Vol 2 Chapter 33: Escape

After reading it several times, I found nothing. There were no suggestive symbols, pictures or words on the prophet's body. The fat man was so impatient that he touched the prophet's bones and found nothing.
The Prophet ’s remains were sitting in a sitting position, sitting cross-legged, with one hand beside the stone box and the other hand lying flat in front of the knee, even without the indicated gesture, except for the clothes that decayed into powder. There is nothing more than sheepskin.
I searched all over again to see if there were any organs such as secret passages, but this tomb was pulled out of the stone mountain, and the walls were all stubborn stones. There were some small cracks in some places. You can feel it by reaching out. A trace of cool breeze, it seems that the tomb is not far from the top of the mountain. But without explosives and tools, trying to make a way out of the rocks is harder than going to the sky.
The only entrance to this tomb is the crack we came in. There used to be a stone gate. In order to avoid the countless gravel falling when we came in, the outer tombway did not look carefully at all. The rupture inside the mountain made us escape the mountain The gap is connected to the tomb, but the road has been blocked by gravel. It is impossible to return to the tomb.
The three of them were in a hurry, and suddenly there was a wave of shaking under their feet, and only a slight burst of sound came out of the mountain in their ears. The sound became louder and louder, and the ground vibration also increased. It seems that the explosion caused the interior of the mountain Tension transmission, after the previous two larger cracks than once, the pressure continues to accumulate, and a third mountain crack will occur immediately. Does the prophet's revelation correspond here?
There was a strong sway, and there were three large slits in the Karabura in the tomb, one on the ground, and the other two on the left and right, just on both sides of the tomb.
The fat man scolded: "Fuck, choose one out of three, this child prophet plays with us, let's walk aside alone, it's better to go out and be buried in this mountain."
Shirley Yang pointed to the prophet's corpse and said, "The prophet has shown us the way!" Her voice trembled, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.
My fat man and I looked down. The large crack in the ground caused the stone box to fall in half. The bones of the prophet were also crooked to the side. The fingers of my right hand were just pointing at the large cracks on the left side of the tomb.
We quickly knelt down and kowtowed, thanking the prophet and blessing. At this time, the gravel falling from the top of the tomb was getting bigger and bigger, the sound of rumbling was endless, and it was no longer possible to stand in the tomb.
I let the fat man carry Professor Chen. Shirley Yang and I lifted up Ye Yixin and drilled into the crack on the left side of the tomb wall. After a few steps, a white light dazzled and flowers appeared, and a long-lost sky appeared on the head.
There is only a few meters drop from the top of the mountain, but the mountain vibrates very violently. The mountain rock has cracks, the foot is full of gravel, and it is very difficult to fall.
The fat man squatted down, Shirley Yang stepped on his shoulder and climbed up first, then took Professor Chen up on the gourd.
I asked the fat man to go up first, and then tossed down a rope so that Ye Yixin's body could be pulled up. I couldn't just bury her in the mountain forever. The fat man was struggling to get up. I held it underneath, Shirley Yang pulled on it, and it took a lot of effort to climb up.
At this time, a loud noise from the stone wall behind me made me jump and looked back. I saw that the mountain behind me was collapsing backwards. The whole Zagrama Mountain was split in half, and the ghost hole was huge. The top wall of the arc can't bear it, and it is constantly falling. The stone beams that placed the queen's coffin, along with the corpse konjac, as well as countless treasures and giant pupil stone portraits, have fallen into the bottomless ghost hole. A stream of black water was flowing out of the ghost cave, and the things that fell into it were immediately submerged by the black water. The black mountain, the dark cave, and the ground behind it looked like the devil opened the big mouth of the black cave, devouring the belly of the mountain. all.
The power of the landslide was dazzling. I grabbed the stone wall firmly with one hand and hugged Ye Yixin's body with my other hand. I dared not move a little, lest I would fall into the ghost cave with the collapsed mountain behind me.
The fat man shouted anxiously from above: "Lao Hu quickly climbed up, don't care about the little girl's body, now I can't take care of the dead!"
I had to take Ye Yixin's body out of my mind. At this time, the left hand holding Ye Yixin was sour and numb. It seemed that if I didn't let go, I had to fall with Ye Yixin. I had to let go of my arm. Hung his arm on my carrying bag, and the weight of tens of pounds of Ye Yixin fell down. The carrying bag was opened. A sheepskin apocalypse of the Prophet rolled and fell together with Ye Yixin ’s body to the mountain. .
I watched the sheepskin book fall down the mountain, and I was very annoyed. The prophet's prediction was very clear. When the sheepskin book fell to the ground, a sandstorm would engulf the Zagrama Mountain. What are you afraid of?
So far, I had to listen to my destiny. I used my hands and feet to climb up to the top of the mountain. Suddenly I heard a grieving female voice crying in my ear. The voice seemed to be Ye Yixin's little girl. My body suddenly sank, and there seemed to be a force pulling me down, trying to pull me down the mountain.
I was sweating. At this time, half of the sun in the desert had sunk into the western horizon. The place I was in was in the shadow of the mountain, surrounded by black stones. This moment really seemed to touch the gate of hell.
I struggled to climb to the top of the mountain, but the rock standing on my foot had collapsed, and I could only grab the mountain with the strength of my hands. I could n’t look back, but even if I could look back, I would n’t want to look at it, maybe I ’m afraid I wo n’t catch it You must fall into the ghost hole below.
I want to try my best not to listen to the cry, but the cry in my ears is getting more and more sad, and it stabs people's hearts with a sound, and I can feel sour in my heart, and my body becomes heavier, I can't help but want to let go.
Fatty and Shirley Yang saw me at the top of the mountain and they were not quite right. I wanted to reach out and drag me up, but it was not far enough away. Seeing the cracks in the mountain expanded, the whole mountain would collapse in a blink of an eye, and there was no rope at hand. Untie the belt and hang down.
I was greeted by the two people above, as if a bucket of cold water was splashed in the three days, the whole body was shaken, and I woke up, the cry in my ears disappeared, and the pulling force behind me disappeared. Lived the fat man's belt and climbed to the top of the mountain.
The setting sun in the desert has become blurred, a breeze blowing with fine sand is blowing, and an ominous shadow is shrouded between the world and the world. An Liman old man once said that this wind is a signal of the coming black sand storm, The end of Zagrama in the prophecy finally came.
The fat man and I set up Professor Chen. The old man had no reaction at this time. He was at the mercy of a puppet. If you pulled him, he would follow you without knowing tired, but he could n’t stop. Once he stopped, he I couldn't pull it on the ground.
Can only be dragged in this way, dragged down the mountain, the side of the mountain close to the ancient city of Jingjue has completely collapsed, and the half-hollow huge mountain just covered the ghost hole, blocking the hole forever. This side of our downhill is the entrance to the Zagrama Valley. After we had wanted to come down, we went through the valley to meet the energetic camels. The sandstorm has already begun, and without a camel, you cannot run out on the 11th alone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came down the mountain, he heard the sound of the hoofs in the valley, and An Liman's expression panicked. He was shouting loudly and drove the camel away.
The fat man scolded: "Old man, you swear all fart!"
An Liman didn't expect that we would appear at the entrance of the valley, and quickly said: "Praise God, it seems that we met here, it is Hu Da's arrangement."
We didn't care to talk to him more, and carried Professor Chen to the camel, and we also found each one to climb up. An Liman also chased and asked where the rest were.
I said: "Don't mention it, it's gone. Now it's not time to say that, how can you avoid the big sandstorm, you will quickly take the guys to run over there."
The sky was completely dark. This time it was a whirlwind. The wind eyes seemed to be ghost holes in the mountain. The wind was gradually strengthening and the face was hurt by the sand. An Liman's old man did not expect this big sandstorm to come so fast. There was no sign of it before. Apart from the remains of Zagrama and Jingju Ancient City, there is nowhere to hide. However, since it is a whirlwind, the farther away from the wind eye, the safer it is. It is just right to run in the right direction. Whether you can escape or not depends on the mood of the old man Hu Da.
An Liman shouted a long whistle, led the camel first, and led the camel to the west.
At first I heard strange sounds coming from behind, like ghosts crying and howling, and like waves of the sea, and the wind was suddenly violent. Mouth, still feel that there are countless sand and stones poured into the ear and nose.
After running a long distance, the camels gradually stopped listening to the command, and An Liman stopped the camels. At this time, who could not hear anything, he made a few gestures and gathered the frightened camels. In a circle.
I think what he meant might be that the camel team would run away if it ran down again. Once the team dispersed, there was no possibility for anyone to survive. Now they have to build a sand-proof wall in place and people hide in the middle of the camel The only thing left to do is to pray to Hu Da.
I nodded to him to show my understanding, and let Shirley Yang wrap Professor Chen in a blanket to avoid sandstorms on the spot.
The fat man and I shoveled the sand desperately. An Liman old man came and helped the camel. He built a simple sand-proof wall around the camel, and then covered the camel's eyes with a blanket to prevent them from frightening and escaping. They also wrapped their blankets together.
Fortunately, he has left the wind eye. The wind and sand on the edge of the sand storm is already so powerful. In the center of the wind eye, he might tear people into pieces.
The camels that are full of strength are more experienced. At this time, they are no longer panicking when they are surrounded. When they are partly buried by the sand, they shake their bodies and move up a little, so that they will not be completely buried by the sand.
It wasn't until the next morning that the wind and sand gradually subsided. We kept digging the sand-proof wall all night. We were exhausted and saw that the sandstorm had passed. Then we dared to stand up and look up. The sand dunes were all around. The yellow sand was blown out by the wind.
The ancient city, the black Zagrama mountain, the queen ’s coffin, the corpse konjac, the tombs of the prophets and the holy saints, together with the countless unknown secrets of ancient times, as well as Hao Aiguo, Ye Yixin, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng All buried in the depths of the yellow sand forever.
Professor Chen also plucked his head from the blanket and smirked at the sky. Shirley Yang used to touch the sand on Professor Chen's head. An Liman knelt on the ground and prayed, thanking Hu Da for his kindness. The fat man turned all the suitcases on to find the water, and finally found nothing, rushed at me with a helpless expression.
I shook my head helplessly, patronizing my escape, and didn't think of water at all, and I crossed the safe return point as early as seven days ago, and now I want to go back, how easy it is. The passage to Zidu Anhe has also been completely buried. It is impossible for a few of us to dig it, and there is no drop of water. I ’m afraid I ca n’t hold on for a day in the desert. Drinking salty water and camel blood is not the way. At the thought of the tragic death of thirst in the desert, I thought it would be better to die in a ghost cave.
There is no water in the desert, just like living people are drained of blood, everyone is at a loss, sitting in a daze.
Suddenly heard An Liman's "Ao" shouting: "Hu Da's messenger!" I saw a white shadow on the sand not far from us. I thought it was thirsty and hungry, and my eyes were spent, Quickly rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.
It turned out to be the white camel we had seen before going to the West Night City. It was walking leisurely on the sand dunes and slowly walking towards the west.
An Liman's old man was very excited, and the words said unfavorably. The white camel appeared in the cursed black desert. This shows that the ancient curse has disappeared. Hu Da reclaimed this desert. Following Hu Da's messenger, he must be able to Find the water.
I do n’t know if what he said is true or false. Last time I said that the traveler who entered the desert would see the white camel, he would be safe and auspicious all the way, and now he said that the curse in the desert disappeared, but at this time it ’s better to believe it, not Believe it or not, following the white camel may find the water.
Now hurry up and form the group of camels behind the white camel. The tall white camel on that peak walked slowly and swiftly under the scorching sun, and walked straight for three or four hours, turned a long sand beam, and a small puddle appeared.
There are some sea buckthorns around the puddle. The water is not clear, and may contain a small amount of minerals. Animals can drink directly, but people can not drink it directly.
The camels couldn't wait to drink the water, Shirley Yang found some disinfection tablets, put the water in the filter to filter, and then added the disinfection tablets, which was distributed to everyone to drink.
This puddle may be a tributary of the Zidang River. Due to the movement of the desert at night, a part of the river water closer to the ground seeped out.
A fire was set up by the puddle, and several naan were baked. I didn't tell them when someone climbed the top of the mountain at the end, it seemed like someone was pulling on the back. This thing seemed to be illusory, and it made his mother's corpse konjac toss about. Not to mention the last thing, including the entire experience in Jingju Ancient City and Ghost Cave, there is no obvious boundary between real and unreal.
When I talked to the fat man about what happened in Zagrama Mountain, it was like a breathless nightmare. The fat man said, "This dog's tail is so powerful, maybe we haven't even gotten into it. Ancient city, all these are illusions created by the ghost flower. "
Shirley Yang, who has n’t said much, said:
No, now I ’m out of danger and I ’ll go back and think about it. The characteristics of the corpse konjac illusion are still very obvious. But we can't make something we haven't seen before. The Queen's coffin, ghost cave, prophet's tomb, prophecy, these are real. The black snake we have seen before, the prophetic stone that lures us to kill each other. Painting, the first layer of stone box is real, because we have read the first layer of prophecy, so corpse konjac can create illusions on the second layer of stone box. "
I said to Shirley Yang: "It's the same as what the hero sees. I think so too, but I'm not sure, so I haven't said it. Are we talking about how to get out of the desert now?"
Shirley Yang said: "This is going to be annoying and full of grandpa. He is a living map in the desert. Let us first listen to his opinions."
An Liman saw that the boss had spoken, and he drew a few times on the sand with his hand. This is our approximate location. Walking south is the remains of Niya. The distance is far away. It ’s all desert. We added enough. Water does not necessarily reach Niya; Lop Nur to the east, desert in the middle, and boundless Gobi Beach to the north; north to the direction of our coming, which is the direction of the West Night City, but let ’s go deep into the desert hinterland It is not easy to go back.
Now it seems that it is not easy to go in three directions, southeast and north. The only thing left is west. The west is the Tarim River, the largest inland river in the desert. From our current location, if we go fast, about It takes ten days to reach the confluence of the three rivers of Tarim River, Yeerqiang River and Hotan River. Once you get there, it's easy to do. You can replenish the water again and continue to walk west for six or seven days. It's not far from Aksu. There are troops and oil fields nearby. You can ask for their help.
We now have enough water to replenish, which can last for almost ten days. There are still some foods. In the desert, water is more important than eating. You can eat camels when you have nothing to eat.
After filtering and storing the water in the sand nest a little, it took a whole day before setting off as planned. Along with the hunger and thirst, the wind and the sun, and the night in Xiaosu, I finally walked to the Tarim River on the twelfth day, and then continued westward. On the third day, I met the oil field workers who entered the desert and hit the yellow sheep. The professor had only one breath.
The feeling of step by step escape from the depths of the desert is not easily understood by people living in a normal environment. Since then I have developed a habit of drinking water at home, no matter how big the glass is, I always drink one drop at a time.
(Professor Chen ’s life and death, the real secrets hidden in the bottomless ghost cave, the whereabouts of the first holy tribe, the mystery of Shirley Yang ’s life experience, and the new adventures of Hu Bayi and the fat man will be in the second part of "Ghost Blowing Lamp" "Longling Grottoes" continues to unfold gorgeously ...)
