Chapter 62: Gu Poison in the Coffin

On the way back to Nanning from Qianzhou, I came to a mountain top where all things are full of spiritual energy. Surrounded by mountains and uninhabited here, it is a good place to practice the crape myrtle Taoist scriptures. I have been sitting here for more than three hours, and the crape myrtle aura in my body has already been filled.

However, he didn't plan to leave, and it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early, so he continued to practice floating life refining qi. After breaking through the Yin and Yang Void and Reality, his divine sense has changed, and in addition to being more acute than before, he can also sense the surrounding situation externally.

Or because the five senses are often fully opened, with the blessing of the release of divine consciousness, what is felt is the outline of the aura when it is released. It's the real feeling, the smell, the color, etc., and this progress, at first, I felt amazing, and I practiced a lot from time to time.

In the realm of Taiyin, the person in the dream has not taken the initiative to appear for a long, long time, and he has not taken the initiative to call him, I understand that this year, I don't know when, he will completely dissipate.

According to the instructions of the Dream Refining Body, he began to transform and establish scenes in the realm of Yin Consciousness. I first turned into a hill with lush vegetation and greenery.

Then, in the flat part of the hill, a thatched hut was formed. Four stout straight pine trees are the pillars, and the south bamboo is the whole floor and four walls, half a meter high from the ground. The roof is made of two-metre-long serrated thatch, covered on all sides.

The size of the whole house is about 20 square meters, with two windows and one door, but there are no window lattices and doors. There is no furniture in the room, only a stone in the center, which is used for meditation and rest.

When the hut was built, all the cultivators in the realm of yin consciousness came here. Now there is only one mountain and one house here, and as I continue to practice, I plan to turn another lake around it and turn the hill into an island.

After another two hours of practicing at the top of the mountain, I felt that the time was almost up, so I got up and headed down the mountain. After returning to the car, I continued to drive forward and rushed to the Nanning garrison, not knowing if Bai Xuemei had arrived.

Two days later, on February 14, 2000. Unhurriedly, he returned to the garrison and found that Bai Xuemei had not returned. Anyway, it's not a big deal now, it doesn't matter if you come later, when there is no task, the nine parts are still quite free.

Chu Laihu's master, Captain Xiang helped investigate his information last year. His real name is He Wenting, his ancestral home is Shuchuan, in his early years, he worshipped a master as a teacher by chance, and he had to pass on the method of cultivation.

It is not clear how many apprentices He Wenting has, but his own actions are not evil. When I got the news, of course, I didn't think about making trouble with him, and he didn't seem to have any intention of making trouble with me again.

The next morning, just after 10 a.m., I received nine phone calls, which was the first assignment after the Chinese New Year. Since Bai Xuemei hasn't arrived yet, let's go and see the situation myself.

Driving out of Nanning, I thought about dialing her mobile phone on the way, and after a few beeps, a familiar and pleasant voice came.

"Hey, Windforest."

"Happy New Year, White Girl!"

"Happy New Year, I have something at home, I have to come over a few days later, there is nothing wrong with Nanning, right?"

"There's a task, I'll find out first, you don't have to worry, you can come back after dealing with family affairs."

"Thank you then."

Hearing her voice made me feel a lot more relieved. Hung up the phone and continued to Guigang. Nanning is not far from Guigang, departing at noon and arriving in the city at five o'clock in the afternoon. I stayed in the city for one night, and I plan to continue the next day, a place called Longshan Village in the north of Guigang.

After 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, I arrived at the Longshan Village Police Station and met Officer Qu. After the two talked, they realized that they had not yet arrived at the place, and after eating lunch together, they set off again. Under the leadership of Officer Qu, we drove into the mountains, passing through several villages and into the deepest part of the mountains.

When I parked again, I was in a small village called Xiugu Village. In the open space where the car was parked, there was also a Jiefang truck, which was covered by a green tarpaulin on its cargo bed.

On one side of the clearing is an old-fashioned tiled house in the countryside, with three large and two small, with the larger one with the door open. As soon as the two of them got out of the car, Officer Qu led me to the larger house in the middle.

Just after the New Year, I didn't see couplets on both sides of the porch, and there was no door god or blessing on the door. When I entered the hall, I was greeted by a shrine board, which was covered with dust, and it was no longer possible to see which god it was in the portrait pasted on it. The square table was also moved to the middle of the hall, leaving only the shrine board standing alone.

Officer Qu walked straight around the square table and came to the door on the left side of the shrine and shouted, "Doctor Ai, I've brought someone here." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman said, "Who are you here?" ”

Then I saw a woman in her thirties, who opened the door and walked out. She was wearing a green liberation suit, her hair was tied in a ponytail, she wore a cotton mask on her face, her eyelashes were slender under two thick eyebrows, a pair of brown pupils looked at me, and there were a lot of bloodshot whites in the whites of her eyes. As he spoke, he closed the door and removed his mask. An emaciated face was revealed, but now smiling.

Officer Qu said, "It's an expert sent from above." ”

"Oh! That's a good idea. Dr. Ai said a little blankly.

"My name is Wind Forest." I took the initiative to introduce myself and held out my right hand.

She brushed her hair behind her ears, then reached out and shook my hand and said, "Ai Wan." Then the three of them sat down at the square table and began to tell me what had happened.

Two months ago, local residents went up the mountain to reclaim wasteland and stumbled upon an ancient tomb. As the news spread, some villagers wanted to go down to the tomb to hunt for treasure. A week later, the matter spread to the police station, and after reporting to the relevant departments, they also rushed to Xiugu Village to investigate the situation.

More than a month ago, the provincial archaeological team received a task and went to Xiugu Village. Because I was worried about being targeted by someone with a heart, I planned to carry out the excavation and protection work as soon as possible, and a team of five people, with the assistance of the local police station, began the work.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the number of young people returning from working in the village increased, and the situation became complicated, and many people wanted to make a windfall. Despite the efforts of the archaeological team and the police station to guard the tomb, a few people sneaked into the tomb.

At this time, the excavation work was only halfway through, and the tomb had just been opened. The archaeological team is also waiting to confirm the layout specifications of the tomb and judge the relevant historical information. But that night, three people who slipped into the tomb died.

The archaeological team went down to the tomb early the next morning to find their bodies, and then the archaeological team and the police station notified the city public security bureau, and among the police officers who investigated the scene, there was Officer Qu. The police judged from the situation at the scene that the three men were fighting each other to death. From the scars and causes of their deaths, one can imagine the tragic and bloody situation at that time.

Those who coveted treasures, when they saw that three people died, also settled down a lot. Due to the loss of human life, the Public Security Bureau did not continue the archaeological work on the burial chamber during the blockade investigation, but instead investigated other places.

Within two days, when the Spring Festival holiday came, the archaeological team evacuated the site and went home for the New Year, and the ancient tomb site was handed over to the local police station for care.

I thought that after the New Year, with a large number of young people leaving home again, everything would return to normal, but who knew that when the archaeological team came back on the eighth day of the new year, something happened again.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, they met in these three tiled houses to discuss the next work. Since the case of the previous year has now been closed, the lockdown of the crime scene has been lifted and the archaeological work can continue.

A little after three o'clock in the afternoon, a group of five people came to the tomb and began to work. At first, they found a lot of destroyed books and porcelain, which made them feel sorry for themselves. These man-made things should have been caused by the three of them when they were fighting each other.

Although it was debris, the archaeological team still carefully cleaned it up to see if there was a chance of restoration in the future. As time passed, well-preserved antiques were slowly discovered, which also made the archaeological team happy.

Since there was no light in the tomb, the five of them relied on gasoline lamps and flashlights, so it was dark before they knew it. The surroundings had been cleared, and they were ready to open the coffin.

In the five-member team, the three men are Captain Yin Gaofei, Vice Captain Zhong Tianbin, and Li Wan. The two women are Team Member Li Lingling and Team Member Ai Wan. Ai Wan is Yin Gaofei's wife, who was a doctor in her early years before turning to archaeology under the influence of her husband.

Captain Yin and Li Wan were one after the other, and the other three stood aside, waiting for the opportunity to move. The moment the two men lifted the lid of the coffin, a faint gray mist drifted away, and then with a 'bang', the lid of the coffin was covered again, and the two people who opened the coffin were soft to the ground.

When the other three were still unknown, Li Lingling and Zhong Tianbin also staggered and fainted. Only Ai Wan was spared because she was not used to the smell of the tomb, so she always wore a mask.

But seeing her teammates fall one by one, she immediately sensitively realized that the coffin might be poisonous. Then he immediately ran out of the tomb, called the police on the walkie-talkie, and asked them to come over with masks in the room.

At this time, it was already dark outside, and it would take about ten minutes for the police to come over. Of course, she couldn't wait, and when she was done, she turned around and went back to the tomb. first carried out the petite Chen Lingling, then Captain Yin, Deputy Captain Zhong, and finally Li Wan.

Just when she was struggling to climb out with Li Wan on her back, Li Wan on her back suddenly grabbed her neck. Suddenly, Ai Wan was shocked and struggled hard, intending to get rid of the person on her back.

Fortunately, the previous rescue made him sweat, his face and neck were full of sweat, and he slipped away under the struggle. As soon as Fang broke free, he ran forward desperately. Because he only wears a searchlight on his head, he can't see the ground clearly when he runs.

He didn't take a few steps before he tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. When he turned over, he happened to see the hideous-looking Li Wan pounce. At the last moment, the police who arrived shot Li Wan from behind and knocked Li Wan unconscious.

When the police and her put on masks, they found a tree vine and tied the four of them hand and foot one by one. While carrying the four of them, someone woke up, and sure enough, he was delirious and struggling. It took a lot of effort for the two to move them back to their quarters.

All four of them were injured by stones and thorny trees because of their struggles. Ai Wan thought back that if it weren't for the strong vines used to bind her at that time, she would have been freed from them long ago. So the day after returning to the village, Officer Qu, who received the news, brought a few iron chains.

After discussing with Officer Qu on the same day, it was decided not to send him to the hospital for the time being, because this situation would not be contagious. Officer Qu also realized the seriousness of the matter and then reported the case.

By the time I received the assignment from Nanning, it was already the third day of the incident. After listening to Ai Wan and Officer Qu's narratives, I thought for a while and said, "Let me see their situation first." ”

Ai Wan nodded, then took out a cotton mask from her pocket and handed it over, I took it and followed her into the room just now. I saw that in the dim room, a person was tied to the bed in large characters, and he was already asleep at this time.

I approached and reached out to grasp the three levels, probing him with my divine sense. Eventually, it was discovered in his brain that there seemed to be several tiny insects attached to it, and he thought to himself that it must be the mental madness caused by these insects.

But I didn't know how to get rid of these bugs, and if I tried too aggressively, it could endanger his life. It seems that the only way to do this is to go down to the grave to see if anything can be found.

After looking at it for a while, he walked out of the room after finding nothing else. "Do you want to see the other three?" Ai Wan asked.

"No, I already have a general idea of the situation. Officer Qu, take me to the cemetery. I said quietly.

"Good! Let's get there. Officer Qu replied, and Ai Wan on the side seemed to be a little disappointed, didn't say anything, and walked behind the shrine board.

Leaving the residence, passing through the village road, I saw many elderly people sitting at the door chatting. After leaving the village, we walked into the woods and climbed the hillside along the path. After climbing over the mountain, I saw the ground dug by hand in the middle of the mountain.

The excavation area is only about nine square meters, and there is a tunnel that slopes downward. Outside, Officer Qu lit the gasoline lamp, the same one used by the third child when he was in Kuigu Township a few years ago.

"Officer Qu, is it down here?" I asked.

"Yes, there are three burial chambers below, and the finished glyph is finished." He replied.

"I'll go down alone, Officer Qu will wait for me above."

"Why don't the two of them go down, so that there is a response." Officer Qu said uneasily.

"It's okay, but if I really have a problem, you can only rescue in time when you're outside."

"Oh well! Be careful. ”

I nodded, took the gasoline lamp from him, and followed the passage down, and after about seven or eight meters, bricks appeared all around. Further inside, you can see the stone burial chamber. The burial chamber is about two meters high, and you can stand upright when you stand inside.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large stone tablet with a ceiling of Qi Tianhua, the two sides of the stele body are carved with patterns, and the front is engraved with the inscription in traditional Chinese official script. Behind the stele are three doors without doors, and the porches are also carved with patterns, all of them open.

I looked at the three doors, then headed straight for the middle one. When I entered the tomb, I saw a dark coffin on the brick platform in the middle of the tomb, and nothing else.

The coffin refers to two things, the coffin is inside and the coffin is outside, which is used to prevent moisture and theft. There is only one coffin, but the coffin can have many layers. Generally, the deceased's body and status at that time can be distinguished by the number of layers, up to ten layers.

While thinking, he stretched out his hand and lifted the coffin lid.
