Wang Daqing shook his head lonely and said nothing.
"Who says it's not the case?" Wu Xiaoqian took over, "Later on, the provincial literature and history experts couldn't stand it anymore. More than 20 old professors jointly wrote a letter of protest and published it publicly, calling on the relevant departments to stop
To stop this evil trend, my father also signed the open letter."
"This open letter caused quite a stir at the time. When it reached the ears of the leaders of the provincial capital, they sent people to investigate and found that these commercial projects were neither legal nor compliant. The competent authorities of Mulan Township still had
The illegal behavior of trading power for money has extremely bad consequences!”
"After a rigorous investigation along the way, we caught several borers and the haunted house was destroyed. This mausoleum has also been designated as a cultural heritage protection zone, including the surrounding land, and commercial development is prohibited."
"Later, this incident broke out on the Internet and caused a lot of controversy."
"Some people are in favor of severely punishing illegal operations and opposing the excessive commercialization of cultural relics and monuments. However, there are also a lot of cynics. They talk about 'closing the door and beating the dog', 'investing beyond the limit of ××'... It's hard to hear."
Wu Xiaoqian sighed and murmured: "Now that I see how desolate this place is, I can't help but wonder in my heart. When my father signed the open letter out of indignation, was it a good thing or was he doing bad things with good intentions?
.”
Gao Fei, Jiang Feng, Ma Tao and Wang Daqing were silent.
This issue is too complex and too heavy.
After all, they are too young to see clearly and cannot explain clearly.
"Now is not the time to talk about these old things, let's go." Wu Xiaoqian turned and walked towards the exit of the tomb.
During the period of commercial operation of the mausoleum, it underwent electrification renovation. However, it has been banned for many years and the power has long been cut off.
The deeper you explore, the darker and darker it becomes.
Hu Zi and Wu Xiaoqian, who were exploring the way ahead, both have "dark vision" and their eyesight is not affected.
Jiang Feng has already realized that "Heavenly Ears" can use his keen hearing to capture the subtle movements in the dark, making up for the limitations of his field of vision.
Gao Fei, Ma Tao and Wang Daqing all had dark eyes and had to turn on the flashlight to illuminate them.
After walking along the winding tomb passage for a long time, you will see the end of the surface tomb in front of you.
Under a stone wall, Wu Xiaoqian stopped.
"Look, there is newly dug soil here."
Gao Fei walked over and shined his flashlight at the position of Wu Xiaoqian's finger.
Close to the corner, a tunnel was excavated that extended downwards, emitting a damp, musty smell.
"This was dug by Hong Debiao?"
"Who else could be there besides him!"
"How did he know where to dig the hole?"
"I'm afraid it was my dad who told him." Wu Xiaoqian bit her lower lip hard and looked embarrassed. "Except for me and my dad, and a few of his old friends, no one knows that there is an ancient tomb hidden under the surface of the mausoleum.
A more ancient tomb."
"Miss Wu, don't think too much about this! Ordinary people have been kidnapped by a madman. In order to survive, what else can they do besides say whatever they say?" Wang Daqing comforted Wu Xiaoqian, "We can't ask everyone to act the same.
Martyrs who regard death as home!"
"Teacher Luo Xiang talked about a similar case at Station B. It seems to be called 'emergency evacuation'?" Ma Tao comforted Wu Xiaoqian from another angle, "In this case, in order to protect himself, he was forced to lead the way for the tomb robbers.
No legal responsibility is required."
"Actually, it's not necessarily Mr. Wu who gave the directions himself!" Jiang Feng continued, "Don't forget, when Hong Debiao kidnapped the old man, he also took away his thesis manuscript! Hong Debiao said he also had a junior high school education and read the thesis manuscript.
, you still don’t know where to dig the robbery hole!”
"Thank you...I feel much better."
Wu Xiaoqian smiled gratefully, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.
Gao Fei made a gesture and asked Hu Zi to get into the robbery hole first.
Two minutes later, a cat meowed from the bottom of the cave.
Gao Fei remained focused, had some mental communication with Hu Zi, and then said to his companions: "The tunnel is about 25 feet long, extends downwards at an angle, and leads to a tomb. No danger has been found yet. The air quality below is poor.
, but the oxygen content is sufficient and you can breathe normally."
"How long is a 'cat ruler'?" Wu Xiaoqian asked.
"It's from the tiger's forehead to its buttocks, not counting the length of its tail. It's used to using this reference object to measure the distance, which is converted into a metric system, about 0.45 meters." Gao Fei explained patiently.
Wu Xiaoqian burst into laughter, took out her cell phone with a smile, and opened her notepad.
"This 'cat ruler' is so interesting. I have to write it down so I can use it when writing novels."
"Remember to arrange a good ending for Huzi, but don't follow your old path of being miserable and torturing yourself to death," Gao Fei warned.
"Yeah! A happy ending!" Wu Xiaoqian nodded solemnly, "Maybe he will be paired with a smart little female cat for Hu Zi!"
Gao Fei smiled, took out the safety rope from the astrolabe storage space, and fixed one end to the wall with a nail.
Holding the rope in one hand and the flashlight in the other, he slid down the cave. After a while, he reached the bottom. When he saw the tiger squatting obediently on the coffin board, he went up and gave it a try.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Feng, Wu Xiaoqian, Ma Tao and Wang Daqing came down one after another.
"Huzi, you're still lying on the coffin and it's not bad luck!"
Jiang Feng said to Yi Mao.
"Meow~"
"What is Huzi talking about?" Jiang Feng turned to look at her boyfriend, "Pooper, please translate!"
"He said the coffin had been pried open and it was empty."
"No way... Could it be that a tomb robbery gang had visited this ancient tomb of the Jin Dynasty long before us?"
"It's not Hong Debiao! That lunatic probably wants to use the ancient corpses that have accumulated Yin energy for thousands of years in the coffins as materials, and use them with his own secret soul summoning techniques to refine undead creatures that are more powerful than iron corpses." Ma Tao said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Ma, do you also write novels?" Wu Xiaoqian turned around and asked.
"No...Sister Wu, I admit that I have a lot of imagination, but you can't deny the possibility."
Ma Tao said angrily.
"Hu Zi, borrow the light." Wang Daqing grabbed the coffin board with both hands and struggled to lift it up.
Gao Fei walked to him and looked into the coffin. Sure enough, it was empty except for some debris.
Wu Xiaoqian put on her gloves, took out a pair of tweezers for eyebrow trimming from her bag, picked up a piece of scrap and looked at it carefully, and nodded with understanding.
"Sister Wu, is this broken human skin?" Jiang Feng asked.
"The weathered fabric fragments may be linen." Wu Xiaoqian replied in a low voice, with a strange voice, "I am very curious whether the bones in the coffin were moved away by Hong Debiao, or whether they got up by themselves, pushed open the coffin lid and left..."
"Sister Wu, please stop talking!" Jiang Feng shuddered, "It's better to put such a wonderful idea in a novel!"
