Chapter 276: The Ghost on the Second Floor in the Early Morning
Seeing Professor Gu's face full of devotion, I was really embarrassed to interrupt, and when I heard him mention the "Dongyi Holy Maiden", Master Miao and Miao Wu immediately appeared in my mind, and I hurriedly took the opportunity to interrupt him.
Professor Ku ...... I should know what kind of character you are talking about......"
"Oh? It's up to you...... Seeing that you are younger than Su Beibei, you even know the history of Dongyi Wu - you shouldn't have studied archaeology, right? And...... And Su Beibei also said that you ...... Say you've dropped out of school......"
I know that the more knowledgeable a person is, the more serious he is, and the more he likes to be more honest.
"Beibei didn't lie to you - the reason why I know this history is related to the Taoism I learned - maybe it's a coincidence!"
"Oh! Then I'm very interested in listening to the little brother! ”
Beibei smiled and said: "Teacher Gu, just call him Xiaoxie, you are so old, you are still our teacher - calling him brother, we sound really awkward!" ”
The others also muttered, "Yes! That's right! You call him brother, do we have to call him uncle! He's younger than all of us......"
I hurriedly waved my hand at everyone: "Everyone is right, Professor Gu and everyone just call me Xiaoxie." ”
Professor Gu was not on the same channel as us, he still looked serious, nodded, and continued: "Little evil, do you know the history of Dongyi witchcraft? ”
"I don't know if what I know is the history you said - some time ago we went to Xiangxi together, combined with some miscellaneous information that my uncle told me before, I know a little about the ancient tribe of Dongyi."
"What do you know specifically about ......"
"Witchcraft and Gu magic!"
Professor Gu seemed surprised by what I said, and his eyes widened slightly.
"You...... Do you know that the Miao people's Gu art comes from the Dongyi tribe? ”
I nodded: "Uncle Shi said that the current Miao people are actually the Houyi of the Dongyi people after the defeat, and after the Dongyi tribe was scattered at that time, only this part of the people who moved west inherited the Gu art of the Dongyi tribe......"
Professor Gu nodded.
"Little evil! You're right, but the most powerful thing about the Dongyi clan at that time was not Gu magic, but witchcraft—in fact, the so-called witchcraft at that time was a combination of the two. ”
He pointed to the huge red coffin behind him, and continued: "The Dongyi tribe is just a general title, it also includes hundreds of small tribes, each tribe has a girl who specializes in witchcraft, this girl must be a virgin, we call it 'Dongyi Holy Maiden', I judge that the ancient tomb excavated this time is the tomb of one of the holy women." ”
I nodded: "Actually, that's all I know, the key is that I don't know archaeology!" How can I help? ”
Hearing me say this, Professor Gu smiled: "Please come!" It's not for archaeology – but it's really about these artifacts......"
"Oh?" I glanced around at the strange excavated artifacts again, waiting for Professor Gu's next words.
"Because the archaeological work was not completed, the artifacts were temporarily placed in the school, and the Cultural Relics Bureau sent six full-time security guards to take turns on duty, and there was an accident five days ago, that is, the first night the artifacts were put here......
"Something's wrong?"
"That's right! At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the two security guards on duty saw a figure flickering on the second floor through the window, they thought it was a thief, and hurriedly went upstairs to investigate, and finally searched every corner of the second floor, but they didn't see anyone. ”
Hearing him say this, I subconsciously glanced at the red coffin behind me.
"When I learned about it the next day, I thought it was a prank by the little security guard and didn't take it seriously, but the next night the other two security guards were in the same situation."
"I also saw a figure walking around, but I couldn't find anyone?"
Professor Gu nodded: "This time, the two security guards looked carefully, and said that it was a woman's shadow, a woman with long hair!" On the third night, the security guards on duty were frightened and begged me to stay with them, and this strange scene reappeared......"
"Do you see a woman's shadow swaying, too?"
"That's right! At first, I still didn't believe in evil, I have dealt with cultural relics all my life, and I have touched not a hundred but eighty ancient corpses, and I have never encountered such a thing, so my first feeling is that someone is still troubled! ”
"Then you didn't go upstairs to see?"
"Look, each of us took a strong flashlight at that time, but unfortunately we still didn't find anyone. At that time, my doubts reached the apex - the windows have anti-theft windows, the doors are also intact, and if there are people inside, it is absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air! Finally I came up with a possibility......"
"What is possible?"
"This big coffin!" As he spoke, he pointed to the red coffin.
"Because it wasn't ready, the coffin wasn't opened at that time, but the three of us walked to the front of the red coffin with a flashlight, only to find that there was a gap in the coffin board......"
"It shouldn't be!" I replied casually.
When I was in the ancient burial village before, I also followed Uncle Wang and my grandmother to open the coffin in the middle of the night, and I knew that when the wooden coffin was buried, it would use nine long nails, and it would be hard to open the coffin.
"It shouldn't be! The only explanation is the ...... in the coffin The stuff came out, and it was her that we just saw! ”
I glanced at the mahogany coffin again, and the lid of the coffin was so tightly closed that there was not a millimeter of gap......
Professor Gu seemed to see my doubts, smiled bitterly, and continued: "I reported to the cultural relics department that night, but when the people from the cultural relics department came, it was already dawn, and when everyone inspected the mahogany coffin, an even more strange scene happened—the coffin was restored to its original state. ”
For two nights this weekend, the security guards were afraid to approach - after the wee hours of the morning, the shadow of a woman could still be seen shaking in the room, and there were no other strange things except for the traces of some artifacts being moved.
"Professor Gu, there's nothing unusual about this coffin during the day, right?"
"Nope! Otherwise, we wouldn't dare stay here! I invited you to come this time just to let you see ......"
He didn't say the rest of the words, and I knew how painful it was for an atheist who had been dealing with ancient tomb artifacts all his life to suddenly be forced to admit that there were ghosts and gods in the world.
I took out the mahogany compass - Professor Gu looked at the compass in my hand, and his eyes were straight......
The silver needle on the compass swung a few times, and then pointed to the mahogany coffin.
Could it be that the soul of the main owner in the coffin is still around the corpse? There is only one possibility that this situation may occur, and that is that the deceased has a long-cherished wish that has not been fulfilled, or that there is an unfulfilled mission.
