Chapter 4 Chapter Three

Fortunately, the sky gradually brightened, and the fog on the mountain was very heavy, and we couldn't find the way back for a while.At this time, everyone felt very tired, and everyone decided to take a rest before going down the mountain.Ah Chao and the others leaned against the rocks, feeling tired and hungry, so they fell asleep.I don't know how long it took, Ah Chao slowly woke up, but he found that there was no one else around him, only himself. A Chao called Lord Dou and Jiang Qiankun by their names, but no one agreed at all.He panicked, and continued to search aimlessly around.The more he walked, the more tired he was, and just when he gave up, he came to the place where the few of them slept last night.The tent on the ground was still there, but the daily necessities inside the tent were gone, and Ah Chao suddenly felt desperate.Ah Chao thought, how did they get here, shouldn't he be at the foot of the mountain?At this time, he saw something shining in the grass, and when he walked over, it turned out to be the saber scattered by everyone last night.This saber is about 20 centimeters long and has high hardness. It belongs to the military supplies specially equipped by the field army.

A Chao picked up the saber and saw a red thing lying on the ground in front of him. He immediately walked forward and saw that the person lying on the ground turned out to be his junior brother A Tian.But Ah Tian was covered in injuries, bloody and horrible, only his face remained relatively intact.There were torn pieces of clothes all over the ground, and there was blood all over the ground beside the trees. Ah Chao was terrified, and at this moment he felt something dripping on his face.Ah Chao wiped it with his hand and found that it was blood.He looked up to the cliff, and saw a coffin about fifteen meters above his head dripping blood.A Chao had never seen such a scene before, and immediately ran down the mountain.

The run lasted half an hour, and when he stopped, Ah Chao was already exhausted and out of breath.At this time, Ah Chao looked at the mountain road in front of him, and it seemed very familiar. He remembered the scene of wild men burning fourth uncle on the mountain last night.But looking at it now, where did the savage come from? Looking up, there are only hanging coffins of different heights in the distance. Thinking of Jiang Qiankun's younger brother who was shot and killed by Lord Dou last night, Ah Chao felt terrified.Sure enough, walking forward, he saw the body of Jiang Qiankun's younger brother.But there is only Jiang Qiankun's younger brother on the ground, no fourth uncle.Jiang Qiankun's younger brother was full of bullets, not a skeleton like the one he saw last night.At this time, Ah Chao had no time to deal with his body, he just wanted to leave this place quickly.

Ah Chao felt that he was really lost, and he was very hungry.Sitting on the mountain, he saw a fruit tree in front of him. A Chao seemed to have seen roast chicken and goose hanging on the tree.He went up the mountain and picked a lot of fruits. The fruits were bright red, the size of apples, and tasted as sweet as bananas. After Ah Chao was full, he sat at the foot of the mountain and closed his eyes to rest.After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt a pain in his foot, and when he looked up, it turned out that a tiger had bitten his leg.A Chao was very surprised, and immediately stabbed the tiger with a knife.But he was no match for the tiger. The tiger dragged Ah Chao down the mountain.Ah Chao's leg was bitten bloody. In an emergency, he swung his knife again and fought the tiger desperately. Because Ah Chao had received relatively good fighting training, he actually drove the tiger away.

After driving away the tiger, Ah Chao found that he could not hear the sound.Once the wind blows in the surrounding mountains, there used to be a flapping sound among the pine trees, but now I can't hear it.He tried to slap his right hand with his left hand, but he couldn't hear any sound.Ah Chao felt as if he had fallen into a deep valley, wishing he could die on the mountain. No wonder when the tiger came, Ah Chao couldn't find the tiger. It turned out that he had lost his hearing.Ah Chao thought that he must have lost his hearing by eating the fruit from the tree just now.But the instinct to survive still made him want to leave this place.He hugged the pine tree on the mountain, and when he stood on the mountainside and looked down, he suddenly found that there was a two-meter-high fence on the other side of the mountain, which was the exit.

Seeing the exit, Ah Chao was overjoyed.Since Ah Chao's leg was broken and he couldn't walk, he could only climb towards the mountain pass.After two days and two nights, with tenacious perseverance, Ah Chao finally climbed over the fence. After leaving Furong Mountain, Ah Chao immediately called Tang Yong. Since Ah Chao couldn't hear what Tang Yong said, he naturally gave an irrelevant answer.Tang Yong thought he had met a liar, so he ignored it.After Tang Yong hung up the phone, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the call just now should be from Ah Chao.But when he called back, no one could be found.

Tang Yong, who already had a premonition of the accident, immediately sent people to Furong Mountain to search for A Chao, but the search for a week failed.Just one month after Tang Yong's despair, Ah Chao returned to Beijing.He was sent back through the ambulance station, who at that time regarded him as a disabled person. After eating the poisonous fruit, Ah Chao's health became worse and worse, and his eyesight also began to decline.Fortunately, Ah Chao received emergency treatment from the first-aid station in Yibin and saved his life. However, due to the late treatment and insufficient medical expenses, he missed the best time for treatment and was completely deaf.Although his leg injury was cured, he was already disabled.

When Ah Chao returned to Beijing, he realized that among those who went with him, he was the only one who survived. Hearing this, everyone was overwhelmed, and they were all infected by the horror scene at that time.For a while, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere of joy brought by the big bear just now disappeared completely.I could see that everyone was terrified.Although I have already had such an experience in the Yuan Dynasty general's tomb, I still feel creepy about this mysterious place. Fortunately, Ah Chao did not see the body of the fourth uncle, which means that the fourth uncle is probably still alive.After Ah Chao finished talking about his experience, he returned to his room under Tang Yong's signal.

Tang Yong told everyone that A Chao's experience not only gave us a warning, but also provided us with first-hand materials, and we will definitely be able to complete this task.Then, he told us to sleep well at night, maintain good physical strength, and prepare for the following actions.Then, everyone went back to their rooms. The next day, our group flew to Yibin and took a taxi from Yibin Airport to Xunchang Town, Gong County.Xunchang Town is not big, and it is close to Gongxian County.There, someone arranged a hotel for us.At ten o'clock in the evening, a car stopped at the door of the hotel, and several men in black carried out a large pile of military packages and sent them to our room.These packages are all the same, bulging, I understand that this is the equipment Tang Yong prepared for everyone.

In the evening, Tang Yong held a small meeting for us. He said that he would send us to Furong Mountain Scenic Area the next day, where we would rest for a day.One is to get familiar with the environment and prepare for future actions; the other is to relax.The next day, a group of people moved their belongings into a hotel in the scenic area.At ten o'clock in the morning, everyone came to the Crab Creek in Furong Mountain. Its name was to visit and travel, but it was actually to step on plates. There are many tourists in the scenic area, and it turns out that the river there is crystal clear and the water flow is gentle.The water surface of the river is about 20 meters, and there are occasional sandbars on the water. There are long grasses several meters high on the sandbars, accompanied by the long singing of water birds.At first glance, the mountains are undulating and the sky and water are interdependent. It is really a cave on earth, a tourist and leisure resort.

On the side of the water is a cliff as high as 100 meters. The cliff develops vertically. There are many caves on it, and coffins can be vaguely seen inside.Putting the coffin into the cliff hole is only one way of hanging coffin tombs, and some coffins are placed on piles.The ancients drove four wooden stakes on the cliff, and used the four stakes to support the coffins to form cliff coffins.Some hanging coffins are placed between the gaps between two cliffs. There are various ways of hanging coffins, but most of them are cliff-hole type and wooden pile type.These coffins are located about 100 meters high and about 12 or 13 meters low.There are also differences in the location of the coffins. Some are independent cliff caves, some are a large cave for storing more than a dozen coffins, and some more than a dozen coffins are supported by piles to form a plank-like coffin combination.The most unique is the corner of the cliff, where there is a raised stone about the size of a room.The upper end of this stone is smooth, while the lower end is like the root of a big tree. The entire raised cliff is close to the cliff, like a swallow's nest.But under this protruding stone, there are five coffins, arranged in order of height and height. Hanging coffins are the burial habit of some ethnic groups, which means that they are close to heaven.The higher the coffin, the closer to heaven, and the richer its children.Hanging coffins will also form clusters, that is, multiple cliff coffins will appear in the same cliff cave, and multiple hanging coffins will appear in the same trestle bridge.Historians believe that building trestle bridges is a very difficult task. Therefore, people who died at the same time may be buried in one place. At the same time, people from a family may be buried in one place. Like the fourth uncle and the others, our group also took pictures, paying attention to the surrounding geographical environment while taking pictures.The cliffs are relatively smooth, and some caves can be seen, and there are some dwarf trees growing beside the caves.The small mountain peaks in the distance are layer upon layer, with different heights, and the scenery is very beautiful.The most numerous pine trees on this mountain, after passing the Crab Creek, go deep into it, and the scenery is unobstructed.The deeper you go, the fewer tourists there become.Considering that it was still early, everyone decided to go a few kilometers deeper. We walked all the way to the north, and there were few people on the mountain.On the mountainside, we met a herbal farmer who collected herbs. He asked us what we were doing, and I said we were here for tourism.The drug farmer said that the mountain can no longer go in, because it is haunted by ghosts, and no one who entered the village has ever come out.Tang Yong said it was all right, and everyone walked around instead of going deep.The drug farmer was relieved after hearing what we said, and before leaving, he told him in every possible way that he must not go any further. Hearing Yao Nong's introduction, everyone has a bottom line in their hearts, and the front is where we are going.At this time, although everyone was nervous, the goal was approaching, so they quickened their pace and climbed up the mountain.After walking like this for half an hour, everyone saw a temple halfway up the mountain in front of them. Although the temple was not big, the house was clean and tidy, and there was the sound of fish. I don't want to go into this temple, but those who touch gold and fight are very believers in Buddhism, especially veterans like Tang Yong, who will kneel when they meet Buddha and worship every temple.Tang Yong said: "Everyone go to the small temple on the mountain to worship." Qiu Han and I are masters who don't believe in evil. Although I have encountered those messy things in the ancient tomb of the school, I still believe in the fourth uncle. machine gun theory. Hu Songshan seems to believe in Buddha, because she was the first to respond to Tang Yong.Seeing that the beautiful woman was going, everyone had no reason to object, so they rushed up the mountain in a hurry. The road on the mountain is winding and slanting, and even the path leading to the temple is covered with grass.The mountain road is composed of dug stone steps, and the grass grows in the gaps of the stone steps.There are only three monks in the temple, one older and two younger.Two young monks distributed incense to the crowd. After they lit it, each of them kowtowed three times before getting up and preparing to leave. Just when we were about to walk out of the temple, the old monk inside stopped us, and everyone couldn't help but stop.The monk asked: "Several benefactors, do you know who erected the hanging coffin at the foot of the mountain?" Everyone was puzzled and shook their heads.Although everyone knows something about the tombs buried in the Central Plains, they really know very little about this hanging coffin.Don't say who put it in, even if you ask when it was put in, no one knows.Before everyone came, although Tang Yong said that it was a tomb of a minority nationality, they didn't know which nationality it was.And the only one who came here, A Chao, didn't know the characters of the minority, and didn't mention what kind of nationality it was. The monk said, "Do all the benefactors want to know?" Qiu Han didn't understand what the old monk meant, so he said, "We are all poor, teacher and father, we can't donate money." I just heard the old monk say: "I don't want that kind of donation. Let me tell some benefactors that the hanging coffin here is part of the hanging coffin in Furong Mountain. The river under the cliff of the hanging coffin is called Crab Creek, in Luobiao Town. There are also many hanging coffins in Matangba in the north, Caoying in the northeast of the town, and Sumawan in the Nanguanghe area of ​​Luodu Township in the west of the town. It is not clear which dynasty these hanging coffins were built. Anyway, there is this temple At that time, there will be these hanging coffins." Everyone sighed, it turns out that the hanging coffin has such a long history.The old monk said: "The hanging coffin here is commonly called Hangyanzi, and it was made by the Bo people in the past. These Bo people have different names in different historical periods. Sometimes they are called Pu people, and sometimes they are called Bo people." Duzhangren has always been a famous ethnic minority in the Southwest. They established the Boren Kingdom as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Because they were brave and good at fighting, they rarely surrendered to the Central Plains, so they have always had conflicts with the Central Plains rulers." Qiu Han asked: "What does this have to do with us?" The old monk said: "Don't intervene, benefactor, just listen to me slowly. The Bo people were the first to brew liquor, and the Bo people are relatively civilized. This nation is very polite. Therefore, the ruler called these people to be Bo people mean civilized people who can cut thorns. According to legend, when Zhuge Liang attacked Sichuan and Shu, because the Bo people blocked Zhuge Liang's army. Zhuge Liang said that your place is a good mountain, but the tombs are not well buried. The tombs should be buried On the mountain, the harvest is ready. After these people heard this, they all went to put the coffin on the mountain. So Zhuge Liang's army passed through here, and the next year happened to have a good harvest. It has become the burial habit of this nation." Only then did everyone realize that there was still such a story.At this time, Hu Songshan also said: "This Zhuge Liang has always liked to play tricks on others, so he came up with such a bad move." The old monk said: "Legends are legends after all, because these Bo people immigrated from the Baiyue people, and the Baiyue people had a historical tradition of hanging coffins and cliff burials more than 2,600 years ago, so this legend should not be taken seriously." True. This nation has experienced decline and glory several times, and has created a splendid culture in history. But by the Ming Dynasty, this nation had completely disappeared from China.” Everyone was surprised at this moment, and asked why, the monk looked at the crowd and said, "This is actually a mystery in itself." The old monk continued: "These descendants of the Baiyue people are brave and good at fighting. Although they could not escape the fate of becoming the dust of history in the end, the Bo people with a history of more than 2,000 years did not leave nothing behind. As we know The white wine is created by them, and the thousands of hanging coffins are erected by them." Tang Yong paused for a moment and said, "Teacher, I don't know why you told us this." The old monk looked serious and said, "Do you know that you can't go up this mountain?" Tang Yong said suddenly: "Of course I know, I am a professor at the university, and these are my students. We are here to do geological surveys." Unexpectedly, the old monk smiled and said: "You are doing geological survey, very good, very good, could it be that I am old and dim-sighted, and you are not here to rob graves?" Everyone was startled, wondering how this man knew that everyone came to dig zongzi on the mountain. I only heard the old monk continue to say: "You have dark faces on your faces. Although all of you have bright faces, your Yintang is dark. If you come here, you are either a medicine farmer or a tomb robber." I looked at everyone's foreheads. It's dark black, but I ate a lot of pork last night, and everyone's complexion is ruddy. Tang Yong immediately explained: "We didn't know there was a tomb on this mountain." Hearing what Tang Yong said, the old monk said: "Forget it, I hope you didn't come to rob the tomb. This mountain has been closed since the Yuan Dynasty, and this temple was built in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The purpose is to prevent people from straying into the dangerous place. You guys If you are willing to listen to my advice, it is better to leave as soon as possible." Tang Yong smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your guidance. My students are all eager to learn. I also want to teach them more knowledge. Since the master said that the mountain is dangerous, let's go down the mountain." Seeing that everyone agreed to leave, the old monk said with a smile: "The benefactor, go slowly." Everyone returned to the hotel in a daze, feeling very depressed.Thinking of this mysterious nation, everyone murmured in their hearts and felt uneasy about this trip.Especially the old monk said that this mountain has been closed for nearly a thousand years, which shows how dangerous this mountain is.And the drug farmer also told everyone that people go in every year, but people can't get out every year. Speaking of this trip, Uncle Wu, Qiu Han and I came here to find Uncle Fourth.As for the other three, their goals are somewhat complicated, half of them are looking for ancient jade, and half of them are also for fighting.But for Da Xiong and Hu Songshan, this action was more or less curious. Tang Yong seemed to see everyone's confusion, he raised a package and threw it on the ground.Everyone opened it and saw that there were ten grenades, six Type 85 submachine guns, and about 300 rounds of bullets inside.In addition, there is a military kettle, which also contains food such as bread and eggs in bags.On one side of the package, there is a military dagger.Tang Yong also brought everyone mountain combat boots from another bag. These shoes are strong and wear-resistant, suitable for mountain walking.It is said that such shoes will not break after three years in the army. Everyone was in admiration for Tang Yong, but Tang Yong's logistics work was so good that he had to be the team leader.At the beginning, Tang Yong was the captain of the team. I was somewhat dissatisfied and wanted Uncle Wu to be the captain.But now it seems that Uncle Wu has no way to compare with Tang Yong.Although I still don't know anything about Tang Yong's fighting skills, but judging from the job at the general's tomb in the Yuan Dynasty, Tang Yong is very capable. Seeing these equipments, everyone felt excited, and even Uncle Wu was full of confidence.The equipment this time is better than that of the fourth uncle and the others last time. Even I, who has never used a gun, am looking forward to it very much.And Qiu Han was even more excited, he couldn't put it down while touching the gun. Afterwards, everyone changed into mountain combat boots. Tang Yong told everyone to put the dagger in the boot, and then taught everyone how to put and draw the dagger, and also told everyone how to use guns and grenades.It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that everyone gave up.At that time, I thought, sometimes it is not necessary to have a black donkey's hoof or a mahogany sword. With these things, there is nothing to be done.
