Chapter 123, what a beautiful sunset

The next morning, the township chief came, accompanied by a group of township cadres, Yuan Guitu, director of the township police station, three police officers, four assistant policemen, and five security officers from nearby villages.

The first person they saw outside the village was Chi Mu Duo, don't look at this expert in front of the villagers seems to be very helpless, can only go door to door to preach the cultural relics protection law, but this group of cadres is not polite at all, standing on the road into the village and blocking the entire convoy.

He stood in the middle of the mountain road and beckoned, asked Township Chief Chen to get out of the car by name, and in front of all the township cadres present, he scolded him with his head and face, and his tone was not much different from that of the secretary of the municipal party committee who came down to inspect the work. This meeting made Township Chief Chen very unable to step down, and Chi Muduo didn't want him to step down at all, and every sentence he criticized was a fact, which made it impossible to refute.

The red-faced person was Chi Muduo himself, and Township Chief Chen nodded and apologized with a smile, looking both modest and sincere. When the cadres of Feiju Village, who rushed to hear the news, saw this scene, they actually stepped forward and tried to pat themselves, accusing Chi Muduo of not talking to the township leaders like this, but they were scolded by Director Yuan, who was angry, and pushed and shoved them all back to the village.

Chi Mu Duo's reprimand was really effective, and when the group entered the village, they held back the fire in their stomachs, and they could only take out their anger at the outlaws in the village. The township chief's apology must be a little sincere, and someone repaired the archaeological team's off-road vehicle on the same day. After dealing with the affairs in the village, Township Chief Chen and Director Yuan also took the time to bring people to the valley with the condolences they bought temporarily from the commissary, expressed their cordial condolences and sincere apologies to all the archaeological team members, and said that they must severely punish the illegal criminals.

Stretching out their hands and not hitting the smiling face, the archaeological team members are not good at saying anything. Of course, they didn't see Jianmu.

When the brigade entered the village, You Fang watched from the third floor of the guest house, and after he figured out the identities of these people, he understood the intention. These people are here to calm down the situation, and they don't want to make a big deal out of the situation and turn it into a case with a bad surname, so they try to solve it within the township level, so the surname of the problem must be an accident caused by someone secretly hiding explosives and accidentally catching fire.

The work of searching for explosives, which offends people, is still handed over to Chang Shuxin to do, and he and a few security officers from neighboring villages really searched for explosives. Director Yuan's cleverness is to use people from neighboring villages to do it, which can not only divert conflicts but also solve problems, these people have no good impression of Feiju Village, and they understand the situation nearby, so they really want to search, it's not that they can't find it.

The villagers of Feiju village hid explosives in a ravine two miles away from the village, where there used to be a house for mountain watchers and a sheepfold in the yard, which had been abandoned three years ago and no one lived there. There was no explosives in the village, so some people remembered it and were shocked when they saw the place!

Damn, the arsenal? There is a room full of explosives here, and there are a lot of detonators next to it, if they are detonated, their power may be able to flatten the small mountain bag next to them, which is too scary! Everyone thought that there might be explosives here, but they didn't expect there to be so many.

Chang Shuxin immediately reported to the leaders, and the township leaders immediately sent people to set up a warning isolation zone to watch the house. What to do with these explosives, of course, they have to be transported, but who will carry them? On the way back to the village, Chang Shuxin and several security officers received a text message from where there was a signal on their mobile phones: "There is an ambush in the explosives, and it may explode if you move it indiscriminately." Surprised, he read it out loud, and the others heard it.

In the end, the matter could not be completely covered, so I had to apply to the city to send an explosion-proof expert to come over, and the explosives were placed here, and the villagers in other nearby villages could not agree! But the top priority is to solve the case first, and then find out who hid the explosives?

All morning, the township leaders were convening a meeting of the village leaders, threatening and intimidating the villagers to stand up and turn themselves in, but who would take the initiative to admit it? There was a meeting here, and Chang Shuxin, who was in charge of setting up the isolation zone outside, solved the case after returning to the village, and the clue was still a text message.

It's funny to say, yesterday there was a dispute between the villagers when transporting explosives, so many explosives were put together, how could they tell whose family it belonged to afterwards? Someone wants to put a name on it, but they are stopped by "people who understand", and if they are found by the police, won't they all be exposed? As a result of the quarrel, the village accountant stepped forward and recorded the amount of explosives stored in each house and recorded it in a small notebook.

The text message Chang Shuxin received was about this small book, and he took someone to search for it, and then took the village accountant away. He couldn't understand why some insiders always sent him text messages, and the number was still local, but he was still very enthusiastic about solving the case, and he had long held back his grievances.

Township Chief Chen and Director Yuan usually receive a lot of benefits from Feiju Village, but they have always turned a blind eye to the tomb robbery in this place, and if they don't get it, they wear a pair of pants. But in today's situation, things can't be left unhandled, and they can't be covered up if they want to. If the situation is different, even the armed police force will be alarmed.

In that case, why didn't Chang Shuxin check? Anyway, the benefits that Fei Jucun gave to the leader had nothing to do with him, but he had to carry the black pot several times, and he wanted to make things bigger.

The latest progress of the case caught Township Chief Chen a little off guard, so he simply handed it over to the police, and instructed on the spot: "We must seriously deal with the incident of illegal possession of explosives, and punish how it should be punished!" In addition, we must catch a few typical tomb robbers to deter lawbreakers. ”

……

You Fang is not very satisfied with the progress of the case, he believes that the commotion is not big enough, and the lid has not been completely lifted. The punishment of the symbol surname for possession of explosives and catching a few unlucky eggs as tomb robbers does not solve the problem. But he is not in a hurry, and will help his brother-in-law get the current matter done first.

Chi Mu Duo reported his discovery directly to the provincial cultural relics department today, and was instructed to carefully verify and reconfirm, and if necessary, transfer the building to the city museum, and if it is not safe, apply to the local police for protection.

It cannot be said that the above does not attach importance to it, Hunan is a large province of cultural relics, Mawangdui is in Changsha, and has always attached great importance to the protection of cultural relics. But this is a regular practice, after all, it is too far and slow to send people directly to Chuyang Township, and the local police should be asked for assistance at the first time. On the other hand, under the existing communication conditions, Chi Mu Duo could not send any graphic materials, and could only describe them verbally on the phone.

There are too few archaeological objects like Jianmu, almost unique, and it is not something that Chi Muduo can confirm with a phone call, and the Hunan Provincial Cultural Relics Department can't believe it. Misunderstandings in on-site identification in archaeological excavations are actually very common, and the identification of important sites and national treasures is never the final word of any one person.

The higher authorities asked Chi Muduo to transfer the "Jianmu" to the cultural relics department of Guidong City, and organize cultural relics experts from Guidong, Zixing, Chenzhou, Rucheng and other places to conduct preliminary discussions and identifications. If it can be preliminarily determined, the province will organize a large-scale archaeological team to come to the site to carry out a comprehensive clean-up and rescue.

The scale of this team in the Chimu Duo Belt was very small, and the purpose was originally only to conduct investigation and survey, but I did not expect that the scale of the distribution of tombs here would be so large, let alone such a major discovery. There are nearly 100 stolen tombs here, and even if they were all cleaned up, it would not be possible for the existing team to complete them.

They have only been here for about ten days, and they can only do some registration and exploration work, and select a few tombs with representative surnames for rescue and excavation. Now the situation has changed, and the archaeological team still has to stay here, but Chi Muduo wants to send "Jianmu" to Guidong City, and send detailed graphic materials and on-site research to the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau.

In the guest house, Chi Mu Duo discussed with the tour party what to do, whether to ask the local police for protection? You Fang did not approve because he did not trust the police here, and as far as he knew, Director Yuan of the township police station was personally involved in the tomb robbery case in Feiju Village.

This is a remote mountainous area at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, and even if the local police are requested for protection, the task will still fall to the local township police station. Now half of the official police force in the township is in Feiju Village, just a few broken guns, not to mention how many police forces can be drawn to escort them, among which only Chang Shuxin is trustworthy and can do practical things.

Even if Chang Shuxin is carrying the broken June Fourth escort car, it won't make much difference if he really encounters any situation, and it's best not to leak the news. You Fang decided to personally drive to escort him, and You Chengyuan also went with Chi Mu Duo, taking Jianmu and two bronze swords out of the mountain as soon as possible and rushing to Guidong City, where other archaeological team members stayed.

Before the police officers entered the village this morning, Sun Fengbo and two other cultural relics dealers had already left, but You Fang was still a little uneasy.

……

After dinner that day, you quietly came to the valley, and the archaeological team members were still carrying out the final dismantling work, and the building tree could finally be disassembled into one hundred and eight parts, in addition to the ninety-nine leaves, the trunk was also divided into nine sections. Packed and filled in the gaps, packed in a suitcase, it didn't look too large, but the weight was quite heavy, and the series of work was not completed until the next morning.

You Fang was not idle when he came to the valley, carrying a hoe and Qin Yu in the afterglow of dusk, collecting netherworld soil everywhere on the hillside. Even if you know that this kind of thing exists underground, it is very difficult to collect, but fortunately, the "hard-working and capable" villagers of Feiju Village have helped a lot, and the soil layer in many places has been dug up, revealing the place where the netherworld soil is distributed. You Fang only needs to extend his divine consciousness along these sections, ingest them with glass beads, and occasionally dig a few hoes to cut open the soil layer.

With the skill of You Fang, at most he can refine most of the netherworld soil at a time, and then he will have to rest for at least a week. However, he did not do his best to collect it, and it was already dark after collecting the small half a penny. He came to the hillside about sixty meters above the altar, took out the nine spars that had been refined and refined yesterday in the open space between the two bushes, arranged them into a large array of corpses, and then sat down in the array, feeling the harvest of last night.

This is the location of the feng shui spirit center of this piece of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers today, and you Fang uses the formation to gather the earth qi spirit center to nourish the form god, and deeply feel the words that the master said when teaching the Dharma - "Establish the ground and form a game".

This is the real fun of the realm of "Transferring the Soul", and the You Fang at this moment is equivalent to last night's Jianmu, who is using himself as a spiritual guide to stimulate the vitality of this entire Feng Shui treasure land. This kind of mental method, the master only talked about the principles and taboos, such as the refinement realm can be established as a spiritual body, and the thunder sky is not allowed to practice, and so on.

When You Fang really practiced, he had his own unique skills, imitating the induction of the vitality of Jianmu last night, which Liu Li probably couldn't imagine. Without the help of the power of that ancient ritual, there was no need for You Fang to operate the heart plate, and set up a large array of corpses to assist, instead of actively operating the earth qi, but incarnating into the corpse and integrating into it.

At this time, the You Fang is also equivalent to a bridge between heaven, earth, man and God, which is the spiritual surname of Jianmu. From the beginning of night to the twilight of the sky, You Fang felt that this method had a very obvious effect on enhancing his divine sense, and it seemed that he still needed to stay in this valley for a while, not only to collect netherworld soil, but also to exercise his divine sense.

His divine sense is subtle and keen, no less than the world's first-class masters, but his skills are not deep and powerful enough, which must be made up for by hard work, and he can't be lazy and slippery. Collecting the earth-in-the-netherworld consumes divine energy, and You Fang's nourishing method of incarnating into a spiritual corpse at this moment can not only exercise divine sense, but also quickly restore the weakened divine soul power.

Liu Li is really dark enough, he actually asked You Fang to collect as many as three taels, that is, he forced his apprentices to do this kind of hard work, constantly using, consuming, exercising, recovering, and growing, and when the three taels were collected, it was estimated that it was almost time to leave the school.

You Fang deliberately collected a small amount of netherworld earth to use his divine sense, and then nourished his divine soul overnight, and when the next day came, his physical strength and energy were already in an unprecedented state. He finally realized the "great freedom" of his body and mind as a true master of the arcane method, and his eyes were slightly closed, and his long, silent breath was like a fish swimming in the operation of the invisible heaven and earth spirit, floating down the mountain.

……

The suitcase containing the building wood and the bronze sword, You Fang secretly did some tricks, he condensed a layer of extremely faint, non-existent netherworld soil with his divine sense on the inner surface of the box, and the outer surface also condensed a layer of almost invisible rooster blood.

In the past, almost every household in the countryside raised roosters, in addition to reporting the dawn and crowing, in fact, there is a saying among the people that the rooster's crowing can drive away the evil spirit of the night and break the nightmare town. The big rooster in the prime of life who reports the dawn and crows, the one with oily coat color and bright cockscomb has the most yang energy, and its leg bones are the simplest and cheapest array weapons.

The rooster's comb blood is also known as pure yang blood, and the piece of silk cloth that Liu Li gave to You Fang at the beginning was condensed with netherworld soil and pure yang blood on both sides, which has the miraculous effect of isolating the surnames of yin and yang. Needless to say, Liu Li took a drop of blood from the comb of every big rooster in dozens of villages along the way, and only then did he drum out the piece of silk cloth for You Fang.

You Fang felt magical at the beginning, but now he has become an expert, and he doesn't need to be taught by his master, but he will do the same. Of course, he can't get so much pure yang blood, even if he catches all the chickens in the village and lines up for bloodletting, it's not enough, he retreats to the second, and replaces it with rooster blood with a similar surname but far less pure, and the netherworld soil is only condensed with an extremely light layer.

Of course, this can't completely isolate the yin and yang castes, but it can disturb the divine sense, and he put nine spars in the box, which are mixed with each other and annihilated. He sensed the box with his own divine sense, and could only find that there were only some stones and metal artifacts inside, but he couldn't detect the unique spiritual surname of the magic weapon, so he let Chi Mu Duo take it on the road.

……

You Fang returned to the chaotic village before dawn, went up from the window of the guest house, and came down from the building after dawn, and left Feiju Village after checkout. -- Even Fei Cai was taken by the police for questioning for secretly possessing explosives, and of course he, "Boss Xu", had to leave quickly.

Chi Muduo and his wife returned to the village with the box after he left, accompanied by Jiang Xiafei and Zhang Renyun. Chi Mu Duo told Jiang Xiafei that the female team member would stay in the guest house, and the other three male team members would take turns to be on duty at the valley site, always keeping two people present to supervise each other and wait for him to come back.

After having a meal in the village, You Chengyuan drove Chi Muduo out of the village, and only talked about shopping in the county seat. Not far from the entrance of the village, at a hidden corner, You Fang quietly got into the car, changed him to drive, and You Chengyuan sat in the co-pilot seat.

The set of probe shovels that he carried back from Guangzhou actually carried with him, packed in a long bag, and placed at You Chengyuan's feet. Chi Mu Duo sat in the back seat, with the suitcase next to him, and held it with one hand for fear that the national treasure would fly away. The road out of the village is very poor, barely allowing only one off-road vehicle to pass, and the winding pothole machine plow road, the off-road vehicle can go no faster than the tractor.

When it was merged into another road, the situation was a little better, and it was a road paved with cinders on top of the triple soil, which was much smoother. But this area is mountainous, the road is rugged and undulating, and it is not wide, even if a donkey cart comes from the opposite side, you have to slow down and pull over, and the speed of course is not fast.

In the afternoon, they arrived at the town where the township government axe was, had a brief lunch and went on the road again, this time they finally saw the cement road, which led to the county seat. Although it is a road, it still winds through the mountains, sometimes villages, sometimes fields, and more often cliffs and jungles. The scenery is superb, but Ikeki Duo's expression is very anxious.

You Chengyuan persuaded with a smile: "Mu Duo, you don't have to be so nervous, we are already careful enough, the villagers of Feiju Village have long been gone, you just relax a little and enjoy the scenery." Look over there, what a beautiful fall! ”

The car is moving forward, and a round of red in the west is also walking forward between the two mountains, and the golden glow seems to spread straight to the front from the sky, and the mountain treetops are also dyed with the color of the falling day, which is very beautiful.

Chi Mu Duo frowned and said, "Look at the time, it's dark when we arrive in the county seat, do you want to continue to hurry or rest for the night?" ”

You Fang held the steering wheel, looked ahead and said with a smile: "I suggest that you rest for a night, try not to rush the night road, although there is a national highway from the county to the city, but there are still mountains along the way, there is nothing wrong with being careful." As soon as he said this, the smile on his face froze, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.
