Vol 2 Chapter 6: Nine-story demon building

It ’s really a road to nowhere, and the violent shock caused by the avalanche caused a big sloping down slit on the steep in front of us.
The snow storm that had swept through the air was coming. The crowd did n’t think much, struggling into the cracks in the cracks in the rocks. The cracks were very steep. Rolled a few times and fell to the bottom of a big hole.
Then, a huge snowboard rolled down from the back, closing the mountain seam with a tight seam, arousing countless snow foams, and choked five people violently. The rumbling of the head rumbling for a long time before calming down, listening to this blast, I don't know how many tons of snow was covered.
There was no way to discern things in the dark, and everyone escaped from death. It took a long time for someone to speak. The Northeast accent filled his mouth, and when he heard it, he knew that he was a big man: "You can still gasp, Laohu, Gawazi, Liu Gong and Luo Gong, are you all here? "
I felt that my body was about to fall apart, so painful that I could not speak for a while, I only hummed twice, indicating that I was still alive.
Gawa promised, took out the flashlight, and took photos around him. Luo Ning's eyes were sitting on the ground dull, as if not injured. Liu Gong fell beside her, his eyes closed and unconscious, his left leg shattered. Broken, Bai Shengsheng's half bone was exposed.
The mountain gap we fell into was narrow and deep. The flashlight was dark outside the lighting range. I don't know what the terrain is in the distance.
The big man probed Liu Gong's nose with his hand, shaking his hand and saying, "It's over, it's gone."
I crawled over and touched Liu Gong ’s carotid artery. My heartbeat was gone, so I sighed and said to the big man:
Let ’s bury Liu Gong.

I took out the engineer shovel and wanted to dig a pit. GAWA stopped me on the side and pointed to the ground: "Bugs, fire."
This reminder from Gawa reminded me of a devil-like ladybug. A total of fourteen people died in the thrilling few minutes. It seems that the land here cannot be excavated casually. God knows what else is below Ghost stuff.
However, the companion's body cannot always be placed outside, and only a compromise can be adopted. I used a flashlight to illuminate, and Gawa and the big man picked up some gravel blocks nearby to cover Liu Gong's body, which was regarded as a simple stone grave for him.
During this process, Luo Ning always sat on the ground motionlessly, gazing quietly at Liu Gong's stone tomb, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He cried out with a wow and suppressed the sadness in his heart like the tide of the embankment. Released.
I wanted to persuade her, but I really did n’t know what to say. I was touched by her crying, and my nose was sour, and my heart was as sharp as a knife. I remembered that last night, the squad sang military songs in front of the campfire. The song seemed to echo in my ears, but today most of my comrades are always sleeping under the big glacier in Kunlun Mountain.
I helped Luo Ning get up and stand in silence for Liu Gong and other comrades. At that time, no matter what occasion I had to quote "Mao Xuan", I took the lead and said: "The sky is white, and the march in the snow is more pressing."
The other three also agreed: "On the high mountain above the head, the red flag winds across the mark. Only the great aspirations are sacrificed, and dare to ask the sun and the moon to change the sky."
Then everyone raised their right fist and swore: "Comrades and comrades, please rest assured, some people's deaths are lighter than Hong Mao, some people's deaths are as heavy as Taishan, and they are heavier than Taishan for the benefit of the people. You are for the people. At the expense of our interests. We must inherit the legacy of the revolutionary martyrs, follow your footsteps with blood, and carry the proletarian cultural revolution to the end. The final victory will always belong to our workers, peasants and soldiers. "
At that time, I was still a recruit, and I had never participated in the memorial service of my comrades. I didn't know what to say. I just remembered what other people said in meetings. In that case, there was nothing suitable or inappropriate.
For a long time, the people calmed down from the pain and treated the wounds on their bodies. Fortunately, they were all minor injuries and did not affect their actions. I took a few bites of compressed biscuits and gathered them together to discuss what to do next. It is impossible to get out of a valley that was held down by snowboards. I guess the entire valley may have been filled by an avalanche. Now I can only find another way out.
Gawa patted the empty bullet bag on his body, indicating that there were not many bullets. When we entered the mountain, we had to carry a lot of equipment, so the ammunition equipment was the minimum limit. There were only three rifle magazines per person. After all, it was not a combat mission. There are no bandits in this area. A part of the ammunition was thrown away during the avalanche, and now there are only about 20 bullets left per person, and a total of two grenades. There should be no beasts in the ground, and there are no more bullets, just enough self-defense.
There is no dry food at all, and all you can eat just now, you must find a way to find an exit within two days, otherwise you will be starved to death. Fortunately, there is a compass on Luo Ning.
The depth of the mountain gap is beyond imagination. After walking a bit south, it came to an end. The crack of the earth turned northward, and it felt like it had walked under the big glacier.
We walked forward in the dark for more than ten hours. The lower the terrain, the larger the underground space. Luo Ning measured it with a barometer. The pressure data was converted into altitude, and it was only more than 400. Rice, similar to Sichuan, is far below the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters. If you go on like this, I'm afraid you have to go to the center of the earth.
Finally, the terrain finally calmed down, and in my ears I heard the sound of the turbulent water, and there seemed to be a big underground river not far away. I saw that there was no longer a downhill road, so I looked around with a flashlight. I wanted to see if there was a way to go up. I suddenly found that the light from the flashlight shone out, and produced a lot of weak reflections on the rock wall, like the fragments of countless mirrors. Same as above.
Luo Ning exclaimed: "It's mica!"
The other three listened to what she said about mica and did not know what it was, but she was frightened by the tone of her tone, thinking that there was an emergency, hurriedly blocking Luo Ning behind, and taking off five from her back as quickly as possible Six-type semi-automatic rifle, with a few pulls to open the bolt, ready to shoot.
Luo Ningqi said: "What do you do?"
While holding a gun alert, I asked Luo Ning: "What mother's father? Where?"
Luo Ning said: "It's not an animal. I mean there are crystals around it. Mica and crystal usually grow in the same stratum. Ah, there are crystals."
Although Luo Ning is mainly responsible for map surveying and mapping, he often works with the geological exploration team and knows a lot about geology and mineral knowledge. The crystals like glass flakes appearing around us are monoclinic crystals. It can only appear in the archaic double-layered rock strata, and Hebei's underground reserves are large. However, the mica here is extremely dark, with a large hexagonal column shape. The quality is far more than that produced in the mainland. From the point of view of the depth of mica color, we are in an unimaginably deep position.
Luo Ning was attracted by the rare giant mica around. Look at this piece and then look at that piece. I picked up a small piece and looked at it, and I couldn't see anything that was worthy of surprise.
Suddenly, a big man shouted to Ga baby: "What are you doing, Ga baby? Hurry up."
I took a photo with a flashlight and saw that Gawa was kowtowing on the ground in the manner of a Tibetan, and his entire body was lying on the ground. What did the boy do? To whom to kowtow? I took another picture in front of him, and could not help but take a breath.
Under the ground there stands a "gold" -shaped wooden tower made of thousands of giant trees. There are countless red flashes on the tower. Through the faint flashes, the base of the wooden tower is nearly 200 meters wide. It is made of rammed mud, and a thousand-year-old cypress wood is built into a tower body, which is divided into nine layers, each layer is piled with dry bones wearing strange costumes, both men and women, young and old, and each big wood is carved The secret of Tibetans. Is this a grave? The scale is so huge, who built it underground?
Luo Ning has been watching mica. Hearing our three comments, he came over and watched it nearby.
I shook my hand at the big man to stop him from interrupting, and continued to ask Ga baby: "What tower is this? Do you know the words written on it?"
Gawa shook her head vigorously.
I said, "This baby, don't know what head you are knocking on, and seeing so many bones scares you silly?"
Gawa's face was full of panic, and she said in not very fluent Chinese: "Hu this time bear, oh let you talk about it, please pull it, Larraldos, Nine ... Nine-layer demon floor."
I didn't understand the first half of his sentence. The four words behind him were clearly understood. What is it for? Do n’t you just bury people?
Before waiting for the baby to speak, Luo Ning ran back from the side of the tower and made a silent gesture to us, pointing to the tower behind him and whispering to us, don't alarm them.
I saw her with a solemn look, knowing that there might be trouble, but I didn't know what she was referring to, so I lowered my voice and asked, "What alarmed? The dead man in the tower?"
Luo Ning said extremely nervously: "No, it's the kind of ladybug with fire, all sleeping on the dead body, there are countless."
After hearing Luo Ning's words, I realized that the dense red flashing light on the wooden tower was originally from the transparent ladybug.
Although I have the fearless spirit of some revolutionary soldiers in my body, but when I think of that weird ladybug, I feel panic. This creature beyond common sense is too difficult to deal with, and the terrible scene in the valley left me with too much fear.
I gestured and the four of them quietly retreated back and forth. Before stepping out, Gawa suddenly stepped into the air and fell into a ditch.
This ditch is very hidden and parallel to the route we traveled, so we didn't find it when we came. Although the ditch was only more than a meter deep, Gawa was still smashed, and I quickly jumped down to help him. When Gawa was covering her feet, her face was full of painful expressions.
At this time, Luo Ning and the big man also went down into the ditch respectively and took a flashlight. They found that Jia Wa's foot was spurted by a sharp bone, and even the shoelace foot was worn through a transparent hole, and the blood was flowing. The ditch is covered with layers of various animal bones, which are too numerous to estimate. It seems that this ditch should be a burial pit for animals such as cows, horses, sheep, and dogs.
In order not to disturb the ladybug in the nearby wooden tower, the big man covered Gawa ’s mouth with his hand and did not let him scream. I pulled out the bone that was inserted on his foot, and Luo Ning will carry the first aid kit with him. Yunnan Baiyao was scattered on his wound, and he took out a white bandage to help him bandage and stop bleeding.
My hands were covered with blood from Gawa ’s legs, and I wiped a few randomly on my military uniforms. A thought suddenly flashed in my head. The burial pit of the horse and horse was dug so strangely, not square and round, but Dig into a long ditch shape, and the long ditch leads directly to the wooden tower where the corpse is placed. This shape is exactly similar to the layout called "terrible" mentioned in "Feng Shui Secret Technique". If it is true, then it is parallel There should also be a funeral ditch of the same size.
The two burial trenches sandwiched the tomb structure of the wooden tower parallel to each other, forming the tendency of the two dragons to absorb beads. According to this inference, the trench next to it should be some artifacts used by the Lord in the tomb. I just do n’t know if the two martyrdoms were artificial or natural. It seems that the latter is more likely.
The sound of the nearby river is very loud. Judging from the rapids of the river, there is an underground river in the northwest, behind the nine-story demon tower, because the dragon cannot leave the water.
If this is what I expected, then this map of the underground world is already in my mind, but I only need to find another burial ditch to confirm my inference.
The big man shoved my shoulder: "Lao Hu, what's the matter?"
I wanted to draw God. He was pushed back by him only after he was pushed back. I asked Luo Ning: "Luo Gong, can you estimate our current location? Where is it on the map?"
Luo Ning used the north arrow to calculate with reference to the map, and said for a moment, "We have been walking north for more than ten hours underground, according to our speed, we have already passed the big glacier above our heads. , It should be almost out of Kunlun Mountain. "
I said what I just thought. If I go back at this time, I can only go back to the mountain gap covered by avalanches. If I guess right, we can walk along the underground river and there should be a way out. But to do so, you have to take risks under the nine-story demon tower. This is a plan to survive.
The four of them summed it up. Although it was dangerous, it was worth the risk, but I decided to find another martyrdom to confirm.
Before the action, I asked Ga baby what the is the nine-story demon tower.
Gawa spoke Chinese very hard. After a long talk, I finally understood something. In his hometown, there is also a ruin that is exactly the same as this nine-story demon building. It is said that this kind of "nine-story demon building" is ancient The funeral form of the tombs of all the kings of the Mo Kingdom. When the Mo Kingdom died, the tomb had been destroyed by the hero King Gesar. Only a pile of rotten wood shelves remained on the Tibetan plateau, and the narrative poetry passed down from the mouth of the herdsmen. From generation to generation, King Gesar's unparalleled Wu Xun like the sun.
When Tibetan herdsmen pass by these ruins, they must pay homage and sing epic songs. This is not to fear the mausoleum of the demon king, but to express respect for King Gesar. Gawa also said some religious things, and I couldn't understand it. It was not known whether the ghost-like insects were the resting dead in the tomb.
I left Luo Ning and three other people in the same place and crawled on my own. At a distance of more than 100 meters from the burial ditch of Niu Ma, there really was another burial ditch, which was full of ancient leather boots, ancient Tibetan wood chips, ancient Mongolian cultural wooden tablets, painted wood chips and gold ornaments, wooden tablets, wooden wings, wooden birds and beasts, bronzes, grain and a large amount of silk and other funeral items.
It seems that I inferred nothing wrong. The underground river behind the nine-story demon tower must be connected to the outside world, so he sneaked back to the animal burial ditch to greet the other three for action.
I'm going to open the road first, the big man is carrying a gun behind me, followed by Ga baby, his foot is not stabbed lightly, Luo Ning is helping him walk behind.
The scale of the nine-story demon tower is very large, and the underground cavity was originally very wide, but the tower and the large mica on both sides almost blocked the road to the north, and only narrow areas on both sides could barely pass through.
We passed the wooden tower with confidence, and saw the ladybugs in the tower that shone with flames, and felt that our hearts must jump out of our throats. The distance of 200 meters under the tower, every step of the distance seemed so far away.
