In front of the team members, Cui Rongguang kept telling me some words about the clouds and mountains and fog covers. And then, instead of saying the purpose of inviting me, he kept asking me questions about the tomb.

"Little comrade, you are the coffin bearer in the village, so the coffins in this village are all carried by you, right?" Cui Rongguang asked me curiously.

I replied, "I basically carried most of this year's coffins, but I've only just debuted and I still lack experience." ”

"Oh, the little comrade is very modest." Cui Rongguang smiled at me and whispered a few words to the person sitting next to him.

Although their voices were so low that I couldn't tell what they were saying, I could tell that he was complimenting me on my 'modesty,' but in his heart he was probably believing what I said.

whispering, just to discuss, whether to use me or not.

I don't like to see these people because of their mysterious appearance, and in all fairness, I don't want to participate in their mysterious actions at all. If the village chief hadn't called me here, I'd have left long ago. Now that they can't trust me, and I really don't have enough experience, I took advantage of the situation and said to Cui Rongguang: "Captain Cui, I don't know who you need?" What to do? Oh, I'm not asking you for secrets. Rather, if you don't tell me anything, then I can't help you, can I? Also, I'm not modest, I've been doing this for less than a year and I have very little experience. If you have a better choice, then I'll go back first. ”

"Hey, don't go, don't go!" Cui Rongguang hurriedly got up and grabbed me, and said to me: "Little comrade, it's not that we don't trust you, but this matter really needs to be cautious......" He said this, as if he had some ruthless intentions, and said to me, "Okay, to tell you the truth, we have all looked for the villages around here, and there is indeed no suitable candidate." We have also inquired about you, and we know that although you are young, you are very capable. If you can help with this, then we're in for a treat. ”

Hearing him say this, I couldn't go hastily, so I sat down again, and then I listened to him talk about their team. That's when I realized that it was actually an archaeological team.

Cui Rongguang said to me: "Two years ago, my colleague accidentally found out from a rare ancient book that there was a large mausoleum of the Western Zhou Dynasty near your village. At that time, for this issue, we debated for half a year and looked through a lot of relevant materials before finally determining that this mausoleum is real. At that time, we organized an archaeological team to explore this mausoleum for the first time, but unfortunately, we got lost in a forest near your village, and a colleague left the team in the evening for unknown reasons, and there was no news after that. Because of this incident, we retreated at that time and sent a few soldiers in to look for it, but unfortunately, we could not find anyone, let alone the so-called tomb. It's been going on until now. ”

Just listening to Cui Rongguang's description, I can even be sure that the location of the accident is the misty forest west of the village. I don't know where they found the mausoleum, but I'm a little curious that they were able to get out of the misty forest alive, and that so many people came out alive.

However, I can be sure of one thing, if the so-called Western Zhou Mausoleum is really in the misty forest, then it is really possible that it is the source of all the weirdness. It's nice to be able to follow the lucky ones who didn't die in the Misty Forest to go in and explore.

But then, Cui Rongguang changed his words and said to me: "Just half a month ago, we intercepted a batch of stolen cultural relics in the city. After interrogation by the public security, it can be known that the location where the tomb robbers excavated those cultural relics should not be far from the location we originally located. But what struck us as strange was that the tomb robber's confession never mentioned that he had walked into a cold, misty forest. Through the identification of those cultural relics, we can know that they are definitely cultural relics of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they are newly unearthed. It was because of this that we mentioned the exploration of the Western Zhou Mausoleum. After repositioning, we were able to find the location of the theft. ”

Now that you've found a place, shouldn't you let me help you move the coffins of the Western Zhou people? Since it is a mausoleum complex, how many coffins must be in it? They've all moved out, and who aren't tired of it?

Besides, I'm not in charge of archaeology, I'm just a coffin bearer, what's the use of you looking for me?

Who knows, before I could express a different opinion, Cui Rongguang continued to say to me: "Since the excavation site has been discovered, the tomb has been stolen and excavated, so it is very likely that it has caused a certain degree of damage to the things inside." Therefore, our archaeological team was ordered to rescue the cultural relics in this ancient tomb site. In order to prevent what happened in the past, we also deliberately asked the army to send people to help, and sent a squad of soldiers over. Just two days ago, a warrior with a rope tied around his waist was the first to descend into the tomb, and we waited on it. But then, a bolt of lightning struck the rope that was connected to it and ignited it, and it didn't take much time to completely burn it. There was no movement from below, and the warrior was still not heard from. We had no choice but to suspend the investigation for the time being, find someone in the nearby village who knew about the tomb, and help us lead the way, at least to find the little soldier. Otherwise, a living person will be lost like this, how can we explain it? ”

I finally understood what Cui Rongguang meant that in the two years from the discovery of the ancient tomb to the excavation of the ancient tomb, they had already lost two people. Then he wished I could go down to the tomb and help him find the man he was missing.

This is not a coffin!

I immediately shook my head, "Captain Cui, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's our line of business, and there are rules for our industry. Death is like life, and the dead are greater. People have been dead for so many years, how can they still bother people? We specialize in helping people deal with white affairs, which is different from tomb robbers. If you want to go down to the tomb to find something, shouldn't you ask the tomb robber to take you there? I can't help you! ”

"Little comrade, do you think we haven't thought about finding that tomb robber? But it's too late! Cui Rongguang looked into my eyes and said in a serious tone, "That tomb robber died violently on the third night after he was caught. Until now, no one has been able to find out what the disease is! But we suspect that his violent death must be inseparable from the ancient tomb. ”

Such a dangerous place, you want me to go?

Of course, danger doesn't matter, and none of the things I've encountered are much easier than this one. But what makes me unhappy is that they are going to disturb the peace of the deceased again.

I am a coffin bearer, and it is my duty to let the deceased rest in peace, and helping them is tantamount to aiding and abetting abuse?

Moreover, the violent death of the tomb robber, they suspected that it had something to do with the ancient tomb, and I decided that it had something to do with the ancient tomb! For example, when my father took someone to dig up the ancient tomb before, didn't everyone who participated that day die except for him?

Besides, if Cui Rongguang hadn't lied to me, then this would not be a simple grave, but a very large mausoleum. I almost can't deal with the murderous spirits in a small grave, and I don't dare to act rashly in this kind of place.
