Chapter Eighty-Eight: Accidents
There is a palm-sized pit underneath the bricks, and in the pit there is a brown wooden box, which is made of stone around the perimeter to isolate the moisture from the dirt underground, so that the wooden box will not be corroded by the moisture.
Wang Lei carefully took out the wooden box, the wooden box looks very ordinary, but it is quite heavy in his hand, the wooden box does not use a lock, but uses a very sticky glue to directly seal the box, which can also play a moisture-proof effect.
"Leizi, is this box what your master left behind?" The big one leaned up and asked, staring at the inconspicuous wooden box.
"Yes, this is it." Wang Lei patted the dust on it and said.
"The workmanship of this wooden box is rough, it doesn't look like a big deal, what good things can be inside?" The big man stretched out his finger and tapped on the wooden box and said.
"Who knows? Let's go back and see. Wang Lei shrugged his shoulders, he had just asked Xuanyun Daoist what was in the box, but Xuanyun Daoist didn't say it explicitly, just asked Wang Lei to go back and open it again.
"Then hurry down the mountain, I'm also curious about what is in here, it is so mysterious." The big man lifted his foot and kicked the stone on the side, and said.
"I'm cleaning this up." Wang Lei squatted on the ground again, put the brick back in its place, covered the palm-sized pit, and secretly communicated with Xuanyun Dao Chang, saying:
"Master, now that you've found something, do you have any other instructions?"
"I haven't been back for a long time, and I may not come back in the future, I want to stay at the Taoist Temple tonight and take a good look here." Daoist Xuanyun said with emotion.
"Master, what you said just now, you didn't ask me." Wang Lei showed a wry smile, he asked Xuanyun Daoist if he had anything to do, but he didn't let the other party miss the past, the Taoist temple was dilapidated like this, and there was no place to stay, wouldn't it be a crime to stay all night. ”
"Stinky boy, I can't even bear this bit of bitterness." Xuanyun Dao Elder scolded with a smile.
At this time, the sun has set in the west, the two do not dare to continue to stay on the mountain, once it gets dark, the danger of going down the mountain will increase a lot, and the two do not have much experience in mountaineering, it is very likely that an accident will occur.
"Leizi hurried down the mountain, it will be dark for a while, this deep foot, shallow foot is not easy to walk." The big one urged.
"I know, but it's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, so you have to be more careful at this time, otherwise you may fall down if you step on the air." Wang Lei warned that going up the mountain is leaning forward, which is easy to exert force and not easy to fall, and going down the mountain is leaning backwards, and it is not easy to maintain body balance.
"I don't need you to say it, I already knew about it." The big one patted his chest and took the initiative to walk to the front to lead the way, although it was more dangerous to go down the mountain, but it was more labor-saving than going up the mountain, and the big man had a lot of confidence to speak.
The two stood on the top of the mountain and looked at it, but the road up the mountain was easier to walk, so they simply went down the mountain according to the original path, which was also safer and safer.
The road down the mountain is indeed very dangerous, looking at the steep mountain road and stepping on the potholed stones, Wang Lei's whole heart is hanging, if it is not for the image, Wang Lei can't wait to lie down, back against the mountain wall to move down.
"Damn, this mountain road is really difficult to walk, I knew that I would have changed into a pair of slacks, and the crotch of the pants is a little uncrossed, light." The big one muttered, and his already white face looked even paler.
"Don't complain, the road ahead is steeper, and the ground isn't strong, you kid have a little more eyes." Wang Lei admonished, the sky was gradually getting dark, and there were tall trees all around, which looked gloomy.
"Whew......"
Suddenly, a roar sounded not far away, and the huge sound made Wang Lei's heart startled, and his feet almost stepped on the air.
"Holy, what the hell is this, so loud?" Wang Lei sat on the ground and asked.
"Listen...... It's like a bear roaring. The big one looked in the direction of the roar, and the look on his face was ugly.
"I remember, there seems to be a black bear in Shuzhou, it can't be that we have touched it." Wang Lei showed a worried look.
"It's possible, the black bear looks bulky, but in fact, it runs very fast, even the tiger doesn't dare to mess with it, and the black bear has a strong sense of territory, if we break into its territory, this thing will have to tear us up." The big man's tone trembled a little, and he didn't seem to be able to speak properly.
"I remember, the bear's eyesight is not good, or let's lie on the ground and stay still, and wait for it to leave before moving." Wang Lei said.
"Roar ......" another bear roar sounded.
The big one shuddered and muttered, "This thing is not good with eyes, but the sense of smell is very sensitive, if you smell the smell of our body, then it is not sitting and waiting for death." ”
"Listen to this sound, we are separated from it by some distance, do we have such a strong sense of smell?" Wang Lei asked softly.
"Then who knows?" The big man spread his hands and said.
"Roaring ......"
The bear roar sounded again, and the sound became louder and louder, it seemed that the distance was getting closer and closer, Wang Lei and the big man glanced at each other, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the sight in the forest was not very good, and the specific figure of the black bear could not be seen clearly, but only a huge figure was shaking between the trees in the distance, and it was rushing in the direction of the two of them.
……
In the snack bar at the foot of the mountain.
It was getting dark, there were fewer and fewer tourists, and there were fewer pedestrians resting in the snack bar, but at the table on the east side, there were still two people, a man and a woman, who seemed to be talking on the ground.
The woman was in her sixties, her hair was still jet black, high on top of her head, wearing a gray casual suit, and a pair of white sneakers at her feet, it was Li Zhaodi, a professor of archaeology.
"What a sound is this, it sounds weird and scary." Li Zhaodi furrowed her eyebrows and asked the man opposite.
"There's a black bear on the hill around here, and it sounds like a bear roar." The man answered.
The man's name is Feng Shuangxi, he looks to be in his forties, with a square face, short hair, and a tall man, he is a staff member of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, and he is also one of the two persons in charge of the archaeological project, and Li Zhaodi is the other person in charge.
"Feng, there is a black bear in the nearby mountains, why didn't you mention it at the last meeting, our archaeological team members are surveying the location of the ancient tomb nearby, what if you are injured by a black bear?" Li Zhaodi looked at the mountain in the distance, with a worried look on her face.
"Professor Li, don't worry, our team members are just searching for ancient tombs at the foot of the mountain, and the territory of the black bear is all on the mountain, as long as it does not enter the territory of the black bear, the black bear generally will not take the initiative to hurt people." Feng Shuangxi explained, then changed his words and asked:
"Professor Li, we have been here for half a month, and there has been no progress in determining the location of the ancient tomb, and the leaders of the Provincial * Bureau have been urging me, do you see if there is any way to speed up the search progress."
"Feng, archaeology is a rigorous work, everything must be done according to the procedure, the graduate students I brought from Jingcheng University are not idle, and I also want to determine the location of the ancient tomb as soon as possible." Li Zhaodi showed a displeased look and said.
"I understand what you mean, I will declare it to the leader again, strive for more funds and time, and help you find the specific location of the tomb as soon as possible." Feng Shuangxi spoke very politely, the old lady in front of her was not an ordinary person, and when she heard that the National Cultural Relics Bureau had students she had led, Feng Shuangxi naturally didn't dare to take it too big.
"Feng, if you want to find the tomb, it's not that there is no other way, but I'm afraid it will violate the rules of your bureau." Li Zhaodi pondered for a moment and said.
"What's the solution, can you tell me about it first?" Feng Shuangxi asked.
"You can find a feng shui master and ask them to help find the location of the tomb." Li Zhaodi said.
"Professor Li, you are a scientist and you believe in Feng Shui?" Feng Shuangxi showed a look of surprise and said.
"It doesn't matter if I don't believe it, the important thing is that the ancient people believed it." Li Zhaodi repeated what she had said to Wang Lei before.
"Professor Li, what do you mean by this, the ancient people believed in Feng Shui, what does it have to do with us?" Feng Shuangxi was even more puzzled.
Li Zhaodi smiled, and was about to explain, when suddenly, there was another roar from the mountain, which was louder than before:
"Whew......"
"Why is there a bear crying on the mountain again, is something wrong?" Li Zhaodi looked in the direction of the mountain, showing a look of worry, and said.
Feng Shuangxi frowned, and said with a stern expression: "It is very likely that someone broke into the territory of the black bear and provoked the black bear. ”
