Chapter 22: The Bottomless Abyss
It was noon, and the pond was still in full swing, the brick floor was getting bigger and bigger, and the pond was piled up with silt like a mountain. The bun urged the eyes of the sky, and I saw the black gas surging under the gold bricks, sometimes rotating in a circle, sometimes running into a snake, which was the nine-clawed yin jiao circling. Perhaps it was anxiously waiting for the moment, waiting for the yang energy to fall and the crowd to gather more and more to attack.
Baozi rushed into the crowd and told everyone that this brick wall is a Gu wall, a place where hundreds of millions of insect eggs gather, so that everyone must not touch it. But who would listen to a child? Even if there are smart people, in front of the shining pure gold bricks, who can not blind their minds? Some people threw a shovel to the buns, dropped a sentence "I want to dig it myself", and some people stopped it and said, "Why!" This was discovered in our village, and a piece cannot be outflowed! ”
Baozi sat in the mud dejectedly, watching the crazy crowd do stupid things, trying to find a way to save them. Huang Xian sighed, "People die for money, birds die for food, the way of heaven is constant, what can you change?" ”
"It's a hole again!" People cheered, piling machines and cutters cut along the brick joints, and in a short time, a square brick wall was cut alive. A cold air rushed out below, and it was said that Shunzi broke the Gu wall a few days ago, and the water should have filled the hole, but at a glance, not only was there no water below, but it was also dry and very cold. Beneath the dark entrance of the cave seems to be an endless abyss. With such a big pit, the water in the pond should have leaked a long time ago, how could the water level be maintained for so many days? A stomach problem plagued the bun and made him anxious.
It's still important to save people, Baozi is unwilling, persuading and dragging one by one, people don't pay attention to this little hairy child walking in the crowd at all. Baozi found that as the sun went down, the underground qi gathered more and more, and it rotated faster and faster. At this time, the cabbage flower pounced on the crowd "Buns, buns, no!" Baozi raised his eyes and looked at the cabbage flower, and asked in a low voice, "It's all dead, aren't they?" ”
Cabbage Flower nodded, and Baozi sighed, "I finally understand that this most ferocious Gu is not forced to go up, nor is it poisoned to kill people, but to take advantage of people's weaknesses and make people obedient." ”
Cabbage Flower anxiously asked, "What should I do?" The yin qi under his feet became heavier and heavier, and Baozi faintly heard the rumbling sound under the Gu wall, like an earthquake, from far and near, rushing to "Yin Jiao is coming".
The setting sun reflects the sunset on the horizon, reflecting on the greedy and cheerful faces of the people. With the last rays of light gone, the end of the people is coming. But everyone has no intention of leaving. In fact, even if they left, the Gu bricks they took away would not allow them to live for a few more days. Bunzi was desperate, he drew the sword of victory and evil, and tightened his grip on the dragon's head, ready to fight the nine claws.
"Smack!" A gunshot rang out, and the people all stopped, their eyes looking in one direction in dismay. There was a person standing on the edge of the pit, and it was Liu Daguang. Liu Daguang was surrounded by four policemen armed with long and short guns, and several public security figures were busy in the distance, and the 212 jeep was equipped with improvised strobe lights for the first time. Liu Daguang still looked like a hanger, "Hey! I got a call to say that you have dug up an ancient tomb here. The ancient tomb and its contents are state property, and your destruction, theft, possession, and sale are all illegal and criminal acts, do you know? Still moving! What about you, it's not good to talk at the police station, right? ”
Baozi felt that the mysterious power that was gradually approaching under his feet also stopped, and seemed to be waiting.
"Put what you got here" Liu Daguang pointed to the edge of the pond, if you dare to take away a thing in the pond, I will dare to take you away!
People went ashore in twos and threes, and they could be convinced, but who dared to provoke the police in the 80s, everyone scolded in their hearts, but there was really no one who dared to directly contradict it. One by one, the people collected the machines, set up the wagons, and went home listlessly. They don't know, and almost never yet, that the one who saved their lives was Liu Daguang, who was a hanger.
Liu Daguang walked up to Baozi, dug his nose and said, "Boy, my old Liu is a materialist, at least before I saw the ghost wall you talked about." ”
Baozi's eyes showed brilliance, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Daguang signaled not to squeak, and said loudly, "I asked my superiors for instructions, the provincial cultural relics and archaeology team is archaeology in Changbai Mountain, and there is no one to distinguish, so the public security organs need to stay here for a few days, and leave the peripheral affairs to me in the future." Inside... No one is allowed to enter! Chickens and ducks can't do it! Liu Daguang looked at the bun with a little distrust, and then said in a low voice, "I don't care about the things inside" (these three words bite very hard). But when you go down, if I hear a gunshot, I will surely bring someone down to save you. Boy, you're going to really have what they say....." Liu Daguang put on the ears of the bun, and his voice became quieter, "Then use it all to save the people of this village." ”
The buns are full of blood. Liu Daguang turned to leave, and a cloth bag fell off his body, and the bun shouted, "Hey, you dropped something!" Liu Daguang ignored him, picked up the bun and opened it layer by layer, a 77-style public security pistol and a box full of bullets. As if he hadn't seen it, Liu Daguang pointed to a villager, "Hey! Say what about you! Grinding, walking, leaving the bricks off! ”
Baozi looked at Liu Daguang's distant back and whispered, "Thank you!" ”
With the intervention of the police station, it is much easier. The scene was covered with woven bags inside and out, and the Gu bricks dug up were not bad at the edge of the pond. Under the banner of protecting archaeology, more than a dozen police officers and auxiliary police officers implemented traffic control, closely guarding the surrounding area of the village, and no one was allowed to come within 100 meters. Baozi distributed a large package of antidote medicine made by his grandmother to the police on duty, telling them to take it with boiling water three times a day to prevent Gu poison from getting on their bodies, and let every family take it for three days. Liu Daguang nodded, turned around and said to his colleagues, "Hear it, if you don't obey, you will be very forceful!" At the same time, a two-meter-high stack of firewood and straw was piled up on the Dakeng ring road, and some gasoline was prepared, and Baozi asked Liu Daguang to borrow two flamethrowers from the militia company, one of which he carried on his back and the other to Liu Daguang. If the situation gets out of hand, turn it into a sea of fire immediately. Liu Daguang answered one by one, "What about you, boy?" ”
Baozi didn't answer, packed his bags, and led the cabbage flower and Uncle Ershen into the center scene. On the hill in the distance, Grandma stood alone, watching Baozi and her favorite granddaughter, her forehead fluttering, and she looked even older. Baozi looked around the pond to check the Gu wall, this Gu wall was quite complete, including the hole that was broken four days ago, a total of four big holes were broken, and the remnants of the dug up were piled up in one place. Baozi and Cabbage Flower packed up their gear and set up scaffolding at the entrance of the largest hole that the villagers had made.
The hole is not bottomless, because the light is too poor, you can't see the wall at the edge of the hole, you only feel that the air under the hole is smooth, the air flow is rolling, the wind is not small, there seems to be a horizontal pipe and the distance is connected, this is by no means a place to hide the wind like the ancient tomb. Baozi tied the rope to the root of his legs, carried the sword of victory and flamethrower, as well as food and water from a military satchel, and the cabbage flower carried the fuel, and Uncle Nigami slowly shook the rope and slowly lowered the two of them. The hole above his head became smaller and smaller, and the light became dimmer and dimmer, and the hole gradually turned into a white glowing dot, slowly shrinking into a star in the dark night. Cabbage Flower picked up a flashlight and shone it around, and on all sides was a smooth and neat stone wall made of cement, which seemed to be a modern building.
The two of them saw that the rope was sent out for more than 20 meters, but their feet were still empty, and they couldn't help but shudder. If they could see the bottom, they would be descending from the top of a skyscraper. After feeling that it had descended more than fifty meters, Baozi felt that trouble was coming, because the rope was prepared for sixty meters. If you don't finish it all the time, I'm afraid you can only pull it up and prepare a longer rope, which will undoubtedly delay another day. Once the so-called archaeological team arrived, he would no longer be able to approach the Five Ghost Hanging Gate.
