Chapter 12 Chapter 3 The Maze Without a Path

My mother Ding Sifan recorded in her diary: When she was trapped in the cave of Chi You's underground secret treasure, seeing her classmates die tragically one by one, she instinctively called my father's name, in her mind, Apart from my father's stinky and tough temper, his age is ugly, he doesn't like to wash his feet and his whole body stinks, the only thing left is that he is on call, if he doesn't even have this advantage If so, then this Uncle Xia is really useless. Shouting is all about shouting, but it is only an instinct for people to cry for help in despair, and they never expect to get an answer at all.

So when my mother heard my father's carefree voice coming, she immediately thought that she was dead, because my father's carefree tone was too lacking in realistic logic and could never be real.If she hadn't died, it would be impossible to have this hallucination. Then she heard a strange pop in the hole, and the blinding brightness of the flare burned her eyes. In this dark underground world, I suddenly saw such a bright light, and my father was standing in the middle of the bright light with a big gun. Whoever said this was not an illusion, my mother would definitely fight him desperately.

My mother was determined not to believe she had seen my father, and my father felt the same way. My father saw a strange sight that he had never seen or heard before. In front of him was an underground wilderness. A waterfall was gushing down from the top of his head. The impact of the water drove a khaki waterwheel, which was actually made of clay. It is done, so after thousands of years of water impact, it is still in operation.The runner of the waterwheel has eight corners. As the waterwheel rotates, the eight corners are immersed in the pool water under the waterfall in turn. In the pool, there was a black snake-like thing wriggling. The color of that thing was filthy and filthy, and there was a kind of insidiousness in the wriggling.

The five corners of the waterwheel are empty, and the top is still dripping with water. They have just been turned out of the pool, and the top is covered with maroon mucus. Three people were tied to the other three corners of the waterwheel. Ding Sifan was one, an old man with gray hair, and a middle-aged man with a slightly cunning appearance.When my father came in, he saw the middle-aged man's corner tied to the wheel of the water wheel was slowly submerged in the water. As soon as the man's body touched the water surface, the black snake-like thing in the pool wriggled excitedly Coming over, the middle-aged man let out a desperate scream in an instant.

The black thing in the pool quickly entangled the middle-aged man who was immersed in the water, wrapping him tightly. The man obviously felt the endless fear and pain, and let out a terrifying howl. But the wheel of fate is still turning, and more and more middle-aged men are immersed in the water. The inhuman howl suddenly stopped, and the middle-aged man was completely submerged in the water. His whole body was soaked in water, and he fell off the wheel of the water wheel. His whole body was entangled by that strange black snake-like thing, and he was floating up and down in the pool water. A series of bubbles, the middle-aged man has slowly floated up from the water.

The mass of black dirt was still turning up and down in the pool, but the middle-aged man had become a corpse floating in the air.His body was slowly swelling, and the gas produced by the decomposition of internal tissues was moving in his body like a living thing. At first, there were not many unknown gases, and the middle-aged man's body was still floating close to the ground, but the body inside the body There was more and more of this gas, and slowly, seeing that the corpse had floated to the knees of the person, and slowly floated into the cave along the direction of the air flow. As the corner that bound the middle-aged man turned out of the water with the rotation of the waterwheel, the waterwheel's wheels brought another person into the water.

Ding Sifan! At this time, the toes of her feet had reached the surface of the water, and the black thing in the water rushed over impatiently, wriggling violently around her feet. "Uncle Xia, come and save me!" Ding Sifan's cry for help tugged at my father's mind. How Ding Sifan, Professor Ge and his party came to this ancient treasure cave, and how they were bound to the mysterious hell wheel, this process is easier than my father and the others organizing the rescue many. The investigation of the ancient salt wells in Jiezhou was something that Professor Ge had already decided more than ten years ago. However, due to the frequent wars at that time, the Japanese were attacked first, and then the Kuomintang. Later, the whole country was liberated, but the remnants of the Kuomintang and the bandits They are still killing people and setting fires everywhere, and only after all the bandits have been wiped out and the law and order in Jiezhou area has completely returned to normal can this scientific research investigation be put on the agenda.

Professor Ge's scientific expedition this time is just to go to the ancient salt well in Jiezhou to collect some actual data, and he doesn't expect any big moves, so when he selects the scientific expedition team members, he takes a few ideas into consideration. All the children who opened their eyes were brought. These children are Ding Sifan and her four classmates: Lu Sixian, Pan Nai, Chen Jiujin, and Hua Yuyun.Among the five children, except for my mother Ding Sifan, the other four have never left Peiping since they were young. They all wanted to take this opportunity to go out and have a look, so as to "see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland."

Professor Ge took these five proud disciples to Yuncheng by train, and then the local government sent a car to take them to Jiezhou. To be honest, the local reception staff didn't have a good impression of this old man wearing glasses. Liberated, the people of the whole country were all rejoicing, and threw themselves into the new upsurge of socialist construction. The old man didn't say that he would take the time to farm the fields, raise pigs and chop vegetables, but he took a few young people with oily heads and noodles to see some ancient salt wells. This kind of behavior is too suspicious, can't it be a hidden spy of the Kuomintang?

Professor Ge didn't know how different he was in the eyes of the local people, he was still in high spirits, and led Ding Sifan and the other five to run around. His frequent activities once again attracted the attention of the local reception comrades. He suspected that the old man was not using This kind of opportunity caused sabotage in the local area, so he deliberately said that the government car used to receive Professor Ge was broken down, and let these people run with their own feet. Two feet can run much slower than a jeep. It is convenient to monitor this group of strange people.

Without a car, Professor Ge's team lost their mood for scientific research. They could only rely on six of them to walk around on twelve legs, and they came to a strange small village. The villagers told them that there is a small hill named Chiyouguan about a dozen miles north of the village. Legend has it that the crown belt fell from the ancient war god Chiyou after being killed by the Yellow Emperor.When Professor Ge was overjoyed, he immediately asked to see it, but the local villagers stopped them, saying that they could not go there. If you get close to Chi Youguan, you will become crazy and run around the world with your bare buttocks... Unexpectedly, it was good if the villagers didn't persuade them, but this persuasion was like adding fuel to the fire. Professor Ge couldn't hold back anymore, and wanted to get a closer look. So Professor Ge spent money to hire a local named Chen Nanpi as a tour guide, and asked Chen Nan to take them to Chi Youguan.He made mistakes in his busy schedule, but he never thought that this Chen Nanpi was originally a lazy man with nothing to do. He went around to cheat Professor Ge, just because he saw that some people in the city were too stupid, and wanted to cheat some money for drinks.He took Professor Ge and his party to the nearest small mound, and lied to Professor Ge and the others that this was Chi Youguan. Seeing that the small soil was covered with vegetation, Professor Ge believed that the local legends were not reliable, so he asked Chen Nanpi if there were any other monuments nearby.Chen Nanpi rolled his eyes, and led them to an abandoned well, saying that this well was not an ordinary salt well, it was made by Chi You after urinating... Professor Ge didn't know the truth, so he asked Chen Nan to take them down to have a look.Going down, Chen Nanpi felt amused, and tied himself down with Professor Ge, Lu Sixian and Ding Sifan with a rope, but he never thought that Professor Ge found a stone at the bottom of the well, on which a lot of Taoists were pasted in a mess. However, no one knew what the ghost painting talisman on it was written on. Only Ding Sifan paid more attention to this kind of thing because he had entered Wang Mang's underground palace, but she couldn't decipher the original meaning of the talisman. She just relied on impressions. , Knowing that these symbols are a kind of Taoist prohibition, it is intended to warn people to stay away from this place. So, after climbing up from the dry well, Ding Sifan persuaded Professor Ge to go back, but Professor Ge was having a good time and refused to give up, so Ding Sifan sent the pile of talismans eight hundred years ago to my father.As for herself, she had to accompany Professor Ge to "excavate archaeology" at the bottom of the well. Professor Ge dug under that well for three days, and sure enough, he dug out an ancient underground salt tunnel that had been buried in the soil for hundreds of years. At that time, when the dark and cold hole was dug out, Ding Sifan felt a pang in his heart. Seeing an ominous premonition, she suggested that Professor Ge go back and report first, discuss it with the local government, and then come to explore.However, Professor Ge knew that the local people didn't like these "parasites that don't work hard and can't distinguish grains". He was afraid that if he went back and reported, the opportunity to explore the ancient underground salt tunnel might be lost.So Professor Ge immediately decided to leave two students, Chen Jinjiu and Hua Yuyun, waiting outside the well, while he took the rest of the people to "go in and have a look". Unexpectedly, after Professor Ge went in, he found that there was another hole in the cave, which turned out to be an endless underground rock cavity. The criss-crossed quartz stones were crystal clear like jade and white as snow, stretching endlessly to the deep underground. Standing, under the torch refracted a strange splendor.Large pieces of calcium salt crystals are like huge crystal agates, refracting a fascinating strange light.The strangest thing is that Professor Ge also found an ancient plank road in the underground cave. The road was as wide as a square, extending infinitely downwards, and he didn't know where it led. The guide, Chen Nanpi, was dumbfounded and insisted that this road must lead to the underworld, and he wanted to go back no matter what, Professor Ge couldn't persuade him, so he had to agree that everyone would walk three or two hundred meters forward to see if they could go forward. If he couldn't find anything, if an hour passed, no matter if he found anything, he would return immediately, and Chen Nanpi agreed to go forward.Although he walked forward holding the torch, his eyes were fixed on the bag carried by Professor Ge, thinking of bad ideas. Everyone walked forward for a while, and there were only endless colorful rock formations in sight, but nothing was found. In the midst of disappointment, Chen Nanpi suddenly bent his waist, pointed in front of him and exclaimed: "Look, that What is it?" Everyone was startled, hurried over, and looked forward in the direction of Chen Nanpi's finger.But he didn't guard against Chen Nanpi's sudden strange cry, he swung the wooden stick in his hand violently, and hit Professor Ge's head with a bang. just fell down.Then Chen Nanpi went forward to grab the backpack on Professor Ge's body without a word, with a livid face. Lu Sixian and Pan Nai, two boys who had never seen the world, were stunned when they saw Chen Nanpi's sudden robbery. Although Ding Sifan was a girl, she was "baptized by strong winds and waves". Looking at the situation, she knew that the guide Chen Nanpi was not a good person, so she yelled and smashed Chen Nanpi with the torch in her hand.But her strength was too weak in the end, Chen Nanpi blocked it with his arm, snatched the torch from her hand, and rushed towards her viciously. Ding Sifan had no choice but to turn around and fly away, heading in the direction of Lu Sixian and Pan Nai, thinking that there were many people on his side, so Chen Nanpi would definitely run away in fright.But never thought that Chen Nanpi didn't pay attention to the children in these cities at all, and followed closely behind Ding Sifan. circle, finally heard Lu Sixian swallowed: "I have something to say...let's talk it out...don't...don't fight..." With these two people unable to catch up with Ding Sifan, Chen Nanpi was already on fire, but when he heard Lu Sixian's words, he immediately became angry, and took a torch to hit the back of Lu Sixian's neck. Lu Sixian screamed and threw it away. It seems normal, but no one touched Pan Nai's finger, but he screamed louder than Lu Sixian, fell down earlier than Lu Sixian, and even wailed loudly stand up.Seeing this scene made Chen Nanpi furious, scolded Pan Nai for nothing, and kicked Pan Nai's ass several times. Chen Nanpi's delay made Ding Sifan take the opportunity to escape to Professor Ge's side, picked up a torch that had been dropped on the ground, and rushed towards Chen Nanpi.Chen Nanpi still thought it was funny: "Oh, little girl..." Suddenly, Ding Sifan yelled: "Down with Wang Mang's reactionaries!" A torch hit Chen Nanpi's face. Chen Nanpi was taken aback. He was not afraid of Ding Sifan, but was frightened by the inexplicable slogan she yelled. As soon as the ferocity retreated, his hands and feet became weak involuntarily, and he turned around and ran away in a hurry. Ding Sifan followed Chen Nanpi closely, and after a few steps, seeing that he could not catch up with him, he gritted his teeth and threw the torch in his hand towards him. In the darkness, Chen Nanpi only heard a cry of pain, and then he went away With the sound of footsteps, he has disappeared into the cave that has been lost for hundreds of turns. After returning, Ding Sifan hurriedly helped Professor Ge up, calling his name repeatedly, Lu Sixian and Pan Nai got up unhappily, with embarrassment on their faces.Every boy has a dream of being a hero, but there is a big distance between the dream and the reality, and now they have truly realized this. Professor Ge woke up. He opened his ignorant eyes and asked, "What's going on, what happened just now?" "That guide is not a good person," Ding Sifan said, "He wanted to steal our things, but he has already escaped." "Why is he robbing us?" Professor Ge didn't understand: "We are all scientific research materials, why is he a farmer robbing us?" Ding Sifan couldn't answer Professor Ge's innocent and innocent question, so he, together with Lu Sixian and Pan Nai, supported Professor Ge, turned around and walked back.After walking not far, two stars of fire suddenly appeared in front of them. Suddenly, Lu Sixian and Pan Nai looked like they were facing an enemy, and hurriedly shouted: "Who, don't move, otherwise we will... shoot..." As expected, the two stars stopped moving, but a familiar voice came over: "Professor Ge, it's me, Chen Jinjiu and Hua Yuyun. We have been waiting for a long time, but we haven't seen you go back, so I came down to look for you..." The visitor was approaching, and it turned out to be the two students Chen Jinjiu and Hua Yuyun who stayed outside. Lu Sixian and Pan Nai rushed to meet them, vying to talk about what happened just now. Of course, none of them would mention that they were scared to the ground just now. The embarrassing situation of calling mother on the ground just said that the guide Chen Nanpi had been beaten away by everyone. Seeing that Chen Jinjiu and Hua Yuyun also came down, Ding Sifan suddenly became nervous. The real reason why Chen Jinjiu and Hua Yuyun came down to the cave was that they were cowardly, and they were at a loss as soon as they left Professor Ge. But what is frightening is that these two students have never seen the world. After the professors went down, there was no news for a long time. What they should do is to run back to report immediately, but they came down on their own initiative. If they all got lost in the underground together, the people above would not even know Do not know at all. Ding Sifan's worries soon became a reality. When Chen Jinjiu and Hua Yu came down, they were worried that they would not find their way back, so they put a torch at the entrance, and put a beige scarf owned by Hua Yuyun on a rock in front of the entrance.When you go back, as long as you see the torch and the scarf, you can find the exit.But they walked all the way back, but they never saw any torches, let alone scarves. The six people were startled and continued to move forward. Suddenly, Lu Sixian screamed and pointed to the ground in front of him.Ding Sifan looked forward, and his heart suddenly turned cold. On the ground, there was a burnt torch, and the smoke was still rising from the torch, which was obviously not long after being thrown down. Looking at the torch, everyone was frightened and fell silent. The thing is obvious, that Chen Nanpi, who somehow walked back to the front of everyone just now, first found the torch and scarf stuck in the entrance. He didn't know that this was the sign of the exit, but he took the torch and scarf away .And this means that everyone may never find their way back. Entering the cave so recklessly, without even considering the most basic life-saving measures, Professor Ge deeply regretted this adventurous trip.But things have come to this point, he can only encourage the children: "Don't worry, since the torch is here, the exit will definitely not be far away, let's look back." Everyone turned around and walked back, but every step they took, everyone felt a strange feeling: They are not walking on the road they have just come. Although the stone paths in the cave turn back and forth and interweave chaotically, the strange rock shapes that I saw in my eyes at this time were not seen during the journey.The more they walked, the more uneasy everyone became, as if they were walking towards the depths of hell, towards the ghost blood that was deposited at the darkest end of the world. This feeling became stronger and stronger, Hua Yuyun was so frightened that she couldn't help crying, no matter how Ding Sifan tried to comfort her, it was of no avail.Ding Sifan had no choice but to support her, and walked forward while comforting her. Slowly, Hua Yuyun stopped crying. Ding Sifan was relieved just now, but suddenly became nervous again. Another cry came faintly, the cry was eerie, sad and cold, like the helpless howl of a night ghost in the long cold night, resounding in this cold grotto, especially frightening . Who is crying? Ding Sifan looked around in shock, Hua Yuyun beside her had already turned pale with fright from the cry, but Professor Ge and the other three students seemed to ignore the cry and continued to move forward indifferently while walking. It wasn't until Hua Yuyun let out a terrifying scream that those few people suddenly came to their senses: "What's wrong...Hua Yuyun, this cry...isn't it from you?" Feeling sorry for those in front, I thought it was the two girls in the back who were crying. When they found that the crying sound was wrong, everyone became frightened and tiptoed to the crying sound.Turning around a tall stone wall, Lu Sixian, who was walking in the front, yelled in fright, and hurried back: "It's... the guide who snatched us just now...he's inside..." I heard that there was only one person, but everyone's courage grew up inexplicably. Professor Ge walked over with a few children, and sure enough, he saw the guide Chen Nanpi kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the front, and kowtowed. While weeping and crying, around his neck was the beige scarf that Hua Yuyun left as a sign at the entrance. It really was this guy who did it! Everyone rushed towards Chen Nanpi angrily, no matter how powerful this guy is, he can't bear the crowds here, there are six men, women, old and young together, and there are so many courageous people, not to mention the more everyone rushes forward, Chen Nanpi He didn't even look back, just let out a woman's weeping sound, and kowtowed to the front non-stop.Walking behind him, Lu Sixian kicked his ass. Chen Nanpi turned his face away. That face, crying is not crying, laughing is not laughing, it is unspeakably weird, it seems that every muscle on his face is expressing some kind of emotion that is unfamiliar to human beings, because of excessive force, every muscle is out of the original Bit, it seems to make people feel faint. "You...what are you going to do?" Chen Nanpi's strange face frightened Lu Sixian, he hurriedly took a step back and asked in a low voice. Chen Nanpi didn't say anything, just pointed to the stone wall in front of him. Everyone followed his fingers to look over, and saw that opposite to Chen Nanpi was a tall quartz stone wall, engraved with circles of spiral stripes on the stone wall, these stripes were obviously not formed naturally, but even if they were created by humans Because, that should have happened thousands of years ago. Although the spiral stripes are simple, they are fine and complex, forming countless grooves and folds. The strangest thing is that these stripes still seem to be wriggling, giving people a feeling of uneasiness. My mother Ding Sifan recorded in her secret diary that when she stood in front of the ancient mysterious pattern, she immediately recalled many past events. Recalling the past is a very normal thinking activity for human beings, but the past events recalled by my mother Ding Sifan are different. Those past events were something she had never experienced before. What she remembered was the gloomy and boundless land in ancient times, and what she remembered was the ancient memory of her waist piercing leaves and holding a stone ax in her hand. In her memories, she saw countless terrified expressions. The strange faces with speckled hair were not complete, and countless strange faces fled to the depths of the forest in panic.The forest was so tall that it towered into the sky.But these panicked desperadoes simply fled to their ultimate destiny.The beast-shaped people who had been ambushing in the forest for a long time swarmed out with spears in their hands, wantonly poking at these poor creatures who fell into the trap, the splash of bright red blood blinded her eyes, she groaned and knelt powerlessly Fall under the mysterious totem. The mysterious and ancient totem with vertical and horizontal grooves has a terrifying power. It makes people hallucinate. It was not just a hallucination, in fact, the feeling was so clear and vivid that my mother, Ding Sifan, was convinced that it was definitely not a scene I imagined, but a real event that happened in the ancient times. This ancient totem, it frightens people's souls, and makes people return to a long-forgotten nightmare generation. A large group of beast-shaped soldiers swarmed in. There were so many of them, they looked like black ants coming out of the burrow. In fact, they were really tall trees that came out of the burrow. Under the roots, there are lairs of these beast-like people, and the metal spears in their hands are so sharp, drinking the blood of those descendants of ape-men who are struggling on the evolutionary path. Piles of corpses fell at Ding Sifan's feet, and the sound of wailing pierced through the sky and the earth. The remaining people were forced into a corner by the spears. These survivors trembled and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Understand why he kneels, but now everyone understands. captive! The sharp metal spear points pierced their backs, and they had to stagger forward amidst the painful wailing. The brutal and vicious beast soldiers who escorted them beat them constantly along the way and forced them to use naked Their feet walked through the bushes covered with poisonous thistles, and they walked along a bright red bloody road, praying to God for salvation in despair. According to my mother Ding Sifan's diary, after being escorted away by those brutal beast-shaped soldiers, she no longer knew that she was Ding Sifan, but only knew that she was a chosen sacrifice, and her flesh and blood would be used to sacrifice The evil spirits in the darkness, the faster she walked, the faster she would be freed. In the end, all of them were running insanely, sprinting towards the end of their lives, the eternally peaceful world of death. Looking forward to their arrival not far away, they know that they will not live up to the expectations of Death. Although she was in a state of delirium, my mother Ding Sifan said that even in that weird situation, her senses and memories were still very sensitive. They were taken into the beast-shaped man's underground lair, which was an extremely strange world to them, with the bizarre rocks, the criss-crossing underground labyrinths, the biting cold underground wind, and the air piercing through it. The terrible whimpering sound as they passed through the underground cavity, all of which made them terrified and lost their souls. They were escorted to a tall altar. The altar was built next to the water, the underground pool was so deep and cold, there was something terrible wriggling in the water, only the warm blood of primates could calm the restless state of mind of that thing, it Why are you upset?No one knew the answer, but every victim knew that the terrible thing in the pool had been waiting for them for a long, long time. Ding Sifan's hands and feet were tied to the octagonal sacrificial trestle by the ferocious beast-shaped man. In this deep underground world, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to rescue her. In the ultimate despair of six thousand years, she Involuntarily shouted my father's name: "Uncle Xia, come and save me!" After shouting this sentence, my father suddenly appeared in front of her like an elf in mythology, and even fired a flare, bringing infinite light to this dark underground world, which made my mother excited Below, tears welled up. "Da da da", the rapid burst of submachine guns suddenly sounded, shattering the six thousand years of silence in this underground world. Of course it was my father who fired the shot. As soon as he entered, he saw that Ding Sifan was about to be submerged in the water. The black thing in the water was about to move. He aimed at the thing and fired without thinking. The bullet submerged in the water had no effect on the object in the water. The object rolled up and faced Ding Sifan who was slowly submerged in the water.In desperation, my father yelled, rushed over like a gust of wind, and stuffed the submachine gun into the runner of the water wheel, jamming the water wheel. The water wheel clicked a few times under the impact of the water flow, but the wheel was stuck by the barrel of the submachine gun, and finally stopped. Ding Sifan's feet could barely touch the water surface. The extremely nervous state made her sob uncontrollably With a sound, he became limp as mud for a moment, unable to move at all. The thing in the water seemed a bit disappointed. When the waves turned over, they seemed to jump up and grab Ding Sifan. How could my father allow this to happen? He immediately hugged Ding Sifan's legs and let her Keep your feet out of the water.Looking back, I saw that the center of the pool was spinning rapidly for unknown reasons. My father felt his heart flutter, and he screamed badly: he stretched his neck violently, and yelled out the eternal slogan: "Down with Chi You, you bastard!" Using revolutionary slogans to fight against the hypnotic power in the ancient secret treasure is my father's best trick. As early as in Wang Mang's underground palace, he and my mother encountered the Yin Sha trained by Wang Mang. When Yin Sha used hypnotic power to try to destroy them When the will of the two of us was in the air, my father encouraged my mother to shout revolutionary slogans. In fact, to put it bluntly, the constant chanting of slogans is also a kind of hypnotic power. Through repeated simple slogans, people's consciousness enters an absolute state of delirium.It's just that when my father consciously shouted revolutionary slogans, he was using it to strengthen his will and shake up his spirit, and what he feared most during hypnosis was encountering a single-minded person like my father. As long as this kind of person shouts revolutionary slogans, any hypnotic method will have no effect on him except the slogan itself. My father shouted the slogan at the right time. That strange roar not only awakened my mother Ding Sifan's sanity, but even Professor Ge, who was unconscious, trembled all over and opened his eyes. What hypnotized my father was the strange vortex in the center of the pool. Although the vortex is formed by the surge of water waves, the ripples of the water meter anywhere in the world are completely different. Under normal conditions, the ripples of the water meter are in the shape of ripples. The expansion energy gradually decreases, and finally tends to be calm.But here, the ripples on the water meter in the pool form three-dimensional ripples with layers and gradients, and the ripples rotate at a uniform speed and energy. Although they are constantly fluctuating, the shape of the ripples is is always unchanged. There is only one hypnotic power, which means the fixed repetition of monotonous rhythm. The ripples on the water meter are moving, but the shape does not change at all, and the ripples are extremely weird, like the human cerebral cortex, and have a natural affinity for human consciousness, as long as people's eyes touch this circle The ripples of the circle will be involuntarily attracted by it, and the weak-willed people will lose themselves in an instant and fall into a hypnotic state. Even though my father's will is as strong as steel, he felt dazed and lost in front of the waves of water. Fortunately, he had rich experience in fighting, so he immediately gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, raised his arms and shouted: "If Chi You doesn't surrender, let him perish!" "Youxiong people unite and overthrow Chiyou imperialism!" ... In the midst of the passionate slogan, the old man came in with the equipment on his back like a heavy cow, and was stunned when he saw the situation: "I'm fucking Lao Xia, it's really yours! You still fucking play like this." Hearing Uncle Wai's voice, my father took two steps back slowly: "Wai, I'm blocking you, hurry up and untie the people on the water truck..." "Why should I use you to block it..." Old Wai Uncle was very arguing, and looked at the water surface with his head. Suddenly, his mind was dizzy and his mind was in a trance. Countless strange memory fragments flashed through his brain in an instant.Surprised in my heart, I knew the truth, and hurriedly imitated my father's method, raising my arms and yelling slogans: "Go to the ancient times and liberate the primitive people!" "If Chi You doesn't surrender, let him perish!" After yelling, he laughed twice, not daring to turn his head to look at the water, closed his eyes and released Ding Sifan and Professor Ge from the water tanker.Ding Sifan is fine, seeing my father she feels at ease and has returned to normal, Professor Ge is miserable, his whole body is as limp as mud, the old uncle had no choice but to drag him away from the pool with Ding Sifan Stay away from the water. The ripples of the pool suddenly became disordered, it was clear that the thing in the water was very angry when they saw the human beings being rescued, and they were about to make trouble. My father knew how powerful he was, so he didn't dare to fight. He didn't even want the submachine gun stuck on the water tanker. He turned around and ran, shouting: "Old crooked, hurry up, bazooka..." Uncle Wai moved quickly. He had just picked up the bazooka with both hands, and he had already shot it. Because he didn't have time to lie down when shooting, the powerful impact knocked him down all at once. A gigantic fish head appeared on the surface of the water. The fish's head was obviously much bigger than this pool. Its mouth was like a huge door, inside were four rows of barbed sharp teeth, each tooth was the same size No less than the tusks of a full-grown elephant, this mouth was about to chase my father, but the speed of the bazooka was faster than the speed of this mouth.What's more, the old Wai Uncle has a very ruthless life, and he brought the Soviet-made N25 standard. This kind of bazooka is so powerful. In the early years of the Nomonhan battle, it only took one shot to turn the Japanese tanks upside down. When the Japanese see this thing, their souls will fly away, and the fish head in the water is even more vulnerable. A huge explosion sounded, shaking the ground, and several people were thrown up and down like beans in a hot frying pan. It took a while for the aftermath of the explosion to dissipate. My father and the old uncle turned their eyes to look at the water pool again, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. The water waves in the pool are still there, and just looking at it makes people dizzy and confused, but on the water surface, except for the black thing rising and falling, there is not even a trace of blood. Could it be that the gigantic giant fish just now was completely destroyed by that rocket bomb? The old crooked uncle rubbed his eyes with his hands, and got angry: "Lao Xia, there are ancient spies lurking in this water, so we two brothers will give him a bottom-up look, and completely wipe out the Emperor Xiu and all reactionaries, how about it?" My father fired two flares in succession, and then looked up at the underground mountain where the waterfall cascaded down: "If you want to dig out the ancient reactionaries lurking in the pool, you must first cut off the water source, and then light up the pool, you Look there is a downward slope over there, let the water flow over there..." Before we could finish speaking, my father and Uncle Wai fired two rockets at the edge of the waterfall at the same time. Amidst the deafening explosion, my father seemed to hear the old man muttering: "Lao Xia, look at that girl and old man Ge, there is something wrong with the two people we rescued today." The sound waves produced by the rocket explosion were strong. At this time, the four of my father were in the underground cave again, and the explosion shock waves they felt were even more obvious.I'm not sure if the old crooked uncle really said that Ding Sifan and Professor Ge have a problem, but my father is sure of it. He didn't ask the old crooked uncle why, or what evidence he had.It must be known that both of them are men of a hundred deaths on the battlefield, and they know that on the battlefield where bullets are flying everywhere, the only way to survive is not logical thinking, but the simplest and most effective intuition.在战场上，哪怕一个轻微的举止都会产生截然不同的结果，在一次战斗中，我父亲听到了敌人的炮弹划破空气的声音，在这种情况下习惯性的卧倒动作是立即趴伏在地，减小目标，可是那一次父亲竟然莫名其妙的仰面后倒，结果那炮弹奇准无误的在他的脚前掀起了一个大坑，他被埋在了土中，等被人刨出来之后连叫侥幸，如果他当时向前卧倒，那我爹早就被那枚炮弹炸得连影子都找不到了。 这种没任何道理的本能，就是直觉。 直觉就是直觉，只有对错之分，没有什么为什么的道理。 想到这里，我父亲偷眼看了一下丁思梵。 见到了我父亲，丁思梵就知道已经“没事了”，她对我父亲的盲目信心连我父亲自己都自愧不如。这边我父亲和老歪叔炸开峰顶，要让瀑布改道，她那边却拿出我父亲带进来的水壶，掰开昏迷不醒的葛教授的嘴巴，用清水滋润老教授那乌黑干裂的嘴唇。 我父亲摇了摇头，在内心中，他一直认为我母亲丁思梵革命斗志不够坚定，特别容易被王莽蚩尤等上古的剥削阶级所利用，他在考虑回去后是不是提个建议，把全国的学生们全都带出城市来搞个野营拉练，每天八百里急行军，凡是还没累死的，铁定都是革命意志坚定的…… 地下岩峰的顶部被炸开，瀑布被迫改了道，流向了黑暗中不知什么方向。老歪叔兴奋起来，拍拍我父亲的肩膀，意思是还得再接再厉，火箭筒再次架在肩上，对准了那水潭边缘一个较低的角度，连珠炮也似的连续打出四发。 够了，这四发火箭弹，其威力足够再造出这么一个同等大小的水潭的了。 水潭中的水开始哗哗的向外流淌，虽然那夺人心志的水波依旧，但眼见得水波越来越小，越来越弱，而从潭中流出来的水，仔细看看，只是清澈的地下水，并不见其中有什么怪东西。 那潭水极深，但是我父亲和老歪叔在炸开水潭的时候，就考虑到了这一点，有意的把着弹点选择的靠下一点，确保打开的缺口足以让潭中的全部积水流光，也免得再浪费火药。 水潭里的水位越来越低，终于浮上来一个硕大的鱼头残骸，顺着水潭的缺口飘了出去。老歪叔纳闷的搔了搔头：“怪事，这鱼的身体呢？它嘴巴这么大，那身体还不得象一座山峰啊。” “犯糊涂了是吧？”我父亲嘲笑老歪叔：“就你这脑子还玩寻宝呢，我呸，你也不说想一想，在这种孤绝环境下进化的生物，普遍的特征是嘴巴比脑袋大，脑袋比身体大，只有这样的大嘴巴才能确保让落入水潭中的食物进到它自己的肚子里去，否则的话，先不要说这鬼地方八百年也冲不进来一点食物，就算是有，还有那一团颜色乌黑的怪东西跟它抢呢，这鱼能抢得过吗？” 说话间，就见那鱼的身子泛了起来，果然是小到了与其嘴巴严重不成比例。 老歪叔被我父亲损了一通，没得话说，只能翻着白眼，等找机会再扳回这一局。 怪鱼顺着水潭的缺口飘走之后，那团颜色乌黑的怪东西终于浮了上来，老歪叔定睛一看，顿时乐了：“我操，我以为什么玩艺儿，原来是一堆蝌蚪。”眼看我父亲又要损他，老歪叔嘴巴飞快的把话说下去：“确切的说，这不能叫蝌蚪，只是一堆青蛙卵……这青蛙卵也太他妈的大了吧？” 老歪叔说得不错，那堆东西的原始形态应该是青蛙的卵，但现在，这些东西早已跟青蛙没半点关系了。 这堆东西，应该是那地下极峰的涧水带来的一只正在产卵的青蛙，又或是直接带来的一些青蛙卵，但到了这个怪异的水潭里，由于环境发生了变化，那堆青蛙卵被这水潭里的不知什么东西寄生了，所以这看似青蛙卵的东西不断的在膨胀，并于这暗黑的世界中等待着新的寄生宿主。 葛教授的四名学生，以及向导陈南皮，就是那可怕东西的新的寄生宿主。 那一堆蟾卵状的东西搁浅在了水潭的缺口处，并慢慢的蠕动起来。 老歪叔拿肩膀撞了我父亲一下：“瞧见了没有，等不及了。” “全体注意，准备战斗！”我父亲吼了一嗓子，把葛教授和丁思梵吓了一大跳。 有什么东西从蟾卵中爬了起来，感觉那蟾卵就象是一块布，遮盖着这些怪东西，现在，这些东西离开了它们温暖的寄生巢穴，开始寻求新的寄生宿主。 看着那竹节一样怪异的东西爬过来，我父亲失望的叫了一声：“怎么会是这玩艺儿，吓了老子一大跳。” “可别小看这玩艺儿，”老歪叔阴沉沉的道：“死在这东西之手的冤魂，多了去了，稍不留神就让你着了它们的道……” 关于我父亲和老歪叔他们在蚩尤秘宝的岩洞中所看到的东西，直到最近几年才引起世界性的关注。澳大利亚有几家盐业公司就是因为这东西的存在被迫关闭，因为这东西生活在以石灰石为表怔的喀斯特地貌一带，学术界觉得这小东西不可思议，就替它们起了“冥虫”这样一个名字。但我父亲和老歪叔却更直接的管这东西叫鬼虫子，因为这种物种基本上都是在孤绝的环境下独立进化，现代化的采盐业可以轻而易举的摧毁鬼虫子赖以生存的自然环境，所以澳大利亚的生物保护组织就采用各种办法阻挠当地的采盐工业，迫使企业被迫关闭。 如果我父亲知道了发生在澳大利亚的事情，他肯定会骂一句：“吃饱了撑的！” 以我父亲的观点看来，有些东西你与其让它活下来，还不如彻底消灭的好，对这种鬼虫子，我父亲就持这一态度。 这是因为这种鬼虫子会从肛门或尿道钻入到大型生物体内，寄生在生物的体内，将生物体的组织细胞分解消溶，将寄生体生物体内的钙质吞噬殆尽……这种东西，如何不让人讨厌？ 葛教授的四名学生和向导陈南皮，就是被这鬼虫子钻进了体内，融解了他们体内的钙质并吸收了二氧化碳气体，反而让有氧细胞溶解时产生的氢气膨胀起来，让他们沦为了人不人鬼不鬼的飘泊之物。至于那怪鱼如何又与这鬼虫子同居于潭水之中，形成一个共生态，这其中的道理我父亲可就懒得追究了。 而现在，这些东西已经等不及，径直的向着我父亲他们爬了过去，人体散发出来的那温暖气息让它们蠢蠢欲动，一大片黑压压的虫子从那蟾卵中潮水般涌了出来，这情形让老歪叔勃然大怒，伸手一掏：“我操，你以为老子的燃烧弹真的用完了？早知道你们这些鬼东西等在这里，特意给你们留了一枚……” 轰的一声，烈火熊熊燃起，无论是从蟾卵中爬出来的鬼虫子，还是正在蟾卵中蠕动着往外钻的鬼虫子，霎时间湮灭于冲天的烈火之中。 那蟾卵虽然说不出的让人恶心，可鬼虫子的数量相比于血池中的飞虫数量要少得多，只不过一枚燃烧弹，伴随着噼哩啪啦的钙质爆裂之声，这让人恶心的物种就彻底的从这世界上消失了。 烈火熄灭，露出了后面积水已经流光了的潭底，我父亲和老歪叔定睛一瞧，顿时发出一声绝望的呻吟声：“日他姥姥哟，这底是个什么玩艺儿哟……” 水潭的底部，是呈螺旋环状形成的密集沟回，那沟回的形状与刚才在水面上形成的波纹一模一样，曲曲折折，弯弯绕绕，冷不下看上去就象是一个被打开的人的活大脑，密集的沟回与褶皱带给人一种不安的错觉，仿佛那大脑仍然在不停的蠕动…… 最可怕的是，那沟回形的螺旋纹络有着一种神秘的力量，让人彻底丧失神智，迷失自我，我父亲和老歪叔只是看了一眼，就觉得心神不定，六神无主，有着一种强烈的失魂落魄的感觉。 Evil door! 事后我父亲回忆说，那水底的沟回纹络，与地面上的蚩尤冠一模一样，难怪那蚩尤冠万古不易，几千年来保持同一固定形态，任何人触碰了蚩尤冠上面的土，都会因此而发疯。 除此之外，丁思梵和葛教授一行进来的时候在岩洞里所看到的那个沟回形图腾，实际上也是这个东西，只不过，他们在路上所见到的只是一个图案，而这里，却是这东西的实体。 老歪叔趴在地上拼命的揉眼睛：“老夏，我心里有一种不祥的预感……” 一句话还未说完，突觉脑后风声猝起，我父亲心中大骇，明明知道有人在身后偷袭自己，急忙快速的就地一滚，可是不知为什么，原本是灵活的身体却莫名其妙的丧失了弹性，他的动作比预期的慢上了一拍还不止。耳边听着老歪叔的惊声痛叫，只觉得头部剧烈的一震，已经被什么坚硬之物击中后脑。
