Chapter 117 In the mouth of the toad

There is a magnificent palace at the highest point among the reliefs on the mausoleum. The moon city turret, the inner city, the monument, the monument, the sacred wall, the stele, the pavilion, the hall, the spiritual platform and other buildings are all available. The mountains and rivers behind are all distant views. There are no hill foundations under the palace, but

There are several rays of light and rainbow shadows, flying in the sky, surrounded by flying dragons, showing the style of an otherworldly fairy pavilion.

The content below shows the Shinto under Xuan Palace. Mountains stretch on both sides of the Shinto, and the towering peaks convey a sense of majesty and majesty, making the castles in the air even more majestic. This Shinto should be the one called Insect Valley.

There is a valley.

The fat man looked at it and laughed and said: Mr. Xian Wang is crazy about wanting to be a god. He even built his tomb like the Jade Emperor's heavenly palace and built a damn building in the sky. It would be better to bury him directly on the moon.

Said: No one knows the details inside the tomb of King Xian now. All the clues say that the tomb of the king is in the water dragon halo. No matter how magical the water dragon halo is, I don't believe that there are places in this world that violate the principles of physics. This

The carvings on the back of the Zhenling Pu must have been artistically processed or have other meanings.

I told Fatty He: The so-called water dragon just refers to a waterfall with a large flow; the halo is the neon produced by the rising water vapor, which is tangible and intangible, so it was regarded by the ancients as a fairy bridge and it was impossible to build a building on it.

The sculptures we see in this palace should not be the royal tombs, but the above-ground sacrificial facilities of the royal tombs, called Minglou. According to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the underground palace of the royal tombs should be ten feet below the ground of the Minglou.

This tradition was preserved until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

I asked: If it is a sacrificial facility, Minglou, that is to say, after King Xian's death, at certain intervals, someone would enter the Minglou to hold a worship ceremony. But according to the record on the human skin map, King Xian

A long-lasting poisonous miasma has been set up around the tomb, making it impossible for outsiders to enter. Where did the people who worshiped the king get in? Is there a secret passage that can pass through the poisonous mist?

There are no more than two reasons for the occurrence of miasma in the valley. One is due to the topography, deep mountains and valleys, poor air circulation, excessive concentration of moisture produced by these plants, and the mixing of the rotting corpses of various animals that died in it.

In it, poisonous miasma will arise.

There is another method, which may be that after the king's tomb was completed and the king was buried, the miasma was artificially set up. The low terrain in the insect valley was used to plant special plants in deep unventilated places. These plants themselves are poisonous, so that

Once there, a barrier was formed to protect the tomb of the king. However, it is not necessarily poisonous plants. It is said that the depths of the Insect Valley are not ventilated. The technology of refining mercury from mercury sulfide was very mature during the Qin and Han Dynasties. It may also be placed nearby.

A large amount of mercury; over time, mercury volatilized in the air and formed toxic substances. However, this possibility is unlikely. Even if the air in the valley is not circulating, it is still an exposed space after all, unless the craftsmen who built the tomb of King Xian had other methods.

The three of them discussed it for a while, then took out the blind man's human skin map for comparison. They found that the map had a little less than the Zhenling genealogy. On the stone carvings on the back of the Zhenling genealogy, there was a strange-shaped bird carved in a place in the valley.

Toad, toad has its mouth wide open; near the tomb of King Xian, there is also a symmetrical toad with its mouth wide open.

In the human skin map, there is only one toad in the valley, and the mouth of this toad is closed. The person who drew the human skin map to the King of Dian knew nothing about the situation after the miasma and only roughly marked the

Some features of the periphery have been revealed. It is obvious that the internal situation of King Xian’s tomb is strictly confidential and not everyone can know it.

This small difference is difficult to detect if you don't pay attention. Because there are many rare birds and animals on the Zhenling Map and the Human Skin Map, these animals do not necessarily exist near the tomb of King Xian, and some are just symbols.

The nature is drawn on it. This is related to the world view of ancient people, just like some ancient maps use dragons to represent rivers and turtles to represent majestic mountain peaks.

However, this toad is very inconspicuous. It seems that it is not accurate to call it a toad. Although the shape is similar, the posture is definitely not the same. It has a very hateful face, with a round belly, lower limbs on the ground, and the forelimbs are held in front of the chest like a door, and raised high.

His head, his eyes were wide-eyed as if he were dead, his nostrils turned upward, and his strange mouth was so big that it was simply out of proportion to his body.

I pointed to the toad on the mausoleum map and said: The two toads inside and outside are completely symmetrical. This is the only symmetrical place in the valley in the valley in the whole picture. It is probably the passage through the poisonous miasma underground during the sacrifice. The toads

The strange mouth should be the gate. There is only one marked on the human skin map. That is because the person who drew the map does not know the situation inside. As long as we find this place in the Worm Valley, we can enter the deep Tomb of King Xian.

He agreed with my judgment, but the fat man didn't understand it at all, so he had to listen and drink. We confirmed it several times in the picture. As long as we can find the valley, we are sure to find this bird that may be hiding there.

There is a toad with a secret passage. As for whether it is a stone statue or somewhere else, we will know once we find the place.

We got off the back of Jiaotu and looked around. We were surrounded by two fallen trees, a broken jade coffin, the wreckage of a C-type transport plane, and the big eagle that was shot into a ball of rags by a Chicago typewriter.

There are many swans, and the most numerous are the countless corpses in the tree.

The fat man kicked the carcass of the eagle on the ground and said: Beat it to pieces, or pluck the feathers and roast them, and you will have lunch today.

I said to him: Don't worry about the dead bird for now. Go to the wreckage of the cabin and see if there are any usable guns and ammunition. Collect them all and take some with us when we go out; there are all kinds of wild beasts in this forest.

There are too many, and I'm afraid I won't be able to cope with the lack of bullets.

The wreckage of the C-type transport plane fell from the tree and was completely shattered. The fat man opened the damaged aluminum shell and rummaged through it, looking for anything that could still be used.

We went to clean up the skeleton of the U.S. Air Force pilot from the bones of various animals. I took off the double-ended clamp in his hand and pinched it a few times. It made a clicking sound, thinking that the jade coffin was leaking

The blood dripping on the jade also makes a dripping sound, the eagle pecking at the tree lizard in the cabin also makes a signal-like sound, and the sound of the python hitting the jade coffin is a ghost signal.

I'm afraid it's impossible to confirm where the code came from. A thing that happened in a dark night in the jungle, various factors have a great impact on people's judgment; who can do anything in the dark?

Make it clear. I prefer to believe that it is the ghost of this American pilot who is giving us a warning.

However, one special thing caught our attention, that is, the clothing markings worn by this pilot belong to the bomber formation, not the transport aircraft; in addition, there is a piece of tattered white cloth behind him, which says "United States Air Force".

Hua aids in the war, soldiers and civilians, etc., assist as one.

This shows that he is not a member of this C-type transport aircraft. The climate in this area is complicated. Due to the large drop in the mountains and basins, the air flow and pressure are extremely unstable. It can indeed be said to be a graveyard of airplanes. There should be others nearby.

The plane crashed. And this survivor fell victim to the jade coffin when he walked out of the jungle. Maybe we will encounter other plane wreckage during our next trip.

So I dug a hole in the ground with an engineering shovel, hoping to bury the pilot's body. But I found that the ground here was too wet, and after only a few digs, it was filled with plant roots, kilograms of stinkbug eggs, and white flowers.

It's extremely disgusting. The environment here is so special. Although it is in the subtropics, it is closer to the tropical rainforest south of the Tropic of Cancer and north of the Tropic of Cancer. The Lancang and Nujiang river systems continue to wash away the abundant groundwater resources and humidity in this low-lying left area.

The windless environment led to the proliferation of a large number of plants. The ground was full of thick roots of various plants, which was not suitable for burying people at all. No wonder the priest was buried in a tree.

I discussed it with him and decided to temporarily use the cabin wreckage of the C-type transport plane as a coffin and temporarily store his bones in it. After returning, we would notify their people to take them back to the country.

At this time, the fat man had already picked up three or four intact Thompson submachine guns, as well as more than ten magazines and drums. At that moment, helpers rolled up the American's bones in a thin blanket, stuffed them into the cabin, and then put as much as possible into the cabin.

The gaps in the cabin were blocked with stones.

A cross was tied with branches and erected in front of the wreckage of the C-type transport plane. We stood in front of the cross and took out our Bibles and recited a few words silently, hoping that this American airman who sacrificed his life for human freedom could rest in peace.

This situation reminded me of facing the bodies of my fallen comrades on the front line. Suddenly I felt my nose was a little sore. I blinked hard and looked up at the sky.

The fat man suddenly took two steps forward and said: Rest in peace, dear friend, I understand your unfulfilled wish. We are responsible for the glorious post-war construction. Rest in peace, dear friend, the white clouds and blue sky will sing your praises.

, the top of Qingfeng is passing garlands for you. The flowers and blood grass all over the mountain tell us that a martyr lies here.

I had always been helpless at the fat man's words and deeds. Seeing that it was almost noon, and if we delayed any longer, we would not be able to reach the entrance of the valley today, I called them to set off.

Although the Thompson submachine gun has a lot of weight, after this long night, we fully realized the importance of submachine guns in the jungle. Except that we were not used to using this typewriter, Fatty and I each picked one. The Jianwei and

The remaining Type 64 pistol will be used for the time being. Carry as many magazines and drums as you can, and also carry the black waterproof plastic bags used to seal the firearms.

We continued to move along Zhelong Mountain, eating some dry food to satisfy our hunger while walking. Today's journey was relatively easy. We learned from yesterday's lesson and tried to walk on the slopes of the mountains as close as possible. The part where the mountains and forests meet, the plants

It is much sparser than the depths of the jungle. Due to the moderate density, it is like a natural air filter and purifier. There is neither the humidity and heat in the jungle nor the suffocating cold caused by the high altitude in the mountains. The fragrance of flowers and trees comes in.

The heart and spleen feel refreshed and the mind is clear, and the sleepiness throughout the day and night seems to be less obvious.

After walking northwest for four or five hours in this way, I saw a large area of ​​flower trees with red, white and yellow flowers the size of a bowl, and countless large butterflies dancing. There was a large stream passing through the flower trees.

Deep in the forest is a forest on a forest, that is, the trees are very tall. The big trees are concentrated together and are obviously half taller than the nearby plants, so they are called forests on the forest. This winding stream may be what the locals say.

The Snake River system is concentrated underground in this area, and there is only this stream on the surface.

The stream flowed through the flowers and trees, passed through a large forest, and flowed into a deep valley in the distance. Due to the dense vegetation and undulating terrain, it was impossible to see what was inside the valley with a telescope. I took out the human skin map and looked for nearby reference objects.

, confirmed, this is the entrance to the Worm Valley. After this section, as the terrain gets lower and lower, the water flow will gradually increase. There is a part of the dam left when the tomb of King Xian was built. And although there are weeds on the ground here

It is overgrown, and most of it is completely covered by low plants, but some fragments of bricks and tiles can still be seen, which should be the remains of the King's Tomb Shinto.

Seeing that we finally arrived at the Worm Valley, we couldn't help but feel refreshed. We moved forward faster, preparing to camp and rest near the ruins of the dike wall. We strolled into the flower trees. At first, these low flower trees were blooming with various flowers.

Colorful, endless purples and reds; deep in the bushes, all the same color is red flowers and red leaves. Looking at it, it looks like huge clouds of fire, and groups of golden-threaded swallowtail butterflies shuttle among the red flowers.

This is really a fairy-like place. Compared with the gloomy jungle not far away where we spent the night, it is a completely different world. The fat man said: It's a pity that the two insect catching nets were thrown away, otherwise we would catch them.

If you take hundreds of butterflies back to Beijing and sell them as specimens, you can make a lot of money. It seems that there are many ways to make money in this world, but if you don't go out to see it, how can you think of it in the city.

Said: These trees with red flowers and red leaves are called aphrodisiacs. They were formed before the Tertiary Period, tens of millions of years ago. Creatures of the same generation were basically extinct during the great changes. For example, dinosaurs have already become ancient fossils.

It has become a relic plant. It mainly grows in dark and cool dense forests, and these large exotic butterflies are probably only found around here. If you catch hundreds of them at a time, don't you want to let this rare money butterfly and amaranth

Will the next one become extinct?

The fat man said angrily: Really, you just like to teach others. I just said it casually. If the fat man comes to catch butterflies, I can't bear his temper. The little butterflies can be caught casually and disappear. How can there be any

Pour buckets are affordable, and one single utensil can be enough to eat and drink for half a lifetime.

The three of them walked through the flowers and trees while talking, looking for the relics of the ancient Shinto and came to the area where the flowers and trees meet the trees. This is the entrance to the Insect Valley. As they get closer to the Tomb of King Xian, the ancient relics become more and more obvious.

Come more and more.

The mouth of the valley looks very incongruous with the surrounding environment. The two bare stone mountains are very dazzling when viewed up close. However, it is located behind the forest. From the outside, the line of sight is blocked by tall trees, and you cannot see inside at all.

The bare stone mountain can only be seen if you walk to the entrance of Worm Valley. No one expected that there are such two huge rocks with no grass in such a dense jungle, so it gives people a very abrupt feeling.

When we looked up, we all thought the two stones looked like something. When we looked closer, we saw an eye painted with black paint on each stone. However, it was not the eyeball shape like Muchen Beads, but eyes with eyelashes.

Deep and majestic, although the composition is rough, it is extremely vivid. Could this be a sign that the dead King Xian is watching everyone who dares to enter this valley with his eyes?

He walked closer and looked at the rock, then turned to us and said: This is a meteorite split in two. Most of the nearby crashes are related to it. Shumeng
