Chapter 118 The Forbidden Line
I asked myself: Although these two rocks poked here look awkward, there is nothing special about the rock itself. If it is a meteorite and it is exposed to the outside, then there should be a crater here. Look what is there nearby.
Traces of impact by meteorites
She looked at her watch again and said to me: Look at the electronic diving watch you are wearing on your wrist. There is no time display now. There are many crystals on this stone. I guess it contains some kind of rare gas and cosmic...
Since the Hijab element, electronic circuit transistors and radio equipment are all affected by it, it is possible that more nearby crashes are related to these two meteorites. Once an aircraft that deviates from its course approaches the sky above this area, all electronic equipment will malfunction.
, this place is simply like the Hundred Curtain Triangle of Yunnan.
The fat man and I both raised our hands to look at our watches. Sure enough, they were all gray and white crystal stones, and all the data disappeared, as if the battery was exhausted. I went to look closer at the rock again, and sure enough, there were many strange things on it.
Obvious crystals. I have been an engineer for several years and have been digging holes in Kunlun Mountains for many years. Kunlun Mountains has a superimposed geological structure with almost all kinds of rock formations, so I can recognize most of the rocks. But this gray crystal
I have never seen mineral rocks before, but they do look a bit like meteorites.
The fat man still didn't believe it, but we didn't have any extra electronic products on us, so we took out a radio from my backpack. I took it with me on the road to listen to news broadcasts. Since there was no signal after entering the mountain, I kept it on.
I took out the bottom of the bag and as soon as I turned on the switch, I heard a few noises, and then there was no sound no matter how much I tried.
Looking at flashlights and other equipment, since they are powered by dry batteries, there is no impact. Fatty Qi said: It’s so damn strange that there is such a stone. I don’t know how much the international transaction price is per tael. Let’s collect some first and study it.
After saying that, I picked up the mountaineering pick and wanted to go to the rock to knock out a few samples.
I hurriedly stopped him and said to him: Don't move. What if there is radiation? I remember reading somewhere that there are radioactive substances in meteorites. If they are irradiated, they will turn around first, and eventually the whole body will rot and die.
Said aside: Not all meteorites contain radioactive materials. This one may contain some kind of electromagnetic energy, which is why it seriously interferes with electronic equipment. This meteorite may not have fallen here, but was later moved to the mouth of the valley.
, as a sign of the entrance to the King's Tomb. In fact, it is extremely rare for large meteorites to fall to the ground. There is the remains of a large crater in the United States. The falling meteorite must form an angle of 6.5 degrees with the horizontal tangent of the atmosphere, otherwise
It will burn excessively due to friction and disappear into ashes. These two stones are just a little bit of residue left after burning, and the crystals on the surface are formed by intense combustion. Although there is no grass growing here, there are active insects and ants around, so it is possible
It's harmless to the human body. But if you don't know what's going on, I advise you not to touch it.
The fat man was still unwilling to accept it, but after all, he had already obtained several genuine antiquities from the old banyan tree, so he gave up and threatened to come back to the Bug Valley to collect stones in the future when he could no longer survive.
We stood at the mouth of the valley and looked at the two stones with human eyes painted on them. We originally wanted to camp here to rest tonight and set out early tomorrow morning to go deep into the valley to find the entrance with the toad mark, but how could we see it?
Why do I feel something is wrong about this place? Standing at the entrance of the valley, I feel a little uncomfortable being stared at by those eyes. However, the situation in the Worm Valley is unknown. If we go further in, who knows what we will encounter, so we have to
He then returned along the original path and set up a meal near the bush full of red flowers.
From the time we rowed the bamboo raft into Zhelong Mountain until now, the three of us have not had a good rest for two days and one night except for the fat man who slept for most of the night. At this time, we were already exhausted, so we chose a relatively secluded and open place and stayed there. Camp.
There are not many insects and ants around here, and the flowers and trees are fragrant. It is indeed a good place for camping. We all know that there will inevitably be many life-threatening activities starting tomorrow. Tonight is the last chance to rest, and we must get enough sleep. To restore the physical and mental state to the best state, I ate some beef and dry food bought from Caiyun Inn, ate in a hurry, left the fat man to work the first shift, and took turns to get into the sleeping bag to sleep. Since I was in the forest last night, We shot and killed a large eagle swan. The eagle swan is an animal with a strong desire for revenge. A few of them attacked us near dawn. However, since it was already dark, they were not used to being active during the day, so we temporarily If you retreat, you never know when you might come back and take revenge if you take a quick look, so this night watchman is a must.
At night, I suddenly felt a numb and itchy feeling on my hand. The itch was on the back of my hand that had been bitten by the piranha in the mountains. So I sat up from my sleeping bag and reached out to touch it. I saw that it was originally tied with waterproof tape. The tape wrapped on the back of my hand had a hole, and there were three black dots on the left side, and a sunworm crawled out of the wound on the upper right side of the hijab, below the middle opening. I hurriedly squeezed two of them to death, and the insect The more I climbed, the more I climbed. I was frightened and wanted to ask for help. When I looked up, I saw everything was quiet, the moon was hanging in the sky, Fatty and I were nowhere to be seen, and the sleeping bags were all empty.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the nearby flowers and trees. An old man wearing a green robe and a golden mask, riding on an elephant, rushed towards me through the red flowers and trees. He came menacingly, and I hurriedly rolled away to dodge. , suddenly I felt someone pushing my shoulder. I opened my eyes and it turned out to be a nightmare.
He was watching me from the side: You were so startled that you were dreaming again.
My clothes all over my body were soaked with cold sweat. This dream was too real. I nodded. It seems that it is my turn to keep vigil. Strange, was the man wearing the mask in my nightmare just now King Xian? You won't feel anything, but the itchy and painful pain in the wound is still there vaguely after you wake up. Thinking of this, I suddenly feel the wound on the back of my hand is tight and throbbing pain.
If the wound is healing and new flesh is gradually growing, it should be slightly itchy. It seems that the injury is serious again. I peeled off the tape. I saw that the back of my hand was slightly purple. I had already received antibiotics. It should not be infected. But the wound It seemed to be a little bigger than it was at the beginning, so I had to change the dressing myself and re-bandage the back of my hand. I wondered if those knife-toothed piranhas had eaten the water wasps in the human figurines and infected me with the poison. The disgusting aspect of that evil technique made me feel anxious, so I had to try my best to think on the bright side and cheer up for the night.
But the more I thought about it, the more worried I became. I was afraid that I couldn’t save my hand. If a few worms really crawled out of it, I would rather cut off the hand in advance. After a long day of ideological struggle, I had no choice but to cut it off. I woke up just after I fell asleep and asked her to help me see if I was poisoned.
After reading it, she found some pills for me to take, and comforted me by saying that this was just a normal phenomenon of wound healing after being bitten by a fish, and that there was nothing to worry about. Even nightmares at night were caused by the wound growing new flesh. As long as you protect it well and don't worry about it.
Infection, it doesn't matter.
Only then did I let go of my worries.
After finally waiting until dawn, the three of them headed towards their destination as planned, intending to find the place marked by toads in the valley to see if they could find a secret passage through the mountain miasma. However, the tomb of King Xian has been in operation for many years and the layout
You need to be very careful. Even if there is a secret path that passes through the barrier on the ground, I am afraid that this secret path is not that easy to walk.
The plants in the Bug Valley are much denser than those in the jungle, so it does not appear to be wide. Pass through the two huge meteorites in front of the valley, and proceed along the Snake Creek to the depths of the valley. As the terrain gradually descends, the cane plants
There were more and more clumps of vines covering the upper part of the stream. Countless small plants of all kinds were hung on the mountain walls on both sides. A variety of plants were commonly seen next to the vines hanging on the hillside.
When they grow together, they are like colorful hanging gardens.
Due to the narrow terrain, competition for living space here is extremely fierce. In order to obtain enough light, various plants have expanded from above to the outside of the valley, so it is completely impossible to see the terrain in the valley from high places.
The environment was extremely humid and hot, and everything we could see was rich green. After a long time, our eyes felt like flowers. In order to move forward among the high-density plants, the fat man had to use the engineer shovel to clear the way in front, and I and I followed closely behind.
, trudging forward in a deep valley where mosquitoes are infested and thick with old vines.
Compared with the obstacles of wisteria plants, the biggest trouble comes from the mosquitoes in the darkness of the valley. There are at least a dozen species of vampires in these jungles, swarming in groups and attacking people regardless of life or death. We had to
I brought the garlic and airplane grass with me and pounded it into juice and rubbed it on the exposed parts of the body. Fortunately, the proprietress of Caiyun Inn gave us some mosquito repellent water specially made by the locals, which still had a certain effect. Even with these mosquito repellents
, I still received a few bites, and the stung area immediately became red and swollen, became hard, and the tentacles were painful, as if there were acne.
But thank God, these mosquitoes are not big and not very poisonous. After all, this is not a tropical rain forest. The poisonous mosquitoes in the Amazon rainforest are the real blood-sucking demons in the jungle, and they are extremely poisonous. But the poisonous ones are very vicious.
Mosquitoes are afraid of garlic, and this weakness coincides with the vampires in European legends.
Such dense plants in the valley were not unexpected. Although when the Tomb of King Xian was built, this was originally supposed to be a sacred path leading to Minglou, and all the materials had to be transported inside through here, but it has not happened so far.
Two thousand years, such a long period of time, the valley may have undergone earth-shaking changes. The vegetation layer that was cut down when the royal tomb was built has grown again, covering and eroding all the Shinto relics.
But it can still be seen that as we go deeper, there are more and more traces of artificial construction. From time to time, some collapsed stone statues and stone figures are exposed on the ground. These are the stone carvings on both sides of the shrine of the king's tomb. It can be seen that the relationship between the king's tomb and the
Like other royal tombs, a shrine in front of the tomb was specially built for future generations to go to the Minglou to offer sacrifices and worship. However, King Xian probably did not expect that less than seven or eight years after his death, his territorial subjects, including his hometown of the ancient Dian Kingdom, would
, were all included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. The royal tombs, which were built with huge manpower and material resources and painstaking efforts, can only stay in the depths of this dark valley and be sealed in the corners of history forever. Only we who are fighting against each other can
Only Captain Jin would come to visit him regardless of hardships and dangers.
After walking for three or four hours through layers of plant belts, we finally found the ruins of a broken wall in front of us. This was the legendary first embankment wall. Now it is only about three meters thick and two meters high.
The rammed earth stone platform is also covered with a layer of weeds. Only some places where the blue stones are exposed are not growing plants. Since there is only a small section left, it looks more like a green mound, like a tomb.
Like the mounds of mounds of earth, they are mixed in the jungles of the deep valleys; if we were not sharp-eyed, we would have passed by this place.
In order to further confirm whether the remaining wall covered by plants was the embankment wall marked on the human skin map, the fat man used a mountaineering pick to chisel into the broken wall a few times, trying to scrape off the weeds and green moss on the surface.
Unexpectedly, this knock did not matter, hundreds of small tree lizards swished out from the cracks in the broken wall. The body color of these little green guys was exactly the same as that of the plants in the jungle. Only their eyes and tongues were blood red.
It was as big as a finger. The tree lizard usually hid in the cracks of the remaining wall. Now it was disturbed, and they all escaped from the rammed earth and ran around.
The fat man was also frightened by them. He picked up a mountaineering pick and an engineer shovel and beat them randomly, beating many small tree lizards into meat patties.
Hold down the fat man's hand and ask him to stop: These little tree lizards don't hurt people. They only eat mosquitoes on weekdays, so why bother with them?
I suddenly discovered that when these little tree lizards fled in panic, they almost all ran out of the valley, or climbed up the plants on both sides, and were beaten randomly by the fat man, but none of them escaped deep into the valley. Not only that.
Tree lizards, including mosquitoes flying around, tree bugs, beetles, and dragonflies on the plants. After passing this dilapidated wall, there are almost no insects and animals on the other side of the valley. It seems that this is a dividing line of death. Even people living in
The insects in the valley dare not cross the thunder pond. Book Alliance
