Zhuzikeng Village in Hangcheng County is surrounded by mountains, and it is also a rare poor rural area in the south. However, it is a rich limestone mining area in Rock City. After a long period of mining reforms, this small mountain village far from the town gradually came under the management of the mineral resources department. For no other reason, the Ministry of Mines agreed to build a mining road for the village to the town.

After the road was built, the mining department contracted the mine to outsiders. As a local, they receive a small subsidy from the residents of the mining area, which is only two or three hundred yuan a year, and some families do not have so much.

There is a custom in mining in small mountain villages, where a special ritual must be held before the first mining. Ask for the protection of the gods, and when the altar is opened, the village chief must lead the villagers to participate.

The contractor did not want to accept this feudal and superstitious ritual, but it was reluctant to accept it at the unanimous insistence of the villagers.

One of the most interesting rituals is the setting off of firecrackers, if a thousand-headed firecracker keeps ringing from beginning to end, it means that the mountain god is willing to let the villagers mine. If the thousand-headed firecrackers go off, it means that the mountain god does not agree with the villagers to mine the stones. If it is forcibly mined, it is likely to provoke the wrath of the mountain god and punish him.

And this time the sacrificial ceremony did not go well, and the firecrackers went off. It took three or four times to complete a thousand-head firecracker, but the village chief could not stop the contractor's determination to mine.

On August 10, 2006, the mining project of Zhuzikeng Village was fully started. Yu Chengyao, who had just graduated from junior high school, and his little brother Lan Xiaohai next door fought for a place in the mining project.

"The grades have come down, there is no hope in high school, if I don't go into the mountains to mine, maybe my master will punish me!" Yu Chengyao, height 175cm, weight 65kg. Thick eyebrows and starry eyes, blazing, exuding a strange light. However, at this moment, this sixteen-year-old sturdy boy was frowning and looking listless.

Lan Xiaohai carried the mine shovel and buckled up his helmet and walked over to Yu Chengyao and patted Yu Chengyao's shoulder. He smiled happily and said: "It doesn't matter, what high school is not high, I can share the burden with my parents today, make money for the family, it doesn't matter if I don't study!" ”

"After all, you're here for the money, what about me? Alas~" Yu Chengyao was still listless, broke Lan Xiaohai's hand and followed the large army into the mine that had just been excavated.

It is said that the large army is actually only a dozen people, and among these more than ten people, only Yu Chengyao and Lan Xiaohai are from this village. The contractor was originally reluctant to use two people, but the two agreed that the price should be less.

There are two caves in this mine. One is a high cave on the mountainside, and below the high cave is the famous Zhuzi Cave in Zhuzikeng Village. Legend has it that this is a blessed place of heaven and a place for immortals.

Zhu Ziyan covers an area of about 300 square meters, there are stone benches, stone tables, and stone beds inside, which can accommodate hundreds of people, and the cave is cool and pleasant in summer and warm in winter.

The mining cave was opened next to Zhuziyan, so why not go directly to Zhuziyan, but take great pains to open another mining cave next to the cave?

It's already obvious here, this blessed place, will the people in the village be willing to let people destroy him?

However, it was like fate. At noon, a whistle sounded in the caves in the mine. This whistle is a sign that the detonator explosives have been planted and are ready to explode the ore.

Hearing the sound of the whistle, the miners had already evacuated the mine, but Yu Chengyao and Lan Xiaohai didn't have time to run out. Just as the two of them were about to leave the mine, a rumbling explosion sounded behind them, and the mine collapsed instantly. The stone walls that had been fixed around them shattered instantly, with the shock wave after the explosion.

Yu Chengyao and Lan Xiaohai were shocked into a dark space, and the two of them were also stunned by the violent tremors.

In the darkness, the cold water on the cave dripped and hit the stone wall with a crackling sound. A chill came, which instantly made Yu Chengyao sober up. He felt like his whole body was falling apart, and his hands were barely supporting himself to lift his upper body.

It was dark all around, and there was only the sound of dripping water. He still remembered that he had come out of the cave with Lan Xiaohai before, but the aftermath of the explosion seemed to make them fly tiredly. He raised his hand and touched the hard hat on his head, which was still there. He touched the miner's lamp on his hat again, and the glass shattered.

Not knowing if the lamp would still work, he tried to press the switch. With a snap, a beam of light pierced the darkness in front of him.

"Thank goodness, this still works!" Yu Chengyao muttered softly, his voice echoing in the darkness, and he looked around with the help of the light of the miner's lamp. Stone stools, stone tables, stone beds......

As long as it is the people of Zhuzikeng Village, they can already be sure that they are in the Zhuzi Cave at this moment. He looked around and found that Lan Xiaohai was not far from him, and a large stone like a coffin lid pressed against his chest.

Yu Chengyao was taken aback, hurriedly endured the pain, got up, and ran over.

"Ah~oh~" He howled, and the deep and powerful voice shook the bats in the cave with a dense flapping of their wings. Yu Chengyao laboriously moved the slate away and looked at Lan Xiaohai. But surprisingly, Lan Xiaohai didn't have any injuries on his body, which seemed very weird.

Yu Chengyao shook Lan Xiaohai gently, and Lan Xiaohai woke up after a while. As soon as he opened his eyes, he raised his hand to block his eyes and scolded: "Ah Yao, are you sick, why are you holding a lamp to my eyes?" ”

Hearing Lan Xiaohai's lively voice, Yu Chengyao breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile: "Holy shit, you were pressed with a big stone slab just now, I thought you were crushed to death!" ”

Yu Chengyao moved the light away, and Lan Xiaohai saw clearly that a coffin-like stone slab next to him was lying quietly on the side. When he saw the slate, he screamed and jumped up from the ground.

"Grass, where is this slate, this is clearly the coffin lid!" Lan Xiaohai patted his chest gently, his face was already pale.

Yu Chengyao looked at Lan Xiaohai in surprise, and then looked down at the stone slab. The slate seems to have been polished by hand, and it is really a coffin lid. After Yu Chengyao's flipping just now, the outline of the bottom of the stone slab was revealed at this moment, and the appearance of the coffin lid became clearer.

"I'll go, it's really the coffin lid!" Yu Chengyao also screamed, and his face turned pale. Beads of sweat ran down his forehead, and at the moment he only felt cold and cold all over his body.

In the dark, both sixteen-year-olds were intimidated. Suddenly, Lan Xiaohai patted Yu Chengyao's shoulder and pointed to a place in front of him, his face was pale, and his frightened expression made Yu Chengyao startled. Following his hand, the beam of the miner's lamp fell on the place where Lan Xiaohai was pointing.

A sarcophagus was laid out next to the ruins, and due to the collapse of the cave, the originally spacious Zhuzi Cave was only more than 100 square meters left at the moment, and the entrance of the cave was also gambled. And the sarcophagus next to the ruins has no lid, facing the two of them. Along the edge of the coffin, a fleshless palm can be seen climbing on the edge of the coffin, and the knuckle bone in the beam looks particularly pale and eerie.

"Coffin...... Coffin...... There really is a coffin! Xiao Hai's face turned pale, he stammered a little when he spoke, and his whole body trembled violently.

Yu Chengyao's face was also ugly, but after all, he had learned ancient martial arts from his master for ten years, and he was a master of art and bold. After the panic, he gradually calmed down, and the coffin appeared very abruptly. Zhu Ziyan didn't have this coffin before, how could he suddenly have it?

Yu Chengyao felt a wave of heat in his chest, and a faint golden light penetrated his thin shirt.

"Ah Yao, your natal Gu has lit up. Are we in trouble? Xiao Hai's face turned even paler, and he hid behind Yu Chengyao with his rolling belt, grabbing Yu Chengyao's arm with both hands.

Xiao Hai's hands were cold, which made Yu Chengyao shiver.
