Chapter 49: The Secret Forest
The cloud of death has always been suppressed in this team that is hostile to me, all of them are human beings, and this sudden change has made everyone become very silent. This heavy rain has only completely stopped for a bit, we once again pitched a tent, if we rush at night, now not to mention the question of whether we have the guts or not, the morale does not allow it.
"I came over here to play, you guys came early, this side of the snake and what other evil things?" At this time Old Zhu asked me.
I shook my head and said, "I really don't know about that, playing with snakes, that sorcerer is the oldest ancestor, he will sacrifice to those snakes to understand their habits, just be careful with the corpses of those dead people, those snakes seem to be able to manipulate them. Not necessarily though."
"Snakes manipulate corpses, are they still called fucking snakes then?" Old Zhu asked.
"Who knows, I've been attacked by the corpse of that gopher that was, at one point, offered to the snakes in this mountain." I said.
Old Zhu wasn't talking, but let me rest for a while, now it's not far from that so-called dragon snake tomb, even if I rush tomorrow morning, I should be able to get there before noon, and I'm indeed also exhausted. Just used hot water to soak my feet are also sleepy up, this night is still considered to be peaceful. Early the next morning, we continue to rush, the rush team stopped before a canyon, almost many people stand unsteadily at the situation in front of them.
"Groundhog lied, he definitely didn't just come along with a few loose bandits to casually dig a hole last time he was here." Old Zhu cursed.
I nodded, deeply share the same feeling, this scene in front of us is really too shocking, right in front of our eyes, is a mountain of piled up snake skins, this is countless snakes molting only to experience a bizarre scene, just look at the number of snake molts, it is impossible to estimate the number of snakes inside this mountain inside here, it can only be measured by the number of countless.
Mouse before has been emphasizing with us that he was just idle boredom, just a few foreign small scattered pirates called him up to step on a point, after sort of unintentionally got the jade pendant. Before we did not feel, now know that it is completely bullshit, even if it is a professional inverted children's gang crime, see this snake mountain have to consider some, a few of them to be really bored to see, will not realize the danger of this place?
"When we go back, check the bottom of this ground rat." Old Zhu said.
"Don't fucking think about those have-nots, are we still going in now? I think there are probably ten thousand snakes guarding inside, just five or six of us are not enough for them to stuff their teeth." I said.
"All walked here, if we don't go in, how can our hearts not be painful, let's go." Old Zhu waved his hand and said.
But the two of us started, the people behind us didn't follow, Old Zhu turned around and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"What the boss said was for us to follow the one surnamed Zhao, but didn't let the brothers go to their deaths, Old Zhu if you want to go, go by yourself, we brothers won't accompany you to play, and ah, I'll burn paper money for you during the Ching Ming Festival." That old black who had always seemed to have courage and tactlessness said.
This is the relationship that money piles up, Old Zhu wanted to get angry, I stopped him and said, "It's true that people have their own aspirations, besides, if we really encounter the snakes, it doesn't matter at all if there are a few more of them and a few less of them."
So just like this, when we are about to arrive at the destination, parted ways once, in the village flaunted these people, now almost has been completely scared of the gall, it is no wonder, these people follow Huang Lao itself is for the sake of the money, but there is money to earn also need to have a life to spend is not it?
Old Zhu and I so alone through this sort of canyon place, in front of a similar rainforest like place, the terrain here is on the low side, this recent period of time is considered the rainy season, here is a collection of water, although there is no lake and so on, but it is muddy, walking is very difficult, Old Zhu with a compass, walk for a while will have to look at the map to compare the compass.
"It has rained before, plus last night's heavy rainstorm, according to the terrain here, this should not just be muddy, but will converge into a small lake, at least according to such low terrain, this should also be a swamp, but no, you do not feel strange?" Old Zhu asked me.
"Don't you tell me this, I didn't study this major in college, and I'm not a pourer." I said.
"You do not say this I thought you all understand, if in accordance with the feng shui geography, this place should be considered a dragon sucking water, although this is not a big mountain, but a mountain and a dragon, to the terrain here to form a maximum valley, is considered to be a dragon sucking water, it seems that this is not a tomb, according to this geographic pattern, this place is not suitable for the burial of people , more suitable as a temple-like existence." Old Zhu said.
"That's not right, no one has ever said that this place is a tomb, looking at that sorcerer's reaction this should be a temple, the temple is dedicated to the great god of the dragon snake and the yellow skinned lady." I said.
"Deep in the mountains to build a temple, and history has never recorded, really fucking strange, and this temple is not on the ground, it is underground, this underground temple also has a relatively perfect underground drainage system, the water here should be gathered into a small river through the temple's underground drainage system discharged, this should be a big project, so I feel this place is very strange , it shouldn't be ah, such a big project, how could there not be any local records?" Old Zhu said.
We just talk while rushing, according to the old Zhu's words, the entrance into this underground dragon snake temple, should be in the lowest part of this basin-like place, we can only continue to rush like this, in the mud itself makes it hard to walk, we walk and stop, but it seems that we can never reach that lowest place, eventually I tired to lean against a tree and just lie down and said: "How can it be so far, not walking not walking."
Old Zhu holding a compass, face very ugly said: "small three two, I guess we got caught up in the road, how do I feel that we are circling around in the same place?"
"I'm not the one leading the way, it's you, do you even have to suspect me for this?" I scolded.
He shook his head and said, "It should be the problem of this temple itself, this is a formation, made with Qi Men Dun Jia, have you seen the Shooting Eagles, Huang Yakshi's Peach Blossom Island is lined up according to Qi Men Dun Jia, as long as you go in it's hard to come out again, it should be the same here, according to a Qi Men Dun Jia a formation is made, so that anyone who comes in has no way to find the entrance, and can't get out either. "
"Can't get out?" I wondered.
Old Zhu nodded and said, "What did you expect? We just want to leave now, I guess we can't even leave."
I was powerless, looking for old Zhu asked for a child cigarette, leaning on the tree slowly smoked up, I actually until now are not very worried, may be the reason that my child mentality, I always feel that my second uncle will certainly save me, how I can not starve to death in this place is not?
Old Zhu seems to be able to see my thoughts, scolded: "Your second uncle can lead the snake to get you, do not expect him, a person who has not seen you since childhood, you really expect him to have multiple feelings for you?"
I did not believe the words of the old Zhu, the two of us so stop and stop, and finally I despair, because we left the next mark, from noon to close to the night, we are in circles, simply can not get out of this misty wetlands, to the night time, my legs are like lead, the whole person is even more tired of a sentence did not say directly fell asleep in the past.
This sleep is dark, I knitted expect my grandfather can give me some guidance in the dream, but no, this dream is full of snakes, dense snake shadow, to the end of the dream even dreamed of that beautiful boss, naked, but the lower body into a snake, I cursed in the dream you fucking even a beauty snake! Then I was woken up by a slap in the face, how painful this slap must be to wake me up.
I don't need to think about it to know that it was Lao Zhu who smoked it, I opened my eyes and was about to curse him, but he covered his mouth, and he said to me, "Don't heave a word, listen to it."
I pricked up my ears and realized that in this silent rainforest, there came the sound of dense footsteps.
"Snakes?" I asked, also dumbfounded.
"Not like that, rather like people." He said.
I was instantly happy, people, the person who was here could be my second uncle! It is at this time, the footsteps finally approached us, I stretched out my head to see, my scalp almost gave out, in front of me is the emergence of a team of people, but this pair of people wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, with carrion hanging on their bodies, some can even see the long braid, this is a set of corrupted corpses, but they are walking in the night.
I turned around and all wanted to escape, but I was held down to death by Old Zhu.
