Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

After the expedition team got off Beita Mountain, they drove to Hami, where they replenished food and equipment. After some rest, they drove directly to Ejina, Inner Mongolia.I asked some locals about the route in Eqi. After passing the border checkpoint, I drove for more than an hour and arrived at Mazong Mountain in the Black Gobi. The black lama's fortress castle is on the bunker mountain in the south of Mazong mountain. The expedition team arrived at the bunker mountain. The huge sun had already fallen below the horizon, and the ruins of the black lama's fortress were dyed with a layer of fiery red light. Yuan Sen stood on a higher Looking down at the ruins of buildings on the hillside, the broken walls are so red that they seem to be burning.

They entered the fortress while it was still dark, and there were almost only ruins of foundations and few short walls left in the fortress.Yuan Sen remembered Battelle's description of the entrance to the secret passage, and found that it was completely impossible to find it now.After so many years of wind and sand erosion, the buildings in the fortress were devastated, and the few references mentioned by Battelle could not even be found.Looking around, from one end to the other, there are only ruins that can't be seen. The building complex looks the same and it is difficult to identify. Finding the secret entrance to the secret passage is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The expedition team found that it was completely dark, but there were still no clues. The search work was deadlocked, and everyone was helpless. Ai Kailam raised his head from the pile of rocks and said, "Brother Yuan, let's think of another way. If we continue to search like this, it will be difficult to find anything for a year or two." Yuan Sen was also helpless, and couldn't think of a more effective way for a while.The expedition team set up a tent in the ruins in the middle of the fortress, and built a bonfire outside the tent.On the Black Gobi, it was still warm during the day, but not long after it got dark, the temperature dropped suddenly, making people chilly.Everyone barely ate some fast food, and sat around the campfire to discuss what to do next.

They discussed until midnight, but they still couldn't find an effective solution, and everyone was a little bit disappointed.Yuan Sen got up and went to the ruins not far away to find rotten wood to make a fire. After he came down a few times, some of them had already slept in the tents, and Akailam's snoring was particularly loud and pleasant. Wang Hui hadn't slept yet, and she was drawing something back and forth on the ground beside the fire with a stick, Yuan Sen added a few sticks of wood to the fire, and the fire couldn't help but ignite, he said to Wang Hui, "What are you drawing? "

Without raising her head, Wang Hui said, "A sketch of the ruins of the Black Lama Fortress." "Have you found anything?" "No, it's just research—" Yuan Sen said "hmm", added a few more pieces of wood, and said, "Go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow morning to search. There is no other way but to search inch by inch." Wang Hui agreed and continued to draw her lines. Yuan Sen took a sneak peek and saw that the lines on the ground were ups and downs, and the general outline of the ruins came out. Yuan Sen reckoned that there was still a lot to be needed for the bonfire to last all night. If it was extinguished in the middle of the night, no one would be able to sleep in the second half of the night. The low temperature on the Gobi was enough to freeze people to death.Maybe there are wild wolves that come out to forage in the middle of the night on the Black Gobi, and it is very dangerous without a bonfire to drive them away.

He said hello to Wang Hui, and walked towards the ruins downhill. When it was not dark, he looked over there, and there were rows of wooden walls collapsed there, stuck to the masonry rammed earth. Together. Yuan Sen walked a few hundred meters forward, turned his head and looked back, the light from the campfire became much weaker, and the eyes were filled with cold darkness.He turned on the flashlight, and he saw a row of logs with rammed earth stuck to his feet.He knocked off the rammed earth, picked up the wood, and picked up about four pieces. He opened a pile of rammed earth and found a two-meter-long wooden board underneath. .

Yuan Sen's flashlight was placed by the side, but he didn't see clearly what was below, so he didn't dare to move rashly, and hurriedly retreated to a mound of soil.There were quite a few of those things, squeaking like mice. Yuan Sen stood on the mound with one foot, hooked up the flashlight with the other and held it in his hand. He looked under the plank and saw a fleshy gray and white mass swarming out from under it.It was more than a foot long, with its nose turned upside down, and two slender white teeth protruding from its mouth. It had six or eight legs, and it was obviously not a mouse.

They rushed out of the board, ran up and down the trapezoidal ruins, and disappeared into the darkness after a while, and the sound of creaking and creaking in the distance could be heard faintly. Yuan Sen had never seen this kind of creature before, and when he saw the thing rushing out endlessly, he kicked the wooden board with his feet, wanting to take the wooden board and leave without bothering to toss with these things. Before his feet touched the board, two strange creatures jumped more than a foot high and came to bite his feet.Fearing that they were poisonous, Yuan Sen hurriedly retracted his feet. The two things fell down and immediately exploded in the group. Those things jumped and jumped one by one, rushing out like a tide.

Yuan Sen panicked when he saw it, and he didn't dare to touch them rashly. He looked around, trying to find a slope with a more suitable terrain to jump on.At this time, a strange thing suddenly climbed up the mound and bit his foot. He hurriedly used his foot to block it. Yuan Sen was horrified, the strange thing had extremely sharp teeth, and it bit two small holes in the sole of his hard shoe, if so many things bit people, where would people run away. He hopped hastily onto a short wall nearby, and got out of the way.Ai Kailam's cry suddenly sounded in the distance: "Ouch, where did so many rats come from? The **** even bit people. It's against the sky. Even your Ai Ye bit me. I don't know that your Ai Ye even Do you eat rat meat! Oh, it really bites—"

Hearing Ekailam's yelling, and his junior sister Bahargul's yelling, Yuan Sen didn't know well, they went towards the fire, and attacked the people in the tent. Yuan Sen shouted to the top: "Be careful, they are not rats, don't let them bite, run to a higher place first." Ai Kailam on the other end yelled: "Brother Yuan has already discovered these things, and he didn't warn us, it's really meaningless." Those things ran away quickly, Yuan Sen didn't care to look carefully, and ran back with a flashlight, and quickly ran to the campfire, and saw several people surrounded by Akaila wood, and there were a few corpses of strange things on the ground .

Yuan Sen ran over, and Wang Hui was cutting blood on Ai Kailamu's leg with a red-hot scalpel. When Ai Kailamu saw Yuan Sen, he became anxious: "Brother Yuan, look, Master Ai sleeps very well. Alright, these bastards just rushed out and gave Master Ai a bite, you can see that they have swollen so high in less than two minutes." Yuan Sen took a closer look, and Akailamu's injured leg was indeed more swollen than his other leg. Wang Hui squeezed out a pool of black blood for him, and then took out the disinfectant from the medicine box and applied it to him. . Yuan Sen said, "Is there nothing wrong?" Ai Kaila shouted: "There is something wrong, is it okay if it is so swollen to such a height, half of the leg is numb." Wang Hui bandaged Ai Kaila and said, "This kind of poison is not a big deal, it will be fine if the poisonous blood is released." Yuan Sen was relieved now, and he told everyone what he saw just now.Wang Hui frowned and said, "Let's go and have a look!" Yuan Sen took them to the wooden board. Wang Hui uncovered the wooden board. There was a fist-sized hole underneath. Wang Hui said, "To hide so much, it must not be a small hole. We need to dig it." Ai Kailamu limped up to a relatively high broken wall. Hearing what Wang Hui said, he was shocked and said: "So many have come out and dug their nests. What should we do if they entangle us? I don't want to be eaten alive by a bunch of strange mice." Wang Huidao: "There may be a big hole down there." Kang Basa went to the campsite to get a shovel to dig. The ground of the ruins was very solid. Kang Basa dug along the fist-sized hole for more than an hour, and dug a hole two meters deep. There were many dried fruits in the hole. , ceramic fragments and the like, and an iron bowl, but there is no big hole in it. Kang Basa hesitated, and asked Wang Hui, "Assistant Wang, are you still digging?" Wang Huidao: "Keep digging until the end." Kang Basa jumped into the hole again, put the excavated soil into a small bucket, and Yuan Sen lifted the small bucket up to pour out the sand inside.After Kangbasa dug for a while, the soil below became much looser.Wang Hui was keenly aware of it, and she said to Kangbasa: "There must be a big hole down there. Tie a hemp rope around your body and let Akaila wood pull it. Be careful to dig the hole and someone will fall." Combasa nodded.Ai Kaila sat on the dirt wall with a rope tied around his waist, and Kangbasa was tied to the other end of the rope. He didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a hole like a mouse hole. Kangbasa dug the hole to five meters, and suddenly shouted: "The hole has collapsed——" Wang Hui and Bahargul grabbed the rope in a hurry, and Akailamu fell off the dirt wall, fell like a dog and ate shit, and cursed at people in pain. Yuan Sen also ran over to help. He was standing on the edge of the cave just now and heard the sound of a collapse inside. He stabilized the rope and shouted into the cave: "Kangbasa, are you alright?" Kangbasa replied in the cave: "It's okay, you guys pull me up first, there seems to be a big hole down there." As soon as Kang Basa came up, he said to everyone: "Big hole, a very big hole. I estimated that it is at least 30 meters above the ground. The bottom is well repaired. It should be the secret path of the black lama." Wang Hui said: "Okay, let's divide into two groups, one group will pull the rope on the top, and the other group will go down. I suggest Ai Kailamu and Xiaoli stay on top." She looked at Kang Basa and said, "Kang Basa Barcelona was exhausted just now, so stay on top, and Yuan Sen and I will go down." Kambasa disagreed at first, he was very adventurous and had a passion for finding out all dangers.Wang Hui refused to accept his opinion, and asked Bahargul and Akailamu to prepare the rope. Kang Basa had no choice but to help them, and soon a thick hemp rope over 50 meters was ready. After Yuan Sen tied the rope, he had a pistol in his waist, a dagger in his boots, and a folding shovel. He was fully armed, and Kambasa and the others slowly put him down.He went down to the ground and looked around. The cave was quite large, the ground was flat, and there were obvious traces of artificial treatment. The front and back of the cave can't be illuminated, and I don't know which way to go.After a while, Wang Hui was also released, and he helped Wang Hui take off her seat belt. Wang Hui said, "Did you find anything?" Yuan Sen shook his head: "Not yet, I don't know where to go yet." Wang Huidao: "Let's all turn on the walkie-talkie, walk in two directions, and report any discoveries at any time." Yuan Sen chose to go forward, while Wang Hui went backward.While walking, Yuan Sen recalled the process described by Battelle about how his grandfather Nanzd Battelle followed Zahaqin Baylor. What impressed him deeply was that Nanzd Battelle followed Zahaqin Baylor for a long time, and the others were of little practical value. He walked forward for several thousand meters, and found that the cave seemed so long that he couldn't reach the end no matter how he walked, he couldn't help feeling strange, so he connected Wang Hui's walkie-talkie.The walkie-talkie showed that Wang Hui's signal was good. He said a few words, but there was no response. Yuan Sen didn't care too much and kept walking forward. He walked a longer distance, but there was still no reply from Wang Hui. He secretly felt that something was wrong, so he called again, but Wang Hui still didn't reply, only the sound of popping came from there. Yuan Sen knew it was not good, so he hurried back.He ran in the opposite direction for a long distance, even he himself didn't know how far, he knew something happened to Wang Hui.When he was running back, he still did not give up contacting Wang Hui. There was no reply from Wang Hui until he kicked something flying while running. He picked it up and found that it was the walkie-talkie that Wang Hui was using. , and Wang Hui has disappeared. Yuan Sen's heart was pounding. He tried to find traces of the fight where he found the walkie-talkie, but found nothing.Everything around is normal, but there is still a bottomless dark cave ahead. Yuan Sen can only speculate that Wang Hui accidentally dropped the walkie-talkie, which is the most reasonable explanation.However, Yuan Sen always felt that Wang Hui was the kind of person who would never make mistakes. She would never lose the walkie-talkie for no reason. She must have encountered something and lost the walkie-talkie while struggling. Yuan Sen packed up the walkie-talkie and continued walking forward.He stopped running wildly, and observed carefully along the road, for fear of missing some clues. He called Wang Hui's name as he walked, and finally he was sure that something had happened to Wang Hui.So far, the cave has always been connected by one road. The cave is well sealed and the sound can be transmitted to far away places.If Wang Hui just lost the walkie-talkie on the road, she would definitely be able to hear his shouts, but in fact she didn't respond. This cave is very normal, and there is no special situation. How could Wang Hui, who is so good at it, suddenly disappear?Yuan Sen couldn't figure it out even if he tried his best. He went through several caves one after another, and at the entrance of a narrow cave, he found a large iron door with three copper locks hung on the iron door, and the three iron latches were thicker than a human arm. Yuan Sen smashed three copper locks with a gun, and when he pulled the third door bolt, the iron door opened by itself. Yuan Sen hurriedly backed away in fright, and took out a pistol from his waist as quickly as possible. The two iron doors were pushed open with a bang, as if there was a person behind the iron doors. Yuan Sen thought in his throat that it must not be that simple for other people to appear in this kind of place. The door was pushed open, and suddenly a person rolled out from inside. Yuan Sen stepped back a few steps, his heart was beating wildly, and a rush of hot blood rushed straight to his forehead.Without thinking too much, he raised his gun and fired three shots in a row at the person who rolled out. The gunshot hit the forehead, and the person rolled all the way in front of him, and someone rolled over behind him. Yuan Sen's heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out, and he kept screaming in his heart, oh no, he's the only one today, how could he handle so much. He retreated all the way to the entrance of the cave, and then took a flashlight to shine it, and found dozens of people lying on the ground, no, to be exact, dozens of corpses of different styles. The corpses were dressed in various clothes, including animal skins, silk, cloth jackets, and leather jackets. They were all men.The corpse's eye sockets were sunken, and the eyeballs had disappeared. The hands and feet were all dry, leaving only a pile of skinny bones. It looked extremely disgusting. Yuan Sen was relieved to see a pile of corpses.There was only one opening in the iron door, and he went to pull one door open, and the other door was also pushed wide open, and the corpses piled up inside poured in like a tide.Fortunately, Yuan Sen escaped quickly, otherwise he would be crushed under the corpse, and most of the cave was filled with corpses. Yuan Sen watched the unbelievable scene in front of him, and it took him a long time to calm down.He retreated to the entrance of the cave, panting heavily, and kept asking himself, how did these people die? Soon, he thought of another problem. There were corpses stuffed behind the iron gate. Even if Wang Hui was caught by something and the cave was blocked by corpses, she would not be able to get through.In other words, Wang Hui did not take this route at all. Yuan Sen understood this and was completely stunned. She didn't go this way, did she go the other way?Immediately, he denied his own thoughts.The caves here are all lined up in a straight line, no matter how you go, they will definitely bump into each other in the end. He has reached the end, and he didn't even see Wang Hui's shadow, which is so strange. Such a big living person, could it be that he just evaporated from the world? Yuan Sen thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. He went into the cave to observe several corpses carefully, and found that these corpses were all pointing up on their tiptoes before they died.Yuan Sen thought it was an unconscious movement at first, but after looking at other corpses, he realized that almost all of them had this movement, which was strange. He imitated the appearance of the corpse, raised his head, stood on tiptoe, and opened his mouth wide. His mind suddenly cleared up a lot, and he immediately understood what was going on.These corpses were struggling to breathe before they died, that is to say, they were all suffocated to death, and some corpses had ropes, iron chains and the like tied to their hands and feet, which looked like prisoners.Yuan Sen pushed down the mummy pile, and there were not a few corpses tied with chains. In other words, most of these corpses were captives. Yuan Sen recalled that after the black lama was killed, most of his followers were captured. The assassination team of the expeditionary army escorted them back to Mongolia and shot many of them at a place called Hongshishan, but very few prisoners were actually escorted back to China.Why did the expeditionary army shoot and kill the captives in Hongshi Mountain? No one knows the reason, and the Cullen regime did not explain it. At that time, it was a time when people's lives were ignored, and killing thousands of captives was nothing! These people are very similar to the entourage of the black lama captured by the expeditionary army's assassination team. If the above is the Red Rock Mountain, it would be easy to explain why they were suffocated to death in the cave. The entourage of the black lama must also be the one who built the secret road of the fortress. Someone among them may know that there is a secret road exit on the Red Rock Mountain, so they escaped when the escort team reached the Red Rock Mountain. Some of them ran fast and entered the secret road. Unexpectedly, the entrance to the secret passage has been blocked in an important position.The assassination team of the expeditionary army chased to the entrance of the cave and saw so many people hiding in it, crowded everywhere, they shot and killed some of them, but they couldn't kill them, so they blew up the entrance of the cave with bombs.This group of people couldn't get in and out, and the air in the cave was limited, so they all suffocated there in the end. In many places in the world, air-raid shelters were bombed and collapsed, causing people hiding in the cave to suffocate to death.During the War of Resistance Against Japan, more than 8,000 people were suffocated to death in an air-raid shelter in an air raid in Chongqing. These are all proofs. Yuan Sen felt that his speculation was reasonable. Those who failed to escape were shot and killed by the assassination team of the Mongolian Expeditionary Army in Hongshi Mountain, and only a small number of those who did not participate in the escape were successfully escorted to Mongolia for punishment. In other words, the outside of the cave should be the secret exit of the whole cave, and it was obviously wrong for him to go in this direction.The stone mirror of the black lama should be hidden in the cave opposite. He abandoned the corpses, turned and ran in the opposite direction.This time he ran very fast, but he still did not give up along the way, looking for traces that Wang Hui might have left behind, but found nothing. Yuan Sen walked in the cave for a long time, and several forked holes appeared in front of him.This kind of layout Yuan Sen has gone out of his experience. Generally, there is only one road leading to the target location. The other roads are all suspicious formations, and some have hidden traps, making it difficult to get out after entering. There are obvious differences between these caves, some are big and some are small. Yuan Sen reversed his thinking and chose a small cave to go in. After entering, he found that there was a big hole in the small hole, and a small hole in the big hole. In the cave, a stone gate with a length of more than ten meters suddenly appeared in front of him. Yuan Sen had never seen such a long door, or rather, it was a wall with a stone gap in the middle, so Yuan Sen guessed it was a Taoist door. There is a protruding button next to the door, the size of a fist, it should be something like a mechanism. Yuan Sen has gone through various fork roads in various caves, and knows that there may be a problem with this cave. People like the black lama are extremely cunning, so you should be more careful in his territory.So, he was in no rush to press the button. He checked the stone gates on both sides, and found a line of Mongolian characters in the corner of the stone gate on the left. The characters were small and indented, so they couldn't be seen without looking carefully.Yuan Sen didn't know Mongolian, but felt that the writing style of that line was very similar to that of Battelle's grandpa's inscription. He wondered, isn't this a stone gate, but a huge tombstone? Immediately, Yuan Sen felt that his guess was too absurd, but in the territory of black lamas, it is always right to keep a low profile.He knelt down, bowed to that line of words a few times, kowtowed again, and prayed secretly in his heart: "Whether it's a black lama or a ghost, bless you, Master Yuan, quickly find Shi Jing and Wang Hui, and get the things as soon as possible." Get out of here immediately and don't bother me." Yuan Sen kowtowed, suddenly there was a crackling sound at the stone door, he was so frightened that he quickly stood up and stepped aside.The stone gate was separated from the middle, at this moment, a black figure broke in from the hole outside, and quickly got into the stone gate.Yuan Sen was taken aback, he didn't realize what was going on at all, and saw a figure flashing into the door.He hurriedly got into the stone door with a gun, and shone around with a flashlight, and saw that the black shadow was still running forward. Yuan Sen found it very strange. Looking at the back of that person, he definitely could not be Wang Hui. Besides the two of them, there was a third person in the cave?Could it be that when you meet someone who is on the same road looking for a secret way from a black lama, you just wait for him to go to the mine first, and then rush first after passing the trap, for fear that others will snatch things? The man was running fast, Yuan Sen shone a flashlight on him and ignored him, Yuan Sen got anxious and yelled at him: "Stop, if you don't stop, I'm going to shoot you." After all, he fired a shot into the sky.He thought that the black shadow would be frightened, but he didn't know that they ignored him at all and continued to run forward.Yuan Sen sensed that something was wrong. People seemed to think he didn't exist at all, and they ignored him no matter how much they yelled and fired.With his marksmanship, there is no problem at all in shooting the opponent from such a long distance. Furious, Yuan Sen held a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, aimed at the man's head and fired. The bullet almost flew past the man's ear and hit the wall.Yuan Sen was very proud of his marksmanship, but the man didn't stop, and his speed didn't decrease at all. He was still running forward, and the bullet that stuck to his ear didn't scare him at all. Yuan Sen's heart chilled, and he faintly felt scared. Why did this person look so strange? If a normal person encountered this situation, he would have been scared to death, but the figure from the back didn't react at all. Another stone gate appeared in front of the cave, and the black shadow stopped in front of the stone gate, Yuan Sen took the opportunity to catch up with him.Looking at the back of the black shadow, it is a man wearing a mink fur coat, standing in front of the stone gate in a daze.There is a disc the size of a washbasin on the stone gate. The background of the disc is a picture of a Bodhisattva sitting in meditation. There is something the size of a fist in the middle of the disc. Yuan Sen didn't pay attention to the mechanism on the stone gate. He saw that the man was dressed in a leather jacket, and he felt familiar, and he was very similar to the corpses that rushed in from outside the iron gate.Yuan Sen understood immediately. He pointed the gun at the man and shouted, "You are a man or a ghost, tell me quickly!" The man still ignored him, he grabbed the fist-sized thing in the middle of the disk and swung it left and right a few times, the stone gate was separated from the middle, and he entered the stone gate.Yuan Sen stood at the door, hesitating in his heart, should he go in or not?Judging from the current situation, the identity of that person is extremely terrifying, he doesn't look like a living person at all. If you follow him blindly, get confused, and die as a ghost, that would be too wronged. But if he didn't go in, the secret behind the stone gate tickled his heart again. He gritted his teeth for the last time and walked into the stone gate.There is a stone wall behind the stone gate. Yuan Sen walked around the stone wall and saw rows of old boxes inside.With his back still turned to him, the horrible figure was walking up and down among the boxes, as if looking for something.He lowered his head sometimes, and sometimes lay down on the ground and peeked at the gap in the middle of the box, as if someone was hiding inside. Yuan Sen didn't care about the huge pile of boxes, he had clearly felt that this person was absolutely not human.He was doing his own thing, the space where Yuan Sen was located and his space seemed to be independent of each other, and he didn't feel Yuan Sen's existence at all. Yuan Sen felt his hair stand on end for a while, he remembered what happened to him in Beita Mountain.The terrifying shadow of those ten old-fashioned cavalrymen in the stockade resurfaced in his mind, and Yuan Sen kept asking himself in his heart, could this person, like the cavalrymen in the stockade, have died in a burrow before, and his soul was unwilling to leave? The man stood up from the pile of boxes and turned to look at Yuan Sen.Yuan Sen was startled, squatted down hastily, and hid behind the box.He took the opportunity to glance at the man just now. The man had a broad square face with an unshaven beard. It seemed that he hadn't trimmed it for a long time. He wore a bullet belt with a diagonal cross on his chest, and he was also dressed like a bandit. Yuan Sen's heart was beating violently. On such an occasion, he no longer dared to use bullets to test whether the person was a ghost.In the stockade on Beita Mountain, there is Ai Kailamu to take care of him anyway, and the stockade is big enough to hide and hide.The cave has come to an end here, and there is no way to escape if you violate any taboo. He heard his heavy breathing and heart beating like a drum, and felt that the man was walking towards him step by step.He took a deep breath, only to realize that the flashlight was still on, and it was only on his side in the entire cave.He cursed and turned off the flashlight, and the sound of the strange man hitting the box was amplified many times at once, which made Yuan Sen's heart skip a beat. He felt that the man was extremely close to him. Yuan Sensi thought for a while, the man has been turning a blind eye to him, this time it seems that he really found him, since he was found, why hide.He stood out from behind the box, turned on the flashlight, only to find that the man was standing in front of him, with a pair of copper bells glaring at him angrily.Yuan Sen was not a timid person, his legs almost went limp after being stared at like this. Holding up the flashlight to shine on the man's face, he yelled courageously: "Who are you, don't think that I'm just afraid of you because I'm pretending to be a ghost, you Yuan Ye is not a vegetarian." The man didn't even look at Yuan Sen, he just walked past him and went around behind the box where Yuan Sen was hiding just now.There were three or four layers of boxes piled up there, each box was one meter high, and it was unknown what was inside. Yuan Sen stepped aside in fear, and saw the man dragging a person out from behind the box.He suddenly felt strange, why didn't he notice that there was someone hiding inside when he shrank there just now? The man dragged the man out and leaned him against the box again.Yuan Sen wanted to see clearly who the person on the box was, so he moved to the side of the person and took a look with the flashlight. His heart beat like a drum, and the person leaning on the box had no skin on his face, only a dry blur flesh and blood. His heart was beating wildly, and the flesh and blood stretched from his neck to his forehead, as if he had been skinned. Yuan Sen breathed heavily, not knowing what to do.The man arranged the people on the box, kowtowed to him three times on the spot, and then opened a nearby box, which turned out to be full of things like silver dollars, gold bars, and jewelry.Only then did Yuan Sen wake up from his panic, and scanned the entire cave with a flashlight. There are many such boxes. If all the boxes are filled with gold, silver and jewels, then this place is really a treasure trove. He thought at that time that the priceless treasures gathered by the black lama on the Black Gobi were hidden here. This humble cave turned out to be the treasure house of the black lama Tenbi Gyalzan. The man took out a bunch of things from inside and stuffed them into his bosom, turned around and walked out of the stone gate, and disappeared in Yuan Sen's flashlight after a while.Yuan Sen didn't wake up from that terrifying situation for a long time. Yuan Sen was still in shock. He suddenly thought of a question. He had never met that strange man, so he didn't know if he was alive.Still, with so many treasures here, he could at least check that the treasures in the chest were real. Immediately, he opened the box that the weirdo took the treasure just now. The gold, silver and jewels inside were still there. He grabbed a handful. The special softness and coldness of the jewels made him sober up. He kept turning to the bottom of the box, and there were countless treasures underneath , do not know how many. Yuan Sen opened another box, which was full of silver dollars, and he opened several more boxes, which were either silver dollars or copper coins. So many silver dollars are also a great wealth, but copper coins are not worth much.Yuan Sen opened all the remaining more than forty boxes in one breath, most of which were copper coins and silver coins, and there were no such things as jewelry and gold.Most of the black lama's treasures have been turned into a pile of scrap copper after that era, but just taking out that box of treasures is a windfall, no matter how much you spend it, you can't spend it in ten lifetimes of. After Yuan Sen counted the treasures, he remembered the black lama's stone mirror.The stone mirror is a treasure that the black lama regards as his life, and he is likely to put it together with the treasure. When Yuan Sen was counting the boxes, he focused all his attention on the boxes and didn't notice anything else.Only then did he think of the most important link, so he searched the cave before and after. Except for the boxes, there were some discarded guns and ammunition and some rusty cold weapons in the cave. There was not even a single extra stone, more Forget about Shi Jing. After such a toss, Yuan Sen was so tired that he was out of breath. He sat down on a box, opposite to the box was the corpse leaning on the box. The corpse was weird enough, and what was even weirder was that the weird man kowtowed at him. I don't know why, there must be a mystery in it. After resting for a while, Yuan Sen endured the goosebumps all over his body and knelt down to examine the corpse.The corpse was wearing a monk's robe. It seemed that he was a monk before he died. Yuan Sen found a pocket inside the monk's robe. Inside the pocket was a bag of broken silver, a few silver dollars, and a card the size of a palm. There are a bunch of forms on the card, and a photo is pasted on the right, something like a work permit.The photo was very blurry and gray, and I couldn't see it clearly at all.The text in the form is a contrasting version of Mongolian and English, and another language. Yuan Sen only knows English. When he saw that the column of Name was transliterated, he read it again and suddenly felt that there was a problem. This string of English The pronunciation is actually very similar to Nanz de Battelle. At first he thought it was just a coincidence, but after repeating it several times, he realized that the problem was serious.If this certificate belongs to Nanzdbaatar, then the corpse in front of him is Nanzdbaatar himself. In fact, Nanzdbaatar, the No. 1 killer of the Kulun regime, killed the black lama's adjutant Zahaqin Baylor, After getting the map, he returned to the team smoothly. How could he die in the secret passage? Yuan Sen looked at the certificate repeatedly, but couldn't confirm whether the deceased and the certificate matched.He fell into doubts. It is normal for Nanzdbatel to lose things during the process of chasing Zahaqin Baylor.At that time, there should have been only two people in the secret path. The place where the black lama hid his treasure was extremely secret, and no one knew about it except his most trusted adjutant, Zahaqin Baylor.In this way, who could this skinned corpse be? Nanzdebatel had already left the secret passage, and there was only Zahaqin Baylor left. The ID of Nanzdebatel was in the pocket of the corpse, which indicated that the two were related, and the corpse should belong to Zahaqinbaile.The two clashed in the treasure, and Nanzdbatel killed Zahaqin Baylor, which was a logical thing, but Nanzdbatel took Zahaqinbaile's face, which was a little too scary. Yuan Sen tried to obtain more information to confirm that the corpse was Zahaqin Baylor, and searched for a while on the skinned corpse, but found nothing.He simply cut open the monk's robe with a dagger, took off the monk's robe and turned it over, and took off the body's close-fitting clothes, and found a sealed pocket on the close-fitting clothes.Yuan Sen opened the pocket, and there was something wrapped in coarse cloth inside, and when he opened the coarse cloth, there was a rolled oilcloth inside. Yuan Sen found it very strange that the oilcloth could not be the rubbings of Shi Jing's map.He spread the tarpaulin on the ground and shone it with a flashlight, and he collapsed on the ground in fright. He never dreamed that the canvas was a sketch.The person in the painting is lifelike, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his face is elegant and calm. It is Wang Hui, who has been with him countless times. Yuan Sen thought he was too nervous and had hallucinations, so he rubbed his eyes again and then went to look at the painting. Indeed, the character in the painting was Wang Hui.No matter the face or expression, they are all carved out of the same mold. Thanks to the artist's profound skill, he can express the cold temperament in Wang Hui's bones. It is unbelievable that Wang Hui's portrait was found from a body that died in 1924, which completely subverted his worldview. He immediately remembered what happened to them in the ancient city of Iberis in Lop Nur. The mysterious expedition member repeatedly emphasized that Wang Hui participated in the Lop Nur scientific expedition with him in the early 1980s, and then disappeared with the great scientist. the ancient city of Iberias. Yuan Sen scoffed at the strange person's statement at the time, thinking it was ridiculous. How could Wang Hui, a girl in her twenties, become his scientific research teammate decades ago?At most, they look alike. After seeing this painting, he realized how similar Wang Hui was to the person in the painting. He even believed what the weirdo said. Maybe he did have a teammate who was very similar to Wang Hui, just like the person in the painting. All the same, something happened between them.And the person in this painting is obviously different from Luo Xiaoling of the scientific expedition team. There was this portrait in 1924, which shows that this person should have been born at least around 1900. Yuan Sen always felt that Wang Hui was very mysterious. The occasions where she appeared were very strange. In the previous expeditions, the abilities she showed were unimaginable.Yuan Sen was just curious about her at first, thinking that Dr. Tian had countless strange people, and people like Wang Hui could understand.Now the appearance of this painting completely overturned the image of Wang Hui in his mind. He knew that there must be something wrong with Wang Hui. Even if it was just a coincidence, the person in the painting looked like Luo Xiaoling from the scientific expedition team, and it would not be such a coincidence. .Wang Hui disappeared silently in the secret passage, where did she go? All of Yuan Sen's thoughts were disrupted, and many of his previous judgments were overturned because of the appearance of this painting.He even felt that Wang Hui might not be his teammate, she was just hiding in their team, waiting for an opportunity, or looking for something she needed. 袁森又作了一个假设，也许王慧偷偷找到了黑喇嘛的宝藏，尸体身上的画像是她自己塞进去的，她这样做的目的不得而知，不过事情她还是做了，目的就是蛊惑他姓袁的。袁森很快就推翻了这种假设。两道石门都有机关，第一道石门是他无意中打开的，第二道石门的开关程序非常复杂，袁森看着黑影左转几下、右转几下，每次转动的位置都有讲究，王慧事先不知道的话，不可能进石门。 推翻了这个假设，他就得出了一个结论，在1924年之前和二十世纪八十年代初，各出现了一个跟王慧一模一样的人。 袁森想到这里，背上全是冷汗，整个人就跟大病了一场似的，心里极度绝望，他觉得自己的世界观被完全颠覆了。 接着，他又想起那个指引他找到黑喇嘛的宝藏的怪人，尸体是扎哈沁贝勒，南兹德巴特尔带着地图出了密道，那个怪人又是谁？ 他觉得怪人才是解开谜团的关键，他现在还不知道那怪人是何物，只是觉得异常恐惧，又满心疑问，他需要一个解开秘密的出口。 袁森把王慧的画像和南兹德巴特尔的证件装进背包，又从箱子里拿了一株火红的珊瑚树、若干珠宝塞进背包里。他现在心里全是疑问，面对着宝藏，也觉得没有刚看到它时那么激动。 他出了石门，顺着原路返回，一直走到最初的岔洞口，也没再见到那个幽灵一样的怪人。袁森在岔路口选了最大的一个洞口进去，那个洞是笔直的，有几处机关已经被人触发，机弩箭掉了一地，两边洞壁上露出拳头大的机弩射击孔，透过孔道可以看到机弩锈蚀得厉害，已经不能击发了。 前面还有一段烧焦了的地段，袁森从焦土里翻出没烧干净的硫黄，猜这里原来设计了机关，一旦触发几十米范围内的硫黄就会自行燃烧，埋有硫黄的区域里的东西全都会被烧成灰烬，这一招在许多帝王陵墓里都会用到。 黑喇嘛以血腥著称，他的藏宝地里用上再恶毒的机关也很正常。 袁森觉得有点奇怪，他的藏宝洞里都没用上的机关，设在这里做什么，难道里面有更有价值的宝物？ 如果那条道不是迷惑人送死的迷局，就一定藏着价值连城的宝物，袁森第一个想到的就是黑喇嘛的石镜。 从这条道布局来看，黑喇嘛对石镜的重视程度远高于他的宝藏，袁森特别小心。石镜是黑喇嘛看得比命还重要的东西，一路上的机关暗器肯定不会少，他经过的机关都被人蹚过，也许暗中有没有清除干净的，谁也说不定。 袁森穿过五处机关险境，山洞深处突然传来一声枪响，袁森心头一震，急忙朝前面奔过去。那声枪响在长长的山洞里形成回音，传到袁森耳朵里极其尖锐，袁森很紧张，按常理推测，应该是王慧开的枪。 不过黑喇嘛的密道里太过诡异，到底是什么情况，没亲眼看到，他还不能下定论。 他跑过几个迂回的山洞，就看到里面射出手电光。袁森被照得眼前一黑，陷入短暂致盲状态，他冲里面叫道：“是谁？” 袁森隐约觉得光柱晃到他面前，无奈他眼睛怎么睁都只能看到隐隐约约的光。一个黑影冲到他面前，他吓了一跳，就要往边上避让。迎面过来的黑影抓住他的手，拖着他就往回跑，他感觉那只手细腻柔软，知道是王慧才没反抗。 王慧拖着他跑了几个山洞，藏在一片山石掩体后面，袁森的眼睛渐渐正常起来，看到王慧一脸热汗，短发乱乱地散在额前，正从石头后面探出头朝外面观望。她表情很专注，看不出来有任何异常的情况，一只手上缠着绷带，上面渗出血迹。 袁森偷偷打量了她一番，实在不能相信他之前的推测。王慧是有问题的，而且还不是一般的谍中谍那么简单，她的问题很复杂。 王慧可能感觉到袁森在偷看她，扭过头来道：“怎么了？” 袁森发现她任何时候说话都是不带感情的，那种冷冰冰的感觉似一种高傲，又似一种魅力。比如他发现艾凯拉木最近就特别愿意和王慧说话，虽然王慧不怎么搭理他，他还是特别卖力地找她唠嗑。 袁森道：“你受伤了？” 王慧道：“没什么事儿，密道里有问题，我遇到一个很奇怪的黑影，和他发生冲突，子弹擦破了手。” 袁森觉得有问题：“一个黑影？” 王慧道：“我从那一头追他到这头，转了无数山洞，他的行为非常奇怪，我射了他几枪都没办法伤到他。” 袁森道：“可是，密道里只有我们两个人，哪里来的黑影？” 王慧扫了袁森一眼，说：“事实上就是有这么个东西，他很可怕。” 说完，她扭过头去，继续观察山洞深处。突然，她抬枪朝前面打了几枪，袁森侧头一看，一个黑影在手电光尽头一闪，很快就消失在山洞深处了。 袁森道：“那影子是个什么东西？” 王慧道：“我追了他一个多小时，到现在都没看清楚他的样子，你也可以去试试。” 说罢，她举着手电筒，提枪出了山壁掩体，追着黑影子去了。袁森凭那一眼，没办法判断黑影是不是那个兽皮怪人，他也不能确定密道里是不是只有那一个怪人，便跟上王慧的步伐，掏枪在手。 袁森见到王慧，之前对她的所有怀疑顿时烟消云散。活生生的人在他面前，他便觉得王慧很正常，她的一举一动都是合情合理的，她没有隐瞒，更没有阴谋，甚至那些惊悚的推测，他都觉得只是一种奇怪的巧合而已。 他们追到一座山洞前停下来，深入山洞的黑影没再出现，那山洞有一大半塌了，碎石夯土块横挡在路上。袁森越过石头堆，发现被挡住的洞口上有部分没塌的石墙，推测这里原来是一道机关，被人用暴力炸开了。 袁森先进去，穿过一条长洞，前面就是一个房间大小的洞穴，山洞里石头砌得非常平整。 石室中间摆着两尊雕塑，一前一后，靠里面有一面石台被雕塑挡着。 袁森觉得奇怪，摆了这么多机关，就放两尊雕塑，应该不止这么简单。雕塑背对着山洞入口，袁森绕到雕塑前面，距石台近一些的是个身材魁梧、头发奇长的壮汉，一只手朝天举着枪，表情霸道彪悍，不可一世的样子。 袁森看完前面那人，又去看第二尊雕塑，王慧突然尖叫起来：“这是黑喇嘛的石镜。” 王慧的尖叫吓了袁森一跳，他还是第一次听见王慧这么激动，急忙跑到石台边上，王慧正用手电筒照着石台，半个身子都趴了上去，认真地看着什么。 那是一个打磨得非常光滑的石面，石面上能反射手电光，袁森乍一看，只看到亮光闪闪，里面是半个王慧的脸。要趴在石台上盯着镜面细看，才能看到细细密密的线条，一条条线纵横交错，勾勒出陆地、海洋、森林等地方。 王慧道：“这地图不对——” 袁森一颗激动的心又悬起来，凑到王慧身边，王慧指着地图最中心的一块，说：“你看这手指甲那么大的一块，被人毁了。” 袁森爬过去，王慧指的那一块地方果然有利器划过的痕迹，把本来精细的线条都划断了，剩下一堆杂乱的线。 袁森看不明白地图内容，这一片区域他非常陌生，但是海岸线他很清楚，地图上标注的地方绝不会是新疆，被划掉的那一块四周环海，应该是一座海岛。 他有点束手无策，不知道那块地方在整张地图上是否重要，便问道：“毁掉的那块是不是关系全局？” 王慧停了一下，扭头看着他，说：“那里就是最核心的地方。” 袁森有点着急，道：“那这张地图岂不是毁了？” 王慧脸色很难看，她掏出微型照相机，让袁森举着手电筒给光，她从不同角度拍了十多张照片。拍完之后，她对袁森说：“还不能确定具体位置，回去之后我们对比世界地图，确定这个地方再慢慢找，只要找对位置，总是可以找到那个地方的。” “那个地方是哪里？” 王慧叹了口气，说：“我也不知道，黑喇嘛的要塞我们也没来错，还是收获很大的。” 袁森点了点头，王慧已经开始收拾背包了，袁森有些担心这张被毁的地图是否能发挥它的价值，要是地图再步了拉甫乔克的铁箱子的后尘，到头来又是一场空，袁森就真有点受不了了。 王慧整理好了背包，对袁森说：“走吧，出去时还是要小心，那个黑影子一直在密道里，会趁机暗算——” 袁森点点头，就要走，忽然他指着两尊雕塑，对王慧说：“黑喇嘛在石镜面前摆两尊雕塑做什么？” 王慧抬头看着雕塑，袁森突然醒悟过来，指着前面那尊霸气十足的，说：“我明白了，他就是黑喇嘛。” 王慧道：“应该是，你看他的眼神里全是贪婪和欲望，黑喇嘛一直盯着石镜上的地图，他想得到它。” “得到什么？” “可能是地图上的东西，有某个东西藏在地图上的某个位置。你看黑喇嘛的表情，那东西想必价值连城。”王慧道。 袁森仔细看黑喇嘛的表情，还真有这种感觉，他对王慧又刮目相看了，她总是可以通过一些小细节来得出充分的结论。 袁森纳闷的是，按理说，黑喇嘛迫切想得到石镜地图中的东西，应该要根据地图上标的位置去找，他却在密道里用石头仿制出一面石镜，又把自己的石像放在石镜旁边，让石像贪恋地看着，到底是什么意图呢？ 他的眼神欲火炽烈，一副志在必得的样子，可见石镜中的东西对他有多大的诱惑力。在这么强烈的欲望驱使下，他应该会不顾一切地去找石镜上的东西。他把雕塑立在这里是明志，还是另有目的？ 袁森怎么想也想不明白，王慧走到另外一尊石像面前，袁森被挡着，不过他完全可以猜到第二具石像就是黑喇嘛最信任的副官扎哈沁贝勒。 他绕过黑喇嘛，一下子看到扎哈沁贝勒的脸，吓得他眼前一黑，差点瘫坐在地上。王慧扶住他，奇怪道：“你怎么回事？” 袁森扶着黑喇嘛像慢慢坐下来，他脸色惨白，连气都有点喘不过来，事实的残酷性超出了他的想象。 他做梦也没想到扎哈沁贝勒居然是黑喇嘛的藏宝洞里那个怪人，由此推断，那个他拖出来无脸的尸体，就不可能是他本人。当时黑喇嘛密道里一共只有两个人，这么说被扒面皮的尸体应该是南兹德巴特尔才对。 袁森只觉得自己可笑，他从尸体身上找到身份证件的时候，还拼命找借口否定尸体就是南兹德巴特尔的事实。两个人进密道，一个死在密道，那么另外一个出去的人，势必就是黑喇嘛的副官扎哈沁贝勒。 扎哈沁贝勒出去之后，摇身一变成了暗杀队先遣官南兹德巴特尔，他能瞒过那么多克格勃顶级特工，必定有过人之处。南兹德巴特尔的脸皮被扒，应该就是扎哈沁贝勒所为，他借用南兹德巴特尔的脸骗过了所有人。 南兹德巴特尔私下调查黑喇嘛头颅不化的秘密，巴特尔说他爷爷是因为好奇才作出这个错误决定，这个理由很荒谬。南兹德巴特尔是从苏联克格勃出来的一级特工，无条件执行命令是入行前提，他怎么会傻到只是因为好奇，就大逆不道地去调查他的上级和苏联高官。 袁森想到这里，才明白自己有多愚蠢，他当时竟然全信了巴特尔的话。也许巴特尔没有骗他，而是他爷爷口述经过之时，随口编的一个理由，他袁森竟然没有听出来。 库伦政权第一杀手南兹德巴特尔在密道里被杀，扎哈沁贝勒没有带着石镜地图远走高飞，而是选择化装成南兹德巴特尔的样子潜回库伦，试图打探消息。他和黑喇嘛都没有能力找到石镜地图上的地方，想借助苏联强大的力量，找到那个地方，他再趁机渗透，坐收渔翁之利。没想到潜伏过程中被暴露，才出了一条下策，带着南兹德巴特尔的一帮属下，逃出库伦上了北塔山，学黑喇嘛占山为王。 袁森把思路理顺，心里就舒坦多了，他在地上休息了片刻，就要起来。王慧在他肩膀上摁了一下，蹲下来，直视着袁森的眼睛。她的眼神尖锐如最锋利的刀，袁森被她看得很不自在。 王慧道：“你心里一定有大事瞒着我，是不是？” 袁森摇头，道：“没有，我只是突然不太舒服，这里的空气太差了，我们赶紧出去吧。” 王慧看他的眼神复杂，松开了手，袁森站起来，说：“有些事情我还没想清楚，弄明白之后，我会主动告诉你的。” 王慧冷冷道：“没必要。” 说罢，她提枪出了石室。袁森跟在她后面，他一手举手电筒，一手提枪。知道那个怪人就是黑喇嘛的副官扎哈沁贝勒后，袁森更觉得此人危险无比，他弄不清楚他到底是人还是幽灵，或者其他什么东西，他只是觉得此人太可怕了，他必须小心着他。 他们出了山洞，一直走到下来的地方，扎哈沁贝勒仍然没有再出现。袁森觉得非常蹊跷，他们得到了石镜地图，他为什么不出来阻拦？或者说，石镜地图上那最重要的一块就是他划掉的，他知道没有那一块，他们得到地图也没有用，一切都是白搭？ 袁森心事重重，王慧用对讲机联系了守在上面的人，艾凯拉木和康巴萨放下绳子，袁森帮王慧绑好绳子，艾凯拉木他们拉着绳子将王慧缓缓拉了上去。 王慧在上面一直升到顶端窄洞，没过多久就不见了。袁森朝四周晃着手电筒，这一切真相让他有点难以接受，他觉得回去之后，有必要再去一趟北塔山找巴特尔，挖开他爷爷南兹德巴特尔的坟墓，看看老头子是不是真死了。 不过，首先得想办法说服巴特尔不跟他拼命。 他正胡思乱想着，手电光扫到洞穴深处，照到那里有个黑影子一闪。袁森心里一紧，再照过去，就看到扎哈沁贝勒站在手电光柱边缘，静静地看着他，不叫喊，也不说话，就这么一直沉默着。 袁森突然害怕起来，他给自己壮了下胆，大声喊道：“扎哈沁贝勒，你是扎哈沁贝勒对不对？” 艾凯拉木的长绳子从上面垂下来，碰到袁森的头，袁森才注意到。他喊了一阵，扎哈沁贝勒像没听见似的，就这么望着他。袁森心底发麻，给自己绑上绳子，又用对讲机对艾凯拉木发了信号。艾凯拉木拉着他缓缓升上半空。 袁森上升的过程中，一直不敢再朝下照，到快出地洞时，他实在忍不住向下望了一眼，正好看到扎哈沁贝勒站在他原来站的位置，朝上面张望，袁森的身体一歪，差点打横着掉下深洞。幸亏康巴萨手快抓住他的肩膀，把他拉了上去。 袁森躺在洞边喘气，不知不觉中，天已经很亮了。他看到王慧坐在一堵断墙上休息，就对她说：“我刚才看到扎哈沁贝勒就在下面，就是地洞的下面。” 王慧淡淡地说：“哦。”
