Encountering living people in the underground river really felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and I felt inexplicably excited. They are two men and one woman. Fan Qiuyi, who is wearing a pair of glasses and looks very elegant, is in his forties and is a professor at Northwest University. Another young man with dark skin and a simple face is named Yan Xinyi. Both the lively and lovely Tian Wenya are students of Professor Fan.
Their scientific expedition team originally consisted of seven people. The other four were from Sichuan and Gansu and entered the Nalengrad Gorge three days ago. That night, they were attacked by a wild bear and seven people abandoned the camp and fled. As a result, the four people accidentally fell into an underground river. Although the three of them survived at that time, just half an hour ago, they accidentally stepped into a trap and fell one after another. Fortunately, the space in this section of the river is relatively low, less than three meters, and the river bottom has deep silt, so no one was injured.
However, the three of them were quite embarrassed, because the river dried up when they fell, and the mud on their bodies was not washed away by the river. The three of them looked like three mud monkeys. Professor Fan and Yan Xinyi didn't like to talk very much, while Tian Wenya was lively and talkative. She got acquainted with Shen Bing without even saying a few words. The two of them were like sisters they hadn't seen for many years, and they were very affectionate.
The three of them asked about our origins, and I couldn't help but wink at Shen Bing, telling her not to speak and let me speak. Who knew that this girl would mistakenly think that she was asked to speak.
"His name is Xi Feng. He is a famous supernatural master in the north. I am his assistant, haha."
Khan, originally we didn’t want the other party to know our true identity, because those who engage in science absolutely look down on our “foolish” Mr. Yin and Yang, but Shen Bing finally changed his mind and plastered our faces, claiming to be a master of supernatural beings. In fact, this In their eyes, this title is still Mr. Yin Yang.
Sure enough, Fan Qiuyi and Yan Xinyi looked a little weird. Tian Wenya stuck out her tongue and said, "Supernatural master, have you ever encountered a ghost?"
"Ghosts... we see each other every day." Shen Bing said with a smile.
Tian Wenya chuckled: "Sister Shen is so funny, she talks like a Dabao."
I said to myself, little girl, do you think Shen Bing is really joking with you? We have four ghosts with us now, and they will scare you to death if we let them out.
Fan Qiuyi and Yan Xinyi's expressions were solemn. They were very different from when they first saw us. I didn't say anything more and pointed to the big rock over there. There was a place to rest there, which was better than soaking in the mud. So the three of us followed us, stepping on the mud more than a foot thick, back to the boulder.
At this time, Tongxuan had just woken up. He seemed to be much more alert, but he still looked frightened and trembling all over. He lowered his head and did not dare to make eye contact with us.
There was just enough room for the six of us to sit on the big rock. Shen Bing took out the only two bottles of water left from his bag and handed them to the three intellectuals. Yan Xinyi and Tian Wenya respected the teacher and respectfully handed a bottle to Fan Qiuyi. They unscrewed the bottle of water and took turns to drink it. They were given food again, and except for Fan Qiuyi, the two young men devoured it. It seemed that they had just been running for their lives in the past three days and had not eaten anything.
I didn't care about the three of them in front of me, stared at Tongxuan and asked: "Why are you brothers here, and how did the two brothers Tong Jue and Tong Wu die?"
When Tongxuan heard me mention his two senior brothers, the muscles on his face twitched violently, and he showed a look of extreme fear. He raised his head for a while and then said in a trembling voice: "Elder brother later found some clues in the secret cave of Sanmao Patriarch, so he took us to Kunlun Mountain to find a treasure that had been missing for many years. Who knew that when we entered this valley, we met a man that night? It was a terrifying evil spirit, just like a devil. The two senior brothers were scared to death on the spot. I was the only one who ran away. Later, I was confused and didn’t know what happened until now.”
Teacher and student Fan Qiuyi had just finished eating. When they heard Tongxuan's words, except for Tian Wenya who had panic on her face, the other two had expressions of disbelief. In their eyes, there are no ghosts in this world. Those are all lies made up by the deceitful Mr. Yin and Yang like us.
"Devil?" Shen Bing's eyes widened.
I touched my nose and realized how terrifying the devil he was talking about could be. It actually scared Maoshan Taoist priest to death. This was somewhat absurd. So I asked him what the devil looked like. The kid's eyes immediately stared like bells, his body trembled, and he couldn't say anything.
Looking at his cowardly look, I really want to slap him twice. He has been practicing Maoshan Taoism since he was a child. No matter how scary the ghost is, he is still a ghost, but he is so scared that he behaves like this
"Is it the big white flower that vomited corpses?" Shen Bing asked, covering her mouth.
"Stop asking, it's too... too scary." Tongxuan said, covering his face with his hands, trembling uncontrollably.
Tian Wenya asked Shen Bing curiously: "Sister Shen, what's the big white flower that vomited corpses?"
Shen Bing slapped his leg and said, "Yes, the bumpkin said just now that there are still people alive among the corpses spit out by the big white flower. Maybe your companions are in its belly."
Fan Qiuyi had always looked cold and didn't speak much, but now he hurriedly asked: "Where is that white flower? Take us there quickly."
"It's not far ahead." Shen Bing pointed forward.
"Xiaoxin, Wenwen, let's go over and take a look. Maybe we can find the four of them." Fan Qiuyi said and slid down the boulder.
I had no intention of going back to that terrifying pool, but the three teachers and students insisted on finding the whereabouts of their companions, and they couldn't bear it if they didn't care whether they lived or died. I had no choice but to accompany them for a walk, just in time to go back and see the evil-filled cave that Lin Mengxi mentioned.
Tongxuan was so frightened that he refused to leave the big rock no matter what. We had no choice but to pick up Wei Ziling and follow the three scientific expedition members back.
Tian Wenya had been curious about the unconscious child for a long time, but she had been holding back and said nothing. When she walked to the pool, she seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and asked Shen Bing: "Why are you still taking the child with you when you run so far?" His face turned pale. Great, are you sick?"
I was afraid that Shen Bing would tell the truth again, so I said first, "He's fine, but he was a little frightened last night and didn't sleep all night. He's sleeping very deeply now."
As we talked, we climbed up to the shore of the pool and took a look inside. There were many broken rocks sticking out of the mud at the bottom of the pool. Perhaps due to being beaten by stone pillars, several corpses were squeezed out, exposing their heads, hands and feet. Under the light, it looked extremely desolate and terrifying.
Tian Wenya covered her mouth and looked down in surprise. With sharp eyes, Yan Xinyi pointed at a corpse on the edge of a broken column and shouted: "Professor, look, that looks like Professor Zhong from Sichuan University!"
Fan Qiuyi was taken aback and quickly borrowed a bright flashlight from me. After looking at it carefully, he nodded and said, "It's him. Let's go down and rescue him."
