Chapter 31 Exploration
After going out, I realized why the driver's face was not good-looking, this road is not a parking road built at the expense of the government, but a dirt road in the township, uneven.
At its narrowest point, it's probably only slightly wider than the body, just enough for a farm vehicle.
On one side of the road is a steep mountain wall, while on the other side is an abyss.
But this is not the most terrifying, the terrible thing is that out of a dozen turns, at least two or three of them can't turn at one time, and they have to stop and play a reverse gear before they can turn.
It's a little better during the day, but if it's night, the technique is a little worse or a little careless, and the car is a little faster, and the car will definitely rush down the mountain.
The driver carefully kept the speed below 30 km/h, and it took us nearly an hour just for this slope.
"Who built this road?" I couldn't help but complain.
But Master Cao has been calculating something.
When we arrived at the project department, it was already completely dark, and Boss Xie was waiting for us to eat.
His eager gaze was almost obvious to anyone, but Master Cao's answer was destined to disappoint him.
"Things are complicated here, and you can't figure out what it is doing without ten days and half a month. Boss Xie, human life is at stake, you should prepare for a long-term shutdown. ”
Boss Xie was in a very bad mood, but there was no way, but fortunately, nothing happened after a few days, and the little foreman and the workers were not so afraid.
Early the next morning, Master Cao took me up the mountain again to see the tomb that we had first dug up.
The traces of the explosives and the marks left by the three coffins inside are still there, and even the position where the workers dragged out the cotton wool wrapped in the corpses can still be seen. The corpse fluid seemed to have seeped into the stone and turned into a permanent mark. If it weren't for the fact that I was able to open the Heavenly Eye now and make sure that there was nothing wrong with my surroundings, I really wouldn't have had the courage to go through the crack to that tomb with Master Cao.
"Nothing." Master Cao seemed to be surprised and a little puzzled when he saw such a situation. "This is not a tomb." Then he said.
Master Cao told me that in general tombs, especially in joint burials, there will be some decorations or burial objects, and most archaeological experts rely on these things to judge the identity of the tomb owner, life age and other information.
But this ancient tomb is so "clean" that people are a little helpless.
There are no tombstones, no epitaphs, no burial objects, no utensils or objects, not even a little decoration or carving, and no judgment.
But just from the thick triad soil and the outer layer of soil, there is no way to draw any conclusions.
"Do you remember the coffin and the corpse in it?" Master Cao asked me again and again for details, but at that time, I didn't look inside carefully because I was afraid, and I couldn't say anything.
"This has to ask Gao Yao and Zhang Minxiang, they looked inside with a flashlight at the time." That's all I can say.
"Lu Lou said that how many pieces of jade were found from the corpse at that time? What does it probably look like? ”
I still can't answer this, I just remember that Lao Wan wiped it clean and looked at the sun for a while, it was very green, but he immediately hid it on himself.
As for the jade found in the other two coffins later, no one saw it at all, and it was not known who took it.
"Jade also has many uses." Master Cao said regretfully. "Of course, the general use is to avoid evil and avoid evil, nourish and calm the soul, but there are also some jade that is used to seal the injustice and suppress the sneaky. If you find this kind of jade, then you have to pay attention to it. ”
He took out his camera and took a lot of pictures inside the tomb and several more outside, especially the soil layers.
"Maybe geologists can tell the age based on the soil layer." He said this to me.
Then he picked up a few pieces of Sanhe soil from the ground, put them in a small plastic bag and put them in the bag.
Then I took him to Zhang Laogen's hut.
It's still the way we went last time, Boss Xie's gifts and notes are still on the table, and no one has touched them at all.
I showed him only the wood carving, and after studying it carefully, he took several pictures over and over again.
This is followed by a detailed examination.
Master Cao was much more serious than I was, and of course because he was bolder, he found a few pieces of yellow paper full of strange words, and some homemade rosin.
"Maybe that's what he burned." Master Cao said.
It seemed to me that the strange patterns on the yellow paper were meaningless, but Master Cao took them down seriously.
"It's a secret word." He told me. In fact, Taoist mantras and mantras are also a kind of secret language, and the ancients believed that through these words, they could communicate with ghosts, spirits, and spirits, and let them be used for themselves. There are not many that have been handed down now, and according to Lu Lou, it is likely that this old man has some secret words that can communicate with the giant insect and the evil in that tomb. ”
I remembered the strange words he pronounced that night when he saved our lives, but sadly, I can't remember them at all.
"Shall we go?" Seeing that he was almost done, I stood up.
"Did you notice?" Master Cao asked suddenly.
"What?"
"Although this house is ventilated everywhere, there is no sign of insect and mouse activity at all?"
When he said this, I realized that it was always easy to see spiders, ants, moths and other insects in our shack on the mountain, but Zhang Laogen's hut, although simple, did not show the slightest trace of the activity of these things.
"The place he chose has good feng shui." Master Cao stood outside the room and looked around. "This Zhang Laogen is really not an ordinary person!"
On the third day, the two of us once again followed the road we had traveled before to find traces of Zhang Laogen, but this time there were no new traces, and even the previous things were blown away by the wind, leaving only a few bare incense sticks.
I opened the Heavenly Eye, and the evil qi gathered in these two mountains, but it was not strong, and it was difficult to say what the reason was.
Did Zhang Laogen seal them inside? Or are they meant to be like this?
Is it really because we destroyed their habitat that they retaliated?
We didn't dare to move around here too much, Master Cao just used the compass to look at the azimuth magnetic field, and took a lot of photos to record the surrounding situation, and then went down the mountain.
Then we went to the place where it was attacked.
I can still feel the yin aura when I stand there during the day, and the evil aura here has completely dissipated, but what happened still makes my heart palpitate.
"It's really dangerous." Master Cao said.
During the day, we could see a new piece of exposed earth about 200 meters above the mountain, from which the stones that fell on our heads that night must have been taken down.
"It's your fate if you don't die." Master Cao said.
As usual, he checked around and took pictures, but because I said there was no evil here, he stayed a little longer.
"If there's really no way, maybe we can only open this place." He said this as a result, marking the place in red on the map.
