Volume 4 The Stormy Waves of the Ming Sea Chapter 289 The Strange Wufu Mountain
Baiyang Tieniu left the county seat and rushed to Magang Village at the foot of Wufen Mountain.
It was not early at that time, and Magang Village was far away from the main highway, so the two of them walked until late in the evening.
I found the village chief directly, and the village chief heard that the archaeological team had come to investigate the tomb of Wufen Mountain, so he naturally showed great enthusiasm.
The village chief's wife was busy cooking, and said that she would invite Poplar Tie Niu to eat at their house in the evening.
Before it was dark, Bai Yang asked the village chief to take him and Tie Niu to take a walk around Wufen Mountain.
Although the village chief was slightly frightened, he still nodded in agreement.
In fact, standing at the head of the village, you can see the Black Tomb Mountain, and looking at it from a distance, it really looks like a big tomb.
When I got to the front, I saw that the height of the whole mountain would not exceed 20 meters, and the mountain was full of large rocks.
The surrounding area of the mountain is almost in a perfect circle shape, and this kind of large stone on the mountain is not common in the vicinity, so it cannot but make people suspect that this stone mountain was originally a large tomb formed by artificial accumulation.
In the middle of this stone mountain, a large crack was opened from west to east, and the gap facing the west, that is, facing Magang Village, was not large, but when it went around the foot of the mountain to the back of Wufen Mountain, which is also the east side, it was found that the crack was more than a meter wide.
The poplar iron bull took a closer look, but found that the depth of the crack was at least ten meters or more, and the black and swarthy could not be seen clearly.
"It's good that two comrades are here, you don't know how scary this is! Three have been scared to death before, and one is still delirious. Even now, every night, there will be a ghost scream here, which scares our villagers so much that they don't even dare to go out to the toilet at night!" said the village chief, glancing at the black crack, and shivered.
"There will be ghost screams at night, really?" Iron Bull laughed at once.
"I know that you comrades in the city don't believe this, but if you stay here for one night tonight, you will know if I am telling a lie! Besides, three of the comrades from the county cultural relics bureau who came before did not come up again, and two of them are said to have died after returning home, and the other is also frightened crazy, and I don't know if it is true!"
Tie Niu suddenly thought of a question and said: "Looking down from this crack, you can't see a big tomb down there, so how do you know that there is a big tomb down here and report it to the Cultural Relics Bureau?"
"We didn't know there was a big tomb down there!" replied the village chief, "It's just that three people died in the village, and one went crazy, and someone from the county will definitely come to investigate!" We told us about the fact that this black tomb mountain has been said to be the grave of a great general since ancient times. This public security comrade is lucky, he went down alone, and he actually came up again, and the comrades of the county cultural relics bureau were ...... Alas!"
The village chief let out a long sigh, which caused Tie Niu to ask more: "The people from the three cultural relics bureaus didn't come up, didn't the county organize people to rescue them?"
"Of course, we have to organize people to rescue us! It was still a few public security comrades who came, but according to what they said, those comrades from the Cultural Relics Bureau seemed to have escaped from the tomb and fell in front of this crack, so a few public security comrades actually didn't enter the tomb, so naturally they didn't encounter anything terrible!"
The two questions that Tie Niu asked were actually mentioned in the investigation materials written by the police handling the case, but when Bai Yang watched the materials, Tie Niu went out to call his parents, and after coming back, the two of them did not communicate these two questions, so Tie Niu asked this question.
The village chief's answer is basically the same as what was stated in the investigation materials.
Seeing that it was getting late, the red glow in the sky gave the nearby Wufen Mountain and the green forests in the distance all set a touch of golden-red halo.
The poplar iron cow still felt that the scenery was beautiful, but the village chief shrank more and more, only saying that the family meal was almost ready, and urged the poplar iron cow to hurry back to the village.
Poplar Tie Niu knew that he was scared, so he followed him back.
The village chief's wife had already made a sumptuous table of good dishes, and Bai Yang was a little reluctant to go, so he only said that there would be a room and board allowance for doing things, and he forced dozens of yuan to the village chief's wife.
The village chief blamed them for being too polite on the surface, but Poplar could see that the village chief was actually quite happy in his heart.
After all, in the mountains, a few dozen yuan is enough to be of great use.
The village chief's wife was even more pleased, and called a brother from her mother's family to accompany the guests.
The man was strong and very good at drinking, and if it hadn't been for Poplar's reminder that he would have to listen to the movements on the other side of Wufen Mountain at night, he would have to get drunk that night.
The village chief's wife gave up the best bed in the house to Poplar Iron Cow and changed them into clean sheets.
When I finished eating, washed my feet and went to bed, I didn't feel anything unusual at first, but as the night deepened, only the sound of dogs barking and the chirping of autumn insects and the undulating sound of pine waves were left in my ears, and suddenly there was a strange sound, which came into my ears.
Tie Niu suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed, "What kind of sound is this? It's really like a ghost crying!"
His description was not exaggerated, the voice was thin and high-pitched, and it felt like there was a woman, or a group of women, all screaming and crying with their voices pinched.
Occasionally, one or two sounds are particularly loud, and they are sharp and poignant, and they can penetrate the eardrum and reach the weakest part of the heart.
And a sound like this, even Poplar and Tie Niu felt cold all over their bodies when they heard it, like the villagers of Magang had never really experienced anything strange, and the fright they were even more predictable could be imagined.
"Lao Bai, what kind of sound do you say? It can't be that there is a group of female ghosts crying in that big tomb, right?" said Tie Niu, who couldn't help but shudder in the bed.
The brothers shared the same bed, and Tie Niu's reaction Bai Yang immediately felt it, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Are you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of, our brothers join forces, it can be said that they are invincible in the world, but it's true that there are a little goosebumps!"
Poplar actually had goosebumps on his body, but he listened carefully, and said, "It can't be some kind ......of female ghost crying, right? Even if there are female ghosts, they won't be very powerful female ghosts, otherwise I should have seen an illusion!"
"That's right!" Iron Bull thought for a moment, then laughed, "It's like the Bone Eater and the Blue Fire Crow before, you've seen it before, these are all strange things that we can't afford to provoke! And those two blood wolves, which have caused us to live uneasy until now! Today, you haven't seen anything, it is enough to see that in the tomb under the Wufen Mountain, even if there are monsters and the like, it is not something we can't deal with!"
Poplar actually didn't have that kind of confidence, after all, he hadn't seen anything before in the Heavenly Elephant Kingdom's underground palace. In fact, there were not only yellow-spotted sand lizards in the underground palace, but also living corpses that almost killed them.
However, Bai Yang didn't tell Tie Niu about this frustration, but only smiled slightly.
"If it wasn't for the female ghost calling, what would it be and how could it be so scary?" Iron Bull asked again.
Bai Yang thought for a moment, and then said, "According to me, this should be the sound of the mountain wind passing through the crack in the Wufen Mountain. The crack was wide at one end and narrow at the other, and the wind poured in from the wide side, and then squeezed out from the narrow side, and the sound was naturally very sharp. In addition, there is a large tomb down there, and the mountain wind comes out of the space of the tomb in a circle, and the sound is even more strange. ”
Tie Niu listened to what he said, and then held his breath and listened carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, you are still thoughtful! Listen carefully, it is indeed like the sound of the mountain wind!"
"Then don't think about it, go to bed quickly, and go to the grave early tomorrow!" said Poplar.
Tie Niu agreed, he was a person who didn't pretend to be anything, and since he was sure that the so-called ghost cry was just the sound of the mountain wind, he quickly fell asleep steadily.
When I got up the next day, the village chief's wife had already made breakfast.
Just as they were sitting down to have breakfast together, the village chief asked the two if they had heard a ghost scream last night.
"You can hear ghosts screaming almost every night these days, especially last night!" said the village chief.
When Bai Yang heard this, he became more and more sure that it must be the sound of the mountain wind pouring into the cracks in the mountain, so he asked the village chief with a smile: "Have you ever thought about why the village chief was so loud last night?"
The village chief scratched his scalp and said, "I don't know, if I knew, I wouldn't be so afraid!"
"Because the mountain wind blew quite hard last night!" Tie Niu hurriedly said.
The village chief was stunned for a moment.
Poplar then told the judgment of the two of them.
The village chief was stunned for a while before he smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I haven't thought about it like this, but ...... After all, so many people died, even if the sound was not a ghost scream, but ...... If you want to say that there is nothing under the crack in that mountain, I don't believe anything!"
"Yes, after all, there is a big tomb under that crack, and the ancients always added some strange mechanisms to build tombs, so as to prevent future generations from digging graves and robbing tombs! Some of them are really like demons and monsters, and it is not surprising that we have seen a lot of them!" Bai Yang smiled and said very easily.
The village chief was still stunned, and said: "It would be nice if this was the case! I only hope that the two of you can go down today, thoroughly investigate the matter, and be able to come up again safely, then the people of Magang Village can really put their hearts back in their stomachs!"
Bai Yang knew that the people in the mountains believed in gods and ghosts, but in fact he didn't know if there were gods or not, but ghosts and zombies were real, so if he really wanted to reassure the people of Magang Village, he could only wait until they came out of the tomb safely as the village chief said.
So Poplar stopped talking nonsense, and after breakfast, he went to Wufen Mountain with Tie Niu.
The village chief was a little relieved, although the people in the village definitely did not dare to go to the tomb, he still called a dozen young and strong villagers to follow the poplar iron ox over.
