In addition to me and Shirley Young, there were also two militiamen led by the militia platoon commander who entered the depths of the cave, and we suddenly saw the chain that fell vertically into the waterhole tremble, and we couldn't help but take a few steps back.

There is no wind in this hole, no waves in the pool, how can such a heavy chain shake out of thin air? Could it be that the thing hanging under the waterhole by the giant chain is a living thing? What creature needs to be locked with such a thick chain?

I glanced at Shirley Young, who was also dazed and shook her head at me. I thought to myself that I had countless adventures in my life, and I had seen some strange things, but I really couldn't find a clue in the face of the waterhole under this tunnel, and this thick iron chain. But when it comes to Professor Sun's whereabouts, the only way to risk pulling the chain up and seeing what lies underneath.

At this time, the militia began to get nervous. Since ancient times, the land of Santai has been a place where the people are fierce, and these local peasant militias may not flinch if they are faced with a heavily armed enemy, but their superstitions have been deeply rooted for thousands of years. In addition, before going down to the crypt, the villagers talked a lot and said everything, we were there, and these militiamen saw this strange situation, and naturally they couldn't help but be suspicious.

The militia platoon commander said to me, "Chief Qian...... No, no...... Wildly...... Chief Hu, I'm afraid that there are monsters locked in this puddle? This is not to be alarmed, otherwise our village will be degraded. The other two militiamen also said: "Yes, yes, I am afraid that the spirits in the Yellow River are locked up, so don't act rashly, so as not to invite disasters and cause trouble." ”

I listened to the militiamen talk to me, and my eyes were not idle, and I had to find some reason to convince them, or they would all be scared away, and only Shriley and Yang would have something to do.

I looked around at the situation. Shibeidian Village is a small basin, not far from the Yellow River, I have never looked at the feng shui situation, and there will definitely be no noble tombs here. Although the environment here is very good, and it can even be said to be a fairy cave, there is too much groundwater here, and it is impossible for someone to be stupid enough to repair the tomb here.

The wide tunnel and the stone house at the end of the tunnel don't look like a tomb, I'm just familiar with ancient tombs, and I don't know much about other ancient buildings. But the stone bed in the stone house is a bit weird. There are two kinds of stone beds in ancient tombs, one is called the tomb bed where the coffin of the tomb owner is placed, and the other is called the shrine platform where the Ming utensils are displayed - the one in the stone house is more like a shrine for placing things.

There is a small cave at the mouth of the pool, and when you get here, it is the end, and there is no fork in the road. Professor Sun and another member of the archaeological team must have entered this cave, but there was no trace of them here.

The whole hole has obvious traces of artificial excavation and expansion, the scale is not very large, several thick iron chains pass through the top of the cave and connect a swing wheel in the corner, obviously can be lifted, it seems that the iron chain in the pool can be pulled up. I reached out and touched the chain, and it was indeed iron, but the outer layer was coated with anti-rust paint, which looked dark and dull.

I saw that the iron chain sinking into the pool was still shaking slightly, such a situation should not be washed by the undercurrent under the pool, there must be something alive, could it be that the chain is tied to some kind of giant turtle old dragon or something? You can't tell the militiamen about this kind of thing, and I suddenly remembered the words of a blind fortune teller. That old man is open-mouthed, but it has a miraculous effect on these villagers, I might as well follow the cat and draw the tiger, and deal with superstitious thoughts with superstitious thoughts, anyway, the top priority is to drag the things in the pond up and find Professor Sun as soon as possible.

So I said to the militiamen with a resolute expression: "Comrades, the time has come for the motherland and the people to test us. The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the fearless revolutionary spirit cannot be lost, so let's do it together and pull the chains out of the pool......"

The militia platoon commander rushed to me without waiting for me to finish speaking: "Chief Hu, my Chief Hu, I can't be dragged by anything, I can't be dragged by all." This chain is tied to the old monsters in the Yellow River, and such a big thing can't be done casually. ”

To be honest, I don't know the bottom in my heart, but on the surface, I have to pretend to be calm and calm, and show a little bit of the feeling of a leader. I said to the militia platoon commander: "Comrade platoon commander, don't you remember what the famous fortune teller said? The blind gentleman in your village is the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, Liu Bowen, and Zhuge Liang in ancient times, who knew 8,000 years before and 500 years later. Because I saw this description when I was studying ancient sources. What fell in this pool must be the incense burner of Taishang Laojun's alchemy, which contains the elixir of immortality and immortality. We must have discovered these elixirs first, and according to international practice, we should ...... Should ......"

Internationally, it seems that what rights will be given to the discoverer of what an individual discovers first, but I can't remember for a moment, so I quickly asked Shirley Young: "What is the international practice?" ”

Shirley Yang said for me: "According to international practice, the person who first discovered it has the right to name it. ”

As soon as I heard what the naming was, I went on to say to the militiamen: "Comrades, do you understand the right to name names? I pointed to one of the militiamen: "For example, brother, your name is Li Dazhuang, then as long as you are willing, the elixir we found can be called Da Zhuang Dan." Once the scientific research workers of our country mass produce this elixir for the benefit of the people, we will be regarded as making a great contribution to the party and the people. In addition, the most important thing is first-come, first-served, the five of us are the first to find out, and everyone can taste a few pills first, and I am in charge of this matter. ”

The three militiamen made me dizzy, the three of you look at me, I look at you, one of them is on the blind man when they say what they say, they all believe very much, the other loves this kind of vanity to build a meritorious career, and the third of the immortal elixir who doesn't want to eat a handful. But there is another concern that has not been cleared, since it is the Taishang Laojun Dan furnace that falls under the iron chain, why does the iron chain shake from time to time?

I secretly said that it was not good, the night was long and dreamy, and then I guessed blindly by these militiamen, and my lie would not be true: "Why does this chain move?" yes, it's moving because...... Because of the flow of the elixir in this furnace, this kind of elixir that eats immortality and eliminates all diseases, do you think it is black and smelly like that Chinese medicine pill? Every elixir has spirituality, after all, it is not a mortal thing in the world. ”

The militiamen nodded their heads when they heard my words, thinking that this was the case. It seems that the thing tied to this chain is not a monster in the Yellow River, it must be the Dan furnace of Taishang Laojun, who rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do it.

The militia platoon commander suddenly thought of something, walked up to me, and whispered a few words into my ear, and after hearing this, I said to him with a smile: "Comrade platoon commander, don't worry, there is no disease that cannot be cured by the elixir, and your matter is nothing at all." This elixir is dedicated to the yang and does not lift but does not be strong, and it does not shoot for a long time, and it is not thick, but it is not too much, and it is not ......."

The other two militiamen laughed when they listened, which made the militia platoon commander blush a little, and shouted at the two people: "What are the donkeys laughing at? Get to work. ”

Shirley Yang felt a little unsafe, and whispered to me: "Old Hu, I see that the chains in the pool seem to be some living things, so they are recklessly dragged out, isn't it ......?"

I took advantage of the fact that the militia was about to turn around, and said to her, "Can't you trust me?" Don't worry, like you, I only have one life, so how can I joke with our safety. I've seen so many situations and never looked at them. Looking at the feng shui situation here, I dare to guarantee that there will never be any ancient tombs, so there is no need to worry about having zongzi. Moreover, the natural environment here is unique, and it is not a deep mountain or old forest, and it is expected that there will be no fierce beasts; Even if there is, there are chains, and we have rifles to defend ourselves, so we are afraid of it. In case Professor Sun is below, if we don't do it for a long time, wouldn't it be a mistake for his life, of course, I'm afraid it's too late to do it now, so let's leave it to fate. ”

Shirley Yang said: "It's not that I'm not worried about you, it's that you've never done anything that reassures me. How can you talk badly to those villagers, but what kind of elixir of immortality, I think you are not even better than the blind fortune teller. Wait a minute, if the chain is brought up, there is no elixir, I will see how you explain it to them. ”

I said to her, "I'm not as blind as a blind man, that old man can pinch and calculate, and run the train with his mouth full." Now I can't help it, or else, the militia won't do it. I think the winch has to be turned by more than three people, and only the two of us can't play it. Later, in case there is no elixir, you have to help me make a round, and don't make it difficult for me alone. ”

After the militia platoon commander was ready, he beckoned me to the side, and Shirley Yang and I stopped talking, inserted the torch on the edge of the pool, each end of the rifle, pulled the bolt, and waved to the militia platoon commander: "Do it." ”

The militia platoon commander and the other two militiamen swirled around and rolled up chains on the winch as if they were drawing water from a well. Unexpectedly, the mechanical principle between the winch and the rocking chain is very ingeniously designed, and it doesn't take three people at all, only one person can slowly roll the chain into the winch with eighty percent of the strength.

As the iron chains that sank into the pool rose, the palms of Shirley Yang and I were also pinched into cold sweat. Whether the things under the pool are alive or something else will soon be known, and the mood can't help but slowly rise with the thick iron chains, and lift up.

The iron chain was rolled up for more than ten meters, and I saw a splash in the pool, and a dark and heavy thing emerged from the pool.

The militia platoon leader shouted: "My ancestor, I am really talked about by Chief Hu, I am afraid it is really the furnace where Taishang Laojun burned Dan." ”
