Chapter 47 – The Turtle Sleeping Ground
Fatty said, “Isn’t that easy? Take a knife and chop off his head, if you’re still unsure, then cut it into pieces and throw it into the sewer.” The old sheepskin said: “In Shaanxi found zombies must be burned with fire, burning zombies must be covered with fishing nets before, lest the brake into the ground as a ghost.”
I said to the old sheepskin: “in the northeastern mountains also have a similar saying, but that is to say that the hanging ghosts, where the hanged person’s place, digging the ground for three feet, will be able to send out a section of black material shaped like coal, that is, hanged people dying before leaving a mouthful of grievances, if you do not dig out sooner or later will be for the evil evil harm, but I have not seen it with my own eyes.”
No one wants to become like this after death, will produce necrophilia zombie destruction of the corpse, in people in their own favor, but as for what kind of method to destroy the corpse, is it burning or crushed corpse? As well as this body will become so bizarre and hideous, even the upper half of the body raw bird feathers, the lower half of the body raw animal hair? Do not understand the reason, I do not want to immediately act rashly.
As far as I know, a place to appear zombies, there are several reasons, first of all, feng shui variation, people die after the corpse gas can not be dissipated, day long rich for the withered wax; secondly, in order to embalm the dying, self-service chronic poisons, or after the death of the infusion of wax injection of mercury, mercury in the body of the zombie, there will be a large area of black esoteric on the corpse, if it is to the folk of the secret recipe circulated in the living to take arsenic, lead and mercury mixture of things, the body will be moldy! There is also a kind of electrical effect, the surface of the body is dead but not decayed, in case of bioelectricity or lightning strikes and rise, chasing and pouncing on the living people.
These three are the most common reasons, there are some relatively rare and rare phenomena, such as the body for the spirit of the attachment, or cause of death is strange, and in the feng shui environment unique place, will also let the dead body for a long time does not decompose, skin and flesh as alive, but that kind of heavenly blessing like feng shui auspicious soil is too rare.
I pulled out the “sixteen words of yin and yang feng shui secret art” flipped, found a “turtle sleep of the land” of the legend, the book records, when someone in the sea, see the sea suddenly floated out of a black mountain, and then a closer look, it turned out to be dozens of old tortoises, carrying a dead giant tortoise from the sea and out of the sea, these old tortoises to the dead tortoises pack to a cave under the cliffs Hidden well, which then left one after another to swim back to the sea, secretly saw all of this person, good at the art of choosing a cave, know that this cave is the four spirit of the bell, the cave “dragon gas”, it happened to be his family had ancestors deceased, so he explored the situation in the cave turtle corpse, their ancestors without a coffin buried naked into which, since then this person Since then, the person soared to great heights, leveling the playing field, achieved a dominant position, the turtle sleeps in the hole later became his family’s clan’s special tomb, hundreds of years after the dragon has been exhausted, the ground collapsed, revealing countless corpses, the locals scrambled to watch, all the corpses were born with bird feathers and scales of the dragon, was blown by the sea wind for a day and a night, all the bodies at the same time into nothing.
When I saw this record, I was quite unimpressed, and did not pay too much attention to it, but saw this basement zombies born with bird feathers is the same as the “sixteen words of yin and yang feng shui secret art” in the same, the heart also feel horrified, and many years later I know the truth, it turns out that there are certain environmental special places, there is a kind of nourishment to keep the body of the body of the micro-organisms that do not decompose, but a long time will make the body produce mutations, and in this kind of places to fold the root! Branch inserted in the ground, the leaves on the branch can not wither for several months, in ancient times, such areas were Feng Shui as “auspicious soil”, there are countless people spend their lives, trekking all over the thousands of mountains, just to seek such a piece of Feng Shui land, but can not be obtained.
The old sheepskin and fat man see me turning over a broken book, half a day did not make up their minds, they asked me one by one, I will be “sixteen words of yin and yang feng shui secret art” closed and said: “I am also anxious to learn to use, live to learn to live, there is no great certainty that the reason why this zombie will become so, it is likely to be related to the underground environment, we have no nets, there is also no black donkey hooves, but we have a bedsheets, and would like to get rid of it can only wrap it up and burn it by pouring foreign wine on it.” At that moment with the old sheepskin and fat man, three people find some cloth will mask the mouth and nose, hands are also wrapped with cloth, and from the bed in the room pull down the bedspread, the Russian zombie on the wooden chair wrapped, dragged into the sewer.
I let the fat man to bring a few bottles of foreign wine, we do not know if this is the Russians like to drink the Wotoga, but the nature of the wine is indeed very strong, touched the mouth of the bottle, the wine are splashed on the body, I am afraid that not enough to pour the wine burned thoroughly, want to pour the rest of the bottles are also poured on the fat man distressed to hasten to discourage: “Old Hu we can be frugal to make a revolution ah, to be thrifty and frugal to do all the business, almost just to get. .”
I had to do, with the hands of the torch ignited the body, the fire miso up more than one person high, burned with the sound of peeling, the fire was wrapped in the light of the body was burned to the sinews and bones convulsions, as if suddenly become alive, as well as heartbreaking, we frowned stiffly staring at that burned for a long time will only be a section of the body burned to a charcoal, it seems to want to completely burned is almost impossible, unless it is towed to the incineration room, with a big It seemed almost impossible to burn it completely, unless it was dragged to the incinerator room and extinguished with a big fire, but it had burned to this extent, and it was almost done.
We returned to the Russian’s room, Ding Si-Tian had already read out most of the contents of the suicide note, we only lit one candle in order to save the light source, the four of us sat around the candle in front of the table, the fat man poured a glass of wine for each person, at this time, everyone’s mental state and physical strength has been close to the limit, although this room is by no means a good place, but compared to incinerator room and sewer, it has been like a paradise, we need to take this opportunity to rest a little bit. We need to take this opportunity to rest and recuperate, and grasp some important information about the Hundred Eyes Cave before we can formulate a plan to get out of this place.
I said to Ding Si-Tian: “Eat quickly burns the mouth, walk quickly falls, we now have no clue how to act, so what to do is not to be in a hurry, you give us a careful explanation, this Russian in the death of what actually wrote, the content of which may not be useful to us.”
Ding Sishen fixed his mind, through the light of the candle to look at the pages of paper, she can read the part of a little bit of translation to us to listen to, but some of the content is really can not read, also had to temporarily jump over regardless of the record is probably this:
Japanese Kwantung Army a squadron in Hulunbeier close to the desert north of the region mysteriously disappeared, with the search work, reconnaissance troops in the vicinity of the hundred-eyed cave found some mysterious supernatural phenomena, hundred-eyed cave is located in the desert and the grasslands of a hilly area between the geographic location and the environment is extremely special, not only the interior of the forests are dense, and passes are often missing people and animals, and there are many legends where they witnessed the existence of dragons. There are also many legends that people have witnessed the existence of dragons there.
At that time, Japan and Germany were on the same front, and the Nazis had always believed in mysticism. The Germans knew about this mysterious phenomenon in the Manchurian League area from a certain channel, and provided some technical support to the Kwangtung Army in the hope that the Army could thoroughly investigate the matter and unravel the root of this mysterious phenomenon.
At that time, the strength of the Japanese army, already difficult to cope with too long a front, is starting to prepare the world’s largest bacteriological warfare research institutions, that is, in later times in the infamous anti-epidemic water supply unit, the Russian who wrote this suicide note is a descendant of the czar, and later exiled in Germany, he is not only in the field of medicine is unique, the same is also a bacteriological experts, perennial house arrest by the Germans, and then the Nazi secondment to the Later, he was seconded by the Nazis to the Wave Research Institute under the “Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department”, and was forced to assist in a secret research in the Hundred Eyes Cave.
Japanese in the process of investigating the Hundred Eyes Cave, dug a huge cave from the ground, the bottom of the cave layers stacked, there are many well-preserved ancient corpses, corpses are too many, seems to never finish digging, the highest part of the head mask with a bizarre attire of the female body is particularly prominent, after an expert survey and comparison with the ancient books, came to an alarming conclusion, this is the legend of the Han Dynasty of the great Xianbei witch in the witch divination flourished, this is a woman who was a demigod. Period, this is a semi-deified characters, she buried the bones of the place of the dragon gas, and the Xing’anling mountain Kaxian hole, also regarded as a sacred place by the Xianbei people, often held in the cave buried stone sacrificial ceremony, in the Xianbei people’s legend, weasel is the netherworld of the god of death, the hidden body of the cave, but also is the entrance to hell.
The so-called “dragon gas” only in the Baiye Cave’s mountain pass only, it is invisible, sometimes, elusive, can devour all human animals and beasts, only in the cloudy four times the thunder and lightning, you can see the mountain pass near the black dragon-shaped shadow rolling in the clouds, the Japanese believe that this is the year when the monk Jianzhen east, spread to Japan Japan’s Buddhist scriptures recorded in the “burning wind”, this gust of wind like evil spirits, from the hell in the blowing out of the Abyss, was blown to the living creatures, will immediately turn into ashes, if you can master the use of this “burning wind”, will be a powerful destructive force of the weapon.
But human beings in front of the natural phenomenon is too small and powerless, it is impossible to grasp the mystery, but for the Xianbei female corpses even if exposed to the air will not decay the phenomenon, but in the field of bacteriological research, so in the mountains established such a half-earth, half-underground secret research facilities, research institutes breeding a large number of rats and centipedes and other highly poisonous things, then in the Pacific theater of operations Japanese troops fighting in the tropical theater of operations, many people were injured by the jungle poisonous insects and poisonous insects, so the Institute to take advantage of the unique natural environment here, but also established a special cultivation of tropical poisons in the test area, the use of the soil in the cave of the body of the special ingredients in the antidote test.
After the completion of the Institute, with the excavation of the depth, more and more strange-shaped bodies were unearthed from the hidden corpse cave, the 100-eyed cave suddenly haunted, a night to see around the ghost fire flashes, daytime began to fog, the hillside clouds variable, which is hidden such as the shape of the palace, a little close to it, lush, and as smoke and hut, all the elephant Tunchen, and then look at it, and then all nowhere to be found.
Institute of the Japanese panicked, because the phenomenon of ghost market in Japan, thought the hidden corpse hole in the ghosts are released, so from the mainland to find a yin and yang master, in accordance with his instructions in the interior of a research building, the construction of a hidden semi-underground incinerator, all the rooms and windows are closed, only a few exit portals also have special requirements, and then from the hidden corpse hole dug out of a large number of corpses, are sent into the incinerator, and the body of a large number of people. Are sent into the incinerator to burn, they think this can suppress the spirits of the dead in the cave, but also did play some role.
The Russian who wrote the will, lived in the basement all day, only when he needed to work in the field, he would let him out of the basement, the Japanese knew that even if he escaped back to the Soviet Union, he would have to be shot, so his custody was not very strict, but his personal freedom was still very restricted, he later became acquainted with a Japanese medical officer with anti-war sentiments, and with the assistance of that medical officer, he learned about the outside world, and learned that Japan had lost the war and was now a dead country. He learned that Japan’s defeat was a foregone conclusion, and planned to escape from this devil’s den. The medical officer provided him with a map and all the items he needed to escape, and when everything was ready, he secretly dug a tunnel to get out through the sewers, but ended up digging at the wrong angle, and failed to bypass the iron gates, and just as he was about to dig again, a couple of hu-bandits from the Northeast region, transported a freshly unearthed copper box, and that night the entire institute The alarm was raised.
The Russian who wrote this suicide note had a terrible premonition, after the alarm, there was no movement outside, he was locked in the basement alone and could not get out, do not know what happened outside, want to dig new tunnels to escape when he found that his life is about to come to an end, so he wrote his own experience, hoping that someone can see this letter, that the box is extremely dangerous ……
The will was written to here Kashian stop, even the date of the inscription could not be left, obviously the Russian wrote to this died, we do not even know his name, can only speculate that the time is likely to be the Soviet army out of the eve of the attack on the Kwangtung Army, so after the sudden incident, this secret research institute and did not have time to be destroyed by the Kwangtung Army.
As for what is contained in that copper box, and where does its danger come from? What exactly did this Russian encounter before his death? We currently have no way of knowing, but he left behind the escape supplies, is what we desperately need, especially the suicide note mentioned in the Institute of the map, in addition to his suicide note also solved many of the mysteries in our hearts, but one of the Russians know limited, the second to Ding Sishen translation is not comprehensive, the Institute of the Institute inside there are still many secrets that we can not be known.
At this time, four people drank some spirits, coupled with the body sleepy, are not want to move, would like to rest for a while, to find the Russian map and tools, and then as soon as possible to escape from this, but ding Sis-Tian and others are really too tired, not long, will be lying on the table in a deep sleep, the old sheepskin and the fat man is snoring loudly, I would like to wake them up, but I also feel the whole body aching and sleepy, upper and lower eyelids have started to fight, knowing that now is not the time for a good fight. Began to fight, know that now is not the time to sleep, but they persuade themselves, thinking in this institute stayed overnight, even if there are any bacteria and viruses here, the infection has long been infected, afraid of useless, now the body is almost to the limit, if you do not rest for a while, and then what is surely difficult to cope with, so I made up my mind, tightly holding the KangXi treasure knife, put the heart of the cross, lie down on the table and slept.
This sleep sleep seven faint, I do not know how long, I woke up violently, the long candles on the table has long been out, the indoor darkness is boundless, I just moved, I feel that the elbow brushed against something on the table, subconsciously touch with my hand, it seems to be that the Russian zombie that has been burned into charcoal lying on the table.
