Ghost Blows Out the Light

We were only looking at the dead fish on the ground, and we didn't even know when Ah Xiang disappeared, but she must have made no noise of struggling for help, otherwise no one would have noticed. Everyone was worried, and they all felt that this time was really ominous. Dorje is missing, I am afraid that those things that come to suck the blood of the dead after the sacrifice will be captured.

But then I looked at the set of footprints, the blood was fresh, and there was only one person's footprint. Judging from the shape of the bloody footprints, it should be A Xiang's. It was about a dozen steps, and it was not obvious to the place where the mummy was piled up.

If she was caught by something, it would definitely not be too long. If we chase her now, there might be a chance to rescue her. We didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly followed the direction of the footprints, over the piled mummy, corpse There were bloody footprints under the pile, and we looked around and went behind the altar. We rushed over in three steps and two steps, bypassing Yushan, and saw a hole between the crystal layers behind the mountain. I don’t know where it leads. , a slender figure flashed into the hole.

Although there was only a flash of a figure, but judging by the appearance and complexion, there was a high probability that it was Ah Xiang. There seemed to be nothing else around her. She was bleeding so much by herself, what did she want to come here?I became suspicious and slowed down a bit, but Shirley Yang quickened his pace and rushed from behind to catch up with Axiang. Uncle Ming also called out Axiang's name loudly.

The cave of this altar was separated by clouds and mist at the beginning, and the movement of Thunder Mountain completely dissipated the stone smoke. Layers of rising mist, stone smoke and hazy atmosphere, full of silence and blurred atmosphere, making everything around seem unreal, and the mountain gap on the edge of the cave is even more unpredictable. Intuition tells me that this cave is not an ordinary place to go, the crystal veins in the cave are gradually decreasing, the fluorescence is dim, and there is a faint dangerous atmosphere, but I saw that Shirley Yang had already rushed in, so I didn't think about it anymore. After hesitating, he raised the "wolf eye" flashlight and followed her into the cave.

As soon as everyone entered the cave, within a few steps, they had caught up with the figure they had seen before. It was Axiang, but she seemed to be suffering from sleepwalking, her absent-minded eyes were staring straight ahead, her nose Blood was dripping from the inside of the cave, but she didn't notice it, and she didn't respond to our arrival, she just walked deeper into the cave step by step.

I stretched out my hand to grab him, but Uncle Ming hurriedly stopped her: "Don't disturb her, brother Hu, Ah Xiang seems to be suffering from soul-leaving disease. She must wake up from the soul-leaving disease, and her soul will come back when she touches her." I won’t come, she didn’t have this kind of symptoms before, maybe she’s bewitched?”

I didn't dare to move rashly for a while, but Ah Xiang's nose kept dripping blood, and due to the excessive blood loss, her face was already pale. No matter what she said, even bleeding could kill people. Shirley Yang said: "Stimulants such as nitrous sulfur Sexual scents can restore consciousness to those suffering from mental illness." After finishing speaking, she took out the "Northern Profound Bead", and just about to start, she found that A Xiang had a sharp crystal stone fragment in her hand at some point, and was aiming at herself. Slowly pierced in the eyes.

Shirley Yang hurriedly wiped the "Northern Profound Bead" on Ah Xiang's nose, Ah Xiang coughed violently, her body went limp, and she immediately fell to the ground. Shirley Yang and I quickly helped her sit up, raised her head, Press the upper earbone to stop the bleeding, thanks to the timely discovery, but what happened to her?Why did you go into this cave?Why did she want to pierce her own eyes?Could it be that something in the hole had lost her mind?

Shirley Yang told me that Axiang must not be able to go on any longer, and it is best to let her rest here for a while.I nodded and agreed, rest for half an hour first, it doesn't matter if you can't go, the fat man and I have to carry her back even if we lift her, Ah Xiang is lucky, I asked the fat man for a few shells of molted turtles, and crushed them with stones Yes, let Shirley Yang feed her. This priceless turtle shell is a panacea that can nourish blood and nourish the spirit. The fat man will inevitably feel distressed. It was not much in total. It was all cheap Ah Xiang, and now it is the size of a palm. After much deliberation, this debt will naturally be calculated on Uncle Ming's head, let him write an IOU, and he will have to pay back the money when he goes back. Don't even think about repaying the debt, and then go out and drag in two dead strange fish. The red-eyed will be hungry, thinking how many years the ritual of killing has been neglected, this thing may not have really sucked human blood like its ancestors, scraped off the scales with a knife and roasted it randomly, it is enough to satisfy the hunger.

I looked around with a flashlight to look at the terrain. The cave is very narrow and not deep. We chased Axiang and it was almost the end. Hold up the "wolf eye" and you can see the end situation in the light beam. There was a wall made of boulders. There were three very low door openings under the wall. On the thick stone wall, there was a totem of a blood-dropping eyeball, and the eyes were full of evil.

When everyone saw the bloody eye, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and were silent for a while. Even the map of the bible drawn by the Portuguese priest secretly from the Samsara Temple did not have such a place, and all the legends recorded that the underground altar of "E Luohai City" There is only one passage, and where is behind this wall?What do those bloody eyes imply?

Shirley Yang said that this bleeding eye should correspond to the closed eye in front of the white tunnel. In many places in Eluohai City, you can see various eyeball totems. The eyeballs of the eyes all play a role of dividing the area or warning, but it is easy to understand when the eyes are closed, but there are many possibilities for blood dripping. The more likely one is to serve as a warning, indicating that this wall is a forbidden area, which is worse than the altar. An important secret restricted area.

I looked in front of the stone wall at the end of the cave, and there was a fishy smell coming from the three low door openings below. I wiped it with my hand, and there was still a sticky liquid. There were some fish scale-like wafers hanging on the stone. The things that sucked blood after the sacrificial activities crawled in from behind the wall, so there may be water behind the wall, the texture of the stone wall is inconsistent, it seems that it was once broken, and then repaired It was raised, or it was not a wall but a stone gate at first, and it was blocked for some reason.

After a while, Ah Xiang regained some sanity, her face was frighteningly pale, and her body was very weak, and it was difficult for her to speak. Shirley Yang asked her what happened just now?Do you know what you are doing?

Ah Xiang shook her head first, and then said that when she was under the Tianliang, she suddenly felt very scared. There was only one thought in her mind, which was to leave as soon as possible, never to look at those mummy again, and walked here by herself in a daze , I don't even understand why I do this.

Uncle Ming said: "My goddaughter's nose will bleed when she sees something dark, and it's like this again this time. After all, she is too young, and she doesn't know good and bad about some things, but we are all troubled I've walked here many times, so I naturally know the stakes, it seems that it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you listen to me right, it's safest for us to go back the same way."

I thought about it. If I go back the same way, I will turn back to the volcanic island in the middle of the lake at most. Although there are a few underground rivers there, they are basically in a desperate situation, and the underground river is so fast that it is impossible to find a way with the injured. , and although there may be danger behind this wall, there is still a certain chance to find the path. In addition, Ah Xiang came here in a trance, indicating that there must be some secrets hidden underground, and letting it go is always a hidden danger. Since the cave behind the altar There is such a place hidden inside, maybe it has something to do with the ghost cave, cutting the grass requires hoeing the roots, if there is no complete settlement, I am afraid that there will never be peace after returning.

I looked at the compass on my watch. The stone wall was not aligned with the white tunnel from east to west. It was located in the north-northwest. With this defense, I immediately made up my mind, but I still had to seek the consent of the other members first.

Shirley Yang said, the way was blocked by a lot of falling crystals, and it was not easy to turn back. There are still two bombs left in the pull fire bomb, which cannot be blown up. There is another option, It is to climb to the top of the cave, use a gun to break the roof, and pour the lake water from the top down. After filling the cave, you can swim back to the underground lake. A long time, life-threatening.

At this time, Uncle Ming hesitated again, and strongly advocated going back from the underground lake. He is a superstitious person, so of course he would not go to a place with a heavy cloud, and said to me: "Are there any mistakes, Brother Hu? Didn’t your senior brother say that we got the middle way when we encountered water this time? I think this point is very correct, but we don’t know if there is water behind this wall, so how can we turn a deaf ear to the advice of an expert?”

I secretly scolded the old gang farmer for being slow again, but what can I do with him?If I agree, I will leave him alone, but Shirley Yang, who believes in God, will definitely not agree to do so. If he takes Uncle Ming with him, although his mental state has recovered a little now, it is difficult to guarantee when his paranoia will end. I made another mistake, if we do it again, we won’t be able to eat and walk away. I thought about it, and I thought that people like Uncle Ming also have a weakness, which is excessive superstition. Why don’t I take advantage of him and let him firmly believe that this is a good idea? Where is the way out?

Thinking of this, I told Uncle Ming that it is true that you can find the middle way when you meet water. The flowing water in the Lijiang River also implies the direction. In the five elements, the north represents water, the number of water is one, and the number of six is ​​water. North is water.

But this obviously can't convince Uncle Ming, because he can't understand it at all. In fact, I don't understand it either, but my study of Fengshui secrets is naturally inseparable from Yishu such as five elements and eight trigrams. However, I still know some of the principles of the generation and restraint of the five elements. Of course, there are some that I heard from Zhang Yingchuan when I met Zhang Yingchuan, so I remarked to Uncle Ming: "The numbers of the eight trigrams and the five elements are all from Hetu , What is Hetu? When Fuxi was king, that is, when Fuxi was the leader, he was worried, every day. Think about it, the old cadres at that time, there was no such thing as corruption, they all had a special sense of responsibility , worrying about the country and the people all day long, one day he sat under an apple tree by the river and thought about national affairs..."

The fat man was lighting the fire to grill the fish. Hearing what I said, he couldn't help interjecting: "Old Hu, I also know what you said. Did an apple fall and hit him on the head, making gold stars appear in front of his eyes?" , and comprehend the gossip and Taiji diagram."

I said to the fat man, you don't know, can you stop meddling?It was Newton who caused the apple to hit his head. Fuxi was worried under an apple tree by the river, thinking about the fate of his subjects. In that primitive era, there were many disasters, and the people were living in dire straits. Human beings have very limited understanding of the natural universe. Fuxi prayed to the river, hoping to get some instructions on how to let the common people avoid disasters and live and work in peace and contentment.

At this time, a dragon horse jumped out of the river with a picture on its back, so Fuxi used its pattern to draw gossip. Some people said that what the dragon horse carried was a huge turtle shell. Maybe the dragon horse itself was an old turtle. , there are wonderful textures formed naturally on the carapace. No matter what the legend is, this is the river map. Fuxi drew the gossip according to the shape in the picture. This is the earliest human understanding of the universe and the world, and the way of heaven is in it. According to records, the texture pattern of the dragon-horse negative map has one white spot, six black spots on the back near the tail, seven black spots, and two white spots on the back near the head... There are differences in each. There are 55 black and white spots in the river map in total, white There are 25, which are called the number of days, and the black thirty are used as the number of the earth, and the white represents Yang. [-], [-], representing yin, are called earth numbers. At the same time, one, two, three, four, and five are regarded as birth numbers in the river map, and six, seven, eight, nine, and ten are called success numbers. The relationship between generation and generation, each of the five orientations has an odd and an even, and they are matched with two groups of symbolic numbers, which are used to represent that everything in the world is formed by the combination of yin and yang, which means that Tai Chi connects heaven and earth. Nature is born, nature is formed.

That's why it is said that the north is the place where yang energy begins to grow. The number of birth is one, and the number of six is ​​called water in the sky, and six in the earth. The laws of all things in nature are in it, so I said that if you go to the north, you will be able to When you meet the water, you get the middle way.

After hearing this, Shirley Yang couldn't help admiring: "I didn't expect you to know so many messy things. I used to think that besides looking at Feng Shui, you only knew how to count money."

I heard that even Shirley Yang said that I was knowledgeable, so I was naturally proud of it, and I was almost out of control, but I still said modestly that I actually know a lot, but you usually don’t give me a chance to say it. Now everyone can rest assured that all the theories in the world are based on objective and existing facts, so I dare to say that the north must be a student, because there is another very important reason, Captain Mojin There is an ancient rule that when you enter an ancient tomb to touch gold, you must first light up a lamp in the southeast corner, because the southeast is the direction of disasters and things, disasters are disasters, and things are doing things. It is the way of life. The northwest, northeast and north are the three gates of Kai, Xiu and Sheng. Among the eight gates, only these three are Jimen. In the northwest." Also in the eyes of people who are proficient in yin-yang feng shui, everything in the world, including the political situation, has always been weak in the south and strong in the north. It has always been that things happen in the south and achievements are harvested in the north. Looking at the north from a strategic perspective, The Northwest and Northeast occupy absolute strategic advantages, and the North has raw water, which is a good situation and vitality.

These words convinced Uncle Ming that he was convinced that it was right to go north. If he wanted to get out alive, this was the only way to go. So everyone took a rest and got into the short hole at the end. , I stared at the bloody eyeball on the stone wall again, could this totem have anything to do with Ah Xiang's dazzling actions?I feel a little uneasy in my heart. In fact, those words about the water in the north are used to perfuse Uncle Ming. I don’t have much confidence in myself, but it’s not feasible to go other ways. I hope this is a way out.

Once out of the low doorway, a magnificent underground canyon appeared in front of me. The cliffs on both sides seemed to be cut and lifeless. Nearby, the outline could be seen through the glimmer of the ore. It was so dark that I couldn’t forget my head. I walked forward tens of meters and found that the canyon criss-crossed and was full of skeleton fossils of huge creatures. The nearest triangular skull was not much smaller than a private house. At the edge of the canyon, countless bone fossils have grown together with the rocks, and only those long spines indicate that the rocks were once alive.

The fat man said to us with the drowsy Axiang on his back: "Didn't you say that the people of the Demon Kingdom are willing to offer snakes? There are so many corpses of big snakes here. I think we should be more careful, maybe there are still alive."

Shirley Yang said that the skeletons in this underground canyon do not look like snakes, but rather like dragon king whales, and they all died for tens of millions of years, at least.I also agree with Shirley Yang's opinion. You are right. How can snakes have such big ribs? They almost catch up with the ribs of ships. All the bones are fossils. There are no modern bones, so don't worry about anything. But we still don't know what the Eluohai people have done here, so we still need to be careful.

We were about to walk forward to explore the road, when Ah Xiang suddenly said to me that there was something on the side and rear, which made her feel a headache. We hurriedly turned around to look, and we couldn't help but say "ah" There was a sound, both surprising and strange, and no one expected that right at the place where we came out, there was a giant black statue embedded in the mountain like the Leshan Giant Buddha. The sporadic fluorescent lights on the mountain set off its tall and dark silhouette, like The ferocious shadow, with its back facing us, and the most peculiar thing is that the huge god statue tens of meters high leans forward, its face and two arms are sunk into the mountain, its posture looks like Leaning over to peek into the mountains, its craftsmanship is not as exquisite and complicated as that of Buddha statues, it only has an outline without any decoration and texture.

Everyone has a question, is this the true image of "Da Hei Tian Da Lei Shan"?What exactly is this place?We then discovered that the colossus has faces on both sides, and the body is the same front and back, with no distinction between the front and the back. It has only two arms, but no feet. There is a doorway about ten feet high where the colossus connects to the ground. There seemed to be some space, and there were several collapsed stone pillars in front of the door.

The fat man said that it was hard to find a well-preserved building, why not go in and explore, find some valuable things and go back, or we will really lose money on this trip.

I also want to go in and have a look. I raised my head to look at the tall colossus, and almost tripped over something under my feet. It turns out that there are many similar stone pillars in the canyon. There is one fallen under our feet, most of which are submerged. After clearing the soil, Shirley Yang looked at the stone pillar under his feet, and suddenly said that he knew where it was, but he didn't say it directly, but said to Ah Xiang: "Can you let me take a closer look at your eyes?"
