When Wang Tianci was thinking about whether to suspend school or drop out, his cell phone rang. It was his senior brother Jingyong Zhenren who called in person:
"In case of emergency, we will set off with Xie Yuandao in ten minutes!"
Tianci knew something serious was going on. He quickly stood up and packed his bags.
The Taoist Association is permanently stationed at Baiyun Temple. Due to the special nature of Taoism, it also has the responsibility to cooperate with the General Administration of Religion in handling special situations.
When he first rented Xiangshu's shop, Tianci promised to handle some supernatural affairs for the Taoist Association on behalf of Baiyun Temple. This was also to allow him to understand the world more comprehensively and increase his knowledge.
In the past six months, Tianci has encountered him several times, almost once or twice every month, but it has never been as urgent as today.
There were nine people on a special plane taking off from a base in the imperial capital. A middle-aged man at the front, who called himself 'Deputy Bureau Chen', was sorting out the information in his hands and making introductions to everyone on the plane. In fact, he was mainly taking care of people on the plane.
Goddess, everyone on the plane also looked at the newcomer when he was introduced.
There were five 'professionals' and four relevant personnel from the General Administration on board.
In addition to his nephew, Xie Yuandao, there is also Zhang Mengmeng’s master, Taoist Priest Wen Wen, who is the general person in charge of Tianshi Tao in the imperial capital.
There are also two great monks, one fat and one thin: the fat monk is called Jueze, and the thin monk is called Yanyi.
In addition to these five 'professional' people, there are four staff from the General Administration.
After some introduction, the ‘newcomer’ Tianci naturally became the focus. After staring at it for a long time, Jue Ze took the lead and said:
"Amitabha! How wonderful that fellow Daoist Wang is so young and has such great cultivation and deep connection with the Tao!"
Looking at the curious eyes of the two monks and everyone, Tianci knew that he couldn't escape and hurriedly returned the gift:
"Master, you are so complimentary. Thanks to my master for training me."
After everyone exchanged polite greetings, Deputy Director Chen formally introduced the emergency to everyone:
Some time ago, a wealthy businessman sponsored and organized a detailed inspection of the Tombs of the Second Emperor. The government is usually very supportive of this kind of thing. But this time, two well-known technical experts in the industry were involved. Something unexpected happened.
It happened the day before yesterday that two experts, a wealthy businessman and 11 other people went down to a well in front of the mausoleum and suddenly lost contact. According to the detection with relevant instruments, the well was not deep, but no trace of this group of people could be detected, and there was no news at all.
Yesterday morning, another seven-member search and rescue team went out, but there was still no news. The local department suspected that there was another mystery inside, so they reported to the General Administration for assistance.
This incident involved so many people, and it happened in a place of faith like the Mausoleum of the Second Emperor, it must have attracted great attention.
Under the guidance and escort of several military vehicles, Tianci and his party arrived at the imperial mausoleum at around four o'clock.
The Mausoleum of the Second Emperor is the resting place of Zhuanxu and Emperor Ku, the two founders of humanities among the "Five Emperors". It is a place of faith for countless people and has a huge influence.
It is rare in ancient times for two emperors to be buried together.
There are also rumors that Zhuan Xu was buried in Tianfu, and Emperor Ku and Yao and Shun were buried in Dishan. This place is not the real Mausoleum of Zhuan Xu and Emperor Ku. This is also the focus of this archeology.
The imperial mausoleum has been completely under martial law. Tianci stood by the well and carefully examined the ancient well, which was built in an unknown age. The diameter of the well mouth is about one meter and a half, and it seems to be only a dozen meters deep; the water in the well is about two meters deep, and you can see it at a glance.
There doesn't seem to be anything weird about it. The ancient well is located in a temple. There are colorful dragons painted on the temple beams, and their reflections are lifelike in the water. It is said that people come here to pray for rain during severe droughts, and it always comes true, so the locals also call it
It is a 'spiritual well'. There are two climbing ropes hanging at the mouth of the well. With God's divine sense, I followed the ropes to check, and sure enough I found something strange:
Above the water at the bottom of the well, there is an east-facing cave entrance, and there is a deep space inside the cave entrance.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, after gathering three other Taoist priests and three eminent monks, the number of people who went down the well was finally determined: five monks, an eleven 'professional team' of six Taoist priests, four heads of the general bureau, and ten fully armed
A 'Guard' of fourteen warriors.
After agreeing on the relevant procedures, as the youngest 'professional', Tianci 'naturally' was the first to open the way. Tianci did not use a rope, but jumped directly into the mouth of the well, slowly descended, and flew in the air. What followed
The professionals jumped into the well one after another amid the shock of the people around them.
Sure enough, there was a downward-sloping hole about 1 meter high and 0.8 meters wide ten centimeters above the water at the bottom of the well. Tianci flew towards the hole without hesitation. After passing the hole, there was a cave about 1.5 meters high.
The surrounding rock walls are extremely flat and smooth, like a natural cave. After walking about a hundred meters, you come to a stone chamber. The stone chamber is not big, 20 meters long, 30 meters wide, and 10 meters high. Just like a cave, the surrounding walls are smooth and flat.
, there are no traces of man-made things. There is a 1.5-meter-high dilapidated wooden door on the opposite wall. The seemingly dilapidated wooden door actually blocked Tianci's exploration of the inside. While waiting for the next person, he studied the dilapidated wooden door. The wooden door looked like an ordinary old wooden door.
Pine wood, the only difference is that there are some tiny patterns carved on the wooden door. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be secret numbing runes. Some tiny runes carved on this ordinary wood can actually block the monk's spiritual exploration.
, this aroused Tianci’s great interest. He concentrated on memorizing every rune; he took out his mobile phone and photographed every detail in detail; he retreated to the side of the stone room and waited for the next person. This seemingly ordinary wooden door naturally
It also attracted the attention of the other ten monks. A group of people gathered around the wooden door to study and discuss.
It is obvious that all ten monks and Taoists know each other.
"It seems that I am the only one who is redundant!"
While looking at the entire stone room, Tianci joked to himself. Although his nephew Xie Yuandao introduced everyone on the ground, there was no friendship after all.
After all fourteen escorts had gathered together, everyone set off again.
Tianci continued to lead the way. The cave behind the wooden door became obviously taller, with a height of 2 meters and a width of about 1.5 meters. The surrounding walls were filled with pits and traces of manual excavation.
“How much labor cost does it cost to dig such a huge cave so deep underground?!
Remarkable project.”
In this seemingly simple cave, the divine consciousness that was originally able to detect twenty meters with concentrated energy could only detect five meters at most. This feeling made Tianci very unhappy.
I don’t know how long I have been advancing, but I calculated the distance and found that I have advanced almost several miles. The cave seems to be endless, sometimes going up, sometimes going down, sometimes turning, sometimes going straight. I don’t know when the original blue stone cave changed.
It became a black cave.
Tianci at the front suddenly raised his hand and signaled the team to stop. Holding the Dragon Subduing Wood in his hand, he looked ahead warily. The two team members behind him also immediately raised their rifles:
There was a man lying in front of me, a dead man!
Taoist priest Wen Wen and a monk named Shi Hui who came on the same plane came forward. According to the arrangement on the ground, these two people were the chief and deputy team leaders of this operation. After careful investigation, the two team leaders signaled
Everyone moved forward together. This was a young man. Judging from the work clothes he was wearing, he should be a staff member of the archaeological team. His eyes were wide open, his face was frightened, and his orifices were bleeding, as if he had encountered something terrible. He was not far from the body.
There is a long, dark snake corpse. Different from the flat head of ordinary snakes, this snake's head is actually round. The snake's head has protruding features and looks extremely ferocious.
"This person was probably bitten to death by this snake. The fellow travelers killed the snake and moved on."
The team continued to move forward, with the two captains leading the way. This time the speed obviously slowed down, and everyone began to be cautious. The cave was suddenly filled with steps, and the steps went down step by step. After continuing forty or fifty meters, they arrived at a special place.
The stone chamber is like an upright round bottle, thick at the bottom and thin at the top. There is a dark hole at the top that leads to nowhere. The stone chamber is very humid. Judging from the rock marks, there should be huge water flowing through here from time to time. On the other side of the wall
There was a step that continued downward. After everyone looked at it for a moment, they continued to move forward. After walking down the step for about two hundred meters, a faint light came from in front of them. Following the light, everyone finally walked out of the tunnel.
At the end of the steps is a 'concave'-shaped stone platform, which protrudes from the mountain for about fifty meters. Everyone stood on the stone platform and looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
