Chapter 1: Big Stars and Tomb Robbers
A blood moon hung diagonally in the sky, casting an eerie dark red on the desolate forest slope. The forest was eerie, and all kinds of strange sounds appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Holding his mobile phone in his left hand for lighting and a branch in his right hand, Xu Nuoyi poked and poked along the way, struggling to climb down the hillside.
On the way uphill, she couldn't stop muttering "God bless" in her mouth, while scolding the big-bellied Chinese director dozens of times in her heart.
As for why she came to this place in the middle of the night?
That's a long story......
More than two months ago, as a rising star in South Korea in recent years, Xu Nuoyi came to Hengdian, Zhejiang Province, China, at the invitation of an international entertainment company to participate in a suspense movie jointly produced by China and South Korea. After a busy few months, it was finally coming to an end, and the work of the crew was greatly reduced, and many Chinese actors returned home early without even waiting for the director to announce their disbandment.
Their Korean team, which went to a foreign country, also breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone also made an appointment to go to the tourist area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to play together.
Indeed, China has a long history and a vast land, and any Zhejiang Province is bigger than South Korea. It's hard to come out of it, and it's a shame not to have a good time!
Xu Nuoyi has already thought about it, she wants to learn from China's famous beauty Xi Shi, boating on the West Lake, taking beautiful selfies, and her eight million fans are still looking forward to it on Weibo, always waiting for her latest news!
But before Xu Nuoyi, who was the last to get off work, drove out of Hengdian, he was called back by an urgent call from the hateful fat director, saying that today is the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is a traditional Chinese ghost festival, and there are incense, candles, and paper money everywhere......
Assi?! (Korean for "really")
Sister, my assistants are all in Hangzhou at the moment! Why do you have to rush back at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and then go to the set by then?!
In your Chinese proverb, at that time, the daylilies were cold!
There was no way, so Xu Nuoyi had to drive to the set alone.
Unexpectedly, the car turned off halfway, and Xu Nuoyi, who didn't want to be late, simply held his mobile phone, leaned on a tree branch, crossed the mountains, and took a shortcut to the set.
So, there is the scene before the beginning......
After tossing for a long time, Xu Noyi finally climbed the mountain out of breath, presumably behind the mountain...... It should be on the set, right?
If she's not mistaken......
When Xu Nuoyi looked down expectantly-
Immediately realized the cruelty of reality.
Down the hillside, it's not the brightly lit crew she expected at all!
Rather, it is a more desolate, more eerie hillside.
On the hillside, there are small graves everywhere, with incense and candles in front of the graves, and tributes are placed, smoke curls and paper money flying, which is even more terrifying than the ghost film set of the crew.
Mygod!
Xu Noyi gasped.
Where is this?
I...... I don't think I'm going to get lost, am I?
She scratched her head, craned her neck to look left and right, and finally noticed a bright light behind the hill in the distance on the left, and the crew's studio could be vaguely visible.
"Aha, it's over there! Sister just said...... Ou Ye—"
Xu Nuoyi was overjoyed, and his originally weak body had the strength again, and he immediately stumbled in the direction of the crew. But before she could run a few steps, her feet suddenly emptied, and the whole person fell down in an instant.
"Ahh
The screams were quickly drowned out in the thick layers of earth.
A minute later......
Let's get a few! (Korean: Stinky Bastards)
Xu Noyi endured the pain and struggled to stand up from the mound of dirt in great embarrassment, covered in mud and surrounded by darkness.
In the dim light, she easily touched her phone and took a picture around, only to find that she had fallen into a deep hole dug by someone nowhere.
Looking up, the entrance to the cave was at least four or five meters high, but fortunately I fell on a large mound of dirt, otherwise I would have broken my leg......
But...... The entrance to this cave is so high, how can it be climbed up?
I looked at my phone, there was no signal at all, I could only use it as a flashlight, and it seemed that I could only rely on myself.
Xu Nuoyi hung his head and sighed: "Which family dug the grave?" is so lacking in morality, there is not even a sign that pedestrians stop! Yes...... There's a passage here, so let's hope there's an exit at the other end of the passage......"
Holding on to the earthen wall, she carefully moved along the passageway, and after making two small turns, her eyes suddenly opened up.
However, what appeared in front of her was a large ancient tomb chamber!
What a burial chamber it really is!
The tomb was the size of a basketball court, and in the center of the tomb was a huge black coffin, with dozens of white waxes burning on both sides of the coffin.
What's even worse is that the candle flame turned out to be a strange dark green, and the atmosphere is extremely weird.
Xu Nuoyi was suddenly petrified, she trembled all over, and with a "click", even her mobile phone fell to the ground.
Then, various ghost movie scenes immediately came to her mind.
"God, this ...... Isn't it really ...... Really haunted, right? I...... Sister, I'd better go back and challenge that four-meter-high hole......"
Picking up his phone in a hurry, Promise turned around and was about to exit the tomb......
"Ahh......h Woo-"
The moment she turned around, a gust of wind blew behind her, and then a big hand covered her mouth, and the other hand tightly clasped her little waist and held her firmly.
"Woo-"
Xu Noyi couldn't make a sound, feeling like she was being restrained, and dragged her backwards.
was forcibly dragged for more than ten meters, and the man behind him suddenly exerted force, lifted her up, and threw her to a corner of the tomb, only then did he let go, took a few steps back, and looked at her expressionlessly.
Xu Nuoyi's throat was stuck uncomfortably, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, his eyes widened, and he looked at the person who attacked him in great trepidation.
It was the face of a young man, with delicate features, but wearing an eerie black night suit.
To her horror, there was no expression on the young man's cold face, living like a dead man.
Behind him, a few steel drills and shovels were scattered around, and in the distance there were a few bronze objects stained with dirt.
"Thief...... Tomb robbers? ”
Xu Noyi had seen the description of the tomb robber in the script, and it was easy to judge the identity of the other party.
Subconsciously, she got up and ran, and after a few steps, she heard a burst of wind, and then a cold flying knife flew against her scalp and nailed deep into the crack in the rock a few centimeters above her forehead.
The knife dug deep into the crevice of the rock, and the tail of the knife was still shaking violently.
"Woo......"
Xu Noyi was so frightened that he collapsed and sat on the ground.
"If you want to live, be honest!" The mysterious young man frowned and said coldly.
"Ahh......hh Good man Oba, please don't kill me, don't kill me! I didn't see anything...... Smecta, I didn't see anything, mine, just ...... Just an actor who accidentally passed by...... Passing by here...... That bead to Jima (Korean: Don't Kill Me)! ”
Xu Nuoyi had tears in his eyes, his mouth was shouting Chinese and Korean, and his hands were desperately waving for mercy.
The man still looked her up and down expressionlessly, hesitated for a while, stepped forward to pull out the flying knife, then picked up a piece of hemp rope on the ground, brushed it a few times, and tied Xu Nuoyi into a rice dumpling from top to bottom.
Xu Noyi pleaded pitifully: "Oba, Oba, please spare me......"
Before he finished speaking, another piece of hemp rope was stuffed into his mouth.
"Woo ......"
The man picked up Xu Nuoyi from his waist and sat upright in the corner of the wall, leaving a sentence of "Stay honest, or I will kill you!" ”
With that, he turned and left.
Xu Nuoyi took the rope in her mouth, nodded obediently, and when the man turned around, she immediately changed to an angry look, glared at the other party's back, and cursed this hateful bastard silently.
"Ah, how can there be such a despicable person in the world! This abominable grave robber! Yes! How dare he ...... How dare you gag the mouth of me, a future star, with such a dirty rope! Ah, wait for me...... When my sister goes out, I must let my eight million followers beat him into a pig's head! ”
After venting in his heart, Xu Noyi's mood finally improved, and his eyes widened again, watching the other party's every move curiously.
After all, it's still exciting to see tomb robbers robbing tombs with your own eyes!
The mysterious young man, holding a torch in his left hand and a stiff-bristled brush in his right hand, walked to the walls around the tomb and carefully cleaned up the surrounding murals, with a very serious attitude.
Instead of looking for gold and silver jewelry, but interested in studying murals?
This guy is really weird!
Xu Nuoyi secretly thought that this guy looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, but his face was full of old age that was diametrically opposed to his age. The movements also look extremely skillful and professional, like a young and handsome archaeologist......
No, it's a very fierce and domineering veteran tomb robber!
As the young man cleaned up, the murals around him gradually became clearer, revealing many hideous monster patterns. Those monsters are vividly portrayed, and under the light of the torches, they seem to come to life at any time, and Xu Nuoyi is also a little distracted.
God, today is really a long insight, sister, I have never seen, or even heard of such a splendid civilization in ancient China?
These strange animals......
I don't think I've ever seen it in books or video records!
What kind of monster is that three-headed dragon with wings and fire?! And a giant elephant covered in spikes? Also, there is the giant python with mottled patterns, and this giant python has three huge sharp horns on its head!
Could these murals have been painted by ancient Chinese?
Is this their animal totem?
But......
But the ancients at that time had such an amazing imagination?
Or is it ...... Did they really live with these behemoths in the same era?
