Ghost Blows Out the Light

Into the depths of the cave, besides Shirley Yang and I, there were also two militiamen led by the militia platoon leader. We suddenly saw the chain that fell vertically into the pool tremble, and we couldn't help taking a few steps back.

There is no wind in this cave, no waves in the pool, how can such a heavy chain shake out of thin air?Could it be that the thing suspended under the pool by the giant chain is a living thing?What creature needs to be chained with such thick chains?

I glanced at Shirley Yang, she also looked bewildered, and shook her head at me, I thought that I have encountered countless adventures in my life, and I have seen some weird things, but facing this underground pool, and this thick iron I really can't find any clues, but it is related to Professor Sun's whereabouts. I have to take the risk of pulling up the chain to see what's underneath.

At this time, the militiamen began to get nervous. Since ancient times, the land of Sanqin has been a tough folk. For these local peasant militiamen, if they face the enemy with live ammunition, they may not shrink back, but these people, Thousands of years of superstitious thinking is deeply rooted.

In addition, before going down to the crypt, the villagers talked a lot and said everything. We were on the scene, and these militiamen naturally became suspicious when they saw this weird situation.

The platoon leader of the militia said to me: "Chief Qian...no no...Hu...Boss Hu, is there some kind of monster locked in this puddle? It must not be alarmed, otherwise our village will suffer."

The other two militiamen also said: "Yes, yes, I am afraid that the ghosts in the Yellow River are locked up, so don't act rashly, so as not to cause disaster."

I heard the militiamen talking to me in my ears, and my eyes were never idle. I had to find some reason to convince the militiamen, otherwise they would all be scared away, and only Shirley Yang and I would be left.

I looked around. Shibeidian Village is a small basin, not far from the Yellow River. I have never seen the Feng Shui situation. There will never be any noble tombs here. Although the environment here is very good, it can even be said to be It is located in the fairy cave, but there is too much groundwater here, it is impossible for someone to be stupid enough to build a tomb here.

The wide tunnel and the stone house at the end of the tunnel don’t look like tombs. I’m only familiar with ancient tombs, and I don’t know much about other ancient buildings, but the stone bed in the stone house is a bit weird. Ancient tombs There are two kinds of stone beds, one is for placing the coffin of the tomb owner, called "tomb bed", and the other is for displaying artifacts, called "sacred platform". The one in the stone house is more like a place for placing things. The "God Altar".

There is a small cave at the mouth of the pool. It is the end here, and there is no fork in the road. Professor Sun and another archaeological team must have entered this cave, but there is no sign of them here. Could it be that they were attacked? What happened, fell into the pool?

The entire cave has obvious traces of artificial excavation and expansion, and the scale is not very large. Several thick iron chains pass through the roof of the cave and are linked to a rocker in the corner. Obviously, they can be raised and lowered. It seems that the iron chains in the pool can be Pulling it up, I reached out and touched the chain. The inside is indeed iron, but the outer layer is coated with anti-rust paint, which looks dark and dull.

Then I saw that the iron chains that sank into the pool were still shaking slightly. This situation should not be caused by the undercurrents under the pool. Dragon or something?This kind of thing must not be told to those militiamen. I suddenly remembered the words of the blind fortune-teller. Pull up the things in it and find Professor Sun as soon as possible.

So I said to the militiamen with a resolute expression: "Comrades, now is the time for the motherland and the people to test us. The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the fearless revolutionary spirit cannot be lost. Let's work together to remove the chain from the pool. pulled out..."

The militia platoon leader rushed to say to me before I could finish my sentence: "Chief Hu, my big chief Hu, you can't be dragged, you can't be dragged, this chain is tied to the old monster in the Yellow River, it's a terrible wait!" It's a big deal, but don't dare to do it casually."

To be honest, I have no idea, but on the surface, I have to pretend to be calm and calm, and show the feeling of a leader. I said to the militia platoon leader: "Comrade platoon leader, don't you remember what the famous fortune teller said? Is it? The blind man in your village is the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, Liu Bowen, and Zhuge Liang in ancient times. He has known it for 8000 years and [-] years later. He said that this is a fairy cave. I think it is probably true, because I am studying ancient materials. When I saw this kind of description, the thing that fell in the pool must be the censer of the Taishang Laojun who made alchemy, and there was a panacea for immortality and immortality in it. We must have discovered these elixir first. According to international practice, it should...should..."

Internationally, it seems that what rights are given to the discoverer of something discovered by an individual first, but I couldn't remember it for a while, so I quickly asked Shirley Yang: "What is the international practice?"

Shirley Yang said for me: "According to international management, the person who discovers first has the right to name it."

As soon as I heard Guangguan's name, I went on to say to the people: "Comrades, do you understand the naming rights?" I pointed to one of the militiamen: "For example, brother, your name is Li Dazhuang, as long as you want, we will find it. The elixir can be called Da Zhuang elixir. Once the scientific research workers in our country mass-produce this elixir to benefit the people, we will be considered as a great contribution to the party and the people. In addition, the most important thing is, first come first served, we The five people discovered it first, so everyone can try a few pills first, and I will make the final decision on this matter.”

The three militiamen made me dizzy from talking. The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. When one was on the top, they believed everything the blind man said. Who wouldn't want to take a handful of the elixir of immortality, but there is still a worry that has not been eliminated. Since the iron chain is hanging from the Taishang Laojun Dan furnace, why does the iron chain shake from time to time?

I secretly thought something was wrong, the night was long and dreamy, and if I let these militiamen guess wildly, my lie would not be true: "Why does this iron chain move? Yes, it moves because... because of the elixir in the furnace Do you think that this kind of elixir that can make you live forever and cure all diseases is like the traditional Chinese medicine pills, black and smelly? Every elixir has spirituality, after all, it is not an ordinary thing in the world."

After hearing my words, the militiamen nodded repeatedly, thinking that it made sense. It seemed that the thing tied to the chain was not some ghost in the Yellow River, but must be the alchemy furnace of the Supreme Lord. They all rolled up their sleeves and prepared to attack.

The platoon leader of the militia suddenly thought of something, walked up to me, and whispered a few words into my ear. After hearing this, I smiled and said to him: "Comrade platoon leader, don't worry, there are no diseases that cannot be cured by magic medicines." , as far as your matter is concerned, this elixir is dedicated to treating yang, not lifting it, not firm, not shooting for a long time, not sticking, not thick, not too much, not..."

The other two militiamen laughed loudly when they were listening, making the militia platoon leader blush a little, and shouted at the two men: "What are you laughing like? Hurry up and work."

Shirley Yang felt a little unsafe, and said to me in a low voice: "Old Hu, I think the things tied in the pool by iron chains seem to be some living things, so they are pulled out so recklessly, isn't it... "

While the militiamen were going to turn the reel, I said to Shirley Yang: "Can't you trust me? Don't worry, I, like you, have only one life. How can we make fun of our safety? I've seen this There are many situations and qi, and I have never seen it. Looking at the feng shui situation here, I dare to guarantee that there will never be any ancient tombs, so don’t worry about zongzi, and the natural environment here is unique, and it is not a deep mountain or old forest. , it is expected that there will not be any vicious beasts, even if there are, they will be tied with iron chains, and we have rifles for self-defense, so what are we afraid of? If Professor Sun is below, we will not take action for a long time, wouldn't it be a mistake? His life, of course, it may be three autumns too late to take action now, so let's resign to fate."

Shirley Yang said: "It's not that I'm worried about you, it's because you've never done anything to make me feel at ease. Why don't you talk badly about those villagers, but talk about the elixir of immortality? I think you are better than that." Blind fortune-tellers are still unreliable, if you lift up the iron chain later, there is no magic pill, let me see how you explain to them."

I said to Shirley Yang: "I'm not as blind as a blind man. That old man can pinch and count, and run the train with his mouth full. Now I have nothing to do. Otherwise, those militiamen refused to do their best. I See that winch can only be turned by three or more people, only the two of us can't do it, if there is no elixir later, you have to help me smooth things over, don't let me do it alone."

The militia platoon leader was ready and greeted me. Shirley Yang and I stopped talking. We put the torches on the edge of the pool, each sided our rifles, pulled the bolts, and waved to the militia platoon leader: "Do it."

The militia platoon leader led the other two militiamen, turning the reel, like drawing water from a well, and rolled up a circle of iron chains on the winch. Unexpectedly, the mechanical principle between the winch and the reel chain was extremely well designed. It's ingenious, it doesn't need three people at all, only one person can slowly roll the iron chain into the winch with [-]% strength.

As the iron chain that sank into the pool rose, the palms of Shirley Yang and I, and others were also squeezed into cold sweat. Whether the things under the pool were alive or something else, we will soon see the outcome, and I can’t help feeling Following the thick iron chain, it slowly went up and lifted up.

The iron chain was rolled up for more than ten meters, and the water in the pool was splashed, and a dark object emerged from the pool.

The platoon leader of the militiamen shouted: "My ancestor, he was really strangled by Chief Hu's words. I'm afraid it's really the furnace where the Taishang Laojun burned pills."
