Chapter 222 – White Tunnel

See Uncle Ming that brush white brush white face, I can not help but play a sudden heart, he said there are people behind the door, I do not think there is anything terrible, the big deal is that the soldiers to drop block, water and earth flooding is also, I have been the most worried about a thing, is Uncle Ming’s state of mind, since the Tibet, one after another casualties, so that he has become a bird of prey, and the “big black day hit the thunder mountain” name of the place, but also to violate his taboo, although Uncle Ming is also considered to be the old sailor how many years of experience in the storm, but the “much more The name of the place “Thunder Mountain”, but also violated his taboo, although Uncle Ming is also considered to be in the great storms and waves in the experience of many years of old sailors, but “suspicious” is his Achilles heel.

There are many things in this world, can not be trusted, but can not be trusted, but excessive superstition, will only bring their own unbearable mental pressure, even if there is a great ability, but also by their own psychological pressure is limited, simply can not be used.

At this moment, I can no longer judge Uncle Ming’s action is true or false, perhaps he is just a mediocre, scare themselves, but to be on the safe side, I still walked to the edge of the stone door to see what happened.

Uncle Ming saw that I was planning to open the stone door, and hurriedly said to me again, “There is someone behind the door, don’t open it, it seems that the altar over there can’t be gone, Hu old brother I think we should think of another way to find a way out.”

I raised my hand to set Uncle Ming aside and said to him, “How can there be people in a place where no living person has entered or left for hundreds or thousands of years? Besides, we are now walking on a road to Mount Hua, no matter what is inside, it is necessary to risk breaking into a, otherwise …… “I would have liked to tell Uncle Ming today and then not into the altar, the rest of the people are not bad, you’re this dead old man eighty percent is dead, but on second thought or not to say that this matter, and then to him! But on second thought, I’d rather not say anything about it, and if I give him any more excitement, maybe he’ll turn into a psychopath just like Prof. Chen.

I perfunctory Uncle Ming a few sentences, will persuade him aside, then came to the ground before the stone door, into the dead volcano in the belly of the temple so far, I have not had the time to look carefully at the only portal, at this time to the front of the close look, this is not heavy stone door is very old, the bottom of the sliding stone ball as a mechanism for opening and closing, the door does not have any extra decorative embellishments, only in the stone plate carved with two huge human eyes, eyeball totem in the Jingjie City as well as the Evil Dead, and the city of the city of the evil spirits, the city of the evil spirits. Totems in the Jingjie City as well as the Wicked Luo Hai City, it can be said that they are all over the place and have been seen time and time again, but the eyeball relief on the stone door is different, the eye totems that have been seen in the past are eyeballs that do not have eyelids, whereas this pair of eyes, they have eyelids that are closed together.

The ancestors in the ancient city, believed that the eyes were the source of the power of reincarnation, but what did the eye reliefs in the form of closed eyes represent? I was only slightly stunned, did not think much about the mystery of it, it has pulled open the stone door, carefully probe half of the body, to see the movement behind the door, behind the stone door is a long natural cave, there are a large number of volcanoes formed during the period of great changes in the rock crystals, emitting a cold night light, in the darkness of the underground world, as if a winding white tunnel, the tunnel is not straight, dozens of meters away from the turn into the dead end of sight, it is difficult to judge its length.

I saw this door behind the cave although some strange, belonging to a very rare geological structure, but not as Uncle Ming said, where is half a shadow? I thought to myself that it seemed that the old Hong Kong farmer had probably had a mental breakdown, and I was about to shrink back, when I suddenly heard a sound of slow footsteps coming from the far side of the white tunnel.

This area behind the stone door, seems to be extremely close to the sound, the sound of footsteps although far away, but the ear into the door, will be heard clearly, not wrong, the slow pace of the sound of the steps, is a person’s two legs issued, may be due to the relationship between the terrain, sounds exceptionally heavy, seems to have the force of a thousand pounds, every step to the ground, my heart will be followed by a tremor.

Thunder-like footsteps from far and near, the rhythm is more and more rapid, seems to be at the end of the white tunnel, there is a giant running wildly to, landing footsteps shocking, my heartbeat accelerated, an inexplicable panic from the heart of the ground surged out, and even exhaustion can not be restrained, and no longer dare to look into the tunnel, and hastily retracted back, “Boom” sound, and forcefully put the The stone door closed tightly, and the sound of footsteps almost at the same time stopped.

I let out a long breath, found that my body has been a layer of white hair sweat, a moment of mind shaking, even I do not understand, just now, why the footsteps so afraid of, secretly think that really fucking living hell, there must be something in the cave.

I quickly let myself calm down, adjusted the rhythm of breathing, put his ear on the stone door to listen, but behind the door but also surprisingly quiet, a long time, there is no abnormality, as if the tunnel is only a piece of silent nothingness, any living things do not exist.

Uncle Ming behind me, apparently did not hear the footsteps, but saw my appearance, I know that I and he first pushed open the stone door after the encounter should not be too different, but still open to ask me how? What did you see?

I thought that now our group of people and tired and hungry, there are people seriously injured, can be said to be the end of the strong offspring, before rest and recuperation difficult to do anything, that stone door is not quite right, but it seems that as long as the door is closed, in the belly of this volcano is still quite safe, it is better to keep quiet, so as not to cause panic, there are any problems wait until you have enough to eat a full stomach and then solve the problem, so to Uncle Ming shook his head, said that nothing! and pretended that everything was normal, pulling his arm and dragging him back to the place where Fatty roasted the lizard.

Uncle Ming is now not to go, not stay, not, worried, both eyes are red, sitting by the fire and told me the superstitious cause and effect between the name and destiny, the name of the place, and advised me to take the group to leave this “big black sky strikes the thunder mountain” earlier.

I was indifferent, just focusing on eating to fill my stomach, but Uncle Ming seems to be in the magic as if talking endlessly, he first said a few famous events in modern times, see I did not have any reaction, then more and more far away, and finally said that in the back of the Zhou Dynasty Xiande six years, the Zhou Shizong Chai Rong up to the north of the Liao Liao army, in order to take the Yuzhou, the true Dragon Emperor’s Royal Palace, the morale of a great boost, coupled with the rapidity of the troops, the Qidan military and people were all panicked, Liao Liao soldiers fled in the wind. The Liao soldiers fled from the wind and ran away all night, the Zhou army was like a cracker, and even down two continents and three passes, respectively, Mozhou, Yingzhou, Sukou Pass, Wabiao Pass, Yizin Pass, and looked to recover Youzhou, but unexpectedly in the Wabiao Pass, Chai Rong climbed high to see the six divisions, see the three armies of the strong and mighty, the dragon’s face was very happy, there are many local people to greet the people, the Shizong Chai Rong look at the topography of the place is dangerous, to dominate the situation, he asked the local an old man, the place what is the name? The answer was: “All the generations of the people. Answer day: “generations, called the sick dragon platform.” Chai Rong heard the name of this place, immediately looked silent, that night a sick, had to give up a good situation to retreat, lost the opportunity to recover the Youzhou, and he himself also in the way back to the death of a violent illness, see the name and good and bad ……

I listened to Uncle Ming said half a day, some things have not heard, but some seem to be true, but I’m afraid this is all psychological effect, there is a national virtues, when the enjoyment of trillions of years, people do good deeds, you can enjoy the days of age, the ancient emperor also said “long live” it, did not see which one can live more than a hundred years, can be seen to be a fucking bullshit, I feel that can not be left again! I think we can’t let Uncle Ming talk on, we don’t want to listen to him, he said intentionally, the result is only to make his own nerves more nervous, so he made a wink to the fat man, asked him to take a piece of meat to block Uncle Ming’s mouth.

The fat man will understand, immediately put a piece of meat has a few roasted over the fire handed to Uncle Ming: “Climbing snowy mountains do not drink ghee tea, like an eagle broke a wing …… Of course ghee tea we can not drink, but this meat is quite enough sinewy, I said Uncle Ming, your old man also do not think of it, think of so much of the top of the egg use, throw open the big teeth you just gnaw, and you will be able to get rid of the big teeth of the big teeth. The big groove teeth you just gnaw, eat enough to get on the road.”

Uncle Ming said to Fatty, “Fatty, if you don’t know how to talk, don’t talk nonsense, okay? What do you mean by “eat your fill”? That is not into eating a broken meal, who still eat to go ……” but the meat in the hands, smell the meat, really hungry, half of the words will not care to say, grunted and chewed up, look at that broken frame, there are a few points to go out of their way, it is the death of the living is left to God’s The sadness.

I understand in my heart if a person in a short period of time mood ups and downs, is never a good sign, but here and now can only dry anxious, but there is no mantra, but at least it is considered to be the first to stabilize Uncle Ming, while the effort I went to look for Shirley Yang to discuss the countermeasures.

Shirley Yang is taking care of Ah Xiang’s injuries, the turtle shell does have a miraculous effect, Ah Xiang’s wounds have healed in a short period of time, but because she lost too much blood, very weak, now drowsy sleep.

I will lead to the altar of the stone door of the matter of Shirley Yang told in detail, Shirley Yang on the stone door of the white tunnel from the unknown, previously collected all the information, did not mention this passage, but can be expected, Karamir this area, there must be its special place, otherwise the evil Luo sea people will not be the altar of the ghost cave deliberately repaired in this place, we discussed to no avail, it seems that the only way to rest for a few hours now is to rest for a few hours. It seems that at the moment, we can only rest for a few hours, and then enter the white tunnel, take a step and see what happens, other than that, there isn’t much room to choose from.

So all the people eat a full meal, according to the prearranged rest in turn, Uncle Ming eat full, not so much talk, put the heart of a cross fell asleep, but all the people have their own mind, only four hours of sleep, no one can sleep, Shirley Yang in the Ah Xiang woke up, give her something to eat, I will be the rest of the weapons redistributed, the fat man captured Uncle Ming’s M1911 pistol, to Shirley Yang, then I realized the remaining weapons. Shirley Yang, then I realized, we only have three pistols, a sports rifle left, ammunition is also pathetic, an average of twenty rounds of ammunition per person, no bullets of firearms is not as good as a burning stick, the loss of weapons and equipment greatly exceeded the expected, to the road ahead, cast a layer of ominous shadow.

As things stand now, only to comfort themselves that there is no mountain of flames that can’t be passed, go forward, Shirley Yang looked at the stone door on the tightly closed eyes carving, thought for half a day and have no clue, so all the people will be in the hands of the weapon safety open, so that it is at any time in the state of being able to fire, and then the stone door pulled back, but because of the previous experience, no one dares to step over half a step, still standing outside the door! Peeping at the movements inside, and in the tunnel behind the door, there was no movement other than the faint white fluorescence from the depths of the cave.

This time, the stone door will be completely pulled open from the doorway, I realized that the back of the door panel, there are also closed eyes in relief, there are also some other strange eyeball-shaped pattern, two sections are closed eyes form, the middle is divided into two compartments, each for the eyes open and closed, the open part, the background of an additional black blurred silhouette, I read plausibly, as if which is recorded, is the secret of this natural tunnel.

Shirley Yang only looked at a few eyes, has comprehended the content: “too dangerous, fortunately just did not venture into it, this crystallized ore formation of natural tunnels, is the legend of the evil god of the great black sky striking thunder mountain, this is the only way to enter the altar of the city of the evil Luo Haicheng, there are no forks in the road, anyone who enters the people must close their eyes and pass through, once the tunnel in the in the tunnel open your eyes that will …… something terrible will happen.”

I asked Shirley Yang in this white crystalline stone tunnel open eyes, in the end what will happen.Shirley Yang said that would not know, the content of the stone door, only to play a warning role, very general, but also very vague, the human eyes will release the cave of the evil gods, as for what exactly open your eyes will see, the stone door does not have a relevant record.

Shirley Yang thought for a while and said, the legend of the “big black sky thunder mountain” is to control the evil spirit of the ore, of course, that’s just a myth, probably like the avalanche god “crystal in the mountain”, the composition of this tunnel, is probably a kind of special crystalline rock containing special The human body hides many secrets, especially the eyes, there is some kind of weak bioelectricity in the human eyes, for example, some people are very sensitive to other people’s gazes, and even gazing behind a person’s back will sometimes make them realize that this kind of subtle sensation comes from this, I think this white tunnel is not simple, perhaps once you open your eyes, you will be affected by the energy of those elements, and the lightness of the tunnel will be affected by the energy of those elements. I think this white tunnel must not be simple, perhaps once you open your eyes in it, you will be affected by those elemental energies, which may cause you to lose your sanity, or may kill you.

Shirley Yang means that if you want to enter the tunnel, you must ensure that you can not open your eyes before reaching the altar, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. I think she is from a scientific point of view, although it is difficult to avoid some subjective and arbitrary, but regardless of what the “big black sky hit the thunder mountain” in the end, follow the customs in the countryside, in order to pass smoothly, it is best to do everything according to the rules of the ancient times.

Closed eyes, equal to the loss of vision, in this case through the tunnel, is very risky, and before this, no one has had this experience, but we discussed, or decided to take a risk, by the fat man to take the lead, will be the rifle returned bullets, inverted as a blind cane, Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang walked in the middle of the relative safety, because there is no need to trek, Ah Xiang himself can barely walk, I and Shirley Yang walked in the last. Shirley Yang walked at the end, I am still worried that some people can not withstand the pressure of darkness, in the middle of the road to open their eyes, that will have to drag the group can not take it, so before entering the stone door, with the tape to each person’s eyes on the post, which is to move.

Because there is not enough rope, had to the back of the people holding the shoulders of the people in front, five people in a string, close to the left side of the tunnel, step by step groping forward, I secretly counted the number of steps, and Uncle Ming began to tense up, nagging non-stop, I thought he kept talking or not, and now they are blind like, only to keep talking, and through the hand of the sense of touch to understand between each other. The only way to understand each other’s existence is to keep talking and touching each other’s hands.

This time, close your eyes and walk into the tunnel, but did not hear the depths of the alarming footsteps, Shirley Yang said in the Crowlard Canyon underground, there is a kind of crystalline stone can send out their own sound, inside the sound of a thousand strange, similar to the wind, rain, lightning and thunder of the natural world of sound, but also human crying and laughing, the beasts roar and hissing a kind of sound, but to post the ear in the above, to be heard, known as the “sound moving stone”. “This tunnel may also contain similar substances that interfere with human hearing.

Humans may have an instinctive fear of the darkness, the crowd walked and talked, but also from time to time to remind each other not to open their eyes, sharing some of the psychological pressure due to the loss of vision, but no one knows how far away from the end of the tunnel, so intermittently out of more than a hundred paces, the tunnel in the damp and putrid smell gradually become thicker, the four walls of the cold, I recall the first time I looked inward from the stone doorway, I suddenly felt An overwhelming fear, probably due to the environment here, and now walk in it with eyes closed, will still produce fear, although not as strong as when looking inside, but with step by step deeper and deeper, that feeling and gradually aggravated, so that the whole person feels extremely depressed.

At this time the front of the fat man began to curse, complaining in this tunnel, making every hair on the body feel twisted, it turns out that not only I have this feeling, all the people are the same, that is a very strange feeling.

Only heard Uncle Ming said: “Ms. Yang you just said that the feeling of being stared at will make people feel very uncomfortable, I seem to have that feeling now, do you feel that there are a lot of people in the dead staring at us? There seems to be people up and down, left and right.”

I heard Shirley Yang in front of me say, “There is this kind of feeling, but hopefully this is just an illusion due to the sightlessness …… but it seems that there is really something in this hole.”

At this time there were some loud sounds around, listening to that sound was actually the movement of a poisonous snake swimming around and spitting out its mail, we could not help but stop moving our feet forward, I felt my fingers tingling, I don’t know if it was due to the soreness and numbness caused by putting my hand on Shirley Yang’s shoulder for too long, and I suddenly had a bad thought, it was very bad, first, the visual sense was restricted in a compelling situation, and then the sense of hearing, sense of smell and touch also had abnormalities, after entering the tunnel, our five senses were gradually disappearing.
