Chapter 012: The Ancient Tomb
After all, the question goes back to the previous question!
"Those tomb robbers are here to ask for money, and they should never have killed three children for no reason! I deduced that the tomb had already been found by them, and that they needed to perform rituals such as blood sacrifices, so they chose to kill someone. Gu Xiongfei was silent for a long time, and then continued.
"Blood sacrifices? It's not so mysterious, is it? Ye Zheng frowned, not very disapproving of this unscientific thing. It's just that his mind quickly flashed to the scene of seeing the underground in Wohu Mountain, which was really unscientific.
So miraculous things have happened, what is this blood sacrifice?
"Perhaps! But after all, it is an explanation! Gu Xiongfei didn't argue too much, and then looked at Ye Zheng worriedly, "Now I suspect that that ancient tomb is near there, and it is very likely to be in Crouching Tiger Mountain." I didn't want to sue you about this, but now if the ancient tomb is really in Crouching Tiger Mountain, and you dig it out, then you are really in trouble. ”
This is actually his biggest worry!
Although Ye Zheng took care of those people in the town government, if a large tomb was dug up in Wohu Mountain, then someone would naturally report it to the cultural relics department. If the higher level sends someone down, it will naturally investigate how the ancient tomb was discovered, and this matter of stealing stone will be revealed.
Regardless of whether Ye Zheng took the funeral goods inside, this is destined to become the object of attention of the relevant departments. If the matter comes to this juncture, those people from the town government will definitely no longer shelter Ye Zhengzhì, and they will definitely pin the crime of illegal stone mining on his head.
What worries Gu Xiongfei the most is that if Ye Zheng has this stain on his life, he may be useless if he enters the system. The system is not just based on your background and personal ability, if you have any mistakes in the past, then I am afraid that you will not be able to be promoted in this life.
If Ye Zheng enters the system and can only mix with section-level cadres for the rest of his life, then he would rather let his grandson choose to start a business.
"Tombs? Phalanx? ”
Ye Zheng knew that his grandfather's worries were very reasonable, but he was unwilling to give up Crouching Tiger Mountain, and his mind couldn't help but speed up. When you wonder "where will the tomb be"? A picture popped into his mind.
On the first day of quarrying, he accidentally wore a ring that allowed him to see the blue glowing finger bones beneath the ground. If that qiē is not an illusion, then there may really be an ancient tomb in the Crouching Tiger Mountain.
It's just that the "finger bone" is a little far away from the location where the bones were found, it is located in the southernmost part of Wohu Mountain, on the edge of the secluded green stream. Grandpa apparently used the place where the bones were buried as an altar, so it's no wonder he couldn't find it.
"Originally, I didn't completely object to you mining stone, after all, this is also your experience. But now it has been determined that there is probably an ancient tomb buried there, and if you dig any further, you will probably be harming yourself. Gu Xiongfei spoke bitterly, and followed Ye Zheng to express his worries.
"Grandpa, I probably know where the tomb is!" Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment, and decided to dispel his grandfather's concerns.
"You know?" Gu Xiongfei looked at him seriously.
"I didn't know, but when you say that, I think it's probably in that position, I'll go over tomorrow to have a look!" Ye Zheng nodded, his eyes full of confidence.
Although it is impossible to think, there is a possibility. The blue glowing phalanx wasn't the point, the point was the dark hole. Although it is not 100% certain, it is more than 90% likely.
Gu Xiongfei didn't say much in the end, he believed that his grandson would not lie.
……
The sun is scorching, the water on the branches has been dried, and the verdant leaves have become more oily, exuding a strong breath of life in the sun. A white hare was foraging under a tree, when suddenly its ears were raised, and its red eyes looked ahead, and with a "brush" sound, it burrowed into the grass and disappeared.
In the middle of the rugged mountain road, a young man with a black backpack walked towards here, with an indescribable cangsang on his face.
"Brother Zhengzhì, you wait for me!" In the back, the tiger girl is chasing after her with her little short legs.
"Didn't you say you shouldn't come along?" Ye Zheng took off the cigarette butt from his mouth and looked back at the tiger girl helplessly. It is worth mentioning that just now in the north, the excavator was still digging yellow mud there, so he was not in a very good mood.
Whew......
The tiger girl ran over panting, her bangs already wet with sweat and her round face flushed. Although this chick is short and short-legged, she is also fast at the start and has strong motor cells.
"Hey! Exhausted! The tiger girl first reached out and wiped a handful of sweat, and then said with a raised face as a matter of course, "Of course I'm going to come along, I'm worried about you!" ”
Ye Zheng threw the cigarette butt on the ground and carefully stepped on it with his toes, for fear of causing a mountain fire, "Tiger girl, how old are you, I still want you to worry?" ”
"Don't underestimate me, I know a lot." Tiger girl walks ahead.
"Knowing you're great, give me your hand!" Ye Zheng stretched out his hand to hold him and walked up the hill.
The hillside is not sloping, and it is surrounded by weeds and wild flowers, and a few colored discs are dancing among the flowers. When a gust of wind falls, the flowers and plants here are undulating like waves, full of the breath of nature.
Wow!
The tiger girl screamed, let go of Ye Zhengzhì's hand, and ran over to pick a few ripe wild fruits, with a smile on her face. This little girl has a meaty face, a big pie face and a pair of big clear eyes, and she smiles very cutely.
It's just that Ye Zheng stood in front of the dirt pit, looking preoccupied.
About a week ago, he lit firecrackers and worshipped the mountain god here, intending to start his own business here. But I never thought that in just one week, the original qiē had become unbearable.
If he had a choice, he didn't want to come here, and if he had to add a deadline, he wanted it to be 10,000 years. It's just that after hearing about that past yesterday, he found that his fear had subsided a lot, and he also wanted to confirm whether his grandfather's recommendation was correct.
A strange phenomenon did make him feel terrifying, but the thought of a group of tomb robbers brutally killing three children the size of tiger girls made his heart ache. It suddenly occurred to him that ghosts might not be the most terrifying animals, but probably people.
The southern part of Crouching Tiger Mountain is a desolate place, which looks bare, with a lot of weeds growing on the roadside, and a few stout trees growing in the southernmost place. Actually, this was not the case before, it was a pine forest, but after it was cut down, it was slowly abandoned.
Ye Zheng walked up the mountain, and then walked towards the big trees on the south side of the mountain. But he suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked at the four porcelain jars under a pine tree, and then at the ground under his feet, and his eyes swelled with silence.
There was no wind in the mountains, but Ye Zheng felt the slightest coldness, and a cold sweat slipped down his forehead. He felt as if he was standing on a piece of glass, and it was dark underneath, and about ten meters away, a blue flame danced, and the blue flame wrapped around a bone finger.
Although the sense of fear has decreased, after all, it is the theoretical knowledge that has been subverted for more than ten years, so that his mind is still struggling. Neither the optical principles of physics, nor the combustion reactions in chemistry can explain this qiē.
"Brother Zhengzhì, do you want it? It's so sweet! The tiger girl chased after her from behind, proudly spreading out a few amla fruits in her palm.
Amla fruit is named because it tastes "bitter first and then sweet". The fruit is oblate spherical, inconspicuous hexagonal, yellowish-green, about 2-3 cm in diameter, sour, smooth and shiny surface. Because of its adaptability to harsh environments and medicinal health value, it has already been successfully cultivated and has become a member of the fruit market.
Ye Zheng took a small one, put it in his mouth and chewed it, his brows immediately furrowed, and his mouth was sour and astringent. He turned his head sideways and looked angrily at the tiger girl, but saw that the little girl was eating with relish, as if she were eating candy.
"Anthracene! It's delicious! Hu Niu found Ye Zheng looking at her and smiled sweetly.
If he hadn't known about this snack guy, he would definitely have reason to suspect that she was playing tricks on herself.
Ye Zheng shook his head helplessly, and found that there was a strict generation gap with the tiger girl. Last time, I took two large turnips and watched her bite with relish. He couldn't help but divide half of it, but only took a small bite and almost died of spicy heat.
Although this little girl has a heart to share, she is killing people, Ye Zheng has made up her mind that what she gives in the future should be treated carefully.
It didn't take long for the bitterness in his mouth to dissipate, and a burst of sweetness hit, making Ye Zheng swallow his saliva, this kind of fruit is indeed bitter and sweet.
"Brother Zhengzhì!" Hu Niu's little hand tightly grasped the corner of Ye Zhengzhì's clothes, and her face showed a rare fear.
"Tiger girl, what's wrong?" Ye Zheng asked puzzled.
"Look there!" The tiger girl reached out and stretched out to the ground, which was the location of the finger bone.
"You saw that too?" Ye Zheng looked at her finger and retorted in surprise.
"Hmm!" The tiger girl nodded with difficulty, her eyes still fixed on the ground.
Ye Zheng was slightly stunned, and suddenly a new thought sprung up: "Isn't this some kind of collision, but a strange phenomenon presented here?" Like a mirage, this is just an illusion that everyone can see? ”
As a result, he found himself thinking too much!
"Brother Zhengzhì, this snake seems to be poisonous." Tiger Girl was nervously clutching the corners of his clothes and was hiding behind him.
Ye Zheng saw that under the stone in front of him, a one-meter-long silver flower snake was spitting at him. It's just that it seems to be very hurt and vomits for a long time, but the man is indifferent, and finally turns around and burrows into the stone crevice.
Picking up a stick, he carefully led the tiger girl around the big rock and walked towards the big trees on the hill in front of him.
There were a few rocks under the tree that normally gave everyone a rest, but today there were some dead leaves and bird droppings on them. Tiger Niu found a clean stone, sat down carefully, and then took a plastic water bottle from her neck.
"Where's the entrance?"
Ye Zheng took out a short-handled hoe from his backpack and kept searching near the mountain.
In order for the quarry to continue to operate, he needed to determine the location of the tomb. This is not only for the sake of his "safety", but also to reassure his grandfather. It's just that last night I talked too much, and now I know that this kind of thing is more difficult than I imagined.
He didn't know anything about the feng shui of the ancient tomb, and he didn't know anything about this kind of acupoint skills. Although he knew that the ancient tomb might be more than ten meters under his feet, there was no way to confirm it, and a single qiē was his guess.
But if this ancient tomb had been found by those people, then there must have been a burial hole here, and now he had to find the buried burial tunnel.
"Damn! No more! ”
Ye Zheng originally planned to move away the scattered rocks in the southernmost weeds, but thinking of the silver snake just now, he immediately threw away his hoe and ran to the bluestone under the tree to cool off.
"Brother Zhengzhì, do you want to drink water?" Tiger Niu watched him come over and handed him a water bottle.
Ye Zheng happened to be a little thirsty, took her water bottle, and planned to drink the water and go home to think about it in the long run, this kind of search seemed like looking for a needle in a haystack.
While feeling deflated, he closed his eyes slightly, raised his head and poured a small mouthful. But before the water could reach his mouth, his eyes suddenly opened suddenly, and he looked at the grass below, the corners of his mouth twitching.
