Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 5 Dead Man's Bag

Seeing our reaction, the village chief's wife hurriedly patted the village chief and said that he drank too much again, and put it aside to scare other college students.

In fact, I was more surprised than scared by what the village chief said.

If all the dead were buried there, how many people would it take to pile up such a hill?
Although this statement sounds very outrageous, some rumors in the market are really not groundless.Just like the Jiangkou Shenyin site, which was a major archaeological discovery in the past few years, it was also deciphered by relying on the rumors that "stone dragons are against stone tigers, gold and silver are ten thousand and five".

The village chief waved his hand at his wife and continued: "It is said that this place used to be an ancient battlefield. The battle lasted for three days and three nights. The corpses were all piled up, layer by layer, so many that they couldn’t be buried, and finally some soil was transported to cover them, and it became today’s dead bag.”

Although I am interested in antique collection, I am not a history major after all, and I can't think of any famous battles that took place here.But in any case, according to the village chief, this dead man is very evil, and it is definitely not a good place.

"From your point of view, this dead bag is very evil, has anyone been there before?" I asked tentatively.

"It's not just evil, let me tell you two, you can go anywhere when you come to my village this time, but you must never dare to use this dead bag!" The village head suddenly looked serious and looked at us, " That place is very cloudy and haunted by ghosts, so you can't go there, and you have to take a detour to go to the east of Huya Mountain."

"We are engaged in geological exploration, and I think this dead man bag seems to be a good subject."

I said it with my mouth, but I started to plan in my heart.I have seen the mountains here before. If there is a big tomb, it should most likely be in the dead man's bag in the middle. In this way, the mountains on both sides of Huya Peak can form a natural barrier to nurture spiritual energy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, the village head became anxious: "I'm not going to lie to you, I really can't go there! The dead people are haunted by ghosts, and the ghosts' screams, hooting, can sometimes be heard on Huya Mountain. Some time ago, a few people came, and they refused to listen to the persuasion and decided to go there. After a while, God changed his face. It rained and thundered again. A thunder struck the dead man's bag, and the village shook. The whole village was shaken by the movement. Everyone heard it, and none of those few people got off in the end."

After hearing this, I kind of came back to my senses.

His grandma's, isn't this what Uncle Le described before?It seems that Uncle Na Le is not a villager at all, he is probably the person involved, and that group is probably a tomb robbery gang.If this is the case, the matter of the tomb will be even more suspenseful.At least seeing Uncle Le later showed that they didn't stop going down. As for the real reason why they didn't go the same way, I'm afraid it was because they succeeded, and they moved out of the mountain by another way with good goods.What is left in the tomb now, whether it has been emptied or not is unknown.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt like I was out of the air, and I was not in the mood to chat.I followed suit, promised the village chief not to go to the dead man's bag, and took Ah Fei back to the East Chamber after the meal.

Just as we were about to close the door, the door of the west wing opened suddenly, and a white-haired old man wearing sunglasses and a cotton coat came out of the room.He seemed to be older than the village head, with a serious expression on his face, staring straight at me.This feeling made me uncomfortable, as if my soul was about to be seen through.

I was a little overwhelmed and smiled at him.

"Young man, is it fortune-telling?" Unexpectedly, the old man, who was extremely sharp a second ago, suddenly spoke surprisingly.

"No... no." I hurriedly slammed the door shut, for there was a fortune teller living in the village chief's house.

Seeing my panicked face, Ah Fei also grinned.

After this episode, A Fei and I roughly analyzed the current situation. The tomb on the dead man's bag may have been touched by those people, but after all we prepared so much, we still came all the way How can you be reconciled if you don't go and have a look.

Besides, the dreams and mysteries that plagued me have not been solved, and if there is anything left in that tomb, it is better than returning empty-handed.

After making up our minds, the two of us were going to set off immediately to find the hole that Uncle Le mentioned on the dead man's bag.After saying hello to the village head, we set off towards the mountain. Before we left, the village head repeatedly told us to avoid the dead man's bag.

"Brother Li, do you think there are really dead people under this dead person's bag? The village chief can say that it is haunted by ghosts." Ah Fei still felt a little apprehensive.
Looking at Ah Fei's appearance, I was angry and funny, "You believe this, think about it, if there are ghosts, then Mr. Le can still survive? Although there is a high probability that this tomb has been touched, but this It’s not necessarily a bad thing, at least it’s safe.”

What I said was a reassurance for him.

We walked along the village road to the end of the terraced fields in the mountains, and then walked for about an hour on the mountain road, and finally came to the foot of Huya Peak.

After taking a closer look, we discovered that the dead bag and the Huya Shuangfeng are one.

Because it is too close, we can't see where the top of the dead man's bag can reach Huya peak, but one thing is certain, if you want to get on the dead man's bag from the position in front of you, you have to go up Huya peak first.

But now a new problem is in front of us. To find a hole from such a hill with a height of more than [-] meters is not as exaggerated as finding a needle in a haystack, but it is by no means an easy task.

I tried to find some clues from Uncle Le's original description, and the last useful information seemed to be only halfway up the mountain. In addition, the scene in my dream was completely different from the environment here, with architectural ruins, streams, broken walls... There is nothing here.

"Come on, I can't see any way here." I greeted Ah Fei and prepared to go to the dead man's bag first, "I think the hole is probably on the other side of the dead man's bag. What's unusual."

We went up with our equipment on our backs. This Huya Peak is not like the small hills before. There is almost no road. In addition, it is winter now, and there is a thick layer of fallen leaves under our feet. Basically, we will sink in every step. If you want to Climbing up, I can only keep holding on to the trunk around me.Just like this, we went all the way up obliquely. I don't know how long we climbed, but I just felt that the top of the dead man's bag seemed to be getting closer and closer to us.

Finally, at a huge rock, we found a platform extending to the east. After walking for more than ten minutes, looking at the mountains in the distance, we realized that we had entered the range of the dead man's bag.

"Let's go around and take a look at the Shan'in side." I pointed in the direction and signaled Ah Fei to follow me.

The altitude of our current location should be higher than halfway up the mountain, but we haven't reached the top of the dead man's bag yet.Afterwards, the two of us wandered around the forest for an hour or two, and gradually, I lost my way.

Suddenly, Ah Fei beside him stopped, jumped on the spot, and stomped his feet again.

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?" I was a little confused by Ah Fei's sudden action.

"There is no difference if you step on this place and it is peaceful, and it shouldn't look like a dead person below."

Hearing his answer, I was speechless for a moment, I dare say you have been away for so long before I remembered this, "Isn't there a Luoyang shovel in the bag, try the next shovel, and you will know if there is a dead person down here Yet?"

"It makes sense." Unexpectedly, Ah Fei really untied his backpack to get the Luoyang shovel.

It was originally a joke, but Ah Fei took it seriously.Seeing that he had already started to shovel, I simply sat aside, as if I was watching the fun.

The Luoyang shovel we bought consisted of ten sections of steel pipes, each one meter long.After A Fei knocked into the shovel head, he screwed on the first section of steel pipe, followed by the second section, and the third section... After knocking in a full seven sections of steel pipe, A Fei's hands stopped suddenly.

"I can't go down... there is something." Ah Fei knocked hard twice and shouted at me.

I quickly got up and helped him pull out the shovel.As the Luoyang shovel head was pulled out, not only the dust was brought up at the same time, but also a piece of soil stuck on the shovel head. If you look closely, there are delicate back-shaped lines on it.

I broke off the clod, looked at it carefully, and yelled at Ah Fei: "This looks like a piece of fucking clay brick."

Looking at his puzzled face, I explained to him that this kind of clay bricks are generally used to build and pave tombs, and the appearance of this fragment in the shovel at the moment indicates that there is a high possibility of a tomb below.
