After just a little hesitation, Gao Ning and I stepped onto the bluestone stairs. In my heart, I was a little resistant to Gao Ning's approach. Why didn't he explain everything to me clearly at once, instead of squeezing out toothpaste? I asked him Answer, or just ask me to watch it myself.
Looking back, maybe things are too weird. Even if I am a Taoist priest, I may not be able to accept these things. Gao Ning is afraid that I will not take risks with him, so he simply remains mysterious and leads me to cooperate with him step by step.
After all, hadn’t I rejected him before
The bluestone stairs are not too long. Gao Ning and I walked for only five minutes before reaching the end. At the end was a corner, and I didn’t know what was behind the corner. The moment I stepped onto the corner, my heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat for some reason. I sped up, as if there was a strange aura suppressing me.
Gao Ning was unusually nervous. He took a deep breath, almost pulled me around the corner, and then covered my mouth.
I didn't understand what Gao Ning was doing, and I subconsciously wanted to struggle, but I didn't want to catch a glimpse of the scene behind the corner, and my eyes suddenly widened.
I think at this time, I should thank Gao Ning, who covered my mouth in time, otherwise I would have screamed, because the scene I see now is ten times more terrifying than what I saw in the deserted village. ! !
What did I see? Speaking of which, there is just the same small hall behind the corner. The furnishings in the hall are simple. There is a raised stone platform with some hay spread on it. The terrifying presence is on the hay.
insect! Purple bugs! I don’t want to lie, but if one day I tell this, I would rather people think it is a lie, because if it is a lie, at least the world will still look familiar to people, and people will not feel that the world is too mysterious and unfamiliar. sense of security.
That was the only thought in my mind when I actually looked at the bug.
What kind of insect is this? It was too much beyond my understanding. First of all, it was a weird purple color, and its entire length was almost more than 2 meters. The fluorescent purple was also mixed with some weird dead gray stripes. Those stripes were arranged in a row. It's so strange. When viewed separately, it looks like faces with different expressions. I can't see what the main body is because it's so big.
This is not important. The important thing is that I don’t know what this insect is. It obviously has a pair of wings similar to those of a moth, but its body is like an arthropod insect, just like a centipede. The entire insect head is ferocious and terrifying, which is the most uncomfortable. What's most striking is the insect's eyes, which have strange eyelids. They are closed at this time. I'm afraid that if it opens, I will see a pair of eyes similar to those of a human.
In addition, the legs of this insect, I don’t know if they can be called legs. It is said that its body is like a centipede, and it has many legs like a centipede, but it only has two very strange legs, some on the back of its head. Position, how I see and think about the two outstretched arms of a person.
No matter how specific it is hidden under its wings, I can't see clearly.
But if it were just a bug, it wouldn't make me feel so frightened. What frightened me was another situation, the people in this small hall.
There are many people in this small hall, many skinny people, no less than 1,000 people. A dozen of them are in something similar to a silkworm cocoon, with only one head exposed and their eyes closed. I don’t know whether they are sleeping or sleeping. Comatose.
The other ones were under the wings of the insect, some with a pair of feet exposed, and some with a head exposed. I couldn't see what was going on under the wings, but those exposed heads all had expressions of fear, and those People in the cocoon, you will only think that they are skinny and skinny, but you can clearly feel that the people under the wings are shriveled, even shriveled than the old man Boche.
Why does this situation feel so scary? That's because it's a kind of sad feeling that a rabbit has died and a fox has died. After all, the people in front of me are the same kind of people. It actually feels like they have been made into insect feed. Looking at the scene in front of me, my fists are clenched tighter and tighter, and I have an indescribable impulse. , want to destroy everything here.
In this village, my blood was taken from me, and the woman I liked was oppressed. I chose to endure it all. I knew that Ling Ruxue and I couldn't possibly go against an evil village. It was just a matter of death. We had to wait for the opportunity, or Is he waiting for his uncle to come to rescue him, or to escape by himself, and then solve everything in this village.
This may be the price of maturity, choosing appropriate retreat.
But at this moment, I put aside all the avoidance and forbearance. I had a desperate urge to reveal my trump card. Do I really think that I, a Taoist, are vegetarians? If I leave like this, I will feel the despair of those sleeping in the cocoons tearing me apart, and I will have trouble sleeping and eating in the days to come.
"Don't be impulsive. They are already insect-men. They are hopeless and no longer human." At this moment, Gao Ning suddenly said to me in my ear.
I pulled away Gao Ning's hand covering my mouth, stared at Gao Ning angrily, almost gritting his teeth, and then said: "What do you know? If you don't tell me everything, I would rather die." I won’t cooperate with you! And why do you have to pester me to cooperate with you?”
This is a question I have had for a long time, and I can no longer hold it back at this moment.
Gao Ning lowered his head and whispered to me: "I will find a way to tell you when I go back, but this is definitely not the place to talk. Just look." After saying that, he pointed to the bottom of the insect's belly. When I looked up, I felt creepy. .
It turned out that there was a pit under the insect's belly, and there was a person sleeping in the pit. His whole body was soaked in a strange liquid, as if there was something connected to the insect's body.
I couldn't see clearly what kind of person he was, but looking at it from a distance, I felt very powerless. Gao Ning whispered to me in my ear: "This is the oldest monster in this village. If If he wakes up, what do you think will be the consequences?"
What are the consequences? I almost didn't have to think about it, I felt scared. I didn't know why I was scared, afraid of this person sleeping under the belly of the worm.
"Then what about the chance of escape? Are you lying to me?" Everything in this village feels so weird and terrifying, and my life is hanging by a thread. On certain issues, I am very practical. If I don't die, Now, how can we talk about saving those poor people
After Gao Ning heard my question, he took me carefully to a corner of the small hall. From the angle of this corner, I could see the back of this scary bug. Only then did I notice that there was a small hole in the back of the bug. .
"You can climb out from that hole." Gao Ning whispered to me.
"How do you know?" Go around the bug and crawl out from behind it? When I think of such a scene, my scalp feels numb.
In addition, I don’t believe Gao Ning has ever had such an experience!
Gao Ning whispered to me in a mysterious and weird voice: "This is how my grandma escaped back then. You believe me."
﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡The dividing line of adventure﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, Gao Ning and I finally climbed out of the hole, and then struggled to put the lid back on. However, we did not rush out, but squatted in the tomb. Gao Ning said that at 9 When clicking, there will be a 10-minute gap, and we can use that gap to go out.
All I can do now is wait, but I have a request, that is, let Gao Ning confess to me what I want to know, otherwise I will refuse to cooperate.
Gao Ning told me some things very directly, but of course that was not everything. He said that he must keep his secret, but he made me believe him. His secret was not something sinister, he was just doing it for himself.
I can understand people's selfishness, although I don't really understand why people who are not selfish are called stupid by others, and then in order to show that they are not stupid, people who are not selfish have to pretend to be selfish.
Could it be that, as Master said, things have their ups and downs, and humans cannot see the light without going through a certain extreme darkness
Of course, these are all nonsense, and I don’t want to think too much about it. Gao Ning and I lit up a cigarette each, he said, and I listened.
The biggest secret of this village lies in this deserted cemetery. In fact, this is not a deserted land. In this village, this is the place they call 'sublimation and rebirth'! Those who have passed the test will be able to live a long life, while those who have not passed the test will rot in this barren cemetery.
Therefore, the four passages in this tomb bag have countless branches, which are divided into each tomb bag. When the people in the tomb bag are resurrected, they will climb in along the passages, and then reach the so-called holy land in the heart of the mountain.
"Not everyone is qualified to be buried here in this stockade. They must be important people to hide in this holy land. That is their highest glory, no, not glory, it is the biggest reward." Gao Ning muttered He closed his eyes and said to me with a strange expression.
I felt chills in my heart. I was imagining that scene. I was supposed to be laid to rest, but then I woke up in the loess, ecstatic, and then crawled along the passage around me into a big grave, and then passed through A passage filled with vicious bloodthread moths, to meet another bug... .
If this is the resurrection, what am I going to do? I would rather die in peace!
But how many people in this world can resist the fear of death? How many people can refuse the temptation of living? This has always been the most taboo and most evasive heart disease for human beings. How many people think the same as me
I took a long drag on the cigarette, and then said with some bitterness: "There is a price for so-called resurrection, right? No one can get lifespan out of thin air, they are going against heaven!"
Gao Ning spat, and then said: "Who said it's not heaven-defying? Have you seen those villages outside? Have you seen those dirty, lazy, and desperate villagers? Maybe ten of them can exchange for one Resurrection of man.”
I suddenly crushed the cigarette in my hand.
