Yama Rising

"I don't know if you've heard of Lake Natron?" Abra suddenly changed the subject.

The name is a little familiar Qin Ye raised his eyebrows and motioned for the other party to continue.

"The river Styx The Styx in Tanzania Tourists all over the world call it that. In this red lake, there are bird bodies floating - adults, different from what you think, these bodies As if they were alive, some even made the gesture of combing their feathers, and became a rotten shell floating on the lake. There are too many pictures of natron lake on the Internet. You can have a look. "

Qin Ye nodded slightly. He lived in the sun for too long. He learned a lot of fragmented knowledge. Although the name of natron lake is strange, it can be recalled if you think about it.

On the crimson lake, floating like living bird bodies - at least from a distance. When the drift is near, we can see Those are all corpses!

The body has rotten, maybe there is a layer of skin wrapped, the interior has become hollow, but the body's feathers have not fallen off at all! It's just because death becomes dark and black, like a dead man's canoe, wandering on the lake sporadically.

"Has something to do with it?"

"There are some." Abra took a deep breath: "Legend Every day at five o'clock in the morning, the body wrapped in cow hide was put into any stream of the ancestral sanctuary. These corpses, like birds on Lake Natron, decay quickly until they become mummies! Then Float into the underworld

Looking at the mountain ahead, he still felt chilly in the daytime: "no one can find where these bodies have drifted. In history, only three bodies have been found. But do you know... "

He gave a shiver: "these bodies They've all been stitched together! "

"The cowhide has been completely sewn up! It was as if there was a mummy in the cow's stomach, but It's impossible for someone to seal the cowhide! This is disrespect to our ancestors! When any corpse is put into a stream, it must be a simple package! "

"Can you imagine? These bodies are flowing down, and on their way I don't know what sewed all the cowhide together

His voice almost screamed, and the driver looked at them in surprise. Then Abra gasped and recovered, and said hoarsely, "since then, there has been a legend Every stream in this mountain is the river Styx, and they eventually flow to the underworld. The tailors sent by the Holy Spirit sew up the hide, so that the dead can be dignified. "

"So..." He breathed heavily from his nostrils: "there is only one way to enter the underworld of Madagascar."

Qin night rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "wrap yourself with cowhide and go down the river?"

Isn't it too unfriendly for international tourists?

Is this the disadvantage of landing without a passport?

"Yes..." Abra nodded emphatically: "the original words of my ancestral Guardian are: enter the sanctuary, wrap in the corpse's clothes, come to the island of the undead, and say his name. There is no other way. "

Silent for a few seconds, Qin night threw out a piece of 100 yuan: "go, get me a piece of cowhide."

I'm sorry, I don't have any change. I'm so proud!

………………………………

At night, the mountain wind is cold.

Qin ye and Abra have entered the ancestral sanctuary without any obstruction.

Qin Ye looks up at the moon in the sky. Indeed, the moon is the full moon, but today is not the time of the full moon. The moonlight was white, even white to a pale point. Let the trees, streams and stones in the mountains be covered with silver gauze.

Beautiful, unreal, false.

Because there is no other sound in the whole mountain!

No birds, no animals, no insects!

It's like a graveyard haunted by ghosts. I always feel In those shadows, there is something invisible looking at yourself without blinking.

He looked at his cell phone. It's four fifty.

In front of him, there was a stream, which was already downstream. In these hours, they passed several families upstream ready to release the corpses.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a stream. To be more precise, it should be a small river, which has already exceeded the depth of the stream. And the shape of the river bed is very strange.

It's about three meters from the ground and about fifty meters wide. On both sides were soft wet mud, with only a three meter wide stream in the middle. As if It is often washed by the river. However, this kind of mountain water, there is no possibility of flash floods. However, according to the soil on both sides of the river bed, the "stream" should have been tens of meters wide.

Qin night squat down, index finger and thumb gently pinch up a bit of soil. Put it on the tip of your nose and smell it.

Very new

New arrival As if it had only risen to tens of meters yesterday, and With thick The smell of corpse.

Corpse river? Or the taste of the Styx itself?

"The world of the scrotum is really more wonderful than I imagined..." He clapped his hands with emotion and stood up: "each Hades has its own means Wonderful, quite wonderful. "Abra followed him with two cowhide. His face was even whiter in the moonlight, looking around nervously, and his mind was in a mess.

Hell For such a long time, the kingdom of death, where the Holy Spirit is, now Do you really want to embark on this magical journey?

He felt that he had gone in the wrong direction after encountering the evil spirit of China.

Dong At this moment, he suddenly bumped into the back of Qin ye, shivering all over, almost paralyzed on the ground. His chest heaved sharply, and after a few seconds he trembled and asked, "big, adult?"

Qin Ye didn't open his mouth, but squinted at the front.

Right there, there's a human skull pile.

A hazy, bright moon so bright, but just can't see what is behind. As if Human bone pile is a line, a boundary between yin and Yang.

But hundreds of meters away, you can see the rolling waves.

"Waterfall." Qin ye said definitely.

Silent waterfall.

Here, everything is dead. Even the waterfall, there is no sound. The sense of sacred ceremony, like a giant hand, gripped every mortal's heart.

The Holy Spirit does not allow all interruptions.

"My lord..." Even the mortals like Abra feel something bad at the moment. It's an intuition close to death. He breathed heavily and could not help grasping the hem of Qin Ye's suit.

"That's the end of the Styx. We're at the bottom of the river. We'll "release the corpse" on the top. We'll definitely pass by here Get ready. "

He did not continue to go down. To enter the Prefecture by such a tedious method is a procedure in itself, which is equivalent to an entry "passport". The key is not where to put the corpse, but the process.

"My lord Really, really Abra asked, trembling.

"You may not go either." Qin ye turned to smile: "or In another way? "

Abra gritted her lips and did not dare to speak again.

"Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle..." All of a sudden, the alarm clock of Qin night rang.

Five o'clock sharp.

When you meet the devil.

At the same time, the mountain suddenly sounded a roar, as if Flash floods!

Here we go Immigration procedures in African prefectures Qin Ye was staring around without blinking. He didn't want to miss the wonderful moment.

Boom The sound became louder and louder. To the back, it was like the roar of the sea tide. The roaring sound from all directions became a piece, and the waves pounded the shore.

Getting closer and faster! After three seconds, I looked up to Qin's position. And Abra also followed his eyes.

Silver white.

A piece of silver, in the moonlight under the gallop. It's still a long way from them. The sound This situation Abra opened his mouth wide, one leg limp to the ground: "this How could it be? "

That's the wave.

The three meter wide stream, now rushing out tens of meters wide waves, like a tsunami across the mountains! Towards the waterfall!

Boom!! If ten thousand horses gallop, Yin difference lead the way, less than five minutes, that wave suddenly rushed in front of them, suddenly, three meters of the river water burst into tens of meters wide river. Qin Ye finally understood how the wet river bed came into being.

However, this is not the most shocking, the real horror is In this river It's full of bodies!

It's as neat as sleeping. Hands in front of the chest, the cowhide spread out under the body, like lotus leaves holding lotus, dense, down the river all the way crazy!

All the bodies, eyes open.

It's like trying to see the world again.

Plop Just standing up a little bit, Abra's legs are as soft as noodles, trying to get up, but can't stand straight at all, only murmuring madly in his mouth.

"How could this be..."

"In this mountain How could there be such a large water source no These bodies What's going on with these bodies? "

"How can there be so many bodies! And And these are just dead people! How can a dead man float on the water! Shouldn't it sink? It's impossible! It's not true! "

Qin Ye stares at the river. There are many corpses, but in fact there are only a few hundred. However, the momentum of going down the river is too grand. He has even seen the end of the corpse tide.

"Ready." He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Abra gingerly spread out the cowhide. Qin Ye grabbed two pieces of cowhide. As the last row of corpses rushed by, he suddenly threw the cowhide and threw Abra onto it. I didn't have time to listen to his scream, so I jumped up.

Peng Just as he lay down on the cowhide, he miraculously found that the sound around him disappeared again. Even if the river was running under him, there was no sound.

It's quiet, like a canoe on the lake!"Has the gate to Hades been opened?" He simply closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the journey of the living dead.
