Chapter 9 Chapter 8 River

The scene in front of me made me very overwhelmed, my mind was in a mess, and I couldn't even remember whether I accidentally saw this face-like thing before going to bed, or just saw it now. I stared at that face, and quietly turned on the flashlight to shine a light on it. The face suddenly turned pale, but it didn't move like in the dream.I was a little relieved, and found a bamboo pole as tall as a person in the bamboo house. The roof of the house is not very high. Just poked it lightly with a bamboo pole. The white face was still motionless, without any reaction, and I became more courageous. I stepped up the force, poked left and right, and within a few strokes, the thing fell off. backpack on the ground.

I carefully leaned over and observed carefully with the light: this thing is really a mask, the surface is smooth and delicate, like porcelain, it feels cold and hard to the touch, and the weird and terrifying expression makes people feel a chill in the heart, Creepy.I lifted it up and took it to my face to draw, but I didn't dare to put it on my face.I have experienced a lot of things, and I feel that I am a bit of a soldier now, and now that I have gone deep into the border of Yunnan, I am a little worried whether this thing has been planted by some weird Gu. But apart from the fact that it is a porcelain mask, nothing else can be seen about it, and it is not easy to wake up the Maojin knife right now.Thinking of this, he didn't dare to hold it in his hand anymore, and hurriedly threw it out. The mask slid along the bamboo floor and hit the corner of the wall. It just happened to land on the white mask in the corner, revealing something strange on the mask.

When I saw this, I became even more curious, hurried forward and carefully picked up the mask again, looked at it from a different angle, and found something abnormal inside: under the strong light, the mask was crystal clear, like jade, showing There are many crooked black objects sandwiched in the inner layer, which look like little snakes and some kind of characters. Viewed from the front, these black objects disappear again. Viewed from different angles from the side, this The shape of the black object is actually different. I suspect that this is Xuanyu, that is, there are documents and materials hidden inside the jade, and special methods (usually special lighting) are used to project the inner text.The thing in front of me is obviously not jade, let alone Xuanyu, but the principle seems to be the same.With an attitude of giving it a try, I turned off the flashlight, moved the mask to the flame of the candle, and fiddled with it over and over for a while, but there was nothing else projected on the wall except the outline of a round, dark face.I was a little disappointed, but I always felt that this thing must be something famous, and I refused to let it go, so I gently put it in my backpack, and got into the sleeping bag nervously.

It was early morning when I woke up again. Although there were wisps of sunlight trying to break through the obstruction of the dense forest and penetrate into the room we were in, the early morning here still made people feel very cool and peaceful, and it didn’t feel like the nightmare of last night at all. That eerie atmosphere.Er Xia and Mao Jindao had already woken up, and they still refused to get out of their sleeping bags, sticking their heads out and chatting about Dao Dou and women, obviously they didn't know anything about what happened last night. As soon as I woke up, Er Xia said to me directly: "Huanzi is awake! Just now I was chatting with Mao Jindao, what kind of fight do you think we are pouring this time? Don't be so fucking stupid! Snake spirit, then we will be at a loss!"

I stretched my waist and replied: "Your brain is hot, isn't it? Snakes can read Fengshui? Can they build tombs? If so, then let's just train a snake in the local area to do errands, and just let this big snake woman Fang Fang Take out the things we want to pour out, brothers and sisters, let's soak in the hot spring comfortably and wait!" Mao Jindao smiled and said: "Then just train snakes to fight back from now on, we don't have to go into the grave anymore, we are only responsible for contacting buyers every day, and waiting for the money to be soft! Hehe! But to be serious, Yoshiko! How much do you know about this fight?"

Before I could answer, Er Xia interjected: "Anyway, it's aggressive, otherwise the brothers wouldn't call you here. It is said that this is still a big Feng Shui bureau. It is said that it is the palace of the Snake Emperor. I think it is this style, probably it is Which emperor's tomb!" What Er Xia said made some sense. In this place in Yunnan, since the Yuanmou people, there have been traces of human life here.Zhuangjiao Rendian, Qin Kaiwuchidao, and Hanwu Kaidian all had a great influence on the development of Yunnan.Since then, it has experienced vicissitudes and changes, and many regimes have emerged here. The ancient Dian Kingdom, Nanzhao, and Dali have all created many splendid cultures here.In ancient times, because of the remote location and the war, there are not as many historical records as there are in the Central Plains, so there are many legends left behind. In addition, this is a place where ethnic minorities gather, and various mysterious cultures are even more important. It is covered with a thick veil of mystery.

I said to them: "We are not too sure what kind of tomb it is, but we can be sure that it is a human tomb. The snake emperor and the like are just mysteries made by the ancients to scare people! But we must pay attention to snakes, since they are called snakes. In the imperial palace, snakes must be making a lot of noise, there are many poisonous snakes and insects in this place that we have never seen before!" Er Xia obviously realized this early on. Although this guy is very courageous, he can't stand those disgusting things. He could really faint from nausea when he said that there were thousands of snakes crawling around there.

But at the moment he claimed that in order to protect the country's treasures and discover the rare ancient tomb, it's nothing for my second shrimp to be bitten by a snake a few times. . Mao Jindao said: "I heard from Er Xia that someone wanted to cooperate with you before, but you rejected it. But I think, judging from the scale of the Snake Palace Tomb, it is definitely much more dangerous than the Temple of Heaven. Just the three of us I don't know if it will work!" I briefly told him about Liu Shisan and Zhang Puppet going to Shehuan Mountain together. When I mentioned the weird bronze round gate, Mao Jindao's expression became tense, which made me talk I also became nervous, as if I was on the scene.

After chatting for a while, the morning has passed, the fog in the forest gradually dissipated under the sunlight, and the temperature gradually increased.The surrounding air was exceptionally fresh and refreshing, which is something that you can never enjoy in a big city. We got up and cleaned up, breathing the pleasant air and continuing our journey. We don’t even know the name of the place where we are now. We took the map we bought from the bus station, but we couldn’t find it. We didn’t see anyone on the lonely road for half a day. It was in stark contrast to the crowds in the city. Even if it can't catch up with Mongolia and Tibet, where there are no people for a hundred miles, it is enough to be compared.In order to avoid the harassment of those nasty mosquitoes in the forest, we chose the bare path, at the expense of the hot sun and strong ultraviolet radiation, as well as the strong altitude sickness.Although I had already made mental preparations before I came here: to lose a layer of skin and lose a circle of blackness, and to lose ten catties of flesh and lose weight, but once I came to the scene and experienced it myself, I realized that this is not such a simple matter.

Er Xia and I chattered in dialect to adjust the atmosphere. Mao Jindao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.So he asked in Mandarin: "Mao Jindao, what's the matter? It was so hot that I couldn't speak? Seeing that you are silent, what are you thinking?" Mao Jindao didn't answer, turned around and pointed to his ears, signaling us to listen carefully.I saw his melancholy expression, and realized that something was wrong, and immediately stopped talking with Er Xia, and I heard a strange rustling sound, as if something was moving in the grass, but the sound was very strange. It's small, if you don't listen carefully, you won't feel it if you don't listen carefully.

"What? It feels weird! It's like the sound of leaves rubbing against each other." Er Xia asked in amazement. Mao Jindao said seriously: "It seems to have existed since we left, and it has never stopped, I don't know what it is!" After I finished speaking, I immediately waved to the two of them: "Let's go faster! Get out of here asap!" The three of them quickened their pace and walked straight to another fork. A suspension bridge appeared in front of them. There was actually a small river underneath. Looking around, they could clearly see a house standing in the distance on the other side of the bridge. From time to time, a few cars could be seen passing by. It looks like a small market town.Looking at the market town in front of us, we seemed to see delicious food and cold beer all at once, and immediately ran up the bridge. It swayed left and right on it, like swinging on a swing. "Damn it! This bridge can't be walked on. It's just a golden knife. I'm afraid others will say that we are destroying public facilities!" Er Xia wobbled and retreated from the bridge, pointing at the small river, "Brothers, don't you?" Feeling hot? I’m almost turning into a grilled shrimp! No matter what, let’s cool down first.” I looked at the green river plants and the slightly turbid river water, wiped the sweat from my forehead vigorously, and thought of the scene of swimming in Guanyue Lake and the pond in the village in the hot summer, how refreshing it was amazing. It is almost noon now, and the sun is more vicious, baking us mercilessly, so I urgently need to let the river water moisten it.Mao Jindao also felt the same at this moment. The three of them quickly took off their jackets, rolled up their trousers and carried their backpacks, and plunged into the river impatiently. The cold river water soaked us all at once, making us feel unspeakably comfortable. I rolled over comfortably and was about to take a swim when a voice suddenly came from my ear: "What are you doing? Hurry up! Come up!" I looked around in amazement, but I saw someone under the big tree at the end of the suspension bridge at some point, a black and strong man with a crew cut, looking towards us and shouting in Mandarin: "Come up quickly! You can't do it here." Swim!" Er Xia obviously hadn't had enough fun. He was swimming comfortably, but when he was stopped suddenly, he was naturally very upset. He opened his mouth and replied, "Who are you? This is your river? What do you mean?" Mao Jindao reached out his hand to signal him not to worry, and the young man hurried to the bank and said anxiously: "This river cannot swim, and many people have died. Come up quickly! It will be dangerous to meet that thing!"
