Chapter Twenty-Six: The "Ancient" Zheng
Hearing the old man say this, my heart beat even more, after all, my hidden profession is an exorcist, and when I hear this kind of thing, I can't help but think of ghosts. So I hurriedly said goodbye to the old man and said: "Then I'll go up and have a look, my teacher is ...... her" Unexpectedly, the old man interrupted me and said: "She is not on top, she is the first to be pulled away by the ambulance." ”
I ignored the old man and headed straight for the piano room. It is impossible that no one can see why only those who play the guzheng get sick? There's got to be something strange here!
Pushing open the door of the piano room, I bumped into a girl head-on, and I asked, "Classmate, is there anyone else in the guzheng piano room?" The girl looked at me and said, "I'm the one who plays the zither, what's the matter with you?" I didn't know this person, but I thought it should be a freshman, so I asked, "Oh, it's my sister, I'm your brother, what about the others?" The girl looked at me with suspicion and said, "Senior brother? I haven't seen you......" I shook my head helplessly, "My name is Shi Yan, Murong Shi Yan." "I need to explain here, in fact, Shi Yan is just my name, and my surname is actually Murong. In fact, the name on my ID card is Murong Shiyan, but the big guys think my name is too long, so they call me Shiyan directly. But because the name is so special, there are few people in the department who don't know my name.
After I reported to my home, I saw this junior sister's eyes light up. "Hey, it seems to be true, it's ...... than in the photo" I didn't bother to listen to her nonsense, so I interrupted her and said, "What about the others?" I heard everyone is sick? What the hell is going on? She was frightened by my eagerness, and stammered a little, "Now, now it's just me and another person, and the other people and the seniors have also been picked up by ambulance." I felt a chill in my heart, and I picked up the junior sister and went straight to the piano room. She snorted softly at my tugging, but she didn't break free, but followed me towards the piano room. As I walked, I asked, "The first one to fall ill was the teacher, right?" She let out an "um" and didn't answer, apparently not knowing what I was meant. I asked again, "When did the teacher fall ill?" "Last week, I wasn't there that day, so I don't know the exact situation." She replied.
With that, we were in front of the piano room. To be on the safe side, I still secretly opened my spiritual eyes and peeked inside, although the spiritual eyes can only look at qi, and ghosts can only see black qi, but it is better than two eyes with a black look. But the strange thing is that from the spiritual eye, the entire guzheng room is very clean, and there is no trace of dirt. I glanced back at the junior sister behind me, and she looked at me as well, then took out the key and opened the door to the piano room. Pushing the door in, I stood in the doorway and looked around, but still didn't notice anything unusual. "Could it be that I'm wrong?" I said to myself. The senior sister behind me saw that I was fascinated, so she asked, "Senior Brother Shiyan, what the hell is ......" I was woken up by her words and hurriedly turned my head. I saw her blushing and asking, "Senior brother, what are you doing here?" Everyone else in the department said that we were playing the guzheng and what we were hit, isn't it true? Now it's just me and another classmate, will we ...... too" Her voice became smaller and smaller, obviously without anything to say, but at this time I didn't have the heart to wonder if I had done something misleading, and hurriedly asked: "Was there anything wrong with everyone before they got sick?" ”
I saw her shake her head, and I said in my heart? How can it be? However, when I heard her say, "I don't know ...... either," I was speechless for a while, and then asked, "What happened in the school recently?" Then she said, "It's nothing special, it's just that the school is about to expand, and the construction started last week." Nothing else. "I thought to myself, this is also a thing? Then I shook my head and prepared to walk out, but the moment I turned around, I seemed to see something. I hurriedly went back to look for it, but I didn't find anything, and at this time I was already secretly beating a drum in my heart, and it seemed that this matter was getting more and more strange. I carefully looked around the room again, and it was exactly the same as before I left school, with rows of zheng, and on the podium was the position of our teacher Yang Na, and there was also a zheng......
"Huh?" Seeing Lao Yang's zither, his heart suddenly moved. I hurried to the podium and sat down in front of the kite. One, two, three...... A baker's dozen! No way! This is not Lao Yang's zither at all, and I can see that this zither is not the same as Lao Yang's original one! This zither has only thirteen strings, this is an ancient zither! At the same time, I also found a little bit of cooked soil on the board of this zheng, what does this mean? This means that this thing was dug out of the ground! I raised my hand and plucked the strings, and with the vibration of the strings, a stream of yin qi evaporated from the zither!
I remembered what the junior sister had just said about the expansion of the school. Could it be that this thing was dug up by construction? Thinking of this, I stood up at once. The junior sister next to me was taken aback by my sudden surprise, and I hurriedly turned my head and asked, "You just said that the school was expanded, so was this zither dug out of the construction site?" But she shook her head and said, "I don't know." "I don't know if I ask three questions, don't you want my own life? But I can't care so much at this time, if this thirteen-string zither is really dug out of there, it will be broken! The zither is clearly loaded with new zither strings, that is to say, it was installed by Lao Yang, if this is the case, Lao Yang must have played the zither at the beginning, and then everyone fell ill, which must be the direct reason! So I hurriedly rushed to the pipa room and asked their teacher about the origin of this zither, and the answer was that when the construction and expansion started last week, a wooden board was dug up in the construction site, and the archaeology professor in the school happened to be present at the time, so he immediately asked someone to take the wooden board out of the construction site, and after cleaning it, it was found that it was a zither of unknown age, so the zither was handed over to Yang Na to identify the specific age.
After learning about this situation, I walked out of the piano room and said to the junior sister, "Which hospital are they in now, take me there?" ”
I didn't say anything all the way, and when I arrived at the hospital, I learned that all the people were placed in isolation wards, and all of them had the same symptoms - difficulty breathing, unconscious. At this time, the isolation ward of the hospital was full of people, apparently all of whom were family members of the patients. I opened my spiritual eyes and looked through the windows of each ward, and when I saw it, I suddenly felt cold all over my body! I saw that all the people were wrapped in a layer of strong yin qi!
Yin Qi enters the body, no wonder everyone is unconscious. It seems that I guessed correctly, this must be the construction team dug up the zither from the soil during the construction, and now I think that the place is probably an ancient tomb of unknown age! Ancient tombs are actually very common, but no one can detect them without iconic tomb bags, and the archaeology professor at that time must have seen the clues at a glance, otherwise it would not have been so coincidental that the professor was at the scene when the zither was unearthed. And Lao Yang is the guzheng teacher of this school, and this zither came to her as a matter of course, and then she put the zither on the string with her hands......
Thinking of this, I already knew it in my heart, and then took out the "spirit gourd" that my father had passed to me from my personal pocket......
