Chapter Seventy-Six: Thirty-Three Corpses
What the Taoist priest said was actually a dry well located behind the teaching building, bottomless, and there were strange wails coming from it, which was very terrifying.
The first person to discover the dry well was a Taoist priest, and he couldn't tell the situation in the well, so he called the old man. And after the old man carefully inspected the dry well, he immediately frowned, said that there was a situation down here, and then asked the Taoist priest to call me, and this was what happened.
Before coming to the dry well, as the Taoist priest said, there was a low whimper sound coming from the well, which sounded like a human sobbing, but it was mixed with some strange sizzling sounds similar to radio interference, which was very weird.
The old man's expression was solemn, and he said that he had looked at the entire school, but he had not found the source of the strange black qi, or that the entire school was the source. I was puzzled by the Taoist priest, who explained that the source of the breath was not in the school, but in the underground of the school, and that the school was just a medium for transmitting the breath.
He looked at the dry well and said to us, "There is something wrong with this well, we have to go down and see it alone!" ”
Hearing him say this, the Taoist priest and I looked at each other, this well is dark, even if we use a flashlight to shine, we can't see the bottom, and no one dares to go down for a while.
The old man looked at us and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to go down, but that I can't get out of my hands in case I go down and encounter an emergency; But if one of the two of you goes down, if the situation changes, I can still support it and not fall into a desperate situation. ”
The old man's words were very reasonable, I looked at the Taoist priest, and finally I gave him a look, saying that if he went down this time, I would give him half of all the gold. As soon as he heard this condition, his eyes straightened, and he said that the manly husband is full of words, and you are not allowed to go back on your mother's words.
As he spoke, he also made me swear a poisonous oath. I swear that this kind of thing is like a fart, and I forget about it, and I didn't plan to lie to him this time, so I swore a poisonous oath to the death of relatives and friends. The Taoist priest was shocked by the viciousness of my oath, and pulled the hemp rope over the well, and found that it was not a hemp rope, but a steel cable.
We were all stunned, the most common thing used to tie buckets to the wells is hemp rope, how can it be possible to use steel cables?
Suspicious, I helped the Taoist priest to twist up the steel rope that fell into the well little by little. Strange to say, I don't know when this steel cable was erected and what it was used for? If it is used to draw water, the use of steel rope is simply the same as killing the knife, and the steel cable is smeared with oil, although there is a slight corrosion, but it is not serious.
After we had been twisting at least 30 meters long, the thing hanging at the end of the steel cable was finally lifted, and the moment we saw the thing, we were all stunned, only to see that it was really not a bucket hanging underneath, but a mine cart carrying earth and stones.
I suddenly thought of what I said in the Fengyang Historical Chronicles, Bagan once said that the source of the gold mine is under the school, could this dry well be the mine that the village chief deliberately dug after listening to Bagan's words, and was worried that it would be discovered by others, so it was disguised as a well. But if this is the case, the disappearance of the two teachers and the mysterious death of more than 30 students are inseparable from this group of people.
When he was stunned, the Taoist priest had already cleaned up the stagnant water in the trailer, tried the quality of the trailer, and found that the rust was not serious and strong, so he climbed in. I gave him the flashlight, and the old man took out a black bone knife from his broken backpack, and I saw that the blade was densely packed with strange symbols, and there was a faint flicker of spiritual rhyme, even a layman like me knew that this thing was not simple.
Not to mention the Taoist priest, he is a person who knows the goods, and he took the short knife and played with it with love.
The old man asked him if he would use it, and the Taoist priest nodded, saying that Wu Dao was a family, and his Taoist true qi could also trigger this magic weapon. The old man nodded and motioned for me to let him go, and I hurriedly stirred the steel cable and slowly lowered him.
Watching the flashlight slowly dissipate in the dark, my heart also lifted, and suddenly remembered the picture of a well fishing for corpses in a certain zombie blockbuster, how similar it is to our current scene, and my heart said that I should not wait to rush out of some monster from under the well, right?
Thinking about it, my heart became more and more nervous, and fine beads of sweat oozed from my hands.
After about four or five minutes, the tightrope had reached its end, and the light of the flashlight was completely invisible under the well. I wanted to ask the Taoist priest what was going on below, but I was worried that if there was something terrible below, this shout would alarm the other party and harm the Taoist priest.
In my anxiety, I suddenly felt the steel cable shake violently, as if something had happened at the end. At this moment, the voice of the Taoist priest came up: "Come down quickly, there is a situation below." ”
At a height of more than thirty meters, the voice of the Taoist priest had changed when it reached the top, mixed with those weird whimpering sounds, which seemed a little scary, but being able to hear his voice at least proved that he was safe below.
I twisted the cart up again, and wanted the old man to go down first, because the last person to go down could not take the cart again, so he could only climb down the steel cable, the old man was old, I was afraid that he could not withstand the toss, but he did not appreciate it, and waved my hand to let me go first. I saw that he didn't care at all, so I didn't insist.
As soon as I got below, it was dark in front of me, and I didn't know what the situation was, but fortunately, the Taoist priest rushed over in time with a flashlight. By the light, I found that there was really a mystery at the bottom of the well, and the wall of the well on one side was dug horizontally a passage more than one person high, which extended diagonally downward, and there were traces of log support and reinforcement on both sides, which looked like a real mine, and those whimpering sounds came from the mine.
The old man also went down to the bottom of the well at this time, and the way he came down was a bit awesome, it was completely floating down, and the Taoist priest had already entered the mine, so I asked him what was going on inside. He scratched his head and said he didn't know how to describe it, so let's go in and see for ourselves.
I said in my heart that this dead Taoist priest also sold Guanzi, so I grabbed the flashlight and followed the old man in.
The farther you go inside, the clearer the muffled whimper becomes, and the air becomes dull and overwhelming. I feel that something is wrong, many mines will have poisonous gas, so there are generally ventilation facilities, at the moment this mine is more than 30 meters deep, and no one has come in for so long, in case there is toxic gas in it, or there is not enough oxygen, we are not prepared at all, I am afraid that we will suffer!
Thinking about it, I was about to voice my worries, but the Taoist priest suddenly stopped us and pointed to the wall for us to see. I turned my flashlight and noticed that the uneven stone walls on both sides of the mine were covered with graffiti. When I was in elementary school, I used to scribble on the walls of the school with chalk, and I was beaten a lot for it, but it was mostly the mischievous and innocent nature of children, and I could only see endless resentment and violence from the distorted expressions and broken bodies of these big-headed people on the stone walls in front of me.
This eerie graffiti stretched for more than twenty meters until the end of the mine.
"Shhh What a strong grudge, what the hell is going on here? The old man gasped and looked shocked.
At the same time, the whimpering sound sounded again, and it seemed to be in our ears, I subconsciously took a picture there, and suddenly found a huge honeycomb black boulder, more than ten meters high, at the end of the mine, those mournful whimpering sounds, it was from the hole in the boulder.
Our attention was all grabbed, and the Taoist priest walked to the bottom of the boulder, reached out and shook it in front of a hole at the bottom, and whispered, "Huh? Come here, there's wind in here. ”
Windy? How is this possible, this is more than 30 meters underground, and we are all inclined down all the way, it should be deeper, how can there be wind blowing out in such a deep place? Could it be that this wind is blowing from the ground?
The situation is unknown, we can't tell, and there is no way ahead. The old man took out a piece of yellow paper from his backpack and leaned into a hole, where the yellow paper was blown and shaken.
Is it really windy? I was shocked, and before I could react, I saw that the yellow paper turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"By the way, the source of everything is inside."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he had already climbed up the boulder, burrowed into a relatively loose hole, and began to climb in, without giving me and the Taoist priest time to react. Fortunately, we were used to his behavior, and we hurriedly followed him and got in.
The wind in the hole had a kind of coldness that pierced my soul, and it didn't take long for me to climb up, and my hands and feet had begun to stiffen, and this was still when the old man and the Taoist priest had already helped me block most of the yin wind.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and after climbing for a while, the old man at the front had already escaped from the hole.
Behind the honeycomb boulder was a small circular cavern, connected by two natural fissures, which led to some of them, and the violent wind blew intermittently through one of them, and I felt as if my soul was about to leave my body.
The man was stunned, and at the same time, the light swept over the corner of the round hole, and in a flash, I seemed to see a pile of white things piled up there. The Taoist flashlight flashed so fast that I couldn't see it clearly, but it seemed to be a pile of white bones.
At this time, the Taoist priest seemed to be aware of it, and hurriedly turned the flashlight back, and when he took a look, he saw a pile of white bones wrapped with rich black gas lying in the corner of the cave.
The two of them didn't seem to be affected by the yin wind, and they didn't notice anything wrong with me, and they immediately stepped forward when they found the white bones.
Seeing that the Taoist priest didn't notice me at all, I greeted his ancestor in my heart, but I had no choice but to stand and try to look over there.
"Damn, so many bones, they are all children's, oh my God, thirty-three, reporter, come and see, the bones of those children have been found."
