After making such a fuss, the three of us can no longer rest in peace, Qiu Yan proposed to take turns to sentry, because tomorrow we still have to climb the mountain, no matter what, the three of us have to take a rest to save our strength for tomorrow.

I agreed to Qiu Yan's proposal, so I proposed that I come to the first shift, and Qiu Yan nodded and agreed.

The strange thing is that since this knock on the door, there has been no movement at the door, and I watched the night sky gradually brighten up, so I didn't wake Qiu Yan and them.

In a daze, I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, I saw Qiu Yan packing her luggage.

Yesterday's wild boar meat was not eaten, and Erwa put the pork into his cloth bag without care, and smiled at me:

"Don't waste it."

Qiu Yan saw that I was awake, so she handed me a wet tissue, I wiped my face, ate some snacks handed by Qiu Yan, and then continued on my way.

Along the way, we discussed what the situation was last night, discussed and discussed, and in the end, Qiu Yan's statement was more reliable.

Qiu Yan said, although I don't know why Huzi didn't react, but it was more likely that it was a monkey who knocked on the door last night, considering the size I saw, Qiu Yan corrected that if it wasn't a monkey, it might be an ape, after all, it was not uncommon for an ape to appear in this deep mountain and old forest.

Hearing Qiu Yan say this, I was relieved, judging from the white on the back, it might indeed be a white-haired ape.

It's just that I still can't let go of the three dogs, I saw them jumping around this morning, nothing abnormal, but why didn't they react at all?

The road up the mountain is very difficult to walk, and I think things are even more difficult to walk, and the second baby said that when I climb this mountain, the opposite side of the col is Pujiling.

I asked Erwa why it is called Pujiling, is it because the mountain looks like a pinched kei?

Erwa shook his head and said that he didn't know either, but he called it like that, and he called it like that.

After climbing for more than three hours, we finally climbed to the "top of the mountain" in the mouth of Erwa, the so-called "top of the mountain", which is a small mountain bag in front of us, which looks like it has climbed to the top, but in fact there is a higher mountain ahead.

In front of the hill bag, there is really a col as Erwa said, the col is not deep, the visual inspection is up to 50 meters of drop, the front of the col is a huge C-shaped mountain, from a distance, it really looks like an old-fashioned dustpan.

Qiu Yan put down her backpack and turned out the tent mat and everything, and I asked her what she was going to do.

Qiu Yan said:

"The gold and the cave have to rely on the geography of the mountains, as well as the sun, moon and stars, you can see the mountains here, let's rest first, and when the stars come out at night, I can find the ancient tomb according to the stars."

I didn't know what to do, but seeing Qiu Yan say the truth, I felt that was the case, so I also took off my backpack and prepared to set up camp.

Who knew that the second baby came over at this time and said:

"What's so troublesome, the tombstone is in Pujiling, and you can see it when you pass by."

Qiu Yan looked at me after hearing this, and her face immediately turned red, this girl probably wanted to show off her ability, but she didn't expect to be disturbed by the second baby's words.

I smiled secretly, and stuffed the things back into my bag, Qiu Yan did the same, we got it right, and walked towards the col.

I asked Erwa what was going on with the tombstone, and Erwa said that the tombstone had been standing there for a long time, and although the people of Xiawan Village did not know who was buried in it, they all knew that it was an ancient tomb, so whenever the tombstone fell, the villagers of Xiawan Village would come to help when they saw it, and in this way, the tombstone has been dozens of hundreds of years, but it has never disappeared.

I asked Erwa if there were any words on the tombstone, but Erwa shook his head, saying that he had only followed the tombstone once, and he had not specifically come to see the tombstone, so he didn't know if there were any words on it.

After we climbed up from the col, we saw some rocky things on the ground, these things seemed to me nothing special, if Qiu Yan hadn't reminded me to look, I might have only thought that it was just some irregular hillside ground.

But Qiu Yan didn't think so, she squatted down, brushed away the weeds, and then explained as she walked along the field:

"Look, here, here, and the corner there, He Zimu, here is a house of more than forty square meters."

"Here, it's so big, this house is at least two hundred square meters."

"This place should be a side house, He Zimu, you see, this circle doesn't look like a fire pit?"

Qiu Yan ran here and there for a while, as excited as if she had discovered a new world, and finally, she concluded:

"It seems that the legend that Uncle Peng said is true, these houses here are enough for twenty or thirty people to live."

We looked around, and then went to the tombstone, which is at the top of the entire C-shaped mountain bend, and has the potential to overlook the entire mountain bend, Qiu Yan put down his backpack and turned around in place, and then said:

"He Zimu, look, the mountains on these two sides don't look like two hands? Feng Shui always talks about dragon veins and dragon veins, if this mountain has a head, then isn't this ancient tomb just in the arms of this dragon? ”

After listening to Qiu Yan's words, I also turned around in place, and after looking around, I found that this place is really like what Qiu Yan said, not only that, the terrain here is much higher than the "top of the mountain" where we were before, standing next to the tombstone, you can see the layers of mountains in front of you, I think it is more like a Taishi chair than the embrace of the dragon, and the ancient tomb is located in the middle of the Taishi chair.

After Qiu Yan and I sighed for a while, we shifted our gaze to the tombstone, which was not so much a tombstone as a few more regular stones, but these stones were put together, quite like a tombstone.

However, on closer inspection, I found that there were some indistinct marks on these stones, which were obviously artificially carved, but they were unrecognizable because of their age, wind and water erosion.

Qiu Yan stroked the tombstone and said:

"Uncle Peng said that this family has not gone out since entering Pujiling, but this is a big family, they always have offspring!"

I smiled and said:

"Maybe like me, my ancestors hid their identities, and future generations didn't know anything."

Qiu Yan frowned and shook her head:

"No, you think, it's a legend, since a legend has been saying one thing for hundreds of years, then there is a chance that this matter is groundless, I think it may be that something happened during the period that caused this family to be unable to get out of here."

"You're saying that the men who were chasing them came here and slaughtered their entire family?" I asked.

"Maybe, anyway, I don't think this family would have been able to have no descendants under normal circumstances."

"And what's going on with this tombstone? It's not like the murderer who killed more than 20 of them even set up a tombstone for him, right? ”

"Uncle Peng mentioned that this person chose this place as a grave for himself in advance, and then escaped, maybe he set up the tombstone in advance?"

We were arguing about our conjectures, and I felt that this was a waste of time, so I asked:

"Okay, let's leave that alone, what are we going to do now? Let Xiang Wei come over to them? ”

Qiu Yan shook her head again, got up and said:

"No, this looks like an ordinary grave, there is no burial chamber, I think we should be able to dig it out."

Before I could object, Qiu Yan began to rummage through her backpack: before we set off, we not only brought camping gear, but also a portable sapper shovel.

Qiu Yan didn't work too hard, turned out the shovel and began to kneel on the ground to plan, I shook my head helplessly, took out the shovel and joined in.

The ground here was very difficult to plan, and the ground was full of all kinds of grass stems and some tree roots, and we dug for hours before we could dig a foot deep.

"Qiu Yan, it's been hundreds of years, maybe the ancient tomb has been buried very deeply, why don't you wait for Xiang Wei and them to come over?" I advised.

Qiu Yan was still digging with her head down, and she didn't even raise her head after listening to my words, and said:

"It will take several days for Xiang Wei to come over, and besides, their equipment is not used to dig this kind of grave."

In desperation, I had no choice but to accompany Qiu Yan to continue digging.

In this way, we dug for about two hours, and each of us dug a big hole more than a meter deep, but we didn't dig anything.

"Could it be that there is only a tombstone here, and they are not buried here?" I asked.

In fact, in my opinion, this possibility is very high, and it is said that they were chased and killed here, and perhaps after the pursuers arrived, the family fled deeper into the mountains and forests, so there is a saying that the family never came out of here.

After digging for so long and without results, Qiu Yan was also a little dazed, she threw away the shovel, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said:

"Forget it, it's been hundreds of years, maybe it's just a pile of bones when it comes out, I shouldn't have come here without preparing anything!"

Listening to Qiu Yan's somewhat angry words, although I was a little sorry for her, I was still relieved, and finally ended this aimless work.

I shook my neck to relax my swelling muscles, and then inserted the shovel under my body, but I didn't expect this insertion to insert half of the shovel, and the feeling when I inserted the shovel was obviously different from before.

I pulled out my shovel and pushed the dirt around me, revealing a dry, rotting piece of wood underneath.

"Qiu Yan, come and take a look!" I called Qiu Yan over loudly.

Qiu Yan jumped into the pit I had dug, leaned over to look at the wood, and then said in surprise:

"It's a coffin!"

It's the first time I've seen someone happy to see a coffin, and I don't know how to react for a while.

"Are you sure? You must know that hundreds of years have passed, and it stands to reason that this coffin should have rotted long ago! I questioned.

Qiu Yan didn't think so, waved her hand at me, and said:

"No, not necessarily, the degree of decay of the wood is related to the material, texture, environment, and disposal of the coffin, haven't you seen many official excavations of ancient tombs not only the body is not damaged, but the coffin is intact?"

I thought about it carefully, it was indeed what Qiu Yan said, so I continued to expand the pit I dug, Qiu Yan ran back to get a shovel, and ran back to dig with me.

After another hour, we finally dug out the entire top of the coffin, but the result of the digging made Qiu Yan and I dumbfounded.
