When he said these words, Baiyin's lips began to tremble slightly again, and his eyes showed deep fear. It is impossible to fake this kind of behavior. In short, it made me feel the cold air on the soles of my feet, even though it was
For most of the day, there were other people around, but I couldn't help but shiver, as if there was a ghostly atmosphere floating around.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on!" Ma Dad saw something was wrong with Bai Yin and immediately pulled me aside and looked sideways at Mustache: "I have walked on more bridges than you have walked on.
Want to trick us?"
No one cares about Ma Dad, and Xiao Hu is no exception. He is very shrewd and may have noticed that I was a little suspicious of Bai Yin's actions, so he took this opportunity to let Bai Yin speak clearly. The monk and Lao Gong both came to talk to Xi Ni.
Ma Dad pulled him aside, and a few of us sat near the mandala, resting and listening to what Bai Yin said.
What Bai Yin experienced may have been a long time ago. He tried to calm himself down and then told the story in detail. I have already developed a certain immunity to this mandala, and as for the rumors about ghosts, ghosts and gods,
The old man told me a lot in the past, which didn't scare me to the point of peeing, but Bai Yin's story still surprised me.
Baiyin has been familiar with this desert for a long time. He has served as a guide for several scientific expedition teams, but he has been to other places and has never actually come into contact with pan camels. The year before last, a friend from Yinchuan led a
Zhen Yinxian introduced him to a team, saying it was a scientific expedition team, and he thought of the ancient city of Bantuo.
In fact, this friend does not have a very close relationship with Baiyin, and has very little contact with him. Baiyin is an upright man and trusts his friends very much. Although he has never really set foot in the ancient city of Bantuo, he once visited the ancient city of Bantuo when he traveled through the desert in the past.
Having passed there from afar, the route would be unmistakable. Moreover, the reward offered by the other party was very generous, so Baiyin agreed without hesitation.
Next, Baiyin met up with this team. The other party had a quick schedule and was on the road soon. According to Baiyin's friends, this team was a scientific expedition team, but after two days of contact between the two parties, Baiyin noticed
There is something strange about this team. This team is not like those scientific expedition teams in the past that engaged in learning and research.
Bai Yin was a simple and honest person and did not think too deeply. He still led the way responsibly. During the march, they encountered a small sandstorm. Because of the experienced Bai Yin, no casualties or missing persons were caused. The leader of this team
I was very satisfied with Bai Yin and thought he was capable and less talkative. I promised to give Bai Yin some more money after the work was completed.
The team arrived at Bantuo safely. The team leader said that they would stay in Bantuo for about two to three days. Then everyone dispersed to the city and didn't know what they were busy with. Baiyin has a principle and never acts as a guide for others.
When participating in anything the employer does, they just lead the way. So Baiyin didn't know exactly what these people were doing. In less than a day, the team's goal was obviously focused on the mandala in the ancient city of Bantuo.
Until this time, everything was normal. Those people gathered around the mandala, and Baiyin was guarding the camels not far away. The entire mandala was built very solidly, and the thick gate seemed to be made of cypress wood, which was the most common in the desert.
The dryness and high temperature have already drained away all the moisture in the door, and the outside is also covered with a layer of carved iron. Therefore, although the time cannot be traced for a long time, this door still stands stubbornly.
The team stayed outside the mandala for a while, and someone cleaned up the sand outside the mandala. Next, the team leader sent two people in to explore the way. Bai Yin didn't pay attention at first, but the people sent in never paid attention.
When he came out, no news was reported back. People outside were a little panicked, which attracted Baiyin's attention.
The team leader did not stop the action because of these changes, and immediately sent two more people in. Just like last time, the people who went in did not move for a long time. Just when the anxiety in everyone's hearts escalated again, they rushed out from the gate.
A person startled Bai Yin.
Judging from his clothes, the person who just rushed out was one of the two people who went in for the second time, but he had changed beyond recognition at this time, and his whole person seemed to be in an extremely crazy state, as if he was blocked by something.
His trachea was blocked, his eyes were blood red from suffocation, the veins on his neck were almost as thick as his fingers, and his hands were desperately clawing at his face.
When he talked about this, Baiyin's Adam's apple moved up and down with difficulty. He said that the man was so strong that no one around him could stop him. In the end, his face was almost turned into a plate of meat paste.
Everyone in the team was very nervous, and the team leader also announced that the operation was temporarily suspended. The frantic man was not revived, and he kicked his legs after surviving for several hours. The team leader may have wanted to find out the cause of his death, so he asked people to move the body nearby.
In a relatively sturdy house, Baiyin was a little scared, but at the same time he was also very curious, so he wanted to go over and have a look, but he was politely and firmly stopped.
Baiyin didn't know what these people were going to do in the mandala, but they still didn't give up when four of them went in. The next day, the team leader ordered two more people to go.
The two people who went in this time were fully prepared in advance, and Baiyin also saw them holding guns. When talking about this, everyone here, including me, had a premonition that guns could not solve all problems and dangers.
Just like the previous two times, there was no sound after the two people entered. However, about half an hour later, there was a very messy gunshot.
The sound of gunfire lasted only a few seconds before disappearing, and then fell into dead silence. Until the evening, the two men never appeared again. More than half of the team of ten people was lost in less than two days.
, and he didn’t even understand the specific situation, and the team leader seemed at a loss.
At this point, it was impossible to force his men to go in and die. The leader sat outside the mandala all night. The next day, he had the door of the mandala closed, and then left Bantuo with the remaining people.
.
Although Bai Yin is simple and honest, he is not stupid either. He can see that there seems to be something important in this mandala that is attracting these people. Therefore, after leaving Bantuo, Bai Yin has always guessed that the leader will not stop here.
, will make a comeback after being fully prepared. At the same time, Baiyin also secretly made up his mind that from now on, no matter how high the price the other party offers, he will never lead the way to Bantuo again.
However, after waiting for several months, those people did not go to Baiyin again. As time passed, Baiyin took on two jobs and returned to his hometown, and gradually forgot about this matter.
Just last year, through the introduction of a friend, Baiyin picked up another team. The other team said they were going to Dayue Bay. This was a normal route, and it was far away from Bantuo, so Baiyin picked up.
This life.
This team was not the same as the previous team. They brought a lot of equipment, and what surprised Baiyin the most was that these people also brought two fat and strong wolfdogs. Baiyin didn't talk much, which was strange.
He didn't ask anything. However, the leader of the team said that these were his pet dogs and he had raised them well. Unless he fed them himself, the two dogs would not eat.
In Baiyin's view, this was a very common mission in his career as a guide. But when he took these people deep into the desert and was about to approach Dayue Bay, the leader suddenly changed his mind and discussed with Baiyin to leave.
After Dayue Bay, go to Bantuo Ancient City.
With the lesson learned from the previous time, Baiyin was somewhat resistant to the ancient city of Bantuo. At the same time, the forgotten past resurfaced in his mind. Looking at this group of people, he felt more and more uneasy. At that time, he politely refused the hire of the team leader, saying that he
He is only responsible for taking them to Dayue Bay.
The tour leader smiled and thought Baiyin was taking the opportunity to rip him off, so he offered a high price. But Baiyin still shook his head and advised the tour leader that there was danger in Bantuo and it was best not to get involved.
The team leader caught something strange in Baiyin's words and immediately asked. Baiyin didn't have many palaces and was tricked, so he told the story of the last trip to Bantuo. The team leader was very interested in these things and listened.
Very carefully. After that, he insisted on asking Baiyin to lead the way to Bantuo.
Bai Yin kept refusing, and in the end, the leader's patience seemed to be worn out, so he threatened Bai Yin. In that situation, Bai Yin had no choice, he had to give in, and was almost forced to lead the way for the second time.
Arrive at Ban Tuo.
Two or three years in the desert cannot leave any traces. Bantuo seemed to be the same Bantuo as before. But Baiyin felt a faint fear in his heart. He looked at the team and had a premonition that this trip to Bantuo would be the same again.
What happened?
After arriving at Bantuo, the team immediately surrounded the entire mandala, cleared the sand, and dug out the gate of the mandala. Only then did Baiyin realize the purpose of those people who temporarily bought dogs. They asked the dogs to go in first to explore the way.
.
However, the two dogs seemed to smell something dangerous outside the gate, and they refused to come in, whining lowly outside. Finally, the leader asked someone to throw the dogs in, and then closed the gate.
The two dogs kept scratching at the door with their claws and barking. Baiyin said that the barking was simply not something a dog could make, just like the desperate and pitiful wail made by a person on the verge of death.
No matter what methods the people outside used, the two dogs still refused to go in, so they had to be let out in the end. As soon as the door opened, the two fat and strong wolfdogs ran away desperately with blood on their paws.
Normally, when such a situation occurs, most people will retreat in spite of difficulties, but the leader has no intention of retreating at all, but carefully plans how to enter the mandala safely. This perseverance makes Baiyin's already thick doubts suddenly rise.
The time has gotten a lot worse. What exactly is in this mandala?
Baiyin was more careful this time. Although he was deeply doubtful, he didn't say a word and guarded the camel from a distance instead of joining in the fun. The person guarding the camel with him was a man named Xiaoliuzi from the team.
Bai Yin was not familiar with him at first, but Xiao Liuzi seemed to be the errand boy in the team, assisting Bai Yin with some chores along the way, so the two of them became familiar with each other while chatting. The two dogs ran away in a hurry
Later, Xiaoliuzi and Baiyin speculated about the situation in the mandala. Unexpectedly, just as they were talking, the leader called Xiaoliuzi to come over.
