Chapter 10 Insects (7)

"Forget it, let me tell you. Meng Bingyu and I are both from the Department of Biology. Our homework is relatively good, and we often go to teachers on behalf of the class. Bingyu also occasionally helps the professor as an experimental assistant. She is a A very smart person, and also the top student in our department, the professor thinks highly of her." Hearing his compliment to Meng Bingyu, Xiaodie couldn't help but bow her head in shame.Because she is so inconspicuous in class, no teacher can call her by her name so far. "Perhaps you have heard that there was a car accident in our biology department last year. There were three women and a man in the car. He Na and Meng Bingyu were both my classmates. The strange thing is that there was another girl in the car, who was a Chinese student from our S University. He was a graduate student. But neither He Na nor Meng Bingyu knew the female graduate student. He Na died terribly. It is said that her head was squeezed out and her flesh was flying everywhere. The female graduate student also died after being sent to the hospital. The man who drove the car The head was seriously injured and he became a vegetable. Only Meng Bingyu was almost unscathed."

"She's lucky." "Yeah, but since then she has been preoccupied, maybe because of the fear of the memory of the car accident. She seems to be looking for something, and she is mysterious and doesn't tell others. She is often in a daze during class, with her head down. Whatever you write, it is completely different from Meng Bingyu in the past." Xiaodie tentatively asked: "Did she say anything else?" "She said—" Zhuang Qiushui bit her lip and thought for a moment, "She said she wanted to get a 'ghost beauty'." "Ghost beauty?" The woman in white clothes appeared in my mind instantly, with long black hair covering her face, like a beauty in painted skin.Xiaodie became more and more courageous, and asked like an interrogation: "When was the last time you saw her?"

"It's already last year. It seems to be in the campus. I saw Meng Bingyu hurried past, her expression was still very excited. Her lips kept moving, as if she was talking to herself. When I greeted her, she also Ignore me." On the path by the river under the moonlit night, several couples passed by clinging to each other, and Xiaodie took a few steps out in embarrassment.Zhuang Qiushui asked: "Tell me, why do you want to inquire about Meng Bingyu?" "No... nothing... I'll tell you later." "Okay, I don't force you to answer." He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I'll take you home."

Her face turned red immediately, she shook her head and said, "No need, I'll go back by myself. By the way, there is one last question—do you know the 'Butterfly Cemetery'?" "I'm sorry," he turned his head impatiently, looked at Suzhou River and said, "I don't know!" Xiaodie didn't know what to say: "I'm sorry to trouble you today...then, goodbye." After that, she had already turned around, and suddenly she turned around and said, "Oh, return your umbrella!" She handed the umbrella to Zhuang Qiushui, lowered her head and trotted away.

The moon hid in the clouds again. June 10 at 20:55 pm Shang Xiaodie returned home. She quietly hid in the room, only thinking that she was so stupid just now, she didn't know what Zhuang Qiushui was thinking, probably in his eyes she was an ugly duckling, a silly girl who couldn't speak, who was ignored like a pile of garbage . "You're so stupid! You're so stupid! You're so stupid!" She yelled to herself in the mirror, then went behind the curtain and looked at the dark third-floor window opposite. The game between England and Paraguay started, and although the TV was on, I didn't have the heart to watch Beckham anymore.

Xiaodie sat on the desk, Meng Bingyu's notebook was still open, it happened to be the page she saw in the morning, and the last line read: Is this the key to the "Butterfly Cemetery"? The back is the professional class notes of the biology department, full of spore plants and the like.Turning over to Meng Bingyu’s words—— I found it wild! He was a poet in the 1980s, and Ye Ye was his pen name. When he was studying at S University, his poems had spread far and wide, and he was as famous as Shu Ting, Bei Dao, Gu Cheng and others.The masterpiece "Ghost Creek" was once all the rage in China's new poetry circles, and it was written about the small river hidden on the campus of S University.In his graduation year, the poet was found — forensically determined to have drowned — in one of his “ghost creeks.”Since then, "Ghost Creek" has gradually become another name for this small river.

That year, Ye Ye felt that his inspiration was exhausted, and he could no longer write works like "Ghost Creek".In order to get new inspiration, he actually found the "Butterfly Cemetery"!So I wrote a poem called .But everyone thought he was drunk and bragging.No one has seen wild ones, and he drowned in the creek before the manuscript was published. How could the poem manuscript be buried by the "ghost beauty" Bai Shuang? I figured it out through my cousin - Baishuang was writing a dissertation on avant-garde poetry in the 80s, which had a chapter on wildness.Bai Shuang has a keen interest in him, and deeply studies Wild's poems and life.By chance, she discovered Ye Ye's manuscript, which proved that Ye Ye had indeed been to that mysterious place.Maybe the wild left other clues, like a map or something.

In short, Bai Shuang relied on what he left behind and luckily found the Butterfly Cemetery.Then, she buried the manuscript by the "ghost creek".What a smart and witty "ghost beauty". God bless, I just discovered the secret of the poem manuscript! I also deciphered the mysterious map on the "Butterfly Cemetery" website. Tomorrow is tomorrow——I will go to Huangquan Road according to the instructions of these codes to find my butterfly cemetery. My butterfly cemetery. My ghost beauty. "My ghost beauty?" Xiaodie muttered the last sentence.What does it mean? Isn't the "ghost beauty" graduate student Bai Shuang?Are there other "ghost beauties"?God knows what that is!

And the mysterious map on the "Butterfly Cemetery" website, how did Meng Bingyu decipher it?What does it have to do with poetry?After thinking about it, Shang Xiaodie turned on the computer and went online. According to the historical records stored in the computer, she entered the "Butterfly Cemetery" website for the third time.It is the butterfly with the beauty and the skeleton at the beginning again, and then the four characters "Butterfly Cemetery" on the home page.Click "Hell and Heaven" in the text to enter the "Butterfly Cemetery Map".

Looking carefully at this mysterious map, Shang Xiaodie has never been able to get in. The lines on it are so weird that I can't think of anything at all. Where is the Butterfly Cemetery? She first saved the map to "Picture Collection", and then clicked the cross below with full of doubts. The webpage turned into a street sign of "Huangquan Nine Roads". If this photo was not made by PS, then there must be this road, but why did Meng Bingyu say there is no such road in the notes? Then, she clicked on the picture of the "Huangquan Ninth Road" road sign, and an ancient door appeared on the screen, and the left and right door panels opened to enter a new web page.

A strange melody sounded from the computer speaker, and after the aura-filled prelude, a magnetic young female voice sang. In an instant, the ear was lightly pricked, and the sound of singing filled the night.Her heart also suddenly became ethereal and quiet, and she sat in front of the computer screen in a daze, letting the sound slowly occupy the eardrums, and gradually spread to every inch of skin in her body. It was this female voice, the female voice that she dreamed of the morning before yesterday, she clearly remembered the voice in the dream—— you lurk underground I am waiting in the world You spin your own cocoon I long for loneliness The soft vocals have a flavor of another era and seem to melt the night away.Did the voice in the dream come true, or was it a dream at this moment? As the melodious singing continued, her eyes fell on the screen, and a dark corridor was revealed in the mysterious gate, which looked like a picture in a video game.The floor of the corridor is covered with blue stone slabs, and the white moonlight is cast from the vault, which is as long as the underground palace of an ancient mausoleum. The song lasted about four minutes, and Shang Xiaodie listened carefully to every line of the lyrics.She found that the singer's voice is not standard, but it is not the feeling of Hong Kong and Taiwan, but a more distant exotic style.It's hard to describe, but also full of shocking power. Following the picture of the tunnel, it seems that you are walking underground, heading for the depths of the endless underground palace... The music finally ended, and the corridor naturally came to an end, and a closed door appeared on the screen. There is a line written on the door—— It is both hell and heaven.Everyone wants to enter, but everyone is afraid to enter. This sentence is like homework in a philosophy class. She found the mouse again and clicked on the underground door. The moment the door opened, the computer screen suddenly went dark. Xiaodie thought she had walked into a deeper hole, but found that the computer was completely unresponsive. Immediately, the screen went to the WINDOWS start-up screen again. It turned out that it had suddenly crashed and restarted just now.She couldn't figure it out, how could it suddenly crash?After waiting anxiously for two minutes, the computer entered the desktop state again. Fortunately, there was nothing abnormal. She went online again to enter the "Butterfly Cemetery" website, but the homepage couldn't be opened anyway.I tried other websites again, and they all opened smoothly, and the network transmission was no problem at all.Could it be that something happened to the other party's server suddenly?Fluttershy then used her browser's history to try to access other parts of the "Butterfly Cemetery" website, but again to no avail.This strange website seems to be under a spell, and a pair of strong locks are put on it, and no one can get in again. Shang Xiaodie finally gave up, she turned off the computer helplessly, and picked up Meng Bingyu's notebook again. I just read "My Ghost Beauty", which is already the second half of the entire notebook, and there are many empty pages in the back.She turned to the last page, and saw the blood-red calligraphy—— I'm back from the butterfly cemetery I found the ghost beauty thank goodness i succeeded June 11 at 7:55 a.m. Shang Xiaodie's world is still late at night. The moon and stars are sparse, and the black magpie flies south, circling the tree three times, with no branches to cling to. She saw the big tree, standing miserably in the moonlight, with loose and dirty soil under her feet.She looked at the top of her head, besides the moon, there was a tall and dilapidated house.The strange thing is that she didn't want to go into the house, but turned her back to the door of the house, as if she had just come out of it. How did she come here, and how did she get out of this big house, Shang Xiaodie was completely ignorant.All I know is that at this very moment, she has come to this place, with the moon hanging above her head, the soil under her feet, and this scene in front of her eyes—— cemetery. Before Xiaodie's eyes was a large cemetery, many coffins were faintly protruding from the ground, and the will-o'-the-wisps were flickering underground.Just as she was hesitating to pass through the cemetery, some kind of singing sounded faintly behind her. It was that woman's cappella again, the tone was soft and graceful, and it spread far and far in the dark night.Yes, she heard the lyrics clearly again: "You are lurking in the ground / I am waiting in the world / You spin your own cocoon / I want to see through the loneliness..." The ghost's singing is seeing her off?Xiaodie slowly stepped into the cemetery, trembling with every step she took, and dead bones were buried under every inch of ground. Suddenly, there was another strange sound behind her, and something gradually approached her.The cold wind hit from the back of her neck, then penetrated through her collar, caressing her whole body. I wanted to shout out desperately, but no sound came out of my mouth.He wanted to spread his legs and run forward, but he couldn't move his feet. Finally—touched her. It was a cold hand gently resting on Xiaodie's shoulder. She turned around trembling all over, but before she saw that face, she fell to the ground. Then, Shang Xiaodie opened his eyes. She found herself lying on the floor, another horrible nightmare. The song of dream was heard on the website of "Butterfly Cemetery". Could it be "Butterfly Cemetery"? The soft sky light flooded the room, Xiaodie's face was pressed against the floor, her hands and feet were stretched out, looking at the tilted world.The current look is suitable for playing a dead body in a horror movie.Fortunately, he didn't catch a cold. Looking up at the corner of the wall, the flute pierced his sight like an arrow. This is not the flute of a deserted village. The surface of the flute is painted with dark yellow lacquer and wrapped with dark brown silk thread.At the end near the blowhole, there is a butterfly about to fly. Xiaodie reached out to take down the flute, and gently caressed it in the palm of her hand.Can smell the smell of reeds, which is the raw material of Dimo.This flute has been with her since she was a child, and it is the only specialty she is proud of in her childhood. She pressed the flute hole to her lips, and slowly sent her breath into the flute.The flute vibrated slightly and made several pleasant tones.She took a deep breath and blew softly. The sound wave rushed out of the flute in an instant, like countless birds in the forest.The sound of the flute in the early morning has a strong penetrating power, and it flies all the way to the palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty - Wuyan goes up to the west building alone, and the moon is like a hook.Lonely sycamore deep courtyard locks Qingqiu.The constant cutting, the reason is still chaotic, it is the sorrow of separation.Don't have a feeling in your heart. This is Li Houzhu's Ci, and the name of the Ci brand is "Meeting Joy", which was later sung by Teresa Teng.When I heard this song by chance when I was in junior high school, I fell in love with it.I remember the summer vacation in high school, every evening she would hide behind the curtains and play this piece secretly. Suddenly the door opened, and Dad walked in and shouted, "Stop blowing!" Xiaodie's flute stopped abruptly, she hid in a corner and lowered her head. Dad lost his temper: "What kind of broken flute do you play in the early morning? On Sunday, the neighbors go to bed late, you want to wake up the whole building? If you dare to play it again, I will throw it away!" "No!" Xiaodie tightly protected the flute, wrapping it tightly around her chest, "You must not touch it! This is the flute my mother left for me...my mother left me..." Hearing the word "Mom", Dad's expression softened, and there was a bit of discomfort hidden in his eyes.He came up and stroked his daughter's hair and said, "I'm sorry, baby." Shang Xiaodie stopped talking, just hugged the flute foolishly, as if hugging her mother's hand. Dad shook his head sadly and exited his daughter's room. She raised her head slowly, her eyes suddenly became cold.She looked at the notebook spread out on the desk, the last page of Meng Bingyu's notes—— Butterfly Cemetery. Yes, it is calling her, through the mysterious website, through the heavenly singing, through the dreams that visit every night! "Butterfly Cemetery" kept calling Shang Xiaodie, she couldn't resist, and she couldn't resist. She took a few breaths and opened her laptop again. The "Butterfly Cemetery Map" is already in the "Picture Collection".At this moment, this mysterious map, like a maze, appears on the screen.I can't tell which year it is from, let alone where it is. Xiaodie carefully recalled Meng Bingyu's notes, perhaps only wild poems could help her decipher this map. So, Xiaodie took out the old poem manuscript again, and read it carefully from beginning to end: who cries on the edge of the city Who walked through the dawn of Huangquan Road It's ghosts weaving maps The devil's chessboard is filled with pieces That’s right, the first four lines of the entire poem have clarified the approximate location of the “Butterfly Cemetery”——“Weeping at the Edge of the City”, which should be at the junction of the suburbs, where Meng Bingyu and the others had a car accident . "Dawn of Huangquan Road", although she doesn't know if there is a "Huangquan Road", but that place did appear in the video, "Dawn" is probably the time for wild visits. The third line of the poem reads "the ghost is weaving the map", and then look at the "butterfly cemetery map" on the computer screen. This is clearly not a picture drawn by humans, but by a banshee or a ghost.Line 4 "The devil's chessboard is filled with pieces"—what does "chessboard" represent?His eyes fell on the lower left corner of the map. There was a grid of criss-crossing straight lines, which looked exactly like a chessboard.It is filled with all kinds of strange symbols, such as flowers, skulls, crosses, crosses, pentagons, etc., isn't it just like chess pieces on a chessboard? If this checkerboard pattern is placed on a modern map, it is exactly the layout of longitude and latitude lines criss-crossing——longitude and latitude? Xiaodie instantly thought of the name of the road: Jingwei Sanlu! It was the road where Meng Bingyu and the others had a car accident and the "ghost beauty" Bai Shuang disappeared. Could it be that this corner on the "Butterfly Cemetery Map" is the "Huangquan Road" written in the wild poems? Yes, the street sign of "Huangquan Ninth Road" in the crash video must be near that location, maybe "Jingwei 3rd Road" is "Huangquan Ninth Road"? She knew that over the past decade or so, with the continuous expansion of the city, the names of roads in many suburbs and industrial areas have changed. Today's road names are mostly named later. Maybe "Huangquan Nine Road" is where this road passed. name, and the old street sign was left in a remote corner without being removed due to some negligence, so Meng Bingyu couldn't find this road anymore? That's right, the "Butterfly Cemetery" is near this "Three Jingwei Road"! Shang Xiaodie read out the fifth to eighth lines of the poem—— sinking ship Do you see the cape in the night Poseidon's Lonely Lighthouse Rusting under the torment of time What do these four sentences mean?Is it to describe the scene by the sea?A lost ship is approaching the coast, perhaps it has sailed into dangerous reefs, and if it is not careful, it will hit the rocks and sink.The only thing that can save it at this moment is the lighthouse on the promontory, which illuminates the correct direction for the ship! Suddenly, Xiaodie felt like a small boat on the edge of a hidden reef, lost in the storm, and might be smashed to pieces at any time.She really needed a lighthouse to help her find the correct route and discover the "butterfly cemetery" in the dark mist—she immediately understood, isn't the "lighthouse" the coordinates of navigation?It is not only the coordinates to guide the navigation direction, but also the coordinates to guide people to find the "Butterfly Cemetery".As long as you can find this "lighthouse", you can follow the clues to discover the "Butterfly Cemetery"! Are there such coordinates on the map? She quickly looked at the screen carefully. On the "board" in the lower left corner of the "Butterfly Cemetery Map", among the densely packed symbols, one happened to be in the shape of a lighthouse! Yes, here are the coordinates where the "Butterfly Cemetery" was discovered! Xiaodie immediately found the current city map, which was the latest version that her father bought when he was learning to drive. According to the road name index on the back of the map, she easily found the location of "Jingwei Sanlu".There are nine roads from "Jingwei 1st Road" to "Jingwei 9th Road", which also show a checkerboard shape on the map, which coincides with this corner on the "Butterfly Cemetery Map". Poseidon's Lonely Lighthouse
