"It's really incredible, with the projection of the sun, on the stone to form a few words, the angle of the sun, not only with the change of the hour, but also with the change of the season, so, the appearance of those six words, not in any season can be seen at noon, I am afraid that only in this season, every day at twelve o'clock can appear, if you change the season, even at noon, may not be seen."

Crazy Six frowned, as if he was talking to himself, and his cousin nodded silently beside him, agreeing with this inference of Crazy Six Six.

These words are so weird that they only appear at noon in this season, and the time they appear is only a minute at most, which is really fleeting and extremely difficult to find.

"What the hell are those six words?" Hongmei asked softly beside her.

"It's 'a place of no life and no death'", before my cousin could answer, Mr. Chen on the side said, "Each word is the size of a fist, the font is unusually clear and strong, it is a very standard willow font, I really can't imagine, who can use the projection of various edges and corners of the stone on it to form these six words on that stone?" It's so ingenious. ”

"A place where there is no life and no death"? What does this mean exactly?

My cousin's eyes were fixed on the crater, and he didn't say a word, as if he was in deep thought.

"Do you remember that 'spirit fetus'? It is said that during the period of Qin Shi Huang, a warlock who specially refined the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang came to a large cave and gave three hundred pairs of virgins aphrodisiacs, and let them die on a piece of silk cloth concocted by medicine, day and night, the bones of these men and women were refined, crystallized, and then the 'spirit fetus' was born, this germination process was very similar to growing mushrooms from damp grass and trees, I don't know why, I heard' There is no place for life and no death', and suddenly remembered that cave, and the weird 'spirit fetus', the old Taoist priest also said that a strange thing in the mountain is related to the 'spirit fetus', but according to the current view, the old Taoist priest's conclusion is wrong, and all kinds of weirdness in the mountains should be caused by this meteorite. ”

Hongmei's words make us quickly think of the old Taoist, as well as his mysterious death, and the mysterious disappearance of the 'spirit fetus', that old Taoist priest is also a strange person, proficient in a kind of 'feng shui curse technique', can curse the living to death. He once came to the cave of this mountain to practice the art of immortality, and later had a series of unbelievable experiences.

Hongmei thinks of the Taoist priest and the "spirit fetus", and we can completely understand it, because everyone vaguely feels that this kind of "place of no life and no death" seems to have something to do with "immortality".

Is that really the case?

When we asked my cousin for confirmation, he didn't answer immediately, as if he hadn't heard us ask him, but he was still immersed in deep thought, and for a while, everyone was silent.

After about a minute, my cousin suddenly said: "The Zhang family on the cliff wall in the cave may also be related to this crater." ”

This sentence of my cousin surprised us.

The corpse of the old lady on the cliff wall, dressed in beautiful clothes, immediately appeared in my mind, and I shuddered a little. That Zhang, the mother of the blind man, had been dead for at least 300 years, but the corpse was not only not decomposed, but still lifelike, and could still move, in a sense, it can be said that she is still "alive", but she is unconscious, and has become a zombie-like state.

Is Zhang's zombie-like state also related to this crater?

At this moment, my cousin's thoughts seemed to return to reality, and he looked back from the crater, and then looked at us and said slowly: "During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king in our area was called Zhu Leting......"

"Zhu Leting? How is the name so familiar? By the way, the old-timers said that the medicine used by the blind man to deal with the 'monkey eagle' last time was invented by Zhu Leting. ”

Sister Li couldn't help but interject, and after she reminded us like this, we all remembered that Crazy Six did say this name.

The cousin nodded slightly, and continued: "Well, it's that Zhu Leting, it is recorded in the history books that he disappeared mysteriously in this crater, and the process is extremely mysterious.

At that time, Li Zicheng had already captured our area, and the vassal king Zhu Leting, with three or five personal guards, and a strange bird in his arms, fled to this crater under the pursuit of Li Zicheng's troops, the history books say that when the pursuers behind chased here, they were more than ten steps away from Zhu Leting, and Zhu Leting was about to fall into the hands of Li Chuangwang's troops, but at this moment, an unexpected strange thing happened - Zhu Leting and his party entered this crater, and when the pursuers behind chased to the edge of the pit, Zhu Leting: They are gone.

This crater has no grass, and there are no big rocks for people to hide, the entire crater can be seen at a glance, and Zhu Leting and a few people obviously entered the crater, so they never saw it out, how could they disappear mysteriously? Thousands of people came one after another, repeatedly searched in this pit for a whole day, but found nothing, every inch of stone in the pit was searched, but no caves and traces were found, just like that, the vassal king Zhu Leting, mysteriously disappeared in this crater, and became an unsolved case in the history books, and the leader responsible for chasing Zhu Leting, because he failed to catch Zhu Leting, was killed by Li Zicheng after he returned.

This record occupies a long space in our county annals, because many of the soldiers who participated in the pursuit were our locals, and they all saw this mysterious scene with their own eyes.

Therefore, this seemingly ordinary crater is full of many incredible mysteries, and it is not entirely accidental that I can find those few words projected on the stone today, because as soon as I entered the crater, I found a very strange phenomenon......".

As soon as we said this, we heard Mr. Chen's "oops", everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Mr. Chen's side, and we found out that Mr. Chen was so fascinated by listening to it that he even forgot to smoke the cigarette in his hand, until the cigarette burned his fingers, Mr. Chen didn't find out.

It seems that what his cousin said has completely shocked Mr. Chen, and it is no wonder that this crater is simply 'accustomed to him' - he doesn't think there is anything strange about seeing it every day, but what he didn't expect is that when his cousin first came to this pit, he found so many secrets, how could this not shock him!

"Ha, what you said is more wonderful than the storytelling, it's okay, you keep talking", Mr. Chen quickly put the cigarette on the ground, smiled to himself and said, and his cousin also smiled and said: "Actually, the reason why I was able to find those six words is related to the cigarette in Mr. Chen's hand." ”

Hearing his cousin say this, Mr. Chen's eyes widened, and he was very surprised and confused and asked, "What?" Something to do with the cigarette in my hand? ”

The cousin nodded: "Yes, it has something to do with the cigarette in your hand, the smoke of the cigarette in your hand should have drifted upward, and the smoke would have dispersed quickly, but once you arrived in this crater, although the smoke of the cigarette still floated upward, when it floated up to four or five meters, the wisp of smoke still did not disperse, and it was very straight, which looked very weird."

This shows that the air flow in the crater is from the bottom up, and it is very regular, there will be no turbulence, and the air flow around the crater cannot come in, that is to say, this huge stone crater seems to be covered by an invisible air flow cover, and there may be only one possibility for this phenomenon - under these stone layers, there is an ancient tomb in the spring and autumn. ”

When my cousin said this, he completely confused us, and the first of the six madmen couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that those caves in the mountains are the ancient tombs of prehistoric civilizations?" It's just that after being occupied by the Japanese army, it was repaired on the original foundation, why did an ancient tomb of the Spring and Autumn Period emerge here, besides, it should be a meteorite below, how can there be an ancient tomb again? Also, how did you tell that there was an ancient tomb underneath, and that it must be an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period? ”

The cousin smiled and patiently explained: "Yes, that's right, but the special human beings in prehistory who built tombs here do not affect future generations; The following is indeed a meteorite, but in ancient times, the emperor had a custom of burying the prime minister, that is, he liked to build the tomb in the place where the meteorite landed, and they felt that it was very auspicious, and he could quickly become an immortal after death.

Why can you tell that there is an ancient tomb underneath? And can it be determined that it is an ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period? This is all based on my decades of archaeological experience and research.

In our mountain, for some reason, a number of ancient tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period were discovered, and the structure of these ancient tombs was very strange - the entrance of their tombs was not completely closed, but connected with the gaps between the stones of the outside world, which was different from all other tombs in ancient times.

The entrance to this kind of tomb is usually opened at the bottom of some lakes, and after these lakes dry up, there will be a strange phenomenon above these lakes - that is, on foggy days, you can see that above these dry stone pits, there is no fog, as if a special cover covers them.

As long as you uncover a layer of the stones at the bottom of these lakes, you can see the tombs, and for some reason, from the mouths of these tombs, an unusually steady air flow blows out from the cracks in the stones and blows straight to the top of the lake.

In addition to the structure of this kind of tomb is very special, but the inside is very simple, there is only one or a few stone coffins, with very few burial goods, generally only a few strangely shaped pottery, and from the simple text on the wall of the tomb, it can be judged that these are the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period.

As for why there were such a number of strange burial methods in the Spring and Autumn Period, until now, the academic community has not studied clearly, and the reason why the kind of stable air flow can be produced in the tomb is even more unclear, and this strange burial method only appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has never appeared before and since.

What's even more strange is that the stone pit above this ancient tomb, at noon, under the illumination of the sun, will project a few words on a certain stone, as for the content of the words, it is completely unrecognizable, those words seem to be golden scripts, but they are not, it should be a kind of ancient characters that have disappeared. Why is this kind of projected text not the same type as the text in the tomb? This is also inconclusive in the academic community.

According to what I know, so, at twelve o'clock at noon, I quickly observed the shadows on the surrounding stones, but I didn't expect to really find a font, but those six characters are all standard regular script, so the age is definitely not too far away. ”

My cousin's complicated reasoning process and rich background knowledge made me dizzy, but I basically understood what he meant.
