Mr. Wu just took advantage of his glasses, bent down to look at them more carefully, and then replied categorically: "That's right! This is the work card of the Qilu Museum, I have worked there before, so I should not admit that I am mistaken. ”

After speaking, the muscles on Mr. Wu's face twitched a few times.

"Isn't Old Song in Qilu Museum! Could it be that the Qilu Museum sent more than Lao Song himself? Liu Liwei wondered.

"That's not right!" Teacher Wu shook his head and said, "I remember this very clearly, he was the only one who participated in the expedition at that time!" ”

Yang Jianqiang nodded: "Just open it and look at this person's information!" ”

After Liu Xili put on his white gloves, he carefully uncovered the skin of the work card, although it had been glued together, but the air here was dry, and it was on a stone platform more than three meters high, and it was easy to separate the skin from the title page with a dagger.

As the cover was opened, I first saw a faded headshot, and I was about to identify the slightly blurred handwriting on one side, only to hear Liu Xili exclaim: "Huh? This...... It's impossible! ”

Song Jiaming? I also saw the name of the person on the work card, it turned out that the person who died here was called Song Jiaming, this name I had heard for the first time.

Mr. Wu leaned out half of his body with a very exaggerated movement, snatched the work card in Liu Liwei's hand, and shouted three times in a row, "Impossible!" ”

After seeing the information on the work card, Yang Jianqiang, Ma Huadong, and Xue Chuanqiang all showed extremely surprised expressions.

This makes me even more confused, could it be that they all know this person?

Unfortunately, the photo is very blurry, and only the general outline of this person can be seen.

"You all know this man?" I couldn't resist asking a few old men.

Teacher Wu stared at the dried corpse on the ground with his eyes, ignoring me at all, Liu Liwei handed over the work permit to Yang Jianqiang, and slowly stood up: "Are you asking about the owner of the work permit or the dry corpse?" ”

I didn't understand what he meant, so I had to ask, "What?" Isn't the name on this badge the corpse? ”

Liu Liwei frowned and replied, "We thought it was just now, but now it seems that it is absolutely impossible." ”

"Why?"

"You...... You don't know who Song Jiaming is? Liu Liwei asked me rhetorically.

"I don't know! I've never heard of that name. ”

At this time, Wu Jinghan behind me pulled me and whispered in my ear: "Song Jiaming is Professor Song!" ”

"What? You said this dried corpse is Professor Song! This...... How is this possible! ”

Yang Jianqiang glanced at me: "What Director Liu means is that this work certificate belongs to Lao Song, and he didn't say that this dried corpse ......."

Under the work card is a phone book, which may be close to the body in the pocket, and it has been glued together, Liu Liwei tried several times, but failed to open it.

Who is this man? Dressed in the clothes of the expedition team back then, with Professor Song's work card in his pocket, what made me feel even more strange was that just twenty minutes ago, Professor Song suddenly left the team, his sudden departure and the discovery of this dried corpse should not be a coincidence, right?

At this moment, this has to make people think: does he know that there is a corpse of the expedition team members here? But even if he knew, there was no need to leave suddenly, and coupled with the strange behavior before, it was even more certain that he had a lot of things to hide from us, and this matter was probably not seen in the light of day......

"It seems that we can't take the corpse out, so let him continue to rest here!"

Yang Jianqiang took out a rainproof cloth from his bag, lightly covered the corpse, took out a small bottle of wine, sprinkled half a bottle on the ground, and then said: "This brother, I don't know what to call it, life is impermanent, the world is unpredictable, you can rest here!" ”

Han Jianjian whispered behind me, "Brother Dong, ...... you Did you hear anything? ”

"What's the sound? Didn't the professor say that the sound was caused by the wind blowing in the cave? What's so strange! ”

Han Jianjian shook his head: "I'm talking about another sound, like a lot of people shouting around, there are faint crying, the voice is very low, but as long as you pay a little attention, you can still hear it clearly." ”

I listened closely, and sure enough, I heard a faint sound coming from the darkness around me, which was all as if it were real, and as if I had tinnitus.

I talked to Yang Jianqiang and Meng Lao.

Meng Lao said slowly: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid that you don't believe it, since ancient times, this kind of sacrificial place has been very evil!" It is said that this place is far away...... The closest to the other world, the souls of many unjustly killed people are crying out around them, wanting people here to hear. ”

Hearing that the back of my neck was cold, Wu Jinghan held my hand tightly.

"Alright! Meng Lao, don't be kidding! Let's go down first. ”

Meng Lao wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Yang Jianqiang with a smile, and several people returned to the altar and found a vacant place to rest.

"Several! Things have changed a little, and the top priority is to find Lao Song. After several people sat together, Yang Jianqiang spoke first.

Ma Huadong waved his hand: "I've seen enough!" It was obvious that he left us on purpose, and the flashlight was not turned on, and the headlights were turned off, which means that he didn't want us to find it at all, and I have a feeling that he was here after going down the cave! ”

Several others nodded in agreement.

Ma Huadong continued: "No matter who this dry corpse is, it must have a lot to do with Lao Song, he should be more familiar with this area than us, and I think he will naturally appear when it should appear." ”

The three special police officers gave each of them some food and water, and it was really a shame for them to follow, except for the three special police, each of us was carrying a large bag, and the three special police officers were carrying a large one on their backs, and each of them carried a small one, and the weight was more than twice that of us.

After eating a few bites, Mr. Wu proposed to stay and study the Dongyi sacrificial ground, especially the narrative painting on the stone of the altar, if this ancient material is not in such an environment, it cannot be preserved at all, and the preciousness can be imagined, but the words were rejected by Yang Jianqiang as soon as they were spoken.

"No! Mr. Wu, we are here with a superior mission this time. ”

Unexpectedly, in addition to Mr. Wu's objection, Yang Jianqiang's words were opposed, and even Ma Huadong and Xue Chuanqiang also questioned them.

"Team Leader Yang, the Dongyi tribe is a religious-oriented tribe, and inspecting their sacrificial sites is of great help to understand this tribe, which is ...... This discovery can even go down in history. ”

The three old men seemed to be very excited, and they argued with Yang Jianqiang together. It is said that three women are in one play, and I think the three old men are also very powerful.

Yang Jianqiang frowned and waved his hand to signal them to be quiet first.

"Professors, tell you the truth! This time we came down with a most important secret mission. He seemed to hesitate, paused, and continued, "I can't tell you about this, but it's come to this—you might as well tell you!" ”

This is the first time I have seen Yang Jianqiang so hesitant, and I can't help but be curious.

Liu Liwei was also obviously stunned: "Team Leader Yang, do we have other tasks this time?" ”

Team Leader Yang nodded: "This is arranged by the superiors, according to a file, there is a strange bronze mine underground, this copper mine is very special, and the bronze smelted can make people hallucinate...... The archives also record that there is another Yellow River in this underground space, the source of which is a well, and a person can be reborn if he is placed in the well within twelve hours after death! ”

"What?"

"It can't be!"

"It should just be a legend similar to 'Nuwa mends the sky'!"

Several old men closed their mouths in surprise.

Liu Liwei shook his head, sighed deeply, and said: "I didn't know that there was a bronze mine underground here, but the bronze that was fished out of the Yellow River a few days ago, I have seen its power, if those bronzes and the bronze statue really come from here, then I believe that the bronze mine here is not ordinary." ”

At the mention of the bronze, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, there is still no reasonable explanation for the fact that those bronzes and bronze statues can kill people. It was explained before that the eyes of the bronze statue were the kind of black elixir refined by the ancients found in the Yellow River before, and all the magical abilities came from this elixir, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, this can't be explained.

On that day, I saw very clearly that the bronzes I picked up on the Yellow River beach before were not large in size and did not carry black danshi, but they also indirectly killed several people, how can this be explained?

Yang Jianqiang smiled slightly: "The information says that the ancient well is hidden in an ancient tomb, and the ancient tomb is 'built by the mountain and built by the river', and there is a 'longevity fruit' that can make people come back from the dead...... Several! I also know that these words are bizarre, and I don't believe them, but I also believe that my superiors will not assign me such a task for no reason. ”

As he spoke, he took out a brown "handkerchief", and when I looked closely, it turned out to be an old animal skin with a picture drawn on it.

"At that time, my superiors gave me this hide." As he spoke, he handed it to Mr. Wu.

A few of us hurriedly gathered around and found that this was actually a four-copy picture, similar to the form of a comic book now.

After watching it for half a minute, Teacher Wu pointed to the animal skin with a trembling finger and exclaimed: "This should be the scene of the Dongyi Clan's Rebirth Festival, you ...... You see, in the first picture, they put this man in the puddle, and then they started the sacrificial ceremony, and you look at the last picture, and the man who crawled out of the puddle should be the one who was put into the water just now. ”

Ma Huadong patted the back of his head and exclaimed, "Oh my God! So this is the Day of Rebirth! I always thought it was just ...... It's just the spiritual sustenance of the ancients, just like worshipping heaven and earth...... Someone can't really come back from the dead, right? ”

Xue Chuanqiang also opened his mouth wide in shock: "The Dongyi clan is very mysterious and obscure, and many things are hard to say!" ”

"Guys, since I've told you about this, I hope you'll cooperate—of course, I'm sure you're interested in that, too!"

Everyone ate something and decided to follow the river to find the hole they had seen on the cliff before, and several old men guessed that the river next to the sacrificial site was the underground Yellow River in Yang Jianqiang's mouth.

While eating, Han Jianli couldn't help but be curious, and asked about the thousands of skeletons around the altar: "A few great professors, who are the people who died here?" Grandma's, so much, and her hands are tied behind her back in front of her, which is also ...... That's cruel! ”

Teacher Wu replied while eating: "These should be slaves at that time, the Shang and Zhou dynasties, especially the Shang Dynasty, attached great importance to sacrificial activities, and were particularly cruel to slaves, human sacrifice was prevalent at that time, just now we looked carefully, these skeletons are not piled up together, according to the degree of weathering of the bones, I estimate that the duration before and after is more than a hundred years." ”

Yang Huiling asked: "Teacher, do you mean that the Dongyi tribe has held sacrifices here for at least a hundred years?" ”

"A hundred years is still conservative, the real sacrifice time should be longer!"

"According to what Team Leader Yang said, there is a bronze mine in this underground space, and there is a well in the ancient tomb, and the ancient tomb was discovered during the Dongyi period, which ...... That doesn't make sense! I was also confused, so I asked casually.

Teacher Wu stood up, walked to the altar, and pointed to the carvings on the stone wall: "Maybe there will be hints in these narrative paintings!" ”

Everyone gathered around, and sure enough, it didn't take long to find such a narrative painting: a group of people with utensils in their hands, gathered in front of a mountain wall, looking like they were digging a mountain.

After Han Jianjian saw the content of the stone mural clearly, he clapped his hands excitedly: "I understand!" ”

Liu Liwei on the side sneered and asked, "What do you kid understand?" ”

"You can see what this picture is about!" Han Jianjian replied proudly.

"What do you mean by the painting?"

Han Jianjian pointed to the stone wall and said: "This is not simple, they are digging mountains, this is the story of Yugong moving mountains!" ”

These words made Wu Jinghan and Yang Huiling behind me laugh instantly.

Liu Liwei smiled bitterly and kicked him: "You don't understand anything, just be quiet, this mural existed earlier than the story of Yugong moving mountains, could it be that the person portrayed is a prophet?" ”

Han Jianjian scratched his head, thought for a while, and then shook his head and said, "Yes!" That...... What's that drawing? ”

Teacher Wu answered: "What he said is not entirely wrong, these people are indeed digging mountains, but they are not moving mountains, but ...... Instead, collect bronze ore! ”

After speaking, he pointed to the depiction of a stone mountain behind: "This picture is more obvious, they have made a big hole in the stone wall, if ...... If my guess is correct, this cave is the cave we saw on the cliff earlier. ”

Ma Huadong nodded thoughtfully: "You mean to say that the cave was dug out by them?" ”

"Of course, I'm just guessing, I always feel that since they carved these things on the stone wall of the altar, it should be a very important thing in their minds, which is in line with the characteristics of the narrative paintings of the ancients, and it won't be for no reason!"

"I also agree with Lao Wu!" Xue Chuanqiang said.

Ma Huadong said "um": "What about your reason?" ”

Xue Chuanqiang nodded and replied, "The Rebirth Festival is the most important festival of the Dongyi tribe, and the sacrificial activities are the most important place for the entire tribe, so they should set up the sacrificial place near the place they think is the most important. ”

I said it so thoroughly that even I understood it.
