Ma Di, an old man, likes to drink a few sips of wine when he is not studying knowledge. He doesn't drink much.But according to him, he drinks in a reasonable manner, and has never been in trouble with drinking.

I was carrying two bottles of wine, and as soon as I arrived at the gate of the Institute of Paleontology, I saw Ma Su wearing a waistcoat and a pair of flowery pants, carrying a lunch box to the cafeteria for dinner.

I know that Ma Di lives alone and has a dormitory in the college, but he is willing to live in the laboratory and be with those specimens and strange animals and plants every day, so he is called the strange professor.

"Old horse." I called Ma Di.

Ma Su turned his head and saw me, and I raised the wine bottle in my hand at him.

Ma Di suddenly smiled and led me into his office.

Ma Di pushed the sundries on the table aside, took what was in my hand, put it on the table, and kept muttering: "You boy, you still have a bit of conscience, unlike your third uncle. Do you still think about it?" It's really rare to see me..."

As he said that, Ma Di took out two glasses from nowhere, opened the wine bottle and poured two glasses.He picked up the wine glass, sniffed it, and showed an expression of enjoyment.

I shook my head and said, "Lao Ma, when I saw you the last two times, you weren't so close to this wine? Although your image wasn't very good at the time, you weren't so sloppy, you have a big vest and big flowery pants , how can you look like a professor?"

Ma Di took a sip of his wine and said, "Nonsense. At that time we didn't know each other well, so I had to maintain my image as a professor, didn't I? You didn't say hello this time, so I could change my outfit."

I waved my hand: "Forget it, I feel pretty good with your outfit."

Ma Di grabbed a roasted chicken, tore off a chicken leg, and asked while eating: "The matter of the reincarnated cat you asked about last time, have you solved it?"

Ma Di's style is quite similar to the third uncle's in some aspects.So it makes me feel more cordial. Although I don't have much contact time, I no longer feel unfamiliar.

I nodded: "You're right, that black cat is really a reincarnated cat. After some hard work with my third uncle, the matter was sorted out. Third uncle asked me to convey my thanks."

Ma Su spat out a piece of chicken bone, and said disdainfully: "Your third uncle, can you thank me? Can he spit out ivory? I'm bah. Don't tell me this, you boy. If you have something to say, do you meet again?" What's wrong?"

I was hit by Ma Di, and I was a little embarrassed.

Ma Di went on to say: "Let's talk. We hit it off, it has nothing to do with your third uncle."

I nodded and asked straight to the point: "Nanliu Village, have you heard of it?"

Ma Di chewed the chicken, blinked his eyes, and shook his head: "Nanliu Village? I haven't heard of it, and I haven't been there either."

I know that Ma Su has a very good memory. The places and place names he has visited, as well as the classics he has read, are almost all engraved in his mind.Since he said that, he must have never heard of this place.

I was a little disappointed, and Ma Di asked me why I mentioned this place?

With a sad face, I told Ma Di what happened in the past two days without any concealment.

After hearing this, Ma Di did not express his opinion for a long time.

I asked: "Lao Ma, do you think there is such a place in the world? There are two places in one place. One is in the light and the other is in the dark. The two places are in different spaces?"

Ma Di nodded: "As far as I know, there is such a theory in the world. For example, in a certain place in the world, as long as someone passes through a certain obstacle and enters that space, time will go back hundreds of years. Years ago, or directly shifted hundreds or even thousands of kilometers to another place. This is the theory of time and space conversion, but unfortunately my research in this area is not very deep. Your question can only be answered here gone."

I was very surprised when I heard it. I heard what the old horse meant. Isn't this a kind of time travel?I have only seen it in novels, does it also exist in reality?This is a bit too wild, do whatever you want, right?

At this time, Ma Di asked again: "Where is the Nanliu Village you mentioned?"

"I heard from my third uncle that it's in the border area between Guangdong and Guangxi, a place called Fuyang Mountain."

"Where is it?" Ma Di still had a mouthful of chicken in his mouth, and almost sprayed me in the face.

"What's wrong with you, old horse? Isn't it disgusting?"

Ma Di quickly chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed the chicken, and rolled his eyes from choking.

After swallowing the chicken, he let out a long breath, and then asked me: "Where do you think Nanliu Village is?"

"Mt. Fuyang, the border between Guangxi and Guangdong. Do you know that place?"

Ma Di rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then turned and entered his laboratory.After a while, he came out with a map and spread it on the table.

He quickly found the sign on the map, pointed to a place and said, "It should be here."

The words on the map are very small, I looked down carefully, but I couldn't find the three words Fuyang Mountain.

I asked suspiciously: "Is it my bad eyesight or something, how can there be Fuyang Mountain here?"

"That's right. Let me tell you, this Mount Yang is not the name of the current mountain, but it is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas. It is an ancient mountain range. I once led a team to that area."

Having said this, Ma Di's expression suddenly changed.

Chapter 101

I saw something wrong with Ma Di's reaction, so I hurriedly asked, "Old Ma, why...is this mountain weird?"

Ma Di looked at me and said, "Li Yang, if that Nanliu Village is really located in Fuyang Mountain, I advise you not to go. Don't ask me why."

Ma Su looked very strange, I think he must have been to Fuyang Mountain, and what else he experienced in Fuyang Mountain.Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to change his expression so much when I mention Fuyang Mountain.

And since I have experienced so many trips to the haunted house with my third uncle, although I haven't learned much, my ability to resist attacks is still much stronger.Ma Di's words did not scare me, but aroused my curiosity even more.

I filled Ma Di with wine, pulled him to sit in front of the map, and said, "Old Ma, you can't say anything. You have to tell me what happened to Fuyang Mountain. Now I have been The third uncle has been set up, and there is no turning back at all. I can only count on you to give me advice. "

Ma Di took a sip from his wine glass, tapped his mouth, and cursed: "You third uncle, you are just an old fool. You will die as soon as you die. How can you push your nephew into the fire pit? I see, sooner or later, you boy In the hands of your third uncle, I don't even bother to talk about him."

I quickly followed suit: "That's right, I've seen this Li Dagang a long time ago. He is not from our Li family at all. Maybe he was adopted, or I was adopted. We must not be related by blood."

Professor Wei and I sat down, drank two glasses of wine together, and scolded the third uncle for a while. Lao Ma's expression became serious again, and he said to me earnestly: "Yangzi. I have been to this Fuyang Mountain. At that time He also led a small team, the mission is to find a rather strange local animal, which is said to be only found in Fuyang Mountain."

"What animal? Isn't that a rare animal?"

Professor Guai got up, took out a picture book from the bookshelf next to it, flipped through a few pages and pointed to one of the pages to show me.

I saw an animal on that page, but it wasn't printed, it was hand-painted.At the same time, there is a blurry photo next to it, which is full of vegetation.

That animal is very strange, I have never seen it before.It looks like a cross between a snake and a centipede.It has a snake-like round head and a slender tail, but there are many limbs distributed on the body, and there are many densely packed thin feet. The image looks terrible.

On the top of the picture, there are two words: Earth Jiao.

I asked, "Old Ma, is this animal called the Earth Jiao?"

Ma Di nodded: "I gave it the name. I don't know the exact name. We went there to find this kind of creature. The photo was provided to us by a local villager, but the photo is not clear. You Look carefully and see if you can see it?"

I stared at the photo to identify it carefully, and finally my eyes were dazzled, and finally found a shadow of this animal in the grass inside.It's similar to the outline of the body in the picture, but if it's a little thinner, it can't be seen clearly.

I asked Ma Di: "Is it because of this kind of animal that Fuyang Mountain is scary? Is it poisonous?"

Ma Di shook his head: "That's not the case. We people often go to the mountains. Even if it is poisonous, we are not afraid. We bring the best antidote and preventive measures. I said that Mount Fuyang is scary because it is there... "

As Ma Di said, he wiped his forehead with his hand, and the old man broke out in a cold sweat.

Ma Di poured another half glass of white wine, raised his neck and poured it in.Ma Di's capacity for alcohol is not good, and after several consecutive gulps, he was already a little out of breath.

I hurriedly stopped him: "Old Ma, it's almost over, stop drinking."

Ma Di nodded, his face flushed, and his complexion seemed to be better than before.

He sat down and told me about their experience of going to Fuyang Mountain while reminiscing.

For the convenience of expression, I will describe it in the tone of Ma Di:

Almost three years ago, our school received a project to study this unknown creature.This creature is most likely Paleozoic and has survived to this day.In the Yuyang Mountain area, some people have found its whereabouts, but there is no information.The school attached great importance to it and set up an investigation team with me as the leader.

However, this kind of research has not been officially reported to the country, so there should not be too many people, and it is not appropriate to make a big fuss.So the team members identified four people, I was the team leader, and Xing Mo was my assistant.In addition, there is a man and a woman, the man is Zhou Zheng, and the woman is Wen Youyou.They are all my graduate students.After we were ready, we set off for Fuyang Mountain.

Thinking about it now, we were not prepared well enough at that time, nor did we consider the danger well enough.Because of our configuration, we have been to the whole country, and even many places in the world, and have achieved good results.This time we thought it was easy too.

We only have a sketched map in our hands, marking the approximate range of that animal, and we don't know anything else.

We took the train, then transferred to a car, and took a horse-drawn carriage, and it took us a whole day to reach the Fuyang Mountain area.

We drew a sketch of this animal based on the only information we had in hand, just like the one in this album. For convenience, I named it Dijiao.We showed the pictures of Dijiao to the local mountain people. After those mountain people saw it, some said they had seen this kind of animal, but most of them said they had never seen it.But when they heard that we were going to enter Fuyang Mountain, they all blocked us with one voice, but refused to explain the reason.

And when they mentioned Fuyang Mountain, their expressions were very bad, as if that Fuyang Mountain was hell, a ghost cave.

But we came with a mission, how could we go back home without even entering the mountain.I know that the Fuyang Mountain is not high, the mountain is not very complicated, and the geographical risk factor is not very high.The reason why those mountain people talk about the change in the color of the mountain is probably related to the mountain spirit and ghost.

But in our group, except for me, the others don't believe in ghosts and gods.So after a brief discussion, we entered the mountain without hesitation.

My assistant, Xing Mo, is an expert in outdoor sports and often conducts field survival training, so it is not difficult for him to go into the mountains.Zhou Zheng and Wen Youyou are my students and a couple. They have also traveled to many places with me, and their experience is not a problem.After we entered the mountain, the scenery in the mountain was very pleasant. Because it has not been developed yet, many natural landscapes are breathtaking.

After entering the mountain, we walked for a long time, and I couldn't help being moved by the scenery in the mountain.

Little did we know, danger was approaching us...

Chapter 102

We all know that going into the mountains, especially the primitive forests, is okay during the day, but it is the hardest at night.

We originally planned to go into the mountains to explore the road, and then withdraw before it was dark, and made a plan before going into the mountains for the second time.But after we entered the mountain, we somewhat forgot the concept of time. When we thought about going back, it was going to be dark soon.

We confirmed the coordinates and found that we would definitely not be able to go out before dark, so we decided to find a place to camp on the spot, and after dawn, we will look for the ground Jiao.

After some exploration, we set up a tent on a flat ground and started camping.

We often have to camp in the wild, so these tasks are not a problem. After some arrangements, we quickly built a small camp.A bonfire was also lit in the middle of the camp, and personnel on duty for the night were appointed.The lineup that night was Xing Mo in the first half of the night, and Zhou Zheng in the second half of the night.Wen Youyou and I took the time to rest.

I am old and fell asleep quickly after eating something that night.

I don't know when it was, but I was suddenly woken up by Wen Youyou.I opened my eyes and looked at the time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

I was very puzzled, and asked her if it was not the night of the arranged week?Why isn't she sleeping?

Wen Youyou had an anxious expression on her face, and told me that Zhou Zheng was gone.

I was shocked. In this mountain forest, it would be very dangerous if we got separated.Although this Fuyang Mountain is not a primeval forest, wild animals often appear there.

I hurriedly followed Wen Youyou out, only to find that Xing Mo was also outside with a flashlight.

The bonfire on the ground was still burning, but Zhou Zheng had disappeared.

This is something that has never happened before, because when camping in the wild, the importance of the night watchman is self-evident.He must be vigilant enough, not only to keep the bonfire from being extinguished, but also to report the situation to everyone in time.

I asked Xing Mo: "What's going on?"

Xing Mo shook his head: "It was around 11:30, and it wasn't time for the handover. Zhou Zheng came out and said he couldn't sleep, so he wanted to replace me early. I filled the campfire with some firewood, and went into the tent to sleep. Did you sleep? After a while, Yoyo reminded me that Zhou Zheng was gone."

We were all in a hurry at the time, Zhou Zheng was always cautious, he would never leave the camp during his night watch.

We explored around the camp, and were a little relieved when we found no footprints of wild beasts.But they found the footprints of a pair of people walking out from the middle of the camp.

After checking, the footprints belonged to Zhou Zheng.

Yoyo is more impatient, for fear that Zhou Zheng will be in danger.So we chased out of the camp along the footprints with flashlights.

At that time, I had an ominous premonition. Coupled with the previous remarks of the villagers, I was also in a cold sweat at this time.

After walking out of the camp, Zhou Zheng's footprints were somewhat unclear.We had no choice but to continue to expand the search area outside the camp based on experience.After two hours of searching, we heard the sound of running water.At the same time, Yoyo also found Zhou Zheng's footprints again.

We followed the footprints and found a water pool after walking not far.

Because the moonlight shines on the water surface, the light is reflected, so it is much brighter than in the forest.We sent a letter and there was a figure by the pool, I don't know what it was doing.From the back, it was Zhou Zheng.

We hurried over, and just about to call him, we discovered an extremely strange scene.

Zhou Zheng was squatting by the pool in a strange posture, looking up at the moon in the sky with his neck up.His mouth was opened wide, making a wheezing sound.

His spirit was extremely focused, our footsteps were heavy, and Yoyo even yelled twice.But Zhou Zheng didn't realize our arrival at all, and still maintained that posture.

Wen Youyou wanted to go forward to pull him, but saw Zhou Zheng quickly lowered his head again, and directly plunged his head into the pool.

A stream of bubbles popped up on the surface of the water.

Fearing that Zhou Zheng would drown, we hurried over and pulled him out of the pool.

Zhou Zheng's eyes were empty, and there were a lot of aquatic plants in his mouth.He was so strong that he struggled desperately to break free.

Fortunately, there were three of us, so we could barely control him.

I knew there must be something wrong with Zhou Zheng, so I hurriedly carried Zhou Zheng back to the camp without any explanation.

We took the compass and returned to the camp according to the coordinates. I found out that our camp is not far from the water pool.There is only a dense forest in between.It's just that we searched around for a while, which wasted a lot of time.

When he arrived at the camp, Zhou Zheng's resistance seemed to disappear suddenly.

He was wet all over, lying limply on the ground, his belly was bulging and hard to the touch.

I don't know how much he drank from the pool during the time we didn't go there.

I hurriedly found out the medicine to induce vomiting, and gave it to Zhou Zheng to take it.

Before long, Zhou Zheng began to vomit violently. Most of what he vomited out was black water, and there were many aquatic plants, small fish and shrimps in the middle.The water that was spit out had a stench that made people sick.

After vomiting for half an hour, Zhou Zheng's stomach was not as bulging as before.The breath also calmed down.

We stayed by his side until Zhou Zheng woke up at dawn the next day.

Wen Youyou was already crying badly, and she was relieved when she saw Zhou Zheng woke up.
