Chapter Ninety-Seven: Fine Holes
Everyone looked up at the strange tank hanging in the air, and they all had a thought in their hearts: "It's a hell." ”
I said to Shirley Young, "Don't worry, I'll go up and see again, if I fall into the water again, you remember to give me artificial respiration quickly, it's too late." ”
She gave me a blank look, pointed to the militia platoon commander and said, "What do you want, if you want to do artificial respiration, I will also ask those militiamen to do it for you." ”
I said to her, "Why are you so out of sight? If you fall into the water and hold your breath, and you need to be given artificial respiration, then I am absolutely duty-bound, I ......"
Shirley Young interrupted me and said to me, "I found out that one is you, and the other is the dead fat man, who never takes life or death seriously, and is still in the mood to joke about the occasion." By the way, I ask you, what do you see up there that scares you into falling into the water? Is Professor Sun in there? ”
I have always regarded myself as bold and bold, and this question can reveal my shortcomings, how can I say that I can not lose face? I looked at the monster tank hanging in the air and told Shirley Yang and the others, "This ...... As soon as I opened the cylinder head, a string of invisible chain of deadly golden needles swished out from inside, which was really a powerful hidden weapon. This is also my skill, not in a hurry, calm and relaxed, a harrier turned over and avoided the past, replaced by others, where is there still life at this moment. ”
Shirley Yang said helplessly: "Forget it, I won't listen to you, you can blow you, I'll go up and watch it myself." With that, he twisted his long wet hair a few times and coiled it casually; He also asked the two militiamen to take a ladder and lift her to the top of the cylinder.
There was still a noise in the tank, and the militiamen began to get nervous again, afraid that something would suddenly come out of the tank. I warned them not to shoot casually, and threw a flashlight at Shirley Young underneath, telling her that there was a dead man's bone rack in the tank, so that she could be prepared not to fall from above like me.
Shirley Jan looked at it for a long time, reached for something, and jumped down from the monster tank, holding up a bracelet for us to see. The militia platoon commander and I took the jade bracelet and looked at it, even more puzzled.
I have been in business in Panjiayuan for a while, and my eyesight has grown a lot. I could tell at a glance that this jade bracelet was fake, a stall for two yuan a piece, it was worthless at all, and it was a modern thing. Could it be that the white bones in that monster vat are a woman? And she hasn't been dead for long, so how did she get into this strange tank? Was it put in after death, or was it put in and drowned alive? Burial in a coffin can be ruled out. The Chinese pay attention to entering the soil for safety, and will never soak the dead in water, and the chaotic and complicated situation in front of them really has no clue at all.
Shirley Yang said to me, "Old Hu, guess what's the noise in that jar?" ”
I said, "Is it a bone shelf?" In ancient China, there was such a thing as a white bone spirit. But that white bone spirit was wiped out by Sun Wukong many years ago, is there a new debut here? Do you want our people to suffer twice and suffer two more sins? ”
She smiled, "You really know how to associate it, it's not a white bone spirit." I could see clearly just now that there were three human bones in the jar, all of them adults; There are more than 20 round strange fish at the bottom, although they are only two or three feet long, but this kind of fish is extremely powerful, and the pool water in the tank is released, and those strange fish are fluttering in it, so there is a sound. Before we lifted the tank, we saw the chains shaking in the pool, which may have been caused by the fish fighting and swimming in the tank. ”
I said to her, "That's weird, what kind of fish are those fish?" How did they get into the closed tank? Do they eat dead people? ”
Shirley Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I've never seen such a strange fish." I guess this fish was not loaded in beforehand, and it is possible that it ...... It is possible that the fish themselves grew in the pools of this underground cave, and the dead bodies were deliberately put into a tank full of holes and sunk into the pool, and the small fish that did not grow into the tank could swim into the holes......"
I listened to her words and was surprised: "I understand what you mean." Are you saying it's fish farming with dead human flesh? When the flesh has been eaten and the fish have been fattened, it is impossible for the big fish to swim out of the holes in the walls of the tank. But what's the use of raising fish in this way? It's also too ...... It's so disgusting. ”
The militia platoon commander suddenly interjected: "No. 1 and No. 2 two leaders, I have been looking at it for a long time, I seem to have seen this bracelet somewhere, it seems to be worn by a woman in the village." She has been married for many years, and she has been in and out of different families, and only returned to her parents' house for the first time a few months ago. At that time, she wore this bracelet for us to see, and told us that she bought it in Guangdong, which was worth thousands of yuan, and the mothers-in-law and aunts in the village all looked red-eyed, and complained that their men were incapable and could not afford to buy thousands of yuan of jewelry. ”
As soon as I heard this, I was surprised, and I hurriedly asked the militia platoon commander what happened.
He said: "Then there was no follow-up, and the woman left quietly, and the villagers thought that she had had a problem with her family again and ran back to the field." Looking at this bracelet now, it is not that the woman was killed by the gangsters. ”
As we deliberated, we heard footsteps on the ramp of the crypt. I thought it was the two militiamen who were guarding outside that they didn't go back for a long time, and they didn't feel at ease, so they came down to look for us.
I was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly walked over to Professor Sun and said, "Professor, you can frighten me, I came all the way to you for a big event, and I thought you let the piranha gnaw, where did you go to play?" Why did it suddenly come out of the back? ”
Professor Sun was also a flute when he saw me, but he didn't expect me to come to him again and meet here. After listening to me briefly explain the cause and effect, I understood what was going on.
Professor Sun took a closer look at the scene in the cave and said to us, "This jar is a harmful evil art, I have seen it in Yunnan before. It seems that this matter no longer belongs to the scope of archaeological work, and we have to find the Public Security Bureau. This is not a place to speak, everyone should not destroy the scene, let's go up and talk in detail if we have anything. ”
So all the people returned the way they came, and the village chief and the others were very happy to see that all the people were safe and sound. I paid the labor fee promised to the militia in advance, and although the militia did not eat the elixir, they were all happy to be paid.
Professor Sun asked someone from the village committee to inform the police, and then took me and Shirley Yang to the village chief's house for dinner. I had a lot of questions in my mind, so I asked Professor Sun what was going on in this crypt.
Professor Sun told me and Shirley Yang what had happened. It turned out that he had gone down to the crypt with his assistants, and he had also seen the iron chains that had sunk into the pool, and they had not moved the winch at that time, but when they came up, at the end of the first layer of the tunnel, they found a secret passage, and there were many stone tablets in it.
The tunnel is constructed in the form of "H" (one vertical on the left, one horizontal line is a double line, and the right vertical is a single line), and there are two tunnels in total. An open road is equipped with a dark road, the height difference is two meters, the double line is the open road, the single line is the dark road, and there is a horizontal open road in the middle. The steles are all in the dark passages. The so-called dark path is a cut lower than the bright road, there is a gap, and it is not easy to find it if you don't walk to it. There is a stone house at the end of the open and dark passages.
Professor Sun took his assistant into the secret passage below the single-line marker to check the preservation of the ancient stone tablets inside. Unexpectedly, due to the lower terrain here, the water seepage was much more serious than above, and the part connecting the middle of the two tunnels suddenly collapsed, and the two of them were trapped inside.
The people who went down to rescue did not find these two parallel tunnels, but fortunately, the area of the collapse was not large, and Professor Sun and his wife took a lot of effort to remove the stones that had collapsed and sealed the passage. As soon as they came out, they happened to meet the militia who stayed behind, and knew that someone had gone down to the stone house crypt to rescue them, and they didn't come back for a long time, so they went down with the two militiamen who stayed behind to check.
After investigation, the underground tunnel of the stele shop belongs to the ruins of the Qin Dynasty, there are several places in the vicinity, all of which are the places where Qin Shi Huang sent the alchemists to refine the medicine, and then it was probably abandoned, except for some stone steles that remain inside, there is no rest of the harvest. However, these steles still have great research value.
I asked Professor Sun, "What are the six jade beasts in the stone box and the strange jar hanging in the cave waterhole used for?" Could it be a relic of the Qin Dynasty? ”
Professor Sun shook his head and said: "No, the stone box jade beast, as well as the cave under the stone house, including the iron chain hanging cylinder, are two different from the tunnel ruins of the pre-Qin period, and they were all put in by later people." I have heard in Gutian County that people have gone missing every now and then over the years, and it is likely that it has something to do with this incident. I'm not a criminal investigator, but I can tell you about the inferences I can make from what I saw at the scene; Of course, this is not a state secret, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. ”
Professor Sun analyzed it like this: This set of stone box jade beasts is priceless, and it is very likely that it came from the ancient Dian Kingdom of Yunnan. The ancient Dian Kingdom was a mysterious kingdom that historians call the Lost Kingdom. There are not many records in the history books, it is rumored that many people in the country know how to do evil arts, "橐 (the old work "槖", sound camel) (the right half of the Xuan + owes) drink different examinations" has a record of the six demons and jade beasts of the king, which is a kind of utensils used in ancient sacrificial ceremonies. The old shopkeeper of the coffin shop in Shibeidian Village is one of the few outsiders in the village, and it is impossible to find out from which generation he moved from, and he is now deceased, so how he got this set of treasures, we can't know.
