It is said that in Shentang Bay, every cloudy day, there will be Yin soldiers practicing military tactics at the bottom of the valley.
However, this statement has always been considered a mysterious legend. In addition, no one has set foot in the valley of Shentang Bay so far, so everyone has always listened to it as a legend.
I didn't expect to hear it with my own ears today.
Now that the rain has completely stopped, the six of us also took off our clothes that were soaked by the rain, then put on clean clothes, put on waterproof boots, and prepared to walk down to where Andrew originally planned to go.
Rest overnight on the small platform 150 meters away from the top of the valley.
Just when we were ready to go down, suddenly a melodious flute sound came from the valley.
The sound of the flute sounded very familiar. It seemed to be the song I heard in the kitchen that night at the Poyang Lake Laoye Temple.
Several people in our group stopped.
Who is playing the flute in this deep mountain forest in the middle of the night? Besides, it just rained heavily, so there will definitely be no tourists in this valley.
The only possibility is that there is another team with the same nature as ours trekking in the mountains.
But the only way into the valley is the one we are taking now, but we have not met anyone along the way, and we have not seen any traces of human activities in the valley.
"Zhou, do you think this piece of music is familiar to you?"
Andrew, the old fox, also heard it, and now he frowned and said to me.
"It's a bit familiar," I replied vaguely.
"I mean, this tune seems to be the same tune that Xiangyu played on the bone flute when he was trying to drive away the angel long-tailed silkworm chrysalis at the bottom of Poyang Lake." Andrew looked at me with a somewhat complicated expression.
After he said this, I felt like I suddenly had an enlightenment. Although I don't know for the moment whether this tune is the same as the one Xiangyu played at the bottom of the lake, it must have been played by the bone flute.
Although I am not very good at music, I have a very strong ability to identify timbres. The reason why I felt that the sound of the flute was so familiar just now was not due to the rhythm of the flute, but to the timbre.
During my adventure in Poyang Lake, I heard the playing of bone flutes four times, three of which were to drive away or summon animals, so I secretly called people who can play bone flutes animal tamers.
Could it be that the flute music that is currently ringing in my ears is also an animal trainer controlling a certain animal?
Listening carefully, the sound of the flute seems to come from the cliff on the opposite side.
Suddenly, I thought of what Pedro had just said. The cliff opposite was covered with skulls, and those skulls were covered with iron worms.
Thinking of this, I immediately told Andrew to ask everyone to turn on the hernia lamps in their hands, and then shine the light on the opposite cliff.
What we didn't expect was that when the hernia lamp in our hands shone on the opposite cliff, the scene that appeared on it would actually be like this -
We saw angel-tailed silkworms flying all over the sky, and each one had this iron worm in its mouth.
My first reaction was that Xiangyu was also in this valley, because I saw her driving away those butterflies at the bottom of Poyang Lake.
So I believe that since she has the ability to drive the butterflies away, she can also call them back.
"Andrew, let a few of them stand in a row, and then use the hernia lamp in your hand to slowly shine down from above on the cliff," I said to Andrew, who was standing next to me.
Andrew probably knew what I was thinking. After he chatted with the big guys, the four of them stood at the edge of the place we were in like a military posture, and then the four hernia lamps
At the same time, it was illuminated in the same direction and on the same horizontal plane.
At this point, I have to say that the person Andrew found really has very powerful abilities, which is beyond my reach.
However, the distance between where we are standing and the opposite cliff should be several hundred meters or more. In addition, it is consumed by the valley in the middle, so the light of the xenon lamp is not very bright when it actually shines on the opposite cliff.
Although the light was not very strong, I could still vaguely see four ropes on the opposite cliff. At the bottom of the ropes, there was a person hanging on each side. They were fully armed and entered Shentang Bay in another way.
.
The distance was too big and the light was too dim, so I couldn't be sure whether Xiangyu was inside.
"Zhou, do you think one of those four people is Xiangyu?" Andrew stood behind me and suddenly made a voice, which startled me.
"I'm not sure, but as a girl in Xiangyu, I feel like she can't do such a high-intensity exercise. Besides, no one knows how deep the valley is. If the rope disappears halfway through the slide, but it doesn't reach the bottom,
Isn’t it very dangerous?”
I no longer trust Andrew, so I didn't express my true thoughts.
In fact, I think one of those four people must be from Xiangyu.
Also, Zhou Lan and Chen Mo are also inside.
"Zhou, don't underestimate Xiangyu. This little girl is not simple." Andrew looked at me and said.
Judging from the look and tone of his words, you shouldn't be able to tell that I'm lying.
"Oh, it's not that simple. If you tell me, I think she is just a yellow-haired girl," I said with a smile.
"Zhou, we still follow the original plan and rest for the night at 150 meters, and then go down again at dawn." Andrew said, then turned around and said a few words to the four big guys next to him.
Two of them put away the hernia lamp, and then automatically divided into two groups, standing around us one behind the other.
"Zhou, let's talk while walking, otherwise this mountain road will be too boring."
Andrew said, pulling me down.
"Xiang Yu has been joining the astrolabe research team for about two years. From the beginning, he has been diligent and provided us with a lot of information about the astrolabe, which has made great progress in our research on the astrolabe."
As Andrew spoke, he used the small long iron rod in his hand to fiddle with the flowers and plants on the side.
I snorted coldly and didn't answer.
But Andrew was not affected by my attitude and continued: "But, just this summer, she said she would go back to China to attend the funeral of her university professor. When she left, she handed over the final report of our research group on astrolabe research.
Important information was taken away."
Andrew's words made my eyes light up, and I hurriedly asked: "What kind of information is it?"
"This information is very confidential. Even I don't know what the specific content is. It is kept by the National Supreme Security Bureau. I don't know how this girl got it." Andrew said, with an expression on his face. A little frustrated. "Furthermore, for the sake of confidentiality, after this material was sent to the Security Bureau, all other research information about this material by other personnel who participated in the compilation of this material was destroyed, so currently the only one in the world That share is in Xiangyu’s hands.”
After hearing this, I couldn't help but cheer for Xiangyu in my heart: Well done, Xiangyu, for using the resources of the United States for his own research. He is truly worthy of being a descendant of the Yufu tribe.
"So, do you want to arrest Xiang Yu when you come to China this time?" I looked at Andrew and asked seriously.
"No, the highest authority of the astrolabe research team ordered it. If we don't pursue that matter, I'm actually at a loss." Andrew said.
It is not like the American style to not pursue such a big matter.
Are they trying to reap the benefits?
What's more, the theft of this top secret about the astrolabe may also be part of their plan to reap the benefits?
Could it be that Xiangyu is just a pawn for them?
If this is really the case, then Zhou Lan and Chen Mo are now in the same team as Xiang Yu, and I wonder if they will be in danger.
No, we must quickly reach the bottom of the valley to meet them, and then ask Xiangyu about this matter carefully.
At this time, Pedro and Geely, who had been exploring the road ahead, suddenly stopped.
Geely took two steps back to us, and then said to us in broken Chinese: "We have arrived at the first platform of Shentang Bay."
