Indiana Jones

Chapter 336

After passing Lazi Mountain, they have really entered the depths of the mountain. There are many overlapping mountains and trees here. The mountains are so high that you can’t see the top when you look up. What you see in front of you is like a huge picture scroll.

"If you don't fight wars, this kind of place is definitely a good place to hide in the mountains and forests." Li Siming wiped off his sweat and looked at Qifeng Python Forest in a good mood.

"What's so interesting about a broken forest? People in the city always see strange things. Not to mention the difficult road, there are bugs and snakes everywhere. Walking this place for an hour is more tiring than walking on a flat road for a day." Zhao Chenggong said again. It's time to hit the enthusiasm of others.

"I don't know the charm, it's called picturesque scenery, green pines and cypresses and mountains, we may be rare guests for thousands of years." Li Siming pointed to a mountain and asked Dakui, "What kind of mountain is that?"

"Longtou Mountain, it is said that the mountain here was transformed by a flying dragon that descended from the sky. That is the position of the dragon's head. The dragon's head is in the middle and the dragon's body is coiled around." Dakui pointed to the farthest mountain and said, "That's the dragon head. Ningling, I can’t make it any further. I have been to Longwei Peak the deepest time, but it was very young, and I almost forgot it all. The place you are going to is Longbei Mountain. Hurry up If it’s a day and a half, if it’s slow, you can’t get there in two days. No one comes here all the year round. Only those who collect herbs will go through Longtoushan.

"At first glance, there is no temple in this place, and there is no road at all." Zhao Chenggong said.

"It is said that the temple was destroyed by an earthquake that year. There were several villages near the temple that were destroyed along with the temple. Since then, no one has lived in this deep mountain and old forest."

"If it is true that the temples of the Tang Dynasty have disappeared by now, I really don't know how they were built in the first place? It must have been more closed than this in those days." Fang Yuanshan said.

"It's not difficult to build a temple. You can use local materials. You can get what you want here, as long as there are people. If there were a village here, you can hire local people. There are still many people who don't need wages. Building temples is to do good deeds and accumulate virtue." Many people contributed their resources to the matter." The woodcutter said as he walked, "Even if the road was built back then, it would not be possible to keep it until now. After thousands of years, this kind of place has long been covered by trees."

"Why did people back then live in such deep mountains? Don't they find it awkward?" Dachun found it difficult to understand the behavior of ancient people.

"Actually, it's not what you think. People in ancient times could live without leaving the village. They worked and lived at sunrise. They went out to buy salt enough to last for a year. They also weaved their own clothes and farmed enough for a family. Eat, another reason is to avoid the chaos of war. In those days, even if you came to the mountains, you were separated from all the right and wrong of the outside world, and it was impossible for war to spread to the depths of the mountains." Fang Yuanshan spoke clearly and logically, as expected of a university major studying archeology and Historically, knowing is more.

"It's a blessing to live in this kind of bird place for a lifetime." Dachun shook his head.

"That year was not the present. There were cars and boats. Going out once was like eight layers of skin. Rich people could only rely on their left foot, while those without money could only rely on two legs. If you want to travel hundreds of miles, you have to go several months in advance. Many People will never return together, except for beasts that are so strong that they are trapped when they go the wrong way. In short, various reasons make people feel that it is very unsafe to go out, so many people have never left the village in their lives, so they live in this mountain. There is nothing unusual about building temples in this big mountain." Fang Yuanshan said as he walked, a little out of breath.

"Boy, are you teaching us?" Zhao Chenggong was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Fang Yuanshan was showing off his knowledge in front of him.

"I dare not, I know a little bit about this matter, if you are not interested, then I will not talk about it." Fang Yuanshan quickly explained.

"Go on, don't pay attention to him, you talk a lot." The woodcutter said, he has already started to defend this follower, of course Zhao Chenggong has no courage to refute what the woodcutter said, anyway the woodcutter is quite important in this team Important people, from another perspective, the woodcutter is also a senior, so naturally he has to give enough face when talking to his elders.

"In short, building the temple to such a place is causing trouble for us." Dachun's words can be regarded as expressing Zhao Chenggong's aspirations, and he is also complaining about this.

"Wouldn't it have been discovered by Japan a long time ago if it wasn't in this kind of place?" Li Siming said, "Everything has a good side. If such a temple really exists, it means that the rumors are true. Then we really have to find a way to let it go." The little devil pays the price."

"Actually, our purpose here is to deal with the little devil. Whether there is this temple or not, we have to make the little devil pay the price." The woodcutter said.

"That's right, in this land of China, it's superfluous for little devils to appear anywhere." Si Xuanyi said.

There was nothing to say all the way, and they arrived at Longtoushan in the evening. They could not go any further and had to find a place to rest. The jungle was full of smoke and smoke everywhere, so they could only find a shelter from the wind. The crowns of the trees are connected together to form a natural canopy-like roof. Branches are used to seal the gaps between the trees and clear out the middle, which can be regarded as a big shelter. Although a dozen people are a bit crowded inside, it is better than Much better to just stay in the woods.

Si Xuanyi also asked other people to help, and made a circle of curtains with tarpaulins, which was regarded as a good "enclosed wall".

Dakui made dinner, he is a very competent guide, tonight is a meal of mushrooms and wild vegetables, roe meat, yam and a lot of wild chestnuts stuffed under the fire, the food for the past two days is so good that they don't want to do it Going to touch the marching rations they brought, compared with the mouthful of game meat all day long, the standard rations of the US military seem to them to be no food.

"Da Kui, you should open a restaurant." If Zhao Chenggong hadn't been afraid of breaking his belly, he probably wouldn't have stopped talking.

"It's all taught by the elders. We eat this when we go hunting in the mountains. We've gotten used to it. It's because you eat less and feel fresh. We've had enough." Dakui shook his head as he looked at their food.

"It's the first time I've eaten roe deer meat. I didn't expect it to taste so good." Dachun also ate it with oily mouth.

"There are everything in this mountain, even if you eat it for several years, you won't get the same taste." Dakui picked out the chestnuts below, "This one is more delicious."

"Quiet..." Lin Feng gestured suddenly, then stood up and listened attentively. His actions aroused everyone's vigilance, and several of them had already raised their guns.

They vaguely heard a few gunshots, and they could hear the sound of three or eight gunshots at a considerable distance.

"In front." Lin Feng checked the direction and said, "At least three kilometers, it seems that there is only one gun."

"A ghost? Isn't it? Scattered?" Zhao Chenggong's repeated questions didn't get anyone's answer, because no one had an answer like everyone else.

"According to common sense, the distance between us and those devils is at least two days away, and it is impossible to be so close." Li Siming said.

In order to ensure safety, Secretary Xuanyi added guards. It would be a big trouble if devils accidentally ran over at such a short distance. Compared with wild beasts, they were more reluctant to encounter devils.

The strange thing is that this night is surprisingly quiet, the quietness is a bit creepy, as if all the beasts are hidden, there is a dangerous smell in the air, the atmosphere is a bit wrong, everyone is sleeping very alert, the gunshots make their hearts feel There was an inexplicable strangeness.

Si Xuanyi woke up just after midnight. He got up to check the guard. The people in charge of the sentry were very energetic and did not slack off at all. He did a good job in this aspect, especially Ye Feng's performance impressed him deeply. No matter when this guy is very alert, even if there is a slight disturbance while sleeping, he will be the first to respond. Second to Lin Feng, it's just that the time is short, and I don't know what is so special about this kid.

It was cooler in the mountains at night. Si Xuanyi added some firewood to the fire and went back to sleep. In the silent night, he couldn't hear anything except the occasional wind. When he came back, he saw Lin Feng opened his eyes and looked at him. He has been just closing his eyes and resting his mind all the time, and any trouble can't escape his ears.

Si Xuanyi leaned aside and prepared to continue sleeping, but the strange thing was that he couldn't fall asleep anyway. He always felt that something was wrong, but he wasn't sure if it was really a problem. It made him upset for a while, so he just sat up and smoked In the flickering firelight, more than a dozen people slept in different postures, and they gathered together in a haphazard manner. Si Xuanyi looked over one by one, and found that there was one person missing. He suddenly became alert. When he came back just now, he saw that Everyone was there, how could there be one less person in just a few minutes?He really didn't hear any sound during this time.

He immediately got up to check who the young man was, and Lin Feng sat up as he moved. He gestured to Lin Feng to explain the situation. Lin Feng also frowned, got up and followed him to check one by one, and soon they It was found that the one missing was a man named Zhou Da. Zhou Da had a calm temperament and rarely spoke, but he never did anything out of tune, so he would never leave quietly. Something must have happened .

The two arrived at Zhou Da's sleeping place. Lin Feng put the blanket aside and touched it. There was still a little temperature underneath. The temperature in this kind of mountainous area loses quickly, so it is certain that Zhou Da had just left.

Si Xuanyi got up and looked around, how could there be Zhou Da's shadow in the peaceful night?Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder, followed him with a schematic diagram, and then turned around and entered the darkness. Si Xuanyi didn't know what he was going to do, so he followed closely with a few steps.

"What did you find?" Si Xuanyi asked in a low voice.

"Not sure yet, go and have a look." Lin Feng pointed to the front, and within a few steps, he met Feng Youcai who was on guard.

"Did you see Zhou Da?" Si Xuanyi asked Feng Youcai.

"Zhou Da? No!" Feng Youcai shook his head.

"Then did you hear anything?" Si Xuanyi asked again.

"No, everything is normal." Feng Youcai said.

"This way." Lin Feng greeted Si Xuanyi, "It seems to be heading north."

"Are you sure?" Si Xuanyi felt that Lin Feng was walking by feeling.

"No, I can't be sure." Lin Feng pulled the bolt of the gun as he walked, which made Si Xuanyi feel that something was wrong, so he followed Feng Youcai after a few words.

The two walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Tonight is not so dark that you can't see anything. There are stars in the sky, and you can see the outlines of some things. Lin Feng walked with Si Xuanyi for a long time before stopping. Pointing to one side and asking him to look, Si Xuanyi squinted his eyes and stared at that direction for a long time to identify a vague outline, which seemed to be a human figure, but it was motionless.

Si Xuanyi couldn't be sure if it was a person. Lin Feng squatted on the side and stared at him without saying a word, and he was not allowed to make a sound. He could only stare at it patiently. He didn't know what he was looking at. It took more than ten minutes for him to finally understand. In fact, Lin Feng didn't let him see the standing shadow. If he got it right, it should be a black shadow of a stone, but there is something under the shadow. , It seems to be a person squatting on the ground.

Lin Feng wrote a few words on Si Xuanyi's back: "It's Zhou Da."

Si Xuanyi didn't understand how he could tell, but he still recognized Lin Feng's night vision. After a while, Lin Feng patted him and told him to follow him, then bent over and groped to one side, as if intending to Detouring around Zhou Da's side, the two of them stopped again after a few minutes. This time Si Xuanyi could finally see that it was indeed Zhou Da's figure. This guy squatted on the ground as if he was holding a stone, as if he was going to move the stone. open.

Lin Feng risked his waist and leaned up slowly, and when he came forward, he suddenly turned on the flashlight to shine on Zhou Da who was on the ground. For a moment, Si Xuanyi saw something flashing in front of Zhou Da, and at the same time, Zhou Da trembled He uttered an extremely weird howl. In the silent night, the sound sounded particularly penetrating. Si Xuanyi's hair stood on end, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. Zhou Da stood up abruptly while howling. He started to run, but as soon as he took a step, he was kicked by Lin Feng so hard that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up anymore, lying there moaning non-stop.

Si Xuanyi took a few steps to follow, only to find that Zhou Da's face was frighteningly pale, his eyes closed and opened, only the whites of the eyes, and what made him even more horrified was that the eyes were glowing green against the flashlight.

"What's wrong?" Si Xuanyi hurried up to check on Zhou Da's situation. This guy's hands and feet were cold, his limbs were stiff, and he didn't respond at all.

"Don't worry, there's nothing serious about this guy." Lin Feng said while turning his flashlight to the side, "You'd better take a look at this first."

Si Xuanyi was very annoyed. At this time, saving people was the most important thing. Zhou Da's state didn't look like he was in a good state. He had to look at it now, but when the flashlight was moved away, he still glanced at it, but he didn't know what to do with it. After a cold war, I saw more than a dozen corpses lying in disorder under the light of the flashlight, and it was one of them that Zhou Da was holding just now...
