Chapter 9: The Deep Well

The further you go, the denser the mound becomes, and the messy shrubs completely obscure the original appearance of the mound, and there are no spider webs and birds and insects scurrying around in the wild.

Gradually, the graves collapsed more and more, and rotting coffins and bones could be faintly seen.

I crouched down and scanned my flashlight at the fact that there were no grave bricks inside, and the coffin was rotten like a ravaged broken mushroom.

I have a very good sense of direction, and I can always find the target accurately even if I go around in the middle after determining the direction.

Naturally, I will take the lead in crossing the grave.

The shrubs and grass were so dense that we groped forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

Occasionally encountering the remains of some dogs and chickens and ducks, it seems that we have entered a minefield.

Hua Rong's magnetic detector was always on, sometimes making a crisp ticking sound, which Hua Rong said indicated the presence of scattered metal objects in the mound.

Lin Xiyin saw that there were more and more collapses, and she kept reminding me to be careful.

No matter how much she reminded me, I still stepped on a few graves, but fortunately I was agile and was quickly pulled out by Xiyin.

"The grave is really shabby, except for the rotten board, there is not even a little artifact, what is the point of these people guarding the emperor's mausoleum?"

"Foolishness,"

Hua Rong shook her head, sighed, and stopped talking.

After a few meters of further walking, the structure of the mound changes, and the mound was still dirty, but here it is mostly a stone pile.

Captain Jin couldn't hold back any longer: "Poor like this and still sticking to this village, although he has integrity, he is ignorant and pathetic. โ€

There is a tombstone in front, I used to see that it was from the Ming Dynasty,

Hua Rong hurriedly rushed over, he probed twice with a detector and didn't hear a few squeaks: "Grandma's, there are no burial goods in the graves with tombstones, so aren't these tombstones even more shabby?" โ€

Lin Xiyin looked at the tombstone and said that this person has been dead for 580 years, and it has been 500 years since the fall of Houliang.

Suddenly, Lin Xiyin's expression was solemn, she jumped onto the tombstone, and saw her listening to something with her ears sideways...

"Jingle bell, ding bell..."

It's the sound of the death knell!

"It's not right, it's not from the ground!" Lin Xiyin exclaimed.

Suddenly, her face turned bright: "This dead fat man will be a monster!" โ€

We were amazed that a drone flew over us with a jingling sound, and I was laughing at this kid for playing, but I saw that the drone was flying straight towards me with a death knell!

"Dead fat!" I hurriedly stepped back, "Oops, I'm grass!" โ€

Who would have thought that there was a well behind me that was covered with shrubs and weeds, and I tripped over the edge of the well when I retreated, and I was about to plant it.

The moment I fell, I hurriedly pulled everything I could grasp, but the bushes and vines obviously couldn't support my body, and I fell upside down!

At this moment, the smell of broken bones came from my ankle, and I didn't have to think about it to know that it was Captain Kim who caught me.

I got up to look for the drone after being dragged out of the wellhead and found that it had already flown away.

Everyone scolded the fat man!

"It's so dangerous, inadvertent danger can kill people, this dead fat man almost killed me! Uncle Jin, what Xi Yin said is right, you are our Dinghai Divine Needle! โ€

Captain Jin touched the back of his head and smiled: "I'm close, hehe." โ€

The diameter of the well was about one meter, and it was dark and bottomless, and Captain Jin threw a cold firework into it, and only after about six or seven seconds did he see the cold firework fall to the ground.

He said: "I'm afraid it's about 50 meters, and it's not easy to dig such a deep well in this mountainous area." โ€

Hua Rong took out an object the size of a matchbox, and when he looked inside, the red rays went straight to the bottom of the wellโ€”55 meters.

"This thing is better, more accurate than my old fritter."

I picked up a rock and threw it in, and after a few seconds there was a "pop" sound on the ground, and it turned out that the well was dry. Our three strong flashlights irradiated it, but we only saw the moss on the wall of the well but could not reach the bottom of the well, Captain Jin guessed that the space at the bottom of the well should be very large.

Hua Rong asked me if I wanted to put the video equipment to see the situation at the bottom of the well, I shook my head and said: "The grave is dry well, the humidity is strong, there should be nothing worth studying in it, let's quickly cross the grave area." โ€

If you fall into this well more than 50 meters deep, it will definitely be over, and I thank Captain Jin again,

He waved his hand and said that he had to beat him up when he saw the fat man who was mischievous!

The few of us didn't stay any longer, and quickly moved towards the target.

Hua Rong also turned off the magnetic detector and carried it directly on his shoulder.

There is soil in this piece of the grave, but you can clearly see the stone particles washed out by the rain, which shows that the history of these graves is old enough, and the endless grave piles and the appearance of barren grass make people feel sad.

Suddenly, several of us stood on the spot!

The wind is blowing, but it is still about ten minutes away from the mass grave!

Hua Rong scolded: "Damn, this wind doesn't play cards according to the rules, how can you say it!" โ€

I immediately took out my phone and saw that there was still a grid of signal, so it was no problem to type.

"Fatty, the wind is blowing, have you already entered the grave area?"

"yes, I just came in."

"The wind is blowing, you get out of here!"

"Lao Yuan, don't be nervous, this wind is different, you see the sky is cloudy, this is the wind that is going to rain!"

"Of course I know it's cloudy, but this wind has to be guarded against, you should quickly exit first!"

As I spoke, I wondered how to dodge the unpredictable lightning strikes, and the only way to do that was to dig a hole in the ground as soon as possible or simply hide in a tomb...

I was in a hurry, but the fat man said unhurriedly: "Now the mobile phone weather forecast software is accurate, and it can be detailed within an hour!" I just looked, and it's raining heavily in these towns, and it's not the lightning strike! โ€

"Your grandma's, you put a few balloons as you go, come over after you finish it!"

Once we were bitten by a snake for ten years and were afraid of the well rope, we were scared by lightning and nervous.

As soon as we hung up the phone, it rained, and the ground was much stronger, so we hurried to the boulder pile.

The huge thunder and lightning pierced the sky but let us rest assured a lot, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, this wind and thunder hit for a while, but the rain did not fall heavily.

After a bit of running, we came to the boulder pile.

As far as the eye can see, the boulder at the bottom seems to have fallen directly from the mountain and smashed here, and most of the huge boulders are buried in the soil.

I looked at the mountain behind me, maybe it had been too long, I couldn't see which part of the mountain fell from, I couldn't help but admire the technology of the ancients, so many mountains and rocks can fall here, this technology is really superb.

Lin Xiyin found that the drone was parked on a big rock more than two people high, she frowned, she knew the fat man, the fat man must have something strange when he parked the drone at a high place, she hurriedly climbed up.

There are a few lines of words engraved on the stone surface, although the surface is mottled with vicissitudes, but the font is deeply engraved and can still be recognized.

Lin Xiyin hurriedly called me up.

"Loyalty, filial piety, diligence, bravery, and martial arts take the lead, and good fortune and good fortune accompany the world."

This is the genealogical order of the Tang family in Mushan Village, but I found that some of the inscriptions have been destroyed, and there is a solution from the destroyed stone face.

Lin Xiyin carefully stroked the fonts that had been chiseled and destroyed, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't seem to have guessed.

She suddenly thought of something, took out her phone and took a picture.

As soon as the shooting was over, huge lightning pierced the sky, and heavy rain poured down.

"The drone can't get caught in the rain, let's go down first."

Captain Jin and Hua Rong had already erected a canopy, and Hua Rong was digging into the bottom of the two boulders to cut a one-man-wide hole.

Captain Jin said: "There is still an hour before the lightning strike, we must first build a lightning shelter, this place is full of boulders, and it is impossible to dig a cave that can accommodate four or five people." โ€

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky seemed to be completely black, and another huge lightning bolt pierced the sky, and the rain was even heavier.

The heavy rain obstructed the vision, and the grave pile was not clear at the moment, where did the dead fat man go?

Hua Rong took out his mobile phone but didn't dare to call the fat man, in this extreme weather, he was worried that the fat man would be struck by lightning.

"I'm going to pick him up, those balloons are all blown off if you don't catch them!"

Lin Xiyin said: "You stay here and dig a few more sheltering caves, and I'll pick up the fat man." โ€

She hung an explosion-proof lamp on a boulder and plunged into the rain.

She was so good at light body that she disappeared in a few jumps.

The fat man was dragging dozens of cartoon balloons and moving with difficulty, at this moment the traces of the route were washed away by the rain, he got lost as he walked, he wanted to stand on the grave to identify the target, but suddenly collapsed into the grave.

He had already broken through several graves, so he followed the north hand of his watch and went forward. Although he deliberately walked to the edge of the grave, he still trampled on the mound without knowing it.

"Grandma's, this rain doesn't fall early or late, but it only rains when Lao Tzu is behind His Palace, and this grave pile is not stepped on, Alas Nima, another one!"

The fat man simply tied those cartoon balloons to the waistband of his trousers, and he crawled out of the grave and saw by the light of the thunder and lightning that the bones in the coffin he had just stepped on were actually sitting!

The fat man hurriedly crawled forward with his hands and feet.

Since he didn't have a flashlight and didn't dare to use the flashlight function of his mobile phone, although the compass of the watch could tell the direction, this large pile of graves trapped him like a puzzle.

When he was at a loss, he saw the light of a lamp faintly in the distance,

"Grandma's, fortunately the lights are on, otherwise Lao Tzu would have to go around in circles here."

He hurriedly reoriented himself and walked in the direction of the light.

Lin Xiyin's body is light, soaring and leaping, although the mound is sluggish, it does not collapse. She ran for a while with a flashlight and saw a dark figure in front of her, she hurriedly turned off the flashlight to hold her breath, she moved sideways, took out a dart, and gently swept over.

When she got closer, she saw that it was actually a stone tablet with a corner missing, Lin Xiyin turned on the flashlight again and was about to pass by, when suddenly she saw a word, and hurriedly stopped and took a photo regardless of the thunder and lightning weather before sweeping towards the place where she came from.

The fat man saw a light flickering in the distance and knew that someone was coming to pick him up, so he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Click!" A loud bang frightened the fat man and shrunk his neck! He was in a hurry, and shouted at the lamp shadow.

When Lin Xiyin heard the fat man's voice, she immediately rushed to the fat man, and she couldn't help laughing when her flashlight hit the fat man.

I saw that the fat man was covered with rotting coffin debris and wet mud, and what was even more incredible was that he had dozens of cartoon balloons hanging on his back, like a peacock, but his body was more like an ostrich.

"Grandma, it's coming, I'm almost going around here!"

"Aren't you known to be bold, and that's scared?"

The fat man's stomach stiffened, and the balloons in his back shook,

"I'm not afraid, I just feel lonely, this deep foot and shallow foot, the person who didn't speak was too aggrieved."

"Then give you a flashlight, I won't accompany you with my aunt, not far from there is the stone lazi tomb, and you won't be afraid of falling into it when you go there."

"You hurry back and lift the balloon into the air with a fishing line, and set up a position first, otherwise it will be troublesome later."

After Lin Xiyin took it, she hurried back to the boulder pile with the balloon.

The fat man had a flashlight, and his heart was a lot more stable, he sang while walking, and after walking for a while, he saw that there were mostly low stones in front of him, and he cheered, and hurriedly ran to the place where the lamp was on.

The fat man finally joined us, and I warned that the time for the lightning strike was coming soon, and the people hurried to find a place in the cracks of the boulder pile.

"It's too small for me to get into!"

The boulders were very tightly arranged, and although we had cut out a few places, the space was very small, and the fat man's body obviously couldn't get in.

He glanced at a hollow hole, and patted the stone wall again: "Look, look at the fat man to blow up a small house for you!" โ€

Hua Rong wiped the rain from his face and said to the fat man: "Be careful not to blow up, this place is full of hard stones, and it is too difficult to find a place to stay!" I don't know if these balloons can attract lightning strikes, but if they don't work, we still have to hide, and I guess you'll have to drill into the grave! โ€

The fat man said disappreciatively: "The fat man will let you see what directional blasting is, and then let you see the more advanced air wave pushing stones!" โ€

He left Hua Rong for us to pull over and dodge, only to see that after the two of them muttered, Hua Rong barely got into the dog hole with explosives.

The fat man shouted at Hua Rong in the gap and said, "Forty grams of explosives are placed at the bottom, and the angle is sixty." Then put thirty grams on the upper part, at an angle of 45, and remember to make sure to put a stone behind the explosives. โ€

After Hua Rong came out, the fat man asked us to cover our ears.

Hearing only a "boom", we hurried over, and the originally small dog hole was blown open quite a lot, and the stone seemed to be pushed, flashing out of the space for four or five people.

The fat man shouted proudly: "Are you tired of cutting stone cracks?" In my brother's eyes, explosives are omnipotent! โ€

After he smashed some more abrupt stone walls, a cavern large enough to hold five or six people appeared before our eyes.

We praised the fat man, and he looked much better with a triumphant face.

The rain outside still has no intention of stopping, but the thunder is fading away, and I think it will stop soon.

Although there is a lot of water seeping in this bombed cave, it is 10,000 times better than the dog hole we picked. We hid here, talking and laughing.

Captain Jin glanced at his watch and said:

"It's lightning strike time soon, but it's already windy and rainy, how can we tell the difference between wind and thunder?"

The fat man interjected: "Do you think this thunder and lightning will bend, and we will hide in the hole, will we also be hacked?" โ€

Hua Rong choked him: "Did you gnaw on the coffin just now and have a bad mouth, if the thunder and lightning can turn around, what are the villagers doing with the mine-hiding houses in the terraces?" โ€

The fat man raised his eyes: "Why are you talking, you should call me uncle about the old gentleman, you should call me uncle on Su Rou's generation, you are a junior, do you understand, you have to be polite to my old man in the future!" I'm not hitting you, among the five of us, you are the youngest, and Lao Jinzi and Chen Yuan are also your uncles! โ€

Hua Rong was helpless by the fat man, he knew that he couldn't talk about the fat man, so he simply shut up.

The rain outside was a little lighter, but the sky was still not clear, and the fat man stretched his head out of the hole: "Where did I put my drone?" โ€

"I put away the drone, and you didn't find the inscription on the stone?"

"No, I think the stone surface is flat, and I'm afraid it's going to fall to the ground."

After he finished speaking, he was about to climb out to read the words on the stone face, but he was clamped by Captain Jin's neck,

"Don't run around, boy, we don't want to eat roast suckling pig! You can't solve it even if you read it. โ€

Lin Xiyin passed the photo of his mobile phone to the fat man, he looked at it for a while and said, "Isn't this the genealogy of Mushan Village, what's so strange?" The following piece is destroyed, is there something deliberately hidden? โ€

Lin Xiyin said: "Chen Yuan, when I went to pick up the fat man, I found a stone tablet, which may inspire you. โ€

She uploaded the picture to the group, and I hurriedly opened it.

"The tomb of the disarming army was erected in the tenth year of Zhenming."

"The tenth year of Zhenming is the name of the last king of Houliang, he reigned for a total of 11 years, and I think that this disarming army should be the leader of the construction of the tomb of King Zhuwen, that is, the ancestor of this Mushan Village, and the disarming army is probably the meaning of disarming and returning to the field."

Lin Xiyin deserves to be called an encyclopedia, and she explained it to us.

I said, "There is also a vague interpretation on the stone face, and it seems that the word was engraved by him, but I can't guess what the word below is." โ€

"Look at the next picture," Lin reminded me.

"Heaven strikes the earth and weeps ghosts, and my generation obeys the order and is soup."

The fat man and Hua Ronggu exclaimed: "Ghost Tomb! โ€

My heart also trembled, this amazing thunder and lightning and strange huge mounds of graves and strange death knells I have never seen or heard of, before I even stepped into the tomb has been murderous, if even his builder called it a ghost tomb, then how terrifying this Zhuwen tomb should be!

Lin Xiyin said: "I think the words on the stone face have a lot to do with the owner of this tombstone, and I suspect that the smashed words on the stone face should convey something to future generations, and he thought it was inappropriate to destroy it." โ€

I agreed with her analysis, if the inscription on the stone surface was not made by the disarmament army, then the words on his tombstone and even the tombstone must have been destroyed, because his tombstone conveyed a major message, and the words of the heavenly strike and the ghost Ling Huan alone have revealed too much, and the heavenly strike is the meaning of lightning strike, so what is the strange cry of the ground? Why is this mausoleum called the Ghost Tomb? If Zhu Wen's subordinates all called it a ghost tomb, it is likely that they also encountered extremely strange things when they built it!

I raised these questions, and everyone looked at each other, without explanation.

At this moment, there was a continuous "bang" outside, and I hurriedly looked over, but was pulled back by the fat man, and his fat body was blocked at the entrance of the cave and I couldn't see anything.

"Grandma's, it's like setting off firecrackers, the balloons are all blown up, and they seem to be on fire."

Hua Rong and I worked together to pull the fat man back, and the two of us were no more bloated than the fat man, but fortunately, I saw the explosion of one of the balloons, and the bursting balloons were as bright as fireworks.

I saw that there were still a few balloons fluttering in the wind outside, and I decided that it was safe, and hurriedly came out of the cracks in the rocks.

"These balloons are mostly filled with hydrogen and ammonia, so they can fly, but I don't understand why so many balloons have popped?"

Lin Xiyin stood beside me and stretched her limbs and said, "These explosions should be caused by the pressure generated before the lightning strike, do you remember, the leaves of the old locust tree seemed to be suddenly lifted and contracted during the lightning strike in the morning. โ€

The air after the rain was exceptionally fresh and comfortable, and I put her hair behind my ears, this comforting girl really shouldn't be in this wild grave.

"Hee-in, this time it could be dangerous,"

"As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything."

I was just about to hug her, but the fat man came over: "It's just such a girl, who is greedy!" What do we do next? โ€

"You call the fellow and buy some balloons, and then use a drone to get them in, and a few of us go to see the tomb of General Xie, I think there will be clues to this royal tomb in the tomb of the Liberation Army."

"Drone pulling balloons? I'm afraid not, it's all flying things, if they are entangled, they have to crash! โ€

"Pig brain, don't you just add weights to the balloon or wrap it up!"

Hua Rong knocked the fat man on the head with a sapper shovel and ran away quickly.

"You're only a pig's brain, look at how fast you run or how fast I hit with a slingshot, the fat man explodes your dog's head!"

After the fat man hit a stone, he was beaten down by Hua Rong's sapper shovel: "Hurry up and get down to business, the thunder and lightning will come again in two and a half hours!" โ€
