Volume II: Tomb of the Immortals

South-Eastern Province in 1970

The dark clouds overhead, kept rolling, the dark red loomed in the black clouds, and the gloomy sky seemed to be burning. The air in the mountains was humid and hot, the wind was howling, and the heavens and the earth were full of sorrow, like a precursor to the collapse of the heavens and the earth, and a heavy rainstorm was coming.

Looking at such a strange celestial phenomenon, anyone will feel that something is going to happen.

A skinny middle-aged man climbed up the hillside, looked at this earth-shattering scene, and asked nervously, "Old ...... Boss, it's this dead ghost weather, nothing will happen, right? ”

There were eleven people standing beside the man, and the first burly man stood still, and said viciously: "I'm afraid of an old mother, what is this!?" ”

This group of people were all dressed as poor villagers, dressed in rags, tall, short, fat and thin, young and old, but they all carried earthen guns and other tools in their hands.

The man who asked the question was called Luo Qi, and he was as timid as a mouse, but these people never mentioned his real name, only called him "Li Qi".

A tall and thin man was impatient, and jumped and scolded: "Li Qi, take your mother!" You're scared of death all day long, when did something happen to us?! Always say those frustrating words! ”

Li Qi said stupidly: "Wang Wu, I don't feel good this time, when have I seen God like this, I'm afraid something will happen." ”

One of the old men rolled his eyes, his eyes were cunning, and he said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" We're almost there! This old man's name is "Second Brother", sinister and cunning, resourceful and spicy, and he is the smartest of this group.

The group climbed a hill with dense vegetation and walked into the woods with bated breath, silent. At this time, the sky is darker, the wind is blowing more and more fiercely, the trees are constantly swaying, and the blades of grass are flying all over the sky, so that people can't open their eyes, and can only hear the "whirring" wind. Li Qi walked and whispered, "Boss, this time we really want to rob the government's things, can we do it?!" This is a capital offense! With our group, can we get them? ”

The burly man stared at his eyes, his face was full of meat, and said, "Which deal are we doing that is not a capital crime?" We followed them for two days, and we saw their strength, knew what they were going to do, and we would definitely be able to make a big deal this time! ”

This pedestrian walked the mountain road very quickly, agile, quickly climbed the mountain, hid behind the mountain, and looked ahead: the sky was cloudy, the mountains were continuous, the sky and the earth were dark, the wind roared, suddenly a bright lightning pierced the rolling clouds, the heaven and the earth instantly lit up, a thunderous roar, the mountain seemed to tremble, the thunder of the "boom" kept ringing, and the air split several sharp lightning in a row, the light was dazzling, the thunder was deafening, this spectacle was not only the heart of the old seven frightened, The faces of the people next to him also became ugly.

In front of us are a series of mountains, tall and steep, with overlapping peaks, very majestic and treacherous. Although the terrain here is ordinary, it gives people an unusual feeling. Li Qi poked out his thin head, looked from a distance, and saw more than a dozen people standing in the mountain col.

The dozen or so people were plainly dressed, polite, like experts, pointing and talking about something. Li Qi took a closer look at the col, where a black hole had been dug out of the central dirt slope.

Li Qi and his group hid in the woods, quietly descended the mountain, and sneaked close to those people. There were two women, two older men, four middle-aged men and three young men, all of whom seemed to be intellectuals. A few improvised tents were set up next to the dirt slope, and some tools such as shovels and shovels were arranged.

The group of people was very excited, and their attention was all focused on the black hole, and a middle-aged man shouted, "This must be a big discovery!" The young man next to him said, "This is the first time I've seen this!" It's weird! ”

The oldest of them, with white hair, some shabby thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a stubborn expression, looked like the leader of this group. The old man said: "Xiao Li, this time you used this extremely strange method, according to the abnormal changes in the climate here in the past few days, you actually found here, although the method is not scientific, there are still some gains. ”

The man known as "Xiao Li" was a middle-aged man, named Li Wanfa, who was in his forties, and he was righteous and awe-inspiring, dark and stocky, he smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, I haven't used this method for a long time, which shows that this place is extraordinary, only a place with a very special feng shui and earth qi can cause climate change in the surrounding area, and I can also use local methods to find here." ”

The old man frowned, and said unhappily: "Although this place is not easy to find, and you have found it in strange ways, you cannot believe in those superstitions such as feng shui, the great chairman taught us that 'we believe in nothing but science, that is, Don't be superstitious', Xiao Li, although you joined our work halfway and were very capable, and your methods occasionally worked, you must not lose your way, lose your faith, and promote feudal superstitious thoughts, remember, we are scientific workers, and science is the only truth. ”

Li Wanfa smiled innocently, nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

A fair-skinned, tall and thin young man next to him looked very much in love with Li Tusheng, and said angrily: "Teacher Wu, this time we are conducting field archaeology, the purpose is not here, but Brother Li can find this place all the way according to the sudden abnormal weather changes and other signs, which shows that Brother Li's method works, otherwise, this ancient site is hidden in such isolated barren mountains and mountains, and I don't know when it will be discovered." ”

Li Wanfa immediately shook his head and said: "Xiao Zhang, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Wu is full of knowledge and worthy of our admiration. After working with Mr. Wu for so many years, I have learned a lot from him, and Mr. Wu's spirit is even more respectful. Xiaozhang, you are still young, you should learn more valuable experience from Mr. Wu and make more contributions to the country. ”

The old man had a straight face and criticized the young man: "You have just joined the work, you must have a correct attitude, firmly believe in science, don't be discouraged, don't be afraid of hardships, and strive for the construction of the country!" Let our cause catch up with and surpass American imperialism! Xiaozhang, you must not believe in superstitions, go back and write a check! Must be profound! ”

The young man was educated, bowed his head and did not speak. Li Wanfa patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll do my job well in the future." Let's take a look at this first. He turned his head to stare at the hole in the ground, his eyes sharpened and his expression solemnized, and he said, "I think this place is extraordinary." ”

Li Qi's group hid behind a tree and listened to these intellectuals discuss what ancient ruins were hidden under the cave, which was by no means an ordinary building. A black, thin, withered villager whispered, "Boss, this is it." Another Humpty Dumpty villager said: "We followed them for two days, and along the way they dug a lot of places, found nothing, and finally found this place." The group of villagers were surprised and wondered, thinking: What is hidden underground in this uninhabited barren mountain?

They were all thinking, what treasure is hidden here?

Humpty Dumpty then said, "Boss, I have found out that they only have three guns in total, and they don't stick their hands at all. ”

The burly man looked fierce, and said viciously: "Okay, brothers, get ready, guys, go!" I'll take his mother! Today's business is definitely not ordinary, we are going to make a fortune! He gestured, and the group of villagers put on black cloth hoods, divided into three groups, and quietly surrounded them.

In the mountain col, a red-faced middle-aged scholar looked at the hole and said to the old man: "Team Wu, let's go down and have a look now, I think we can start digging now, this must be a major discovery in the archaeological community of the New Heavenly Empire!" ”

Li Wanfa shook his head and said: "Master Xiao, I think the atmosphere of this place is very special, and the things buried underneath are by no means ordinary, this time we should not act rashly, it is better to report back to the provincial bureau first, make preparations, and wait for the brigade to come here, and then go in." ”

The red-faced man obviously looked down on Li Wanfa, snorted, and said, "Li Gong, what do you mean?" Yes, here is what you found, but you want us to listen to your mouth full of ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods? We are scientists, what 'feng shui' and 'earth's qi', don't talk nonsense, is there still a ghost in this?! ”

Li Wanfa said: "No, no, Master Xiao, I mean it may be dangerous down there, we should be prepared to go down again." ”

A fat man next to him sneered and said: "Master Li, this is where you found it, are you afraid that everyone will dig up the ruins, so they will rob you of your credit, so you will find an excuse to stabilize everyone, so that you can go back and report to your superiors first!" Isn't it! The fat man said to the old man again: "Captain Wu, it took us a week to find here, if we send someone back to report the news, it will take a week anyway, if according to what Master Li said, plus the time to prepare, then I don't know how long it will take, and we will definitely miss the best time to excavate the ruins, which is a big taboo in our work!" Team Wu, we have enough manpower and tools, so why wait. ”

The old man lifted his glasses, looked at Li Wanfa, and then looked at the red-faced man and the fat man, seemed hesitant, thought for a while, and said to the fat man: "Well, Xiao Dong, then...... So what do you say to do? ”

The fat man said: "Team Wu, I think we can completely send a few people back to report while excavating the scene, without delay." ”

The red-faced man said: "Yes, we have already dug the entrance, everything is going well, it is better to keep doing it, since Li Gong wants to go back and report first, then let Xiao Xu and Xiao Guo go back with him." Team Wu, you see that this place is surrounded by steep mountains on all sides, and it is going to rain heavily, if we delay again and again, miss the opportunity, and cause the surrounding mountains to experience too much wind and rain, there will be mudslides or landslides, and this place will be buried. ”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "However, Xiao Li said that the building below here may be very dangerous. ”

The red-faced man said, "Team Wu, we've been working together for decades, what haven't we seen?" How many tombs have we excavated, and we have rarely encountered traps? We've never had anything happen to us, and all those alarmist things are just superstitious legends. He glanced at Li Wanfa and said coldly: "You also know that Li Gong often says that there is danger here, there is danger there, and sometimes he even talks about fairies and ghosts, which is alarmist, but when have we encountered it?" ”

The old man looked at the rest of the people, all of them had eager expressions on their faces, it seemed that they all wanted to discover the ancient ruins here immediately, and they didn't want to wait.

A young man said loudly: "Captain Wu, what my master said is right, we should start excavating now, we are all scientific workers, arm our minds with knowledge, what is there in this place that cannot be moved?" Even if we go to the moon for nine days and catch turtles in the five seas, we will not be afraid. ”

After hearing the young man's words, the red-faced man first smiled proudly, then pretended to be stern, and said, "Xiao Zhou, Master Dong and I are talking to Captain Wu, don't intervene with you junior apprentices!" You want to listen to Team Wu's teachings, you know?"

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, master!" He said very seriously: "Anyway, we firmly believe in science and work on the basis of science, and we will not believe in those absurd superstitious ideas." ”

The old man still seemed to be very hesitant, and those intellectuals wanted to go into the hole to see what was going on inside, when suddenly, a gunshot rang out behind him.
