Ghost Blows Out the Light

Everyone raised their heads together and looked at the "strange vat" hanging in mid-air, with one thought in their hearts: "This is hell."

I said to Shirley Yang: "Don't worry, I'll go up again and have a look. If I fall into the water again, you remember to give me artificial respiration as soon as possible, or it will be too late."

Shirley Yang Bai glanced at me, pointed to the militia platoon leader and said to me: "What are you thinking, if you need artificial respiration, I will also ask those militiamen to do it for you."

I said to Shirley Yang: "Why are you so out of touch? If you fell into the water and were trapped, and you need to give you artificial respiration, then I am absolutely obliged to..."

Shirley Yang interrupted me and said to me: "I found out that one is you, and the other is that fat man. He never takes life and death seriously. He is still in the mood to joke on what occasion. By the way, let me ask you, you Did you see something up there? Could it scare you into the water, is Professor Sun in there?"

I have always regarded myself as bold and bold. This question can expose my shortcomings. How can I not lose face?I looked at the "strange tank" hanging in the air and told Shirley Yang and others: "This... As soon as I lifted the tank cover, a series of invisible serial life-killing golden needles swished out from inside. It's really a powerful hidden weapon. This is my skill, I am not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry, I am calm, I dodged it with a kite turning over, if it was someone else, there would be no life at this moment."

Shirley Yang said helplessly: "Forget it, I won't listen to you, just blow it up, I'd better go up and have a look by myself." After saying that, she twisted her wet long hair a few times, coiled it casually, and the same Let two militiamen build a hand ladder and lift her to the top of the tank.

The "strange vat" was still making noises, and the militiamen became nervous again, fearing that some monster would suddenly appear in the vat. I warned them not to shoot casually, and then threw the flashlight on Shirley Yang from below. , Tell her that there is a skeleton of a dead person in the "weird jar", so that she can also be mentally prepared not to fall from it like me.

Shirley Yang looked at it for a long time, reached out and took something, jumped down from the strange tank, and held up a jade bracelet for us to see. The militia platoon leader and I took the jade bracelet and looked at it, even more puzzled .

I have been doing business in Panjiayuan for a period of time, and my eyesight has improved a lot. I can tell at a glance that this jade bracelet is fake. Is the bone in the "strange vat" a woman?And she still hasn't died for a long time, so how did she get into this "strange vat"?Was it put in after death, or was it put in alive and drowned?It can be ruled out that the burial in a "urn coffin" can be ruled out. The Chinese pay attention to burying the dead in peace, and will never soak the dead in water. The messy and complicated situation in front of us really has no clue at all.

Shirley Yang said to me: "Old Hu, guess what is making the noise in that tank?"

I said: "Is it because the bones have become spirits? In ancient China, there was a saying of white bone spirits, but the white bone spirits were wiped out by Monkey King many years ago. Could it be that there is a new debut here? I want the common people to eat it again." Suffering twice, and suffering twice?"

Shirley Yang said with a smile: "You really think, it's not a bone spirit. I saw clearly just now that there are three human bones in the tank, all of them are adults, and there are more than 20 round strange fishes under it. Although they are only two or three feet long, but this The strength of the fish was extraordinary, and the water in the tank was emptied, and the strange fish kept thumping inside, so there was a sound. Before the strange tank was lifted, we saw the iron chain The shaking in the water pool may also be caused by these fish fighting and swimming in the tank."

I said to Shirley Yang: "This is weird, what kind of fish are those fish? How did they get into the closed tank? Do they eat dead people?"

Shirley Yang shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. I have never seen such a strange fish. I don't think this kind of fish was installed in advance. It is possible... It is possible that these fish themselves grew in this underground cave. In the water pool, someone deliberately put dead bodies into a tank full of pores, and sank into the pool, and the small fish that didn't grow up could swim in through the pores of the tank body..."

After hearing what Shirley Yang said, I was quite surprised: "I understand what you mean. You mean that this is raising fish with dead human flesh? When the human flesh is eaten up and the fish are fattened, it is impossible for big fish to grow out of the tank again." Swim out through holes in the wall, but what's the use of keeping fish like that? It's just... so fucking disgusting."

The platoon leader of the militia suddenly interrupted: "The two chiefs on the first and the second, I have been looking at this bracelet for a long time. I seem to have seen this bracelet somewhere. It looks like it was worn by a girl in the village. She has been married for many years. , also travels from different homes, and only went back to her natal home for the first time a few months ago. At that time, she was wearing this bracelet for us to see, and told us that she bought it in Guangdong, and it was worth thousands of dollars. They all looked jealous, and when they went back, they complained that their men were incompetent and couldn't afford thousands of pieces of jewelry."

As soon as I heard this, I felt strange, so I asked the militia platoon leader what happened next?

The militia platoon leader said: "There was no more after that, and the woman left quietly. People in the village thought she had quarreled with her family again and ran back to other places. Looking at this bracelet now, could it be that The woman was killed by the gangster."

We were discussing, and suddenly heard footsteps on the ramp of the crypt. I thought it was the two militiamen waiting outside seeing that we had not returned for a long time. They were not at ease, so they came down to look for us. Among them, the leader is Professor Sun.

Surprised and delighted, I hurried over to Professor Sun and said, "Professor, you frightened me. I came all the way to find you for a big event. I thought you were eaten by piranhas. Where are you going?" What? Why did it suddenly appear from behind?"

Professor Sun was also taken aback when he saw me. He didn't expect that I would come to him again and meet him here. After listening to me briefly explain the ins and outs, he understood what was going on.

Professor Sun carefully looked at the scene in the cave, and said to us: "This vat is a witchcraft that harms people. I have seen it in Yunnan before. It seems that this matter is no longer within the scope of archaeological work. I went to the Public Security Bureau, this place is not a place to talk, everyone, don’t destroy the scene, we will go up and talk about it in detail if we have anything to say.”

So all the people waited and went back the same way. The village chief and others were very happy to see that everyone was safe and sound. I paid the service fees promised to the militiamen in advance. Although the militiamen didn't get the elixir, they got paid. Everyone is also happy.

Professor Sun asked the people from the village committee to notify the police, and then took Shirley Yang and me to the village chief's house for dinner. I had many questions in my mind, so I asked Professor Sun what happened to the crypt?

Professor Sun told Shirley Yang and me what happened. It turned out that he had brought his assistants down to the crypt and saw the iron chains sunk in the pool. At that time, they did not move the winch. At the end of the tunnel, another dark passage was found, with many stone tablets inside.

The structure of the tunnel is the terrain of "╠╡". There are two roads in total, one bright road and one dark road, with a height difference of two meters. In the secret passage, the so-called "secret passage" is a section lower than the Ming Dao, there is a gap, it is not easy to find if you don't go to the front and look, there is a stone house at the end of the Ming Dao and the dark passage.

Professor Sun led his assistant into the underground tunnel marked by a single line, and checked the preservation of the ancient steles inside. Unexpectedly, due to the lower terrain here, the water seepage is much more serious than the top, and the part connecting the middle of the two tunnels suddenly appeared There was a landslide, and Professor Sun was trapped inside.

The people who went down to rescue did not find these two parallel tunnels. Fortunately, the area of ​​the landslide was not large. It took a lot of effort for Professor Sun and the two to remove the stones that blocked the passage. As soon as they came out, they just met the left behind Knowing that someone went down to the cave of the stone house to rescue them, they didn't come back for a long time, so they went down to check with the two left behind militiamen.

After investigation, the underground tunnel of the stone stele store belongs to the ruins of the Qin Dynasty. There are several other such places nearby. They are all places where Qin Shihuang sent alchemists to refine medicine. They were probably abandoned later, except for some stone steles. , There is no other harvest, but these steles still have great research value.

I asked Professor Sun: "What are the six jade beasts in the stone box and the strange jar suspended in the crypt pool used for? Are they also relics from the Qin Dynasty?"

Professor Sun shook his head and said: "No, the jade beast in the stone box, and the cave under the stone house, including the iron chain hanging cylinder, are different from the tunnel relics of the pre-Qin period. They were put in by later people. I heard about it in Gutian County. In recent years, there have been people missing every three to five times. It is likely to be related to this incident. I am not a criminal investigator, but I can tell you based on the inferences I made when I saw these things at the scene. Of course, this is not a country. It's confidential, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Professor Sun’s analysis is as follows: This set of jade beasts in the stone box is extremely valuable, and it is very likely that it came from the ancient Dian Kingdom in Yunnan. The ancient Dian Kingdom is a mysterious kingdom, which historians call a lost country, and there are not many records in history books. , it is said that many people in the middle of the country know sorcery. There is a record in the "Six Demons and Jade Beasts" of King Xian, which is a kind of utensil used in ancient sacrificial ceremonies. He is one of the few migrant households in the village. It is impossible to find out which generation he moved from. He has passed away now, so we have no way of knowing how he got this set of treasures.
