Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Mazar

Old Germain and the strange man carried the coffin into the wooden array.After a while, Yuan Sen rushed in too. The cubic forest is full of wooden shadows, and those shadows are intertwined and stacked, like lying corpses, which may jump up and pounce on people at any time. The old man Germain and his companions shuttled quickly between the logs, and from time to time they could hear the sound of the coffin hitting the wooden pillar and the sound of feet stepping on the sand.These woods have been exposed to wind and sun for many years, and they have obviously been eroded and hollowed out, giving people a feeling of being pushed down.

The two were less than 40 or 50 meters away from the old man Germain, and they could only see their backs moving in the wood, and they did not dare to get too close.The gaps in the cubic forest are limited, the moonlight coming through is covered by heavy shadows, and the visibility is not high. They walk very fast, and it is easy to hit the wood. Once they hit it, there will be a muffled sound. When they get close, it will cause Germain their attention. They were not very worried about Germain. When they were in the Populus euphratica forest, Germain stared at them for a long time without any reaction. He turned around and left, as if he neither knew them nor was hostile to them.But the guy next to Germain was more troublesome. He was suspicious along the way, turned his head to look behind several times, and stopped suddenly from time to time. Yuan Sen and the others were extremely nervous.

Baharguli suddenly held Yuan Sen back, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I found something wrong here." Yuan Sen hummed, and said, "A wooden array appeared out of thin air in the middle of the desert. There must be something wrong. You can't find anything else, right?" Bahargul's face was full of fear, and he said: "There is another problem, I—I heard someone talking to me—" Yuan Sen's heart moved, and he said, "I was talking to you, what did you hear?" Bahargul said: "It's a very strange voice. They speak very fast. I can't understand it at all. It sounds like a wizard and a witch chanting a spell. It's so strange."

Yuan Sen immediately thought of the scene in the underground space of the Flame Mountain, and said, "Are you still talking? Could it be that the wooden array can also record the sounds of the past?" Bahar Guli nodded and said, "It's strange, brother, why didn't you hear it?" Yuan Sen nodded and said, "I didn't hear it. Have you brought recording equipment? See if you can record it." Bahargul took out a recording pen from her travel bag and pressed the recording button. After about two minutes, she pressed the stop button and said, "The sound is gone."

She pressed the play button again, and a woman's voice was slowly released from the recorder. The voice was speaking very fast. This voice was completely different from the strange voice Yuan Sen heard in the underground space of the Flaming Mountain. According to common sense, it should be two kinds of voices. completely different language.The woman spoke a lot quickly, and Yuan Sen had no way of judging what she was talking about, as if she was arguing or complaining, so people were confused. Baharguli turned off the recorder and said, "Brother, isn't it weird?" Yuan Sen nodded, and said: "I heard this strange sound in the underground space of the Flame Mountain. We judge that the underground space has a memory function, but as long as the sound appears, everyone present can hear it. Why do you hear the sound here? I can hear and record, but I can’t hear it?”

Bahar Guli shook her head blankly, then said excitedly: "Brother, can I be psychic?" Yuan Sen slapped her on the head hard, and said, "When is it, you're still joking." After such a lot of tossing, old Germain has long since disappeared. Yuan Sen was impatient for a while, and after chasing for so long, he lost it again.They speeded up and drove for a while, and they couldn't tell the direction at all. There were exactly the same wooden pillars everywhere, and it didn't matter which direction they went. Yuan Sen cried out inwardly. After going around like this, he couldn't even find the direction to come in, and he didn't know how big the wooden forest was. If he couldn't get out, he would have to be trapped in it.

As the night darkened, the full moon in the desert gradually faded, and the moonlight also gradually faded. The wood forest immediately became much darker, and the psychological pressure on the two of them increased a lot. Not long after, the waning moon also disappeared.A flock of crows flew out from nowhere, and the crows stood on the wood and yelled, the sound was extremely piercing and frightening. Baharguli turned on the flashlight, and the strong light tore through the darkness. Yuan Sen's eyes were stimulated by the light, and he became blind for a few seconds. He rubbed his eyes, and then heard a voice in his ear, still a female voice, saying It was also in that strange language that he didn't understand.

Seeing Yuan Sen standing in a daze, Baharguli was startled and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Yuan Sen whispered: "I heard that voice too, she was talking to me, didn't you hear it?" Bahar Gul shook his head.Yuan Sen asked her for a recording pen, and after recording for seven or eight minutes, the voice disappeared again.Yuan Sen recovered from the short-term deafness that occurred when the strange sound disappeared, and the sound of soft footsteps rang in his ears.Bahargul was looking around with a flashlight. Yuan Sen signaled her to turn off the light, dragged her to hide behind a thick log, and the sound of light footsteps disappeared immediately.

Yuan Sen was feeling strange, when suddenly a black muzzle of a gun pressed against his head, Yuan Sen's heart sank, and he said in a low voice, "Who is your Excellency?" A hoarse voice sounded in his ear, "Young man, long time no see—" This voice was very familiar to Yuan Sen, and there was probably no other weirder or uglier voice than this one in the world. He was the strange man who was chased by Wang Hui in the Populus euphratica forest. Yuan Sen was holding a flashlight in his hand, and the gun was pinned to his waist belt. He couldn't make any effective response. He decided to stabilize the strange man first, and said, "Where did the woman who chased you go?"

The strange man seemed very angry, and said: "Don't mention that woman, I almost fell into her hands, I didn't expect you to have such a good hand, it's really strange." Yuan Sen sneered and said, "A loss? That means you didn't get what you wanted?" The strange man tried his best, and Yuan Sen's forehead hurt. The strange man sneered, "She can't run away either. That thing will belong to me sooner or later. I will kill you one by one first, and then I will deal with her." As the weirdo spoke, the force in his hand was even stronger. Yuan Sen could even hear the sound of the gun rubbing against the gun body when the trigger was pressed. He felt a pang of regret in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel pity. He thought to himself, is this the end of the game?

The sound of the trigger being pressed gradually approached, and Yuan Sen repeatedly thought about the means of giving it a go in a very short time. At this moment, he only felt his body lighten, and he was dragged out. At the same time, the gunfire of the weirdo rang in his ears, and he heard the sound of bullets hitting the wood.The person who rescued him pushed him to the ground, but before he could react, the strange man shot indiscriminately again, and the person who rescued him threw himself on him, and the sand particles raised by the bullets hit his face, which was painful. The weird Ye Xiao smiled strangely, and said, "What a quick skill——really fucking fast—" Yuan Sen only felt his body lighten, and heard the man roll out.Then, the weirdo's laughter stopped, and both of them were thrown down, and several nearby logs were knocked off, making a rattling sound. Yuan Sen hurriedly jumped up and turned on the flashlight. He saw Wang Hui and the strange man hugging each other and rolling in the yellow sand. Both sides punched and kicked fiercely, and neither of them seemed to be defeated.Junior sister Bahar Guli shrank into a ball behind him. Yuan Sen handed the flashlight to Baharguli and said, "Shoot it well, don't take it wrong, I'll help Assistant Wang." Hugging the strange man's neck, Wang Hui punched the strange man in the chest.The strange man rolled his eyes wildly, raised his knees and turned Wang Hui over, and threw his head back, resting on Yuan Sen's chest.When he struck casually, Yuan Sen felt as if he had been knocked down by a wild animal, his chest felt uncomfortable for a while, and stars appeared in his eyes.As soon as Yuan Sen let go, the strange man slipped out and rushed straight at Wang Hui. Wang Hui stood up and raised his gun to shoot. The strange man was caught off guard and hurried to the back of the wooden pillar, but was shot in the heel by Wang Hui. He never looked back, and ran away without a trace. Yuan Sen regained his composure. Wang Hui was packing his backpack. Yuan Sen said, "Assistant Wang, thank you very much." Wang Hui said lightly: "No need..." She put on her backpack, pointed to a wooden peg ten meters away, and said, "They buried Ai Kaila wood, you go and dig him out." Yuan Sen was stunned, with mixed emotions in his heart, and said, "You said Ai Kaila died?" Wang Hui tightened the belt of her backpack and said, "I didn't die, so I buried it. It should still be alive, so dig it out." Yuan Sen didn't ask any more questions. He took out the folding engineering shovel and started digging.He and Bahargul had just passed by the wooden pillar and hadn't seen the ground. The soil around the wooden pillar was new, obviously, it had just been turned over. He dug down the wooden peg as fast as he could, revealing a dilapidated canoe-shaped coffin. He dug up the surrounding soil and dug out the coffin, and Akailamu's low-pitched curses could be heard from inside. Yuan Sen was overjoyed and lifted the lid of the coffin. Ai Kailamu was tied up like a rice dumpling and curled up inside the coffin, with his mouth blocked by a rag. Yuan Sen took out the rag from his mouth. Akailam took a deep breath and kept rolling his eyes. Seeing that it was Yuan Sen, he said angrily, "I thought it was Germain and Ali Puna. The bastard came to amuse me again, and prepared a full stomach of swear words, where are the two grandchildren?" Yuan Sen took out his dagger to cut the rope for him, and said curiously, "I've seen Germain before, where did Ali Pu come from?" Ai Kailamu pulled the broken rope, got out of the coffin, and shouted: "Evil door, really evil door, Germain is alive, and so is Alipuna kid. I clearly saw their corpses, why did they all suddenly die?" alive?" "Did you see that Ali Pu was alive?" Yuan Sen emphasized again.He felt that something was wrong. Germain came back from the dead, and Alipu also came back from the dead. He was obviously a dead person, how could he be resurrected after being resurrected? There was a stench of corpses on Ekailam's body, and he frowned when he smelled it. He couldn't stand it, so he grabbed a handful of yellow sand from the ground and rubbed it on his clothes. "No mistake, I was stuffed into the coffin by Germain's dead old man and carried it for several miles. The coffin was very broken, and I saw Ali Pu walking side by side with Germain through the opening. That's right. Those two bastards Carry me to this ghost place, dig a hole and bury him without saying a word." Ai Kaila was so angry that his teeth itch. Yuan Sen immediately understood, and said, "The person who walked with Germain turned out to be Alipu." Wang Hui leaned against the standing tree to wipe the gun and dagger. She was more indifferent now than before. Only her beautiful and refined face proved that she was a woman. Yuan Sen said: "Assistant Wang, do you also believe that Germain and Alipu are resurrected?" Without raising her head, Wang Hui said, "A little bit of faith, but also a little bit of disbelief—" Yuan Sen continued: "I met Germain face-to-face in the Populus euphratica forest, and he no longer knew me at all. When he saw me, he turned his head and left without stopping." Wang Huidao: "According to my observation, it is still not sure whether Germain and the person disguised as Germain are the same person, their body movements are very similar. However, it is possible that they are the same person, because Germain and the person disguised as him People never show up at the same time. Ari Pu, I can't judge." Yuan Sen said: "They are just similar in stature, the stitches on their necks are similar, but their faces are completely different." Wang Hui put the polished dagger back into its sheath, and said: "It's not difficult to make up the appearance to be exactly the same. The difficulty lies in the same speech, movement, and demeanor. Germain's movements are very similar to those of weirdos. He himself was alive differently, so I think something is wrong with Germain." What Wang Hui said was very reasonable. Yuan Sen followed the old man Germain all the way, only felt that all his actions were completely abnormal, but did not find these characteristics, so he couldn't help admiring Wang Hui greatly.Ai Kailam clapped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, damn it, that's exactly what happened. Why didn't I think that these people are just bluffing people, and they are afraid of bullets if they really jump dead alive?" Wang Huidao: "I'm just speculating, there's no way to prove it. This is the Mazar of the ancestors of the Lobu people. Don't move around before dawn, otherwise something will happen." "The thing they are looking for is still in your hands, and it will definitely not go far." Yuan Sen said worriedly. Wang Hui closed her eyes and did not reply to Yuan Sen's words. She held a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other. Yuan Sen and Ai Kailam each found a standing tree and sat down against each other.Ai Kailam sat for a while, then stood up again, and said: "No, there is a dead body buried under every log, so it's not good to sit on someone's grave like this." Yuan Sen glanced at him and said, "Would you like to sit or not?" Baharguli had already calmed down, and he chimed in, saying, "That's right, bearded people are troublesome and hypocritical. Have you forgotten that you used to be a tomb robber?" Ai Kailam moved to Yuan Sen's side, and Yuan Sen covered his nose and fled to Bahar Guli, Bahar Guli moved a place for him to sit down. Ai Kaila was not happy anymore, and said: "Boy, I still despise Master Ai." Yuan Sen said, "The smell of corpses is too strong." Ai Kailam was so angry that he rolled his eyes, grabbed another handful of yellow sand and rubbed it on the leather jacket, Baharguli dragged Yuan Sen and said, "That's right, my senior brother is different from you, how can you be as dirty as you." Ai Kaila got angry and said: "There is no one in our line of work who is not dirty, little girl, don't tell me, your senior brother hugged you a lot in the Huoyan Mountain and the tomb of Hambar Ata God." The dead body is dirtier and smellier than Lao Tzu." Bahargul glared at him.Yuan Sen took off his backpack and took a nap against it.The night in the desert is extremely cold, it is so cold that people shiver, and the yellow sand under the buttocks is like ice, which quickly lowers the body temperature.Baharguli leaned against Yuan Sen to keep warm, and Akailam tried to get closer, but Baharguli glared back. Akailam found a standing tree close to them and sat down, and said mysteriously: "You really dare to sleep, and you are not afraid—" He got stuck in the middle of his speech, deliberately teasing Baharguli's appetite, and Baharguli really caught the trick, saying: "What are you afraid of?" Ai Kailam continued to say mysteriously: "Think about it, I and Assistant Wang have seen the corpses of Germain and Ali Pu with their own eyes. They are really dead. Germain is carrying me, and I can see clearly. That face is a little pale, but it is impossible to make up, it is a real face, a face that is swollen after death. Assistant Wang also said that we are sleeping in the cemetery of the ancestors of the Rob people, and we cannot guarantee what will happen Son, the living jumping corpses have come out, you still dare to sleep?" Ai Kailam's words made Bahargul's heart skip a beat, Yuan Sen let out a low snoring sound, and Wang Hui didn't know if she was asleep or resting.Mazari was unusually quiet, and the group of screaming crows didn't know where they flew at the moment, only the cold wind blew from time to time, blowing something down and making a strange noise. Bahargul's performance made Akailam very satisfied, and this was his revenge. Akailam felt that he was a man, and it didn't matter if he was wronged by a woman, but he could do a little bit of small things. It's not impossible to plan revenge. Bahargul was so frightened by Akairam, plus he was cold and hungry, so he couldn't sleep.She took a flashlight and took a look around. The standing trees elongated their shadows under the beam of the flashlight. So many shadows intersected with each other and set off the decayed standing trees. Each standing tree was rendered eerie, like a dead corpse.Bahar Gul frightened himself and almost collapsed. At this moment, she suddenly noticed three figures appearing about 50 meters in front of her.At first she thought it was the shadow cast by the standing tree, but after a closer look, she found that it was wrong. It was indeed three people, one of them was wearing a leather felt hat, very much like old Germain. Bahargul hurriedly went to pat Akailam, but Akailam wanted to hurt her again. Bahargul pointed at the opposite side, and Akailam couldn't close his wide mouth. His eyesight is very good, there are indeed three people standing there, behind them is a tall standing tree, the three are Germain, Aripu and a strange person who looks like Germain in turn, the three of them stared at him coldly. They don't know what to do next. Ai Kailam went to call Yuan Sen, and directed Bahar Guli to wake Wang Hui up.Before Baharguli stood up, Wang Hui woke up. She stood up and looked at the three people opposite, with a look of astonishment on her face. Yuan Sen was frightened, and it turned out that Wang Hui's speculation was wrong. Germain, Alipu and the weirdo appeared at the same time, and Germain and Alipu were really resurrected.They were thinking about the disc in the tomb of Tokta Ahong, and they have been refusing to give up on them. Those three guys who didn't know whether they were human or ghost just stood there in a daze, and didn't come over, as if they were provoking. Without further ado, Wang Hui walked towards them. Yuan Sen and the others didn't understand, so they followed her, aiming every gun at their target. Seeing them coming, the three turned around and walked towards the depths of the standing wood forest. Wang Hui maintained her speed and was not in a hurry to catch up with them. Ai Kailam was very anxious and said: "Assistant Wang, he is trying to lure us into the bait, let's get rid of them quickly, why are you making such trouble?" Wang Huidao: "No one can shoot at such a long distance. They are too fast, even I can't catch up with them. They will guide us. Let's see where they are going before making plans." Ai Kailam was very dissatisfied with Wang Hui's statement, raised his gun, aimed and pulled the trigger, but missed.Alipu turned his head and grinned at Akailamu. Alipu's face was much bigger than before, which was caused by the swelling of the corpse.I don't know how disgusting and ugly this smile is, and Ai Kailam almost vomited out the sour water from the next day. Wang Hui said sharply: "Don't move around, or you will regret it." They followed the three of them across a sand pile, and behind the sand pile was a large sand pit similar to a nest.At this moment, a faint white mist appeared in the air. Those three people fled in the mist, appearing and disappearing from time to time, which was extremely weird. Thinking about their hardened faces, it was even more unbearable. They directly thought of whether the three monsters were going to take them to hell. I don't know how big the standing wood forest is. They walked for a long time, and a faint white appeared in the east, and the three leading the way stopped.At this moment, they were only about ten meters away from the three of them. The fog around them became very thick, and the visibility was extremely low. Ekailam shone a flashlight on the three of them. Seeing that they were motionless, he couldn't help muttering, "What kind of tricks are they going to play?" The three stopped for a moment, the strange man walked forward first, Ali Pu and Germain followed behind him, and a very magnificent city wall appeared in front of him.Only a part of the city wall was exposed in the thick fog, and a quick visual inspection showed that the city wall was very tall. The four people here are extremely puzzled, they haven't left the Standing Wood Forest yet, how could there be a city wall?If there is an ancient city wall, there must be an ancient city. They really don't understand how there is a city hidden in this desert. The three of them walked along the base of the wall for about a hundred meters, and found an abandoned city gate. The wooden gate was quite large, its height was unknown, and it was about three meters wide. , buried in the soil. Ai Kailam was surprised and said: "It's such a big city, there must be a lot of his mother's treasures." The three men pushed open the wooden door with great effort, pushed the door until it touched the inner wall, and filed in.When they disappeared in the city, Ali Pu turned his head and glanced at Yuan Sen and the others. The four hurried to the city gate. The city wall was made of rammed earth, and there were many wounds left by the war on it. The city gate is very long, and what they can see is about ten meters, and it is estimated that it can extend farther inside. From this, it is speculated that the walls of the ancient city are very thick, and it must be a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in the era of cold weapons. There are a lot of gray and black sawdust under the wooden door, which is the same as the wood falling from the standing wood forest, which can be seen from a long time ago.Yuan Sen was extremely puzzled, the climate in the desert was harsh, how could this kind of rammed earth city not collapse after thousands of years? He reached out to touch the groove left by the sword on the city wall, but found nothing, and easily passed through the city wall. He was so horrified that he almost bit off his tongue. Others apparently also noticed this weird phenomenon, the city wall was like nothingness, no matter how they touched it, it was empty.Ai Kailamu stepped directly into the city wall and walked around in the city wall, nothing happened at all. There were many standing trees one meter behind them. Yuan Sen stepped into the city wall, and the city wall was full of such standing trees. This immediately proved that the ancient city was actually above the forest of standing trees.It's just something like a mirage, appearing above the standing tree forest, but it's not yet bright, and there is no sun, how can there be a mirage? Yuan Sen couldn't figure it out. The illusory ancient city appeared before their eyes like a hallucination. If they didn't touch it, it would be so real that even the sand particles on the city wall could be clearly seen.Yuan Sen looked up with a flashlight, and could see towers and wall stacks more than ten meters high. Under the wall stacks was a sunken sign with a string of characters on it. I don't know what it was written on. He vaguely heard the sound of shouting and killing coming from inside the city wall. The sound came suddenly and instantly, and there was even the sound of swords colliding and piercing the human body.Although the voice was very weak, it sounded very real, just like being on the battlefield. The more Yuan Sen listened, the more frightened he became. The sounds of swords clashing and slashing could be heard endlessly. The realistic feeling was engraved in his bone marrow. He could even feel many people rushing past him, and the wind blowing him made him shiver. Yuan Sen shook his head fiercely, and said to Ai Kaila: "Did you hear the sound?" Akira shook his head blankly.He asked Wang Hui and Bahar Guli again: "How about you? Did you hear the sound of war?" Wang Hui's answer was extremely simple: "No!" Bahar Guli said: "Brother, did you hear that voice again? Is that woman still talking?" Yuan Sen shook his head and said, "No, it's the sound of fighting. Many people are fighting, and I can still hear the sound of people being pushed off the city wall and falling to their deaths." Bahargul was dumbfounded, Yuan Sen asked her to bring the recording pen, and he recorded it for a few minutes before playing it for everyone to listen to.After a rustle in the recording pen, there were indeed the sounds of war horses neighing, swords clashing, shouts of killing, and fighting. The chaotic sounds intertwined together made people dizzy. Ekailam tried his best to suppress his excitement, and murmured: "Oh my god, hell, damn hell——" Everyone present was silent, and Bahargul said: "Brother, pay attention to the sound of their shouting, does it sound like the woman's voice we recorded earlier?" Yuan Sen nodded and said, "They must speak the same language." He called up the previously recorded voice from the recording pen and listened to it. After listening to a few words, Wang Hui asserted: "It is indeed the same language. The ancient city and the standing wood forest must be related. A standing tree represents a horse. There are tens of thousands of logs in the standing wood forest, so it is very likely that these people are the residents of the ancient city who died in the war." Ai Kailam's face became very ugly, and he said, "Assistant Wang, you don't want to say that these dead people haunt us, do you? Who will die if you go in?" As he spoke, his face was as black as ashes, and his body trembled slightly. He remembered another thing, that extremely horrifying thing that had given him countless nightmares. Ai Kaila said: "Do you still remember why Old Man Tian came to find me?" Yuan Sen said without hesitation: "When you were looking for the Wunu Sacred Well in the Altai Mountains, you were a guide for a unit of the 755th Division. That team suffered heavy losses, and you were the first-hand witness." Ai Kailam became surprisingly serious, and said: "Brother Yuan, Assistant Wang, I have an intuition that that incident is surprisingly similar to the current scene." Yuan Sen was deeply impressed by that incident. He still remembers the details of Dr. Tian playing the live video tape.There is a deep hole under the sacrificial well, and there is white mist coming out of the hole. A comrade of their expedition team staggered into the cave with the white mist like a demon, and the others couldn't hold it back no matter what.After entering, the person disappeared out of thin air, just like the world evaporated.He had speculated about this scene countless times, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation, and it became one of the many problems that troubled him. Today's scene and that incident do have a hidden coincidence. The four of them fell into silence. The bizarre incident was top secret, but all four of them had seen the video tape with their own eyes, and the horrifying scenes on the screen still terrified them.However, the bizarre scene actually appeared in front of them this time. The only thing that remains to be verified is whether this ancient city gate is the same as the cave in the Wunu religion's sacrificial well. After people enter, it will disappear out of thin air. Baharguli took a flashlight and shone at the gate of the city. She took two shots and then walked into the door opening. Yuan Sen suddenly felt something strange and hurriedly stopped her. Bahar Guli said: "Brother, I saw Grandpa Germain, look quickly—" What she said made Yuan Sen's scalp tingle. He followed Baharguli's gaze, and he saw Germain with wide-eyed eyes and a beard as messy as thatch, waving to them, calling them go in. Yuan Sen dragged Baharguli out and said, "Xiaoli, when Germain waved to you, did you have the urge to walk in?" Bahargul shook her head hurriedly, and said: "Senior brother, don't scare me, I just saw someone inside, so I took a flashlight to take a picture, and sure enough, I saw Grandpa Germain, the incident between the ancient city and the Wunu sect sacrifice well different." Yuan Sen breathed a sigh of relief.But Wang Hui said: "It's useless to guess randomly. I'll go in. You wait for me here. I haven't come out until dawn, so you can go." They all thought that Wang Hui was crazy, and Germain and Alipu were obviously trying to lure them into it. Since they knew it was a trap, they jumped in, wouldn't they be stupid?What's more, the incident of the Wu Nu Cult is a lesson from the past. Wang Hui bowed to them, without saying much, turned around and rushed into the city gate quickly. After entering the gate, she opened the wooden door to block the gate. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
