The villagers who rushed to inform the militia platoon commander said that the old cadre in the archaeological team had died, and when Shirley Yang and I heard this, our brains were buzzing, and the old cadre was afraid that it was none other than Professor Sun who we were looking for, and if he died, we would also have to go with the general trend. How can you not die early and not die late, just in time for this critical joint.

Listening to the villager continue to report the situation to the militia platoon commander, it turned out that the archaeological team only came two people, and asked the villagers to hoist them into the cave of the coffin shop in baskets to see what was down there. The village chief was worried that they would have an accident, so he wanted to choose a few brave villagers to go down to find them, but everyone was frightened, thinking of the legend of the coffin shop, and for a while people were panicked, and no one dared to go down to die, saying that this hole was through the underworld, and they couldn't go up if they went down.

Only the strong man of the militia platoon commander had gone down once, so the village chief had no choice but to send someone to find him to go back to help.

The last time the militia platoon commander went down to the cave, he was also a good man, recalling the cold cave, and at this time, he had to tremble all over his body when he stood under the sun. Now seeing that the village chief sent someone to find him, maybe he was planning to let him go down again, but when he thought of this, the militia platoon leader turned his legs and stomachs, and secretly screamed that his life was bitter, and he wanted to turn around and go back, but he said that he couldn't move his legs.

Shirley Yang saw that this was an opportunity, so he gave me a look, and I knew in my heart that since Professor Sun's life and death were unknown and he fell into a cave in the ground, we must see people in life and corpses in death, and we must take the risk to go down and rescue him.

So I grabbed the hand of the militia platoon commander and said to him: "Comrade Company Commander, it turns out that you are the first hero to go down the tunnel!" I am so honored to be able to shake hands with you. ”

Although the militia platoon commander was a rough man, he was very vain, otherwise he would not have made any farce of militia martial law.

I struck while the iron was hot, and then said to the militia platoon commander: "I know that kind of hole, even if you are a good man with iron, you will not be able to resist the cold breath in the cave for a long time." Since you have already made a cave expedition, Professor Sun of our archaeological team is ——— the stubborn old man who is balding ——— an old acquaintance, why don't you take us over and I will walk for you. Of course, I am doing this kind of thing, firstly, to save my old friend, and secondly, to deeply study your heroic deeds, not only do I want to learn from you personally, but I also want to call on the people of the whole country to continue to carry out a vigorous campaign to learn from you, so you can quickly take us to the coffin shop in the village. ”

The militia platoon commander was a little embarrassed: "Brother, look at this...... It's not that I refuse to let you into the village, but I have given an explanation to the militia organizationally, and I am not allowed to let the idle people go in today. ”

I heard that my heart was on fire, and there was smoke in the five, it seems that this grandson is still fucking hard and not soft, and he will not let in if he gives money and says good things, then I will be polite to you. So he grabbed the stick in the hand of the militia platoon commander, and said to him with a straight face: "Do you see the young lady behind me?" She is a US commissioner, and I will tell you the truth, we are from the Sino-US Cooperation Institute, and if you delay our major affairs any longer, she will send a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country and ask the organization to remove you from the post of platoon leader. I said that you are also a national cadre of the fucking size, why can't you see the height of your eyebrows like this, don't you see that she is impatient? That's what she looks at in my face. If I hadn't admired you as a good man, I wouldn't have told you these things, and would you let us pass? ”

The militia platoon commander was confused, and he didn't understand what I meant, but when he heard that he could find an official and let the organization deal with him, he immediately agreed to take us into the village.

I took two yuan and gave it to Old Man Liu's grandson, asked him to buy candy to eat, told him not to be greedy on the way back, and sent him home.

Shirley Yang and I didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed the militia platoon commander into the village of Shibeidian behind the hillside. As soon as I turned the hillside, it suddenly became clear that this stone tablet shop was located in a small basin surrounded by hills. It is blessed with a unique geographical environment, and in the dry season, a small basin like this will not lack rain due to the air pressure; When the Yellow River flooded, there were dense hills around it to resist, forming a natural barrier, and the population of this stone tablet shop was really quite a lot, not to mention five or six hundred households, overlooking from the hillside, the village was quite neat and orderly.

Walking not far away, I saw a huge stone tablet standing on a hillside, I saw the wordless tablet on Mount Tai back then, it was already very huge, the stone tablet at the entrance of the stele shop village was not much smaller than the wordless tablet of Mount Tai. The handwriting on the stele is long gone, and it looks like an abrupt big stone slab from a distance, and there is a headless strong stone beast under the stele, which looks a little like the stele's stele1, but it is plausible.

Shirley Yang and I rushed into the village to rescue Professor Sun, and on the way we saw the peculiarity of this stele, and we couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but we couldn't see the origin of this stele.

Shirley Young asked me, "It doesn't look like a tombstone, do you think there's an ancient tomb around here?" ”

I looked around as I walked, the environment here is good, the climate is pleasant, suitable for living, but the surrounding is scattered hills, not a pattern, not lined up shì rational qi, not like there is an ancient tomb, even if there is, it will not be a mausoleum for princes and nobles. Listening to the militia platoon commander say that the hole found under the coffin in the village is gloomy inside, and there is a blue brick paving on the first floor, a stone bed in the middle, and there is another hole below, what kind of place would it be?

Anyway, now our only hope is pinned on Professor Sun, his life and death in the cave are unknown, no matter what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den is under it, I must find a way to rescue him, and Shirley Yang and Shirley Yang speed up their steps.

The militia platoon commander led the way and stopped in front of a coffin shop at the east end of the village, which sold not only longevity timber, but also incense paper horses, with an old plaque hanging on the door. There were many villagers watching the excitement in front of the door, and there were three or five militiamen with big shoulders and round waists in front of the hall, preventing everyone from entering. In fact, even if you let it go in to see, no one dares to enter now, everyone is suspicious in their hearts, and there are many discussions, some say that this hole probably leads to the Dragon Palace under the Yellow River, this alarm, but it is terrible, after a few days the Yellow River Dragon King is angry, and he will flood this square for thousands of miles; Some people say that the cave is connected to the underworld, and if it is not filled in and sealed at night, the hungry ghosts and ghosts in the underworld will run out of the cave and harm people; There is also a village elementary school teacher, who said even more evilly: "You donkeys know a lot, you know a superstitious 64 ball, then the cold and cold down there must be through Antarctica, and after a while, the ice water on the other side of the earth will pour in, drowning you superstitious donkeys." ”

Several large and small minds in the village were in a hurry, and the two archaeologists sent by the province did not move after going down to the cave, and the big basket they pulled up was also empty, and no one dared to go down to probe.

The village chief and the others were ignoring the situation when they saw the militia platoon commander turn around. This platoon commander is a well-known bold in the whole village, and since the villagers dare not go into the hole, they have to let the militia platoon commander take the lead for everyone.

Without waiting for the village chief to give an order, the militia platoon commander introduced me and Shirley Yang to me, saying that these two were from the Sino-US Cooperation Institute and the archaeological team, and that they knew the two archaeologists whose fate was unknown.

The village chief hurriedly hugged me tightly: "My comrade, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we have finally looked forward to the people in the organization." Then he told a lot of difficulties faced, not that the village committee did not want to save people, but that the people in the village were frightened by the legend of this coffin shop, there was originally a platoon of militia, but since the beginning of seven or nine years, the establishment has not been full, and there are seven or eight rabbles when they are full, and they have not received any formal training, and they do not know how to deal with this kind of emergency.

I understood what the village chief meant, and he was putting the blame on me. Now I don't care about talking to him about this, I went into the house and took a look at the crypt, the floor tiles in the coffin shop had been pried open a lot, and a huge gap was revealed underneath, and there was a black hole inside, and I couldn't see how deep it was. I didn't have anything with me, and it was very difficult for me and Shirley Yang to go down and save people, and someone had to help.

So I first asked the village chief to send a villager with fast legs to the county seat to move rescue soldiers, whether it was the public security, the armed police, or medical personnel, so that they could come as soon as possible. However, once the functional departments of this kind of rural county are operational, they need to be asked for instructions at all levels, and the efficiency is extremely low, and they cannot be completely expected to come in time.

I know that Professor Sun and the others have been down for a long time, if there is really danger, most of them will have died a long time ago, so I can only pray for the blessing of Master Zu, they are just trapped below, so that we still have a chance to go down to rescue. But if you want to hurry, you can't do it rashly this time, and these militias are a rabble, you must be prepared in advance, if there is another accident, it will be a big trouble.

Then let the militia platoon commander gather all the militia, including the militia platoon commander, there were a total of eight people, all carrying burning sticks and red tassel guns to stand in a horizontal column. I stood in front of them and said, "Comrades, we have two comrades who have been killed below, and I will take you to rescue them now, and everyone will obey my command." Don't worry too much, this is not a netherworld, it may be an ancient ruin. If I ask you to save people, it will not be voluntary labor, you will each have a hundred yuan for labor expenses, how about saving people and giving each person an extra hundred? Do the comrades have the determination? Do you dare to go? ”

All the militia were listless at first and didn't want to take risks, but the village chief spoke, and they couldn't help but listen, and a few people even planned to pretend that their stomachs hurt, but after hearing that one person would give 200 yuan for labor fees, they immediately felt a hundred times more energetic, and one by one held their heads high, their mental outlook changed, and they agreed in unison.

When I saw that the money offensive was working, I asked everyone to bring a few rifles from the armed forces department in the village, and asked the village chief to prepare candles and flashlights.

Shirley Young reminded me: "There are at least two floors in this crypt, and I don't know how deep it is below two floors. Professor Sun: They might want to see what happened to the air-eroded layer below. Due to the chemical and biological effects of salts, water, gases, bacteria and other chemicals in the underground environment, there is a sharp change in the air, which causes great harm to the human body, so each of us should cover our mouth and nose with a wet towel, light a torch, and retreat immediately when the torch is extinguished. ”

I nodded yes, and asked everyone to prepare according to Shirley Yang's words, leaving three militiamen on the top to be responsible for lifting and lowering the hanging baskets, and let the village chief lead the people of the village committee to guard the gate and not let unrelated people in.

Seeing that it was almost ready, I was about to go down first, when suddenly I saw a commotion outside the door, and a blind man took advantage of the chaos to squeeze in. Wearing a pair of dual-element blind mirrors and a goatee, this man held a book in one hand and a bamboo stick in the other, and anxiously asked the people in the coffin shop: "Who is in charge?" Please come out and speak. ”

I shouted impatiently to the village chief, "Aren't you not allowed to let the idlers wait in?" How did you put this blind man in? Get him out of here, and don't delay our business. ”

The blind man heard where I was talking and stabbed me with a stick: "The boy is rude, forgive you and don't know who the old man is, otherwise how dare you say wild words, the old man is here to save your life......"

The village chief also rushed over to me and said, "Comrade Hu, this is a well-known fortune teller in the county. Last year, my mother-in-law stepped on the fox fairy and fell into evil, thanks to the guidance of this gentleman, she was able to save her life, you listen to his words, you must be right. ”

I was anxious in my heart, anxious to know the whereabouts of Professor Sun's life and death, so I scolded the blind man: "Fuck your uncle, when we swept away a qiē cow ghost snake god, why didn't we do anything about you, where did you hide at that time, and now you come out and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, I tell you to hurry up and get in my way, don't get in the way." ”

The blind man pursed his mouth and snorted coldly: "The old man used to give the chief a hexagram in Jiangxi, and he had a place to go when there was a disaster, and at that time there was no junior like you. The old man can't bear to see these innocent lives being affected by you, and they are all killed here, so he makes it clear to you that this crypt is not an ordinary place to go to, and if you tell what is inside, you are afraid that you will be scared to death. ”

I couldn't bear it, I really wanted to go over and throw the blind man into the crypt, but seeing that this blind fortune teller had a very high status in the eyes of the villagers, and if he really wanted to fight it, he would inevitably offend many people. The most hateful thing is that I finally used money to sugar-coat the cannonballs to dispel the superstitious thoughts of the militia, and at this time, a blind man came out and talked nonsense, saying that these militiamen wanted to retreat one by one.

I said to the blind man in a fit of rage, "What is in this crypt?" Why don't you say it and let us hear it? If you can't scare me, you can take me aside as soon as possible. ”

The blind fortune teller looked proud and said to me, "You see, you see, you are doing things rashly, aren't you?" scared you to death, the old man still has to pay for your life, come here, let the old man touch your face. "Anyway, it doesn't matter if I want to, he stretches out his hand and squeezes my face.

The blind man pinched my face and said to himself: "The number of hexagrams handed down by the past generations is exaggerated; A bamboo tube is loaded with a heavenly machine, and several copper plates are used to make everything; Touching the bones and observing people does not need to speak, you will know the high and low......"

The blind man suddenly wondered: "It's strange, mortal snakes lock the spirit knack, there must be princes, it seems that you are still a big court official......

I was amused by the blind man, I am now a self-employed person, and I am pretending to be a state cadre here, and somehow he knows about it, so he uses this to bluff me. Where have there been any princes in our family, put it aside now, enough to be a prince-level feudal official, a provincial governor at the local level, and a regional leader in military affairs, I have to be the head of a company at most, it's really fucking nonsense.

I only heard the blind man continue: "If you don't take the career path, you are destined to have no future." If you want to go down to the crypt, you must take the old man with you, and without the old man's guidance, even if you go in vertically, you will eventually come out horizontally. ”

Shirley Yang listened for a long time, then walked over to the blind man and said, "Do you think there is an ancient tomb down here, and you plan to go down with us pangolins to get some light and pour out two bright vessels?" Yes, no, no, we don't have time to go around in circles with you anymore, if you have half a lie, we will kick you out immediately. ”

The blind man was stunned by Shirley Yang's words, and lowered his voice and said, "Shhh——— be quiet, it turns out that the girl is also a person in the industry?" Listening to you, isn't this Captain Jin? The old man is still an official. It seems that you have been really talented lately. Since he is not an outsider, he will not wait for it. Hey, the old man was also a famous Xieling Lux in the land of the two lakes, didn't he go to Yunnan when he was young and lost this pair of tricks? Wandering to this poor country, by telling fortunes to make a living, he is a lonely old man, so he ...... I want to go in and get a piece of the pie, in exchange for some scattered silver taels, so that when the old man is in Xianyou, he can buy a set of coffin boards. ”

Shirley Yang was also so angry that the blind man couldn't cry or laugh, looked at me, I shook my head at her, and resolutely disagreed, this old boy was alarmist, and in the end, it turned out to be an inverted bucket, this crypt is not like an ancient tomb, and even if there is a Ming weapon, it can't be cheap for him.

Although the blind man's eyes could not see, his mind was lively, and he knew the meaning of me and Shirley Yang clearly, and hurriedly said to me: "The old man has a "Diagram of the Eyes of the Eyes of the Blind Man", and if you are willing to see it, give the old man a piece of the Ming Instrument that is poured out, and this atlas will belong to you." ”

I asked the blind man, "I've heard of this map, it's a leyline map, because of the manufacturing process, it seems that there is only one in the world, since it's a treasure book, why don't you sell it, and you have to use it to fight with us (exchange goods)?" Most of them are subordinates (fakes), old man, are you stupid when we are? ”

The blind man said to me: "How can you say that the old man is also a senior, can't you kid respect the old man?" An old man, with such a quick tongue, won't others make others make fun of you for not understanding the order of the young and the old? cough, this Qingwu Divine Diagram was also bought by the old man in exchange for his life, but since ancient times, the secret techniques of feng shui are all secrets that are not passed on, except for the authentic Touching Gold Captain who knows how to find the dragon, where is there anyone who can understand the mystery in this picture, and it falls into the hands of the laity, shouldn't the ancestor blame the old man for tyrannical destruction of heavenly things? How it is, whether it will be successful or not, it depends on you to wait for a word. ”

I thought to myself that time has been delayed too much now, and it will not be good for us to go down with this blind man's mushroom again, stabilize him first, and then make plans when Professor Sun is rescued, so I said to the blind man: "Let's make up our minds, just do what you say, even if there is no Ming weapon below, I can also pay for your "Eye Diagram of the Earth". But you can't go down with us, and you have to cooperate with me and say a few bold words to the militiamen, so that they don't dare to go down in fear, and it will ruin our big business. ”

The blind man was very cooperative, and immediately called the militiamen over, and said to them: "This crypt is extraordinary, when Qin Shi Huang traveled, he saw the immortal alchemy in this cave, so he erected a stone tablet in front of the mountain to remember this matter." In the future, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, also escaped the imperial court in the hole, and at that time he was both clothed, only because he had entered this immortal cave, and he was called Wang Tuba in the future, and pacified the great foundation of the world. Brothers, the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, although the old man and others are a militia, but they are all tigers and bears, eagles and wolves, all of them have the appearance of generals, you might as well go down to this crypt to find out, and it will inevitably soar in the future......"

I saw that it was almost over, and if the blind man continued, it would be unreliable, so I hurriedly waved my hand and asked the three militiamen assigned before to prepare the hanging baskets, and put me and the militia platoon commander down first, and the four militiamen and Shirley Yang in the back came down one after another.
