Chapter 5: Wuyi Hanging Coffin
On a dark night, a group of four people in a kayak left the off-road vehicle and went directly down the water. Straight into the hinterland of Wuyi Mountain, today's Wuyi Mountain has long been developed into a well-known tourist resort. It's the peak tourist season in the middle of summer, and there are a lot of tourists gathered here during the day.
All this came too suddenly and bizarrely, and after the words were clarified, everyone chose not to talk about the previous things very tacitly. was silent until he got out of the car, and Liu Xiaoge checked the map on his mobile phone before he knew that he had arrived in the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area.
In fact, Liu Xiaoge has always had the dream of traveling to the famous rivers of the motherland, and this time he came to Fujian naturally also had the idea to see the most famous mountain in Fujian, Wuyi Mountain. But he never expected that on such a dark and windy night, several people sneaked in like thieves, and where could they see any scenery.
When the four of them walked to the creek, they happened to have a kayak docked, and several people boarded the kayak very smoothly. With Li Xinwen at the helm, she floated downstream along the stream. As a native of Fujian, the little monkey is well versed in water.
And although Liu Xiaoge is not a complete landlubber, he can only shave the momentum, and can only ensure that he can spin in place in the water without sinking, in such a turbulent stream, as long as he falls into the water, it is estimated that several fluttering eight achievements will be carried by the stream to the bottom.
So after getting on the kayak, Liu Xiaoge kept holding on to the kayak nervously, for fear of accidentally falling into the water. The night is dark and the wind is high, and the stream is turbulent, so don't expect too much to be able to save you if you fall into the water in this situation. The little monkey looked at Liu Xiaoge's nervous appearance, and patted Liu Xiaogang's shoulder to signal him to relax, don't be so nervous.
Just when Liu Xiaoge was already a little dizzy from the bumps of the stream, the kayak slowly leaned to the bottom of the towering cliff on the side, and Professor Li skillfully fixed the kayak with a rope. Take out a flashlight and sweep it towards the surrounding cliffs. This sweep doesn't matter, but it scared Liu Xiaoge into a cold sweat, and he saw that the cliffs around him were full of dense caves.
These caves are not deep, they are concentrated on the cliffs more than ten meters above the surface of the stream, and there are a few relatively close ones where you can clearly see the ancient coffin parked in these caves. Some coffins are directly on the cliff, and the bottom is only supported by some simple wooden frames. I don't know how many years have passed, but they still look sturdy.
Liu Xiaoge was shocked in his heart and said: "Could it be that this is the mysterious Wuyi Mountain hanging coffin?" Li Xinwen said while wearing rock climbing equipment: "I can't see it, Senior Liu is quite well-informed, yes, this is the destination of our archaeological team, the mysterious hanging coffin of Wuyi Mountain." ”
The little monkey doesn't have Liu Xiaoge's fear of the coffin, and he looks like he is about to move. Since he was a child, he has not heard some legendary stories of tomb robbing told him by his adoptive father Chen, so he not only panicked about the coffin, but even had a desire to open the coffin and touch the gold.
At this time, Professor Li took out a metal compass and began to locate it, Liu Xiaoge looked at the metal compass in Professor Li's hand, and his heart moved when he saw it. A good compass is the best treasure of a Taoist priest, originally his family passed down one from generation to generation, and then disappeared with his uncompetitive father.
Now that I see the compass in Professor Li's hand, I can't help but feel ripples. Through the light of the flashlight, Liu Xiaoge could vaguely identify that this compass was some years old, and he knew that it was an old object at a glance. However, it can be seen that the compass owner has a loving heart for the compass, and the compass shows that it is as smooth as a mirror, and it is obviously not less played with in the hand.
While looking at the compass, Professor Li took out an old notebook and began to compare it. After determining the direction, Professor Li also began to put on his climbing equipment, and Li Xinwen saw that Professor Li also planned to go up. Hurriedly stepped forward and advised: "Professor Li, you are old, so the dangerous work of rock climbing is still left to me alone." Professor Li shook his head and said, "You can't do this without me, it's not that I don't believe in your ability, it's that I have a reason to go." ”
At this point, Professor Li's eyes began to blur, as if he had fallen into some unpleasant memory. Just looking up at the cliff, I didn't even realize that the cigarette in my mouth was burned out. Liu Xiaoge also looked at Professor Li directly, and suddenly Liu Xiaoge's eyes flashed, and he saw Professor Li's body in front of him faintly casting a bloody light in the darkness, which was a bad omen.
As a Taoist priest, although Liu Xiaoge is at most a trainee Taoist priest, most of the Taoist skills have not been learned. What he sees now is a person's luck, and many people don't believe in it, but every person, or every living being, has its own qi. Or it can also be said to be potential, only the momentum is one, this person is really unstoppable.
Once the momentum is exhausted and the fierce star is shining, this person is afraid that there will be a great calamity. Liu Xiaoge was also ineffective before, and occasionally he could see the momentum of some people, but it was either auspicious or fierce. This blood light can be said to be fleeting, and it didn't give Liu Xiaoge a chance to see it clearly.
At this time, Liu Xiaoge began to hesitate a little, with his previous experience, his hit rate was only about fifty percent. It's not high, but it's not to be underestimated. There is a fifty percent chance that there will be a catastrophe, which is already an obvious hint, if you don't come to the rescue, I'm afraid this Professor Li may not survive tonight.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoge looked up at the starry sky and wanted to see the stars, but unfortunately the night sky was pitch black, and the stars were almost suppressed by dark clouds, so he couldn't see them at all. Dark clouds are pressing, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the blood is beginning to appear. All of this shows that it is not a good sign, Liu Xiaoge is a little anxious.
At this moment, Professor Li has come back to his senses at some point, and he has finished dressing at this moment. Just as he was climbing, Liu Xiaoge came to Professor Li's side with a brisk step and grabbed Professor Li. Looking at Professor Li's deep eyes, he suddenly didn't know how to speak. Could it be that a scholar like him said that you have a bloody disaster, and it is better not to go up, if you go up, there may be a great calamity?
Will he believe it? Liu Xiaoge was a little crazy, but these words were always in his throat, and he couldn't say anything. Professor Li suddenly smiled, as if he understood what Liu Xiaoge meant, and patted Liu Xiaoge on the shoulder. Suddenly took out a cigarette from his pocket, and Liu Xiaoge's sharp eyes saw that among the exquisite cigarette cases, there was actually a charm-like ornament hanging in it.
Professor Li lit a cigarette and followed Liu Xiaoge's gaze to find that Liu Xiaoge was staring at the amulet on his cigarette case. He smiled and said, "Do you like this amulet?" I don't believe in it, but a friend of mine gave it to me. He said that as one of our archaeological trips, he often faced bad things, so he gave them to me to ward off evil spirits. ”
The little monkey didn't know where to come up at the moment, and when he saw this amulet, he suddenly became excited, pointing to the amulet and couldn't say anything to you. Professor Li took off the talisman, handed it to Liu Xiaoge and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you, my old life is enough to live until now." I just hope that at the end of my life, I can do what I want to do. "Anyway, I climbed up the rock wall with difficulty, and the whole process was completed in one go, without looking back and no nostalgia.
Liu Xiaoge took the talisman in his hand in a daze, and he felt Professor Li's deep sense of mission and fate. The little monkey didn't care so much, snatched the amulet, watched it carefully for a while, and then put it around his neck. Liu Xiaoge saw it, and hurriedly stopped the little monkey and said, "What are you doing, this is Professor Li's thing, why did you put it on?" ”
The little monkey slapped Liu Xiaoge's hand away and said, "Little brother, this is your ignorant side, do you know what this thing is?" If you knew, you wouldn't have to worry about that old man. Liu Xiaoge didn't care about the little monkey's set, and continued to pull the little monkey's collar and said: "I don't care what this is, even if it's an antique, even if it's priceless, we can't accept it, we have to return it to him later." ”
The little monkey saw that Liu Xiaoge couldn't resist it, so he persuaded patiently and kindly: "You are right, this is really an antique." But when it comes to value, this thing is priceless to special people, and useless to ordinary people. Liu Xiaoge interrupted impatiently: "If you have something to say, don't say anything in it, let me detour here." ”
The little monkey said bluntly: "This is an exclusive ornament worn by the captain of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it can be regarded as an identity mark." This is a gold talisman, you look at the color, black and transparent, and the pulp is also excellent. It's obviously a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation. Speaking of which, the little monkey also stroked it very carefully, and took out a flashlight to touch the golden talisman to shine, which can be said to be in love.
Liu Xiaoge also knew in his heart when he heard this, ordinary people may not understand what this inverted fight means. But Liu Xiaoge is also considered to be born in a Taoist family, and he is not too unfamiliar with this inverted gold and his party, which is just a nice name. To put it bluntly, he is a tomb robber, and this golden captain is a well-known faction among the tomb robbers.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoge felt that something was wrong, wasn't Professor Li a professor of archaeology? How could he have a gold talisman? It's hard to do it! Liu Xiaoge was suddenly surprised when he thought of this: "Could it be that this Professor Li is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he is also a tomb robber?" In the name of an archaeology professor, in fact, he is a tomb robber? ”
The little monkey obviously had no interest in this, and said happily: "What do you care about so much, what does it matter to us whether this old man is a tomb robber or not?" What if he was a grave robber? That's not right. If he is really a tomb robber, then we are not doing archaeological research now, but robbing tombs? ”
Speaking of tomb robbing, the little monkey was completely interested, and looked at the dense coffins on the cliff with gold stars in his eyes. Liu Xiaoge knew that the little monkey's greed was rising again, so he hurriedly interrupted: "What do you want to do?" You don't want to go to the tomb too, do you? The little monkey thief smiled and said: "This thing sent to the door, how can there be a reason to reject it, don't rub it, prepare to prepare, we will also go up." It's too late, and all the good things are touched by them, aren't we really wronged? ”
Liu Xiaoge's heart was also moved, if Professor Li and Li Xinwen were really tomb robbers, then they would not take it for nothing, and they should not have taken their ill-gotten gains. But, hey. Forget it, thinking too much, Liu Xiaoge patted his head, his heart was hot, whether it was a tomb robbery or not, go up and find out first.
If the two of them really touched the golden captain, then we can't really do the wrong, if it is really a tomb robber, we must stop Li Xinwen from going astray, after all, Li Xinwen is still young, why don't you want to be a tomb robber. This journey is tiring, but Liu Ye and I are tired, and not doing something earth-shattering is really not in line with Liu Ye's style.
