Section 13 Underground Ancient Temples

The night was full of nightmares, and the next morning I was awakened by a terrifying roar, and it turned out that a team member was curious to tear off the cloth on the head of a missing team member who was evil!

Everyone ran out of the camp in surprise, Professor Wang reprimanded the team member, and immediately continued to blindfold the cloth, and the evil team members settled down.

Professor Wang continued to scold the archaeological team member from Shandong: "Are you engaged in archaeological work, do you know that curiosity kills people? Go back to your camp if there is nothing to do, and don't come to make trouble for me!"

The team member was scolded by Professor Wang like this, and left our camp with an unhappy face, which is really a virtue that does not know whether to live or die.

The captain of the Shandong archaeological rescue team immediately came over with a smile on his face to apologize, desperately comforting Professor Wang, and soon the captain of the Beijing archaeological rescue team also came to our camp, and the three captains entered the camp tent for a short meeting to discuss the next plan.

I rubbed my eyes, looked at the body of the team member they killed yesterday on the wooden board, and then looked at the injured team member who was tied to the side and sat on the ground, I think our rescue mission should be successfully over, hurry up and get out of this hellish place, I don't know what other terrible things will happen in the future.

The little girl from the Beijing archaeological team also came to our camp, brought some pastries to the three of us, and sat in our tent and chatted with us.

Her mood has completely stabilized, and she said happily to us: "Thank you so much last night, the archaeological team members of your Shanghai Research Institute are really amazing, and they subdued these two zombies in a few clicks!"

Chen Liang coughed and corrected: "This female comrade, that is our colleague, and she is also a member of the archaeological team, how can you call them zombies!"

The girl's name is Wu Caixia, a research institute at Peking University, the same age as me, and she looks pretty good! She smiled and said: "Oh, I know! I really scared us last night, I have also followed the archaeological team to many places, and I have never seen such a terrifying scene! This place is really weird, is there really a ghost in and out, otherwise how could they have hit the ghost and hit the wall, and they haven't come to their senses for so long!"

Wen Yuan said calmly: "Well, the general situation will not last so long! I heard the corpse chaser in my hometown of Xiangxi once said that the ghost that can last for such a long time is either because he drank something that should not be drunk, or he fell into a strange evil spell, or he was really possessed by a ghost and refused to leave!"

Wu Caixia shuddered all over her body when she heard this, and pleaded: "Big brother, please don't say it, besides, I'm going to be scared and can't move again!"

Wen Yuan nodded, he looked at Xianyun, and then said to me: "Uncle, our rescue mission has also been completed, we should be able to go back to Shanghai directly, right?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know yet, everything has to be arranged by the leader, we are here this time mainly to rescue these three missing team members, but it is not ruled out that Professor Wang has other tasks to do!"

Chen Liang started to get energetic again at this time, and he said very happily: "We haven't been to that temple yet, since we have come here, we must definitely take a look!"

Well, the stunned words will always work from time to time, and sure enough, Professor Wang began to shout outside to assemble!

The three of them finally made a decision, arranging for two team members to send the injured team members and corpses away, while the others continued to conduct archaeological exploration of the ancient temple, hoping to crack the secrets!

Curiosity kills people, and this sentence will not be false for 10,000 years.

Sometimes I really admire these archaeologists, who seem to be not afraid of death in order to find out the truth, even if something happens to someone in front of them, it does not scare their curiosity.

Later, the archaeological teams of our three places united into a team, and because Professor Wang seemed the calmest and most meritorious in what happened last night, Professor Wang was the captain of this archaeological team! Wu Caixia and the other three male team members were responsible for guarding the camp, and the others followed the team west into the deep forest to explore the mysterious ancient temple underground!

The Shanghai archaeological team has never had much prestige in the industry, and this time Professor Wang can be regarded as earning enough face for the Shanghai Institute of Cultural Relics, so he wants to lead the continuation of archaeology for a purpose, all in order to bring higher achievements to the institute!

There is no way, our Shanghai archaeological team has become the main force, and everyone collectively went to the temple, and I am very speechless about this.

When I heard that someone was going to stay and guard the camp, I was overjoyed and wanted to fight for the opportunity to stay, but apparently Professor Wang didn't let me get my wish.

Our group set out quickly, each armed with an iron pipe, and walked into the woods on the west side.

On such a sunny day, it was hot outside, but strangely enough, after coming to the forest, the temperature here suddenly dropped a lot, and there was an eerie scene all around.

I followed the back of the group from a distance, and my body involuntarily made several cold meals, and the fear in my heart made me want to escape!

Wen Yuan quickly saw my thoughts, and said to me with a smile: "Don't be afraid, uncle, with me here, it's okay for us to go and see, and I guarantee that you won't have any accidents!"

Wen Yuan's words have always been so comfortable, I quickly calmed down, and said to him with a smile: "You kid, you must have practiced, otherwise how could your skills be so good!"

At this time, Zhang Xianyun, who had always rarely spoken, opened his mouth and said: "Uncle, Brother Yuan is very skilled, don't worry!"

It seems that Zhang Xianyun obviously knows him very well, I frowned and looked at the two of them, there was an indescribable feeling.

After walking for about an hour, we finally arrived at the boundary of this newly excavated ancient temple, there was a clearing in the forest in the distance, a huge hole had been dug in the ground, and the entrance of the temple seemed to be under the hole!

More than a dozen team members began to unpack their backpacks next to the entrance of the cave, and they took out their tools and equipment one after another, ready to go down the cave and enter the ancient temple immediately!

I walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, stared at a horizontal stone on the ground, crouched down and began to study it carefully.

Professor Wang saw that I hadn't gotten up for a long time, so he came over and asked, "What's wrong Xiao Feng, have you noticed anything unusual?"

There are several very strange runes engraved on the horizontal stone, and two of the symbols seem to look familiar!

I immediately stretched out my hand and said, "Professor Wang, don't let anyone go down into the cave and enter the temple first, and then we'll talk about it after I'm done, we have to be cautious!"

"Okay!" Professor Wang seemed to be very satisfied with my approach, he turned to everyone and shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, stay in place first, everyone obeys the command, it is a matter of your own health and life, this is not a joke!"

Hearing Professor Wang's explanation, several members of the archaeological team who had just walked into the cave had to retreat to the ground, waiting for Professor Wang's new instructions.

Wen Yuan also leaned on my side and looked at the horizontal stone carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he asked, "Uncle, the words on this stone seem a little strange, it can't be some kind of spell, right?"

Professor Wang's ears were extremely keen, and as soon as he heard the two words of the incantation, he immediately came over and squatted down, and also looked at the words on the horizontal stone seriously.

Professor Wang has high qualifications in the Shanghai Institute of Cultural Relics, and his knowledge in all aspects is relatively comprehensive, and he naturally understands a lot of this Western Zhou oracle bone inscription!

Unconsciously, Professor Wang began to recite the pronunciation of the words on the horizontal stone: "Goo, Na Mingde......"

I immediately stretched out my hand to stop him, and said anxiously, "Don't say it out loud, just think about it in your heart!

Professor Wang immediately stopped, nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense! Xiao Feng still has a few brushes, he is calm and unhurried, he has potential, so let's work hard!"

After listening to our conversation, several members of the archaeological team on the other side began to muttered in private: "Cut, it's so mysterious, it's just like the real thing, and it's a spell!

I'm a person, I've never had an argument with others because of a few words, and I can't help it if they don't think so, after all, this ancient thing has been lost, and there is no scientific basis at all. It's just that because some of the players are injured and behave very abnormally, everything must be done carefully, what if these spells are to blame?

Soon I wrote down the runes, just one sentence, and asked my colleagues from the Shanghai Research Institute to take the digital camera we had brought and take pictures of Hengshi.

After the shooting, I flipped through the photos and checked them, and the pictures were very clear, and there was no strange phenomenon that the legend said that I could only take pictures of stones and not words!

I think I'm really a little superstitious, so I have to worry about the rumored bizarre things first!

After finishing it, I said: "This is indeed the oracle bone inscription of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, which is what the industry calls Jin Wen, or Zhong Ding Wen!"

Obviously, everyone understands this kind of knowledge, and several of the team members pouted at me disdainfully, and they were disgusted with me.

Seeing that everyone's mood was a little dissatisfied, I had to nod to Professor Wang, and finally Professor Wang began to order everyone to take turns to enter the temple, leaving three people to guard the entrance of the cave!

Zhang Xianyun and one of our colleagues in Shanghai, as well as another member of the team from Beijing, the three of them stayed on the ground, and the others went down to the cave in turn to enter the temple!

Although the entrance of the cave is very small, after climbing down from the mud floor at the entrance of the cave, I found that the space inside this temple is very large, and the stone pillar supporting the temple in the middle needs two people to hug to enclose it, such a huge temple scale is not common in the Western Zhou Dynasty!

The temple is very high, and it took half a day to enter the stone floor of the temple, where there is less light, and it is pitch black everywhere, and everyone has turned on the overhead lights they have brought!

There are a total of eighteen stone pillars of the same size in the main hall of the temple, the stone pillars are carved with various runes, and there are several huge bronze tripods placed around them, which should be used for sacrificial burning. Soon someone found a few human bones in the bronze tripod, and they were so frightened that they immediately flashed away!

I shone my flashlight at the innermost part of the hall, where there was a high platform with another even greater bronze tripod on top of it, and on the high platform was a tall stone statue that looked like an ancient wizard!

At the call of Professor Wang, I came to a stone pillar and studied with him to look at these strange inscriptions on the stone pillar, all of which were words used for pronunciation!

I vaguely heard someone reading according to the stone pillar, and I immediately heard the sound to look at it, but I saw something terrible!

That damn member of the Shandong archaeological team ignored my warning, and even read the runes on the stone pillar very conspicuously! And Chen Liang, who was standing behind him, I felt that something was obviously wrong with him, he lowered his head, his breathing became very uncoordinated, and his hands twitched from time to time.

I had a very ominous premonition, and immediately pulled Professor Wang and motioned for him to look over there.

Professor Wang had a fiery temper, and seeing that the cave team members were still reading, he waved his hand and threw the flashlight in his hand at him.

The sound immediately alarmed Chen Liang, and he suddenly raised his head and turned to look at us, and sure enough, it was a pair of miserable white eyes, with no black traces at all!

Wen Yuan hurriedly took out a strip of cloth from his body, rushed over directly and pressed Chen Liang to the ground, blindfolding him directly with the strip of cloth!

The members of the cave were so frightened that they couldn't say a word when they sat up straight!

Professor Wang rushed over and scolded directly: "You TM is sick, you know the pronunciation of runes, and the more you read it, the more energetic you become! See, Chen Liang was harmed by you and hit again, if you can't cure your TM, you will have to take care of him for the rest of his life!"

The team member didn't dare to make a sound at all, he got up from the ground trembling all over, looked at Chen Liang very scared, and then walked towards the entrance of the cave with another team member!

Professor Wang shouted at everyone: "Everyone listen, from now on, no one is allowed to make a sound, no one is allowed to read the words on the stone pillar, all of them are for me to retreat to the position where the cave entrance comes in and stand by! Once any other abnormal situation occurs, everyone will immediately retreat to the ground!"

The lesson of iron made everyone dare not slack off, and everyone gathered at the location of the cave entrance to stand by, leaving only me, Wen Yuan, and Professor Wang to continue to inspect the stone pillar!

Suddenly, Wen Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, look, the runes on each stone pillar are exactly the same!"

Wen Yuan's hint surprised me very much, I hurriedly changed the four stone pillars and checked them again, and sure enough, the runes burned on them were all exactly the same!

I instantly understood the meaning, this temple has been cursed by others, and they deliberately carved these spells on the stone pillars, the purpose is to attract others to recite them, so that if someone next to them will be hit, and then they will bite each other and die and hurt!

I hurriedly grabbed the camera around my neck and asked everyone to illuminate one of the stone pillars with the light, and then took a picture of the whole body of the stone pillar!

After checking the effect of the photos, I immediately pleaded with Professor Wang, "Professor Wang, this temple has been cursed, it is too dangerous here, I don't know what other dangerous things are in it! Let's get out of here and don't take any more risks!"

Obviously, Professor Wang was also frightened by the scene just now, and once he was under the curse, he didn't know if he could be cured! Those few lying in the hospital were still frantically biting things on the hospital bed!

Professor Wang immediately turned around and motioned for everyone to retreat slowly, hoping to leave safely and no longer disturb all the souls here!

Soon we came to the ground, Chen Liang had been tied up with a rope and lay aside, everyone was so frightened that their faces were pale, and no one dared to speak!

After coming to the ground, I picked up the camera again and looked at the words on the stone pillar carefully, observed it for a while and said: "Professor Wang is not right, these words are the words of the Shang Dynasty, I am afraid that this temple was built during the Shang Dynasty!"

"No!" Professor Wang walked over in disbelief, picked up the camera and looked at it carefully: "Oh, it's really! This is a bit strange, but the font of this horizontal stone is obviously the golden script of the Western Zhou Dynasty!"

I went back to the position of the horizontal stone that I threw aside, and motioned for a few team members to turn the horizontal stone over, but the back of the horizontal stone was full of mud and I couldn't see anything. I reached for a brush and brushed all the dirt off, and sure enough, there was other text engraved on the back.

I saw that it was densely written with Western Zhou Dynasty golden inscriptions, which roughly meant: "The ghost temple at the end of the Shang Dynasty, killing countless people, this horizontal stone is now set up to warn everyone, and the ghost temple is sunk into the ground, please do not disturb the ghosts in the temple, otherwise there will be a disaster of killing!"

I took my camera again and took a picture of all the words on the back of the crossstone!

Then I said to everyone: "This is the result of not carefully examining the archaeology, and I made a mistake before! In fact, the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty have long set up this horizontal stone to warn, but we are bent on going down to the temple, but we ignore its existence, which has led to today's catastrophe! This temple is a ghost temple, and someone has already cast a heavy spell on him, so we should immediately continue to seal this horizontal stone in the cave and bury the hole completely!"

Professor Wang nodded, and immediately ordered everyone to get busy!

Everyone is afraid of death, and I am also Professor Wang, and what archaeology and what reputation are not worth mentioning compared to life.

Soon the horizontal stone was put back into the inlay on the roof of the temple, and the hole was properly reburied.

After returning to the camp, I looked at the sleeping Chen Liang and felt very uncomfortable, could he only be like this forever in the future?

Suddenly, I remembered the spell on the front of the crossstone, and I decided to give it a try!

Since the mantra was effective for other listeners, I asked Wen Yuan and Xianyun to guard outside, carried Chen Liang into the camp alone, and began to recite that mantra to him!

Obviously there was no effect, Chen Liang was still asleep and unresponsive!

Maybe it didn't work because he couldn't hear it when he slept, right? So I boldly tore off the strip of cloth that blindfolded him, and Chen Liang immediately opened his mouth to tear me up with his big eyes and white eyes, but unfortunately his hands and feet were tied up with flowers, and he couldn't move!

I closed my eyes again and recited the mantra, but unexpectedly, Chen Liang suddenly became very uncomfortable, rolling around on the ground frantically, it seemed that the spell had stimulated him, obviously it had some effect! I was a little nervous just now, there should be two symbols whose pronunciation is not very standard! So I continued to recite the mantra on the horizontal stone seriously, this time it was 100% regular.

At this time, a miracle happened, I just watched Chen Liang's big white eyes like that, rolled out black eyes with a swish, and then stared at me with a wink!

But he still didn't speak, and I asked tentatively, "Chen Liang, how are you feeling?"

Who knew that Chen Liang scolded with his head and face: "What do you mean, why are you tying me up and having an enmity with me?"

At this time, there were countless footsteps outside the tent, probably Chen Liang's roar just now attracted everyone's attention, and they rushed to check it out!

I immediately untied Chen Liang and took him out of the tent with me!

When everyone saw Chen Liangguang walking out with his hands in his hands, they were immediately frightened and flashed into the distance!

Chen Liang looked at everyone very strangely, and said angrily: "You are all sick, Lao Tzu is a ghost, I am so scared that you run so far, am I so terrifying?"

Professor Wang hurriedly pulled me aside, pointed at Chen Liang and asked, "What's the matter, Xiao Feng, what happened, why did Chen Liang suddenly get better?"

I smiled, took out my camera and said to Professor Wang: "It's the spell on the horizontal stone, no wonder the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty will engrave this spell on it, it turns out that this spell is used to solve the spell!"

Professor Wang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took the camera and began to flip through it! Suddenly, Professor Wang was so frightened that the camera slipped and fell to the ground, and hurriedly called out to me: "Xiao, Xiao Feng, look, I can't find any of those photos you took!

I was so shocked that I grabbed my camera and searched carefully, and sure enough, I couldn't find a single photo of the temple, except for the group photo before we went down the cave!

At this time, my whole body shivered, and an inexplicable sense of fear filled my whole body!

Professor Wang immediately ordered: "Quick, everyone immediately pack up their things and leave, let's get out of here quickly, it's too monster here!"

At this time, I suddenly noticed that Wen Yuan actually lowered his head and snickered slightly, and then he also noticed that I was looking at him, and there was a bit of a trance in his eyes!

This is very different from Wen Yuan, who was very obedient before, this is not like his style, it is really infuriating to be so self-assertive! Who is this Wen Yuan, what secrets does he have, and why do you do this?

I didn't say anything, and then went into the tent to pack up, and that afternoon we left on foot, never to be here again.
