Section 15 Entering the North Mountain

People are tired enough to live one life, and it is good to have no afterlife, so they can save themselves from repeated reincarnation and suffering sins in the future. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I am such a more optimistic person, originally I was content with the status quo, but some cumbersome strange things repeatedly entangled me, so that my life began to become a little different.

Just after the rainstorm, a new archaeological mission was arranged, and it was necessary to excavate the most dangerous tomb of the ghost king in the legend!

I didn't have time to submit my resignation report to the institute, because the institute wanted to actively train Zhong Longqin, and all the archaeological backbones were arranged to the first joint archaeological team, and Zhong Longqin led the team into the mountain to excavate the tomb of the ghost king, and I was one of the people who Wu Sheng named and must participate.

I didn't accept the leader's arrangement, because I wanted to resign immediately, and I didn't want to go to this troubled water, regardless of whether he was a ghost king or a ghost king.

However, Wu Sheng pressured me to participate in this archaeological activity, otherwise he would not sign my resignation. Obviously, this Nima is going to trick us one more time before I leave.

I originally planned to turn my face directly with him, too lazy to pay attention to his barbaric request, but when I saw Professor Wang Qiqi, his old classmate Chen Liang, and the veteran doctor Jia Hesheng and others, I could see from their expectant eyes that they were reluctant to cling to me!

In the end, I relented and decided to accompany them one last time, as if it were the last trip companion.

However, I still did not fully accept the arrangement of the institute, and resolutely resigned from the position of team leader, and only participated in this operation as an ordinary archaeological team member.

Wu Sheng had no choice, so in the end, he had to directly let Zhong Longqin be the captain and Wang Qiqi be the vice captain, which met my stubborn requirements.

If you don't be the captain, you don't want to carry the black pot for Zhong Longqin after the accident, I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, and I won't be such a fool anymore. The most annoying thing in my life is that others take advantage of my kindness to deceive me and use me, which makes me the most angry.

Since I don't need to dispatch the team anymore, a few of us just need to prepare our own food and water, and let Zhong Longqin, the captain, do it, because it has nothing to do with us.

I've never had such an easy time on a business trip to archaeology in history, Wen Yuan and I set off step by step, we don't have to worry about other things, we end up relaxed and happy, I don't have to think about things in my head at all, it's really chic to be an ordinary team member.

We had been to Bishan once before, and that was when we were halfway through the tomb of the Great Wizard Yuncheng, but I had no memory of that at all.

After arriving in Luoyang, I just got off the plane with the team members and felt that something was not quite right here, when I opened the eye of heaven and saw some abnormalities in the airport, I whispered to Wen Yuan: "Wen Yuan, this airport seems to be a little mysterious, there seem to be masters around to do it!"

Wen Yuan replied with a smile: "Yes, uncle, the last time we passed by here, you also told me about it!"

I frowned and asked, "Really? I don't remember at all!"

Wen Yuan nodded, and said in a low voice: "Then Old Lady Guo's magic is really powerful, it seems that the memory of my uncle has indeed been stolen by him!"

I looked at Wen Yuan in a daze, and then looked sideways at Qianqian.

Qianqian's big eyes immediately responded to staring at me, but soon she lowered her head and silently followed the team ahead of the group.

I immediately opened my mouth and called: "Qianqian, don't go so fast, wait for me!"

I know that every mention of Guo Jialiang will evoke her sadness, so I deliberately clinged to her like this, the purpose is to comfort and accompany her.

Qianqian stopped when she heard my shout, and slowly turned around and looked at me stupidly, what a poor little girl, hey!

Zhang Xianyun is still so diligent, he pushed the luggage cart and walked over quickly, putting both of our luggage and backpacks on the car, so that the two of us could walk and chat easily.

I smiled and said to Qianqian: "Qianqian, let's participate in the archaeological operation for the last time, be happy!"

Qianqian seemed to be a little worried, and she asked worriedly: "Xiao Feng, do you think that Zhong Longqin will give us a trick to harm us this time?"

I asked rhetorically, "Why do you say that?"

Qianqian replied: "Last time you were so stiff in the Rogie Mausoleum, she didn't take the opportunity to take revenge on us! You shouldn't have resigned as the captain, so that we can only be at her mercy when we go to the tomb now!"

I smiled and said, "How can it be, when the time comes, we will say that we are afraid that the ghost king will not dare to go to the tomb, just stay at the door of the tomb! Don't be afraid, act when you see the opportunity, I am here!"

Qian Qian smiled slightly after hearing this, and replied very satisfied: "Okay, with you as the old captain, we are not afraid!

Seeing Qianqian laughing, I was relieved, if I like someone, I naturally hope that she can be happy and happy, so it would be good.

Soon we got out of the airport hall, got on a rented bus, and drove straight to the legendary tomb of the ghost king in Bishan.

The Ghost King of Bishan has been circulating among the local folk for a long time, and even people from other places have already heard of it!

Legend has it that the ghost king had led the army to kill countless people during his lifetime, and was buried in the mountains of Bishan after his death, and his soul did not continue the reincarnation of the later generations, but stayed in the Bishan area to be the ghost king of the underworld! The ghost king is the emperor's life, and he was also a generation of emperors in the troubled times before his death, and after his death, he conquered all the ghosts and unified the underworld, becoming the most fierce king of the underworld in the Bishan generation. Although the Ghost King rarely comes out to disturb the people, he will never allow the Yang people to enter the underground of the Bishan Mountains to disturb him! The Ghost King is not only very powerful himself, but what is even more terrifying is that he controls a huge army of underground Yin soldiers! According to legend, these Yin soldiers are all immortal, and the Yang people cannot kill them, and the number of the Yin soldiers army is as high as tens of thousands, making it the most terrifying invincible army in the world.

Due to the large number of Yin soldiers, in order to unify the dispatch of their ghost kings, they imitated the method of governing the army before their deaths, and created a ghost tiger talisman used to dispatch the army of yin soldiers! Legend has it that as long as they can get the ghost tiger talisman, they can directly dispatch tens of thousands of Yin soldiers underground, even if they are allowed to deal with the ghost king directly, these Yin soldiers will still carry out the order!

I don't know why the institute is suddenly interested in the Ghost King's Tomb, knowing that the Ghost King's Tomb is extremely fierce but insisting on going to excavate, I guess I also heard this rumor, and went to find the Ghost Tiger Talisman!

Folklore has a lot of fictional elements, not to mention the authenticity of folklore, if there really is such a ghost tiger talisman that can mobilize tens of thousands of Yin soldiers, then things become very complicated! Who wants to get this ghost tiger talisman?

I thought about it, and finally I thought of Guo Jialiang! Because I am now beginning to realize that Wu Sheng is desperately promoting Zhong Longqin to be the vice captain, and it is entirely possible that he came for this ghost tiger talisman! Only Zhong Longqin is the vice captain, she can move freely in the underground palace of the tomb, so that she can secretly look for the ghost tiger talisman, and this thing will definitely be handed over to Guo Jialiang in the end! Obviously, everything is controlled by Guo Jialiang behind the scenes! At the beginning, Huahe Group cooperated with the Institute of Cultural Relics to set up a joint archaeological team, and as the funder, Huahe Group naturally has the right to intervene in the archaeological project, so that Huahe Group can benefit from it, I think this is Guo Jialiang's real purpose!

Guo Jialiang painstakingly arranged such a scene, is the purpose just to get the ghost and tiger talisman? But the problem is that he himself is also a member of the witch sect, logically speaking, he should know that there are no demons and monsters in this world at all, but why does he still believe that there are really ghosts and tiger talismans in this world? Could it be that the conclusion I made before was not correct? Could it be that there are really ghosts and demons?

I am a 21st century graduate majoring in the study of ancient literature from a scientific point of view, and I should have firmly believed in the denial of ghosts and gods!

But since the beginning of Wu Lao Dao, I have frequently heard people mention the word demon country, maybe the demon country really existed! But I think the so-called demon country is actually the kingdom of people, but the people there are very evil in their hearts, very greedy and crazy, and they are dissatisfied with the same desires as the devil, so they are disgusted and contemptuous by the world and call them the country of the demon race. I've always been a big fan of this explanation, and I think it's still a scary one.

But now it is different from the past, and suddenly the legend of the ghost king that has been circulated among the people is taken out as an archaeological task, obviously this is not groundless, they must have found some relevant clues, otherwise they would not have mobilized a team to excavate.

If the ghost king really exists, it proves that there really is an underworld and many big ghosts and small ghosts in this world, so that it can explain why there are stories of ghosts and ghosts in the people! But I am a little confused, there must be a ghost after death, this is beyond doubt! But what is the difference between ghosts and ghosts, does the so-called ghosts refer to those ghosts who wander all over the world?

Under normal circumstances, the three souls and seven spirits will leave the body after death, fly into the heavens and the earth and wander around unconsciously, in other words, the dead soul is unconsciously unconsciousnessed! If it is said that a ghost is a dead soul, this seems to be a little unreasonable, since there is no consciousness, how can there be such a powerful ghost king, what else can we talk about to unify the underworld and establish an army of hell? Not to mention that there will be no ghost and tiger talismans!

There must be other things I don't know, the world is so big, with my current knowledge and comprehension, this world is still very strange to me, and there are many things that I need to understand and learn!

While I was thinking about these things alone, the bus unconsciously carried us to our destination!

There was only an overgrown barren mountain ahead, so we had to get out of the car and carry our belongings on foot and continue up the mountain to find the tomb of the ghost king.

Although the locals are very familiar with the ghost king, they can tell more than a hundred stories about the ghost king, but when they really ask where the ghost king's tomb is, no one can answer with certainty, they just vaguely point to the north of the mountain, saying that it is under one of the mountains.

Under a certain mountain, the mountain is an extension of the Qinling Mountains, and there are countless large and small mountains, which have to be found one by one, but I am afraid that I may not be able to find it in a few years.

Anyway, I'm not the captain now, so I don't have to worry about finding the tomb.

I didn't hurry to pick up the big backpack, holding Qianqian's little hand and happily following the back of the team, very leisurely while walking with Qianqian to enjoy the surrounding scenery, this mood seems to be as relaxed as traveling with Qianqian.

Wen Yuan also smiled and pulled Liang Jie over, after a period of development, the two of them finally became a couple, and the kid can be regarded as a very honest and serious relationship.

Seeing that they are doing well, as an elder, I have fulfilled my obligations, and I am a little relieved!

I turned my head to Wen Yuan and said, "Wen Yuan, this time I came out for archaeology, did it feel like I was going out to travel?"

Wen Yuan replied with a smile: "Yes, this time it's so easy, don't worry about anything!"

Guo Qianqian smiled and said, "Yo, look at what you said, were you very busy before?"

"That's not it!", Wen Yuan immediately replied: "Look, when this team gets off the car and sets off, what necessary items do they have to carry, how many Luoyang shovels and other tools do they have to bring, those few people lead the team to walk in front, and those few people break behind the team, this is all special and needs to be carefully arranged! Also, especially finding the location of the ancient tomb, this is not an easy matter!"

Guo Qianqian changed the subject, frowned and asked: "You say, is there really a ghost king and the tomb of the ghost king in this mountain? Why do you want to believe in a folk legend, I can't tell if the legend is fake! I didn't carefully survey the terrain through satellite images in advance, so I rushed to visit the tomb on the spot, and this action was too frivolous!"

I sneered and said, "Whatever, they're so powerful, let them do it, anyway, if we can't find the location of the ancient tomb, it won't be our responsibility, just follow us!"

Wen Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle is right, let's be an ordinary team member honestly, and obey the command of the leader and the captain!"

Zhou Yating stood far away in front with a wooden root, and she shouted at us very unhappily: "Hey, what are you four rubbing, no matter how slow you are, you will fall behind, where to find them when you get lost?"

I looked up in a daze, only to find that we were walking too slowly, and the team members had all turned into the side of the mountain and disappeared, leaving only Zhou Yating and Zhang Xianyun standing at the corner waiting for us.

I hurriedly pulled Qianqian and followed quickly, this is an ordinary team member will not lose the team, this is indeed a bit unusual.

After turning the ridge, the team rested in a valley not far away, and it seemed that we had not fallen very far, and in a short time we followed in a hurry.

Zhong Langqin was busy checking the map with Professor Wang Qiqi, and he didn't pay attention to whether we were following behind, looking at their confused expressions, I couldn't help but be a little curious about this place.

A few of us were still sitting at the back of the line, which was the task assigned to me by Zhong Longqin, and she asked us to break off a few of them, so that none of the team members were left behind.

I asked Zhou Yating, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Zhou Yating, why don't you go forward and tell the captain what you think?"

Zhou Yating seemed to be still worried about the unhappiness with Zhong Longqin in the Luo Ji Mausoleum, and she said very indignantly: "What's the matter with me, I care about them!"

...... , Sister Zhou's temper has always been not small, and even her master Zhao Yanyang let her, so she was naturally even more unkind to us. I smiled and said, "Then you can tell us about it, let's get to know ourselves first!"

Zhou Yating said impatiently: "Aren't you able to open the eyes of heaven, why do you want to ask me!"

I looked at her and said, "Aren't you Madame Yanyang's senior disciple, we all want to hear your opinions!"

Zhou Yating glanced at me, stretched out her finger and pointed to a few peaks on the north side and said, "You don't know how to look at it yourself, there is miasma everywhere on the mountain over there, and the yin qi is so heavy, you can know that there are very evil things under the ground at a glance!"

I sneered: "I see, I'm too lazy to look at it, this time I will resolutely not open my eyes, and I will not give them any advice!"

My mentality is naturally in tune with Zhou Yating, and it is incompatible with that Zhong Langqin!

Liang Jie was more curious, she frowned and looked at the location pointed by Zhou Yating, and said in surprise: "Wow, there is really miasma everywhere there, a large area of black pressure! The Ghost King's Tomb still seems to really exist, is it just under the ground of the mountain over there?"

Wen Yuan echoed on the side: "Well, it's entirely possible that the Ghost King's Tomb is there! When Zhang Xianyun and I accompanied my uncle to visit the Great Wizard Yuncheng Underground Palace before, when my uncle was resting in the salt pond, he could see a large miasma on the mountain! Later, after we entered the underground palace, there was really something very evil in it! Now this miasma fills the entire north sky, it seems that this time the things under the ground are even more evil than the last time!"

I was stunned for a moment after listening to it, I have always been curious about this lost memory, I asked Wen Yuan and said, "What? What evil things did you all see in the underground palace of Yuncheng last time, and I have never heard you mention it!"

Wen Yuan looked back at me stunned, hesitated for a moment before he came over and sat beside me, and described very seriously: "The things in the underground palace are very evil, we have never seen them before! Before going to the main tomb, we passed through three tombs and a tomb door, a total of four anti-theft measures!"

As soon as I heard this, I became interested, and asked curiously, "What kind of mechanisms are they, are they amazing, and how did I crack them at the time?"

Wen Yuan looked at me and whispered very cautiously: "The underground palace in Yuncheng is different from other places, these anti-theft measures do not use a single mechanism, all of them are living creatures guarding the tomb of the great wizard!"

As soon as she heard the word living thing, Guo Qianqian was immediately frightened and hid in my arms, and kept blaming Wen Yuan and said: "What are you doing, coming to visit the murderous tomb of the ghost king is already scary enough, you still talk about these things that you have and don't, what kind of living things are not living things, Wen Yuan, shut up!"

...... , I originally wanted to get some details about the Yuncheng Underground Palace from Wen Yuan, but it was rare for Wen Yuan to be willing to speak, but he was disturbed by Guo Qianqian's words.

Wen Yuan touched his head very embarrassed, and said apologetically in a low voice: "I'm sorry little aunt, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said this at this time!"

Zhou Yating stared at me for a few seconds, and then glanced at Guo Qianqian in disgust, got up and walked away directly.

Zhou Yating has always disliked Guo Qianqian very much, probably because she hates her pampered personality, she drills into my arms at every turn, and her timidity is like a mouse, and she is afraid of everything and wants to hide.

In fact, it doesn't matter what evil creatures we have encountered in the Yuncheng Underground Palace, the important thing is that Wen Yuan said that the miasma here is much heavier than that of Yuncheng, which means that we may encounter trouble that we have never encountered before, and this evil thing under the ground may be beyond the imagination of all of us!

If I were the captain, I would immediately call everyone to withdraw immediately after seeing this miasma, so as to avoid causing a tragedy to the archaeological team! But this time it is different, I am just an ordinary member of the archaeological team, and it is not my turn to give orders at this time!

Anyway, a lot of people on the team are old colleagues, and I certainly don't want to watch them die for nothing!

After some inner struggle, I decided to call the director Liu Yunshan, tell him about the situation and danger here, and suggest that he immediately report to the institute and ask the institute to immediately recall the archaeological team and cancel this adventurous archaeological operation!

Although I was still so positive, but things were by no means as I thought, Liu Yunshan quickly called me back, and he comforted me in a serious tone and said: "Hey, Xiao Feng, I told the director all your original words, and I also agree with your decision, and suggest that the director immediately let everyone leave!

After hearing this, I was furious and immediately asked, "Is that what the director said?"

Director Liu smiled and said, "Yes, but don't take it to heart, the director is very suspicious, don't worry about him!"

I replied angrily: "I don't care, what do I have to worry about! As an archaeological team member, I also said what I shouldn't say, and I have also reported the danger at the scene to the institute, which is considered to have fulfilled my duty! As for how the institute decides this, I don't care, anyway, after finding the location of the tomb door, several of us will resolutely not agree to go to the tomb, if any of them want to go down to the tomb, they will go to the tomb themselves, and what happens has nothing to do with us!"

Director Liu was silent for a few seconds, and then whispered to me very cautiously: "Xiao Feng, everyone is a colleague, I can understand your mood and hardships, but the director will not regret what he decides! Otherwise, you don't have to go to the tomb, just stay at the door of the tomb and take care of the colleagues on duty! If there is any accident in the colleague who goes to the tomb, depending on the situation, try to save it if you can, if it is really dangerous, then don't risk going down to the tomb to save people easily, report to the institute immediately and wait for follow-up support!"

It seems that Director Liu told the truth this time, probably because I was about to leave the institute, so there was no need to hide anything from me. Seeing that he said so sincerely, I naturally agreed to his request, after all, this arrangement is relatively good for me!

Of course, I'll say that, but after all, this involves the lives of more than a dozen colleagues of the 1st Joint Archaeological Team, and I should remind the captain anyway!

I didn't go to Zhong Longqin, but called Professor Wang Qiqi, the deputy captain, and told him the actual situation and the conclusion of our analysis.

Professor Wang Qiqi has always trusted me, and we were in danger together in the Shangqiu Ancient Temple, and we can be regarded as old brothers who were born and died together.

Seeing that I had told him so seriously about the situation here, he was convinced of it, and his face was so frightened that there was not a trace of blood. He couldn't wait to gesture to us, turned around and ran over to find Zhong Longqin!

As expected, Zhong Longqin ignored my suggestion and was still stubbornly busy looking for a route into the mountain, it seems that she is determined to get this tomb!

I originally had good intentions, but in exchange for Zhong Longqin's ridicule of me, saying that I would become timid if I was not the captain, and let me honestly follow behind and take care of the team.

At this time, I remembered what Guo Qianqian said in front of me, and the current situation seems to have been told by her, this Zhong Longqin only thinks about going to the grave in her heart, completely ignoring the lives of other people, just like digging a pit for us to collectively go into danger!

But what can I do, I'm not the captain, even if I quarrel with the bell at this time, who will listen to my command?

Under the arrangement of Zhong Longqin, the archaeological team continued to set off, and we had to follow the team to start climbing the mountain on the north side, which is steep and steep, and it is not a place for people to walk at all!

An ominous premonition slowly appeared in my mind, what kind of danger awaited us in front of us, we did not know!
