Chapter 3 Part Two: A cellar that must never have light

The inside of the room is only about 200 square feet, and it looks like a small temple. In the center of the room, there is a large stone, which is also flat.On the boulder, there was a dark, strange-shaped thing.Around that big rock were many incense sticks, all of which were burnt.At the four corners of the big stone, there are four rough earthen urns, which contain oil and lamp wicks, which are lit on fire.The light I saw came from these four ever-burning lamps. What made me stunned was: what is this place?Is it a temple?The grotesque thing on the boulder does not seem to be a statue by any means.Nepalese worship Buddhism. Although Buddha statues also have some strange shapes, they are definitely not like the one on the boulder.And the incense around the big stone clearly proves that the things on the big stone are for people to worship!

I was originally a very curious person. Although I had important things to do at this time and had to fight for every minute to hurry, I was still extremely interested in this thing on the boulder. When I touched my pocket, the small camera I was carrying was still there. I took out the camera and took a dozen photos from various angles.When the light from the flashlight hit the thing, there were several places on the thing that gave off strong reflections. After I finished taking pictures, I climbed up the boulder and began to study that unknown thing. Since this thing is closely related to my future encounters and all kinds of incredible things that happened later, it is necessary to describe it in detail.

It is not an easy task to describe this thing.Most regrettably, my camera and photos were lost in one of several near-deaths in the future.Otherwise, if the photos are preserved, there is no need to spend too much ink, just log out these few photos, and readers can see the whole picture of the strange thing. The thing is irregular, absolutely irregular, and there is hardly any symmetry in it.It is six feet high, and the most protruding part is a spherical protrusion in the middle. At first glance, the round protrusion looks like Maitreya Buddha's big belly.But since the other parts bear no resemblance to the Buddha statue, I am sure that it is not a Buddha statue, but just an unknown object.

Above and below the ball, there are stacks of overlapping and irregular metals.The irregular shape is like some Western Impressionist sculptors smashing cars together and stacking them together.It's also a bit like a strange shape formed by melting a ton of tin and pouring it into cold water. Among such a pile of metal, there are several metal round tubes protruding out. The round tubes are hollow, and they have obviously been broken by violent force. Some of the fractures are flat, and some are cracked.Among such inexplicable piles of metals, the ball with a diameter of about three feet has a very smooth surface, which is naturally eye-catching. I tried to push it with my hand, and the ball was able to move a little bit, but the movement The magnitude is not large.I tried to push the whole thing, but with all my strength, nothing happened.

It was a rather strange experience indeed, with no one in sight, and me in such a strange, temple-like little room, facing such a queer thing! After pushing the ball, I tried in vain to detach something from the thing.I went to look at the places where there was reflection in the photo just now.Each of those places is only the size of a palm, and it is a kind of black and shiny, very smooth plane, and I don't know what it is.One of them was at the bottom. Since I was standing on that big rock, I had no choice but to bend down to have a look.And just as I was concentrating on observing, I suddenly heard angry cries from several people behind me. Before I could straighten up, I was hit hard on the back of the head.

I am a person who has received strict Chinese martial arts training. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to attack me from behind.But at that time, this thing in front of me was so strange that I was looking at it with all my heart, trying to figure out what it was.And there is no one around, I can swear that no one has opened the door of the stone house, the person who attacked me, I don't know where it came from!So I couldn't dodge the blow.And the strength of this blow was so heavy that in an instant, he passed out without even a chance to feel the pain.When I felt the extreme sting, it was after I woke up after passing out.

I don't know how long I've been in a coma, but when I woke up again, the sharp pain in the back of my head made me involuntarily open my mouth and want to cry out loudly.But I didn't cry out.Because as soon as I woke up, I heard a very rough and angry shout. Whether I heard this shouting first, or opened my eyes first, and saw the complete darkness in front of me, I can't remember clearly afterwards.I just remember a sharp pain in the back of my head, and then my eyes and ears regained function and I saw the dark. Just as I was wondering to whom the old man was calling, and what his words meant, I heard another voice.The man's voice was full of fear: I never stole a holy thing, you wronged me, I never stole a holy thing at all!

As soon as this person's voice came to my ears, I couldn't help being startled!This person's voice sounded very familiar, and he must have heard it before, but for a while, he couldn't remember it.And when I wanted to concentrate and think about it, there was another sharp pain in the back of my head, so I had to slowly stretch out my hand to press on the painful place. When my hand touched the back of my head, it was a large wet and sticky piece. It's serious, and there may have been a lot of blood. The old man's voice was still shouting: You didn't steal the holy object?Who is that?

The voice said: I don't know, I really didn't, I was wronged. When I heard this, although I didn't recognize who the voice belonged to, I sighed secretly in my heart, because I was almost sure that the person was lying! Whether a person is lying or not, no matter how cleverly he conceals it and how impassioned he pretends to be, experienced people can tell it right away.This person is lying.It seems that the old man was right in accusing this person, this person had indeed stolen holy objects. While thinking about it, I tried my best to connect what I heard so far with what happened to me, but I realized that the matter had nothing to do with me, so why did I receive such a heavy blow?

At this moment, the old man's voice suddenly softened, and he sighed: Ba Yin, it's not that I doubt you, but our family. Up to now, there are only you and me. Our family, Has an extremely sacred mission, you know it! In an instant, my heart suddenly lit up, and I remembered!Bain!I have heard the name of this Nepalese. He is the guy who stopped my jeep halfway, spoke bad English, and sold antiques to me! At that time, I still didn't know why the matter was related to me, and the old man's words were hard to understand.Nepal is an ancient country, and all ancient nations have their own legends.Bai Yin and the old man may belong to a clan with only two people left. They are talking about things in their own clan, which of course I cannot understand.

Only Debain said: Yes, I know, since I was sensible, I have known it! The old man said: That's good, I believe you, but there is indeed one thing missing from the sacred object, you really didn't steal it? In the darkness, I heard Bayin's rustling breathing, and heard him say, "Of course it wasn't me. Look, someone broke in. Maybe he stole it. He stole it once and came again." Second time! In an instant, I couldn't help but get angry.I have long heard that Bain is lying.Moreover, he once blatantly sold antiques to me. The real antiques he called may be the sacred objects in the mouth of the old man. Now he is so despicable that he relies on my head. I have decided to give him a bit of trouble for this damn guy. And just as I was considering what action to take, things suddenly took another drastic turn. I still can't see anything, but the voices in the dark seem to be very clear.I heard the old man sigh again, followed by two soft pats, as if the old man had patted Ba Yin's shoulder twice. It seemed that the old man had completely believed Ba Yin's words. At this moment, I was about to yell loudly to expose Ba Yin's lies, but I opened my mouth, and suddenly, I heard the old man let out a shrill cry, and then, Ba Yin couldn't help it. The sound of gasping for breath, and the sound of his footsteps staggering backwards.The old man yelled and yelled, but his voice became weaker and weaker. It was clear that he had suffered a serious injury, and from Bayin's panic-filled panting, the old man's injury was obviously caused by Bayin. ! In the darkness, I can't know for sure what kind of injury the old man suffered, but guessing, it is very likely that Ba Yin stabbed the old man by surprise!This sudden change really terrified me.I always thought of Ba Yin as a cunning person, but I never thought that he could be so cruel! This change made me reassess my situation.If Bain killed the old man, he would not care about killing one more person.Of course, I won't tell him to do it so easily, but now I don't even know where I am, so it's still beneficial to continue pretending to be unconscious! I still controlled my breathing and tried not to make any sound. I could only hear the old man's and Bain's panting alternately in the darkness, and the old man's breath gradually became weaker.Then, there was a long sigh, and the old man opened his mouth in a trembling voice: Ba Yin, you killed me, you stole the sacred object! Bain didn't answer, but his breath became more rapid.The trembling voice of the old man continued: Ba Yin, you must retrieve the sacred object. You are the only one left in our family. You have a heavy responsibility. You must retrieve the sacred object! The old man didn't mean to blame Bain, but kept reminding Bain of his responsibilities. When I heard it very strangely, I suddenly heard Bain scream like crazy: I can't get it back, I've already Sold to others!I won't look for them either, I still need to figure out how many sacred objects there are in total, and I will sell them to others one by one! The old man's joints rattled, and he said sharply: "No!"you can't you can't Bain's voice was gradually approaching, obviously he was walking forward, his voice sounded like gnashing of teeth: I can!After you die, everything here is mine, I can, and I must! The old man let out a cry of despair, followed by panting for a while, and then said: Ba Yin, you can do whatever you want, anyway, it has been so many years, you can do whatever you like, but you must never be here If there is any light here, you must remember that there must be no light His voice became weaker and weaker. In the end, he was just repeating the word Guangming. Finally, he let out his last breath and died! At this time, the weirdness in my heart really reached the extreme! The old man didn't seem to care about his own death, and he even gave up insisting on selling all the holy relics when Bayin said.But what he couldn't forget before he died was that there must be no light here, why is that?What exactly is here?Why can't there be light?If there is light, what will be the result? While thinking quickly, I stretched out my hand to gently stroke and touch the ground.It is very rough stone, it looks like a cellar, so why can't there be light in a cellar? I didn't continue to think about it, because Bain's piercing laughter interrupted my thoughts. Bain laughed for a full two minutes before I heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. The sound gradually faded away, and after about twenty feet away from me, there was a creaking sound of opening the door, but there was still darkness in front of my eyes, but it suddenly fell silent. I figured that Bain had dragged the old man's body out of a door, I hurriedly stood up, stepped back, opened my hands, and waved them lightly, in order to run into something in the dark and avoid it. The place I was in seemed to be empty. I stepped back about ten feet, and my back touched the stone wall. I touched it with my backhand, and it was also a very rough stone.My original estimate was good: it was in a cellar. I collected myself, the stabbing pain in the back of my head was still severe, I thought Bain would definitely come back again, in order to deal with him, I had to figure out the terrain where I was.I touched my body, the lighter was still there, so I took it out immediately.As soon as I took the lighter in my hand, the moment I pressed it down with my finger, I seemed to have heard the warning from the old man when he was dying, not to make any light here, absolutely not! I never understand why there can't be any light here, but the tone used by the old man when he was dying makes people believe that if there is light here, it will definitely cause a great disaster. The finger pressing on the lighter, involuntarily, let go.And when I decided to take a look with a lighter, there was no chance, and I heard the door open again, and Bain's footsteps coming forward. Bain had already disposed of the old man's body, and now that he's back, he probably thought I hadn't woken up. I waited with bated breath, and heard Bain's footsteps coming and going. I stood against the stone wall, listening to Bain's muttered curses.Five minutes later, the opportunity I had been waiting for finally arrived.I heard Bain's footsteps within my reach, I stretched out my hand abruptly, first slashed down with my palm, and then stretched out my hand to grab it. Judging from the feeling in my hand, I caught one of his arm. Bain cried out immediately, and when he screamed, he gave me a precise target. I punched him on the head, and the body I grabbed immediately went limp.I grabbed his head with my hand and dragged him forward.I heard the sound of the door opening and closing twice just now, so I remember the direction. I dragged him out for seven or eight steps, reached out to feel it, and found an extremely smooth surface. I stretched out my hand and pushed it. Door.I walked out the door, and it was still pitch black outside.I walked ten steps forward and felt that I was walking upwards in a slanting corridor.After about ten steps, I stepped onto one stone step, and then another twenty steps. At the end of the stone step, I pushed open another door and saw the light. The light I saw was very weak, but it was enough for someone who just came out of the extreme darkness.What I saw was a candle, and under the light of the candle, I saw that it was a stone room about two hundred square feet.Like the stone house I walked into before I was attacked, it was all made of very neat and smooth stone blocks, and there was a stone step leading to the top.I saw that half-burned candle was placed on the ground, and not far from the candle was a dead man, wearing traditional Nepalese clothes, very old, with a Nepalese machete stuck in his In my heart, of course it was the old man. When I arrived in this stone room, I let go of my hand, and let Bai Yin's head hit the ground with a bang. Then I tore off a new piece of clothing, and tied the wound on the back of my head tightly. stand up. At this moment, Bai Yin also woke up.He opened his eyes and saw me with a look of extreme fear. His reaction was also very quick. When he saw me, he didn't even stand up, but put his hands on the ground, rolled and fell, and fled outside.Seeing him escaping in such a panic, I thought he had murdered someone and his conspiracy was exposed, so I was afraid.However, what Bain did next was completely beyond my expectation. After avoiding me by about ten feet, he fixed his gaze on me, put his hands on the ground, and slowly stood up, his expression still extremely astonished, but he opened his mouth, his words stammered a bit , using Nepali dialect: Are you alive?Why do you look so scary?Why are you still like this after you came back to life? I was stunned for a moment, I believe that no one can understand what Bai Yin is talking about under such circumstances, and I am naturally no exception.And because of his nonsense, I didn't know how to deal with him for a while.After I was stunned for a while, I yelled: Ba Yin, you killed someone! I stared at him with a stern expression, and pointed at the old man's body.I think that no matter how cunning a murderer is, he should panic in the face of my accusation! But Bai Yin's reaction was still very strange. Suddenly, he showed an extremely indescribable expression, that expression, as if there was a mystery in his heart that could not be solved for a long time, and suddenly he had the answer.His expression was more excited than frightened.He actually completely ignored my accusation of killing him, instead he stretched out his hand to point at me, and said sharply: "Where did you get the light out?" By this time, I was really stunned. Bain's words didn't sound like he was deliberately diverting the target, and he really thought I had made light there.Naturally, that was the place where he killed people, that is, the place where the deceased had warned him that before he died, there must be no light at all! For a split second, my thoughts were in such turmoil that I didn't know what to do with him.And at this moment, Ba Yin uttered another cry, turned around and rushed up the stone steps! This way, it was easier for me to deal with it, and I immediately screamed and ran up.Bain ran very fast, like him, a short Nepalese who is used to living in the mountains, moved extremely fast, and I tried my best to catch up.When he ran up the stone steps, I also ran up the stone steps. The stone steps lead straight up, passing one after another of the same stone houses, at least seven. At this time, the surprise in my heart was really indescribable. Those stone chambers seemed to have a history of at least several hundred years, and its construction project was so huge. It is hard to imagine how people with only simple tools built those stone chambers layer by layer underground. of! Bain's movements were always fast, while I slowed down because of the severe pain in the back of my head.But I gritted my teeth and followed suit.After running out of the last stone room, I came to the stone room that looked like a temple but not a temple. Bain rushed out of the door immediately, and I immediately chased after him. As soon as I got out of the door and reached the flat ground, Bain moved faster. Several times because of the severe pain in the back of my head, I really wanted to give up and stop chasing.I don't know how far I chased.In the dark wilderness, Bain and I ran one after the other, until a car drove up in front of me, and I started to yell. Strangely, Bain also started to yell.Two people jumped out of the car, they looked like tourists, they obviously couldn't understand what Bain was calling, I panted and ran forward, shouting: "Grab him!"He's a murderer, catch him! As soon as the two men heard my call, they immediately reached out and grabbed Bain.At this time, I also saw clearly that the two who got out of the car were Europeans, and they were very tall.As soon as Ba Yin was caught by them, he switched to English and shouted at me, "Don't listen to him, he is no longer human!"He is not human! After chasing for at least an hour and enduring excruciating pain, I couldn't take it any longer to hear Bain's nonsense. I rushed over, punched him hard on the cheek, and he calmed down. . Those two Europeans stopped me and didn't let me do it again. I gasped: Please take me to the hospital and hand over the murderer to the police station. I can fully testify that he killed someone! Those two Europeans were quite cooperative. I later learned that they were members of a climbing team.But because these two people have nothing to do with the future development of the story, they are omitted. The two men escorted Ba Yin into the car, and Ba Yin still had a strange expression on his face. He obviously didn't care about his murder charge at all, and just looked at me with an extremely strange expression. At dawn, when we arrived in Kathmandu, they sent me to the hospital first.When I got to the hospital, I saw the mirror, and I was taken aback suddenly. It turned out that the wound on the back of my head was much heavier than I imagined, and the blood was flowing all over my face.The bloodstains turned ocher red after drying, looking very terrifying.Originally, I was puzzled by Bai Yin's strange reaction, but when I saw my face, I thought it might be because my face covered in blood was too scary, so Bai Yin had a strange reaction . The doctor sewed eight stitches on the back of my head. The doctor insisted that I stay in the hospital, but I insisted on being discharged.The doctor couldn't hold back, so he had to let me out of the hospital.When I got back to the hotel, I was so exhausted that I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep before I could sort out what happened to me all day and night! Among the medicines given to me by the doctor, there may be sedatives, so I slept for a very long time. When I woke up again, I was refreshed. I stretched out my hand and pressed it on the back of my head, and the pain relieved a lot. , then, I opened my eyes.After I opened my eyes at that time, I really didn't think I had woken up, but thought I was still in a dream, because the scene that appeared before my eyes was really unbelievable!I saw twenty soldiers in very distinctive uniforms in my room.Two other officers, in more splendid uniforms, stood by my bed.Among the two officers stood a middle-aged man who was wearing traditional Nepalese clothing and was extremely elegantly groomed. You may wish to think about it, my hotel room is not big, when I go to sleep, there is only one person, and when I wake up, suddenly there are so many people in front of me, how can I not think that I am dreaming? I moved my lips and muttered something meaningless, and when I was about to lie down again, the middle-aged man took a step forward, came to my bed, and said to me very politely: "I'm sorry to bother you." We've been waiting for you to wake up! I was stunned, and I stretched out my hand, and I could touch the slightly protruding belly of the middle-aged man, which meant that, indeed, there was a person standing in front of my bed.Since this person is real, then of course the rest of the officers and soldiers are also real!This is not a dream!But it was even weirder than a dream.I made up my mind, I don't know exactly what happened, but I can be sure of one thing: those people didn't mean any harm to me.I took a deep breath: what is this?Is it a traditional etiquette for Nepalese to visit guests?Your Excellency is The middle-aged man rubbed his hands with a sorry expression: I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.Mr. Wei, a very high-ranking person wants to see you, and he sent me to invite you.He must be waiting impatiently, can you go see him as soon as possible? I stayed for a while longer.The first impression that the middle-aged man gave me was that he had a very high status, but now he is only sent by someone. So, who is it that wants to see me?When the middle-aged man mentioned that person, his tone was very respectful, but he obviously deliberately avoided mentioning his identity.Since the other side has sent so many people to invite me, I'm afraid I won't be able to if I don't go.And the curiosity in my heart has also reached the extreme: Why do some prominent people want to see me? As I got out of bed, I reached out and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder jokingly: Who wants to see me?Is it your king? I really said it casually, but as soon as I said it, the middle-aged man was shocked suddenly, and the officers and soldiers behind him also stood at attention with serious expressions. I was taken aback by their actions, I knew it immediately, I said it jokingly, and it hit the spot!This is really incredible, the king of Nepal wants to see me, why? Seeing the reverence the people in the room showed when I mentioned the king made me feel ashamed to ask further questions.And at this time, I can also be sure, no wonder the uniforms of these soldiers are so distinctive, they must be the king's guards, and the middle-aged man is probably a high-ranking official. I washed my face, but the gauze on my head couldn't be removed, so I had to keep it tied, got dressed, and went downstairs with them. Everyone in the hotel lobby looked at us with very surprised eyes. I boarded the luxury car parked in front of the hotel, the middle-aged man was sitting next to me, and I thought to myself: The king wants to see me, is it because I caught a murderer for their country?Maybe there are very few murders here, so if one murderer is caught, he can be received by the king?If it is for this reason, then the king should have received me twice, and I at least know another murderer: the Sinney who stabbed Bai Lai in the heart and killed Bai Lai! The car drove towards the palace quickly, and soon entered the forbidden line. When the guards along the way saw the car approaching, they all saluted.The car drove all the way into the buildings of the palace before stopping.
