Savage Secret

() My name is Du Tieyan, from Chongqing Wushan County.When Wushan is mentioned, everyone will think of the romantic story between the famous beautiful man Song Yu and the goddess "Wushan's wife" in ancient times, and Yuan Zhen's famous sentence "Once the sea was too difficult to be water, except Wushan is not a cloud!".Indeed, Sichuan is very foggy, and Wushan hides in the undulating blue clouds and winding fairy mist most of the time, always shy like a budding girl, and it is precisely because of this that it has caused countless boring sao customers Good imagination.

If Wushan gives people a kind of beautiful association and countless love impulses, then Shennongjia, which borders Wushan, gives people another feeling: it is gorgeous with strangeness and deep with mystery , The strange show also contains surprises and infinite murderous intentions, such as dinosaurs, savages, rare birds and animals, ghosts, dragons, aliens, etc. that are spread in our local area. These legends make everyone who wants to get close to it feel scruples.

I grew up in Wushan County, but according to my grandfather Du Lin, my family was not from Wushan County, but moved out of Shennongjia!

Du Lin used to live in Shennongjia, surrounded by mountains and forests, and neighbors with birds and beasts all day long, living the rural life of Tao Yuanming, Wang Wei and others. From the outsiders' point of view, the days are quite good: Nongfu Spring is still alive. A little field!What a mouth watering experience.But whose family is difficult, who knows, living in the mountains naturally has the helplessness of living in the mountains. The ancestors of Du Lin did not live here willingly, but were forced to go in. There is an idiom called "tyranny is fiercer than "Tiger", as soon as the word is said, you will understand that our ancestors fled to Shennongjia because of life or war.The ancestors escaped and found a quiet place for the descendants, which is good in theory, but living in the deep mountains is inconvenient and isolated from the world, and you have to constantly guard against the sneak attacks of snakes, insects and beasts in the mountains, life is always a bit scary .

Du Lin is an honest hunter who grew up in the Shennongjia Mountains. He used to be a good hunter. He has the bravery and toughness of a mountain hunter all over his body, but what makes people feel more is the simplicity and simplicity of the mountain people in him. Practical.He has never been out of the mountains and forests, and he doesn't know much about the outside world. He only knows how to hunt, gather some mountain products, and grow some land to live his own life. Very happy, who said that happiness must be measured by money?

Just to make a statement, I said that this was decades ago, definitely not now. Now Shennongjia has long been a tourist attraction. Most of the mountain people have been brainwashed by the reform and opening up and the market economy. There is still a little bit of it. The realness of the mountain people.Although some people still have the appearance of people from the mountains, they have been corrupted by money. They think about how to kill the tourists all day long. At first, the tourists who went outside thought that they were stupid than pigs. It was only later that I realized that he was actually smarter than a monkey, and it was too late to regret it.

Decades ago, Shennongjia was basically isolated from the outside world, and few outsiders entered. This has something to do with the political and cultural trends in ancient times.Confucius climbed Mount Tai and made the world small, but it is never heard that he went to Shennongjia to make the world small; the ancient kings all went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, and they did not go to Shennongjia to enshrine anything.Firstly, because Shennongjia is located in a remote place, it is impossible for the emperors to travel thousands of miles there; secondly, the mountain road is difficult to climb to the sky, and the emperors only want to live forever and enjoy the wealth and honor in the world, and do not want to go to the sky too early; the most important thing is: Most of the people living in Shennongjia are ethnic minorities, and each ethnic minority has its own traditional culture. Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism do not work among ethnic minorities, and the culture of ethnic minorities does not represent the mainstream of society.

For various reasons, Shennongjia has not been disturbed by outsiders for a long period of time, and has preserved its own characteristics.There are advantages and disadvantages. Shennongjia is too closed. Before the 80s, the hills on it did not have fixed names. Now, most of the imaginative names on the peaks are from the local government after the reform and opening up. The name is only given for publicity or inspection needs.

The topic is far away, Shennongjia is different from other mountain forests, it is a primeval forest, in this ancient forest, it can be said that there are all kinds of strange legends, because the primeval forest can always make people remember what happened around them, They are all associated with those ancient and mysterious legends.Even now, when people hear that I live not far from Shennongjia, they often ask me if there are savages in Shennongjia.This is not surprising, it should be regarded as a local characteristic, just like talking about witchcraft when talking about Miao people, and exorcising corpses when talking about Xiangxi. It can arouse people's unlimited interest.

In fact, for farmers living near Shennongjia, they don’t know how much they have experienced that kind of unclear things, but no one takes it too seriously, because as long as they don’t enter the depths of Shennongjia, those unclean things Children generally do not take the initiative to find people.

This is not to say that the village where Du Lin lived was very quiet. If he lived in the mountains, it was inevitable that he would see some wild beasts running down from the mountains.Usually, the ones that come into the village to disturb people are a few monkeys or roe deer. They pose no threat to us, and we don't bother to pay attention to them.Having said that, I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. Finally, one day, something happened that forced Du Lin to leave Shennongjia.

Not far from the plug where Du Lin lived, there is a pile of rocks. On the pile of rocks is a main peak of Shennongjia. It should be Shennong Peak, because at that time, the peaks on Shennongjia had no names. The map probably guesses.The pile of rocks is closely adjacent to Shennong Peak, but it is a fool's dream to climb to the top, because there is a cliff more than a hundred feet high.This cliff is as straight as a knife, and the sky meets the clouds. It is often covered by a layer of light clouds, making it difficult to see what it looks like above.Right here, every once in a while, people will fall from above, so people nearby call this place Falling Corpse Cliff.

According to the old people in the village, the corpse cliff has a long history. Some daring hunters nearby wanted to go up to see what happened, but the final result was: not long after, they also fell from there.

The people who fell from the corpse cliff seem to have fought fiercely with some monsters before they were alive, and they usually bear the marks of being bitten, some have their throats bitten off, some have their chests torn open, or Some of them were pierced through the body by magical powers such as Jiuyin and white bone claws. In short, they were already half dead before they fell. These half dead people fell from a height of more than a hundred feet to the boulder pile below. There must be no way out. Yes, and it will fall badly. The good-looking ones are beyond recognition and the bones are shattered, and the ugly ones are brains bursting, intestines being broken and bleeding, which is horrible.Everything is indescribably weird, which makes people living in this mountain forest a little more afraid of Shennong Peak.

This kind of paradoxical thing has been going on for a long time, and there are many rumors: some people say that they once saw tall mountain gods clad in silver jumping, celebrating, and offering sacrifices on the cliffs on a night with a bright moon and few stars; Some people say that there are devil-like aliens in Shennongjia. The aliens are afraid that others will know their secrets, so they kill the people who enter Shennongjia and throw them down; He placed a large amount of treasure, but he couldn't take it away because he was in a hurry to go to heaven, so he entrusted the savage to guard it. The savage didn't want outsiders to discover these treasures, so he did so.Legends are legends. No one has seen any aliens, no one has seen mountain gods, and no one has seen savages. Everyone has lived around Shennongjia all their lives, and no one knows what the depths of Shennongjia look like, and what is there inside? There are no dragons, aliens or monsters.

The villagers in the various villages passed word of mouth, and it became a custom, saying that the treasure of Shennong Peak was bestowed by the gods on the mountain gods in the mountain, and no one was allowed to make plans for it, otherwise Falling Corpse Cliff would be his grave.With these rumors and factual examples, the nearby mountain people are even more afraid of Shennong Peak, and they generally dare not enter Shennong Peak. Even those bold hunters only dare to wander around Shennong Peak, and never dare to go deep into Shennong Peak. half a step.

But there are always those who are unwilling to be lonely, unable to resist the temptation of the treasure legend in Shennongjia, in the name of scientific research or adventure, want to go in and see what happened, uncover the mystery of Shennongjia, and make a fortune by the way .However, these people either never returned, or fell from the corpse cliff, and occasionally one or two were lucky enough to come back alive. They kept struggling and shaking, as if they were in unbearable pain, and then it became more serious. They became black and blue, their bodies kept twitching, foaming at the mouth, and finally died in the painful torture.

With so many bloody experiences and lessons, the nearby mountain people will only go to the Falling Corpse Cliff when people in the village are missing, to see if their missing relatives violated the ancestral precepts because of greed Entering Shennong Peak, he was thrown down after being discovered by the mountain god.If there is, you should sincerely confess your mistake to the mountain god who guards Shennongjia, and then take the body away.After returning home, ask the wizard to do a few ceremonies to purify the bodies and minds of those who have passed away, and drive away the fox fairy ghosts who lured them into Shennongjia; pray again, praying that they will go well all the way to another The world should take good care of itself, and don't come back when you have nothing to do... Even if you want to come back, don't choose to come back when ghosts are screaming in the middle of the night...then bury them at the end.

Later, when the mountain people saw the desolate death of their own kind, and after death, they would be pecked by birds and insects, and suffered from the wind and the sun, they spontaneously organized to find all the people who fell from the corpse cliff. buried somewhere.This is a manifestation of the simplicity of the local people, simplicity is simplicity, but this is not something that ordinary people can do.As I said before, most of the people who fell off the corpse cliff were bitten by wild beasts, and it was even more horrible after they fell. Some of them had their heads on the side, and some of their intestines were all over the ground. The timid people would be scared at a glance Die, let alone collect their corpses.

Du Lin was not afraid. He felt that these people had died because of a single mistake, and they should be buried in the ground after death, so he took the initiative to take on this responsibility!For this reason, he deliberately left the whole family in the cottage, and moved to live in a wooden house on the edge of Shennongjia who did not know when he stayed. time to run.In those years, he did not know how many people were buried in the soil, and he made a lot of merit. Although this is a good deed, but if there are too many good deeds, some accidents will inevitably happen.

That day, as usual, Du Lin went to the cliff of falling corpses to help people collect the corpses. After arriving at the cliff of falling corpses, he was immediately surprised: there were as many as five or six corpses that fell that day.Du Lin looked at these people carefully: no matter they were men or women, they were all fair-skinned and well-dressed. They didn't look like people who came out of the wind or rain to rely on mountains and eat mountains. They were probably students or people from the city. According to the color of their bodies, the time when several people fell off the cliff should be about the same. Du Lin is almost sure that these people are on the same road, and that they were discovered by the guardian god of Shennongjia after they entered Shennongjia , and threw them down one by one.

Du Lin sighed, and after softly reciting a local burial song for saving dead souls, he was about to start to collect the corpses. At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange roar above his head.Then, there was a shrill scream accompanied by a struggling body falling from above.

After the sound of "Bang!", the man fell heavily on a corpse in front of Du Lin, smashing the corpse below to splatter blood and blood, and he himself was limp like a piece of dough, spitting blood with his eyes straight.Although Du Lin often collected corpses for others, this was the first time he saw someone fall in front of him. Although he was brave, he was still dumbfounded and speechless. In the cloud and mist, a tall figure screamed and disappeared in a flash.

"Mountain God?" Du Lin murmured, his legs softened, and he almost didn't kneel down.

"Hmm!" The person who fell didn't seem to die immediately, but was still moving slightly, making a slight groan.Du Lin came back to his senses, and hurried to the front, hoping to help him one last time.

Du Lin found that the man was around fifty, with gray and thinning hair thrown back, and a pair of large black-rimmed glasses on his face, he could tell he was a scholar.Judging by his clothes and appearance, he may be a man of some status. There are obvious marks of being scratched and bitten on his neck and body. There was blood on the outside.Every time the old man took a breath and moved lightly, the blood would rush out...

The old man twisted his body slowly, looked around, and looked at Du Lin again, as if he understood something, his eyes revealed the final desolation and despair.

"Fellow townspeople, why did you come here for Scattering!" Du Lin squatted in front of the old man, looking at his painful expression and distorted body, with an expression of anxiety and helplessness. Although he wanted to help, he didn't know where to start. .

Seeing the frightened, worried and kind expression on Du Lin's face, the old man seemed to feel that Du Lin was not a bad person, so he slowly hooked his fingers to Du Lin, motioning him to come closer.

Du Lin was stunned for a moment: Falling off a cliff more than [-] feet away, not to mention a person underneath, even a cow on the head, will also cause dislocation of tendons and veins, rupture of internal organs, and severe bleeding in the body. If you live a little longer, that means more After suffering for a while, what does it mean for the old man to wave to himself?Do you want yourself to help him have a good time!Over the years, although Du Lin had dealt with dead people a lot, but he, who had always thought he was daring, stepped back when asked him to kill someone.

The old man looked at Du Lin, and pointed to his trouser pocket with difficulty. Du Lin thought he was about to say something, so he hurried over and put his hand into his trouser pocket, and took out a notebook with difficulty. At that time, Du Lin could almost hear the sound of the old man's bones breaking.

The old man looked at the notebook, forced a smile to Du Lin, and said to Du Lin with a trembling voice, "I have devoted all my life's research effort to this, you want, you want..." The old man was talking, and suddenly coughed out a few words. There was blood in the mouth, and then the throat seemed to be choked, and the body writhed in pain.

"Hey, fellow, fellow!" Du Lin shouted at the old man.

The look in the old man's eyes has gradually dimmed!

Seeing the old man die in front of him, Du Lin angrily threw the notebook in his hand to the ground, and shouted at his corpse: "Research, study, you study a bitch, don't hug him well at home." I want to live with my baby, but I ran to Shennongjia to die..." No matter how Du Lin lost his temper and scolded him, it was impossible for the old man to hear him again.Du Lin scolded for a long time, and felt that it was boring, so he simply sat down on the rock behind him, and took out the dry pipe from his waist.
