Shonan Ghost Cub Shonan Ghost Cub Chapter 10: Cliff Horror
The ropes on the rock wall look like the ropes in the package that Aunt Ming sent me, and this kind of rope is commonly used by professional explorers or "tomb robbers". In the black notes given to me by the second uncle, descriptions of this kind of rope often appear.
Did some grave robbers find out about it?
When this idea came to me, I realized the seriousness of the problem, and if there were tomb robbers here, my next actions would be extremely uncontrollable.
Judging by the fact that there was only one rope on the cliff wall, he was fighting alone like me. It's always unsettling for an unknown enemy.
In my impression, the image of the tomb robber is fixed in the appearance of Svenwen's bespectacled uncle, and this feeling is formed from a public class. It is an old researcher who explained to us the photos shown in the slides when we explained the excavation of the ancient tombs of the Shang Dynasty and the culture of the Shang Dynasty.
At that time, China's archaeological field was still very backward, and many technical means had not yet formed a set of systems, including the "high-end technology" of finding ancient tombs and determining the location of tombs.
At that time, due to the lack of some historical and cultural fields in China, the state established the General Institute of Archaeology, and the branches in each region had tasks.
And he also received an excavation task for the tomb of the Shang Dynasty, and the general area has been determined, but the location of the main tomb has not been found for a long time.
At that time, our country was still poor and white, and it did not support large-scale useless excavation at all, so the courtyard gave him an order to find the most convenient and simple solution.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, after a meeting and discussion, someone in his team proposed to find a master of the gold and gold points to help, which was unanimously agreed by everyone, and they determined the final candidate to be a tomb robber called "four-eyed arithmetic" by the people of the rivers and lakes.
Later, the whole team inquired about his whereabouts, and at this moment, the "four-eyed eye calculation" has been in prison for a long time, and there are still several years of prison to be sentenced, and he is charged with tomb robbery and reselling cultural relics.
In order to complete the excavation mission, he found the courtyard and introduced his ideas.
After careful consideration, the institute agreed to his suggestion, and finally passed the approval of the state, allowing this seemingly Sven tomb robber to be convicted of meritorious service.
As for this "four-eyed arithmetic", with this opportunity to reduce the sentence, it was naturally very positive, and with a big "divine might", not only found the main tomb, but also found several important burial tombs, which played a great role in the repair of history. With this meritorious performance, the archaeological institute has one more Sven "tomb robber" as a pioneer.
That was the first time I knew there was a "grave robber" industry, and now I could be in a confrontation with a real "grave robber".
Next to the rope at the base of the cedar tree, a few very flat cigarette butts were buried in the grass, and some dry food scraps were piled up next to them, gnawing on the clean sausage skins. It can be seen that this tomb robber is still a side-headed and side-tailed foodie.
With this rope, I also save myself the strength to tie the rope, and from the perspective of the binding position and fixation of this rope, its professionalism is definitely stronger than that of tying it again.
I pulled the rope from the bottom of the cliff, and I was shocked by the length of the rope, which was more than 100 meters long, so deep that I don't know how this crack came about. Which dynasty's emperor would bury his mausoleum here? I searched through the books I remembered, but I couldn't find the answer.
I tied the rope I had pulled up tightly, took the grappling hook out of my backpack, and put on my gloves so that I could grasp the crack and cushion the speed of my fall as I fell. In this way, like a special soldier, I fell down the uneven cliff wall towards the bottom of the cliff.
The two-meter-wide crack was still mostly bright in the sunlight, but as I went deeper and the sun moved, it became darker and darker, and there were many strange plants growing on the walls of the rock wall, all of which were suitable for growing in the shade.
As I descended some distance, I saw a mushroom-like plant about five meters away, with a delicate flower peeking out of the mushroom-like plant. The red flowers are particularly beautiful, and I was fascinated by it for a while.
Suddenly, the rope that tied me to me moved, and someone was dragging me up at the top of the cliff!
I looked up and saw that the sun in the sky had disappeared at some point, and had turned into a dark cloud.
Judging by the trajectory of my rope, the person pulling it is quite strong!
I returned to the top of the cliff in a state of being dragged along, and the last time I jumped straight up, fell face to the ground into the grass, and threw me to the ground.
The scraps of food that the "tomb robber" who had descended to the dungeon before me were eating right in front of my eyes.
I cursed in my heart, gritted my teeth, and slowly turned over with my hands on the ground to see the appearance of the person who was dragging me.
The sky is cloudy, and there is a cool breeze, as if the season has changed, where there is still the shadow of early autumn in the south, but there is a sense of autumn loneliness in the north.
After turning over, the scenery around the top of the cliff was no different from before I went down the cliff, except that the sky was cloudy and different from before.
When my gaze swept to the man standing not far from me, my head buzzed.
Behind the cedar tree tied with ropes, there stood an old man wearing a strange hat, with white hair and white beard, eyes like torches, and his face was so white that there was no trace of blood! The clothes all over the body turned out to be the costumes of the Han Dynasty depicted in the history books! After I looked at the old man, he suddenly smiled, and his pale face looked so weird and weird with his smile!
Judging from his appearance, he is at least over eighty years old, and at such an age, he can actually send out the strength to pull me up!
At that time, there was an extremely dangerous signal in my heart, the weirdness of the old man in front of me was completely different from the feeling given to me by the old man guarding the mountain in the "Ghost Cub Ridge", although the old man guarding the mountain was also weird, but it did not make me feel the danger that appeared now.
I quickly fell back on my knees in a position that I hadn't gotten up yet, to make sure I wasn't out of his range! Then he took out the dagger from his backpack and defended it in front of him!
"Welcome, young man!"
While I was nervously guarding, the old man in Hanfu suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse as if his throat was stuffed with sawdust. That weird smile still hung on his face!
After he finished speaking, the scene around me also changed, and the long grass that was originally covered under my feet disappeared, and then clumps of mushrooms emerged from the ground, and red and bright flowers grew from the gap in the middle of the mushrooms at a speed visible to the naked eye! Those flowers are exactly the same as the weird flowers I just saw on the cliff wall!
These strange flowers appeared and quickly enveloped me, and they were still growing, spreading towards my legs and my body!
I used the dagger in my hand to slash at the bewitching flowers that were crawling upwards, but I didn't cut them as fast as they did! Soon, my whole body was wrapped in flowers, and only my eyes and nostrils were exposed.
I could barely move! At the same time, I saw the old man in Hanfu with a weird smile rushing towards me, faster than the speed of a physically strong young man!
When it was about to hit me, I nervously closed my eyes and waited for the impact! But after waiting for a while, the imaginary impact did not appear.
Immediately after that, there was a sharp pain in my arm, I slowly opened my eyes and looked down, and was horrified to find that there was a hole in my arm, which was dripping blood, and the bewitching flowers around me had disappeared at some point. And the grappling hook that I had thrown back when I was dragged to the top of the cliff was back on my hand, and the wound on my arm was scratched by it!
I just wanted to get up with a dagger and fight with the old man in Hanfu, but I found that the opposite of me was full of stone walls, with ropes hanging in front of me.
I vividly remember how I reacted when I regained my senses, and I hung over the cliff for a long time before I realized what it was all about.
Apparently everything I had just seen was my hallucination, an illusion created by a glance at the bewitching flowers! I glanced up at the sky above the cracks, and although the sun was invisible, there was still sunlight shining through, and there were no dark clouds at all, and some of them were still the scene of early autumn in the south.

In my later experience, I saw this delicate flower again and learned its name, "Flower of the Other Side".
This flower often grows in the cracks of stones and graves in the wild, so some people say that it is "the flower on the Huangquan Road". Its flowers are generally red and bright, and they bloom exceptionally beautifully. After going out of this underground palace, I also specially checked the characteristics of this flower, his roots contain alkaloid ricklin poison, which can cause vomiting, spasms and other symptoms, has a significant impact on the central nervous system, can be used for sedation, inhibition of drug metabolism and anti-cancer effects. And the flower that I came across with a mushroom-like root and hallucinogenic has never been recorded, and I have never encountered the same flower in my subsequent experiences.
I think that the only flower that I encountered was probably due to an unknown mysterious force or an unknown spatial gravity, and this unique flower was presented in front of my eyes as a welcome ceremony for me to join this special "underground world......
※※※
There was such a strange hallucinatory scene, and I didn't dare to look at the weird and bewitching flowers anymore.
If it weren't for the pain caused by the grappling hook embedded in my flesh that pulled me back from the hallucination, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, I still woke up, in the place where the sun could not shine under me, there were more and more moss on the cliff, after I hallucinated, because of my struggle, I had unconsciously descended some distance, my body was now tightly attached to the cliff, and the cool feeling of the moss rubbed my whole body was blue.
My arm was still bloody, and I managed to hold my body down, intending to get some toilet paper from the backpack behind me to stop the bleeding from the wound.
But when I reached for my backpack with my right hand, I turned sideways and found something that I couldn't believe!
I saw that on the cliff opposite me, three dark caves suddenly appeared, and three black wooden coffins were placed horizontally at the innermost end of the cave! And the lids of all three coffins were opened!
