Chapter 34: Legend of the Undead in the Book of the Dead (34)
yes!If you can receive the GPS signal, don't you know the exact position here?Tang Feng found the GPS receiver in his backpack. Water had entered the receiver, and the screen was a bit blurry, but he was pleasantly surprised to find that GPS signals could be received here.Seeing a set of fuzzy latitude and longitude displayed on the GPS receiver, Han Jiang also saw it, and immediately found a military waterproof map for comparison, but when he found the corresponding location on the map according to the latitude and longitude displayed on the GPS receiver, he He and Tang Feng were stunned.Makarov was also stunned, because according to the latitude and longitude displayed by the GPS, from the map, their current location turned out to be in the upper reaches of the Baihe River, a hundred kilometers southwest of Langmusi!
"How did we come so far?" Han Jiang couldn't believe it.

"Did we really walk for more than a day and a night in the cave?" Makarov fell into deep thought.

Tang Feng carefully observed the map again, hoping that there would be some marks on the map to point out a road, but he looked at it for a long time, and according to the latitude and longitude displayed by GPS, this area turned out to be blank on a high proportion of military maps. Mark of value! "Could it be that no one has ever been here?" Tang Feng muttered to himself.

"Impossible! The GPS receiver must have been damaged by water," Han Jiang said.

"I thought so too. There must be something wrong with the latitude and longitude displayed on the GPS receiver." Makarov agreed with Han Jiang's opinion.

Tang Feng nodded, "Well! That's the only way to explain it. I want to go to the opposite cliff right away to have a look, maybe I can meet that girl just now. Which one of you will go with me?"

"Of course it's me!" Han Jiang touched the gun at his waist and said.

"But Liang Yuan needs someone to take care of her." After speaking, Tang Feng turned his attention to Han Jiang, and then from Han Jiang to Makarov.Han Jiang also turned to look at Makarov. Makarov spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, this little girl is handed over to me!"

Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang again, he still had doubts about Makarov, an old Russian man, and he needed Han Jiang's affirmation.Han Jiang nodded slightly, and then he said to Makarov, "Then I'll leave it to you."

The three agreed that Tang Feng and Han Jiang took their guns and searched for them on the opposite cliff.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked up the rugged path on the cliff. The path was hidden in the grass, and they couldn't find it unless they searched carefully. There were cliffs under the path.Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked cautiously on the edge of the cliff, neither of them said a word, nor was they in the mood to stop to appreciate the surrounding scenery, they just buried their heads in their way.

The path twists and turns on the edge of the cliff, constantly changing the path according to the mountain situation. Whenever turning a corner, Tang Feng, who is walking in front, is always worried involuntarily, worried that a person will suddenly jump out of the corner and block the way!In front of him, the mountain changed, and the trail turned again. Tang Feng's heart suddenly jumped, and he began to worry about whether there would be a person jumping out of there suddenly.If there was someone, he hoped it was the girl he saw just now.But when he turned the corner, there was still no one on the empty path, only the sound of the wind passing through the treetops in his ears.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang could already see the place where the young couple jumped off the cliff just now, and there was a protruding boulder hanging over Haizi.The surface of the big stone is flat and smooth, showing a strange luster in the sun.Tang Feng and Han Jiang stood on the boulder, which is where the young couple jumped off the cliff just now.The two looked around and found nothing unusual.I used the binoculars to look at Makarov and Liang Yuan in the opposite pine forest, and everything was as usual; then I used the binoculars to look into the distance, and there were only layers of mountains in the lens, and no one was seen.

Suddenly, Tang Feng felt something was wrong.He put down the binoculars and was surprised to find that in the originally sunny sky, a large piece of dark cloud suddenly covered the sunlight, and the whole sky became gloomy. There was a strong wind in the woods, which made Tang Feng and Han Jiang unable to open their eyes.After a while, the strong wind gradually stopped, and Tang Feng sighed: "What a weird weather!"

After saying that, he and Han Jiang bravely moved to the edge of the boulder step by step, poked their heads out and looked down.Tang Feng felt dizzy for a while and almost fell down.He hurriedly withdrew his body and looked back at Han Jiang again.At some point, Han Jiang collapsed on the boulder, clutching his heart, his face was pale and pained.Tang Feng had never seen Han Jiang like this before, so he hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

After Han Jiang's complexion improved, he replied: "It's nothing, I feel a little uncomfortable. I don't know why, but from the bottom, it's not high here, but when I came up, I realized that it's very high above the water!"

"Hmm!" Tang Feng tried to poke his head out again to look at the water surface. Suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, because he saw... two corpses of a man and a woman were floating on the water surface of Haizi.What made him even more unbelievable was that Haizi, which had been colorful in the sun just now, turned into a daunting black, seemingly bottomless.Tang Feng felt dizzy again.

Han Jiang also saw all this, the two retreated and collapsed powerlessly on the boulder.Tang Feng said puzzledly: "Supposedly, we have been tested for a long time. We have seen countless dead bodies and climbed cliffs a lot. Why do we react so strongly when standing on this boulder?"

Panting heavily, Han Jiang shook his head and said, "I don't know. On this journey, from the forced landing of the plane, to Qiang Village, Langmusi Temple, to the Namo Grand Canyon, the Great Karst Cave, and then to here, I have experienced too many incredible things. Things, the experience I have accumulated for more than ten years, seems to be useless now."

Tang Feng stood up and looked around. The path he came here was broken at this point. It seems that the path leads to the boulder, and there is no other way here.Tang Feng was even more puzzled: "There is only the path from when we came here. Where did the girl who cried here just now go?"

"Did that girl jump down too?" Han Jiang asked back.

Han Jiang's words made Tang Feng tremble all over, and he felt a chill.

Tang Feng stood up suspiciously, moved to the edge of the boulder again, and looked down. There were indeed only two corpses of a man and a woman on the water, and there was no third corpse.He and Han Jiang carefully searched the grass and woods near the big rock. They were all densely packed virgin forests, and there was no trace of people walking through them.When the two returned to the boulder, Han Jiang suddenly pointed to a rock under the edge of the boulder and said, "Is there a road there?"

Tang Feng approached and inspected, and asserted: "Impossible, how can there be a road on the rock wall? Even if there is a road, it is an extremely dangerous cliff, and only monkeys can walk on it!" Han Jiang also nodded, and the two I found nothing on the boulder, so I had to go back the same way.But what surprised them both was that when they got down from the cliff, the dark clouds over Haizi dissipated immediately, the sun shone on Haizi again, and the water surface still showed various beautiful colors.

Everything is normal in the pine forest, but Liang Yuan is still unconscious.Tang Feng touched Liang Yuan's forehead with his hand, and it seemed that the heat was not so hot. At this time, Liang Yuan seemed to be asleep.Makarov asked: "What did you find? Did you find the girl?"

Han Jiang shook his head: "We only saw the bodies of the man and woman who jumped off the cliff, but not the girl."

"Everything is so strange, where did that girl go? It's so quiet here, it seems that there is no one else but us, but we clearly saw those strange people." Tang Feng said.

"However, this trip was not fruitless. We saw from the cliff that this Haizi has a vast water area. We are now in the lower reaches of Haizi, and the upper reaches can't see the end. We don't know how big this Haizi is." Tang Feng introduced.

Han Jiang said, "I can't see the end upstream, and I can't see where the water in this sea is going downstream. The water in the downstream seems to have disappeared!"

"Is this just a closed lake?—another strange lake!" sighed Makarov.

The three of them looked at each other and were silent for a while.Suddenly, there was a sound from the lake, someone finally came?The three hurriedly hid behind a boulder by the lake and looked towards the water.The sound on the water was getting louder and louder, like someone beating gongs and drums.After a while, the three of them found several boats appearing out of nowhere on the surface of the water, and there were indeed people on board beating gongs and drums, and some people were shouting loudly and rowing hard.Several small boats quickly sailed to the bottom of the cliff and stopped.Tang Feng looked through the binoculars: "It's really a bunch of strange people. It looks similar to the pair of men and women who jumped off the cliff."

"Maybe this is the costume of the local people!" Han Jiang speculated.

"What are they doing?" Makarov asked anxiously after Tang Feng snatched the telescope.

"They were trying to salvage the corpse from the water, but they were beating and beating." Tang Feng saw a strange scene through the binoculars.

"What does this mean? Why are people beating drums and gongs instead of mourning when someone died?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

"As I said, everything here is very strange... They picked up two corpses and started to return. They were still beating and beating, and there was no trace of sadness!" Tang Feng continued to explain.

Tang Feng held up the binoculars for a long time in silence, which made Han Jiang and Makarov very anxious. Han Jiang couldn't hold back and asked, "You are talking! What did you see?"

"I can't see anything anymore, and everything has returned to calm. It's like watching an incredible movie." Tang Feng said slowly, and then put down the binoculars.

"What's going on? Where did that group go?" Han Jiang asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, they must have rowed to a small harbor not far from us. There may be a local village, or... I think we should go there and ask, maybe we can find out Eyebrows!" Tang Feng paused for a moment, then turned to Han Jiang and said, "How is it? Let's go again!" After speaking, Tang Feng pulled out his pistol and checked the magazine.

Han Jiang nodded, and also drew his Type [-] pistol.The two walked quickly through the pine forest, one in front of the other, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the pine forest.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked briskly in the pine forest for about half an hour, and a huge stone tablet appeared in front of them by Haizi.Tang Feng stepped forward and slowly read out the four big characters on the stele—Qise Jinhai!
"Qise Jinhai? It seems that this is the name of this sea." Han Jiang said.

"The name is really apt, Seven Colors Jinhai. You see, the lake surface really shines seven colors in the sun." Under Tang Feng's guidance, Han Jiang saw that from this angle, Haizi sometimes appeared pale. Green, sometimes a piece of blue; sometimes dark green like emerald, sometimes a charming golden yellow; sometimes magical purple, sometimes fiery red.And of course, that daunting black!

"It really is a paradise, it's amazing." Han Jiang praised involuntarily.

The two walked upstream along the lake for a while, and sure enough, they found a village in a fjord.The houses in the village are all made of polished stones, much like the houses of the Qiang people.Looking at the square outside the village, hundreds of people gathered, men and women gathered under a high wooden platform, talking and laughing, singing and dancing, very lively.

"I finally met someone!" Han Jiang felt slightly relieved.

"What are they doing?" Tang Feng asked curiously.

"It seems to be celebrating some festival!" Han Jiang guessed.

"But someone just died here? Is there such a custom here?"

Han Jiang gave Tang Feng a blank look, and said, "Nonsense! Have you ever seen people celebrate when they died? If you want to know the reason, go and have a look!" Han Jiang put away his pistol and approached the crowd.

Tang Feng hurriedly followed behind and followed.The two stood behind the crowd and looked into the middle of the crowd. They saw a wooden frame with a height of one foot in the crowd. The wooden frame was piled with dry firewood, and two people were lying on the wooden frame.The whole body of the two of them was wrapped in multicolored silk, and the silk was wrapped in white felt.Tang Feng watched carefully, only to find that the two people lying on the wooden frame were the couple who committed suicide by jumping off the cliff. He couldn't help being surprised, what was the purpose of these people putting the corpse on the wooden frame?What's even more strange is that none of these people showed sadness, but actually sang and danced, beat drums and drank wine?

Just when Tang Feng was surprised, an older strong man in the crowd, holding a lighted torch, walked under the wooden frame, raised his arm and waved, and everyone fell silent.The elder said to everyone: "The great lama is praying for the souls on the wooden fence!"

Tang Feng heard that the elder spoke Chinese, but the Chinese spoken by the elder turned into a strange language, which made Tang Feng feel strange.He couldn't tell where the dialect was from, nor could he understand what the elder said.He looked back at Han Jiang, Han Jiang was even more confused, and obviously did not understand what the elder said.

"It seems that this elder is the leader of this group of people." Tang Feng thought of this, and when the elder finished speaking, he raised a torch and lit the tall wooden frame, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Fei— - Ascension to the sky!"

The wooden frame was lit, and in the blazing flames, the people beside the wooden frame held their hands up high as if possessed, and followed the elder shouting loudly over and over again: "Ascension to heaven! Ascension to heaven——!"

"Ascension to the sky? What does this mean?" Tang Feng and Han Jiang stared at the raging fire in front of them, puzzled.Suddenly the two of them came to their senses almost at the same time, they were going to burn the bodies of the couple!People died, these people didn't call the police, they just cremated the body hastily like this!Maybe, the death of this couple was not as simple as suicide!
Tang Feng and Han Jiang rushed forward immediately, and there was a commotion in the crowd.Then Tang Feng stood under the wooden frame and shouted to the people around him, "What are you doing? You didn't call the police when you died, and you cremated the body without permission!" He picked up branches and beat the flames in an attempt to extinguish the raging fire.

The people around Mucha witnessed Tang Feng and Han Jiang's actions, and they were all stunned. They stared blankly at Tang Feng and Han Jiang, but no one came up to help.They looked at Tang Feng and Han Jiang as if they were monsters, and it was the elderly strong man who was the first to react.He was furious at Tang Feng and Han Jiang's actions. With a wave of his hand, several burly men flashed out from the crowd. The burly men rushed forward, and before Tang Feng and Han Jiang could react, he put them on the ground .In the past, these burly men were no match for Han Jiang at all, but now the tiger is in Pingyang, Han Jiang is hungry and tired, and his body is extremely weak.
"Who are you, why are you arresting me!—Put out the fire!" Although Han Jiang had already been arrested, he was still very unconvinced.

yes!Both he and Tang Feng had reasons to be unconvinced. Both of them had been enemies for a long time, but they didn't expect that this time they would fall into the hands of such a few villagers.What a capsize in the gutter.

Those burly men found two pistols from Tang Feng and Han Jiang and handed them to the elders in charge.The elder weighed the two pistols, sneered, and spoke to Tang Feng and Han Jiang.Tang Feng didn't understand what this man said. He tried his best to calm himself down, and then asked the elder, "Who are you? Why are you arresting us?"

"You ask who we are? I want to ask who you two are?" The elder suddenly changed his tone into a language Tang Feng could understand, but it still made Tang Feng feel awkward.

"We are tourists, we got here when we lost our way!" Tang Feng argued.

"Tourists? Hmph! Are there any tourists with guns?" The elder still spoke awkward Chinese.

"Guns? I'm a police officer by profession, and I only carry guns for self-defense!" Han Jiang also argued.

"I don't want to continue talking nonsense with you, because I don't expect to get the truth from you!" The elder's tone was majestic and unquestionable.

Tang Feng was still arguing vigorously: "No! We didn't lie to you, we were telling the truth. We entered a cave by mistake. We walked for an unknown amount of time in the cave, and finally walked out along an underground river. came here at that time.”

It was fine if Tang Feng didn't say anything. When the elder heard about the cave, he immediately jumped up: "You entered the cave?"

"Yes." Han Jiang nodded.

"Then you broke into the sacred hall of pillars?" the elder asked.

Tang Feng's heart trembled suddenly. He didn't know how to answer the elder's question for a while, but the elder no longer needed his answer.

The elder said loudly to the crowd: "It seems that they broke into the sacred hall of pillars and ruined this solemn funeral. They are really devils, heinous devils!"

"Yes! Devil! Heinous devil!" Everyone shouted.

The elder waved his hand vigorously again, and the audience fell silent, only to hear the elder say slowly: "Since they are devils, then we have to deal with them the way we deal with devils!" The audience burst into cheers.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang looked at each other with helplessness and confusion on their faces. They didn't know who they were with, and what kind of cruel punishment was waiting for them.At this time, the flames on the wooden frame had gradually extinguished, and the couple lying on it had long since turned into gray ashes, falling into the sea of ​​seven-color brocade with the wind.
