Chapter 745 Ruins
The dark clouds above the head were bleak and the thick fog in the valley was filled with.
But Gao Yan and Hu Tao were not nervous at all. They took out the medicinal materials prepared in advance. When they packed their luggage, I thought they were preparing to treat everyone.
Unexpectedly, they took out the medicine powder at this time. I said why they had to grind all the prepared medicinal materials into powder? It turned out that there was a special purpose.
When you are at the top of the mountain, you can still feel a strong wind passing by. When you go to the bottom of the valley, you don’t even have a trace of wind, and you can’t feel the air flow moving at all.
Gao Yan and Hu Tao each carried a bag of medicine powder and dispersed as they walked. The two of them spread out a track, and the width between them could accommodate four people in parallel.
There is no grass growing in the canyon, but the ground is still flat, so we can see bones all over the ground, like decorations on the ground, including cattle, sheep, animals, and humans.
"I said, this place is so scary, why hasn't anyone reported it before? People who like curiosity and adventure must like it." I crossed the corpse all over the ground and asked at Gao Yan.
"You also see that there is danger here. Of course, the fewer people know, the better. Do you have to report it extensively and let someone die? This place was originally a forbidden area, and there was a warning sign at the foot of the mountain, but it turned out that someone was watching." Gao Yan said, stopping and signaling me to see a corpse in front of her feet.
The clothes on the body of the corpse are torn and only the backpack behind him is intact, but judging from the style of the backpack, it should be the old style from decades ago.
"In 1978, after the last group of scientific expedition members disappeared here, signs were set up at the foot of the mountain, prohibiting herders and tourists from climbing this mountain." Gao Yan pointed to the mountain behind us and said.
"How did you find this kind of place? It's incredible." I sighed.
"The world is so big, I look around all day long." Gao Yan replied with a smile, and then continued to disperse the medicine powder.
Just one-third of the time we left, we found two fresh corpses. Their death was very terrifying. The skin exposed outside was full of small black spots, which could definitely drive people with dense phobia.
In fact, those small black dots are extremely small holes. When we approached the corpse, there were originally black thin lines that looked like heads drilled out of the hole, but when Gao Yan's medicine powder dissipated, the black lines immediately retracted into the corpse.
The scene was like a corpse growing black hair, but we all knew that it could not be fungi, they could stretch and shrink, and they might be bugs we had never seen before.
"Can this medicine powder kill them?" Gu Yu asked.
"No, but it can limit their movements so that they dare not get close to them." Hu Tao explained.
"What if it rains?" Gu Yu asked again.
"There is only fog and no rain in the canyon. At least we have never rained even during the period of time we lived here." Hu Tao was deceived by Gao Yan to the world of two people in the last time and space, and he was always very guilty, so when everyone was together, he rarely spoke.
Although Gao Yan took all the responsibilities and said that she forced him over, Hu Tao was an adult. If he wanted to subdue Gao Yan, it would be impossible for him to escape from it.
But he couldn't bear to hurt Gao Yan, and between his lover and his friends, he chose his lover.
He felt that he had betrayed everyone, and he always had a knot in his heart. This was what Gao Yan told me, hoping that Gu Yu and I could have a good talk with him.
During the days when Long Tao and I left, Gu Yu talked to Hu Tao. I don’t know what they had specifically talked about, but I feel that Hu Tao still took his taciturn route, not as clear as before.
No one blamed him, the problem is that he can't pass his own barrier, and maybe he will take some time to think about it.
Judging from the number of cars parked at the foot of the mountain, the team ahead had at least forty people, but in the first half of the canyon, we saw twelve corpses.
This shows that they are not prepared for the situation in the canyon, and they only know that they are running away in a hurry when they encounter an accident. The body has backpacks, a mountaineering rope and a mountaineering pickaxe.
After losing the twelve team members, the team in front learned to fight back, and they lit fabrics, or anything that could burn, to fight against the thin black lines.
We saw a lot of burnt items on the ground, but we never saw the corpse again. Of course, the bloody broken hand did not count, it could only be considered a residual limb.
Gao Yan asked us to wear gas masks in the second half of the journey, and she and Hu Tao also stopped dissipating the medicine powder.
On this road, we saw ten more corpses, their faces were black, and even their eyes and tongues were black.
Similarly, no one moved their equipment, and things like flashlights and mining lamps were thrown down.
When I came to the "gate" that Gao Yan said, I finally saw the gap between the mountain one meter wide.
Above the gap, countless things like hemp rope hanging down, just hanging above a person's head.
"Is this a plant?" I asked at the hemp rope.
"Yes, but you can also call it hanging rope." Gao Yan said with a smile.
After she said that, she took out two stones from her backpack. Hu Tao acted the same way as her, and they distributed the stones to me and Gu Yu.
"On the head." Gao Yan first made a demonstration. She put an apple-sized stone on her head and took the lead in walking into the mountain passage.
Gu Yu and I also imitated her movements and walked into the passage with the stones. We did not encounter the bodies of the group of people in front of us again on the way.
"How did they pass through this place? OK." I murmured in wonder.
"What's OK, look at it." Gao Yan walked in front of me and said without looking back.
I looked up and saw a pair of feet above my head, about three meters above my head.
The foot was still shaking slightly, and I shouted in surprise: "He is still alive!"
Gao Yan turned around and looked at the feet coldly: "Diet, it was the movement caused by the thing sucking blood and flesh in his body."
I sucked the flesh and blood, but no drop of blood was leaking. Thinking about the scene, it was not very comfortable. I took two steps and stopped looking up at it.
At the end of the mountain passage, there was sunshine shining down. When we stepped out of the passage, we saw a completely different world view.
The blue sky and white clouds, the birds sing and the flowers scent, and herds of horses and cows graze on the grassland.
Strictly speaking, compared with the beautiful scenery of Tibetan areas recorded by photographers with cameras, this place is not the most beautiful. It is strange that we know that the other end of the two mountains is not a grassland at all.
It should be another snow-capped mountain with no wide area in the middle, not even lakes or streams.
"You guys understand what I mean," said Gao Yan.
"You mean that the 'door' is really a door, the door leading to another space." Gu Yu was also surprised when he looked at the scene in front of him.
"Yes, this is another world, but it's more than that." Gao Yan led us to continue walking.
Through the sea of flowers and bypassing the lake, she took us into a forest where the forest was tall and dense.
Interestingly, there is also a passage in the forest. This road paved with white stone is like a dividing line, and all the trees, flowers and plants are avoiding it.
When we saw footprints on the White Stone Road, we knew that the people from the previous team had already walked over.
"Seeing the number of footprints, there should be sixteen people." Hu Tao squatted down to check the footprints. We did not rush forward and asked him to take a closer look.
"Hmph, I don't know how many people can go to the end." Gao Yan suddenly sneered.
This is another world hidden in the snow-capped mountains. The canyon passage alone is very dangerous, and the white stone road is obviously paved manually. If the people who built the place do not want outsiders to come in, there should be arrangements such as mechanism traps in front of them.
Sure enough, just after walking forward for five minutes, blood appeared on the white stone road.
It was just that there were blood and no corpses, so Gao Yan did not take any precautions this time.
"There are other creatures, wise?" I didn't want to use my mental power, but out of curiosity, I used my mental power to explore this magical land. It is now that there is a wise life, and it is quite huge in size.
"Yes, don't worry, they won't get close to us." Gao Yan picked out a necklace from her collar. The necklace pendant was a strange symbol, made of like a bone.
Obviously this is an amulet, with it in those large creatures that won't attack us.
Five minutes later, dense gunfire suddenly sounded in the forest, accompanied by human screams and angry roars.
The white stone road is like a corridor, with dense and tall trees blocking it in the middle, so we can't see what is growing in front of us.
"Stop and wait." Gao Yan took the lead, and we stopped as soon as she stopped.
"Can't you go and help?" I thought that the one ahead was human after all, and everyone came in just to take shelter. Since they happened to meet, it would be better to help.
"Do you know why they came?" Gao Yan asked with a heavy expression.
"Take refuge." I said.
"Is there an old, weak, female and child that we saw along the way?" Gao Yan asked.
I thought about it and there was no one. The bodies were all young and strong men.
It is indeed a bit fantasy to say that dozens of people are all refugees who are alone and dress and equipment in a unified manner.
"They must be looking for that one when they come in." Gao Yan said coldly.
Just as we were talking, there was a sudden "bang" sound in front of us, and then we were almost knocked down by the vibration of the ground.
Did that group detonate a mine or a bomb?
Listening to the shouts, there were still several people alive. They used their companions as bait, tied explosives to the bait, and when the bait was swallowed raw, they detonated the explosives.
We were not too far away, so we could hear clearly that they first knocked their companions out and then sent them into the beast's mouth.
I originally wanted to help them, but now when I heard them discussing the "battle plan" just now, the similar friendship in my heart immediately disappeared.
And according to their meaning, it is indeed like Gao Yan said, who came to find something, and even said that if you get it, you will be invincible in the world and you can become a hero in troubled times.
Gao Yan and Hu Tao have lived here for so long, but they are not invincible in the world. I guess these people must have believed in some rumors of storm.
When we passed through the forest, the scenery in front of us almost shocked my chin. There was a palace built of blue and white jade in front of us. It was decorated with gold edges and white crystal stone as floor tiles.
The white jade used here is not white marble, but real white jade. Gao Yan said that the lamps in the palace are made of various gemstones.
"Where is this?" I never believed that there were such luxurious palaces in the world, it was like a smaller Tibetan ancient palace.
"Shambala." Gao Yan's eyes were empty, as if he was looking at something else through the palace.
"Isn't that the Pure Land?" I have heard a little about the legends in Tibetan areas.
"Yes, it is considered a paradise made by Buddhism, but there is indeed no Buddha here." Gao Yan withdrew her gaze and said seriously: "This is a ruin."
