Chapter 305: Mind Reading Xiucai
It was cumbersome to explore the strata laterally, and it took time to extract the data, but this time the results were satisfactory, and it was basically possible to conclude that there were indeed tombs underneath, but to enter, it was necessary to excavate, but excavation was not possible.
Why not? Because they lied about coming here for a road trip, but no one would stay here for so long, let alone dig something here with a sudden start of ground.
Xie dreamed that with the technology at that time, a hole had to be dug out underneath first, and then reinforced, although the book remembers vaguely, but it is speculated that it should be the same, and none of the disciples who excavated this tomb were alive, except for Song Zigu's apprentice, the rest were all poisoned in the tomb for Song Zigu's burial.
The tomb is also very simple, there are only two caves, one in front and one behind, the corpses of those poisoned believers are placed outside the front cave, and the coffin of Song Zigu is placed in the latter tomb.
Without waiting for the opportunity, Xie Meng had to lead Benny and the others to evacuate, so as not to be suspected by the villagers.
Soon after, Xie Meng received the news that a highway was going to be built in the area, and the route happened to pass through Tianchi Village, and she immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity.
So, Xie Mengfang found the highway surveyor, and asked this person to lead them to the blatant survey in Tianchi Village, and finally found the right location, and at the same time spent money to buy a few tile houses to cover up, ostensibly a chicken farm, but in fact digging tunnels in it.
The excavated soil was also transported by car every morning, and some chickens were loaded on the surface of the soil, and after half a month of manual excavation, the first cave was finally dug in.
After entering the outer tomb, Xie Meng could be said to be very disappointed, because it was not a good tomb at all, it could only be said to be a cave with simple decoration, and there were indeed many bones in the cave.
Hearing this, Wei Chi interrupted Xie Meng: "Wait, how did the alien beast appear?" Did the alien beast come into being, or did it exist there? ”
Xie Meng said: "How the beast was born, how it exists in this world, there is no answer so far, as far as the water rat is concerned, it is recorded in the book that Song Zigu's apprentice did not completely seal the cave at that time, because he was very curious about whether the master Song Zigu really became an immortal, so after seven hundred and forty-nine days, he went in again to see what it was, who knew that he found the water rat in it, but at that time he didn't know what it was, thought it was a monster, and ran away, the water rat existed in the tomb of the cult leader, That is, it came out of his mouth. ”
Wei Chiran shook his head and said, "I don't think it's reasonable, there is no logic at all." ”
Xie Meng smiled: "This kind of thing, do you use logic to judge?" Listen to me. ”
After Xie Meng and the others entered the outer layer of the tomb, they did not find any traces of water rats, and the three helpers invited to see the corpses everywhere, and after searching for a while, they only found two pieces of jade pendant and some broken silver carried by the bones, although these things are also valuable, but for the three professional tomb robbers, what they want more is the things in the inner tomb.
After all, Xie Meng and Benny have an agreement with them, Xie Meng and Benny only need alien beasts and water rats, and everything else belongs to the three tomb robbers.
The inner tomb is also extremely simple to enter, there is only one stone door, and this stone door is virtually nonexistent, it can be seen that it was completely perfunctory when it was built.
In the inner tomb, Xie Meng and others found that there were no coffins here, all of them were living utensils, and the strangest thing was that no bones were found in the cave at all.
Wei Chiran asked, "You mean, Song Zigu's body is not inside?" ”
Xie Meng said: "That's right, it's not inside, there are no bones in it, but the three tomb robbers who walked with us are quite happy, because there are still some well-preserved porcelain inside, after all, it is a Ming Dynasty thing, and it can be sold for a high price on the black market." ”
However, Xie Meng and Benny found a strange thing in the tomb, that is, there was a crack in the cave wall near the southwest corner.
The crack is about 13 centimeters wide and about 5 meters long, about the same length as the inner burial chamber.
There is only a 13-centimeter-wide gap, and Song Zigu won't fall into it, right? Besides, how this gap was formed, I am not sure, maybe it was caused by the earthquake that year?
But it's also strange that the devastating earthquake that year didn't collapse here, which is really weird.
The three tomb robbers accepted it when they saw it, and after calculating the costs and benefits, they said hello to Xie Meng, turned around and ran out of the tomb, fleeing overnight, they knew too well what would happen if they were caught and caught, after all, one of them had already entered once.
Benny continued to investigate the tomb and found that this should not be called a tomb, but a basement, a Tibetan place, judging from the situation found at the scene, Song Zigu should not have died here, but left, as for how he left, it is unknown.
However, Xie Meng found the words engraved by Song Zigu on the cave wall, and Song Zigu's despair could be felt between the lines, and his despair came from his talent - mind reading.
Song Zigu really knew how to read minds, which made Xie Mengdu feel a little surprised.
Hou Wan took the opportunity to ask: "Your talent didn't awaken at that time?" ”
Xie Meng shook his head slightly.
For many people, mind reading may be a coveted ability to easily read other people's thoughts and avoid falling into the trap and being harmed.
For a sober person, if he has this ability, he must be able to control this ability, that is, he can read when he wants to, and he can read when he doesn't want to, and he can be like a normal person when he doesn't want to.
But Song Zigu's talent for mind-reading is uncontrollable, as long as someone approaches him, within a certain range, he will automatically read the other party's thoughts and peek into the other party's memories.
Think about it, even if a person gains the ability to turn stones into gold, everything that his fingers touch will turn into gold, how terrible is that?
You want to hug your loved one, the loved one will turn into gold, you want to eat, but you can't hold chopsticks yourself, even if you can hire someone to feed you and do everything for you, but in that case, what's the difference with a waste person who has no hands?
Who wants to give up their hands in order to have money?
Perhaps, but he will definitely spend it in remorse, just like Song Zigu, the reason why he wants to hide in this tomb is to avoid all people, he doesn't want to peek into other people's minds anymore and accept the thoughts in other people's heads, so he will create a so-called Burial Heart Sect.
From the surprise of the awakening of the talent at the beginning, to the end of being trapped by the talent, Song Zigu has become a human being, a ghost or a ghost, and he even lost his own ideas, but even so, he still wants to live.
Therefore, after he found out that he had found the hunt, he immediately activated the tomb that had not yet been completed and hid in it himself.
From this, it can be inferred that Song Zigu didn't really want to commit suicide, but just wanted to hide here and find a way to eliminate his talent. The most important thing is that Song Zigu's talent awakening originated from Tianchi.
When Xie Meng's story came to this, Wei Chiran and Hou Wan were deeply interested.
Xie Meng temporarily interrupted and said, "Let's go into the cave and talk, I always feel that it is not safe outside." ”
"Boss, we don't think it's safe in the cave. ”
Xie Meng looked around, walked along the entrances of caves 1 to 5, and then said: "Then we will camp at the entrance of the cave, in short, we can't leave without finding out what is going on here, but before that, we have to be honest, right?" ”
Xie Meng's proposal was strange, but it was also well-intentioned.
What Wei Chiran and Hou Wan were thinking about at the moment was, what was Xie Meng's talent? Was it because she had some kind of talent for spotting danger around her?
At the same time as Xingshu, Sima Qing and Yun Jian were camping, Xie Meng took out the stove and began to make coffee, while continuing the previous narration: "Song Zigu's talent was awakened when he was 15 years old, that summer was extremely hot, Song Zigu took a bath in the Tianchi to enjoy the coolness, but saw a white light in the center of the Tianchi, out of curiosity, he swam directly over, but he was dragged directly into the water by a force, and when Song Zigu woke up, he found that he had been rescued ashore, according to the person who rescued him, he was struggling and shouting in the water at that time, The passers-by heard that they went into the water to rescue him, but Song Zigu didn't remember anything. ”
At that moment, Song Zigu heard the noisy voices of the people around him, and he found that most of the people around him did not speak, but he could still hear their voices clearly in his ears.
Song Zigu was frightened, got up and frowned at the people around him, and suddenly asked a person who was calling him a fool, "Why are you scolding me!?" ”
The man was taken aback and looked at Song Zigu blankly, because he had indeed scolded Song Zigu in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Song Zigu heard countless doubts around him, some people thought that Song Zigu was sick, and some thought that this Xiucai had always been a little abnormal.
Song Zigu pulled his legs and ran home, and when he came home, he found that his old father was studying in the courtyard, and he just glanced at him, but it was this glance that made Song Zigu hear his father say again: "The mud can't support the wall." ”
Song Zigu obviously looked at his father's mouth and didn't move, because it was his father, so he dared to ask: "Dad, do you think my mud can't support the wall?" ”
Song Zigu's father was also surprised, and even thought in his heart: Could it be that what I was thinking just now was unconsciously said? Haven't found out yet?
It was Song Zigu's father's idea, and after being read by Song Zigu, he realized that he didn't hear the other party talking, but read other people's thoughts.
At that moment, Song Zigu changed from the original surprise to surprise, he had this talent, in his heart, it was equivalent to obtaining immortal arts.
Soon, Song Zigu began to hide his ability, and used his ability to benefit himself, and even helped the county official to solve the case, and his fame was a hundred miles away for a while, but even so, he never got a better reputation.
After all, this kind of talent can only read minds, not acquire knowledge, and there is no way for him to write better essays, even if he reads the essays written by others in the exam room, it will be considered cheating.
At the same time, Song Zigu also discovered the evil desires hidden in everyone's heart during this period.
