Chapter 123: A Strange Earthquake

What is it? Old grandson! ”

It was round and as big as the bottom of a common wine bottle, glowing slightly greenish. Looking at this shimmer, it should be a fluorescent material, which can absorb a little light during the day and emit a pale green light in the night.

The reason why I know that there is this kind of material is because in those two years there was a kind of "luminous pen" that was popular, and those who went to elementary school and junior high school, as long as their families were not too poor, begged their parents to buy one of these pens.

"It's an archaeological flashlight!"

Uncle Shi replied lightly.

As soon as I heard it, I was confused.

"What? Flashlight! It can't be! ”

The history of human use of flashlights is only more than 100 years, and the ancient temple on this pit has existed for at least four or five hundred years, so it is obvious that the history of the coffin in this pit should be even older. How could there be a flashlight in the coffin? Or archaeology-specific!

"Xiao Zhen, I don't know if you noticed the figure in this coffin!"

Saying that, Uncle Shi jumped on the coffin and shone a flashlight into the coffin, the movement was very light, it was hard to imagine that this was an old man of seventy or eighty years old!

Originally, I was worried that this thing was not strong, after all, the history was too long, and when I saw Uncle Shi running up without any scruples, it seemed that he should know this thing very well, so I climbed up with it.

Looking at Uncle Shi's flashlight, I could vaguely see the vague figure, which seemed to be lying on the back of the long shadow.

"This is the person you're looking for!"

Uncle Shi's voice was extremely low, but in this quiet and chilling pit, it sounded so harsh.

"What? This...... Is this Professor Gu?"

I exclaimed. I've thought about this before, but reason tells me that it's simply impossible, how can such a big person get into a huge coffin without the slightest gap!

I asked again: "What's going on, old grandson, how did he get in!" ”

"This, I don't know, I saw him get into this big pit with my own eyes last night, so I went straight to this huge coffin, and then the person disappeared!"

Listening to the voice, Uncle Shi was also full of doubts.

"But...... How did you end up here? You know this place! I asked again.

I remember mentioning this ancient temple when I was chatting with my uncle before, but I didn't say it in detail, he couldn't have found it based on the few words I said, right?

"Actually, I knew about this place fifty years ago. Have you forgotten that at that time, it was me and your master who put the ancient bell in this temple into the river, and the senior brother guessed that there was something terrible hidden under this temple, and that the ancient bell was full of yin qi because it was eroded by the things below it all the year round......

Before Uncle Shi finished speaking, he was interrupted by me.

"That's not right! can temporarily suppress the evil energy in the Yellow River, then the ancient bell should be full of yang energy! ”

Uncle Shi rubbed it, jumped down from the huge coffin, smiled faintly at me, and did not answer me directly, but asked rhetorically: "Have you ever heard the phrase 'fighting poison with poison'?" ”

I nodded, and he continued, "This is the principle of the ancient bell that can suppress the dirty things in the Yellow River!" ”

I didn't seem to understand, and I didn't continue to ask.

"Old Sun, what's going on with this Professor Gu?"

When Uncle Shi heard this name, his face was stunned.

"Do you know why I left that night and didn't come out to see you yesterday?"

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know.

"That's because I'm chasing a soul!" Uncle Shi said sharply.

What the? Soul Chasing! Isn't the ghost what we often call ghosts? I thought to myself. Busy exclaimed: "Whose soul is this!" Could it be Professor Gu? ”

Uncle Shi smiled faintly again, and replied: "I no longer doubt my brother's eyesight now, you kid also has Huigen!" ”

It turned out that we were drinking on the beach of the Yellow River that night, and after we both fell asleep, Uncle Shi was meditating cross-legged (he had been meditating and practicing every night for many years).

Suddenly, he felt a yin wind blowing, and a black shadow came out of the Yellow River and went straight to the direction of the district.

Uncle Shi could feel that this yin qi was extremely domineering, and he was worried that something would happen, so he hurriedly left us a note and chased after him. He chased him all the way to the cultural center, and the soul was lost.

That night, Uncle Shi hid in the dark and watched, until after dawn, he saw two young people with extremely heavy yin qi entering the gate of this cultural center.

As soon as I heard the two young people, I hurriedly interrupted Uncle Shi's words and asked, "Are they two young people with glasses and politeness?" ”

Uncle Shi sneered and replied, "Yes! It's the two students of Professor Gu you said! ”

"Could it be that there is something wrong with them too?"

Uncle Shi nodded and said, "If my judgment is correct, these three people should have died in the Yellow River, and all you have come into contact with in the past two days are three souls!" ”

When I heard this, my scalp was numb. I thought to myself: how is this possible! These two days are our strengths! We drank together, and when I followed him, that thing ...... Thinking of Professor Gu's ghostly actions last night, I suddenly felt that what Uncle Shi said might be true.

Although on the whole, Professor Gu is faltering and does not move quickly, in some details, his behavior is still very incredible, such as when he climbs down the rope into the well, his whole body seems to have no weight.

"But Lao Sun, what is his purpose?"

I asked. During this time with Zhang Kailong, I am also used to asking about motives in everything. Zhang Kailong once told me that everyone has his own motive for doing things, solving cases is like this, and life is also like this, so when he investigates and interrogates criminals, the first thing he thinks about is what the motive of this person is to do this, and with the motive, he has the direction to continue the investigation.

Uncle Shi thought for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe the things in this coffin once belonged to the Yellow River!" The souls of those three people all came out of the Yellow River, and they should have been controlled by the dirty things in the Yellow River! ”

As the two of them were talking, I suddenly felt a vibration under my feet, and there was a faint roar.

Then the surroundings shook slightly, and the blue bricks around the pit crackled and fell.

"Oh no, it's going to be an earthquake!"

I shouted, and I pulled my uncle and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.

As soon as we rushed into the tunnel, there was a sound of collapse coming from behind, and the dust above us rained down on us.

It was a wild run, and I knew in my heart that if I was buried alive in this tunnel, I was afraid that no one would know if I died.

The two of us rushed to the ancient well one after another, and climbed up along the rope like a monkey, and I didn't know where the brute strength came from, so I jumped out of the well, and turned around and pulled Uncle Shi up.

I'm fine, but my breathing is a little uneven, but Uncle Shi is miserable, and when I dragged him out, he almost collapsed.

We lay flat on the edge of the well, and the feeling of the earthquake lasted for a few more minutes before the whole world returned to calm.

"Xiao Zhen...... It's time......"

Uncle Shi gasped and told me.

I didn't understand him at all, but I didn't bother to ask.

After a few more minutes, we got up and went to the edge of the well to look down, and something strange had happened!

The well is now half watered.

Could it be that the tunnel has collapsed? I was shocked.

"This should be the end of the matter!"

Uncle Shi sighed.

Then we returned to the west of the village, and in the distance I saw that the crater was gone, replaced by a muddy water.

"Oh my God! It's too fast, and the whole pit is filled with water! ”

I exclaimed.

Uncle Shi probably didn't expect that in less than half an hour, such a big pit had turned into a lake.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the two of them stared blankly for a while, and then Uncle Shi asked me to go back first, and asked me to pretend not to know all this.

He said that he was going to Xiaohe Village to do some errands, so he parted ways with me at the west entrance of the village.

On the way back, I saw almost all the lights on in their homes, the crying of children, the barking of dogs...... Hearing these voices, I felt a lot more at ease.

As soon as I walked to the door of Wang Jiliang's house, I almost bumped into Wang Jiliang who came out of my arms.

"Ouch, Xiao Zhen! Where have you been? ”

It turned out that after Wang Jiliang was woken up by the shaking of the earth and the mountain before, he went to his daughter's room to find me, and after seeing that I was not there, he was about to go out to have a look.

"I ...... I heard a noise outside, and I was afraid that there was a thief, so I chased after him...... I just happened to encounter the shaking just now, so I waited for a while to come back. ”

"That's right...... It's good that people are okay! It just so happens that you and I will take a turn around and see if there are any collapsed houses or casualties in our village. ”

The two of us wandered around the streets, and Wang Jiliang knew that my eyes could see at night, so he asked me to act as his eyes.

After a circle, I was surprised to find that there were no collapsed houses or walls, and even those dilapidated and abandoned houses that had fallen into disrepair were intact, which was a good thing, but it also made people a little puzzled.

If there are no collapsed houses, there will be no casualties.

As soon as dawn we arrived at the west of the village, and when they saw the small lake with ripples, they were shocked.

"What's going on, how can there be an extra lake for no reason?"

"Overnight! Where does the water come from!! ”

In addition to me, there was another person who was also very abnormal, and that was Chen Laosan.

Chen Laosan's face was just flushed, but I could tell that he was not shocked by what he saw.

After eight o'clock, the Public Security Bureau, the Cultural Center, and two other commercial vehicles with foreign license plates came.

Zhang Kailong and Yang Guoshan ran up to me with puzzled faces and asked what was going on.

There were a lot of people behind me, and I glanced at it casually, and there were a few unfamiliar faces among them.

I concealed that I had seen my uncle and had been here with him, and I only said that there was an earthquake last night, and I saw the water in this pool in the morning.

"Earthquakes? I don't feel it! ”

As they spoke, they looked at each other, as if seeking answers from each other.

After everyone said they didn't feel the earthquake, their eyes swept back to me.

"It's true that there was an earthquake, but the movement is still small."

Wang Jiliang also helped explain.
