Vermillion mole

Wu Xie fell asleep on the plane, and Zhu Sha and Xie Yuchen chatted one after another.During the period, Fatty sent Zhu Sha a multimedia message, which was a photo of Yun Cai and him. It seemed that they had arrived at Agui's house, and Fatty's mouth was grinning to his ears.After that, I went to the airport to pick up the goods and saw those so-called special equipment for the first time.

Those are some "ribs" of steel structure, like the chest part of an animal bone made of iron, as tall as half a person, and can be disassembled.

"What is this?" Zhu Sha asked Xie Yuchen.

He said, "This is our nest."

"We don't want to play in the air... let's play!"

Xie Yuchen nodded: "You guessed right!"

However, it started to rain at this time, and people came and went at the pick-up area, turned things into the pickup truck, and drove into the urban area of ​​Chengdu in the drizzle.

The wheels are only as big as a washbasin, and it floats straight up when you drive it.

Xie Yuchen said: "Be patient, I will take this small car in the city, and change to a yellow sand car on the dirt road in the mountains, because the road over there is not easy to walk."

Chengdu is a wonderful city, and the word that best describes it is "easy". The truck took us into a small alley in the northern city, and after crossing a street, we could see the front of Sichuan University, which was full of yellow The old yellow cement house looks like it has undergone the transformation of the old city, and it has been embellished in several places, making this old look usable, but it is inherently insufficient.Look carefully at the old house or the old house. At the end of the alley, there is a small guest house. The guest house has no signboard. There is only a wooden board with "accommodation" written in red letters hanging on the doorway rippling in the wind.

Stop the car, go in and bypass the simple front desk (if that thing must be called the front desk), suddenly find it clear, there is a very elegant European-style decoration in the corridor, the floors are all solid wood, and both sides of the corridor are covered with painting.

Xie Yuchen said: "This is their handicap in Chengdu. This guest house is not open to the public. If you want to ask, there are no rooms at all times. The signboard is just a cover, and there are guys from all over the place."

After each entered the room, took a bath and relaxed, a local guy from Sichuan Tangkou took the three of them to eat Korean steamed stuffed buns and strolled a few old streets.

In the evening, I ate a butter hot pot for supper. Zhu Sha made a table for one person. Scared by cinnabar.

Wu Xie was not surprised, he ate and drank while eating and drinking. In the end, he might have drunk too much. He couldn’t find the restroom in the store. He asked a girl, maybe it was because he drank too much and his mouth was not good. "Where" became: "Where is the toilet?" The girl immediately became angry, and cursed in Sichuan dialect: "My old lady is not a toilet!" Xie Yuchen and Zhu Sha laughed happily.

Xie Yuchen took Zhu Sha and Wu Xie for a hasty stroll, and left Chengdu early the next morning and got on the expressway without saying a word.During this period of time, Xie Yuchen and Zhu Sha had a very happy chat. From time to time, the three of them formed a group to play a few games, or each stared out the window, or closed their eyes and fell asleep, looking at those mountains, those clouds, and those days.The scenery slowly changes, the mountains are getting higher and higher, the roads are getting narrower, and the surrounding scenery is getting more and more wild.In the evening, I got down and put on a yellow sand car with better off-road performance, and officially entered the mountain road.Another night in the dark.

Finally, the next morning, Zhu Sha woke up from the bumps and got out of the car to breathe. At first sight, she saw the four continuous snow-capped mountains.

"Siguniang Mountain." The driver said in Sichuan dialect, "the Alps in the East."

Standing on the edge of the road around the mountain, one step further into the abyss, the view ahead is extremely good, looking at the emerald green peaks in front of you, and the huge pure white snow mountain behind, dark green and snow white have never been so harmonious, maybe only Nature can bring up such different but matching scenery, everything is cloudy and misty, and it is so beautiful that it makes people tremble.

"This is the eldest sister, this is the second sister, this is the third sister, and that is Yaomei. Yaomei is the tallest and most beautiful, more than 6000 meters high." The driver continued, "We call it the fourth girl. The area here is full of Qiang and Tibetans. Where we go, there are many Qiang people, remember not to sit on their threshold, and don’t touch their tripods.”

"What's a tripod?" I asked. ．

"Every Qiang family has a Guozhuang, which looks like a tripod. They call it Ximi. An iron pan is hung on Ximi, and there is a bonfire underneath. It is a ten thousand year fire that will never go out for tens of thousands of years. The fire spread by the fire that their Vulcan God gave them before, so that fire is very sacred, I used to have a friend who spit into the fire, and then..." Xie Yuchen said while brushing his teeth, "I bought more than 100 sheep to bring him out."

"Have you been here before?" Wu Xie was a little strange.

He smiled at me: "It's a long story, it's something about me, you don't want to know."

The last part of the road was done by motorcycle. We asked a few local people to drive motorcycles, negotiated the price, and moved all the things out of the car. We came to a village closest to the road and looked for surplus labor in the village who did not go out to work. , hired three or four people, pretending to be photojournalists, and asked them to help with some moving things.They packed a few more motorcycles and transported everyone to another village in the mountains.

When Mrs. Huo came here, it was really a deep mountain and an old forest. It is much better now than it was then. Although I have experienced a lot of troubles, I finally entered the place they said before on the third day after arriving in Sichuan. Near the cliff, it is only half a day away from the nearest township.At this time, Fatty and Zhang Qiling should still be on their way to the mountains in Banai, Guangxi.

I used mules to carry all the equipment close to my body and walked along the root of the cliff. I soon discovered that caves began to appear on the cliff, one after another, and some places were extremely dense. "Some of the caves are covered by those trees, but in fact there are more caves above." The local people told us that this kind of mountain wall full of caves is everywhere on the surrounding mountains.The locals call this kind of fairy moth, and I don’t know if it’s written like that, it sounds a bit weird.

Wu Xie asked Xie Yuchen: "How is it? Do you know which is the cave where they found the silk book?"

Xie Yuchen shook his head and said: "The old lady didn't come up by herself back then, and after so many years, even if there were marks left back then, all of them are probably gone. I only know that it should be in the middle, and the position is very high. We have to look for it. "As he spoke, Xie Yuchen asked others to untie their equipment, and then began to describe the entire cliff, numbering all the caves that could be seen.

"Looking for it?" Wu Xie felt a little dizzy when he looked up at the cliff.

Xie Yuchen's buddy asked the local people to remove all the ropes from the mule, and under the guidance of the Sichuan buddy, he tied the rope to a climbing anchor, which is a small piece of equipment that can be inserted into a gap in a rock and instantly stuck.

There is a complete set of rock climbing equipment, seat belts, descenders, safety iron locks, rope sets, safety helmets, rock climbing shoes, chalk and chalk bags. The earliest rock climbing association in the world comes from the Soviet Union, but these things are all made in Switzerland.It looked very reassuring.

However, Xie Yuchen did not follow the rules completely. He took off his coat, only dragged the rope around his waist, and started climbing with his bare hands in his vest.

Zhu Sha took a look, took off his coat, and patted Wu Xie on the back: "Be good and I'll help him." After speaking, she also took the rope and began to climb with her bare hands.

Wu Xie was very curious, seeing that cinnabar didn't have any point of strength, but he was still able to climb up.And the speed is very fast. Looking at Xie Yuchen, he found that he was also doing acrobatics. Wu Xie was silently thinking about life underneath. He found out why everyone is better than him! Even Huo Xiuxiu is better than him!

Zhu Sha climbed to the top in only half an hour, then fixed the rope and threw the other section down.

Xie Yuchen was taken aback when he saw the rope, grabbed the rope and quickly climbed up.Glancing at Zhu Sha: "If I had known you were so fast, I would have let you come directly. I was exhausted after so much effort."

Then the people below used the rope to hoist all the equipment up through a pulley, and then the seven ropes were thrown down from above to make seven "ladders" for rock climbing

Wu Xie looked at these ropes, and suddenly realized that he might be despised again, because these things cinnabar and Xie Yuchen were not needed at all, they could only be used for himself.

Afterwards, several guys in Sichuan built the so-called "nest", which was made of steel bars and looked like claws. The claws could hold a sleeping bag, and the sleeping bag and the claws had many fixing rings. Six metal rings are attached to the cliff.

Zhu Sha looked at the Sichuan guy and said to Xie Yuchen, "Don't tell me, we're going to rest here? Won't we fall down and turn into meat sauce?"

Xie Yuchen said: "Don't worry, this is invented by the Finns. It is a device used by bird photographers to shoot a kind of eagle on the cliff. This kind of eagle lives on the cliff and is very difficult to observe. They made this kind of claw and used it. This sleeping bag can live on the cliff for several months without falling to the ground. There are too many holes on the cliff, we have to find them all, it will take at least a week or two, and this cliff is so high that ordinary people may need to go up. All day, so just stay up there."

When Wu Xie came up, 8 hours had passed, and the sun was setting.

Xie Yuchen sat on a rock with his feet dangling in the air. Below was the abyss. He looked at the snow-capped mountains with a very solemn look in his eyes.

There was nothing to say that night, and the time was urgent, only three sets of equipment were ordered, and at the same time, I didn't want to be too public when I did it.

Xie Yuchen said: "The three of us are enough. We have two days to do the initial search. We will not proceed to the next step until the grandma on the other side arrives at the lake in Banai and prepares everything."

Mrs. Huo firmly believed that the other half of the Zhang family building was buried deep at the bottom of the lake. The remains of Zhang family ancestors were buried at the bottom of the building. The inheritance is endless and there is almost no transmission. Where did they come from, and what are they doing in this world?Why must they be sealed with molten iron after death?Did he really tell Mrs. Huo that they are monsters at all, and that their corpses will undergo extremely abnormal and dangerous changes after death?

Maybe now, except for Zhu Sha, no one knows why Shi Shi Lei built this ancient building of the Zhang family, which was completely protected from light, to store the remains hundreds of years ago, and how they reached a certain consensus with the emperor at that time ?

Xie Yuchen went to bed early, and Wu Xie also slept very deeply. Zhu Sha didn't need to rest, so he found the cave by himself. It only took three hours, because there were obvious traces of artificial reinforcement around the cave, and the cave was only half the size. The height of a person is deeper than all the holes, but you can still see the bottom at a glance, and there is a skeleton sitting cross-legged inside.

It may not be appropriate to talk about the skeleton, because the corpse has a complete human shape, but it is not a mummified corpse. The skeleton can maintain the human shape mainly because he is wearing an iron suit.

The iron coat is very similar to a chain rack, but it is made of old iron. The whole iron coat has rusted into a whole. The bones inside have long since fallen apart, and only the outer shell has maintained its pre-death posture.There are many hollows on the black cave walls around the bones, and it seems that the silk books from the past are all placed here.It has now been completely ransacked.

Mark Zhu Sha back to the ground, find the buddies and ask them to find a hammer.

Although the guy didn't understand, he did it anyway.Soon he found a hammer and gave it to Zhu Sha, and Zhu Sha climbed back to the top with the hammer.

After finding the cinnabar at the entrance of the cave, they began to beat. The stone wall behind this ancient corpse was covered with many strange dried and cracked mud marks. When the mud marks were scraped off, the cement was impressively visible.

The stone wall at the back was built with the rocks here mixed with cement. Apparently, before they withdrew that year, they completely sealed off the place.

Zhu Sha hit the cement-mixed stone wall twice with a hammer. A few pieces of cement were smashed off the stone wall, and the color of the cement inside changed, showing a dark red.

Zhu Sha frowned, blood?The cinnabar continued to smash, and more and more cement was broken. The whole block of cement inside was of this color, and the color became darker as it went in, closer to the real red.

After smashing it a few more times, a few stones were pulled out. All the cement inside was red, as if the cement was mixed with blood plasma.

Zhu Sha threw away the stone and began to smash it vigorously. After smashing for half an hour, she suddenly broke a stone and found a piece of bone exposed from the cement.

Cinnabar smashed a few more times, pushed away the nearby stones, and a strange skeleton was exposed from the stones.

It was a corpse that was completely decomposed but not decomposed. These bones were covered with a layer of strange "hair".If you look carefully, you will find that it is covered with "hair" like mold.

Zhu Sha looked at these hairs, and remembered that Zhang Qishan also encountered the same situation where hairs got into his body when he robbed the tomb.

Although Zhu Sha didn't know what it was, her guess was that it was a kind of filarworm, and its food was blood. Once it got blood, it would multiply and grow quickly, but it was afraid of fire and high temperature, and it had special blood .
