Chapter 117 In the Mouth of the Toad

“Zhenling Spectrum” on the relief, the highest place a glorious palace, moon city, corner tower, inner city, Dizhi monument, Que Tai, God wall, Pavilion, dedication of the temple, the spiritual platform and other buildings, behind the mountains and rivers are a distant view of the palace, there is no hill under the cornerstone, but a number of rainbow shadow of Xiaguang light, walking in the air smoke, surrounded by a dragon wrapped around the protection, revealing an extraordinary style of fairy pavilions. Transcendent fairy pavilion style.

And then the content of the next side, the performance of the Xuan Palace under the Divine Way, the Divine Way on both sides of the mountain range stretches, towering peaks, conveying a kind of Sen Ran Dangerous Ran of the situation, set off the air more majestic, this Divine Way should be called “Bug Valley” of the Valley of the streams and valleys.

Fatty saw and laughed: “dedicate the king old man want to do fairy want crazy, even the tomb are built like the Jade Emperor’s heavenly palace, but also fucking in the sky building, not as good as directly buried to the moon.”

Shirley Yang said, “the details of the inside of King Xian’s tomb, now there is no one knows, all the clues say that the king’s tomb in the water dragon halo, even if that water dragon halo and then magical, I don’t believe that there is a place in the world against the principles of physics, this Zhenling genealogy of the back of the carvings, it must have gone through the art of processing, or another finger. ”

I said to Shirley Yang and the fat man: “the so-called water dragon, but is to refer to the flow of waterfalls, that kind of halo, is the water rises, the neon rainbow produced, there is a tangible and no quality, so by the ancients regarded as a bridge of immortals, it is impossible to build buildings on it, we see the carving of this palace, it should not be the king’s tomb, but the king’s tomb of the ground sacrificial facilities, called the bright building, according to the Qin and Han systems, the underground palace of the king’s tomb should be below ten feet below the ground level of this Minglou, and this tradition has been preserved until the end of the Qing Dynasty.”

Shirley Yang asked me, “If it is a sacrificial facility Ming Lou, that is to say, after the death of King Xian, every certain period of time, there will be people going into the Ming Lou to hold the ceremony of worship, but according to the record on the human skin map, all around the King’s Tomb, the poisonous miasma that does not dissipate for a long time was set up, and outsiders can’t get in, so where did the people who worshipped King Xian get in, does it mean that there is also a secret passage that can pass through the poisonous miasma? a secret path that can pass through the poisonous miasma.”

There are no more than two reasons for the miasma in the valley, one is due to the topography of the terrain, deep mountains and secluded valleys, the air does not circulate, the concentration of dampness nourished by these plants is too large, coupled with the various animals that died inside, the rotting corpse gas is mixed in, it will produce a toxic miasma.

There is another, may be in the king’s tomb is completed, dedicated to the king into the convergence, artificial set up miasma, the use of “worm valley” in the concave topography, in the depths of the ventilation is not the place, planting special plants, these plants itself is poisonous, so that the formation of a barrier to defend the King’s Tomb, but not necessarily planting poisonous plants, it is said that the “worm valley”, the air is not circulated, these plants breeding moisture concentration is too large, plus the rotting of various animals inside, mixed with them, will produce toxic miasma. It is said that the depths of the “Valley of Worms” were not ventilated, and during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the technology of extracting mercury from sclerosene sulfide was already very mature, and it is possible that a large amount of mercury was placed in the vicinity of the tomb, and the mercury volatilized and formed a poisonous substance in the air over a long period of time. The craftsmen who built “King Xian’s Tomb” have another way.

Three people discussed, and took out the blind man that “human skin map” for comparison, found that “human skin map” than “Zhenling spectrum” is missing a little something, “Zhenling spectrum”, “Zhenling spectrum” is missing a little something, “Zhenling spectrum” is missing a little something, “Zhenling spectrum” is missing a little something, “Zhenling spectrum” is missing a little something. “Zhenling Spectrum” on the back of the stone carving, in a place in the valley, carved with a strange drag-net mouth toad, toad mouth wide open, close to the “King Xian’s Tomb” place, there is also a symmetrical toad ����������, the same open mouth.

In the “human skin map”, there is only this one toad in the valley, and the mouth of this toad is closed. The person who drew the “human skin map” for King Dian knew nothing about the situation after the miasma fog, and only roughly standardized some features of the periphery. “Obviously, the situation inside the Tomb of King Xian belongs to the absolute secret, not everyone can know.

This small difference, if you do not pay attention to see, it is difficult to notice, because the “Zhenling spectrum” and “human skin map”, there are a lot of various kinds of rare birds and exotic animals, these animals do not necessarily exist in the “King Xian’s Tomb These animals do not necessarily exist in the vicinity of the “Tomb of King Xian”, some of them are just symbolically drawn on it, which has something to do with the worldview of the people in ancient times, just as some ancient maps use dragons to represent the rivers, and tortoises to represent the majestic mountain peaks.

However, this toad is very inconspicuous, said the toad does not seem to be accurate, although the shape of the elephant, but the posture is absolutely not like, the face is very repulsive, the abdomen is rounded, the lower limbs on the ground, the forefinger to do the push the door, raised in front of the chest, raised his head, his eyes glaring, as if the death is not meditative eyes, the nose upturned to the sky, a strange mouth, so large that it is simply disproportionate to the body.

I pointed to the toad on the “Zhenling Spectrum” and said: “This inside and outside the two toads are completely symmetrical, the whole map, symmetrical place inside and outside the valley, there is only this one, is probably the sacrifice, from the underground through the poisonous miasma of the passageway, the toad’s strange mouth, it should be the main door, the map on the skin of the human body is only standardized to have one! , that’s because the person who drew the map doesn’t know the situation inside, we just need to find this place in the bug valley, then we can enter the deeper Consecrated King’s Tomb.”

Shirley Yang agreed with my judgment, while Fatty didn’t understand at all, so he had to follow and listen to Drinker is, we repeated several times in the map to confirm, as long as we can find that stream valley, we will have the certainty to find this toad that may hide a secret passage, as for whether it is a stone statue, or a location of something else, we will know when we find that place.

We got down from the back of the Peppercorns, looked back and looked around, the surrounding area is a mess, the two fallen trees, broken jade coffins, the wreckage of the C-type transporter, there is the “Chicago typewriter” shot into a rag like a large eagle owl, the most is the body of countless corpses and bones in the tree.

Fatty kicked the dead body of the eagle owl on the ground: “Broken, or plucked and roasted, today’s lunch is even there.”

I said to Fatty: “Forget about that dead bird for now, go back to the cabin wreckage and see if there are any more usable guns and ammunition, collect them all and bring some with us when we leave, there are too many beasts of all sorts in this forest, and I’m afraid we can’t cope with fewer bullets.”

The wreckage of the C-type transporter fell from the tree, it had fallen completely apart, Fatty peeled off the broken aluminum shell, rummaging around inside, looking for things that could still be used.

The code of the ghost signal is where exactly, I’m afraid that can not be confirmed, a dark night in the jungle happened in the jungle, a variety of factors have a great impact on human judgment, things in the dark, who can tell, I prefer to believe that the American pilot’s spirit is giving us a warning.

However, there is a special thing that attracted our attention, is that this pilot body wearing clothing markings, belongs to the bomber formation, not transport aircraft, in addition he was after a piece of white cloth has been spoiled, written on it: the United States Air Force, to China to help the war, the military and civilian population, as one to assist.

This shows that he is not a member of this C-type transport aircraft, this area of the complex climate, due to the high mountain basin drop too large, the airflow pressure is extremely unstable, but can indeed be said to be a piece of aircraft graveyard, there should be the rest of the crashed planes in the vicinity, and this survivor in the out of the jungle, became a victim of the jade coffin, perhaps in our next trip, we will also encounter the rest of the aircraft wreckage.

So I used the engineer shovel to dig a pit in the ground, want to bury the pilot’s body, but found that the ground here is too wet, digging not a few times is full of plant roots, and on the kilogram count of bug eggs, white extremely nauseating, the environment is really too special, although in the subtropics, but closer to the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Cancer, the tropical rainforest, north of the Tropic of Cancer, the “Lancang River” and the “Lancang River”. Lancang River” and “Nujiang” water system, constantly washing this piece of low-lying land, abundant groundwater resources, and hot and humid environment without wind, resulting in a large number of plant reproduction, the underground is full of coarse roots of various plants, is not suitable for burying people, no wonder that the priests buried in the tree.

Shirley Yang and I discussed, decided to temporarily use the wreckage of the cabin of that C-type transport aircraft as a coffin, his bones temporarily stored in it, and then notify their people to pick up back to the country after going back.

At this time the fat man has picked up three or four intact Thompson submachine gun, there are more than ten magazines and drums, now all help, the American’s bones with a thin blanket rolled up, stuffed into the cabin inside, and then as far as possible, the gap in the hull with a stone to plug.

Shirley Yang tied a cross with a tree branch and erected it in front of the wreckage of the C-type transport plane. We stood in front of the cross, and Shirley Yang took out the Bible and recited a few words, hoping that the American airman who sacrificed his life for human freedom would rest in peace.

This situation reminds me of the front line, in the face of the remains of fallen comrades, suddenly felt a little sour nose, hastily blinked hard, looked up at the sky.

Fatty suddenly took two steps forward and said, “Rest in peace, dear friend, I understand your unfinished wish. We have the burden of the glorious post-war construction to bear. Rest in peace, dear friend, the white clouds and blue sky compose hymns for you, and the tops of the green peaks pass garlands of flowers for you. The mountains full of flowers and bloody grass tell us that here lies a martyr in eternal rest.”

I have always been unable to do anything about the fat man’s words and actions, crying and laughing, and seeing that it was nearly noon, and that if we delayed any longer we would not be able to reach the entrance of the stream valley again to-day, I greeted them as they moved to set out on their journey.

Although the Thompson submachine gun’s self-weight is very large, but after this long night, we fully appreciate, in the jungle the importance of submachine guns, in addition to Shirley Yang is not used to this typewriter, I and fat man each picked a, “Jian Wei” and the remaining a six-four pistol, it is temporarily by Shirley Yang Shirley Yang will temporarily use the “Jianwei” and the remaining Type 6-4 pistol, bring as many magazines and drums as you can, and bring the black waterproof plastic bags used to encapsulate the firearms with you as well.

We continue along the “Chalong Mountain” forward, while walking and eat some dry food to fill up the hunger, today’s section of the trip, relatively easy, learned from yesterday’s lesson, try to choose the slopes close to the mountain range to walk, the mountains and forests connected to the part of the plant than the jungle depths sparse quite a lot, due to the density of the moderate, is like a natural air filter purifier, neither the jungle and the forest, but also the forest. Air filtration purifier, neither the jungle’s damp and hot, nor the mountain altitude is too high to produce the stifling cold, a burst of flowers and trees of the fragrance into the heart, people feel refreshed, the mind for the clear, a day and a night in the sleepiness, it seems to be not very obvious.

So to the northwest for four or five hours of travel, see a large number of flowers, red, white and yellow flowers, are the size of a bowl, countless large butterflies dance, there is a not small stream from the flowers in the bushes, the depths of a “forest on the forest”, that is, the trees are tall, this large trees are concentrated together, higher than the nearby plants obviously half, so it is called “forest on the forest”. Half, so it is called “forest on the forest”, this meandering stream may be the local people say “Snake Crawler River”, Snake River water system in the area, are concentrated in the ground, the surface of only a stream.

The stream flows through the flowers and trees, through a large “forest on the forest”, into the deep valley in the distance, due to the dense vegetation, undulating terrain, with binoculars can not see the situation inside the valley, I took out the human skin map, looking for nearby references, to confirm that there is no error, this is the “Valley of the Worms! “After this section, with the terrain getting lower and lower, the water flow will gradually increase, there is a part of the construction of the “Tomb of King Xian” left behind by the dam, and here on the ground, although overgrown, most of them are completely covered by low plants, but you can still see some fragments of bricks and tiles, should be the remains of the King’s Tomb Shinto Road. It should be the remnants of the Tomb of the King’s Shinto path.

We see finally to the “worm valley”, can not help but spirit for a boost, speed up the pace forward, ready to the remains of the embankment wall near the camp rest, walk into the flower trees, the first time these low flower trees, all colors of flowers scramble to open, colorful, endless beautiful purple and red, and in the depths of the bushes, is a color of all the red flowers Red leaves, as far as the eye can see, such as a huge cloud of fire, swarms of golden cockatoo butterflies shuttle in the red flowers.

Here is really fairy-like place, compared to not far away, we spent the night of that gloomy jungle, is simply two worlds, the fat man said: “Unfortunately, the two insect nets don’t know where to go, otherwise we catch a few hundred butterflies, take back to Beijing to do the specimen sold, but also can earn a lot of money, it seems that the world to money a lot of road, just don’t come out to see the city to stay and how can you think of. I just don’t want to come out and see it, but I’m staying in the city, so how can I think about it?”

Shirley Yang said: “These red flowers and red leaves of the flower tree, called “¥琞琞蕨”, its formation time in the Tertiary period before, tens of millions of years ago. The same generation of organisms in the vicissitudes of the great changes in the basic extinction, such as dinosaurs have long been fossilized, “¥琞琞琞蕨” has become a relict plant. It mainly grows in the dark, cool dense forest, these exotic butterflies are only found in this neighborhood, I’m afraid, you catch hundreds at a time, is not to let this rare money butterfly and “¥琞蕨”, together with the extinction of the fern.”

Fatty said angrily: “really, you this person is like to give others lessons, I just say in passing, really let the fat master to catch butterflies, I still can not resist that sex it, small butterflies casually catch is gone, which is not as good as pouring bucket to the benefit of a piece of artifacts will be enough for half a lifetime to eat, drink and enjoy.”

The three of them were talking and walking among the flowers and trees, looking for the remains of the ancient sacred path, and came to the area where the flowers and trees meet the forest, here is the entrance of the “Bug Valley”, with the gradual approach to the “Tomb of the King of Consecration”, more and more relics of the ancient times.

The entrance of the valley seems to be very incongruous with the surrounding environment, with two bare rocky mountains, which are very eye-catching in the near distance, only that this place is located at the back of the “forest on the forest”, and if you look from the outside, your sight is blocked by the tall trees, and you can’t see the bare rocky mountains inside at all, and you can’t see the bare rocky mountains inside only if you walk to the entrance of the “Valley of Worms” yourself. “The entrance to the Valley of Worms, will see, who did not expect such a dense jungle, there are so two pieces of grass does not grow in the huge mountain rocks, so it gives people a very abrupt feeling.

We raised our eyes to see, we feel that these two stones like something, and then take a closer look, the stone each with black pigment painted with an eye, but not 雮 beads that kind of eyeball modeling, but with eyelashes of the eyes, the gaze of the deep majestic, although the composition of the rough, but extremely evocative, is it a foreshadowing of the dead king of dedication is using his eyes, watching everyone who dares to enter this valley.

Shirley Yang walked closer to look at the rock, turned her head to us and said, “This is a meteorite split in two, most of the crashes in the neighborhood are related to it.”
