Purifying Mantra Chapter 16 Two-Headed Snake

Zhao Shuang stared at me for a while, shook his head and said, "Whatever is supposed to come will always come. It can't be stopped!" After saying that, he slid down the rope towards the tree hole. This sentence has no reason and is not in my interpretation system at all.

Seeing that I couldn't stop him, I kept telling him: "Be careful and don't unbuckle the safety buckle. If anything happens, just shout and I'll pull you up right away."

"I know!" He responded under the tree hole.

The penetrating power of the Wolf Eye flashlight is stronger than ordinary light. I can always see the light emitted by the flashlight. Even if there is only a pitiful little dot left in the end, it still gives me a sense of security.

Zhao Shuang called me when he landed and shook his flashlight towards me: "There is a big space inside. Huang Xiao may have gone in. Do you want to come down?"

The answer is yes. On the one hand, I am curious about how much space the tree hole can have. On the other hand, I must find Huang Xiao.

"I'll put my luggage first, and you can take the order!" I shouted towards the tree hole.

"Received!" Zhao Shuang responded quickly, unlike Huang Xiao who was unreliable.

After I put all my luggage down in the tree hole, I pulled the rope and tied two safety buckles around my waist, but I still felt uneasy. Yes, that black hole has an inexplicable attraction for me. The fear at the beginning turned into impulse and now it has turned into temptation. But reason tells me that all this is too abnormal, maybe it is abnormal that I can't cope with. Even though I knew Zhao Shuang was standing below me, my legs and feet still felt weak.

I turned on the Wolf Eye flashlight, passed the lanyard through my wrist, and then tied the barrel to the mousse buckle of the glove, so that I could use both hands to pull up the falling rope. However, the disadvantage of this is that the beam of the flashlight points upward. , I cannot see what is in front of me. I really regret it. Why didn't I buy a miner's lamp? It would be much more convenient to wear it on my head.

Less than three meters down the tree hole, the vines above my head began to close. The jade lock in my trouser pocket burned the skin on my thighs. In the tree hole, only the flashlight became the only light source in the darkness. I tried my best to find a place to stay to steady my body. Trees and vines were circling around. There seemed to be many places to stay, but my feet slipped as soon as I stepped on them. I thought there must be a lot of moss growing on the vines. I could smell it clearly. The special fishy smell of mosses in the air.

Just as I was thinking about it, the sole of my foot slipped again, and my center of gravity became unstable and I knocked towards the tree vine. Subconsciously I stretched out my hand to block it, and poked my finger into a hole. When I stabilized my body and pointed the flashlight towards the hole, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! Where is the tree hole? There is a skeleton! What I poked with my finger was his dark eye socket! This visual impact made my whole body stiff, my scalp numb, and cold sweat burst out from the tip of my nose. It might also be runny nose.

I was stunned for at least five seconds before exhaling. After a while, I calmed down and carefully observed the skeleton. To be precise, it was a skull, with half of the shoulder blade connected to the lower part of the cervical spine, and then it disappeared. I shined the light around and found that there were many such broken bones among the surrounding vines, some of which were pressed underneath by the newly grown vines. Occasionally, a complete skeleton can be seen, and clothing broken into strips can be seen vaguely.

A red epaulette caught my attention. I stretched out my hand, but I couldn't keep balance with one hand. The rope slipped five or six meters, and I had no choice but to give up.

The temperature gets lower as we go lower, and my armpits sweat a lot because of my nervousness. Now the sweat stains are like a thermometer, reminding me to pay attention to the temperature difference. The pungent smell caused my stomach to twitch, and I suppressed the feeling of nausea. Don’t get me wrong, the bones among the trees and vines had long been reduced to dead bones, and there was no special smell left. What I smelled was tree moss. The smell of damp earth is mixed with the smell of rotting plants.

I noticed that there were burnt marks under the new vines, so I subconsciously wiped a handful of it, put it under my nose and smelled it, and there was the smell of gunpowder residue. I immediately deduced that there had been an explosion here, so the corpses were scattered among the vines.

Why blast here? Is it to blow up the vines at the entrance of the tree? No, there is no need to blow up everyone to escape.

Just as I was thinking about it, I felt a landing feeling on my feet. The land here is moist and soft but not muddy. Zhao Shuang was squatting by the wall observing a pile of bones. When he saw me coming down, he said in a deep voice: "They are Japanese!"

"Ah?" I was in a state of poor reception, untied the rope around my waist and walked towards him. A dozen dead bones were leaning against the vines, and some new vines were growing wildly through their eye sockets and chests. This sight made people feel chills from the soles of their feet. Complete epaulettes were vaguely visible on their tattered clothes. Yes, they seemed to be Japanese.

"Weird! I've never heard of a war being fought here, let alone that the Japanese came to this remote place!" After all, this place used to be sparsely populated, with few supplies and no troops stationed there. It's really strange why the Japanese favored this place. !

"The strangest thing is how the Japanese soldiers were trapped in the tree hole." Zhao Shuang stood up and handed me the damn mobile phone.

I looked at the phone and saw that it wasn't broken, but the screen was a little cracked. I put it into my bag, dragged Zhao Shuang to the edge of the tree hole, pointed at the burnt vines and said, "There was an explosion here!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Shuang only responded casually. It seemed that he had discovered it a long time ago. He opened the bag, took out the folding shovel, handed one to me, and took out one himself. "Let's go! Find Huang Xiao!" I could see that his whole body was tense, as if he was already in fighting mode, and I couldn't help but become nervous myself.

Zhao Shuang took the lead, and I followed him, complaining about Huang Xiao in my heart. This place is overflowing with evil. If you weren't caught by a female ghost, I would definitely beat you to a pile of shit.

I tensed my nerves and was on guard. The vines all around me grew in one direction, forming an irregular downward-sloping passage. The top of the head was very empty, and there was a breeze blowing down from above, but when I used a flashlight to look up, I couldn't see what was above.

There are many dead bones scattered in the passage, some are intact, and some have heads missing. I cringed and tried to adapt to this horrific sight. We walked tediously for about twenty minutes and still couldn't see the end of the passage. I began to wonder if this passage could lead to the other side of the earth. He wanted to make a joke to break the dull silence, but Zhao Shuang's back was stiff and alert in front of him, so he had to give up the idea of ​​distracting him and follow him silently.

Suddenly, I was hit by a drop of cold liquid on the top of my head. I was startled, tripped and fell to the ground with a "bang".

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shuang pointed the flashlight at me, and the dazzling light temporarily blinded me.

I raised my hand to block the light source and quickly said, "It's okay, I just tripped and fell."

Zhao Shuang reached out and helped me up. Seeing that I was fine, he went to look at his new discovery.

I rubbed my painful elbow, and angrily kicked the thing that tripped me, which was a pair of legs. Because of my movement, a body fell along the wall. I took a closer look with a flashlight and saw that it was a complete skeleton. His clothes were well preserved, and the material and color were completely different from the soldiers' clothes. He might be a commander. I noticed that Dry Bones was holding a long knife that was inserted directly into his abdomen. It turned out to be a commander who committed suicide by caesarean section.

The bright light of the flashlight hit the officer's broken collar, and a hint of orange flashed there. My curiosity drove me to take out the emergency tool and pick open the broken collar. Sure enough, there was something else going on. I pinched the orange strand and pulled it, and it turned out to be a silk scarf with bright colors and fashionable patterns. It looks like the top item of a famous luxury brand.

I looked at the officer lying on the ground again, and thought with disdain, what a transvestite who committed suicide by caesarean section! It seems that you are a person with a story. I saw that the silk scarf was brand new and intact, so I stuffed it into my pants pocket, intending to take it back and give it to my good aunt as a souvenir.

"Don't move!" Suddenly Zhao Shuang shouted at me.

I was stunned. Zhao Shuang looked at me in horror. Before I could react, he flew up and kicked me down. I fell so hard that my vision went black. When I woke up again, I saw him kneeling on the ground. , pressing a snake head as thick as a bowl to the ground with both hands.

I was stunned there, in the freezing reaction that humans cannot control, staring at the scene in front of me stiffly, but my brain was functioning normally. To say that the mouth of the bowl is thick is just an adjective that people usually use. This snake is the mouth of the Lanzhou Ramen bowl. When the words are used, I hate them. The color of the snake cannot be accurately described in the vocabulary I am familiar with. It's a little yellow, a little green, like the poop caused by indigestion after eating vegetables.

"Why don't you come over and help?" Zhao Shuang shouted, his expression was illuminated by the flashlight that fell on the ground with a sinister look.

My hands and feet were numb, and my body returned to basic functions. I immediately jumped up from the ground. Ignoring my nausea, I pulled out the long knife from the cross-dressing officer's abdomen. I was about to use the knife to greet the snake when I discovered this Where the snake should have a tail, it actually has a head.
