Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 73

The old village chief called a few militiamen with a gloomy expression on his face, then pulled the basket, and first sent down the professor's student, Feng Sijiu.

Within a minute, I saw a flashlight shining upwards from the bottom of the hole, which indicated that there was no danger below, and the militiamen took their time to bring back the empty baskets.

As for Feng Xuewu and Jin Bao who were waiting on the top, once the basket reached the top, they all sat in the basket one by one, and the militiamen slowly sent them down.

The old village head just stretched his head to look at the hole where the cold air was coming from upwards, and then he smoked a pipe on the side, and began to slowly record the time. Just at this time, he saw the militia captain's face was ugly, and his whole body was shaking So so.

The old village chief was very considerate of the people, and hurriedly let him go out to bask in the sun, so as not to get sick, and he also helped to block the entrance and exit of the village, so that those opportunistic criminals could not get in.

"Professor, I think the structure of these blue bricks seems to be from the Qin and Han Dynasties."

Jin Bao looked at the green bricks on the wall, and just as he finished speaking, he heard Feng Xuewu nod and said:
"Well, you guessed it right. This kind of green brick tunnel has been found in several places near Gutian County, but you don't know it. These are the places where Qin Shihuang sent alchemists to refine medicine."

The three of them walked deep into the blue brick tunnel, and saw a door opening in front of them, and inside was a stone house built with round stones.

Walking into the circular stone house, I saw a smooth stone bed in the house. On the ground in the center of the stone house, there was a square gap, which was the entrance of a 45-degree inclined tunnel.

I looked inside with a flashlight, but I couldn't see what the end was like, but I can tell that this is a gentle slope dug by hand, and it should be possible to walk down.

"Here, like the six jade beasts, it should not be a product of the Qin Dynasty. We have to go down and see what's going on inside."

Feng Sijiu didn't say much after hearing this, and walked ahead with a flashlight first, followed closely by Feng Xuewu and Jin Bao.

At the same time, in Gutian County, Hu Bayi and Xueli Yang took a plane, then a car and then a boat, and finally arrived here.

When he reached the entrance of the guest house, he never thought that he happened to run into old man Liu who came back from outside. Hu Bayi remembered that Professor Sun worked in Gutian for a period of time within a year.

So he didn't know if Professor Sun was still in Gutian, so he hurriedly asked old man Liu if Sun Yaozu was still in the guest house.

"Oh, you are late, Professor Sun is not in the guest house."

Hearing this all of a sudden, Hu Bayi felt a twinge in his heart, thinking that he couldn't, why is it such an unfortunate coincidence?Is it still a step late?
Seeing the sad faces of the two of them, Old Liu immediately wanted to understand that the two of them had misunderstood, so he hurriedly added:
"This morning, an ancient tomb was found under a coffin shop in the nearby Shiqiao store. Someone found something amazing from it. Now it has caused a sensation in Gutian. Professor Sun and the others have been there for a long time. You can go there find him."

Hearing that Professor Sun did not leave Gutian County, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief, then realized that what Old Liu was talking about just now was about them, not him, so he hurriedly asked:

"Old Liu, do you mean Professor Sun and others? Who are they?"

Old Liu didn't think too much, just opened his mouth and said:
"Just Professor Sun, his students and his assistants."

student!Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang looked at each other, their hearts thumped wildly, could it be the letter of Sijiu?
Since he didn't know how many students Professor Sun had accepted, Hu Bayi continued to ask:
"The student of Professor Sun you mentioned, is it the one who was with us last time?"

Hearing Hu Bayi's words, old man Liu looked puzzled:

"Professor Sun is the only student, who else would he be?"

Hearing this, both Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang cheered up, and made up their minds that they must immediately go to the Shiqiao store to find Professor Sun and Feng Sijiu. wait for no one.

So he bid farewell to old man Liu and started to look for the coffin shop. Seeing this, old man Liu hurriedly stopped the two of them and said:
"Although the Shiqiao store is not far from the county seat, the place is very remote. People who haven't been there may not be able to find it. How about this? I'll find someone to take you there."

Hu Bayi really didn't expect that this old Liu head was so warm-hearted, and he really felt that he had followed the old saying, that when he was away from home, he was still a reliable fellow.

……

Passing through the gentle slope under the stone house, what appeared in front of Feng Sijisan was a man-made cave, and there was a small pool in the open space in the middle.

Under the light of the flashlight, the pool water presents a strange dark black color. Several large iron chains sank into the deep pool, and the giant chains collapsed straight, as if there should be some huge object falling on one end of the sinking pool.

Looking at the man-made surroundings and this strange water pool, Feng Xuewu's assistant Jin Bao said with a puzzled face:

"Professor, it really doesn't look like it was dug here in the Qin Dynasty. It should be dug by someone later. Why do you think that person dug this strange pool?"

Feng Xuewu's eyes were fixed on the pool, as if he could penetrate the pitch-black water.

"I already have a guess in my heart. As long as the thing hanging in this pool is really that thing, I dare to be 100% sure."

"All right, I'll go get it out and have a look."

Feng Sijiu thought that what Feng Xuewu wanted to talk about was the strange tank for keeping insects and fish, but he didn't say much, he just stretched out his hand and started turning the reel, which was like fetching water from a well.

All of a sudden, circles of iron chains began to be rolled up on the winch, and as the thick iron chains sank into the pool slowly rose, the iron chains had already been rolled up for more than ten meters.

At this time, there was only a splash of water in the pool, and a dark object protruded from the pool. It looked round and thick, like a big water tank.

Now that he was lifted out of the water by the iron chain, the water was rushing out, Feng Xuewu and Jin Bao walked a little closer, so they could see it clearly.

It turns out that the tank is surrounded by holes as big as little fingers. Once it sinks into the pool, the strange tank can be filled with water through these holes, but now that the tank body is lifted out of the pool, water is rushing through these holes. .

After Feng Xuewu saw this thing clearly, he finally sighed and said to Jin Bao and Feng Sijiu:

"This vat is a tool for cultivating evil magic that harms people. I have seen it in Yunnan before. It seems that this matter is no longer within the scope of our archaeological work. We have to go to the Public Security Bureau."

"Professor, what is the origin of this vat, how do you say it is a harmful magic?"

Seeing Jin Bao's question, Feng Xuewu hurriedly said:
"This is not a place to talk, let's go out and talk."

Then the three of them began to walk up the gentle slope, and at this moment, there was a sudden impact sound from the cylinder behind them, and only the iron chain shook a few times.

Feng Sijiu and Feng Xuewu didn't pay attention, but Jin Bao didn't know what was inside, so he always felt cold behind his back.

The three of them had just turned back to the stone house before they exited the blue brick tunnel. At this moment, they saw a few people hanging from above. For a moment, the flashlights of several people were facing each other, and their eyes widened.

Feng Sijiu recognized the familiar figure Hu Bayi first, no, Xueli Yang had to be added.
