Chapter 16: The Accumulation of Corpses
We followed the previously agreed route and advanced another two kilometres to the southeast, to a mountain pass. At this moment, Uncle Dao had a compass in his hand, looked left and right, and then pointed to the east side of the mountain col: "Twelve o'clock direction, halfway up the ginkgo forest." ”
Although this hill is not high, it is a barren mountain that is inaccessible to people, and the rocks on the mountain are very difficult to walk, and I followed the fat bear, and the guy was already sweating profusely by now, and his fat body was shaking. I was afraid that he would fall unsteadily and weigh on me, so I kept holding a branch against his waist, and even if he did fall, there would be a buffer.
Who knew that the fat bear was very unhappy when he saw my actions, saying that this mountainous area had been occupied by Japanese devils during the defense of Nanjing, and I looked like the Japanese devils had taken prisoners into the mountains with guns to repair fortifications, which was very unlucky.
As soon as I heard the fire, my heart said that you are scolding me with this analogy, and remembered that this guy had cheated me of 100,000 yuan, and suddenly he was even more angry, and immediately poked the branch forward, and the fat bear screamed, and he was about to slap me when he returned his hand. I was about to dodge, but I found that he had been stopped by Uncle Dao.
Uncle Dao patted the fat bear, calmed his anger a little, and then asked, "Mr. Fat, what did you say just now?" During the Battle of Nanjing, Japanese soldiers escorted prisoners into this mountain to build fortifications? ”
Fat Bear glared at me and nodded: "Fat master, can such a learned person as me still lie to you?" If you have time, go to the historical archives to see the historical materials and improve your self-cultivation. ”
He also deliberately glanced at me when he said the last sentence, meaning that I was not cultivated. Uncle Dao's brows immediately furrowed: "This Zanglong Mountain is far away from the hinterland of Nanjing, and it is not a strategic place, if they came here to build fortifications, if it is not to hoard arms, then it is ......."
"Could it be that they were also looking for the secret tomb that hid the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" Wei Xuzhi on the side said.
"So will they have emptied the contents of it?" Wei Yin said worriedly.
Uncle Dao shook his head and sighed, then I remembered that the Japanese at the auction also came for the picture painted by Li Daoyuan in the tomb, which means that they should also know the secret of the hidden tomb of Zanglong Mountain, what kind of relationship do they have with the Japanese army during the war of aggression against China?
At this time, the fat bear made a gesture to stop and said impatiently: "You still want to get rich by grinding like this?" Don't you know if there is any goods to go down? ”
I was immediately unhappy, and said in righteous words that we were not for money, but for ...... The fat bear stopped again and again, and said with a contemptuous face that I was hypocritical, and when the time came, I was afraid that the golden mountains and silver seas would be tempted by the saints, and when the fat bear said this, I was also a little drumming in my heart, and I had been shouting what was to uncover the secrets of the family, but in fact, one of the most secret strings in my heart may have been quietly plucked by the temptation of wealth from the beginning.
After all, I'm just a mortal who has to pay rent and pay off the loan.
Look at Zheng Tian again, his family is so rich, didn't he come here to get more wealth? And the father and daughter of the Wei family, are they really just trying to fulfill the wishes of Master Wei and Mrs. Wei for so many years?
Judging from the records in the grandfather's letter, they should not have entered from the entrance of the main entrance of the tomb, but used explosives to blow up a certain passage to the ear chamber, but from today's situation, the entrance that was blown up at the beginning has long been gone, and it is estimated that the entrance was sealed by a landslide or some other reason.
The ancient tombs were built according to the feng shui pattern, and most of them could not escape the eyes of Mr. Feng Shui, but at present, this tomb of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is biased and goes the opposite way in the layout of feng shui, so it is difficult to touch the real hole.
Searching for the dragon is a technical job, and I've read some books about it. But it's okay to brag on paper, but when it comes to actual combat, you can basically only fight for character, Uncle Dao, the old Jianghu, is different, professionalism, high and low.
When he walked near a gentle slope, Uncle Dao suddenly stopped. I happily asked, "Found it?" Uncle Dao shook his head, and pointed to a pit under the gentle slope with an ugly expression, and said, "Did you also encounter these things when you first came?" ”
I stepped forward suspiciously, looked at the pit that Uncle Dao pointed to, and my stomach suddenly rolled: There is a place where corpses are accumulated! It was littered with the remains of various animal carcasses, large and small, most of which had rotted and emitted a foul smell.
I immediately took a few steps back, covered my nose and nodded. Zheng Tian stepped forward and glanced at him and suddenly said in fear: "Damn, will there be ghost stings in these corpses?" That's when I remembered the first time I had met the stingers: they had been torn out of the wreckage.
Everyone became nervous in an instant, and I saw that the fat bear had already taken out the jet pipe and began to spray in, and then Uncle Dao said quietly: "That's it." ”
That's it? Could it be that the tomb ** is under this pile of corpses? If that's the case, then wouldn't it be necessary to remove the rotting wreckage one by one before you can get in! I think it's disgusting just to smell the rotting corpses, and if you jump down and push those corpses away one by one, you won't be disgusted and faint?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Wei Yin, who was looking down, shout.
When we asked her what she had found, she pointed to the corner of the place with a frightened look on her face and said, "There...... It seems to be a person. ”
I immediately looked in the direction of Wei Yin's finger, and sure enough, a twisted human hand stretched out in a corner covered with cattle and sheep carcasses.
We immediately found a long branch, vigorously removed the carcass of the cow and sheep that covered the owner of the hand, and finally found the corpse of a male with a hideous face and a highly decomposed body.
I stared at the corpse's face, patted Zheng Tian's shoulder and said, "Do you think this person is a little familiar?" ”
Zheng Tian also squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and shouted suddenly: "This guy is not the one we saw when we first went up the mountain...... The man who was bitten to death by his girlfriend? ”
The rest of the people didn't quite understand when they heard this, so I told me in detail about the horrible woman I met on the mountain for the first time, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Why is the man's body here? Could it be that the mysterious people who imprisoned us moved here? And where did the female ghost end up? A series of questions followed, and when I thought about it carefully, it seemed that all the experiences I had experienced on the first ascent had made some kind of plausible foreshadowing for this ascent, which made me feel that there was a subtle connection between the two.
At this time, Uncle Dao interrupted my thoughts: "Don't care about anything else, our top priority is to find the entrance." I observed that although the tomb door had been filled with corpses, we could dig or find a hole around it. ”
"Looking for a thief hole? Could it be that someone has already gone in? I asked.
Uncle Dao said that it was difficult to say, and he would only know if he tried it. Then he leaned down and patted the ground, then pinched a little crumbs, pointed them on the tip of his tongue, smiled slightly, and signaled that there was a play in this place.
Then I saw that he drew a circle in the place where he leaned over just now, and after he finished drawing, he turned around and shouted: "Xiao Qi, guy!" ”
Brother Qi came in response, put down his backpack and prepared to start work, but just as he was about to take out the tools inside, I heard a sudden rush of footsteps behind me.
We were immediately alarmed, who else would be here at this time? Uncle Dao immediately motioned to Brother Qi to stop, and everyone looked nervously in the direction of the sound. Soon, a man in blue overalls with a flashlight appeared in the depths of the woods.
At this time, Uncle Dao asked in a low voice whether Wei Xuzhi was a forest ranger sent by the Forestry Bureau, and Wei Xuzhi stared at the person for a while and was not sure.
"I'm from the Forestry Bureau, what are you doing here?" When someone walked up to us, he shook his flashlight at us and asked.
Hearing that it was from the Forestry Bureau, Wei Xuzhi's expression relaxed a lot, he stepped forward, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, saying: "The comrades of the Forestry Bureau have worked hard, I am Wei Xuzhi, the director of the Zanglongshan Mental Hospital, and your Director Wang is a very good friend. ”
As soon as Wei Xuzhi finished speaking, the person who came nodded and told us to pay attention to safety, and then left.
The fat bear smiled and stretched out a thumbs up to Wei Xuzhi: "Brother is awesome, it really has a relationship and is easy to do." ”
So easy to send away? I don't know why I always feel too smooth, even a little strange, but then I think I'm afraid it's because I've experienced a lot of strange things lately, and my nerves are sensitive.
After the man walked away, Brother Qi pulled open his backpack, took out two folding sapper shovels from it, opened one by himself and handed one to Uncle Dao, and the two shovels flew up and down at that moment.
I also took out the shovel I had prepared earlier and asked Uncle if I wanted to help, and Uncle Dao actually said that I was not in the way and I was helping, which made me quite faceless.
Seeing that I was panicked, Brother Qi smiled and patted me on the shoulder, saying that Uncle was actually afraid that I would be affected, and it was better for them to do this kind of dirty work. I thought to myself that Brother Qi is more able to speak, unlike Uncle Dao, who will only harm me all day long, and I don't understand the importance of encouraging education for younger generations by the elders at all.
After digging two or three meters deep, the seventh brother suddenly shouted: "Master Dao, there are broken bricks and tiles." ”
Uncle Dao immediately leaned over and picked it up, pinched it in his hand, and looked at it: "It's an antiquity, there is a play, and then dig it." ”
Under normal circumstances, it takes another seven or eight meters to dig under the monument to almost open the tomb, so the two are ready to fight continuously, but the strange thing is that the two have just gone down and have not had a few shovels, and the bottom seems to be empty.
Uncle Dao's face suddenly became nervous, and I realized that someone had already dug a thief hole and entered it, and it shouldn't be my grandfather's batch from the point of view.
