Yama Rising - 645

“I don’t know if you have heard of Lake Natron?” Abra suddenly changed the subject and said.

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

“The River Styx…The River Styx in Tanzania… Tourists from all over the world call it that. On this red lake, there are bird corpses floating-my lord, unlike you think, these corpses…they Just as if they were alive, some even made a posture of combing their feathers, becoming a rotten empty shell floating on the lake. There are too many pictures of Lake Natron on the Internet, you can take a look.”

Qin Ye nodded slightly, living in Yangjian for too long, he learned a lot of fragmented knowledge. Although the name of Lake Natron is unfamiliar, it can be recalled when you think about it.

On the crimson lake, there are living bird carcasses floating-at least from a distance. When the float gets closer, you can see… Those are all corpses!

The flesh has rotted, maybe there is still a layer of skin wrapped, the inside has become hollow, but the feathers on the body have not fallen off at all! It’s just because of death that it has become dark and black, like a canoe of the undead, wandering scattered on the lake.

“It has something to do with here?”

“There are some.” Abra took a deep breath: “Legend… Every day at five o’clock in the morning, put the corpses wrapped in cowhide into any stream in the ancestral refuge. These corpses will be like the birds on Lake Natron. , Quickly decayed, until it became a mummy! Then… drifted into the underworld!”

He looked at the mountain ahead. It was daytime, but he still felt cold all over: “No one can find where these corpses floated. In history, only three corpses were found. But do you know…”

He shuddered suddenly: “These corpses… have all been stitched!”

“The cowhide has been completely sewn! It seems that there is a mummy in the cow’s belly, but…it is impossible for anyone to seal the cowhide! This is disrespectful to the ancestors! When any corpse is put into a stream, it must be a simple package!”

“Can you imagine? These corpses flowed down, and on the way…something unexpectedly sewed all the cowhide together!”

His voice was almost screaming, and the driver gave them a surprised look. Abra panted and recovered, hoarsely said: “From then on, there is a legend…Every stream in this mountain is a Styx, and they eventually flow to the Hades. The tailors sent by the Holy Spirit stitch the cowhide together and let The deceased were treated with dignity.”

“So…” He exhaled heavily from his nostrils: “There is only one way to enter the Hades of Madagascar.”

Qin Ye rubbed his chin thoughtfully: “Wrap yourself in cowhide and go down the river?”

This is too unfriendly to international tourists, right?

Could this be the disadvantage of not having to reapply for a visa without a passport?

“Yes…” Abra nodded heavily: “The original words of the ancestral guardian who contacted me were: Enter the refuge, wrapped in a corpse, and come to the lake island of the undead, and say his name. Except. There is no other way.”

After a few seconds of silence, Qin Ye threw out a one hundred yuan: “Go, get me a cowhide.”

Sorry, I don’t have any change, I am so proud!

………………………………

At night, the mountain wind was harsh.

Qin Ye and Abra have entered the ancestral refuge without any obstruction.

Qin Ye raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. Indeed, the moon is a full moon, and today is definitely not the time of the full moon. Moonlight was white, even white to a kind of paleness. The trees, streams, and rocks in the mountains are covered with a layer of silver yarn.

Very beautiful, too beautiful to be true, too beautiful to be false.

Because there is no other sound in the whole mountain!

There are no birds, no beasts roar, and even bugs do not exist!

Like a cemetery wandering alone and wild ghosts. I always feel…in the shadows, there is something invisible looking at me unblinking.

He looked at the phone, four to fifty.

Right in front of him, there was a stream, which was already downstream, and in these few hours, they passed by several families upstream that were preparing to release their bodies.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a stream. More precisely, 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 is about three meters above the ground and about fifty meters wide. There is soft wet mud on both sides, with only a three-meter-wide stream in the center. As if… often washed by river water. However, with this kind of mountain flowing water, it is impossible for a flash flood. However, judging from the mud on both sides of the riverbed, this “stream” should have been tens of meters wide.

Qin Ye knelt down and gently pinched a little dirt with his index finger and thumb. 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 wide yesterday, and… with a strong… corpse smell.

Corpse river? Or the smell of Styx itself?

“The world of Yinsi is really more exciting than this official imagined…” He clapped his hands with emotion and stood up: “The major underworlds have their own methods…excellent and quite exciting.”

Abra hugged two pieces of cowhide and followed him closely. His face became paler in the moonlight, and he looked around nervously, his mind was chaotic.

Hades…The kingdom of death that has been extolled for so long, and where the Holy Spirit is, now…I really want to embark on this magical journey?

He felt that everything went in the wrong direction after encountering this Chinese country.

Boom… At this moment, he slammed into Qin Ye’s back, trembling all over, almost limp to the ground. His chest was undulating sharply, and a few seconds later, he tremblingly asked, “My lord, my lord?”

Qin Ye didn’t speak, but squinted his eyes to look forward.

There was a pile of skulls.

It was hazy, the bright moon was so bright, but I couldn’t see what was behind. As if… the pile of human bones is a line, a dividing line between yin and yang.

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

“Waterfall.” Qin Ye said affirmatively.

Silent waterfall.

Here, everything is dead. No sound can be heard even in the waterfall. The sense of sacred ritual, like a giant hand, grasped the heart of every mortal.

The Holy Spirit does not allow all interruptions.

“My lord…” Even a mortal like Abra felt bad at this moment. It was an intuition that was close to death. He was breathing heavily, and he couldn’t help grasping the hem of Qin Ye’s suit.

“There is the end of the Styx River. We are at the bottom of the river, and we will’put the dead’ above, and we will definitely pass by here… prepare.”

He didn’t continue to go down. The underworld that he had to use such a cumbersome method to enter was a process in itself, equivalent to an entry “passport”. The key was not where to put the body, but the process.

“My lord…really, really want to go?” Abra asked tremblingly.

“You don’t have to go.” Qin Ye turned his head and smiled slightly: “Or… the other way?”

Abra bit his lip, never daring to speak again.

“Ding jingle, jingle jingle, jingle bells…” There was silence, and suddenly Qin Ye’s alarm clock rang.

Five o’clock.

Every moment of the devil.

At the same time, a rumbling roar suddenly sounded from this mountain, as if…a flash flood broke out!

It began…the entry procedures of the African underworld…Qin Ye stared around him unblinkingly, he didn’t want to miss the wonderful moment.

Rumbling… the sound got louder and louder, and to the back, it was like the roar of the sea tide, the roaring sound from all directions joined together, and the turbulent waves hit the shore.

Getting closer and faster! After Qin Ye listened for three seconds, his eyes suddenly turned to the upstream position. And Abra also followed his gaze at the same time.

Silvery white.

A piece of silvery white, galloping in the moonlight. There is still a long way to go, this kind of voice… this kind of formation… Abra opened his mouth wide, and his legs limp to the ground: “This… how is it possible?”

That is the wave.

The three-meter-wide stream, at this moment, rushed out waves tens of meters wide, rushing through the mountains and forests like a tsunami! Surge towards the waterfall!

boom–! ! If ten thousand horses run wildly and lead the way, less than five minutes, the wave rushes in front of them, and suddenly the three-meter stream soars into a river that is tens of meters wide. Qin Ye finally understood how those wet riverbeds came from.

However, this is not the most shocking at all, the real horror is…this river water… is full of corpses!

Neatly, as if you were asleep. Put your hands on your chest, spread the cowhide under your body, like lotus leaves supporting the lotus, densely packed, rushing down the river all the way!

All the corpses had their eyes open.

As if wanting to take another look at this world.

Plop…Abra, who just stood up a little bit, has legs as soft as noodles, desperately trying to stand up, but he can’t stand up straight, only muttering to himself like crazy.

“How can this be……”

“This mountain…how could there be such a large water source…no! These corpses…what the hell is going on with these corpses?!”

“How come there are so many corpses! And… and these are all people who have just died! How can people who have just died float on the water! Shouldn’t they sink? This is impossible! This is not true!”

Qin Ye stared at this big river. There seemed to be a lot of corpses, but in fact there were only a few hundred, but the momentum that went down the river was so grand that he had even seen the end of the tide of corpses.

“Prepare.” He took a deep breath and said solemnly.

Abra tremblingly spread the cowhide, Qin Ye grabbed the two cowhides, and when the last row of corpses rushed past, he slammed the cowhide and threw Abra onto it. There was no time to listen to his screams, and he jumped up.

Peng…the moment he lay down on the cowhide, he magically found that the surrounding sounds disappeared again. Even if the river was rushing under him, there was no sound.

Just like a canoe paddling quietly on a quiet lake, you can’t even feel the cowhide moving!

“Has the gate to the underworld opened?” He simply closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the journey of the living dead.
