Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

When we rushed over, it was too late, Pan Zi had fallen out of sight, there was a turn in the cave, and the flashlight couldn't see the bottom of the scene, so we didn't know whether he was dead or alive. As soon as my brain got hot, I wanted to jump down, but the fat man was faster than me. He grabbed the rope on his feet, pulled out his saber, and jumped into the hole. He slipped and disappeared in an instant.I wanted to jump again, but Monk Hua held me back, saying that the diameter is too small, even if you jump down, you won’t be able to hit the bottom. If it works, Fatty can save people by himself. If it doesn’t work, you can jump If you go down, you will die.

I coughed and looked into the hole, but I couldn't see anything, and I heard the sound of the fat man sliding down.The rope on the top was quickly pulled into the hole, and I couldn't help feeling anxious. After a minute, the rope suddenly stopped, and then there was a vibration from the other end of the rope, and then the fat man suddenly yelled from a deep place below: "Pull the rope!" We quickly pulled the rope and pulled it up desperately. Soon the fat man appeared dragging Pan Zi. Pan Zi was still kicking, obviously the corpse still didn't let go. Chen Pi Asi asked us to get out of the way, frowned, and pulled out an iron bullet in his hand, aimed at Pan Zi's ankle, and hit the corpse's big head so hard that the corpse screamed and let go , but immediately want to rush up after loosening.

Chen Pi Asi didn't give it a chance, another iron bullet hit it somersault, it turned over and charged again, another one, this time it rolled down. We took the opportunity to pull them both out of the hole, and several of them immediately moved away from the hole.Monk Hua picked up the engineering shovel and waited aside. Sure enough, within a few seconds, the thing jumped up again. Monk Hua patted it down alive with a "dang", and we immediately fell to the ground with a scream. The depths of the cave. Fatty's face was pale, panting and said to Pan Zi: "See, it seems that your wife still likes you a little bit more."

Pan Zi was so frightened that he waved his hand: "Don't talk about it, let's get even." Then he asked Monk Hua: "Is this damn hole a nest of corpses? reincarnation." Monk Hua waved his hand: "No, the corpse is not an animal, so where did it come from? This hole is indeed strange. When you just fell down, what did you see in it?" The fat man said: "I didn't bring a flashlight, so I couldn't see anything, but I touched a few stone slabs. The hole should be repaired manually." Manual repair?Monk Hua seemed a little concerned, and I turned my gaze back to the big hole.

The hole looks a bit like a well, and it's kind of fucking deep.I thought it was an abandoned pile-hole well, but it turned out not to be the case. The diameter of the wellhead was a bit large. It was impossible to drill such a pile-hole well at that time. There were traces of repairing and chiseling on the edge of the well hole. Is it a natural formation? That lava hole.After taking a photo, the corpse inside was gone, and it seemed that it had fallen into it. I don't know if it was shot to death by Monk Hua.Apart from being a little scary, this thing is not very powerful. The inner wall of the well was inlaid with some stone slabs at the beginning, but it was not at the back, and it was very uneven, a bit like the inner wall of a human duodenum. The wind blows in from the well, mixed with a trace of damp smell, probe A few meters in, it was pitch black inside.Don't know where to go.

The fat man felt strange looking at it: "It's a bit like the cellar opening in the northeast? It shouldn't be the place where the craftsmen used to pickle cabbage when building this spiritual palace." Monk Hua ignored him, and felt the opening of the cave with his hands: "The wind blows from here. This well is not solid, and it must be able to go somewhere." The fat man asked, "Could it be the back door leading to the palace of heaven and earth, the secret passage between the three-headed dragons you mentioned?" I said softly: "The three-headed dragon game has been proven to be false, and even if it is true, the secret path should be opened in the underground palace, how can it be opened here?"

The fat man said: "You don't understand. The barking sounds everywhere. Didn't you listen to what Chairman Mao said? The most dangerous place is the safest place. Maybe this is the strategy of 'barking'." Fatty couldn't remember Wang Zanghai's name for a while, so he nicknamed him casually, which made me almost laugh out loud.He said angrily: "Please show some respect. After all, Wang Zanghai is also a master of this school. You have to call Patriarch Master when you see him. And Chairman Mao said that, it was Chu Liuxiang." The fat man said: "Don't you recognize my ancestor for me, what patriarch, if he recognizes me, I will not recognize him, let's stop talking about this, what should we do with this hole? Do you want to go in and have a look? Maybe it will really let me As the saying goes, the corpse will also be a scourge in the future, if it makes a nest in this hole, it may harm people, let's go down and kill it."

Monk Hua shook his head and said it was impossible: "Since the constellation of dragons is fake, it is reasonable not to dig through the three mountains. They simply don't have the manpower and energy to do such a huge project. I'm afraid it will take a long time to build a Yunding Tiangong." That's enough. This hole is here, I'm afraid it's a lot of knowledge." I saw that his eyes were a little bright, and he obviously had an idea, so let him speak out, so that everyone can discuss it. Monk Hua said: "I'm just a preliminary idea, you may not believe it when I tell you."

The fat man said: "It's okay, let's talk about it first, if there are mistakes, comrades will help you correct them." Monk Hua laughed, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll talk about it. Let's not talk about other things, let's just say that the opening of this hole is in this place under the spiritual hall, which is very intriguing. You think, open this opening Here, it must be for the sake of concealment, and the wind blows out again, indicating that this hole is a passage leading to somewhere. Look again, all the chisel marks on the wall of the hole are reverse chisels, that is to say, the hole was made from the inside. It was opened, not entered from here. Three points. According to our experience, we can infer that this may be a road, and it may be the back road left by the craftsmen who repaired the tomb. If the ancient tomb is closed , you can escape from here."

I wondered: "Pathway? No way, so there is still an underground palace under here? Although there are no three-headed dragons here, a burial mausoleum was built?" Monk Hua shook his head: "It's not very likely. We didn't find the entrance to the underground palace under the tomb-sealing stone. If there is an entrance to the underground palace, it must be there. If there is no entrance, then there must be no underground palace. This is an eternal truth. Repair the entrance. If it is outside the Feng Shui level, it will be very bad for the Lord." The fat man said: "Wow, this man is acting very perversely. Maybe he just built the entrance somewhere else."

Monk Hua waved his hand: "Don't think so complicatedly. Wang Zanghai still has the limitations of the times. If he doesn't even obey the burial scriptures and acts recklessly, we won't be able to die ten thousand times." I thought so too, if you don't even abide by the burial scriptures, then you don't need to look at Feng Shui.Like Genghis Khan, he dug a hole and buried it in a random place, and no one has found it until now.Asked him: "Then since there is no underground palace below, where do you think this road leads to?" Monk Hua said: "Exclusion method, firstly, this road was built under the fake burial mausoleum, so it must have something to do with the craftsmen of Yunding Tiangong; second, where might such a road be built nearby? I have doubts, only the underground palace of Yunding Tiangong! So my conclusion-the row of roads is most likely to be dug all the way from the Tiangong and the underground palace under the Three Sacred Mountains." I immediately shouted: "How is this possible? It's too far away. If they really want to dig a road to make a back road, they don't need to dig the hole here. They can go directly to the Three Sacred Mountains. Isn't that possible?" Does it save a lot of effort? And how long does it take to dig such a long road in the mountains, at least twenty or thirty years? Can such a project be done by humans?" Monk Hua explained: "A huge project like Yunding Tiangong must have taken 60 to 70 years, or even several generations, to build in ancient times. I think the craftsmen inside knew that they would die in the end, so they secretly dug a row. It’s not impossible to find out. As for why they want to open the cave’s exit on another mountain so far away, there must be their own unavoidable reasons, and we’ll find out when we go down and have a look.” Ye Cheng, who had been listening all the time, asked, "Monk, are you sure about your idea?" Monk Hua paused, and said: "To be honest, I don't dare to say it, but I think it's worth a try. It's better than running again after we go out. Now all the signs show that this is a road. If I'm wrong, then there are other places below, and it's not a bad thing to enter. It's not the first time we've met this kind of avenue. There shouldn't be any danger. No one will set up traps on their way to escape. .” After I thought about it, Monk Hua's words were really attractive. When I came here, the Feng Shui theory was too messy. I couldn't figure out what Chen Pi Asi and the others said. I didn't care whether the Feng Shui here was good or bad.Second, on the other side, I don’t know what’s going on with Aning and the others. We’ve wasted a lot of time, and we still don’t know the purpose of Uncle San’s arrangement for this “going to the ground.” I'm sorry for his old man. Another consideration is that Shunzi may basically know what we do now, and now he stands silently on the side, not talking, but this person is not stupid, I have been looking at him and never moved his hands. The knife was more than two feet away from him, which means that this person is already on guard against us. Once this person returns to the village, who knows what he will do, maybe he will sell us right away. Chen Pi Asi must have considered this point. If we have to go back out of the mountain, the first thing we do before entering the village is to kill people or buy them with a lot of money. If we look for a guide at that time, we may not be able to find it. You went to the snow mountain once, and when you came back, the guide did not come back. He will take us in again. Secondly, there are probably not many people in the village who can take people up the snow-capped mountains. A few people discussed it and weighed it over and over again, but the opinions were not unified. Ye Cheng was afraid that the corpse would firmly disapprove, Pan Zi also thought it was weird, and the fat man and I thought we could try it.Monk Hua went to ask Chen Pi Asi for instructions, saying, old man, why don't we just make a move? Chen Pi Asi sat there with his eyes closed and listened to us. Monk Hua asked him several times, but for some reason, he didn't respond at all, and seemed to be asleep. The fat man couldn't hold back anymore, so he went to pat him and said: "Old man, you should say something, don't pretend to be cool here." After pushing, Chen Pi'a shook around, but still didn't open his eyes. When Monk Hua saw it, his face changed, and he ran up and grabbed the old man's hand, his face turned pale immediately, the fat man also ran over when he saw it, touched the old man's neck, and immediately changed his color: "Fuck, died!" When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, what?died?How is it possible, wasn't it fine a few minutes ago?But when we saw the fat man's face, the sweat on Monk Hua's forehead, and the unresponsive Chen Pi Asi, we all realized that something was wrong, and everyone immediately surrounded us. The old man on one side seemed to be stiff, with his eyes closed, sitting motionless, like an ice sculpture. I touched Chen Pi Asi's wrist, but I couldn't feel where his pulse was, but his skin was dry and astringent, and it was terribly cold.And the meat inside seemed to be stiff. Is it really dead?I was horrified, when we were studying the pit, Chen Pi Asi was sitting here, and his heart stopped beating slowly? Although this is very consistent with the death method of hypothermia, hypothermia requires at least 20 minutes of low temperature to truly die. We only sat for less than five minutes. How could he die suddenly?This doesn't make sense either. I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart, the fat man is unreliable in his words, he only touched Chen Pi Asi's neck, and the judgment of death is too arbitrary.It might just be in shock. I ran too fast just now. How could a ninety-year-old man bear it? However, Monk Hua frowned, opened the old man's eyes, and shone them with a flashlight.His face became more and more ugly, and finally he looked back at Ye Cheng and shook his head. Monk Hua has some medical knowledge. When we saw him shaking his head, we immediately took a deep breath, knowing that there was no mistake, we were really dead. Pan Zi asked softly, "What's going on, how did you die?" Monk Hua sighed.I don't know whether to say I don't know or I don't want to talk, I slumped on the ground with a sullen face.The fat man pulled Pan Zi once and said, "At such an age, I can die however I want." I couldn't help sighing, as expected, for an old man in his nineties, it was really too much to force him to come here. It is reasonable to say that this kind of thing happened by accident, this Chen Pi Asi probably never imagined that he would Die like this.It can be regarded as his retribution. My grandfather passed away suddenly in the same way. I was eating at that time. One minute he was still asking me to get him a drink, and the next minute he went. My father said that many grave robbers were exposed to a lot of people in their early years. Because of the grave qi, the heart will be damaged to a certain extent, so most of them die like this when they are old. It’s okay, this is the most comfortable way to die. We were all at a loss. On the one hand, Chen Pi Asi was their leader. Now that he is dead, it is meaningless for Ye Cheng and Monk Hua to stay here.Secondly, we got a big deal and got here smoothly, but once Chen Pi Asi died, Boyoupin was gone.I'm afraid it's enough to rely on Fatty and Pan Zi to lead us. When I was thinking about it quickly, Chen Pi Asi suddenly trembled, and I was startled, thinking it was a conditioned reflex movement, who knew that with a "snap", my neck was tightly pinched by him, and at the same time, he kept on violently , eyes opened. We were all taken aback, Ye Chengcheng slipped and fell five or six meters, the fat man and Pan Zi hurriedly stepped back, the fat man exclaimed, "Fake corpse!" I hurriedly wanted to break my hand away, but I didn't expect that the old man's withered branch-like hand was extremely strong, like a vice, and he couldn't even move it.Busy coughing and shouting: "Bring... the hoof, hurry up!" Before I finished speaking, Chen Pi Asi suddenly let go of my neck, pushed me, and cursed: "What are you talking about?" My mind was already in confusion, and I hurriedly retreated behind the fat man, but the fat man blocked me from passing. At this moment, I suddenly thought, no, the zombie can still talk?Looking at Chen Pi Ah Si again, it is obvious that the spirit of the person has also improved, and the breathing has also recovered. The few of us looked at Chen Pi Asi with puzzled faces, not knowing what happened just now, the fat man even glanced at Chen Pi Asi, very puzzled, but now Chen Pi Asi seemed to be back to normal Similarly, it is not obvious that the pulse stopped beating just now.It seems that what we saw at that moment was an illusion. Monk Hua was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and asked, "Old man, are you okay? You were just..." Chen Pi Asi didn't seem to know that he had just died once, so he glanced at him inexplicably, lit a cigarette, and said, "What?" Seeing Chen Pi Asi's expression, Monk Hua was also a little dizzy, not knowing what to say. Chen Pi Asi gave him a cold look and said, "Don't worry, old man, I won't die so easily." I looked at Chen Pi Asi's appearance and tone, the same as before, and he didn't seem to be resurrected by some ghost, and suddenly felt that he was tricked by him just now?But why would he want to play this kind of trick? He's so old. Chen Pi Asi was "resurrected" all of a sudden, and no one reacted immediately, but judging by his appearance, we can't push him down and dissect him to see what's going on.I began to wonder if Monk Hua and Fatty had made a mistake just now. It is difficult to feel the pulse of the elderly, and the two barefoot doctors may not have touched the right place at all.And Chen Pi Asi is old after all, it is normal for him to be dazed occasionally. Several people looked puzzled, but they couldn't express it. Although Monk Hua was surprised, he felt relieved when he saw that Chen Pi Asi was fine, so he said what we discussed just now. Chen Pi Asi looked at the ice cave and pondered for a while, then said: "It makes sense, Seems worth a try."
