In the early morning of midsummer, Yongxing City.

The ancient gate of the Antiquities Management Office opened with a series of heavy crunks!

A flat-headed guy with a medium-sized, Chinese-character face, sword eyebrows and thin lips, a faint sense of righteousness between his eyebrows, and a slightly thin body, jumped lightly, stepped out of the threshold full of vicissitudes, and started the daily routine ten-mile morning run, he is Li Fei!

Li Fei has been working in the Cultural Relics Management Office for three years, and he is still a "three-no" person: no house, no car, no deposit, and the Cultural Relics Management Office is his home.

I don't dare to say anything else in the Cultural Relics Management Office, but there are still a lot of books, mainly books related to archaeology, Li Fei was fascinated at a glance, except for making too little money, otherwise it is really a good job.

Out of the need for study, Li Fei not only likes to read domestic literature, but also often looks for original documents from all over the world.

When Li Fei was holding an ancient book and reading it in a fascination, the voice of deputy director Tian Qing came, "Little Lizi, come to my office." ”

Li Fei hurriedly put down the book, walked into Tian Qing's office gently, and stood aside waiting for Tian Qing's further instructions.

Tian Qing took a sip of tea, leaned back in the boss's chair, and said with a happy face: "There is a task, recently the masses reported that there are tomb robbers digging ancient tombs near the east side of Tanggula Mountain, and we want to organize a rescue excavation." You go and contact the local heritage management office and write a report, as soon as possible!"

Li Fei then exited Tian Qing's office, closed the door by the way, and returned to his desk to prepare the report and confirmation of relevant information.

Three days later, the team in charge of Tian Qing was established, with Jia Chongzhi, a senior expert in the cultural relics and archaeology department, as well as Li Fei and Zhao Ming, the driver, a total of four people.

Early the next morning, the four-person team set off in a passenger truck, not to mention the bumps and hardships along the way, and encountered a lot of trouble along the way, and the tires were punctured twice. However, everyone had already anticipated these difficulties before leaving, and Zhao Ming could handle them.

During a break, Li Fei saw that Jia Lao and Tian Qing were chatting happily, and took the opportunity to ask: "Jia Lao, do you say that it is possible that this time it is possible that it is the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty?" Because this place is extremely remote, and the Yuan Dynasty has been more active in this area in history, Li Fei asked as a matter of course.

"Xiao Li's idea has some truth, but it's hard to say if you don't go to the scene to see it. Judging from the geographical location alone, there should be no mausoleums of important people in this place. Jia Lao said with a smile.

After dealing with the car's fault, the group continued on the road.

At noon, the group finally arrived in Gemu County. After further understanding the situation, the local Lao He received everyone, and after learning more about the situation, he decided to rest for an afternoon, prepare some necessary items, and go to the scene to investigate the next day.

There was nothing to say all night, everyone got up early, and after cleaning up, the team officially started, and today's team has grown again, in addition to the original four-person team, there are two more people: Lao He and a young man Song He.

Two hours later, the group arrived at a small village called Mochizuki. There are only about a dozen households in this village, and there is nothing special about it, even if it does not match the name of the village, it is just that it is called this name according to ancient legends.

At the entrance of the village, two village guides had been waiting for a long time, leading four strong yaks, and they had to rely on them to carry tools and supplies on the road behind.

After a brief introduction, the two guides turned out to be brothers, the elder brother was called Xiang Shan, and the younger brother was called Xiang He. This time, it was discovered that someone was digging up the ancient tomb, and it was the two of them who found it. Under the command of Li Fei, he began to carry luggage and tools, and then tied them all to the back of the yak and headed into the mountains.

After more than an hour, although the road was more difficult, with the two brothers leading the way, there were no major twists and turns, and everyone arrived at the destination smoothly.

After some preliminary inspection, everyone's faces were not very good-looking. Running all the way, it was past noon at this time, everyone was tired and hungry, ready to solve the problem of food and clothing first, and then consider the next move.

After lunch, Tian Qing was the first to break the silence and asked Jia Lao, "What do you think, and how likely is it that there is an ancient tomb here?"

Jia Lao slowly nibbled on a piece of bread, looked at the peak, was silent for a long time, and when the bread was finished, he stood up and said a nonsensical word: "This mountain peak is very strange, as if the peak has been cut off for nothing." ”

Everyone was a little stunned at first, but soon understood that because the mountain has no peaks, the terrain here is not good, that is, it is more likely that there are no ancient tombs. As soon as the topic opened, everyone began to talk about it, and they all felt that Jia Lao's statement was reasonable.

After some discussion, everyone's mood was a little low, because anyone who ran so far found that it was likely to run in vain, and they would not be in a good mood.

At the critical moment, Tian Qing calmed down, clapped his hands and said: "Don't be discouraged, since you are here, you have to check it carefully, maybe there will be other gains." Besides, tomb robbers are not stupid, and they can dig here, so they will be somewhat sure. ”

As soon as Tian Qing said this, everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized again, because powerful tomb robbers are no worse than professional archaeologists, and they will not be untargeted.

Then, everyone started to act. As young people, Li Fei and Song He were given the most important job - to explore the cave first!

The two men were fully armed: oxygen meter, helmet, gas mask, headlamp, flashlight, walkie-talkie, ventilation hose, rescue rope, camera, small shovel, etc.

Just as Li Fei and Song He were about to enter the thief cave, the sky suddenly darkened, and I don't know when it opened, and the dark and dull dark clouds swept the clear sky before! The low dark clouds pressed on everyone's hearts, which made people depressed and irritated......

In order to find out the situation as soon as possible, with the blessing of everyone, Li Fei and Song He entered the black thief cave one after another!

The robbery cave sloped all the way down, but it was not difficult to walk, Li Fei speculated that the strength of this group of tomb robbers should be good, otherwise the robbery cave would not be so spacious. The two groped for dozens of feet, still not seeing the end.

After about ten zhang of progress, Li Fei suddenly raised his hand to signal to stop advancing, and said nervously: "There is a situation! A few zhang ahead, there seems to be a hole in the left cave wall, and there is an arm stretched out outside the cave!"

Song He hurried a few steps, stood side by side with Li Fei, and also shone a flashlight, exclaiming: "There is indeed someone lying on the ground!

Through the walkie-talkie, after Tian Qing understood the situation, he instructed: "Please further verify the situation, and if there is any danger, exit immediately!"

Song He moved back a little tremblingly, and shouted a little weakly: "Is there anyone inside......? Because of the small space in the thief cave and the strange atmosphere, Li Fei and Song He both felt a tightness in their chests......

After a while, Li Fei saw that there was no reaction, he exhaled a long breath, and said cautiously: "Song He, for safety, we must keep a distance between us, so that we can retreat in time, and pay attention to the instructions of the oxygen meter!"

Song He wiped his sweat nervously, panted and said, "Okay...... I'll be careful, you have to be very careful up front......"

The two cautiously walked a few more feet. Li Fei found that there was indeed another thief hole, a man in a green shirt, lying face down on the ground!

Li Fei called a few times, and when he saw that the other party did not respond, he probed with his hand and found that this person had been dead for a long time, and his body was stiff!

At this time, Song He also rushed over from behind, and he didn't seem to be as scared as before, turned the man over with the handle of the shovel, and suddenly exclaimed, "Uh...... Blind ......"

Li Fei clenched his fists and interrupted: "Don't make a fuss! People are dead, what's so terrible! We are engaged in archaeology, and we have seen more dead people." ”

Song He was still shocked and said, "I'm not afraid of this dead man, but speculate...... Presumably he had seen something terrible......"

After being silent for a while, Li Fei briefly reported the situation and then sighed: "In addition to being curious, those who do our job must also be bold! We should believe in science, even if there are things that science can't explain, it's just because science hasn't developed to that point." ”

Song He said a little embarrassedly: "Hearing you say the word 'science', I suddenly feel that my whole body is full of strength, and I am not afraid of anything! Let's go, let's continue!"

Li Fei nodded, discussed with Song He, ignored the hole on the side, and continued to explore straight forward.

The two of them didn't go far before they found something strange - the robbery hole was no longer excavated in a straight line, but in an arc to the left!

After advancing some distance, a strange guess formed in Li Fei's heart: "I don't know for what reason, the tomb robbers started from the forked place, and instead of digging in a straight line, they were digging in circles!

Thinking of this possibility, Li Fei broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't tell Song He what he thought, and the two continued to explore.

A moment later, Li Fei found that not far ahead, a half-foot-long crack appeared in the wall on the right side.

It is not surprising that there are cracks in the robbery hole, because although the hole dug by the tomb robbers is still relatively large, it is also full of pits, so Li Fei didn't care.

But when passing through the crack, Li Fei suddenly felt a small yin wind blowing, and when he shone it with his headlamp, he found that there was a relatively large space inside.

As the exploration progressed, the later route completely fulfilled Li Fei's guess, and a group of unlucky tomb robbers really dug up a "Q" word!

Because Li Fei and Song He found four more corpses in the cave, all of them had no external injuries, and the posture of the fall seemed to be out of strength and fear to death!

After the initial completion of the task, Li Fei and Song He did not dare to delay and quickly retreated. As soon as they came out, both of them were exhausted, and they were nervous, and their clothes were all soaked, so they threw away their gas masks and gasped for breath......

After resting for a while, Li Fei reported the situation he encountered inside to everyone, and everyone decided to call the police first, let the police deal with it first, and then continue to explore the mysterious space.

As an archaeological researcher, the dead are definitely not afraid, but that refers to the corpses in the normal ancient tombs, and now it is suddenly found that five tomb robbers died in the robbery hole, and the way of death is still so weird, and the mysterious "Q" word robbery hole is full of unknown horror, so everyone is full of doubts and some worries.

Of course, there is also something that makes everyone happy, that is, the weather has inexplicably improved, and the sky has returned to a clear sky.

Li Fei experienced this exploration, and also had his own analysis in his heart, thinking that although the death method of the five tomb robbers just discovered was strange, at least it could be seen that he did not die from the blow of a foreign object, and there was no sign of suffocation or poisoning, and it was probably due to mental reasons.

In the end, Li Fei shook his head, no longer thinking about the cause of the tomb robber's death, and thought: "Maybe tomorrow, everything will be revealed." ”
