004 Famous Demon (2)
Wu Haode has followed Gu Zhenting for many years and is Gu Zhenting's most outstanding student and assistant. Gu Zhenting let Wu Haode handle many things, and the results made Gu Zhenting very satisfied, so Gu Zhenting was very relieved of Wu Haode's ability.
Not long after Gu Zhenting left, the bright night sky suddenly changed color, the dark clouds quickly gathered, the stars and the moon closed, the wind suddenly rose, and the lightning flashed and thundered. After a while, heavy rain poured down.
Fortunately, the excavation site was tightly surrounded like a yurt, so the on-site work was not affected by heavy rain. But Mr. Wu worries that the rains will cause the water table to rise, causing problems for archaeological work.
Because the No. 7 pit covers a large area and is relatively deep, a bucket shape was formed during the excavation process, and it was also built into a staircase shape, which was very convenient for personnel to go up and down and transport the soil out.
Colonel Zhang circled around the edge of the huge No. 7 pit, for archaeological work, he was a layman, and it was not his turn to help, and the long night was long, since there was nothing to kill time, he had to take a boring walk on the top of the No. 7 pit. At this time, Wu Haode was at the bottom of the pit and several professional archaeologists instructed the workers to carefully and meticulously excavate and transport the soil. After cleaning the bronze mask in the afternoon, the pit had been dug down almost ten meters deeper. What is strange is that after digging so deeply, there is still no spring water gushing out, and the soil is still not sticky or dry, and it is still wet. The stairs of the bucket-shaped pit were already a little more than two meters from the bottom, and it was impossible to expand them, because if they did, they would only have to reduce the area to be dug down. So Wu Haode decided to take the method of vertical digging, so he dug more than two meters, but still found nothing.
Suddenly, Wu Haode heard a panicked scream "Blood, blood, a lot of blood...... Following the sound, Wu Haode saw the pit wall near the bottom, and at some point a crack in the soil was cracked, and the crack was seeping out with dark red liquid.
Wu Haode's heart suddenly stirred, his heartbeat suddenly increased, his eyes were dull for two seconds, and then he shouted loudly: "What are you shouting, don't get close, everyone retreat." He saw the workers leaning into the cracks in the soil that was oozing dark red liquid, and he secretly said to himself. Years of archaeological experience have taught him that whenever something strange happens, there must be danger. Several archaeologists are also trying their best to maintain order at the site and guide the personnel to leave.
Colonel Zhang was bored above, and when he heard the noisy voices below, he immediately galloped down, his movements light as an ape. Wu Haode was at the bottom of the pit to maintain the order of the workers retreating upwards, when he suddenly felt a shadow pass overhead, and when he looked back, Colonel Zhang had jumped off the bottom of the pit. There was a distance of dozens of meters from the top of the pit to the bottom of the pit, but Colonel Zhang ran from the top to the bottom in an instant.
When Colonel Zhang saw the bubbling liquid, his heart trembled, and he didn't know if it was excitement or what, he actually laughed "hehe". In this weird atmosphere, he could still laugh, I really don't know what he was thinking at this time.
After laughing, he shouted at Wu Haode, "You go up quickly and inform Professor Gu and Chen Magnet." "Chen Wenming's nickname is really much more popular than his real name. After saying this, Colonel Zhang immediately picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on his waist and summoned A Wei to come.
Wu Haode climbed up and immediately called Chen Wenming, as soon as he heard the call, Chen Wenming immediately climbed out of the bed, and rushed over with a raincoat in his disheveled clothes, and after Wu Haode finished the call, he hurriedly ran towards the camp, because our Mr. Gu Zhenting does not use modern communication tools, and the most depressing thing is that Gu Zhenting lives far away from others, even if he asks others to inform him, there is a certain degree of difficulty, so Wu Haode didn't care about the wind and rain outside, and rushed into the rain towards the camp.
Gu Zhenting basically knew what happened later.
After listening to Wu Haode's narration, Gu Zhenting first spoke, "Can anyone explain this phenomenon to me?" Gu Zhenting raised his watch to look at the time as he spoke.
"There is a kind of red sedimentary rock, if the water flow is fast, it will be washed and decomposed, and now it happens to be raining heavily, and the groundwater level has risen sharply, but ......" geologist Zhang Xiao took Gu Zhenting's words and put forward his opinion, but the viscous liquid does not look like a mixture of groundwater and sedimentary rock formations, he said that he can't go on here.
"You're talking about the laterite layer of the Danxia landform?" Gu Zhenting's face was displeased, it seems that the expert is just like this.
"Let's take a sample and take it for testing." Qin Fei lifted his glasses and said.
Gu Zhenting shook his head, "I'm afraid there's no time." "These experts came and didn't have any reasonable explanation.
He swept his eyes over the faces of several experts one by one, and then saw Liu Wensheng looking down at the blood pool and bowing his head and saying nothing. I couldn't help but ask, "Master Liu, what do you have a good opinion?" ”
Liu Wensheng has always kept his distance from these three experts who have drunk foreign ink. In fact, in the W Bureau, there has always been a kind of estrangement between the strange people from the people and the experts who have received modern science since childhood. People like Liu Wensheng look down on such intellectuals who shake their bookbags all day long in their hearts, and these scholars and experts call Liu Wensheng and his ilk "pseudoscience" and belong to the traditional dross, and they don't take these people seriously at all. So due to ideological issues, the feelings of the two sides are not very harmonious.
Fortunately, although Gu Zhenting received an education in modern science, he was an experienced archaeologist who knew that there were too many things in reality that could not be understood according to common sense, so he could only turn to ancient magic that had been passed down from generation to generation. Many experts and scholars in Bureau W also understand this truth, but they can understand it but are unwilling to accept things that will subvert their lifelong research.
"Well, it's hard to say." Liu Wensheng said slowly, "From a feng shui point of view, this is likely to be a feng shui demon bureau. ”
"How?" Gu Zhenting's expression was a little complicated. In his opinion, the weeping blood spring recorded in this ancient book already exists, but he needs an expert to give him a reasonable explanation, but he didn't expect to get such a word from Liu Wensheng's mouth.
"Mr. Gu, look," Liu Wensheng's attitude towards Gu Zhenting was quite good, only to see him squatting down and drawing on the ground with his rough fingers. After a while, a pattern came out. When Gu Zhenting saw this pattern, he couldn't help but be shocked. scolded himself secretly, "I'm really confused, why didn't I find this!" ”
Liu Wensheng painted the specific location of the No. 1~7 pits excavated during this time. And connecting these positions with straight lines just forms a constellation map of the Big Dipper. Gu Zhenting took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Liu, could you please explain, what is this Feng Shui Town Demon Bureau and what is its purpose?"
