Chapter 19: The Fallen Dragon Pit

On August 8, 1934, a corpse similar to the legendary dragon pole was found in Yingkou, and nearby residents had seen and touched its living body before. At that time, the puppet Yingkou No. 6 Police Station transported his bones to the open space near the West Customs Wharf for several days, and there was an endless stream of visitors. At that time, the "Shengjing Times" also sent people to interview, calling it "dragon", "dragon falling from the sky", "Yingchuan falling dragon", "giant dragon", etc., and at the same time, it was also accompanied by photos, illustrated and illustrated, which was a sensation.

My name is Wang Zhen, and I am a tomb robber who digs graves and digs coffins when he has nothing to do. If there is one of the most amazing stories in my tomb robbery story, it is the Yingkou Dragon Pit incident ten years ago.

In the 21st century, it is already an era of bright lights, and no one will deliberately pay attention to any inconspicuous people or things, especially what tomb robbers and tomb robbers have to do.

I stayed in the antique shop every day, living a life of "not opening for half a year, opening for half a year", and my father was strict at that time and did not let me go to the tomb robbery. So I'm in a state of washing my hands in half a golden basin, flipping through books and drinking tea when I have nothing to do.

When I received a fax from a mysterious person, I was even more convinced of the dragon's existence. Attached to the fax is a photograph of a huge skull, like a cow and a sheep, with two long horns and a grinning mouth with sharp teeth, like the legendary Chinese mythical beast, the dragon.

I dialed back according to the fax address, and it was connected, and the other party was a male voice, judging from the sound quality, it is estimated that he is also sixty or seventy years old, and it sounds a kind of low.

Before he could speak, I immediately asked, "Who are you?"

The other party was silent for a few seconds, like a sock stuffed in his mouth, and said a little vaguely: "The shopkeeper Wang is really guarded, you should have seen the photos faxed to you, and the reason why I sent it to you is because the old man seems to be looking for you to talk about a business."

I was surprised, I rarely go out on weekdays, I almost just stay at home, and I don't have many friends outside, how can he know my name?

"What are you looking for me to do?"

"It's not about doing big things, it's about doing what you know best, what is your jargon called, yes, fighting."

As soon as he said this, I was scared out of my head of melon seed sweat, this guy even knew my details, my first reaction was that he was a policeman and wanted to pull me to squat.

"What are you fighting backwards and about, I don't know what you're talking about." After that, I was about to put down the phone, and I listened to the other end of the phone and said, "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your old man?"

I was stunned for a moment, then raised the microphone and said with a smile: "My grandfather traveled to the west more than ten years ago, and your deceptive methods are too clumsy."

"Is disappearance the same as death? Does what your father says to you necessarily be true? I think Comrade Wang Changsheng is still alive. ”

I was speechless in surprise when I heard it, Wang Changsheng is my grandfather's name.

Damn, even my grandfather disappeared ten years ago, and I know how well he knows my bottom line!

"Who the hell are you?"

"I am the head of the Beijing Cultural Heritage Bureau. The one you see is a photo taken by Mr. Smith, a British professor visiting China, which is our internal archive. After a pause, he continued, "Professor Smith is now in a psychiatric hospital in Beijing, and no one expected such a thing to happen before he insisted on entering the Yingkou Fallen Dragon Pit, and three days after he entered, people found him in the bushes not far away, and he was already delirious, full of nonsense, and clutching a camera with both hands. Later, the picture in the camera was washed out, which is the one you see. At that time, both the higher-ups and the local government strongly demanded that all news about this be blocked, but I felt that it was necessary to tell you about it. ”

"Why?"

"When Professor Stephen entered the Dragon Pit at Yingkou, he brought a group of people, including the old man of your family, but in the end, except for Stephen himself, everyone was not heard from."

"How can I be sure that what you say is true?"

"Shopkeeper Wang, talking about business is about harmony and trust, I don't have to lie to you, if my information is accurate, you still owe a lot of debt, if you can help me successfully bring back the keel in the dragon pit, even if it is the size of a little thumb, we will help you pay off the debt you owe. Before that, I had already put 300,000 in your bank card, if you don't mind. Please laugh at it. ”

After speaking, the phone was hung up.

I put down the microphone in my hand with a glazed look in my eyes, knowing that every part of my body was exposed. I don't know what to do next.

"Liuzi, what do you think?"

Liuzi is my personal buddy, no father and no mother, I saw that he had learned one and a half tricks from an old artist who had inverted the bucket before, so he worked in the store with him.

"Shopkeeper, I heard the older generation of people say, the dragon is an auspicious thing, the clouds and fog are omnipotent, but there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, if the dragon violates the rules of heaven, it will also be demoted to the mortal world, become a fallen dragon, then the meaning of the fallen dragon is not very different, they are angry in their hearts, and can not enter the way of reincarnation, the anger on the body has turned into evil energy, and the land touched has become a fierce place, so the fallen dragon pit at the entrance of this camp is not ordinary people who want to enter and want to go out. The people of this cultural relics bureau are sufficient, and they don't dare to enter easily, obviously they want to step on the thunder for us! ”

"Then what can we do, if the old man is still alive, we must find out, we must see people in life, and corpses in death!"

I told my father, and it was the first time he had acquiesced in my grave robbery, and he told me that I could take any of the men in the house who could move them, and he didn't say anything more.

I dialed the fat man's phone, and when the fat man learned about it, he immediately decided to go with me to the Yingkou Dragon Pit.
