Chapter 140: Imjin

Imjin County as a small city with a population of only more than 200,000 people, because of the close to the water and famous, there are human beings living here in the pre-Qin period, from the Sui Kaihuang nine years (AD 539) has been the county, the state of governance, is an important economic and political center of the water, just because of the development of the waterway transport industry, here has a glorious past, the county name of a Jin character is to show that this place has been a long-term existence as a water and land hub.

However, the past has passed, the development of land routes, the emergence of trains, so that this place gradually declined, the traffic has become sparsely populated, lack of industrial base and development opportunities, now most of the young people in the city have gone out to work, only the elderly and children are left at home, quietly accompanied by the flowing river, accompanied by this small city with a history of more than 2,000 years.

This is the construction site of the inpatient building of Imjin County Hospital, the site is bustling, all kinds of construction machinery have entered the site, and they are busy working, because the population is small and the economy is underdeveloped. The hospital has not been able to develop, and will be working in several dilapidated buildings, this time determined to build a 16-storey inpatient building, is digging deep foundations, the building is said to be repaired to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8, a gale of magnitude 10 without falling. It will become a landmark building in Imjin Prefecture.

The whole construction site all kinds of roaring, excavators are constantly digging and carrying the soil, Wang is an excavator driver, hard work for ten years and finally took out a loan to buy a excavator of his own, the baby is like something, every day to sleep on it can not come down, this time he brought an apprentice, finally he can be a little lazy, but the young man is rough after all, Lao Wang is not at ease or staring at the side, afraid that something will happen to his excavator.

Lighting a cigarette, Lao Wang began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, "Now there are many projects, the money is easy to earn, my Komatsu excavator has a lot of strength, digging a lot, the bosses like to find me, it seems that the loan can be paid off soon", before Lao Wang finished thinking about it, only heard a "click", Lao Wang's excavator did not move.

Although there are various sounds on the scene, Lao Wang still hears this sound very clearly, this is the sound of the shovel digging into the hard object, some projects are not arranged in advance, or the driver is not proficient, when digging various pipelines underground, it is often this kind of sound, digging the shovel is a trivial matter, digging up the water pipe or other to compensate and delay the construction period is a big trouble, Lao Wang anxiously shouted: "Don't dig, don't dig, there is something underneath."

So the excavators stopped, and everyone stepped forward to watch, and under the shovel of the excavator seemed to be some kind of wood fragment, black and unrecognizable, and there was a nail of unknown material scattered next to it, as long as an adult's forearm, like a short sword and a dagger. It seems that it was originally inserted in the wood, but now the wood has been dug up, and the nails are scattered, looking at this shape, this way, a thought flashed in everyone's minds: "This is a coffin"!

A person next to him said: "There is no one's ancestral grave buried here in this vicinity, this land was originally prepared for new repair after the hospital house was demolished, this coffin will not be an ancient tomb." As he spoke, his voice became smaller, you must know that the most afraid of doing the project is to dig up the ancient tomb, as soon as the ancient tomb and cultural relics bureau will block the site and carry out protective excavation, no one knows when the project can be continued, delaying the construction period, greatly affecting the construction, and even a construction team in order not to let people know and secretly dispose of the ancient tomb.

The person in charge of the project stared at the coffin and thought, "If it is an ownerless lonely grave, it will be dug if it is dug, and it is a big deal to change the place to bury him, if it is really an ancient tomb, no one can afford to bear the charge of destroying cultural relics!" Looking at this dug coffin, I don't know what else is buried next to it, there seems to be a black liquid slowly leaking out of the gap, when everyone is not paying attention, the cloudless clear sky suddenly becomes cloudy, the day of June, the child's face, say that it will change, and it may soon usher in a storm baptism.

Looking at the bad weather that might rain, the project leader took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Call the police!" Tell the police that the ancient tomb may be found at the construction site, and ask them to invite professionals from the Cultural Relics Bureau. Lao Wang, you protect the scene, I'll report the situation to the boss" After speaking, he stomped his feet and left the scene and called the boss.

Lao Wang looked helpless, his excavator dug out the ancient tomb, I don't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, now the police are coming soon, the project is going to stop, the excavator is still on the ancient tomb!

The young man on the excavator came back to his senses, immediately engined it, and prepared to put on the reverse gear and prepare to leave the ancient tomb. The sound of the rumbling engine sounded, the excavator slowly retreated, I don't know if it was because of the recent rain too much land slippery, or the excavator was too deep, half a day did not move a minute, the young man anxiously stepped on the accelerator, a burst of black smoke straight up, the excavator was like a wild horse that moved up, as if destroying some kind of balance, only to hear a "bang", the whole land fell, the true face of the ancient tomb was finally completely exposed to the eyes of the world.

It was a huge coffin, at least four times the size of a normal coffin, and there were no burial animals or gold, silver, jewelry, pots and pans, or bones of various burial animals. Just a huge coffin, black and can't tell what kind of wood it is made of, it is densely nailed with short nails that have just been dug out, forming a strange and regular pattern, the only imperfection is that the excavator just dug in the center, digging out a big hole, so that the whole pattern is not complete. The visible hole appears to have a black liquid flowing out, spreading in all directions, blackening large swaths of the land.

The weather is getting worse and worse, the dark clouds seem to be pressed overhead, the air seems to be thick, the rumbling thunder sounded in the sky, it seems that the rainstorm is coming soon, no one dares to step forward to see what is in the coffin, only feel that the black liquid is viscous but the flow speed is fast, and immediately a big pit is flowing everywhere is this black thing, as if it has some kind of command, the dark clouds began to move slowly, faster and faster, faster and faster, forming a huge whirlpool, the center of the whirlpool is the position of the coffin, this black liquid seems to have spirituality, I don't know if it is an illusion, everyone feels that the black liquid is trembling with the rotation of the dark clouds, and there seems to be a wonderful resonance between the two.

This resonance immediately reached the limit, everything happened between the electric light and flint, only to hear a loud bang, like a sharp sword cutting through the sky, the shining arc, from the dark clouds and whirlpools all the way down, directly split the coffin, without waiting for everyone to react, the coffin has already burned a raging fire, the black liquid is like some kind of accelerant, the fire burned more vigorously, the fire is reflected on everyone's faces, shining a variety of confused expressions, but there seems to be no temperature, people can't feel the heat, copper coin-sized raindrops hit everyone's faces, sentWith the sound of "popping", the heavy rain finally fell.

Of course, Zhang Qiao didn't see this fantasy scene, everything was spread by various gossip news disseminators, each of them said that there was a nose and eyes, some said that there was a beautiful ancient corpse similar to Mrs. Xin Chai inside, the corpse had not yet decayed, and it was dug up to lifelike, and some said that there were a lot of gold and silver antiques in it, but all of them
