Chapter 119 The Forbidden Thread

I asked Shirley Yang: "I see that these two stones poked here. Although they seem to be raucous, the rock itself is not special. If it is a meteorite and exposed outside, there should be a crater here. Look at where there are any traces of being impacted by meteorites nearby."

Shirley Yang looked at his watch again and said to me: "Look at the submersible electronic watch you wear on your wrist. There is no time to show it now. There are many crystals on this stone. I guess it contains some rare gas, as well as the elements of the universe, electronic circuit transistors and radio equipment, which are affected by it. There may be more crashes nearby, which are related to these two meteorites. Once the aircraft deviate from the channel approaches the sky above this area, all electronic equipment will fail. This place is like the big triangle of Yunnan."

The fat man and I both raised our hands to look at our watches. Sure enough, they were all gray-white crystals. All the data disappeared, just like the battery was exhausted. I went to the rocks to watch again. Sure enough, there were many less obvious crystals on it. I have been an engineer for several years and dug holes in Kunlun Mountain for many years. Kunlun Mountain has an overlapping geological structure and almost all kinds of rock layers, so I can recognize most of the rocks, but I have never seen this gray crystalline mineral rock before, and it looks a bit like a meteorite.

The fat man was a little unbelievable, but we didn't have any extra electronic products on us, so we took out a radio from our backpack. I took it on the way to listen to news and radio. Since there was no signal after entering the mountain, so I kept pressing on the bottom of the bag. I took it out at this time. As soon as we turned on the switch, a few noises were immediately heard. Then, no matter how hard it was, there was no movement.

Looking at flashlights and other equipment, it has no effect since they use dry batteries to generate electricity. The fat man said strangely: "It's so weird. There are also such stones. I don't know how much the international transaction price is one or two. Let's collect some of them back and study it." After that, he picked up the mountaineering pickaxe and wanted to knock down a few samples on the rock.

I hurriedly stopped the fat man and said to the fat man: "Don't move, what if there is radiation? I remember seeing it somewhere. There are radioactive substances in the meteorites. When they are radiated, they will lose their hair first, and finally their whole body will rot and die."

Shirley Yang said, "Not all meteorites have radioactive substances. There may be some electromagnetic energy in this piece, so it has serious interference to electronic equipment. This meteorite may not have fallen here, but was moved to the valley entrance. As a sign of the entrance of the king's tomb, it is actually very rare to have large meteorites that can fall to the ground. There is a large meteorite in the United States. The falling meteorite must be at an angle of 6.5 degrees with the horizontal tangent line of the atmosphere. Otherwise, due to friction, it will burn excessively and disappear into ashes. These two stones are just a little residue left after burning. The crystals on the surface are formed by strong combustion. Although there is no grass here, there are active insects and ants around it, so it may not be harmless to the human body. However, if you are not sure about the final analysis, I advise you not to touch it."

The fat man was still not willing to accept it, but after all, he had already obtained a few real antiques from the old banyan tree, so he did it and threatened to come to the Insect Valley to pick stones when he couldn't make it in the future.

We stood at the entrance of the valley and looked at the two stones with "human eyes" painted. We originally wanted to camp here tonight, and set out to enter the depths of the valley tomorrow morning to find the entrance marked by toads, but no matter how we looked, we felt something was wrong. Standing at the entrance of the valley, we felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by those eyes. However, the situation in the "Word Valley" is unclear. If we walk in, we know what we will encounter, so we had to go back again and go back to the bushes covered with red flowers to create rice.

Since we took a bamboo raft into "Zhelong Mountain" until now, except for the fat man who slept for most nights, the three of us have not had a good rest for two days and one night. At this time, we were exhausted and chose a relatively secluded and empty place to camp on site.

There are not many insects and ants nearby, and the fragrance of flowers and trees is scented. It is indeed a good place for camping and sleeping. We all know that starting tomorrow, there will inevitably be many life-threatening activities. Tonight is the last chance to rest. We must go back to our best physical and mental state through enough sleep. So we ate some beef and dry food bought from Caiyun Inn, and ate it in a hurry, leaving the fat man on the first shift. We took turns to sleep in the sleeping bag and sleeping. Since we shot a large eagle owl in the forest last night. Eagle owl is an animal with strong revenge. When dawn approached, several of them had already attacked us. However, because it was already dawn and they were not used to moving during the day, they retreated temporarily. It is not certain when they look at the cold one and will make a comeback and take revenge. Therefore, this vigilant must have.

At night, I suddenly felt a numbness on my hand, which was very itchy and pierced. The itchy part was the quilt bitten by the piranha in the mountains. I sat up from the sleeping bag and reached out to touch it. The tape wrapped on the back of my hand that was originally tied with waterproof tape had broken a hole. Black worms crawled out of the wound. I hurriedly pinched two of them with my hands, and the more the worms crawled more and more. I was shocked and wanted to find someone to help. When I looked up, I saw that the surroundings were quiet, the moon was hanging in the air, and the whereabouts of the fat man and Shirley Yang were gone. The sleeping bag was empty.

Suddenly, the nearby flowers and trees were heard. An old man in a green robe, wearing a golden mask, rode on an elephant, passed through the red flowers and trees, and rushed towards me. He was coming with great force. I hurriedly rolled away and dodged. Suddenly I felt someone was pushing my shoulder. I opened my eyes suddenly and it turned out to be a nightmare.

Shirley Yang was watching me next to me: "You were shocked and dreaming again?"

The clothes on my body were blown through cold sweat. The dream was too real. I nodded to Shirley Yang. It seemed that it was my turn to watch the nightmare. Strangely, I just dreamed that the person wearing a mask was King Xian? There would be no feeling in the dream, but the itchy and painful pain in the wound still existed vaguely after waking up. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt the wound on the back of my hand tight and the pain was jumping.

If the wound heals and gradually grows new flesh, it should be slightly itchy. It seems that the injury is serious again. I peeled off the tape and saw that the back of my hand became slightly purple. I had already given antibiotics. It should not be an infection. However, the wound seemed to be a little wider than at the beginning. I had to change the medicine myself and bandage the back of my hand again. I thought about whether it was the knife-toothed piranha who ate the "water bee" in the human figurines and stained the "toxicity" on me. Thinking of the disgusting part of the "surgery", I couldn't help but get up and down. I had to try my best to think about it and cheer up my vigil.

But then I thought about it and felt more and more worried. I was afraid that my hand would not be able to be saved. If a few insects really crawled out of it, I would rather cut off the hand in advance. After a long period of ideological struggle, I had to wake up Shirley Yang who had just fallen asleep and ask her to help see if I was "poisoned".

After seeing it, Shirley Yang found some pills for me and comforted me that this was just a normal phenomenon of wound healing after being bitten by a fish, and there was no need to worry too much, including nightmares at night, which was caused by the growth of new meat in the wound. As long as you protect it and don’t get infected again, it doesn’t matter.

Then I let go of my hanging heart. Finally, until dawn, the three of them set out toward the destination as planned, preparing to find the place marked with the "toad" in the valley to see if they could find the secret path through the mountain miasma. However, this "King of Xian" has been operating for many years and has been arranged very carefully. Even if there is a secret path that passes through the barrier on the ground, I am afraid this secret path is not so easy to walk on.

The plants in the "Insect Valley" are far more dense than in the jungle, so they are not wide. They pass through the two huge meteorites in front of the valley and advance along the snake stream to the depths of the valley. As the terrain gradually declines, there are more and more canes. Clusters of vines cover all the stream water, and countless kinds of mountain walls on both sides are hung with a wide range of small plants, hanging on the radish on the hillside. Many plants are often seen growing together, like colorful sky gardens.

Due to the narrow terrain, the competition for living space here is particularly fierce. In order to obtain enough light, various plants have expanded from above to outside the valley, so the terrain in the valley cannot be seen from the high places.

The environment was extremely humid and stuffy. Within our eyes, we were full of rich green. After a long time, our eyes felt bright. In order to move forward in the high-density plant clusters, the fat man had to use engineer shovels to open the way in front. Shirley Yang and I followed closely behind, struggling to move forward in the valley where mosquitoes and old vines were raging.

Compared with the obstacles of vines, the biggest trouble comes from mosquitoes in the dark valley. There are at least a dozen species of vampires in the jungle, rushing towards people regardless of their lives. We had to pound the garlic and airplane grass we carried with us into juice and rub it on exposed parts of our bodies. Fortunately, the owner of Caiyun Inn gave us some mosquito-proof water specially made by locals, which can also play a certain role. Even if there are these mosquito repellent things, they are still bitten a few times. The biting place immediately red and swollen, becoming hard, and the tentacles hurt, as if they have a powder tumor.

Shirley Yang said thanks to God, these mosquitoes are not big and not very toxic. After all, this is not a tropical rainforest. The poisonous mosquitoes in the Amazon rainforest are the real blood-sucking demons in the jungle, and they are very poisonous. However, those toxic and violent mosquitoes are afraid of garlic. This weakness coincides with the vampires in the legendary European legend.

The dense plants in the valley are not beyond our expectations. Although when the "Tomb of King Xian" was built, there should have been a "shindu" leading to Minglou, and all the materials had to be transported into it, it has been two thousand years since then. In such a long time, earth-shaking changes may occur in the valley. When the tomb of King Xian was built, the vegetation layer was cut down and grew again, covering and eroding the remains of the "shindu".

However, it can still be seen that as he continues to deepen, there are more and more traces of artificial buildings. Some collapsed stone statues and stone people are exposed on the ground from time to time. These are stone sculptures on both sides of the tomb of the King of the King. It can be seen that the tomb of King Xian, like other tombs, have specially established the "shendao" in front of the tomb for future generations to go to Minglou to worship. However, King Xian probably did not expect that less than seven or eight years after his death, his territorial subjects, including his hometown, the ancient Dian Kingdom, were included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. The royal tomb that spent a lot of manpower and material resources to make great efforts to manage and build can only stay in the depths of this dark valley and be sealed in the corner of history forever. Only we "gold-touching lieutenants" who fought back would come to visit him regardless of difficulties and obstacles.

After walking through layers of plant belts, after walking for three or four hours, I finally found a ruin of a broken wall in front. This is the legendary first embankment wall. Now there is only a rammed earth stone platform that is more than three meters thick and two meters high. It is also covered with weeds. There are only some places where green stones are exposed, and there are no plants growing. Since there is only a small section left, it looks more like a green mound, like a mound of a tomb mound, mixed between the jungles in the deep valleys. If it weren't for Shirley Yang's sharp eyes, we would have passed by here.

In order to further confirm whether the broken wall covered by plants is the standard embankment wall on the human skin map, the fat man used a mountaineering pick to chisel the broken wall a few times, trying to scrape off the weeds and green moss on the surface. Unexpectedly, this knock didn't matter. Hundreds of small tree lizards "swoosh" out of the broken gap. These green little guys have the same body color as the plants in the jungle, only their eyes and tongue are blood-red, the size of fingers. The tree lizards usually hide in the cracks of the broken wall. At this time, they were alarmed and escaped from the rammed earth pile and jumped around.

The fat man was also startled by them, and he took the hiking picks and engineers to shoot randomly, and shot many small tree lizards into meat pies.

Shirley Yang held the fat man's hand and asked him to stop: "These small tree lizards do not hurt people. They only eat mosquitoes on weekdays, so why don't you get along with them?"
