Chapter 083: Blood Styx Smallpox
Don't talk about them, I'm scared myself.
This camphor tree used to look basically the same as a normal tree. But when its roots are torn off, it bleeds?
"Stop! Stop it!! "I don't know who is shouting.
After all the excavators stopped, the timid people had already run away and stood far away. The bolder ones cowered and looked at the severed roots.
"What's going on? How can the roots of a tree bleed? Chu Feng also got off the excavator, and he walked up to my side and asked me.
Although I was also timid, I knew that at this time, I had to give an answer.
And to find out what's going on, I'll have to go up and see what's going on.
I didn't answer Chu Lao's question, but settled down, and then slowly walked towards the big tree.
"Human blood!!" When I got closer, I screamed in shock.
That's right, human blood flowed from the broken roots, I'm 100% sure of that.
"That blood is human blood??" Chu Feng didn't know when he walked behind me and asked me softly.
"Hmm!" I answered.
"How can there be human blood? Could it be that this tree is a man-eating tree? Chu Feng said to me.
I don't know how to answer his question. Because that's what I'm trying to know.
I took out my compass and carefully circled the tree again.
After two turns, I cut off a piece of bark with a knife and put it in front of my nose and sniffed it.
No demonic spirits!
This is just a camphor tree, not a cannibal tree, since there is no demonic energy, it proves that this big tree has not become a sperm, and it is impossible to take the initiative to harm people.
But why is there human blood in its roots?
I walked over to the torn off and took a closer look at the root of the tree that was oozing human blood. At this time, there was no more blood coming out of the broken surface of the root. And the fracture is like a human wound, and it has begun to scab.
"Bring me an axe!" I shouted.
Chu Xiaojiang answered, and then shouted to the people behind him: "Whoever brought the axe, send one to the master!" ”
"I have!" A man answered and brought me an axe.
I took the axe he handed me and slashed down at a tree root that had been dug up.
The one I cut down was smaller, and I wanted to see if all the roots were going to bleed.
"Snort......" As soon as my axe hit, blood immediately came out.
I quickly dodged, not daring to let the blood get on my body.
Because the blood of these people is so inexplicable, who knows if it is poisonous or not!
I looked up at the tree, and saw that there was nothing unusual about it.
So, with my axe, I cut down a smaller root.
There is still blood!
It looks like all the roots have blood.
To make sure, I used a knife to separate a few tiny roots.
There was no blood oozing from the tiny roots, but some could still be seen.
So it seems that all the roots have blood in them.
I took my axe and cut it down at the tree.
If there is blood in the roots, then there must be blood in the bark of the tree.
After cutting off a few large pieces of bark, I was puzzled.
There was no blood in this great tree, and there was no blood in any part of it that had previously been exposed to the earth. Only in the roots of trees buried in the soil can there be blood.
What the fuck is going on?
"Is there a chainsaw??" I shouted to Chu Xiaojiang.
When Chu Xiaojiang heard this, he immediately asked the others.
After asking around, he replied to me, "No! We didn't know we were going to cut down trees, so we didn't prepare a chainsaw! There are two axes! ”
"Forget it!" I raised my hand, and then looked around the tree.
After looking at it, I'm pretty pretty sure there's nothing dangerous. And if we want to figure out why there is blood in the roots, we have to keep digging it down.
"That's it! Let the digging maneuver and keep digging! Leave the blood alone! Dig up the soil around the tree first, and then dig up the tree! I said to Chu Xiaojiang.
When Chu Xiaojiang heard this, he responded and immediately went to make arrangements.
The previous excavator masters, when they saw such a strange thing, many of them were reluctant to do it anymore.
But after a while, I don't know what Chu Xiaojiang told them, those masters all returned to the excavator and started working again.
When I saw that they were getting to work, I didn't bother anymore. Anyway, as long as they start working, as for what Chu Xiaojiang told them, it doesn't matter anymore.
Several excavators worked at the same time, and in less than 20 minutes, the entire tree was overturned.
Then I asked them to find a rope, tie the tree, and drag it aside with an excavator.
"That's it! Now start digging down! I said to them.
This location was originally closed to traffic, but by the time the excavator came, a barely passable road had been dug out.
Two dumping trucks were parked next to it, and the soil dug up by the excavator was quickly removed.
And you don't have to travel far! The dumping truck only needs to pour the excavated soil hundreds of meters away, so that it does not hinder the operation here. So, the degree of excavation is quite fast.
"Click!!" After about two hours, an excavator dug down and hit a hard stone.
"I think I've dug up the tomb!" I let out a low cry and ran over.
That's right, it's the tomb!
What can be seen now are one or two pieces of bluestone.
At a glance, you can see that this bluestone is not natural, but artificially cut.
"Keep digging, don't dig these stones, dig along the edge of the stones, and expose these stones!!" I shouted to several excavator masters.
They nodded to me one by one, indicating that they understood what I meant.
"There really is a burial chamber!" Chu Feng also saw those bluestones.
I looked at him and said, "Am I going to be wrong!!" ”
"Cut! Then why did you make a mistake before, we have to dig all the way! Chu Feng said to me unconvinced.
I didn't say anything when I heard him.
Whatever the reason, I was really wrong about the previous position, and there is nothing to argue about.
Chu Feng saw that I didn't speak, and he didn't continue to blame me. He beckoned to Chu Xiaojiang, and after Chu Xiaojiang came over, he said, "Go and notify the relevant departments and ask them to send someone over immediately!" ”
Hearing his words, I quickly stopped him and said, "Old man! Wait a minute! ”
When Chu Feng heard this, he glanced at me and said, "What's wrong?" This is an ancient tomb, do you think we are really tomb robbers? Of course, this kind of thing has to be handled by the state!! ”
"No, it's not! I didn't mean that. I don't want to take this tomb for myself! I quickly waved my hand and said.
"What do you mean!?" When Chu Feng heard my words, his complexion immediately softened a lot.
"I mean, it's okay to notify the relevant authorities! But it's best not to let any archaeological team come or anything. There should be a big problem with this tomb, and when they come, they will only cause trouble. So, I think it's better to get the police involved first and let them help control the situation here. When everything is clarified and there is no danger, let the other departments get involved!! I said it slowly.
After Chu Feng heard my words, he touched his braided beard and groaned.
"Well, you're right!" He muttered for a moment and then said to me.
After he finished speaking, he immediately said to Chu Xiaojiang: "That Xiaojiang, you go and inform the armed police, let them be fully armed, bring me heavy weapons, and come here immediately!" ”
When Chu Xiaojiang heard this, he answered, and immediately walked to the side to make a call.
The excavator is always working.
Many of the bluestone blocks on the top of the burial chamber have been excavated.
Through these orderly bluestones, the size of the tomb can be basically determined.
The burial chamber is rectangular, northwest oriented, about 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, covering an area of about 600 square meters.
This tomb is not particularly large, but it is not small.
If a tomb of this scale can be built, then the identity of the owner of such a tomb can be seen.
Moreover, the shape of this tomb is somewhat strange, judging from the parts that have been excavated, all of them are built of bluestone. It looks more like an underground fortress.
At this time, the excavation progress is not as fast as before.
Before, it was all soil, but now when you dig, you have to avoid the bluestones, and clean up the surrounding soil, so that the whole tomb is completely exposed.
As time passed, Chu Xiaojiang mobilized seven or eight more excavators to join.
In addition to the more than a dozen excavators that have been added to excavate the ancient tomb, there are also machinery working on the way here, preparing to make a way to get here.
Night fell, and the entire burial chamber was not yet fully revealed.
The police personnel have arrived, and martial law has been completely placed within a radius of more than ten kilometers. All the people involved before, including me, signed a non-disclosure agreement. No one is allowed to disclose the situation to the outside world without the consent of the police.
At this time, although it was already dark, the ancient tomb area was already connected to electricity, and the surroundings were brightly illuminated, as if it were day.
Not far from the tomb, a small area has been leveled. Tents have been pitched.
Rest areas, meeting areas, headquarters and much more were set up.
The power of the state is strong, and in this short period of time, everything needed is in place.
We were also assigned to a large tent, and after a hot meal, we drank hot tea and chatted about the tomb. A loud voice shouted "report" at the door.
Then a heavily armed man dressed in camouflage walked into our tent. After he came in, he glanced at us, and then walked straight in front of Chu Lao, saluted a standard military salute, and said, "Report chief!" The Fourth Brigade of the Armed Police, Captain Fu Hai reports to you! ”
"Hmm!" Old Chu replied and asked him, "When will the entire tomb be dug up!" ”
"Chief, most of the burial chamber has now been revealed, and the rest is expected to be completed in three hours!" Fu Hai saluted again, and then replied loudly.
"Okay! Hurry! Dig up the burial chamber as soon as possible! Chu Lao nodded and said.
"Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task!" Fu Hai replied.
Chu Feng nodded again, raised his hand and pressed it gently, motioning for Fu Hai to sit down.
However, Fu Hai did not sit down, but looked a little embarrassed, and said to Chu Lao: "That...... Long ......"
"What's wrong? Just say anything! Chu Feng looked up at Fu Hai and frowned slightly.
"This ......," Fu Hai looked at me and Chu Xiaojiang and the others.
Seeing his appearance, Chu Lao coughed lightly, then stood up and said to Fu Hai: "You come out with me!" ”
"Yes!" Fu Haili replied, and then followed Chu Lao out.
I don't know what is the situation of this Fu Hai, so I need to avoid us and report to Chu Lao alone! I'm curious.
However, although I was curious, I didn't deliberately want to know.
I believe that after Chu Lao listened to his report, as long as he could let me know, he should tell me.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard Chu Lao shouting outside: "Gu Xiaochuan, you come out!" ”
"Good!" I answered, quickly put down the teacup in my hand, and walked outside the tent.
When I came to the outside of the tent, I saw that in addition to Chu Lao and Fu Hai, there were two other people.
One of them I know is the daughter of Liuya.
This woman seems to be just such a set of clothes, I have seen her a few times, and it is all this black tight leather jacket and leather pants.
When she saw me come out, she just glanced at me faintly, and then looked away.
"Old man, what's wrong?" I asked Chu Feng.
When Chu Feng heard my question, he turned his head to deal with Hai and said, "You tell him about the situation!" ”
When Fu Hai heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Chu Lao with an inquiring eye.
Seeing his appearance, Chu Lao said to him, "If I let you say it, you can say it!" ”
"Yes!" Fu Hai replied forcefully, and then said to me.
Fu Hai told me that the tomb has not yet been completely dug up. However, it is now almost confirmed that this is a tomb from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. There are many differences between this burial chamber and the ancient tombs that have now been unearthed.
Judging from the current situation, the whole tomb seems to have no entrance, like a closed fortress made of bluestone.
What's even more bizarre is that after excavation, it can now be seen that the entire burial chamber is entwined with some unusually tough roots.
And, the further down you dig, the more and denser the roots of the trees that entangle the burial chamber.
The most important thing is that the further down the roots, the tougher they become. Now the roots of the trees at the bottom are like iron and stone, and ordinary knives and axes can't cut them off.
"And such a thing?" I asked, confused.
"Yes! So I'm here to report to the chief! Fu Hai said.
After Fu Hai finished speaking, the woman in black leather interjected, and she said lightly: "I've been to see it, if I'm not mistaken, those roots don't belong to the camphor tree before." I suspect it's the root of the Bloody Styx Smallpox! ”
"Bloody Smallpox?" I asked, surprised.
Faced with my surprise, the woman in black leather looked at me and said nothing. Instead, a man next to him looked at me and replied, "We just suspected, we haven't seen that thing yet, only seen it on the data!" ”
This man was about the same age as the woman in black leather, just in her twenties. It seems that he is also a member of the Dragon Bone Camp, and he is also a master who specializes in dealing with supernatural events.
Otherwise, how could he possibly know about the Bloody Stygian Smallpox.
