Chapter 24: The Secret Passage Under the Coffin
"I've been to this cave before, and there are no stone monkeys at all, when did this stone monkey appear?" Yu Chengyao pondered for a moment and looked up at Sandingzi.
Sandingzi was a little hesitant, and he seemed to be distressed.
"I can't say exactly when this stone monkey appeared, but I can deduce that it was lurking here before that dead man incident happened years ago!" Sandingzi thought about it seriously, and then replied to Yu Chengyao.
He replied very seriously and was not suspected of cheating.
"Uncle Sanding, do you know that the three immortal stone tools in the Zhuzi Cave are missing?" Yu Chengyao frowned and looked at Sandingzi, his eyes were always flickering, which made him a little suspicious.
"I know this, it happened a month before the dead man incident, so I concluded that this stone monkey was lurking here before the dead man incident!" Sandingzi answered Yu Chengyao without thinking about it, and this time Yu Chengyao believed his words.
It seems that Sandingzi has indeed investigated this matter, otherwise he would not have been able to express his position so resolutely.
At present, there is still a question that has not been solved, that is, what to do with this stone monkey? It's a good thing to kill it, but it's so weird, you might be able to find more clues by keeping it.
Yu Chengyao hesitated for a long time, and he finally made up his mind. Pulled Sandingzi behind him, and then kicked the stone monkey with his foot.
The stone monkey snorted and chirped angrily, and did not dare to attack, lying on the ground and staring at Yu Chengyao.
"This stone monkey is a living creature, it should be a genetically very special creature, if it is sent to the research institute, it may be able to make some benefits!" Yu Chengyao smiled at Sandingzi behind him and said, but Sandingzi was startled.
"No, it's not going to work. Its teeth can bite steel, and even if it is sent to the research institute, the people at the research institute will not be able to help it! If you don't kill it, you're going to get a lot of trouble! Sandingzi was extremely frightened, looking at Yu Chengyao's eyes and looking like he was about to cry.
Yu Chengyao was a little entangled, this stone monkey is indeed very perverted. It had just smashed the stone with its teeth and seen it with its own eyes, if Uncle Sanding was not wrong, the institute might not have been able to cure this stone monkey.
What can I do? This stone monkey is not a demon or a monster, but a primate with very special genes and a very special physique. It can't be dealt with with a charm, but it seems to be afraid of jade.
Jade is also a stone, so why is it only afraid of jade, not this limestone stone?
Yu Chengyao was a little entangled, jade was indeed more different from ordinary stones. Thinking of this, Yu Chengyao took out the phone and looked at it, there was no phone in the cave.
"I'm going to take this thing out, no matter what, I'll bear the consequences!" Yu Chengyao said resolutely.
After saying that, he tied the stone monkey's hands and abdomen with his own rags, and then escorted it out of the cave.
Seeing this, Sandingzi was so frightened that he didn't dare to stop or rush up to stop it. He could only grab the jade in his hand and follow him out of the mine from a distance.
After leaving the mine, the stone monkey is very afraid of light. As soon as he saw the sun, he began to struggle, but Yu Chengyao held on tightly, and he couldn't fight.
"What is this?" A group of uncles curiously gathered around and looked at the stone monkeys, they were both scared and curious.
"This is a stone monkey, don't get too close!" Yu Chengyao said, as soon as the words came out, those uncles were suddenly frightened to hide away.
"Where's Sandingzi? Why hasn't he come out yet? Uncle Lin asked from a distance.
Yu Chengyao smiled: "He's still behind and will come out soon!" ”
After saying that, Yu Chengyao didn't care about them. He took out his mobile phone and made a call to Qin Ze, and the call was quickly connected.
"It's been a long time, I've been back for so long, and your kid finally called the second uncle!" Qin Ze's tone could hear deep longing and concern, which made Yu Chengyao inevitably moved again.
"Second uncle, I have a monster here, with very sharp teeth, able to bite off the steel essence. Can the high technology of your institute deal with it? Yu Chengyao asked straight to the point.
Qin Ze was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, I will go to Zhuzikeng Village in the evening, where are you waiting for me?" ”
"Let's talk about it later, this thing is afraid of light, it's easy to get it during the day, and it's troublesome at night!"
"It can't be a ghost, right?" Hearing Yu Chengyao say this, Qin Ze was taken aback.
"No, it's just a genetically very special creature, maybe it will bring something to the research institute!" Yu Chengyao smiled easily.
Qin Ze also breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to come over and take the stone monkey away.
The stone monkey is indeed afraid of light, and in the sun, it has been squatting and not daring to stand up. Even if it was picked up by Yu Chengyao, it didn't dare to look at the surrounding situation with its eyes closed.
This discovery made Yu Chengyao a little surprised, he would be afraid of seeing the light when he was so at stake.
By the way, some jade will glow, could it be the reason for the light that causes the stone monkey to be afraid of jade?
Thinking of this, everything suddenly became clear.
Yu Chengyao left the mining area with the stone monkey, and Uncle Lin and the others also went home one after another. Such a strange thing happened in the mining area, and the people in the village were so panicked that no one dared to approach here.
In the evening, Sandingzi came to find Yu Chengyao again. He stuffed his jade into Yu Chengyao's hand: "With it, the stone monkey won't dare to eat you!"
His kindness made Yu Chengyao refuse, Yu Chengyao smiled and patted Sandingzi on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Sanding, you don't have to worry, this thing is afraid of light." I can subdue him with a flashlight! ”
Saying that, Yu Chengyao took out a strong flashlight from his bag and shone it into the eyes of the stone monkey, and the stone monkey really squatted down in fear and remained motionless.
"It seems that you are not killed, most of the reason is that you all have a miner's lamp on top of your heads, otherwise, I really don't know if this thing is so simple!"
Listening to Yu Chengyao's words, Sandingzi also suddenly realized, and nodded with palpitations: "Yes, it seems that he really escaped by luck." But this matter must not be simple, do you want to find out the results? ”
"What result?" Yu Chengyao looked at Sandingzi curiously, and Sandingzi mysteriously took out an envelope from his hand and stuffed it into Yu Chengyao's hand.
"I'll give you these things, and if you can read them, you should be able to find out who did the work to the mines!" After speaking, Sandingzi left in a hurry.
Yu Chengyao didn't rush to open the envelope, he was waiting for Qin Ze's arrival, at eight o'clock in the evening, the entrance of the village was already too dark to be dark. When Yu Chengyao kept using a strong light hand voltage, the stone monkey kept squatting on the ground in terror.
Not far away, the headlights gradually approached, and when they got close, the car honked two horns.
Yu Chengyao saw the people in the car clearly, and the people who came were Qin Ze and Xiao Wang, and the two of them came over.
Xiao Wang held a tranquilizer gun in his hand, and without saying a word, he gave a shot to the stone monkey.
The stone monkey struggled in horror at first, but it was suppressed by a strong flashlight, and it did not dare to open its eyes, its movements were not targeted, and its strength did not use much.
It didn't take long for the stone monkey to be anesthetized.
"This thing is really scary, it looks like a ghost!" Xiao Wang stepped forward to take a look, and there was hair everywhere. And it's dirty, very smelly.
Holding it to be anesthetized, Yu Chengyao lifted its lips and exposed its teeth.
Seeing that Xiao Wang and Qin Ze both gasped, this guy's teeth can really be compared to fierce beasts such as tigers and crocodiles.
"What the hell is this thing? We've never seen each other! Qin Ze was also curious, and looked at Yu Chengyao and asked.
Yu Chengyao shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a genetically mutated monkey, take it with you, be careful." This thing is afraid of light, as long as it covers it with light, he will not dare to move, but once it goes into the dark, it is like a fish in water! ”
After speaking, Yu Chengyao pointed to the wound on the stone monkey's chest again: "Its self-healing ability is very good, this is the blood hole left in the morning, it bled a lot at that time, I thought it was dead!" ”
"I didn't expect this thing to be very cunning, pretending to be dead to deceive me, and I almost killed an uncle in the village. You should also be careful and hand it over to the institute as soon as possible! ”
Yu Chengyao solemnly admonished, Qin Ze and Xiao Wang's faces also changed and changed, and finally made a serious guarantee, and then drove away with the stone monkey.
Sending the stone monkey away, Yu Chengyao walked towards the mine again.
I didn't have time to check the matter of Zhuzi Cave, and I don't know what happened to the skeleton man.
If that thing is not removed, something will happen to the Zhuzi Cave, and the mine will not be able to start. This is a loss of income for the people in the village, which is a big crisis.
After returning to Zhuzi Cave, Yu Chengyao rummaged through the large and small stones, but he didn't see the shadow of the skeleton man.
The sarcophagus and coffin lid were over there, but Yu Chengyao couldn't find the skeleton. This seems very strange, the sarcophagus is very close to the exit, and the big explosion did not have a destructive effect on the sarcophagus.
Looking at the sarcophagus, Yu Chengyao felt very disgusted. This thing is really bad and shouldn't be left here. He stepped forward and tried to move the sarcophagus, but the sarcophagus was large and heavy.
He was alone, his strength was limited, and he couldn't move it at all.
After thinking of a solution, Yu Chengyao began to swing the stone, and made a downhill slope outside the exit, and he pulled the trailer of the mine here.
Then he tied the sarcophagus with a rope at one end and to the trailer with the other. He filled the trailer to the brim, and a cart of stones was about five or six hundred pounds.
Yu Chengyao pushed hard again, and the trailer finally moved. If the trailer moves, it means that the sarcophagus moves, and he pushes the trailer desperately.
The trailer finally stopped when it went downhill, Yu Chengyao hurriedly returned to the cave to look, and Yu Chengyao was startled again.
There is a secret passage under the sarcophagus, and the appearance of the secret passage should have been carefully excavated.
The pattern of the secret passage is very particular, it does not rely on the hardness of the mountain itself to prevent collapse, but directly uses cement slabs to frame the top layer of the passage, and there is a large stone pillar on top of the cement slab above the head after five steps.
It seems that things are getting more and more complicated, and this time the nest has been discovered by me, see where else you can run!
Looking at the secret passage, Yu Chengyao sneered in his heart. This time, I have to show my stubborn temper a lot, if I didn't stubbornly want to get the sarcophagus away, I wouldn't be able to see this secret passage!
