The Secret Words of Immortality Chapter 3 The Earth Dragon Soars to the Sky
In the blink of an eye, 1,500 years have passed, and it is not only the sound of horses' hooves that has disappeared, but also the true nature of history.
Late one night in the 18th year of the Republic of China, 40 miles east of Heishui County, Xihai Province, on a huge yellow hillside, a diesel generator was running "boom, boom".
Compared with Zhangjiazhuang, which is pitch black 20 miles away, the hillside is brightly lit and mottled with people. Seven or eight people were carrying out civil engineering work unscrupulously.
An old man with a white beard skillfully used a Luoyang shovel to poke down inch by inch, and lifted it out inch by inch. He looked at the soil layers piled up on the side of different colors, picked up a small handful with his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and said with great joy: "Big brothers, the hall can be found, dig it for me!" ”
When several big men with broad shoulders and round waists heard the news, they picked up the shovel like a whirlwind, and suddenly the dust was flying, and the sand and stones were rolling, but in half an hour, the shovel shoveled onto a piece of "hard goods", and the shovel was knocked off a few gaps, and it could no longer be shoveled.
After careful cleaning, a white marble door appeared in front of him.
"Hurry up, up, Yo Xi." A short and dumpty man in a black shirt and black silk pants excitedly summoned several of his men. This short and fat man was dressed in Chinese clothes, but he spoke a mouthful of Dongying words.
"Okay, you're in the eye!" A tall, lanky "gopher-drilling" Mali loaded the explosives. "Gopher-drilling" is the name given to tomb robbers in the northwest, these people are ruthless, mercenary, and even for the treasure in the ancient tomb, often eat black.
When the Dongying people discovered this ancient tomb, they hired a few local "drill gophers" as helpers to dig the ancient tomb together to find treasures. The two sides agreed in advance to get half of the treasure, and the Dongying people were responsible for providing equipment, and they also promised to pay an additional 5 oceans to the "drill gophers".
Although the "drill gophers" have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, they don't know that these Dongying people are more vicious and vicious, because the "drill gophers" are just for money, and the Dongying people have ulterior secrets.
When a "gopher driller" laid out the explosive line, he just ignited the fire and detonated, but was tightly held by the white-bearded old man.
"What are you doing?" When the "gopher driller" saw the old man stopping him, he scolded him.
"I said big brother, there is a way to steal, there is a way to explore treasures, and there are rules for opening the door. This door must not be opened like this, it will disturb and anger the ghosts and gods, and bring unwarranted disasters. The old man advised, "Let's make a hole in the crutch and go in." ”
The old man was a guide hired from the village, and it is said that when he was young, he used to go to the ancient tombs, and now he is old enough to do some work on the ground.
"Yours, get out of here with the bounty!" Anyway, he had already found a place, and when the Dongying people saw that the old man was in the way, he was quite burdensome, so he smashed a handful of oceans on the old man and kicked him away.
The two big men looked at each other and smiled, stepped forward to pick up the old man and threw him down the hillside.
"The ...... that will die It's going to die! The old man's screams were intertwined with the desolate cries of the night owls, and it sounded really creepy in the middle of the night, but after a while, the old man lost his voice, and must have rolled down to the bottom of the mountain.
"Haha, this old immortal, looking for death!" Dongying people are a little proud, these days in China, he is indeed used to being powerful.
"What are you doing in a daze? Fry me! Seeing the Dongying people crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the "drill gophers" were also a little surprised, and they were thinking about whether they would suffer this fate, and under the urging of the Dongying people's roar, they lit the fuse.
With the hoarse and crazy howls of Dongying, the white marble gate was blown to pieces, and a deep tomb was revealed.
Although the methods were rude, just in case, the Dongying people still arranged an exhaust fan to pump the air in the tomb for half an hour.
"Yours, go ahead." The Dongying people pointed their pistols at the "thin and tall man" and asked him to stand in front of him as cannon fodder, and let the other two Dongying people follow him, wearing gas masks and a rope attached to their waists, and the other end of the rope was tied to a large tree outside the cave entrance and tied with a bell.
Dongying people knew that as soon as the bell rang, he and the three "drill gophers" would desperately pull out.
In addition to carrying a small generator, an exhaust fan, and a gas mask, he also brought the latest industrial miniature pistols and explosives from Dongying, plus the help of "gophers", he has reason to believe that even the most powerful master will be wiped out on the spot by his well-trained men.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a muffled sound in the cave, and the Dongying people showed a sly smile, and this time it was estimated that they had found it again.
"Sir, would you like a few bites?" The smell is exciting! A "gopher-drilling" handed the dry tobacco to the Dongying people.
"Take it, take it, what chokes your nose?" Dongying felt that this group of people was really earthy, he shook his hand disdainfully, and the smoke from the burning of inferior tobacco was scattered everywhere by him.
Just when the Dongying people despised the dry smoke, a rapid gunshot once again pierced the quiet night sky, and the "drill gophers" stood still, but the Dongying people's faces turned into the color of dead trees like chameleons, and he heard it vividly when he was born as a soldier, and it was clearly the sound of a miniature pistol produced in Dongying.
Did you meet a powerful character under the tomb? Dongying people thought of the old man's warning words before, and couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.
The people of Dongying were in confusion, and the bell of the rope tied to the tree also rang urgently.
"Hurry, pull up!" Dongying people seemed to come back to their senses, and shouted for the "drill gopher" to pull the rope up, but the "drill gopher" felt that the rope in his hand was like being stuck, and he couldn't pull it.
"Rubbish, look at me!" Dongying people raised their bare sleeves, revealing their tense and muscular arms, and desperately pulled the rope with the "drill gopher", but found that the head of the rope seemed to be firmly drilled into the ground, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move half a minute.
"Ahhhh......h
Just as they were about to run out of strength, the Dongying people and the "gopher-drilling" found that they felt the other end of the rope loosen, and they pulled the rope, lost their balance of power, fell backwards, and fell firmly.
"Hurry up and pull again! Pull it up and add 10 oceans per person. Dongying people didn't care about the pain in the buttocks, and kicked on a "drill gopher", the "drill gophers" were ready to be lazy and give up, but when they heard that there was a big ocean to take, they suddenly hit the chicken blood, jumped up and grabbed the rope and dragged it up, and the previous timidity had already been thrown out of the clouds.
After a while, they finally reached the end, and they found that the rope had been pulled up, but the man was gone.
Dongying people leaned over to take a look, the rope was broken, and the broken place showed irregular cracks, as if it had been bitten by something, covered with red blood, and the red blood was still seeping down drop by drop.
When they were dumbfounded, a two-foot giant python came out of the hole and swallowed the head of a "drill gopher" into its stomach.
"Mom, it's the dragon soaring into the sky." The remaining "gophers" scattered in all directions. The Dongying people didn't care about their partners in the tomb, and ran down the hillside to the large woods at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of "sizzling" kept sounding in the back.
Under the thrill, the Dongying people only hated their father and mother for having a few legs, and they crawled and panted into the woods, and the screams of "drill gophers" behind them pierced the dark night.
I don't know how long I ran, Dongying didn't notice that he tripped over something, fell a "dog gnawing mud", and hit a camphor tree, he couldn't run anymore, and the giant python wanted to eat him, so he accepted his fate.
He just touched the pocket of his jacket and found that the thing was still there, so he breathed a deep sigh of relief, took out his cigarette case, turned on the lighter with his trembling right hand, and prepared to light a cigarette, but found that he could not light it.
It turned out that Dongyingren's neck was strangled by death, and he felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, but he couldn't make a sound of the extremely painful "ahhh
With just half a cigarette, the Dongying people disappeared into the deep bushes.
Half a month later, a hunter went into the mountains to hunt, stumbled upon a generator and other machinery on the hillside, and hurriedly ran back to the village to report to the chief. After reporting to the county layer by layer, the county sent experts to investigate and found the entrance of the cave, which was determined to be an ancient tomb.
Subsequently, this incident actually alarmed Commander Hong of Xihai Province, he personally issued an order, asking the Chang'an Institute of Archaeology to carry out rescue excavations, the Institute of Archaeology set up an archaeological team led by Director Cheng Qingyun and Deputy Director "Xu Daring" as the deputy leader, with the cooperation of the Heishui County Police Department, leading the capable forces of the Institute to excavate.
Professor Cheng strongly recommended an intern archaeologist, Mu Zifeng, on the grounds that although Mu Zifeng had just graduated, he had outstanding academic performance and strong professional knowledge, and was a good material for archaeology. And Li Yanjin, who was recommended by the deputy team leader "Xu Daring", was denied by Cheng Qingyun on the grounds that his qualifications were mediocre.
So Mu Zifeng, who had just joined the company, was fortunate to join the archaeological team, and at the same time became a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of "Xu Daring" and others.
