Chapter 347: Archaeology
"It can't be an archaeology, right??" Chang Tianbao said his guess, after all, if it was a tomb robber, it would never be possible to bring measuring equipment so blatantly, at most, it would be to use a compass and a Luoyang shovel to locate it.
"Why did the archaeologists come here at this time??" Zhang Chen was even more puzzled, it was too coincidental.
Although he was a little skeptical, Zhang Chen was more inclined to coincidence, thinking of the power of the blood ghosts, he felt the need to remind these people.
So I started looking for these archaeologists.
Finally, on an inconspicuous hill, I found the archaeologists who were mapping and looking for a cemetery.
They were a group of nine people, led by a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses, and a young man in his twenties and thirties next to him, and looking at their appearance, no one returned to work.
This made Zhang Chen sure that the appearance of these people was purely a coincidence.
So Zhang Chen found the middle-aged man who took the lead and told them the simple situation here.
As a result, the man not only didn't believe it, but also became wary of Zhang Chen and the two of them: "Who are you?? Why do you make up such a lie to scare us? ?
As he spoke, he took out the file bag from a briefcase he carried with him, and immediately took out a document from it and said to Zhang Chen and the two of them: "Let me tell you, I attach great importance to this tomb excavation, you tomb robbers, you better leave quickly, otherwise I will call the police and arrest both of you." ”
Seeing the righteous words of the old man, Zhang Chen was angry and funny. What is this?
But if you tell the middle-aged man, there is a fantasy owner from a thousand years ago, who lives by sucking the essence and blood of people.
It is estimated that they will regard themselves as a god stick to propagate feudal ideas, when Zhang Chen is hesitating how to tell them the truth.
Walking up from the bottom of the mountain was an old man with a cane, he was full of silver hair, but his eyes were bright, he looked at Zhang Chen and Chang Tianbao, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Facing the middle-aged man, he said: "Today's measurement is over for the time being, you go to rest first, and I will talk to these two little friends." ”
Although the middle-aged man was reluctant, he did not dare to disobey the old man's wishes, and instructed his colleagues to walk down the mountain.
The old man walked up to Zhang Chen and them, pointed to the stone on the ground and said, "Two little friends, sit down and talk." ”
Listening to the old man's words, Zhang Chen guessed that the old man should have seen something, and sat down according to his words.
Sure enough, he didn't ask, the old man had already pointed at Chang Tianbao and said: "If I guess correctly, this little friend should have been cursed by the blood ghost, so that his body is wrapped in a strange qi, as long as the sun shines, he has no shadow, and his body will be burned by the sun." ”
At a glance, he could know what was going on, which made Zhang Chen realize that the old man was definitely not an ordinary person.
Hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "The old gentleman is right, this friend of mine is indeed corrupted by the blood ghost curse, and we are here to lift this curse." ”
"The blood ghost who can cast this curse has at least a hundred years of cultivation, and the two of you are not opponents, go back, so as not to lose your life here and become each other's puppet corpses. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something: "It seems that someone has spread this time, and it is also ulterior motives to be the tomb of constant temperature here, thanks to the two of us, otherwise we will probably lose a lot this time." ”
After speaking, the old man took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Chen: "Xiaoyou, seeing each other is fate, I can't watch you die, if you want to solve the curse on your friend, this person may be able to help, you just say that Chen Laodao introduced it, he will definitely try his best to help you." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, this matter is really not suitable for more people to be involved. Zhang Chen politely refused.
"Then you can't go to death!!" The old man was obviously a good teacher, and after hearing Zhang Chen's words, he hurried with a cane.
Chang Tianbao also interjected at this time: "Dao Chief, we have our own solution, but you are old, exploring the acupoints in this kind of place where the yin qi is too heavy, but there is a loss of yang longevity, I suggest that you are old or leave." ”
"You ......"
Chen Lao glared at Chang Tianbao angrily, suddenly thought of something, twisted his head to the side angrily, and stopped talking.
It's just that when he turned his head, he kicked Zhang Chen lightly, and while Chang Tianbao was not paying attention, he quickly wrote five words with a cane: "Be careful of the people around you." ”
After being reminded by the old man, Zhang Chen carefully observed and recalled, and suddenly found that since the old man wanted to give him a business card, Chang Tianbao had become a little irritable.
Seeing Zhang Chen see it, the old man got up: "This little friend is right, my age is indeed not suitable for staying in this yin place for a long time, I'll go first, you two can do it yourself." ”
After speaking, the old man turned around and left, and his steps were much faster than when he came.
"It's not easy. Chang Tianbao whispered to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen nodded and didn't speak, because his thoughts were a little complicated at this time, he was already confused, and he didn't know if Chang Tianbao really had other plans.
Zhang Chen calmed down, carefully recalled the conversation between Chen Laodao and Chang Tianbao, and indeed felt that something was wrong, Chang Tianbao in the past was not as sharp as he is now.
"Is there really something wrong with him??"
Just when Zhang Chen was secretly guessing in his heart, Chang Tianbao lightly touched Zhang Chen: "Brother Chen, I see that there is something in that old saying, maybe he knows some inside stories, let's be careful in the future and try to keep a distance from him." ”
Originally, Zhang Chen was skeptical that Chang Tianbao was a little abnormal, but now that Chang Tianbao asked Zhang Chen to keep his distance from that old man, the meaning of these words is intriguing.
In particular, he even said that Lao Dao knows some inside information, and this is your ancestral grave.
Of course, Zhang Chen didn't say these words, but said with a smile: "I think that Dao Chief, there is no malicious intent, Tianbao, you are a little overly nervous." ”
The reason for this cannot be explained in one or two sentences. ”
Chang Tianbao sighed and said: "Brother Chen, this matter is very important, if it can reduce unnecessary trouble, we will try to minimize it, if this matter is expanded, I am afraid it will not end well." ”
Zhang Chen listened to Chang Tianbao's words, and there was some truth, which made him directly blindfolded, and he didn't know who to believe.
"In that case, let's find out their intentions before we make the next step. ”
Zhang Chen could only take a delaying strategy.
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chang Tianbao: "Brother Chen, if this is the case, there will definitely be some twists and turns on the night of the full moon, it is better for us to enter the tomb and change the mechanism that enters the Bagua Array inside, so that the follow-up people, even if they find the tomb entrance, it will take a few days to crack it." ”
"And at that time, we can do what we have to do at this staggered time. ”
Chang Tianbao said so much in one breath, he was clearly organized, and he also had a full understanding of human greed.
It's not like it's being controlled by someone, it seems that it can only be improvised.
"Okay, then let's enter the tomb in advance and set up the formation. ”
Zhang Chen made a decision, Chang Tianbao took out the compass and began to fix the acupoints.
Zhang Chen was stunned again, and just wanted to ask, Chang Tianbao explained: "Although the nineteenth generation ancestor finally went to the evil path, but I also have to admit that he is a genius of the heavens, the mausoleum was designed and built by himself, and the complexity of the process is beyond imagination, and more importantly, outside the tomb, the Zhuge killing array is arranged, and this formation will change with the change of climate and time." ”
"However, after several generations of our efforts, and the study of some tomb formations, we finally figured out the changes in this tomb, but it was only ......"
Speaking of this, Chang Tianbao's eyes were full of anger: "It's just that none of the ancestors who entered the tomb have come back, so that they have gone forward for generations, they are for their descendants, to be able to live as ordinary people, but such a simple request cannot be met, all of this is given by the nineteenth generation of ancestors, he should die, he should be gone." ”
Speaking of this, Chang Tianbao was suddenly stunned, took the compass and turned around the mountain a few times, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Brother Chen, something is not right, this tomb has undergone several changes, and it is very different from the changes that the ancestors found out before." ”
"Could it be that someone touched the formation??"
"It's also possible that someone got instructions from the ancestor inside and modified the formation. Chang Tianbao said his guess.
"Do you suspect that old Tao and these archaeological teams??"
Zhang Chen asked, Chang Tianbao nodded: "There is no one else here who can complete such a large amount of work except them, but I can't figure out why they do this, normally, archaeologists came here to excavate this ancient tomb." ”
Chang Tianbao couldn't figure it out, but Zhang Chen understood a little.
"Maybe things are not what you think, that old Taoist may have discovered the secret inside and changed the formation, not only to prevent outsiders from entering, but also to trap the blood ghost inside and prevent him from coming out to harm people again. ”
"Although these formations are subtle in modifying, it is impossible to trap the nineteenth generation of ancestors, but it will take us a while to crack them, and if it is past the night of the full moon, I am afraid there will be no chance in the future. ”
Chang Tianbao expressed his worries: "I didn't want to make trouble, but it seems that now I can only communicate with that old man." ”
So the two of them collected the compass to find the dragon and explore the cave, and went to the dilapidated Taoist temples where the archaeological team was currently located.
When they entered, Lao Dao, who had been meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Chen and Chang Tianbao: "The two of you can change your mind, and it can be regarded as a thing of immeasurable merit." ”
Zhang Chen was a little embarrassed when he said this, but he thought that if he delayed the opportunity to get rid of the blood ghosts because of this, not only would the surrounding villagers suffer in the future, but he would even be affected, so he could only stubbornly say: "Dao Chief, I have something to say about the ancient tomb to you alone." ”
Chen Laodao did not shirk, waved his hand and said to the people who followed him: "You all go out." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Chang Tianbao, and said to Zhang Chen without hesitation: "The one who came with you, it's better to go out too, I don't trust him." ”
This made Zhang Chen a little embarrassed, and just wanted to explain a few sentences, Chang Tianbao smiled and said to Zhang Chen: "Brother Chen, it's okay." ”
After speaking, he also turned around and left, and the entire Taoist temple was left with Zhang Chen and Chen Laodao, Zhang Chen spoke: "Dao Chief, I guess you also know what is in the ancient tomb, the two of us came here to get rid of him, this time I came to you in the hope that you can open the modified formation birth door and let the two of us enter it." ”
Chen Laodao didn't think about it, so he directly refused: "Since you know that there is a blood ghost cultivator inside, you should know how terrifying he is, how many innocent villagers have been harmed in recent years, if the formation is removed, you can't take him down, wouldn't it be better to let the surrounding villagers bury you for you." ”
"Dao Chief, don't you know, that blood ghost cultivator is a formation master, your formation may be the highest level for you and me, but for him, I'm afraid it's a pediatric. ”
These words made Chen Laodao a little surprised: "Do you know who is buried inside??"
"The nineteenth generation ancestor of the person who just came in with me, in order to cultivate the method of blood ghosts, actually sucked the essence blood of his descendants to maintain his life, Tianbao's father was trained to be a dry corpse, and two days later, when his ancestor was the weakest and sucked the essence blood of his descendants to replenish his life, wouldn't it be better for us to completely seal and kill it on that day to get rid of this scourge. ”
