But what surprised me was that this was not the kind of rock wall found in ordinary mountain caves, and there was not even any trace of soil layers. Instead, it was made of solid bluestone bricks, even though it had been built over thousands of years.
Over time, the bricks have turned black, but they can still be identified if you look closely.
"Sister Qian, look at these bluestone bricks." When I saw these bluestone bricks, I was surprised and at the same time, I became more vigilant.
"Yes, the bricks here are very sticky, like they are covered with layers of moss." Xu Qian originally wanted to reach out and touch it, but she was afraid that she would feel sick, so she gave up the idea.
Rainfall in Tibet is rare. Except for southern Tibet, it is generally difficult for the water and soil in other places to have this kind of situation. Even if there is moisture in the soil, it is mostly frozen soil. But this place is not only humid, but also obviously artificial.
, incredible.
"Lin Kun, come and see." At this time, Sister Meng called me from the front.
The flashlights of Da Di and Sister Meng had been shining on a place on the wall, which happened to be at a corner. At this time, I took a closer look and found that there were cracks on it. The cracks were about the thickness of my little finger. I was surprised.
He asked, "Don't the people who built this place know how to take some anti-corrosion measures? Otherwise, too much time has passed and this place may collapse."
"It's not like that!" Sister Meng shook her head cautiously. She had rich experience and saw some clues. "I'm afraid this is not caused by time, but caused by man."
Xu Qian suddenly said: "What Sister Meng said is true, this did not collapse naturally."
I looked at the cracks on the top in surprise, and said doubtfully: "No way, who would use a hammer to carve out the cracks on top? That's something only a lunatic would do."
In fact, it’s not surprising that I think so. There are too many cracks here, and there is no ventilation effect at all, which means that it is completely redundant. I really can’t think of anyone who is so full that he would make these things.
And there seemed to be a red, blood-like color inside the crack, which was quite disgusting.
Xu Qian took a look and said, "But it's not man-made, it was some kind of animal crawling over."
"animal?"
After listening to Xu Qian's words, Sister Meng and Da Di and I all opened our eyes wide. With Sister Meng's eyesight, it was easy to see that there was something wrong with this crack, but her judgment also made a mistake. Xu Qian actually said that it was some kind of crack.
Traces made by animals.
"What animal is so powerful that it can travel through bricks? Besides, the bricks are so hard. How can ordinary insects have such powerful bodies that can break these bricks?" I couldn't help but wonder.
But I saw Xu Qian’s solemn look, and had to confirm that her guess was not to scare me. Xu Qian continued, “There must be more than one of these animals. There are so many cracks here, and their number should be very huge.”
I took a deep breath, looked at Xu Qian who continued to walk forward, and thought to myself: "No wonder the people who came here before didn't get out alive. When I encounter this kind of insect, I can only stand here with a heart-broken heart."
Waiting to die."
In the darkness, I followed Xu Qian cautiously. Xu Qian was walking very fast. At this moment, there was a loud bang in front of me. It felt like a bang coming from the top of the cave.
As if something fell, everyone stopped immediately.
After walking about ten steps, I suddenly heard Xu Qian yelling to be careful. My heart was shocked, and the light suddenly shone on me, and my forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.
I actually saw dozens of pitch-black insects on the opposite side!
"Lin Kun, squat down quickly!" Sister Meng behind me grabbed my collar and pushed me down hard. The insect rushed past me at a very fast speed, grazing my neck.
At the same time, Dadi on the side raised her knife and hit one of the insects with one strike, and the insect was immediately split into two.
I turned around and saw that the bugs looked like leeches, but they had a pair of cicada wings on their backs, and their bodies were covered with furry legs. They were larger than ordinary centipedes, and they didn't look like light thieves.
Worms are like insects, with a pair of eyes emitting a faint red light.
"What is this?" I swallowed, it was indeed a bit thrilling just now.
"I haven't seen it either. Could it be a bug unique to Tibet?" Sister Meng shook her head.
"Xu Qian should know." We stood up and saw Xu Qian squatting not far in front, holding a dagger in her hand, and there were a few bugs at her feet.
What surprised me was that underneath the bodies of those bugs, there was actually a huge thing lying there!
I tried hard to identify it, and was shocked to find that it was actually a corpse. It was quite bloated, but it was not complete. Two arms were gone at this time, and half of the body was also riddled with holes.
With blood flowing out, I looked at the bugs, swallowed, and immediately understood what a horrific thing this fat man had experienced before.
But what makes me more curious is the identity of this fat man. According to the old mayor, no one has entered this ghost cave for a long time, let alone no one knows if someone died here, so this fat man
How did you enter the ghost cave, and why were you targeted by these bugs?
"It's not a good place to stay!" Sister Meng's warning meant that there was no time for me to think about this.
At the same time we discovered the bugs, they apparently discovered us.
Then I saw a large group of red spots starting to gather on the stone wall in front of me. The insects raised their red eyes and looked at us. We didn't dare to think too much and rushed in the direction we came from.
And those bugs started to boil at this moment. They had too many legs, crawling on the ground and making sparse sounds, and their speed seemed quite fast, chasing us like a gust of wind.
I looked back in a hurry, only to find that there were more and more bugs, and I didn’t know where they came from. In a short period of time, there were hundreds of them!
"There is a hole here, get in." At this moment, Xu Qian pulled me hard, and then I raised my head and followed her gaze to the top of my head, and found that there was a huge hole there, but it was very strange in the dark night.
It's easy to detect, so I didn't notice it when I came in before.
I thought about it, and it was obviously too late to rush out now. After all, we have been in for a long time, and it is not easy to get out. Sooner or later, we will run out of energy and be caught up by those bugs.
Xu Qian was very skilled. She took a quick step, jumped up to the wall, kicked hard, stepped on the wall for two steps, and then spun around in mid-air.
Turning over, he immediately climbed up to the hole above with his hands, and then an upside-down golden hook was hidden in the hole.
"Sister Meng, Da Di, come up quickly!" Xu Qian stretched out her hand and said.
At this time, Sister Meng and Da Di cooperated. Da Di jumped lightly and entered the hole with the help of Sister Meng's arms, and then joined forces with Xu Qian to drag Sister Meng up.
"Lin Kun, hurry up!"
"Insects..." I raised my head and glanced at the insects that were getting closer and closer. The sparse sounds echoed in the cave, making my scalp numb. I gritted my teeth, knowing that I had to be tough at this time.
My scalp was injured, so I imitated Xu Qianda's movements and pushed hard. However, I was not as light as her, so this movement was not suitable for me. When I turned upside down, my body accelerated my fall.
Originally, I was frustrated and embarrassed. Fortunately, none of the three women above wanted anything to happen to me, so they took action at the same time and grabbed my belt.
"Give me your hand!" Xu Qian rolled her eyes at me, feeling disgusted.
I held my breath and held on tightly, fearing that my hand would accidentally slip.
Soon, I got into the narrow hole above.
"Huh!" I gasped, with a look of embarrassment on my face. I was really a little embarrassed by my embarrassment just now.
At this time, my tense heart finally felt a little relieved. Looking at the insects gathered together below, like a black group of squirming hills, my scalp felt numb for a while, "Good guy,
If we were surrounded by them, we would die without knowing how."
"Sister Qian, what on earth is that!"
"Corpse worm."
"Corpse worms?" I asked in surprise, "I have seen a lot of corpse worms, including red flame beetles and corpse maggots, but why doesn't even Sister Meng know about this kind of corpse worm?"
"This kind of corpse worm can only be found in Tibet in China, and only in this area. If you leave here, this kind of corpse worm cannot survive. At that time, this kind of corpse worm was brought to Tibet from Egypt along the Silk Road by Persian merchants.
"Originally, this kind of corpse insect could not reproduce in Tibet, but due to the unique natural conditions of this ghost cave, it created an ideal habitat for them."
"So, you knew about this place early in the morning, right?" After listening to Xu Qian's words, I seemed to understand something.
Xu Qian didn't say much, and obviously couldn't speak now. I carefully looked down from the entrance of the cave, and there was a shocking scene underneath. I really didn't know what words to use to describe what I saw.
In front of me is a cave similar to a sewer. I roughly estimate that I can only continue to move forward by lying on the ground. A trace of sunlight falls from the cracks in the rocks, which makes the visibility here quite high. However, on the rock walls of these caves
There were some cracks on the top, extending all the way to the front. Looking at those things, I became nervous again, because it proved that this place was not absolutely safe, because there might be corpse insects here!
Those corpse worms are said to crawl out from the piles of dead people. After the death of human beings, their bodies rot, and those corpse worms are born in coffins in a vacuum state. No one knows how they survive, but they rely on
