Chapter Ninety-Four: The Waterhole

I couldn't bear it, and I really wanted to go over and throw the blind man into the crypt, but seeing that this blind fortune teller had a very high status in the eyes of the villagers, and if I really wanted to fight it, I would inevitably offend many people. The most hateful thing is that I finally dispelled the superstitious thoughts of the militia with money-coated shells, and at this time a blind man came out and talked nonsense, saying that these militiamen wanted to retreat one by one.

I said to the blind man in a fit of rage, "What is in this crypt?" Why don't you say it and let us hear it? If you can't scare me, you can take me aside as soon as possible. ”

The blind fortune teller looked proud and said to me, "You see, you see, you are doing things rashly, aren't you?" scared you to death, the old man still has to pay for your life, come here, let the old man touch your face. "Anyway, it doesn't matter if I want to, he stretches out his hand and squeezes my face.

The blind man pinched my face and said to himself: "The number of hexagrams in the past dynasties, the physiognomy is strange and exaggerated, a bamboo tube is loaded with heavenly machines, and several copper plates are used to explain everything, and you don't need to say anything to see people, you can know the high and low......"

He suddenly said strangely: "Strange, mortal snakes lock the spirit knot, there must be princes, it seems that your lordship is still a big court official......"

I was by the blind. I am now self-employed, pretending to be a state cadre here, this news is somehow known to him, so he will use this to bluff me, where have there been any princes in our family - put it aside now, enough prince-level feudal officials are provincial governors in the local area, and in military affairs, they have to be the head of the region, I have been the head of a company at most, and it is really nonsense.

I only heard the blind man continue: "If you don't take the career path, you are destined to have no future." If you want to go down to the crypt, you must take the old man with you, without the old man's guidance, even if you go in vertically, you will eventually come out horizontally. ”

Shirley Yang listened for a long time, then walked over to the blind man and said, "Do you think there is an ancient tomb down here, and you plan to go down with us pangolins to get some light and pour out two bright vessels?" Yes, no, no, we don't have time to go around in circles with you. If you have any more false words, I will immediately cast you out. ”

The blind man was stunned by Shirley Yang's words, and lowered his voice and said: "Shh~~ Be quiet, it turns out that the girl is also a person in the industry?" Listening to you, is Sha Mo touching the golden captain? The old man is still waiting for the official face, it seems that you have been touching gold recently, and there are really many talents. Since he is not an outsider, he will not wait for it, hey, the old man was also a famous Xieling wrestler in the land of the two lakes. Didn't you go to Yunnan when you were young and lost this pair of tricks, and went to this poor and remote country, by telling fortunes to make a living, and you are a lonely old man, so ...... I want to go in and get a piece of the pie, in exchange for a little scattered silver, so that I can buy a set of coffin boards for the old man when he is immortal. ”

Shirley Yang was also so angry with the blind man that she couldn't cry or laugh, and when she looked at me, I shook my head at her and firmly disagreed. This old boy is alarmist, and in the end, it turns out that he is also an upside-down bucket, this crypt is not like an ancient tomb, and even if there is a Ming weapon, he can't be cheapened.

Although the blind man's eyes could not see, his mind was active, and he knew the meaning of me and Shirley Yang very clearly, and hurriedly said to me: "The old man has a "(Xiangdan) Zi Mi Di Eye Map", and if you are willing to see it, give the old man a piece of the Ming instrument that is poured out, and this map will belong to you." ”

I asked the blind man, "I've heard of this map, it's a leyline map, and because of the manufacturing process, it seems that there is only one in the world—since it's a treasure book, why don't you sell it, and use it to fight with us (exchange goods)?" Most of them are subordinates (fakes), old man, are you stupid when we are? ”

The blind man said to me: "How can you say that the old man is also a senior, can't you kid respect and respect the old man, an old man, this tongue is so fast, won't others make fun of you for not understanding the order of the elder and the young." cough, this Qingwu Shentu was also bought by the old man in exchange for his life, but since ancient times, the secret techniques of feng shui have not been passed on, except for the authentic Touching Gold Captain who knows how to find the dragon, where can anyone understand the mystery in this picture. Falling into the hands of the laity, shouldn't the ancestor blame the old man for tyrannical ruin, how about it? Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on your words. ”

I thought to myself that the time has been delayed too much now, and it will not be good for us to go down with this blind mushroom again, so stabilize him first, and then worry about what to do when Professor Sun is rescued. Then he said to the blind man: "Let's make up our minds, just do what you say, even if there is no Ming weapon below, I can pay for your "(Enjoy Single) Zi Mi Di Eye Map". But you can't go down with us, and you have to cooperate with me and say a few bold words to the militia, so that they don't dare to go down in fear, and it will ruin our big things. ”

The blind man was very cooperative, and immediately called the militiamen over, and said to them: "This crypt is extraordinary—when Qin Shi Huang was on a trip, he saw the alchemy of immortals in this cave, so he erected a stone tablet in front of the mountain to remember this matter; In the future, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, also escaped the imperial court in the cave. This is the ** of the pre-Qin (the words that have been masked, the word can only see the lower half of the "field", and it is quite like the lower part of the "mountain", the two words can only be seen at the bottom of the word, and they can't be associated), there have been rules since ancient times, brothers, princes and princes will have a kind of Xiangning, although the old man looks at the militia, but all of them are tigers and bears, eagles and wolves, and they all have the image of generals. You might as well go down to this crypt to find out, and in the future, you will inevitably soar and divide the territory......"

I think it's almost there, and it won't be reliable for a blind man to say it. Hurriedly waved his hand, asked the three militiamen assigned before to prepare the hanging basket, put me and the militia platoon commander down first, and the four militiamen and Shirley Yang in the back went down one after another.

The platoon commander and I lit a torch and each carried a rifle. When I went down to the bottom of the coffin, I raised my torch and looked up, the crypt was about 20 meters away from the coffin, and the crack was naturally generated, and there was no trace of artificiality. The bottom is a very wide passage, seven or eight meters high, more than ten meters wide, paved with rectangular stones everywhere, water droplets seep out on the wall, in the middle of it, feel cold and penetrating.

The water and soil in this area of Gutian are deep, and it is easy to see the groundwater, and it is only more than 20 meters underground here, and the water seepage is more serious, which is related to the special geographical environment of Shibeidian Village. The basin is already low-lying, and it is in the rainy season, so this is why it is like this. If this is really an ancient tomb, then the utensils in the underground palace are afraid that they will also be damaged by the water.

The faults in the earth are very obvious, and in addition to the cracks we came down from, there are many fractures in the tunnel, and it seems that this place is in an earthquake zone. Fortunately, although the tunnel is simple and unpretentious, it is very sturdy and shows no signs of collapse.

The militia platoon commander pointed not far away and told me that when he first came down, he saw a stone platform there, on which was placed a rectangular stone box, weighing about 20 catties. I had never seen the stone box jade beast, and now it was being kept by the people of the village committee, and I asked the militia platoon commander, "What does it look like further inside?" ”

The militia platoon commander shook his head and said: "The stone platform is a house built of stone, and there is no road from there, but there is a hole in the ground of the stone house, which is very deep underneath. I felt goosebumps on my body from the wind blowing from inside, and I didn't dare to look at it again, so I ran back with the stone box. By the way, there's the sound of water down there. ”

At this time, the people behind also went down to the crypt one after another, and I saw that all the people had arrived, counted the number of people, and told them not to shoot casually, but to wait for my order; Let's see it clearly, don't hurt Professor Sun and another archaeologist by mistake.

Shirley Young and I, plus four militiamen with the militia platoon commander, a total of seven, with four rifles, lit three torches. There were many people and guns, and the goal was to pay 200 yuan for labor, so everyone became emboldened and followed me deeper into the tunnel.

This grand but not very long tunnel is clean, there is nothing superfluous, not even a single mouse. As we walked, we put our hands together and called out to Professor Sun, but there was no movement in the empty tunnel, except for the echoes and the sound of oozing water droplets.

At the end, there was a stone house as the militia platoon commander said, which was about the same size as an ordinary private house, and was built of round stones. The doorway is semi-circular and unobstructed, and although it looks man-made, it has a natural feeling. It is rare to see such a building in history, so it is difficult to make the blind man say, what kind of place is this immortal alchemy.

I asked Shirley Young if she could see what the stone house was for, she had never seen anything like it. So we passed through the doorway and into the house, where there was nothing but a stone bed.

The stone bed is flat and smooth like a mirror, not like the stone bed in the ancient tomb. After watching it for a long time, we couldn't see anything famous. There is a square gap in the ground of the stone house, which is the entrance to the tunnel at a 45-degree slope. It was very deep below, and I shone it in with a flashlight, but there was no end in sight, only an artificial gentle slope to go down. Professor Sun probably went down from here, and I shouted a few times inside, but no one responded.

I had no choice but to go down with the crowd first, leaving two militiamen to guard the entrance, just in case. After walking down the ramp made of rocks and earth for a long time, I heard the sound of water flowing, and I was worried that Professor Sun would fall into the water and drown, so I hurriedly walked a few steps. Everyone went down to take a look, this is a cave dug by man, there is a small pool on the ground in the middle, under the flashlight, the pool water is dark black, bottomless, I don't know if it is living water. There were several large iron rings on it, and several large iron chains sunk into the deep pool, strangely this chain was black and heavy, not like iron, but for a moment it was impossible to see what material it was made of, because there was no sign of rust on it.

The end of the huge chain sinking straight into the pool seemed to be a huge object, and we wanted to wait closer to take a closer look, but the thick chains suddenly shook violently, stirring up a string of ripples in the calm pool water.
