Endless Road of Corpse - C53
“Here, look at this dragon vein. It’s filled with wind and water. Wind and water are not ordinary. Look at this dragon vein …” Mao Tou stood on top of a huge rock on the mountain ridge with one hand on his waist and the other pointing towards the vast mountains.
My mind was completely blank. It was as if there was a red-hot iron rod repeatedly stabbing into my throat. My legs seemed to have become like iron plates. Every step of mine was filled with intense pain.
This mountain forest is just as Mao Tou had said. All kinds of small paths, covered forests, coasts, and deep valleys formed a deep and unfathomable maze, and every single place looked to be extremely familiar, as if we had just arrived at a place. If we didn’t find the marks that we had made in advance, I would have thought that Mao Tou was leading us in a circle.
San Mao and the Daoist Priest were also not in a good mood. Although San Mao’s outer appearance was mighty and he was a police officer, this fellow had never run past 500 meters since he started working. Adding to that the food he ate and drank all year round and his irregular life, his body had long since disappeared. I looked at the fat on his back, which was completely drenched in sweat, bulging out one after another as he walked.
The Daoist looked even worse. His complexion was ashen, but at this moment, his face was flushed red. He was panting like a farm tractor with a broken exhaust pipe. His skinny body was like a tree branch that was about to be broken at any time.
Only Mao Tou was exceptionally excited, his short legs jumping around like a pet dog that had seen its master leave home a long time ago.
Don’t just look at how poor this place is, we’ve also been born in the royal palace, so it’s not strange for there to be an ancient tomb in this mountain!” Mao Tou took out the ripped pirated version of “Ghost Blows Out the Light”, pointed at it and said: “This book says — Dragon Veins, from the perspective, there are also Immersed Dragons, Hidden Dragons, Flying Dragons, Soaring Dragon Mao Tou gestured with his finger, “It is clearly a wyvern!
The three of us have a lack of oxygen in our brains, so we don’t have the strength to talk. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, San Mao jumped down from the stone and landed soundlessly.
“I say, you guys should let me know, whose tomb are you going to dig?” Are the black donkey’s hooves ready? What about Luoyang Shovel? ”
I was as tired as a wild dog in the hot sun. I put my hands on my knees, stuck out my tongue, and gasped for breath.
“Digging your mother! What about the military base you were talking about? You aren’t f * * king messing with us, are you? ”
“Not far, not far …” “We’ll be there after this mountain.” Mao Tou used his hands and feet to climb up, like a small beast that lived in the forest to begin with.
“Oh …” “I got it …” Mao Tou suddenly stopped and turned to look at me: “That place is an ancient tomb, right? The government was already digging, right? “No wonder they chased us away. They want to surround us and dig us out!”
I was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. I could only weakly wave my hand to signal for him to leave.
Fortunately, our destination was just as Mao Tou had said. After going over this mountain ridge, Mao Tou finally stopped and said in a small voice:
“We’re right in front of you …”
“You’re f * * king messing with me!” I looked at the impenetrable forest in front of me. There was not a trace of man-made buildings.
“Void …!” Mao Tou put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture. Then, he waved his hand, cut off the vines around a tall maple and entered it.
The three of us looked at each other, and in the end, San Mao shrugged and followed along. The Taoist and I had to follow.
These vines climbed up on top of every tree, the leaves densely packed together, covering the entire sky in layers. The sunlight was like sparks that were about to be extinguished, and in the middle of the leaves hung purple flowers, looking like a fairy tale.
“This is Kudo Vine, an invasive plant …” As if the Taoist knew my doubts, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, “This thing used to be good stuff. Kudo can eat it, and flowers can make medicine, and vines can also take hemp cloth …” “It’s a pity that everyone is rich now, and no one is going to suffer any more, running up the mountain to dig and chop. Then, it’s like this, the whole mountain is covered with grass, its leaves are too lush, blocking out the sun, causing other plants in the forest to be unable to grow …”
I looked down and saw that there was not a single blade of grass growing under my feet.
“It’s a loss when the moon is full. It’s not good to overdo anything …” The Taoist began to shake his head.
“Who said that? You’re not afraid of too much money! ” San Mao turned and said.
The Taoist was stunned and nodded. “That’s true …”
“Shh …” “We’re here!” Mao Tou suddenly squatted and said.
“Where?” San Mao looked left and right.
Mao Tou laughed complacently and tilted his head. Looking in his direction, there was a thick layer of Ge Teng’s waterfall that looked like it was being covered by a blanket.
Mao Tou was like a pangolin, digging through the layers of leaves and entering into the cave, behind him, a round green hole appeared. After a while, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone through the hole.
“Come here!” Mao Tou shouted from the other side.
I squinted my eyes for a while, then bent down and looked out of the hole left by Mao Tou. At this time, the leaves around me had already started to close, I pushed the hole to the side a bit, and also went in. It was as if I had rolled into a pile of soft linen. The leaves on both sides of me were constantly rubbing against my face, and the fur on the leaves made my neck itch. I felt as if I were crawling through the rabbit hole that led to Alice’s Wonderland.
The hole was not deep, and a distance of two to three meters was covered in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, the sky lit up, and it took me a while to get used to the darkness. The forest seemed to have been cut by knives, and stopped there. The grass stretched out for twenty to thirty meters before a towering barbed-wire net appeared!
Just then, San Mao and the Taoist also came out. The three of us lined up in a row and stared at the twenty-meter-tall barbed wire.
“What does this have to do with anything?” I swallowed hard and said.
“Jurassic Park…” The Taoist grunted softly.
“Quick, follow me!” Mao Tou covered the leaves at the entrance of the cave once again.
We followed Mao Tou to the side of the forest and the barbed wire fence, while constantly looking in the direction of the barbed wire. It was a warning sign, but behind the barbed wire fence, there was still a stretch of grass and no man-made buildings could be seen.
“How do I get in?” We didn’t bring any wire shears, so there’s still electricity here! ” San Mao could not hold it in, and continued to ask as he walked.
To us, it was a good idea to leave, but to Mao Tou, it was a mad dash. His two short legs were swaying quickly like a rabbit, but he did not show any signs of exhaustion, even his breathing remained stable.
“There’s a cliff up ahead. They don’t have any barbed wire!”
“Cliff?” Then how do we get down? Could it be that we’re flying down? ” San Mao said in anger.
“I know a secret passage!” Mao Tou answered bluntly.
After we had walked for more than ten minutes, the cliff Mao Tou mentioned finally appeared in front of us. This ocher red cliff was very abrupt, like a castle rising from the ground, it did not look like a product of nature at all. It looked like a relic left behind by an alien in a science fiction movie. At the same time, the barbed-wire fence that had been extending all this time came to a sudden stop at the place where the cliff rose up.
“Danxia Mountains …” The Taoist shielded his eyes from the sunlight with one hand as he looked up at the castle and murmured, “What a pity. Why don’t we develop tourism …”
“And then?” I looked down at Mao Tou and asked.
“Go around from the back!” Mao Tou shrugged and said.
San Mao stretched his head out and looked behind the cliff, then turned and pointed at the cliff which was almost ninety degrees vertical: “Going up is not difficult, the problem is how to go down! Where did this bare, secret passage come from? ”
“You’ll know once we get to the top of the mountain …” Mao Tou continued to laugh as he spoke, his laughter had a sense of being a common sight in China, where the locals mocked the pride of the foreign tourists.
The other side of the cliff was connected to the woods. The mountain wasn’t that steep, and although there were some dangers along the way, we were able to climb it without any surprises.
The wind at the top of the mountain was so strong that I had just sweated all over. As the wind blew against me, I felt a cold sensation under my armpits and suddenly shivered. I looked around and saw that the sky was dark, leaving only a green halo in the northwest. On the other side of the cliff was a wild, white wilderness.
“What about the secret passageway?” Where is it? ” San Mao also felt that it was a little cold. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and kept stroking his arms.
“Don’t rush…” “Wait a moment.” Mao Tou sat down on a rock.
“Wait for what?” The Taoist sat down beside him, panting.
“Wait for dark!”
As if he was confirming Mao Tou’s words, the moment he finished speaking, lights suddenly lit up on the other side of the barbed wire net, at the far end of the wasteland!
“Damn it…” What is this? ” San Mao looked forward blankly, and said while dropping his chin.
The source of the light was a huge building with a glass dome that looked like a gymnasium. Through the dazzling light, the surface of the building looked like a giant egg, and there was also a blurry shadow.
“It looks like an airplane …” The Taoist mumbled with dull eyes.
