"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiaoyu said with concern, "If there is something, you can talk slowly." ”

I glanced at her and felt that my throat was so dry that I was almost out of saliva. I turned to the soldier's mother and asked, "It's just the head, isn't it?" ”

The soldier's mother looked at me stunned, and couldn't understand why I suddenly became impatient, but she nodded and said, "But isn't it, it's the first time they've seen this kind of thing when they hear them." ”

Lin Xiaoyu communicated with me: "It should be a burial pit." I shook my head, "It's not that simple, the ancients generally sacrificed slaves and animals, never so many children, fist-sized bones, that's a fetus!" ”

"So what do you think is going on?"

"Do you know the Pocket Skeleton?" I looked at Lin Xiaoyu expectantly, expecting to find answers from her. Lin Xiaoyu thought about it carefully for a long time, but still shook his head, "What's that?" ”

I sighed, "Most of the princely tombs have sacrificial pits, and it is not uncommon to be buried alive. Later, they estimated that it was too bloody, so they began to replace it with human servants. But there are also some people who come up with a name that they don't know what the hall is, saying that they don't need to sacrifice people alive is to offend the ancestral gods, and they are crazy to come up with such a thing as a pocket skeleton! ”

"But what is this pocket skeleton?"

"I only know that it is a kind of witchcraft, which is said to be to throw a pregnant woman into a corpse refining pool to refine into a bloody corpse or a forbidden woman, at this time the child in her womb is conceived in the belly of the bloody corpse, and when the sacrifice comes, those wizards will cut the fetus out of the womb and cut off their heads."

"It's so brutal!"

"But they think that this is just a demonstration of justice, and they can be blessed by God's blessings." I said coldly, "They say that this is to kill demons, and those who kill them are evil sons, and they will not be blamed by people at all, but they will be at ease." ”

"Since ancient times, the emperor's family has done everything, and in order to be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in the underworld, they will not sympathize with these at all, let alone have any compassion."

"Who came up with such a vicious plan?"

I shook my head, "Anyway, it's not going to be a good person." ”

"And what are your plans?" Lin Xiaoyu seemed to see what was on my mind, "You don't want to go and see it?" ”

"Since we must go here, and besides, we are here for this matter, so I'm afraid that we weren't prepared when we came, and I'm afraid it's not easy to go in so rashly."

Lin Xiaoyu also made a difficulty, "Yes, it's quite dangerous to fight like this, why don't we go back and prepare?" ”

"Oh, what are you two going back to prepare?" The soldier's mother came over and said with a smile: "I heard the soldier say that you two are archaeologists, do you want to go to the ancient tomb to see?" I have tools at home, you can take them casually, and the men in our village have been there a lot, although the inside is very evil, but fortunately, there is nothing to do outside, and there is no movement when the big guy passes by. ”

I asked, "So where do people go all the time?" ”

"No, not only the people in our village, but also tourists and treasure hunters like you have also been there, but they just didn't catch anything, and they came back with a bad luck. You two might as well try it, our family is discussing developing this into a tourism project. ”

"Gotta get it, bundle it?"

"Hahaha, let's just make a joke, this is not up to the government, and besides, if it is not good to kill people, we can't afford it."

I hurriedly packed some things from the GI's house: a bundle of safety ropes for climbing, which, according to his mother, had been picked up from under the cliffs in the back mountains, a mason's mason knife, two flashlights, a bag of dry food, and two water bottles. The GI wanted to show me the way, and by the way, I was asked to lead the way, but I refused, saying that the money was not enough, but in fact I was afraid that he would be in danger.

We followed the direction pointed by the GI, passed through the dense forest to the east of the village, and then walked straight along the mountain road to the top of the mountain, and there was a forked road halfway up the mountain, and we could follow the path to the valley behind the mountain.

The fiery sun in the dense forest shone like a sieve, shooting down needle-like rays from the tops of the trees. The dense trees block most of the sunlight, and the inside of the forest is much cooler than the outside. A squirrel scurried up from the high treetops to the ground, picked up a pine ball and hid in the hollow of the tree, its eyes staring at us curiously.

We walked in the dense forest for nearly two hours before we saw a fork in the road on a low cliff, "I guess it's ahead." ”

"Let's rest for a while, and while it's still dark, hurry up and eat something." I handed Lin Xiaoyu a kettle, "There isn't much water, save it." ”

"I know!" As she spoke, she raised her head and drank, but when she finished drinking, she found that there was something wrong with my expression, and she quickly asked a little strange, "What's wrong with you?" ”

I carefully lowered my backpack and whispered, "Don't move!" ”

I tried to gesture to signal Lin Xiaoyu not to move, and then pointed to Lin Xiaoyu's back, basically unable to hear the voice, and said with a mouth shape: "There is a snake!" ”

Lin Xiaoyu also panicked, and subconsciously wanted to run, but I tried my best to stop it, "Don't move, don't move, don't move!" Lin Xiaoyu slowly put down the steps she was about to take, nervously glancing at the movement behind her, I stared into her eyes, slowly shook my head, and made a calm gesture with my hands down, "Trust me, it will be fine!" ”

It was a bamboo-leaf green snake, emerald green, spitting red letters. I pulled a Swiss Army knife from my waist and tried to get the snake's attention.

My action worked, and Zhu Yeqing retracted sharply, coiling on the branch of the tree to gather momentum. I took the opportunity to push Lin Xiaoyu away, and at the same time, the snake on the branch shot down like an arrow that broke through the sky. If I don't pay attention or slow down for a second, I'm doomed.

Lin Xiaoyu rolled on the side, looking at me nervously, she was naturally worried about whether I would be attacked by a snake because of this. The snake in the treetops was gone, she became more and more nervous, and sat up hurriedly, "Li Rui, how are you?" ”

I suddenly shouted, "Don't come here!" The whole person took a few sharp steps back, and almost fell, when a swift green shadow suddenly approached me. Lin Xiaoyu's face turned pale, and his heart was about to rise to his throat. I didn't dare to hesitate, I shook it to the right, and Zhu Yeqing really changed direction, and I took this opportunity to press it seven inches.

"I see you still dare to bite me!"

"It's so dangerous, it really scared me, I didn't expect you to catch even snakes."

"How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and it's always right to have more skills."

"Eat snake food at night!"

"I don't want to, I want to eat you!"

"I eat it, I eat it, but Lao Tzu risked his life to catch it, it's a pity to waste it."

The bonfire illuminates the entire space at one end of the forest, and snakes, insects, rats and ants dare not approach. I roasted the bamboo leaves I just caught on a branch, and said with a smile, "It's so fragrant, do you want to taste it?" ”

"Well, you'd better spare me." Lin Xiaoyu smiled and gnawed on the dry food, "Li Rui, judging from the astrological signs of this place, this place doesn't look like a place with ancient tombs?" From time to time, she looked up at the night sky that had appeared above them, and was a little preoccupied.

"Do you still look at the stars?" I laughed.

"No, I'm just guessing."

"Then you really guessed it, from the perspective of celestial star feng shui, this is indeed not like the best place for ancient tombs, but think about it, what kind of person would have a pocket skeleton to be buried? It's definitely not an ordinary emperor's house, and it can even be said that the one who lives in it may be a pervert who is proficient in feng shui and knows how to reason! ”

"You mean to say that he is suspicious in order to keep people from finding out."

"That's basically what happened, if you think about it, the village was built on top of an ancient tomb, hundreds of years ago, which means that people here don't know that this is an ancient tomb at all, if it weren't for the mudslide, this ancient tomb might never see the light of day."

"There's a lot of truth to what you say!" Lin Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, "Compared to that, there must be a lot of organs inside, and it is very dangerous." ”

I drew a map on the ground and drew a circle in one of the places, "Look at this place, the mountains are south and the water is north, and the black tiger star in the northwest is facing here, and the feng shui is fierce. Most people think that if you go five or six miles further north, that is, the back mountain that the people in the village say, the layout of that place is much better than here, and it should be possible to have holes. I smiled mysteriously, smugly, "But, ah, that place is actually a void, in order to confuse us." You see, this fork goes down, and there is a mountain col in the west, and if you don't go down and look at it, you can't imagine that there is actually a cave below! ”

"How do you know?"

"Hey, you don't understand this, a lot of tomb robbers were familiar with Lao Ji in the past, and I also talked about it when I heard them tell stories, this kind of tomb is very murderous."

"It's horrible." Lin Xiaoyu was surprised.

"So, if you go to the col below the fork in the road, you're the real dragon." I smiled and said, "The owner of this tomb must have been well versed in the way of finding dragon points at least the person who designed this ancient tomb, so he came up with this trick to hide from the sky and the sea, and I guess the tomb in the back mountain is either empty or full of mechanisms." ”

"But this col is very deep, how can we get down if we have the equipment?" Lin Xiaoyu was puzzled, "This rope alone will definitely not work." ”

I also made a difficulty, regretting that I was too carried away just now, and now I am very embarrassed to be at a loss, "Why don't we try to find a way, maybe there are some wild roads taken by people in the mountains, I'm afraid it's not safe when it's dark!" ”

"I have no choice but to give it a try!"

The col below the fork can basically be said to be a canyon, the mountain wall looks like a slope, and there are also mountain people planting some tea trees on it, but you really don't dare to look down when you walk on it, the slope is about 70 degrees, and you can feel the sound of the ground sliding down under your feet when you walk on it.
