Chapter 69 The Yama Temple

In front of the building door on the ground soil, there is a trail extending to the back of the mountain, is someone dragging things left behind, “Hundred Eyes Cave” has a feng shui a rare natural environment, originally the grassland desert temperature difference between day and night is very great, but here is not obvious, the overall temperature and humidity are higher, in addition to the soil in the special ingredients, the body has a natural preservation effect, most of the dead bodies have turned into bird feather-like corpse hair, the world may not be able to find another place like this. In addition, the special composition of the soil has a kind of natural preservation effect on the corpse, most of the dead bodies have turned out bird feather-like corpse hair, the world may not be able to find out the second such a place.

It is because the soil is unique, the gap between the soil particles is larger, so the soil is more loose and soft, making the ground that drag marks are very obvious, we first went to the main building of the Institute, we have not seen this trace, needless to ask, must be the old sheepskin to the yellow skin copper box dragged into the mountain, although the copper box is not big, but to long time to hold walking or will be very strenuous, he is dragged and dragged, dragging the copper box into the hole of hiding the corpse! He was dragging and pulling the box into the cave to hide the corpse, God knows what he will do next.

Ding Si sweet all to the good, she thinks that maybe the old sheepskin is trying to find a place to destroy that dangerous soul summoning box, lest stay in the world as a problem, I saw the old sheepskin before, difficult to make a final conclusion, only said that I hope so, and then the three of them will be looking for that trace tracing up the mountain.

I and fat man hand numbness and itchy feeling gradually intolerable, but do not dare to scratch, a touch on the flow of water, pain and inhale, I am afraid of ding Si sweet worry or blame her for their own drag us, so did not dare to put on the body of this thing in the poison to her, had to force to endure, but really can not say to this situation, but also can adhere to the few hours.

However, I am most pleased to finally save the life of Ding Si-Tian back, see her body and spirit are much better, the pressure on my heart has also reduced a lot of shaking spirit into the research building after the hill, the hillside I do not know whether it is a landslide or artificial blasting operations, presenting a cross-section of the mountain, the belly of the mountain in the large and small holes are all exposed, there are huge stone people and stone beasts arching with the mouth of the cave in the kind of more than one! Cave in the most large, like a black hole in the mouth, want to enter the depths, this huge mouth like cave is the only channel.

We help each other to touch the cave, inside the ghost fire phosphorescence flashes, the scene is vaguely visible, but also not a dark, there is no fork in the hole, very high and very broad, the stone wall is cool, the deepest part of the hole is full of evil wind drums, so that people are hairy, in about two hundred paces away, there is a piece of the size of four or five soccer fields of the ladder-shaped deep caves, surrounded by the square earth platform layers down, was inverted gold tower, from the inside of the residual tools and lighting facilities to judge, this is a large scale and large scale, and the hole is a large hole, and it’s a huge hole. Judging from the various tools and lighting facilities left inside, this is a large-scale excavation site, but this area is really too big, I was worried about how to track the trail left by the old sheepskin, suddenly followed the body of Ting Si-Shuang next to me shook, vomited a mouthful of black blood, collapsed on the ground.

Ding Sitian suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood on the ground, Fatty and I panicked, hurriedly scrambled to help her sit against the wall, I thought she was poisoned by the Shougong incense has been suppressed, but who would have expected to vomit black blood, I was very uneasy in my heart, I guess it is not an overdose of medication? I wondered if it was an overdose of medicine, or if it didn’t work at all, but merely slowed down the onset of the poison.

And Ding Si sweet is struggling to get up to continue to go to the old sheepskin: “It’s okay …… I just a little stuffy heart, spit out this mouth of blood is to feel comfortable, rest a while on the all right, eight one, you and the little fat in the end to give me to eat what antidote to poison medicine? How do I feel the taste in my mouth ……” said the words and staggered to stand up to go forward.

I saw her barely support, it is difficult to judge her physical condition, can vomit black blood is by no means a good symptom, but Ding Sistern is very stubborn, I had to help her to continue to walk forward, was asked by her to give her to eat exactly what antidote, naturally do not dare to tell her honestly to eat is a large guardian specimen of the body of the meat pimples, and only said: “the good medicine is bitter and good for the disease, it is the medicine have three poisons, the medicine, of course, not as delicious as fruit candy, and this research institute is not as good as fruit candy, and this research institute is the best place for the medicine. Not as good as fruit candy, and this institute has been deserted for many years, although the drugs stored in the warehouse have not deteriorated, it is inevitable that there will be some odor, when we return to the pastoral area, I’ll tell you about the origin of this antidote, and I guarantee that you will find it interesting.”

Fatty said, “That’s right, assure Chairman Mao that you’ll find it interesting, so before you listen to Old Hu explain the story of the medicine, you’d better review Ostrovsky’s book ‘How Steel is Made’ once again, and be fully mentally prepared.”

I glared at the fat man, fortunately, Ding Sistern did not understand too much, but also thought that the fat man is to let her learn “Paul Kochagin” in the face of the disease of tenacity, and did not ask more questions, I saw her face like gold paper, walking very hard, but I know that even if I persuade her to stay in the outside of the cave to wait for is also in vain, the girl character is too stubborn, recognized one thing Will never be easy to turn back, so I had to let the fat man put her back, the three of us to the depths of the cave, looking for the missing old sheepskin.

The belly of the mountain everywhere there are flickering light, like ghost fire, like ore, through this many stars like bright light, we can roughly see the outline of this huge excavation site, was dug up layers of the ground in a stepped distribution, it is difficult to see what is the deepest in the outside, just leaning against the top of not a layer of loess are exposed some of the limbs of the dead, some show half of the head, some reveal an arm, are not yet dug out of the earth, almost all feathered. Dug out, almost all feathered, each body hair surplus movement, as if at any time will crawl out of the soil, see its corner, can already imagine this excavation site is like a mass grave before, buried an unknown number of ancient corpses.

Probably feng shui in the so-called “tortoise sleep place” is here, special soil composition so that the corpse produced a state similar to feathering, but what is the use of it? Fei Hua and failed to immortal solution to heaven, so many people are buried in good faith after death in this cave, I’m afraid it is also out of the ancient understanding of the laws of life and death and fear, they can not accept the fact that people can only live once, and hope that after death in other forms of life can be continued, so this is the Underworld and such a legend, if a person is really after death, to see their own dead body into such a strange appearance, and the body is dug up and dug up without any care. Being dug up without respect, but I do not know how it will feel.

Corpses of men, women, young and old, dressed bizarrely, are we have never seen before, today has seen too many strange corpses, originally our nerves to the dead are a little numb, but stood in front of ten thousand people to hide the corpse of the sealed soil excavation site, looking at the layers of countless zombies, or some of the fear of trembling heart, no wonder that the ghost of Yamen is eighteen layers of hell, the living to this will be scared of this will be scared of the living dead.

This is a big cave full of dead bodies, in addition to the three of us, there is no half of the shadow of the living, God knows the old sheepskin dragging the copper box ran here to do what, we estimate that the old sheepskin to go to this pile of dead in the pit of yellow earth is not much sense, probably along the cave to the deeper, then along the edge of the excavation site of the aisle, continue to go inside, the road while looking around anxiously, while greeting the old Sheepskin’s name, telling him to hurry back.

The fat man saw never saw anyone, the more anxious, he always subjectively think that the old sheepskin is treason, this cave is north-south, to the north across a plateau, is the border, so he asked me whether to take a political offensive, through the shouting propaganda to disintegrate the old sheepskin’s mentality, I think this cave is too big, we blind ride blindly looking for the past is not a way, why not according to the fat man said If the old sheepskin is hiding nearby, we may be able to persuade him to come out of the cave, so I nodded my head and agreed.

At that moment, the fat man shouted to the depths of the cave: “I say the old sheepskin, the fight is also based on the craft to eat, with us is an internal contradiction ah, you do not want to rely on the Soviet Union, do not want to make the people’s self-exclusion from the confused thing ah, that is a dead end ah …… Bozhilev betrayed Marxism, betrayed Leninism, also betrayed the October revolution, and also betrayed the Marxism. Leninism, also betrayed the October Revolution, Moscow in sad tears, the Monument to the Unknown Heroes is also in tears …… You do not want to two pieces of buttered bread to the end of the repair, stand on the wrong side of the line does not matter, you again stand over it is it …… ”

I really can’t listen to it, hurry to stop the fat man, this is all shouting what is a mess, the level is too low, I want to continue to propaganda policy for him on the old sheepskin, but was Ding Sishen dragged a hand, she pointed to the feet and said: “You see this has a down the road, the top has dragged the fresh traces left behind by the weight, the old sheepskin grandpa is not from this down to the depths of excavation field to go! I looked down and saw that it was just like the old sheepskin.

I looked down, indeed, as Ding Sistern said, excavation field, each corner, there are gentle stone slope, seven twisted and eight extended to the depths of the stone slope are paved with barricades, may be buried in the soil, each buried layer of the body to cover a section, and later dug out by the Japanese, the soil scattered in the broken soil and mud and stone padding full of this ramp, broken soil left traces of dragging things, the caves, the evil wind whistling, cool, whooshing! The air is very clear, if the traces left on the ramp for a long time, never as clear as now, indicating that the old sheepskin is likely to go down not long.

The three of us are anxious to find the old sheepskin back, and then as soon as possible to leave this nightmare “hundred eyes cave”, see finally have clues, are playing a little spirit, foraging for the stone road down, this time and in the pit outside to see the feeling of this hidden corpse hole and not the same, gradual low, almost close to the yellow soil cross-section of the corpses to move forward, that the rocky road bias have a good life narrow, the body From time to time, I rubbed against the arms and legs of the dead people who were stretched out from the earth, and the cold and lifeless touch made one’s nerves even more tense.

Even if it is fear and exhaustion, but no one proposed to give up, all hard to go down, fat man chest hanging engineer lighting tube in the front to explore the way, three people hand in hand slowly from the PanTuo like a stone road down a step a dab, see down and down, the middle of this road more and more dark, the deepest part of the deepest is like a huge strange mouth, looks like a gray piece of murky, but not all black, looks very unusual! Fatty said to us, “Why is this big pit where the dead are buried so deep? What do you think will be in the deepest part of the pit?”

Ding Sishen said, “Not a mound, here buried so many corpses, I’m afraid that the following is still countless corpses, here is simply a buried tens of thousands of people’s big grave ah, I do not know the old sheepskin grandpa to the depths of the big grave to do what ……” After she could not help but again for the She can not help but worry for the old sheepskin, want to speed up the pace, but the legs and feet are weak and do not listen to the call, if not by the fat man and I pulled, and almost fell.

I feel her hands are full of cold sweat, know that she is worried and is afraid, thought: “the Japanese devils of this excavation field is obviously in the depths of the dig, is not the layers of corpses there are important things underneath? Could it be that …… “I worry that this ten thousand people under the ancient mound will be the legendary scrape out the” burning wind “of hell, had to be cautious, so let the fat man and Ding Si sweet don’t rush, even rats out of the hole have to be first pinch count pinch count, so We also have to be more careful, walking slower more brain, carefully see everything here, in case of danger, or in and out of degrees.

Ding Si sweet very agree with my point of view, she asked me: “Your grandfather seems to be a Feng Shui gentleman before, you learned a lot of miscellaneous with him, this big grave in the corpse are dead and not rotten, is what you said Feng Shui reason right? They …… shouldn’t suddenly come to life, right?”

I knew that she was beating around the bush trying to get me to find her some reasons not to be afraid, so I said to her, “My grandfather’s set is all four olds, although in the last few years I’ve felt that there is some truth in the things he said, but still, you can’t be biased.” As far as I know, in addition to feng shui reasons, there are many other factors within, after the death of a person, by the action of bacteria, the body usually have to rot, but this kind of bacteria that make the dead body rot, need to survive in the temperature is suitable, and more humid environment, the climate is cold, or the weather is dry and hot, for example, the desert and the snowy mountains, there will not be this kind of bacteria exists, so the dry corpses of the desert and the snowy mountains of the icy corpses, will not be decay.

There are also man-made factors, such as the deceased into the convergence after death, the coffin of the wood is thick and sophisticated, the material is dense and impermeable to air, and then put lime and charcoal in the coffin to prevent moisture, the formation of a dry and constant temperature of the closed space, so that bacteria can not be active, the coffin of the body will not be easy to rot, may be turned into a dry corpse, and even the moisture still exists in the wet corpse, in addition to this, there are also some exceptions, such as death from cholera, or pre-life In addition, there are some exceptions, such as death from cholera, or suffering from disease, most of the water in the body has been lost before death, after death will quickly become a dry body, not easy to decay and dissipate, the shape of the dry body is shriveled, weighing more than half of the weight than the newly deceased, the skin wrinkled and contracted, usually in black and light brown, hair and nails may continue to grow.

The rarest to belong to the corpse wax, such as obese or fat corpses, was thrown into the river or buried in the saline soil, it is easy to form the corpse wax on the surface of the body, so that the dead body does not rot, because in the current, the corpse produced by the corruption of the body will be washed away by the water, the bacteria of corruption will also be taken away by the water, the body of the fat inside the body will turn into something like soap, and slippery and greasy, known as the ” If salt and alkali invade the body, it will also produce this kind of slippery body cream, and the body is wrapped by the body cream, so it is not easy to decompose.

I went to secondary school when I visited the Public Security Bureau of the body specimen exhibition, then as a kind of superstition to break the popular knowledge to visit, is with my grandfather Hu Guohua to see, he said that this exhibition, although enough popular science is also very reasonable, but not comprehensive, the world of people who do not decompose after death is too much, not such a small exhibition can be all inclusive, but my grandfather’s mouth of those special things, I naturally Do not dare to speak to Ding Si-Tian, only the memory of that science exhibition, according to the gourd said ladybird told her some, so that she does not have to worry about the grave of the dead will be the first corpse.

However, a person with normal imagination, it is easy to hear things to produce associations, the more to science, the more people will be associated with some feudal superstitious legends, especially the fat man anachronistically a mouthful of “ghosts”, always chattering about the ghost of Yamen rumors so evil, and now walk in the depths did not feel how, and do not see a ghostly shadow, not a hairy dead body zap. It’s just a pile of hairy dead bodies, what’s the big fucking deal, we are in the incineration room, we thought that there is a ghost, but in fact it is the old yellow skin ghosts, it seems that the ghosts are born from the heart, the mediocre self-trouble, we are armed with Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong thought of the mind, too much shouldn’t believe in the theory of that set of attention to the heart, this is a shame, is the world’s materialists shame, but why again and again, why fall into the trap, why? But why do they fall for it again and again? It seems that the lessons of history are not always a warning to future generations, which is the objective law of class struggle, not the will of man. ……

In the fat man’s to find excuses to excuse themselves in the babbling sound, we have walked around the circle to the end of the circling and falling stone road, there is a hole, to white round rubble pile sealing, above the sticker a lot of Eastern ghosts painted amulets, the Japs suspected that this hundred eyes cave is haunted, many places have a similar pressure ghost amulets, including that the strange construction of the incinerator, are for the purpose of warding off evil spirits, but the so-called haunted, maybe just haunted by yellow skins.

In front of this rubble wall has been peeled open, a very large hole is exposed in front of us, inside bubbling gray bright light, thought this big grave is already the bottom, who would have thought that there is a deeper space below, we did not dare to go in directly, shouted at the mouth of the old sheepskin a few times, to see the response is not allowed to see, but had to decide to go deeper, do not believe that this cave does not see the bottom.

Fatty is still the first to open the way, he carries the KangXi sword, while greeting the name of the old sheepskin, while a foot deep and shallow to walk in, I help Ding Sishen followed him, walked twenty steps, fat suddenly stopped, panicked whispered to us: “Old Hu, Sishen, just you two who said there is no ghosts to come? Too irresponsible, you see the front …… that …… what are those?”

I walked up a few steps, look forward, also feel the body goosebumps, secretly bad, such a large piece of ancient buildings and pavilions, this is in the end to what place? And those ancient buildings, there seems to be something else moving, could it be that it is a mistake to enter the Yama Temple.
