With my extraordinary eyesight and the function of infrared glasses, as soon as I stepped out of the livestock sacrifice ground, I saw a faint red mist about a thousand meters in front of me, and the sound came from the fog.

The red mist lingers, giving people a very strange feeling.

When we walked two or three hundred meters, a special police officer exclaimed: "I heard it too, there is ...... There is a sound! He pointed in front of him, and then everyone heard strange noises and saw a faint red mist.

Fog is formed by the movement of air due to temperature differences, and here it is 200 meters underground, where does the air flow come from...... Why is there fog! I thought that a few old men behind me would explain, but none of them said a word at the moment, just walked behind me, and before I knew it, more than a dozen people had walked into the fog.

Only then did I realize that the red fog didn't seem to be thick, but after being deeply immersed in it, even with infrared night vision goggles, the visibility was only seven or eight meters.

"Don't go any more!"

After walking for about thirty or forty meters, Liu Liwei behind me suddenly grabbed me.

"What's wrong? Viagra! ”

Being pulled by him like this, I was so frightened that I trembled all over, subconsciously took a step back, turned around and asked him.

"The fog in front of you is a little wrong!"

Wrong? I turned around again and noticed that the red mist seemed to be spinning five meters away, to be precise, as if there was a huge hair dryer on the ground, slowly blowing the red mist upward, and the fog on both sides instantly made up for it, so that it looked as if the whole fog was slowly circling in a large circle.

"Is there wind here?" I gasped.

"This is underground, how can there be wind!" Liu Liwei muttered back.

Xue Chuanqiang walked up to me, poked his head out, just glanced at his infrared glasses, and after a few careful glances, he said sharply: "There seems to be something underground!" ”

Something? It's already deep underground, so what's down there?

Liu Liwei asked us not to move first, he and the two special police officers slowly leaned over first, and the two of them walked seven or eight meters alone, stopped, and stared motionless at the bottom in front of them.

"Oh my God!"

"Below...... What's that down there? ”

Hearing the whispers of the three people, the doubts in my heart instantly reached a peak again.

"Liwei, what's over there?" Yang Jianqiang asked.

Liu Liwei turned his head and could see that his face was full of incredulity.

"Team Leader Yang, this ...... Here'......" he stammered before he finished speaking, "You'd better see for yourself!" ”

These words aroused my curiosity even more, and just after taking two steps, Liu Liwei reminded again: "Slow down, there is no road ahead!" ”

Before I could understand the meaning of his words, I felt that the blurred ground in front of me disappeared all of a sudden, and I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, there was a huge collapse a few meters in front of me, and it can also be said that Liu Liwei and the two special police officers were standing on the edge of the cliff at this time.

"Holy! Fortunately, I didn't cover my head and walked forward just now, this ...... If you fall down, you won't have to break your bones! Han Jianjian, who was beside him, scolded angrily.

The strange thing is that standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, there is no red mist below, but it is pitch black.

At this time, a clearer "whine" sound came from the collapse under my feet, and I was stunned when I heard it.

"Brother Dong, what kind of voice is this? There won't be any prehistoric giants! ”

Han Jianjian muttered. I know he's watched a lot of foreign sci-fi films.

"It sounds like the wind blows into the cave, and the underground space happens to act as a huge amplifier, and the whole thing is like a set of audio equipment, making the sound thin and transmitting far away, so it sounds like a human cry just now."

Ma Huadong explained.

"You mean there's a cave down there?" Yang Jianqiang asked.

"There should be one! Otherwise, there is no way to explain how the sound came to be. ”

Yang Jianqiang nodded and said to the special police officer behind him: "Prepare flares!" ”

Flares? What is a flare!

Just as I was wondering, I saw the tall SWAT take out a short black gun from his bag, break it, put in a few bullets the size of his thumb, press the bolt, and whisper to us: "It's not too loud, let's cover our ears!" ”

I hurriedly hugged Wu Jinghan in my arms, and after seeing her cover her ears, I also plugged my ear holes with my thumb.

The tall SWAT officer raised his gun towards the top of the pit.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, the eyes suddenly brightened as day, and a round ball emitting a blazing white light flew diagonally into the air.

The bright light lasted for three or four seconds before it gradually dimmed, and before the flare went out, there was another "bang", and the tall SWAT was fired again. , and the eyes instantly lit up again.

Although the two flares only lasted seven or eight seconds as bright as day, I could see everything underneath.

From our feet to the bottom of the pit, there are about 100 meters. There is an underground river about ten meters wide below, which slowly flows to the foot of the opposite mountain, and there is a big hole where the river enters the mountain.

Looking up along the entrance of the river, I couldn't help but take a deep breath, on the opposite cliff about 3,000 meters away, there were hundreds of black boxes, all of which were embedded in the cliff, which looked very strange and spectacular from a distance.

Below, by the river, there is a small mound of stones, more than four meters high, in the shape of a "gold".

The hillock is surrounded by gray-white branches.

Twig!!

Well? After thinking about it, this is an underground space, and there are no trees, so where are there so many branches? The point is that there are some gray-white spherical objects mixed in the messy branches.

This is...... While the light of the flare had not yet weakened, I took a closer look, and suddenly recognized what the gray branches around the small stone mound were, and my scalp exploded instantly. OMG! They were bones, and the spherical object was a skull, and even more frightening was what looked like a human skull.

I roughly estimated that there were at least thousands of gray bones around the "gold" shaped hill, and at first glance these bones were scattered around the hill, but when I looked at it again, I felt that the arrangement of the bones was not random, and I could faintly see a curved path in the bones, leading to the middle hill.

"Boy, do you see something?" Yang Jianqiang asked me.

I nodded and described the following situation, and before I could finish describing it, Ma Huadong behind me suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Black box! What black box? Xue Chuanqiang asked suspiciously.

"Rectangular! So big! I gestured with my hand.

"The cliff on the opposite side is more than two thousand meters away from our side, if you look so big, then it should actually be ......" Xue Chuanqiang was stunned and raised his voice, "This is impossible!" Could it be a hanging coffin? ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ma Huadong: "Old Ma, have you found a hanging coffin in Shandong?" ”

Ma Huadong shook his head: "The hanging coffin is the funeral form of some ethnic minorities in the south, all over Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Anhui, Hubei and other provinces, and it is also distributed in Shanxi in the north, but it has not been found in Shandong. ”

"Lao Wu, you are an archaeologist specializing in the study of the Dongyi people, this ancient ethnic group practices hanging coffin burial?" Xue Chuanqiang turned around and asked Teacher Wu again.

Teacher Wu smiled bitterly: "This matter is still an unsolved mystery in the archaeological world, it is said that their nation has gone through thousands of years, and among the dead people, there are many nobles alone, but to this day no ancient tomb of the Dongyi tribe has been found." Twenty years ago, the old Song thought that this underground space was the tomb group of the Dongyi tribe, but something happened......"

"You said the hillock below is a 'golden' zigzag?" Suddenly, Ma Huadong interrupted Mr. Wu's words with an exclamation.

I nodded, "yes!" ”

"Are the bones round and around the hillock?"

I nodded again.

"You...... You draw the general shape. Yang Jianqiang trembled and handed me a notebook and a pen.

In the third year of junior high school, because I was worried that I would not be able to get into high school, I followed the art teacher to learn sketching for half a year.

After the drawing, I returned the notebook to Ma Huadong, he just glanced at it, the muscles on his face twitched, and then took out another old notebook from the satchel, flipped through it a few times, and showed us the two open notes, one new and one old.

"Two pictures look like ah!" Wu Jinghan was surprised.

Teacher Wu said "um": "Old Ma, you ...... Where did you get this notebook? ”

"A few years ago, someone anonymously couriered to our office, when we were preparing a topic about ancient sacrifices, and there was a note in the notebook, saying that this was the place where the sacrifice was held in the most solemn festival of the ancient Dongyi tribe "Rebirth Festival". ”

"Oh? Old horse! And this thing, before you ...... Why didn't you say that? ”

Xue Chuanqiang asked, listening to the tone of voice that he didn't seem very happy.

"Brother, it's not that I deliberately want to hide it from you, the notebook was sent to our research group at that time, and after a few of us studied it, we decided that before we found out the truth, this matter was only known to a few people in the research group." Ma Huadong explained.

Ma Huadong put the two notebooks back in his bag, and smiled at Yang Jianqiang: "Team Leader Yang, forgive me for hiding it before, when I first received your call, I didn't want to participate in this scientific expedition, but when I heard you say that you were going to investigate a Dongyi ruins hidden underground, I decided to participate, and invited Lao Xue." ”

Yang Jianqiang replied quietly: "So we have hidden something before, which can be regarded as a flattening!" ”

"Old Ma, what do you say this place is?" Xue Chuanqiang took over and asked Ma Huadong.

"According to the description in the old notes, it should be the altar of the Dongyi tribe for the rebirth festival, which is the most mysterious place in the tribe."

Teacher Wu interjected: "The Rebirth Festival is the most important festival of the Dongyi people. Christmas in the Overseer, according to the information available to me, ceased to be celebrated by about the end of the Western Weekend. ”

"That's because there's no need to go through!" Ma Huadong said coldly.

"Oh? Why?" Teacher Wu asked hurriedly.

"According to the rubbings sent by the man, a major event happened in the Dongyi tribe in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which caused the tribal leader to no longer be able to complete the rebirth, so the traditional rebirth festival was later abandoned."

I heard this in a fog, what does it mean to be unable to complete rebirth, is there really someone in history who can be resurrected after death?

In my opinion, the so-called rebirth is nothing more than a good wish, in fact, not only the Dongyi people, but also the entire slave society and feudal society care about thick burials, especially the kings of all dynasties, most of them began to build mausoleums from the time of succession, and their purpose is to put it bluntly, that is, they hope that they can still live the same luxurious and happy life as before their death.

But since the history of mankind to the present, there has been a person who has really been reborn? No!

Teacher Wu sighed: "So far, the Dongyi tribe is still very hidden. The information available to the present time is not enough to unveil the mysterious peoples. ”

Several old men were chatting, and Yang Jianqiang coughed lightly: "Everyone! This is not the time for discussion, nor is it the place, and I hear you say that, we have the same purpose, and it seems that we have to go on a trip! ”

My mind quickly pondered what he meant:

The expedition team was set up by Yang Jianqiang, and it stands to reason that the purpose should be the same, but listening to their conversation just now, I figured out the delicate relationship between them, and it was Yang Jianqiang who invited them to assist the task force, but in fact, they were also divided into three factions.

Yang Jianqiang and Liu Liwei and the three special police officers are a faction whose purpose is to investigate the events of twenty or thirty years ago and solve the strange cases that have occurred along the Yellow River these days; Professor Song, Teacher Wu and his two students were a group that regarded this scientific expedition as an archaeology, with the purpose of unraveling the mystery of the Dongyi tribe; Ma Huadong and Xue Chuanqiang studied ancient religion and culture, and they were the third group, and they participated in the expedition to study the ancient sect of the Dongyi people. Teach culture.

As for me, Han Jianjian, Meng Lao and Professor Gu, they are simple and have no purpose, simply put, they are here to serve them.

The purpose of the three groups of people has a common feature, that is, it is related to the ancient Dongyi tribe, if the following is the altar of the rebirth festival, there is a group of tombs of the Dongyi tribe, it means that it is really the most mysterious place of the Dongyi tribe, then it should indeed go down.

Once we agreed, we began to discuss how to proceed.

The rock wall is not steep, and if you look closely, there are still vines the thickness of a wrist attached to the cliff, and the black light is blind, and you can't recognize what kind of plant it is. I think I'm careful, a few young people should be able to lie down, but what about a few old men and two ladies?

Just as I was at a loss, I saw three SWAT officers take out a few strange items from their bags.

"Xiao Liu, haven't you seen it? This is a soft ladder, a professional outdoor climbing artifact, let you see it today! ”

As he spoke, several people took out hammers and steel nails more than ten centimeters long from their bags, fixed one end of the three soft ladders to the rock, and threw the other end down.
