Finally managed to survive until dawn, Li Bing quickly got up, finished washing, and called his tutor to ask for leave.

Li Bing opened his notebook, searched the Internet for relevant information about the Ming Tomb, and had a rough idea in his heart.

At a roadside breakfast stall, Li Bing ordered a basket of steamed buns and a cup of soy milk. Before I finished eating, my body gradually felt steaming hot, and my mental state was much better.

Li Bing rode his bicycle in the direction of Purple Mountain, and deliberately passed by the entrance of the Drum Tower Hospital. Of course, the result was as he expected, although he was disappointed not to see Yu Ru at the entrance of the hospital, he was also very calm, it was an indescribable feeling.

Unconsciously, the sun has risen high, Li Bing rode a bicycle to the entrance of Weigang Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum "dismount the horse workshop", it is a stone archway with two pillars, the forehead is engraved with "all the officials of the division dismount" six regular script characters, the civil and military officials of the tomb, must get off the horse and walk.

Although Li Bing was riding a bicycle, he also admired the martial arts of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, from the bottom of his heart, and found a place to park the bicycle, hiked into the Ming Tomb, and took the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful autumn colors along the way.

The Shinto stone carvings of the Ming Tomb are the only ones among the Chinese emperors that do not appear in a straight line, but instead form a curved shape around the Plum Blossom Mountain, where the tomb of Sun Quan was built during the Three Kingdoms period, resembling the Big Dipper. The 24 Shinto stone beasts, lions, pigs, camel elephants, unicorns, horses and elephants, as well as two Shinto stone pillars and four stone statues of civil and military generals along the way, made Li Bing feel nostalgic for the past and the present, and sighed.

After visiting the ground buildings of the Ming Tomb that survived the war, Li Bing came to the "treasure top" where Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were buried, which was a huge round mound, surrounded by a stone wall, and the stone wall on the south side was engraved with seven big characters of "the tomb of Ming Taizu of this mountain". The trees around the top of the treasure are verdant, and the pine waves are bursting, and visitors can't help but think of the ancient feelings.

Li Bing played all the way, and was already a little sleepy at this time, and the warm autumn sun was shining on his body, which made people feel lazy. After turning around for a while, Li Bing saw a very clean big bluestone, so he climbed up, lay on it, breathed the unique fresh air in the mountains and forests, and felt very comfortable in his heart, and for a while, he almost forgot the purpose of coming to the Ming Tomb.

I don't know how long it took, Li Bing only felt that the cold air around him was pressing, and it seemed that someone was calling him softly. Li Bing opened his eyes and was pleasantly surprised, it turned out that the person in front of him turned out to be Yu Ru.

Yu Ru smiled and said, "Brother Li, why are you lying here and sleeping?" The sun is sinking, you are still sleeping, and you are not afraid of catching a cold, be careful that the cemetery management will arrest you as a bad guy. ”

Li Bing realized that he only noticed the beauty in front of him, the sky was really dark, and there was not a single tourist around. He asked in surprise how he met Yu Ru here, and Yu Ru told him that today was her day off and she came out to the Ming Tomb for an autumn tour. Seeing that it was getting late, when he was about to go home, he unexpectedly saw Li Bing sleeping on the big bluestone, so he came to his side to wake him up.

Li Binglian thanked him, and the two hurried away and walked outside the cemetery. When passing through Sifang City, Yu Ru suddenly showed a look of fear on her face, and unconsciously hugged Li Bing. Li Bing was stunned, only to feel that Yu Ru's body was cold, and he was trembling with fear, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Ru trembled and asked Li Bing, "Did you hear a woman crying?" ”

Li Bing shook his head, looking at Yu Ru's scared look, he had to listen intently for a while, and it seemed that he really heard a woman's sad and miserable cry, and he didn't feel a little scared, so he couldn't help hugging Yu Ru tightly.

Although he was scared, it didn't take long for Li Bing to react immediately and leave the Ming Tomb quickly, which was the only thought in his mind now. When he dragged Yu Ru to the entrance of the cemetery at a trot, he had already seen the cemetery staff clearing the site. The two fled quickly under the disgruntled reprimand of the management. Li Bing found his bicycle, let Yu Ru sit in the back, and rode down the mountain at a fast speed.

When they arrived on the road, they saw pedestrians and vehicles coming and going, and the two felt a little relieved. Li Bing remembered that he hadn't asked Yu Ru where she lived, and was going to ride a bicycle to send Yu Ru home first.

Yu Ru said that there was no one at home, her parents were working in other places, and she temporarily lived in a single dormitory in the hospital. Li Bing was very happy when he heard that it was a stopper, and he suddenly forgot the scene just now, humming a little song all the way, and riding his bicycle in the direction of Gulou Hospital.

When I arrived at the entrance of the hospital, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Yu Ru said that she was a little hungry and asked Li Bing to accompany her to dinner at the stall where she had met last time. Li Bing readily agreed, took Yu Ru, and came to the stall in the west of Nanda again.

The two chatted while eating, and the stall owner on the side kept looking at them coldly, and Li Bing didn't care, and it wasn't that he didn't give money for eating.

Unconsciously, Li Bing heard the bell from the drum tower again, and it was midnight again. Li Bing finished the bill and rode a bicycle to take Yu Ru back to the hospital. The busy hospital during the day is quiet at the moment, and a row of small buildings on the side, Yu Ru said that it is a dormitory arranged by the hospital for employees, and she lives in room 213.

After Yu Ru and Li Bing exchanged phone calls, Li Bing watched Yu Ru go upstairs and did not leave the hospital until he saw the light in her room turn on.

Back at his residence, Li Bing began to think about the strange things he encountered today after sweetly reminiscing for a while. I thought about it repeatedly, but I never understood it. He opened his notebook and searched the Internet for information about the little stone drum, but found nothing.

When he closed the computer in disappointment and was about to go to bed, the program playing on the TV made him refreshed, and he hurriedly took out the small stone drum, and finally determined that this was a miniature version of the stone "Fengyang flower drum".

Li Bing suddenly figured out at this time, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is a native of Fengyang, this small stone drum is from the Ming Tomb at the foot of the Purple Mountain, he may really accidentally find a treasure, this small stone drum is very likely to be one of the funeral goods during the funeral of Ming Taizu, somehow, did not enter the underground palace, left outside, and turned out hundreds of years later, let the person who set up a stall in the Confucius Temple accidentally picked it up.

Li Bing's heart moved, could it be that there are really ghosts in this world?

If there were ghosts and gods, then everything would be explained. Perhaps because I was studying for a master's degree in archaeology, I spent too much energy and lacked yang energy, so I could hear the cry of a baby coming from the children's hospital.

This baby's cry is supposed to be the ghost of a dead person who died of illness in a children's hospital. The small stone drum is the funeral object of Ming Taizu, and Ming Taizu has ruled the country with an iron fist and fought against corruption all his life, and ghosts and gods are afraid, so when the deceased baby hears the sound of the small stone drum, he is naturally afraid of retreating.

Thinking of this, Li Bing felt a burst of excitement in his heart, it turned out that there were really supernatural things in this world. Although I was a little scared in my heart, it was no longer like the night before, after all, with this magic weapon around me, I was no longer afraid of the cry of the dead baby, not to mention that today was the sixteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and it was past the peak of the ghost gate.

Although Li Bing no longer cares about ghosts and gods, he also has no sleep all night, and his mind is full of Yu Ru's voice and smile.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Bing remembered Zhao Yiming's appointment and dialed Zhao Yiming's mobile phone, but got the reply that the phone was turned off. So, Li Bing returned to the laboratory, found his mentor, and told him about the supernatural things he had encountered in the past two days.

After listening to what Li Bing said, the tutor just smiled, not saying that he was superstitious, and at the same time told a legend about the Ming Tomb that only old Nanjing knew.

It turned out that Queen Ma died before Ming Taizu, and it is said that after Taizu returned to heaven, he entered the Ming Tomb and was buried with Queen Ma according to the ritual system, and at the same time mourned from multiple city gates in Nanjing. Therefore, later generations suspect that Ming Taizu was not buried in the Ming Tomb, but secretly buried in Chaotian Palace. It is said that someone has heard the sound of a woman crying in the Ming Tomb, and people privately say that it is because Ming Taizu was not buried in the Ming Tomb, so Queen Ma wept for this.

Li Bing sighed and took out a small stone drum for the instructor to identify. After the tutor saw it, he was surprised and asked Li Bing where he got it. Li Bing told the truth, and the mentor told Li Bing enviously that he had bumped into good luck, which should be one of Zhu Yuanjing's funeral goods, but unexpectedly let Li Bing get this treasure almost at no cost.

The tutor looked at Li Bing's face and told him with concern that he should pay attention to his body and not stay up late too often. Li Bing agreed with a smile, said goodbye to his mentor, came to the library, began to consult a large number of materials about supernatural events, and began to study Buddhist scriptures and Taoist occults.

In the next few days, there was no more call from Zhao Yiming, and Li Bing was also happy to be idle, in addition to studying these materials, he also called Yu Ru every night to make an appointment, and lived a sufficient and cheerful life.

It wasn't until half a month later that this state was accidentally broken by an incident.
