Zhang Ling denies that the magnet is the key to open the door of hell. The reason is simple. She thinks that the wax figure in Jumi is not a devil. The one who really calls the devil should be the beautiful woman who turns the villagers into mummy or the water ape. .
Although Zhang Ling's words are reasonable, there are a lot of puzzling and suspicious things when you think about it. Just when I was about to continue the discussion with her, Wu Zhengping called.
I am busy with the satellite phone.
"Have you reached the top of the mountain?" Wu Zhengping's voice was dull, as if he was in a closed space.
"Here. As you said, there is water on the top of the mountain, and it's still a lake."
"What did you find?"
"Not yet, we are going to go into the water tomorrow. However, we met a stranger on the mountain. He knew the old lady without feet and said that he gave the old lady without feet..."
I succinctly explained the experience of encountering the old man surnamed Wang. After Wu Zhengping pondered for a long time, he said: "The strange people and strangers who appeared on the top of the mountain must have a lot of origin."
I subconsciously nodded and said, "He said very clearly that the water apes are in the lake, but he suggested that we don't provoke them. If you want to find the Qiqiao Linglongxin, let's go with the flow."
"Then you go down the mountain tomorrow."
I was surprised and asked, "Why? Didn't you look for the ginseng ape?"
"It takes chance to meet strange people and strangers, and it is a blessing to be able to get their guidance."
"If I don't find the ginseng ape, I won't get Qiqiao Linglong Xin, then I am not waiting to die!"
Wu Zhengping coughed a few times and said, "You should go down the mountain first. I have some discoveries here. The lake can't run away from the top of the mountain."
I just wanted to ask Wu Zhengping what he found. Zhang Ling suddenly pointed to the lake and said, "Look, what is that!"
I immediately raised my head and looked at the lake. At this time, the moon had been blocked by clouds. The fog on the lake was gray, like a big smoke bubble on a wasteland or a bath in winter. It was dim. Several small shadows appeared in the mist. Take a look. It seems like there is, and if you look at it again, it seems like there is no...
They were slowly approaching the shore, as if as many as seven or eight, their arms drooping, like sculptures walking in the water, very strange.
Wu Zhengping's anxious questions kept coming from the satellite phone: "What happened? What happened!"
But I didn’t have time to answer him,
Because the monsters appearing on the lake are getting closer and closer to us, the reason they look a little short is because half of their bodies are in the water. When they get closer, I can see their appearance clearly.
Their foreheads are protruding, their eye sockets are deep, their noses are collapsed and flat, but their nostrils are large. Under their noses are sharp teeth and mouths, and they have dark brown hair, as if they were wearing a wet fur coat.
It's the Sanshui Ape who appeared!
Wu Zhengping's voice has disappeared from the satellite phone, and it sounds like a "stabbing stabbing" sound due to electromagnetic interference, making me realize that the danger is approaching.
Zhao Mingli was only taken a look at the water ape, and then he lost consciousness and drew it over. Zhang Ling and I had no magic and kung fu, how to fight against them, how to catch them for heart
It seems that my desire to get the Qiqiao Linglongxin is too urgent, but I have ignored the most fundamental reason: we are not the opponents of the water apes. If we can't subdue them, wanting to get the Qiqiao Linglongxin will not only be a delusion, but will also lead to death.
I swallowed and spit, and asked in a low voice, "What should I do?"
Zhang Ling looked very calm, and said, "Look at it and talk about it."
The ginseng ape approached the lake, but did not go ashore but stopped in the water. One of the ginseng apes raised his arm and opened his hand to me, and then made a low "moo" sound.
What does he mean
Just when I was puzzled, the ginseng water apes had already landed. At this moment, I could see their two flat legs and feet like fish tails. The ginseng ape that came ashore walked like a duck, but the coming was very fierce.
"Go!" Zhang Ling exclaimed, then turned and ran towards the cliff behind him.
I was so shocked that the three souls were missing seven souls, and immediately followed Zhang Ling. After running a few steps, I looked back unwillingly. I wanted to catch two ginseng water apes and get Qiqiao Lingling’s heart, but I didn’t expect to be involved. If the water ape is chasing after it, if it really falls into their hands, it will really become a steal, and lose the wife and break the army.
The moment I looked back at the Sanshui Ape, I saw that light appeared in the deep sunken eye sockets of the Sanshui Ape, and then the whole body was shocked. At that moment, a tingling sensation spread rapidly, as if by tens of thousands. The ants gnawed, and at the same time, felt that their minds were blank.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" I let out a scream, then twitched all over my body and fell straight down.
In a trance, I heard Zhang Ling's call, but soon lost consciousness.
I don't know too much
After a long time, I woke up again, with the whistling wind in my ears, the cold snow under me, the bright starry sky above my head, and the whiteness all around me.
Zhang Ling's face appeared in my sight, and she said with concern: "You finally woke up, how do you feel?"
My limbs were sore and weak, and I said, "It's okay." I looked up to the mountain. The top of Xuefeng was no longer visible. It was Zhang Ling who dragged me down from the top of the mountain and escaped.
I asked: "Where is the ginseng ape? We weren't caught?"
"No, just a little bit. But our equipment was all left on the mountain."
"Is the magnet lost too?"
Zhang Ling patted his pocket and said, "No. But there are only magnets left."
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as the magnet is there, we won't be in vain."
Zhang Ling nodded and asked, "Can you stand up?"
"can."
I tried to get up while speaking, but my body was so numb that I couldn't exert any strength. Zhang Ling had to help me up and said: "Hold on, you can't stay here for a long time, you must hurry down the mountain, or we will be frozen to death."
Being helped by Zhang Ling to walk down the mountain, I kept looking around and asked: "Is the Shenshui Ape not chasing us?"
"They seemed to be afraid of the cold, and gave up after chasing for a while."
I was grateful and said, "Thank you for not leaving me on the mountain. You saved me again."
Zhang Ling said generously: "We are a team, it would be too polite to say thank you."
I smiled bitterly and said: "It is my blessing to have teammates like you. However, can you tell me the truth, is it true that you followed me to Lop Nur because of hobbies and adventures?"
"Why do you ask?"
"You are a private investigator, but you know too much about various folklore and weird things. If you haven't worked hard to study it, you can't know so much."
"I said, I have been interested in weird things since I was a child."
"This kind of argument is too far-fetched. If you are just interested and loving, you won't know so many archaeological experts and professors, and those experts and professors are all in Beijing. You have so many connections in the mountains, why do you want to open in the small Manjiang? Detective agency. If the above points are not absolute, but one thing, it can definitely show that your identity is definitely not just a private detective."
Zhang Ling looked at me with interest and asked, "Which point?"
