Chapter 118: The Forbidden Thread
I asked Shirley Yang: “I see these two stones poking here, although they appear to be wooded, while the rock itself is nothing special, if it is a meteorite and exposed, then there should be a crater here, you see where there are any traces of being impacted by a meteorite in this neighborhood.”
Shirley Yang looked at her watch again, and said to me, “Look at the diving electronic wristwatch you are wearing on your wrist, there is no time display now, there are a lot of crystals on this stone, and I estimate that it contains some kind of rare gases, as well as the cosmic element of 寉, the electronic circuitry transistors and the radio equipment, are all affected by it, and probably the nearby plane crashes Comparatively more, is related to these two meteorites, off course airplanes, once close to the airspace over this area, all electronic equipment will malfunction, this place is simply like the Hundred Curtains Triangle in Yunnan.”
Fatty and I both raised our hands to look at their own watches, really are a piece of gray crystalline rock, all the data all disappeared, as if the battery is drained, I went to that mountain rock close to watch, really there are many less obvious crystals on it, I have been doing a number of years of engineers, the adult in the Kunlun Mountains digging holes, the Kunlun Mountains belongs to the stacked shape geological structure, almost all kinds of rock formations, so most of the rock I know, but this kind of gray crystalline mineral rock, I know, but I don’t know, but I don’t know, but I don’t know. But this gray crystalline mineral rock, I have never seen, looks like a meteorite.
The fat man is still a little unconvinced, but we do not have any extra electronic products, they pulled out a radio from the backpack, that I brought on the road to listen to the news broadcasts with, due to the mountains, there is no signal, so has been pressed in the bottom of the bag, this time out, just turn on the switch, and immediately “bared la bared la” out of the noise, and then how to toss and turn, it is not a good idea, but it is a good idea, it is a good idea. Afterwards, no matter how much I tossed and turned, there was no more movement.
And then look at the flashlight and other equipment, due to the use of dry cell power generation, so there is no effect, the fat man wondered: “really fucking strange, there is this kind of stone, I do not know how much the international transaction price of one or two, we first collect some back to the study.” Said pick up the mountaineering pickaxe, would like to get their hands on the rock to knock a few samples down.
I hastily blocked, said to the fat man: “Do not move, in case there is radiation how to do, I seem to remember where I read, meteorites have radioactive substances inside, was radiated first hair loss, and finally the whole body rot and die.”
Shirley Yang said at the side, “Not all meteorites have radioactive substances, this one may have some kind of electromagnetic energy inside, that’s why it has serious interference with electronic equipment, this meteorite may not have fallen here, but later moved to the mouth of the valley as a sign of the entrance to the King’s Tomb, in fact, it is extremely rare to find a large meteorite that can fall to the ground, the United States has a large The remains of the meteorite crater, falling meteorites, must be with the horizontal tangent of the atmosphere at an angle of six-point-five degrees, otherwise it will be due to friction, excessive combustion, disappearing into ash, these two stones, just after the combustion of the remaining a little residue, the surface of the crystalline material is the formation of intense combustion, here, although there is not an inch of grass, but there are activities around the insects and ants, so it may be harmless to the human body, however, in the unknown actually situation, I advise you to better not touch it.”
Fatty still wasn’t quite willing, but after all, he had already gotten a few pieces of genuine antiquities from the old banyan tree, so he let it go and threatened to come back to this insect valley to quarry stone heads in the future when he couldn’t make a living.
We stood at the mouth of the valley, and then aimed at the two painted “human eye” stone examined some, originally wanted to camp here tonight to rest, tomorrow morning to move into the depths of the valley, to find the entrance marked by the toad, but how to see how to feel that this place is not right, standing at the entrance to the valley, I feel that by the eyes staring at the eyes, can not help but a little uncomfortable, but the “Valley of the Worms”, but the “Valley of the Worms” has already got a few real antiques. Comfortable, but the situation in the “Valley of the Worms” is not clear, if we go further, I do not know what will run into, so we had to return to the original way, to the piece of red flowers near the bushes to set up a meal.
Since the raft into the “dragon mountain” until now, the three of us in addition to the fat man slept more than half of the night, have not had a good rest for two days and one night, this time has been exhausted, and chose a more secluded and open place, camped on the ground.
This nearby insects and ants are not much, and there are flowers and trees fragrance, is indeed a camping camping place, we all know that tomorrow, there will inevitably be a lot of life-affirming hooks, tonight is the last chance to rest, must be through enough sleep, the physical and mental state to recover to the best state, so casually ate some from the colorful clouds inn to buy beef and dry food, hurriedly eat and eat, leaving the fat man on the first shift of the post! The first shift, take turns into the sleeping bag to sleep, because last night in the forest shot a big eagle owl, eagle owl is a kind of vengeful animal, close to dawn, there have been a few to attack us, but due to the dawn, they are not accustomed to the daytime activities, so temporarily retired, not allowed to say when, look at the cold, will come back to retaliate, so this night watchman is a must have.
At night I suddenly felt a numbness in my hand, itchy, itchy, itch is in the mountains by the piranha bites in the hand was, all of a sudden from the sleeping bag sat up, reached out and touched the back of the hand, originally tied with waterproof tape, the tape has broken a mouth, a black � bugs, from the wound crawled out, I hurriedly pinched two, and the bugs more and more, I was shocked, I would like to look for someone to help! When I looked up, I saw that the surroundings were quiet, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the fat man and Shirley Yang were missing, and the sleeping bags were all empty.
Suddenly the nearby flower bushes a loud, an old man covered in green robes, head wearing a gold mask, riding on top of an elephant, through the red flower bushes, rushing towards me, he came aggressively, I hastily roll away to dodge, suddenly felt someone pushing my shoulders, I opened my eyes, turned out to be a nightmare.
Shirley Yang was watching me from the side: “You’re in a panic, dreaming again?”
My whole body’s clothes were penetrated by cold sweat, this dream was also too real, nodded to Shirley Yang, it seems that it’s my turn to keep watch, strange, I just dreamed in my nightmare that the person wearing a mask was King Xian? I wouldn’t have felt it in my dream, but the itchy and painful pain in that wound was still vaguely present when I woke up, thinking of this, I suddenly felt the wound on the back of my hand tighten and throb with pain.
If the wound is healing, gradually grow new flesh, should be slightly itchy, it seems that this wound is serious again, I uncovered the tape, only to see the back of the hand a slightly purple, has been playing antibiotics, it should not be infected, but the wound seems to be a little wider than the beginning, I had to change their own medicine, the back of the hand to re-dressing, and pondered in my heart, could it be that those saber-toothed piranhas, ate the human figurines in the “Water swine bee”, the “痋毒” contaminated to me, think of that “痋术” of the disgusting, the heart can not help but seven up and down, I can only try to make myself to the good side of the thought, I can not think of the good side of the thought, I can only think of the good side of the thought. I had to try to think on the bright side and brace myself for the night.
But then the more I thought about it, the more worried I felt, I’m afraid I can’t keep this hand, in case a few bugs really crawled out of it, I’d really rather cut off this hand in advance, and after half a day’s thought struggle, I had to go to Shirley Yang, who had just gone to sleep, and wake her up, so that she could help to see whether or not I had been poisoned by the “Mistletoe”.
Shirley Yang look, give me some pills to eat, comfort me that this is only after being bitten by the fish, wound healing normal phenomenon, do not worry, including nightmares is also the wound grows new flesh caused by as long as the protection of good don’t get infected, it’s okay.
I just put down the hanging heart, it was not easy to get to dawn, the three in accordance with the predetermined plan towards the destination, ready to find the “toad” mark in the valley, to see if you can find through the mountain miasma of the secret passage, but this “King Xian’s Tomb” operation for many years, the layout is very well thought out, even if the “King Xian’s Tomb”, the “King Xian’s Tomb” is very well thought out. However, this “Tomb of King Xian” has been in operation for many years, and the arrangement is very detailed, even if there is a secret passage through the barrier on the ground, I am afraid that this secret passage is not so good.
The plants in the “Bug Valley” are far denser than in the jungle, so it doesn’t appear to be wide, through the two huge meteorites in front of the valley, along the Snake Creek to the depths of the valley, with the gradual descent of the terrain, the vines are also more and more plants, clumps of vines will be covered by all the upper side of the creek, and on both sides of the mountain wall hanging countless colors, a dazzling array of small plants, the “Worm Valley” is a very beautiful place, but the “King Xian’s Tomb” has been operating for many years and is very well laid out. The walls on both sides of the mountain are covered with a myriad of small plants of all shapes and sizes, and a wide variety of plants are often seen growing together in the loras on the mid-level slopes, like a colorful garden in the sky.
Due to the narrow terrain, the competition for living space here is extraordinarily fierce, and various plants expand from the top to the outside of the valley in order to get enough light, so it is completely impossible to see the terrain inside the valley from a high point.
The environment is exceptionally humid and stuffy, as far as our eyes can see, it is all rich green, after a long time, our eyes feel blurred, in order to move forward in the high density of plants, we have to use the fat man with the sapper’s shovel to open up the road in the front, Shirley Yang and I followed closely behind, and we struggled to move forward in the mosquito infested, old vines clustered in the valley.
Than the obstruction of rattan plants, the biggest problem comes from the shadows of the valley of the mosquitoes, these vampires in the jungle, less than a dozen species, swarms, without regard for the death of the body to pounce on people, we had to take with us garlic and plane grass, pounded into a juice and rubbed in the exposed parts of the body, but fortunately, colorful clouds innkeeper’s wife to give us some of the locals special anti-mosquito water, but also to play a certain role, even if the There are these mosquito repellent things, was still stung a few mouths, stung to the place immediately red and swollen, become hard, painful to the touch, like a long chalk tumors.
Shirley Yang said thank God, these mosquitoes are not big, toxicity is not powerful, after all, this is not a tropical rainforest, the Amazonia rainforest mosquitoes, is the jungle really blood-sucking demon, and there is a huge poison, but that kind of toxicity of mosquitoes, are afraid of garlic, this weakness coincides with the vampire in the European legend.
Valley so dense plants, is not unexpected, although in the “King Xian’s Tomb” construction, originally this should be a “sacred road” to the Ming Lou, all the materials have to be transported through here to the inside, but so far it has been a lapse of However, it has been two thousand years since then, and during such a long period of time, the valley may have undergone drastic changes, and the vegetation that was cut down during the construction of the King’s Tomb has grown again, covering and eroding all the remains of the “Divine Path”.
But still can be seen, as we continue to go deeper and deeper, more and more traces of artificial construction, the ground from time to time to reveal some of the collapsed stone statues, stone people, these are the King’s Tomb of the Divine Path of the two sides of the stone carvings, it can be seen that the King’s Tomb of dedication and the same as the other king’s mausoleums, are deliberately established in front of the tomb of the “Divine Path,” for the future generation of people to go to the Ming Tower to pay homage to the worship, but the King’s dedication! Probably did not expect, less than seven or eight years after his death, his territory subjects, including his hometown of ancient Yunnan, have been incorporated into the Han dynasty territory, spend huge manpower and resources, dug out of the mind to manage the construction of the king’s mausoleum can only be left in the depths of this dark valley, forever be dusty in the corner of history, only those of us who are fighting the “gold detector”, will defy the odds and be able to find a way out of it. Only we, the “Gold Mappers”, will come to visit him in spite of the difficulties and dangers.
Through a layer of plant belt, walked for three or four hours, finally in front of the ruins of a wall, this is the legendary first embankment wall, is now only left more than three meters thick, two meters high rammed earth stone platform, covered with a layer of weeds, only some of the exposed green stone places, there is no growth of plants, due to the remaining only a small section, it looks more like a green mound, with a grave mound of the same sealed earth, mixed in with a grave. Sealed mound, mixed in the deep valley between the jungle, if not Shirley Yang sharp eyes, we would have passed by this place.
In order to further confirm that the remnants of the wall covered with plants, whether it is the standard embankment wall on the human skin map, Fatty with a mountaineering pickaxe, chiseled a few times on the broken wall, trying to scrape off the surface of the weeds and green moss, I did not expect this knocking does not matter, from the cracks of this broken “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh” drilling out of the hundreds of small tree lizards, these little green guys, their body color is the same as the plants in the jungle, the same color as the jungle. Body color is exactly the same as the jungle plants, only the eyes and tongue is blood red, are the size of a finger, tree lizards usually hide in the cracks of the wrecked wall, at this time by the alarm, they have fled from the pile of rammed earth, jumping around.
Fatty was also startled by them, and wheeled up the mountaineering pickaxe and engineering shovel to slap and beat, and slapped a lot of small tree lizards into meat cakes.
Shirley Yang held down Fatty’s hand and told him to stop: “These small tree lizards don’t hurt anyone, they only eat mosquitoes and bugs, why are you so upset with them.”
I suddenly realized that these small tree lizards, when fleeing in panic, almost all of them run towards the outside of the stream valley, or climb up the plants on both sides, under a flurry of beatings by the fat man, but none of them escaped towards the deep out of the stream valley, not only the tree lizards, including mosquitoes fluttering all around, the tree bugs on the plants, the beetles, the big dragonflies, after this broken wall, there is almost no insects and animals on the other side of the stream valley, it seems that this is a dead demarcation line, even the insects that lived in the valley didn’t dare to take half a step across the line.
