Chapter 30: The Transit of the Underworld
There is another popular story about this version, which tells of the first group of troops to participate in the disaster relief in the Tangshan earthquake. They received orders from their superiors to go to the disaster relief, and when they were still one hour away from the disaster area in Tangshan, all the cars of their whole regiment broke down on the side of the road. At that time, all the people were very anxious because all the technicians could not find out what was wrong with the cars. At about 8:00 p.m., the headlights of the cars suddenly went out, and the team suddenly received an order from above to move the cars back to the right side of the road, and at about 8:15 p.m. they ordered all the men to get into the cars, and not to talk or move no matter what they saw, and so they sat in the cars until late at night. When they were half asleep they were awakened by a rumbling of horses' hoofs, when they were sitting in the cab and saw skimming past their car one carriage after another, which were coming from the direction of the disaster area of Tangshan. We should know that the soldiers were all about 20 years old, in good health, and had absolutely no problem with their eyesight, but at this time they could only see one carriage after another, but they just couldn't see the people who drove the carriages, and they just saw a clear light (glowing a light green color) on each carriage, and what the carriages were loaded with were the heads of human beings, which were piled up on each carriage. Those wagons passed about 15 minutes total about 100 of them. When all the wagons had passed they started them up again, and a little bit later they were on their way again and someone estimated that about 200,000 people had died in the earthquake, and it was later verified that it was indeed 200,000 people. This matter was later spread, there are people who know how to say that this kind of thing is called the transit of the shadowy soldiers.
There is also a folk version of the legend, saying that the "transit of the shadowy soldiers" is the King of Hell patrolling in the Yangwang world, so to lead a team of shadowy soldiers to open the way. It is said that the living encounter this matter, it is best to crouch on the ground, do not look up or look back, or will be the Yin soldiers blowing out the shoulders of the Yang fire, later will be very sick, and even rumors of the Yin soldiers to take away.
Of course, there are many different folk versions, so I won't go into them here. But no matter which version about the transit of the Yin Soldier is, it all illustrates its terror and horror.
Seeing the black mist continuously surging over to our side, Fatty was scared and kept chanting, "It's over, when the Yin soldiers come, we will be finished, the king of hell won't let the living people who see them live."
Old Hu swallowed his saliva and turned his head to ask me, "Half Immortal, what do you think should be done about this? I've been in the grave robbing business for some years now, and I've encountered a lot of strange and bizarre things, and although this is the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, I've heard it from the old generation before, and if we always hide here and don't hurry to escape, it's really hard to escape from death."
Listening to the old Hu, it is obvious that they do not agree with this dry hiding. I sighed and said, "This is also the only way out, except that we will die even faster if we escape, because these Yin soldiers have scouts. If by any chance we are discovered by their scouts, no one will fucking want to get off the mountain alive at that time."
Hearing me say this, Old Hu and Fatty also understood that I was doing this for their own good, so they didn't dare to make any more noise, lying dead on the ground, and in their hearts, they could only pray to the gods to bless the Yin soldiers to not find them.
At this moment, the black fog has spread to the top of the mountain where we are, and the valley side also began to come from the sound of horses neighing, sound straight let a person shiver ......
We all know that those Yin soldiers are about to come over, so we are honestly lying behind the stone, do not dare to move, and even dare not breathe a little atmosphere.
About a few minutes later, the fat man suddenly pointed down the hill and lowered his voice and called out, "Fuck, look, what is that?"
Old Hu and I rushed to lie on the stone to observe the mountain, only to see several black shadows are scurrying to our mountain. These black shadows were like monkeys climbing the rocks, or jumping up and down on the trees on both sides of the road, and we shuddered at the sight.
"I think that might be the open road scouts for the Yin soldiers?" I said with uncertainty.
"Fuck, I didn't realize that there was really such a thing as a shadowy soldier crossing the road in the world. What's even more unexpected is that this motherfucker has turned into a ghost and still maintains this style of combat, are they still afraid of encountering other teams of Yin soldiers?" Old Hu swindled, his face full of shock.
I did not answer him, because I also encountered this kind of thing for the first time, the reason why I knew before that the Yin soldiers would have open road scouts, that is only heard grandpa talk about, but before that also only stayed at the point of half-belief.
The black pressure of the black fog is also getting closer and closer to us, we can already clearly hear the marching gongs and drums coming from the valley, as well as the noisy hoofbeats and armor collision sound, we know that the Yin soldiers really came ......
The three of us at this time do not know whether it is scared, or because it is too shocked, in short, the three of us are no one to speak again, the two eyeballs just staring at the valley below with dead eyes.
What we saw and heard was too sensational, as if we were back in an ancient battlefield. All we saw were the black and heavy ranks wearing black iron armor, and what we heard through the sound of the war drums was the sound of neat and orderly footsteps and thunderous hoofbeats. Which person in today's society has ever seen or heard of this kind of scene? Even if it was a movie, it must not have this kind of momentum, right?
In the black fog, the front of the procession vaguely erected two black flag, because there is still some distance, so can not see what words written on the two black flag. I asked Lao Hu them, can you see the words above the flag, Lao Hu two people are shaking their heads and said that the distance is too far to see too clear. Finally, Fatty suddenly had a bright idea, said we have binoculars, with that thing must be able to see clearly.
So I told him to take out the binoculars, and then he took out the binoculars from his bag and looked over to the valley. But he looked for a while, only to see him frowning and not replying for a long time. I waited anxiously, so he urged to ask him to see clearly did not, which know the fat man will telescope down, full of astonishment said: "Damn, really see ghost, this telescope simply can not see anything."
"What? Can't be?" Old Hu first do not believe it, from the hands of the fat man will telescope snatched over, and then put a few times, the same face full of dare not to believe: "This thing really can not see the Yin soldiers, the valley in the tree can see clearly, only can not see the Yin soldiers in the valley, and even that full of the valley's black fog can not be seen."
"Shit, is it really that evil?" I was also very surprised, took over the binoculars to take a look, as they said nothing can be seen.
Old Hu two people saw me throw the binoculars on the ground, asked me: "How, can not see it?"
"It seems that the telescope can only see the Yang things, like this kind of Yin soul things can not be seen. Although the flag can't be seen, but this is also more proof that what we encountered is by no means a living person, but a real army of ghosts." I said gruffly.
In fact, I had heard my grandfather tell me in the past that sometimes if you can't tell for a moment if you've hit something evil, you can use other objects to watch. For example, in the middle of the night in the mountains encountered strangers or fire, you can use their own thin clothes to identify, lift up their own thin clothes pick up in front of their eyes, and then go to look at the people in front of them or the fire, if through the thin clothes they can still be seen, then encountered a person is a living person, and those fires are also normal yang fire. On the other hand, if you look at them through the thin clothes, but how can not see, then be careful, because the person is not alive, but met a ghost, and the fire itself is also a ghost fire.
Returning to the subject, after all this, the shadowy soldiers had begun to march into the valley directly below us. Just visible in the valley was a black torrent, headed by hundreds of soldiers and generals on warhorses, followed by soldiers on foot. They all wore black iron armor, and each of them carried a green lamp in their hands, and those green lamps flickered in the black fog, bright and dark, adding a weird and horrifying atmosphere to this team of shadowy soldiers.
What is even more horrible is that the soldiers and generals in these teams do not have heads! Yes, no head, because when we saw through the faint green light emitted from their hand clearing lamps, each of them held a head armor in their hands, while the top of their necks were bare and flat, obviously these people were headless, so they held the head armor in their hands.
Seeing this scene, Fatty was the first to be shocked and screamed in horror, "He ...... they don't have brains!"
I did not expect the fat man will be at this time to send out screams, so scared me straight busy a hand to cover his mouth, scolded him is not idle life long, at first glance whirring want to find death ah.
Old Hu also flew out a kick in the fat man's ass, scolded him is not want to kill everyone.
The fat man was beaten and scolded by both of us, also knew that he was wrong, but he still relieved himself and said: "I didn't do it on purpose, just suddenly saw this scared. Furthermore, don't you guys think these ghosts aren't scary? All headless and still walking neatly, it's just too spooky!"
"Don't say that you're the one who hangs out with me, seeing some headless corpses scares you like this, as if you're still a grave robber." Speaking of anger, Old Hu flew another kick at Fatty's butt, but this time, Fatty dodged it smartly.
Of course, Old Hu was actually curious, so when Fatty finished asking, he also turned his head to look at me.
I told them, "Maybe they all had their heads chopped off when they were alive, because in ancient times, military service was emphasized, and with military service you could get reward money, and also get promoted in rank, and this military service was calculated according to the head, so in ancient times on the battlefields, they would all cut off the heads of the enemy, and hang them on their own bodies on strings of straw, and wait to go back to remember the military service."
"So it seems that these Yin Spirits are all soldiers and generals who died in battle in ancient times. But after hundreds and thousands of years, they can still continue to march and fight like this as when they were alive, it's also too damn weird!" Fatty did not forget to continue to be amazed. Yes, thousands of ancient battlefield dead soldier souls, at this time, although each have no head, but can still line up in a neat and tidy queue forward, and also fucking marching scouts have, but also really let a person marvel, and perhaps they themselves do not know that they have died it!
We did not discuss this headless problem in depth, because at this time is not the time to discuss these issues, after all, make a sound by the valley below the Yin soldiers heard, then we three will have to hiccup.
