into slips, still can not play the tune, these jade ring is ultimately useless, the value is also inevitably to be greatly discounted.”

So it seems, very likely to coincide with the ancient lost “sixteen words heavenly trigrams”, if my family heirloom book “sixteen words yin and yang feng shui secret art” has the whole book, then I should be able to know the arrangement of these sixteen jade rings, but now I only know the name of the sixteen words, unless my grandfather’s master, yin and yang eyes Mr. Sun resurrected, you can ask him how to arrange the sixteen trigrams. How to arrange the hexagrams, otherwise where to learn.

I am afraid of “雮 dust beads” and the information in the book of heaven has a significant correlation, if not unlocked, can not eliminate the curse of the bottomless ghost hole, but how, but also wait to go back to Beijing to take out the “雮 dust beads” from the head to know, we can not do anything about it, and do not have the heart to go to the We have nothing to do, but we don’t want to fiddle with those “bright weapons” anymore.

Fatty went to the food truck to buy back some food and beer, Shirley Yang said to me during the meal: “Old Hu, I’ve been thinking about where King Xian’s Dust Pearl came from, there are two possibilities, one is the end of the Qin Dynasty when the turmoil, from the Central Plains, and the second may be obtained from Tibet, according to the history of the outside world, that set of Mistletoe, the earliest is also originated from the Tibet. ”

I drank some beer, the brain becomes more than usual to be clear, listen to Shirley Yang said about this matter, then think “雮尘珠” most likely the earliest is the Tibetan side of a sacred object, dedication to the king hopes to become immortal after he can go to the place that he saw in the lake scene, but also the costume of the bizarre humanoid made of bronze statues, placed in the front of the Palace of Heaven, the purpose is to first through Over dry, meat coffin most secret place of the mural, a detailed depiction of the view of the lake view when the location of the city is enshrined in a huge eyeball, but this and the Xinjiang desert in the ghost cave, and what is the connection between each other? It’s really puzzling.

I think the final key may have to fall to the place depicted in the murals, the place where the specific, we have no idea, and even do not know whether the world really exists such a place, perhaps once existed before, now can not be found.

But I did see those strange clothes of the human form, so I told Shirley Yang some of my past as a soldier on the Kunlun, these things I am always reluctant to remember, too sad and tragic, think of it would like to be pointed down and plucked out the heart as painful, but that scene as if it had happened yesterday as vivid as a clear and far away.

In the winter of 1970, my comrade-in-arms “Big Guy” and I, as well as Luo Ning, a female geological prospector, escaped from the abyss of death, thanks to the rescue by the patrol of the military station, and the underground and aboveground environments, one hot and one cold, causing us all to be feverish and comatose, and we were sent to the hospital in the military sub-district.

Luo Ning’s condition deteriorated, the third day had to be transferred to the hospital, and then how her situation, I’m not sure, never heard from her again, the big man and I just had a high fever for two days, a few days of fluids, ate a few meals for the sick, and recovered.

On the sixth day of hospitalization, an officer Xu from our division propaganda team came to see us. Xu said that Big Guy and I were the first to receive third-class merit after our division entered the Kunlun Mountains, and that he wanted to take a few pictures of us to publicize them throughout the division and to stimulate the revolutionary spirit of the fighters.

I was not in a good mood, I wanted to get out of the hospital as soon as possible, a class, there are only two survivors left, it is best to go back to the company, lest lying in the hospital bed, all day long, when I close my eyes, I see those who sacrificed their comrades in front of my eyes, listening to Officer Xu said, the main force of our division will soon be driven into the Kunlun Mountains, he gave me a photo, he is going to go to the “Frozen Springs After taking my picture, he was going to the “Frozen Springs” military station to look for the advance party.

I heard is going to the “Frozen Springs” station, immediately came to the spirit, because our company is the division’s advance party, then and Xu officer to discuss, let him go to discuss with the doctor, and the big man and I, and also piggyback back, so that we can early re-entry into the revolutionary struggle in the torrent.

After Xu officer’s accommodation, the three of us will take the day to the military station to transport supplies trucks, along the highway into the Kunlun Mountain pass, halfway up and down the snow, the four below the Tongyun dense clouds, snow, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, as if the powder wall.

The world has no more adventurous occupation than driving on the two highways in Qinghai-Tibet-Chuan-Tibet, the sound of the anti-skid chain is alarming, the truck on the canvas and the front of the wind horse flag, hunter and shaker, the biting cold wind drilled into the car, the freezing cold, we had to squeeze together for warmth, water bottles in the water are frozen, teeth chattering, and easily to the “unfrozen springs! It was hard to get to the “Frozen Spring” and immediately ran to the stove to warm up.

Officer Xu is a southerner, although also considered good physical quality, but compared to our basic company soldiers’ physique, the body is still slightly thin, but this person and most of the young people of that era, his blood flows with an inexplicable power, slightly warmed up to some, and immediately opened up to me and the big man to take pictures.

We accept his favor, had to listen to him, I raised a book of Mao, in the fireplace posed as a serious reading, Officer Xu pressed the shutter, the flash, shook me almost dropped the book into the stove.

Officer Xu said to me, “Comrade Xiaohu, you don’t have to wait for the negative to be developed, judging from my experience, this photo must have been taken very well, because your look of studying Chairman Mao’s writings is very concentrated.”

I hastened to humbly say: “Once I study up, I can easily forget my personal existence, completely forgetting that I am taking a picture, the photo was taken well, that’s still because of your good photography skills.”

Big man in the side said: “Old Hu this modeling is really good, I also whole with him the same pose got, the future briefing, is not it possible to give us the whole tireless this comment?”

Officer Xu laughed, “That’s not appropriate, Mr. Lin has already used this word, and “Wasting sleep and food” has been used to describe Comrade Lei Feng, so I’ll see if I can use the word “Concentration” for the two of you, how about that?”

Just talking, our company’s commander came back, the commander is a veteran of the Sichuan army, he heard that the only two soldiers who survived our squad returned to the team, the wind and snow ran into the house, I and the big man hurriedly stood up, stand at attention, salute.

Company commander in each of our chest pounded two punches: “back on good, but unfortunately the instructor and the rest of your class comrades ……, forget …… not to mention it, you two hurry to go to dinner to eat, day his ancestors board board land, a moment there have to be Urgent task.” After saying that, he turned around and went out in a hurry.

I and the big man plus Xu officer, heard that there is an urgent task, have seen the company director of the hurried look, know what may have happened, now also inconvenient to inquire, had to hurry to eat, eat only to find that most of the advance team are not in, the original after we only, the advance team and sent out a number of small sub-divisions into the Kunlun Mountains, now the Frozen Springs station is an empty shell, not much manpower left.

I detected a tense atmosphere in the air, then asked the correspondent Chen Xing is how it is, it turns out that three days ago, the nearby mountains and an aftershock, there are two herdsmen in the mountain pass deserted Phoenix Temple in the snow, the earthquake made their cattle frightened, ran into the temple behind the temple, there is a stinking pool of water behind the temple, the pool of water seems to be the same as the Frozen Springs, even if the winter also does not freeze, watched the temple behind the pool of water, outstretched A big hand full of green hair, will that yak hard to tear into the water, they two busy rush over, want to pull the yak back, but pull up, that yak has become …… beef jerky, this before and after less than a few minutes of time, the cow is only left with the skin and dry meat, the herdsmen were scared all of a sudden, thought it was haunted, and came to report the The army.

Herders of the matter, the PLA can not ignore, at that time can be maneuvered some personnel, mixed into a squad, led by the two herders, to go to the great phoenix temple, to see what is really there in the socialist corners, when the wolf campaign carried out vigorously, all the animals endangering the herders, are among the beaten.

But these soldiers, went already two days and two nights, including the two herders, all whereabouts are unknown, communication is also interrupted, the Frozen Springs military station reported this to the higher-ups, aroused great concern, just now, made the following instructions, the imperialists will not stop dying for me, the situation of the class struggle is very complicated, perhaps the two herders reported the situation is fraudulent, they are in fact secret agents, especially our advance team in the Especially since our advance party in the Kunlun Mountains is on a highly sensitive mission, we must immediately send troops to meet them.

But there are not many people left in the station, but also leave some manpower to guard the supplies, other stations and distance is too far, a short period of time is difficult to receive, but the military order is like a mountain, the orders of superiors must be obeyed, the company commander has no choice but to let a person stand two people’s post, including the company commander himself, a total of only three people, counting the big man and I, and Officer Xu and a doctor also volunteered to go to catch the secret agents, and a Because of altitude sickness is relatively strong geochemist, also joined in, this is eight people, still feel the power is too thin, but there is no other way, it is too late to wait for the brother company reinforcements, so we set off.

Outside the snow is not slow, just out of the station, ran into an old lama, this old lama is a temple in the mountains, often come to the station, with ghee bar with the cook for some fine salt, the commander thought that this lama with the army relationship is good, and familiar with this area, why not let him lead the way.

The old lama heard that we are going to go to the great phoenix temple, suddenly ate a shock, the locals do not know, they have forgotten, but the old lama remembers, the great phoenix temple, qianlong years to repair, for the great mighty vajra’s treasure, but fifty years after the deserted, because that mountain pass, is thousands of years ago, “lead the country” of the king! “The world’s enemy of the precious pearl king (i.e. King Gesar)”, sealed a mysterious ancient tomb of the Devil’s Kingdom, is the forbidden land of the Tantric Buddhism.
