Chapter 126: The Past
When Nanyang and others heard this, they finally understood the ins and outs of the incident, in order to save the lives of Master Zhou and others, Li Wanfa brought the territorial bandits into here alone, quite a lonely hero. Originally, everyone thought that the dead bodies found earlier were dressed not like the staff of the cultural department, but like villagers, and it turned out that they were all bandits. Everyone thought that fortunately, those bandits died in the ancient tomb in the end and did not escape, otherwise the information about this ancient site would have been leaked long ago.
Qiu Tian thought for a moment and said, "Master Li, when you come down, are you not ready to go out again?" And won't let those bandits out? ”
Li Wanfa nodded silently. Everyone was secretly frightened, you can imagine how complicated and difficult the environment was at that time, Li Wanfa's colleagues were ruthlessly killed, and he had to prevent the bandits from plundering the precious cultural relics in the ancient tomb, so he was already ready to die with the bandits.
The room was unusually silent, and everyone looked at Master Zhou, with the same question in their hearts: since Master Zhou had already left here with the two girls at that time, why didn't he come back with the support troops? How can you wait until more than 40 years later to find it again?
Li Wanfa suddenly said: "Xiao Zhou, you encountered an earthquake on the way to escape. ”
Zhou De was a little surprised, nodded, and said with a painful expression: "Yes." I left the col with Xiao Xu and Xiao Guo, and we hurried overnight, and before we had gone far, it rained heavily. We were afraid of being pursued by bandits, so we ran as hard as we could, but Xiao Xu and Xiao Guo were both girls, and they were very slow, and we had a hard time escaping in the rainy night. ”
"That night we stopped and walked, almost all night, until the next morning, the rain did not stop, the weather was even more abnormal, many landslides were landslided. The storm had not stopped, the sky seemed to be falling, the sky was covered by black clouds, the sun could not be seen, the sky was dark, and the three of us could not find the way we came, even though there was a brief map you gave me, we could not find the way. I was afraid that the bandits would chase us, so I ran out with them by feeling, and the next night there was another earthquake. Zhou De's eyes were gloomy, and he recalled that tragic experience: "I will always remember that the earthquake was so violent, the sky cracked, the earth was turned upside down, many mountains collapsed, and we were almost crushed to death by the falling rocks. Xiao Guo was injured, and I carried her on my back and pulled Xiao Xu on the side, as if I was escaping the end of the world. ”
"After the earthquake and several days of heavy rain, I noticed that the surrounding area had completely changed, and the three of us were completely lost in the mountains. When we went down a hillside, we encountered a landslide and a mudslide buried us, but it didn't bury us. ”
"I crawled out of the mud and rocks and rescued Xiao Xu and Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo was very seriously injured, and she was very stimulated, she had mental problems, and she became stupid and stupid. Xiao Xu was hungry and cold, overworked, and also had a high fever. We've lost a lot of our equipment, we've lost that map, and we're desperate. Fortunately, the weather finally improved, and we were hungry and thirsty, so we went to the mountains to find something to eat, and walked in the barren mountains for 5 days and 5 nights before we went out. When we saw the people outside, Xiao Guo and Xiao Xu were already dying and couldn't hold on anymore. ”
"Xiao Guo and Xiao Xu were immediately sent to the hospital for treatment, I reported the situation, and led the troops back to rescue the people who stayed in the ancient tomb that day, but when we returned to the mountainous area, the ancient tomb could not be found, the earthquake and strange weather changed many natural environments, many small hills collapsed and subsided, became short and flattened, the ground cracked in the recessed ravine, the mudslide buried the trees, and some mountain cols were raised, we looked for half a month in the deep mountains, but the area was too big, all of them were mountainous areas, and nothing was found, Master Xu, Master Dong, Master Feng and Xiao Zhang are all gone, and they can't be found. We were very anxious, suspecting that the original col had been buried by the mudslide, and we dug everywhere, but we didn't find even a clue, and we never found the ancient ruins. ”
At this time, Li Wanfa said silently: "Xiao Zhou, all this is the will of heaven, this ancient tomb has not been discovered or opened since it was built, so there has been a lot of energy gathered in the ancient tomb for thousands of years, and there is nowhere to release it." Do you remember that when the bandits went into the ancient tomb to explore the tomb, two bandits did not get the poison of the corpse, but turned into even more powerful monsters? ”
Zhou De said: "Remember, those two monsters finally became too big and blew themselves up. ”
Li Wanfa said: "Because this ancient tomb is built in a strange place of feng shui, there is a huge amount of earth energy hidden underneath, and there are many ancient treasures stored in the ancient tomb, these treasures all contain energy, and over time, these energies continue to accumulate, and they will explode because of the sudden opening of the ancient tomb." ”
"When I discovered this ancient tomb, I felt that it was extraordinary, the energy was huge, and the earth qi seemed to be very unstable and dangerous, so I kept preventing Master Xiao, Master Dong and others from entering the ancient tomb." As soon as he mentioned his past companions, Li Wanfa looked sad and said: "But after those bandits came, they had to enter here and send three people to visit the tomb, but as a result, those three people activated the mechanism of the ancient tomb, and all kinds of strange energy gathered in the ancient tomb immediately erupted from the mouth of the ancient tomb that was connected to the outside world, which was the strange light that soared to the sky." "The human body was impacted by the countless mysterious energies in the ancient tomb, and it was alienated and turned into that form. In the end, the human body could not withstand the huge energy, and it was burst. Li Wanfa said silently: "This is fate, at that time, our archaeological team should not die, if it is not for the bandits to appear, our people will come down first, they will be destroyed by the energy accumulated in the ancient tomb, and we will suffer." Unexpectedly, the three bandits accidentally became substitutes for the dead. ”
"It is inevitable that the huge mechanism designed in the tomb will suddenly operate after a thousand years of dormancy, which will inevitably cause fluctuations in energy, which will cause changes in the earth's atmosphere, leading to earthquakes and other extreme climates," Lai said. His eyes were deep, and he continued: "I felt a strong earthquake in the tomb at that time, and I thought I was going to be buried here, and I was very worried about whether you would survive this disaster and escape alive. Days of torrential rain and earthquakes have changed the environment on the ground, and it's not your fault. ”
When everyone heard this, they all understood that Master Zhou was still young, and he came here with the archaeological team, and he was not familiar with the surrounding environment, and after the accident, he escaped with two girls, and brought people back, and it took more than ten days to go back and forth, and the landform had changed when he returned here, the earthquake caused the mountain range to collapse, and the heavy rain caused mudslides, and many locations changed their original appearance, and the location of the ancient ruins could no longer be found (the mountain col and the ancient ruins may have been buried deep in the ground by the mudslide at that time).
However, although they have no clues, they can't find the ancient tomb in ten days and half a month, as long as they persevere, continue to send more people, and wait for the environment to stabilize and carry out a carpet search, they will definitely be able to find this place, how can it take forty years? Did the search for the tomb have been abandoned at that time? Give up rescuing the lost archaeological team?!
