Looking at this dead village, Ma Hui couldn't help but shudder. As a wealthy man in Tianhai City, fear appeared in his eyes at this moment. His face turned a little pale and he said: "Master Chen, this Niujiazhuang, at the beginning of the year
Something big happened, and dozens of villagers disappeared overnight."
"Oh, is there such a weird thing?" Chen Xuan's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this.
There are dozens of households, with a population of a few hundred. In modern society, it is unbelievable that so many people can disappear overnight.
Ma Hui continued: "What's even more strange is that when such a large case of missing persons occurred, the police intervened in the investigation, but could not find out the reason at all. A few months later, a major case was shelved."
"The police can't find out, is it haunted?" Chen Xuan's lips curled up.
When Ma Hui heard what he said, a chill rose in his heart, and he echoed: "Master Chen, don't tell me, it is really possible. The police even went to the general's tomb to investigate."
"Have the police entered the general's tomb?"
"Yes, but the structure of the general's tomb is complicated, and the closed tomb cannot be destroyed at will, so it is impossible to conduct in-depth investigation, so nothing can be found in the investigation." Ma Hui said with a smile, "I just rushed here after the police evacuated.
That’s when I made an appointment with my friends from the Tianhai City Official Archaeological Research Institute.”
After he finished speaking, the car stopped just in front of the gate of a dilapidated ancestral hall.
Three cars have been parked here, and you can tell without even thinking that they are driven by people from the archaeological institution.
Chen Xuan and Ma Hui got out of the car. When they entered, they saw dead grass all over the ground, gray walls, tattered white lanterns hanging at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and decayed wooden doors, creating a desolate and dilapidated scene.
Walking inside, I saw several people standing in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, six men and two women. Except for one middle-aged man in his fifties, the rest were all young people in their twenties.
The middle-aged man was wearing an old-looking gray suit. He had a skinny face and seemed to be in poor health, but he had a pair of energetic eyes. When he saw Ma Hui coming, he went to greet him.
"Brother Wu Xie, you're here so early!" Ma Hui said with a smile.
The middle-aged man named Wu Xie also smiled slightly and said, "It's not too early. It's almost noon when we get here."
After the two greeted each other, Wu Xie looked at Chen Xuan behind Ma Hui and said in surprise: "Mr. Ma, who is this?"
"This is Mr. Chen Xuan. He is very interested in archeology." Ma Hui could only introduce him like this. He did not dare to reveal the identity of Mr. Chen without Chen Xuan's permission.
And even if he said it, Wu Xie wouldn't believe it.
After listening to Ma Hui's words, Wu Xie frowned inadvertently and said: "Mr. Ma, when we come to the general's tomb for archeology this time, we have agreed in advance that we cannot bring irrelevant people here. Now there are some lawless elements who are interested in antiquities."
Thefts are crazy."
He saw that Chen Xuan was a young man, so he did not hide his doubts in his words.
Ma Hui's heart skipped a beat, Wu Xie actually dared to speak like this. If Chen Zhenren blamed him, he would die.
He quickly explained: "Although Mr. Chen is young, his research on Feng Shui, antiques and other ancient cultures is already very profound. With his help, it will be much more convenient for us to explore the general's tomb."
When Ma Cong said this, Wu Xie's brows furrowed even deeper.
The few young people he brought with him were top students who had studied archeology for many years, but Chen Xuan looked younger. He didn't even have a degree, so how could he be an archaeological expert like Ma Hui said.
"Mr. Ma, archeology is not a child's play. I can understand that Mr. Chen is interested in ancient tombs, but going in to explore is another matter. The various mechanisms in the ancient tombs are full of dangers and may endanger lives. I
For your sake, Mr. Ma, you can let him in, but you can’t guarantee his safety, so you should think carefully about it.”
Wu Xie's words made Ma Cong feel a little dumbfounded, but he couldn't tell Chen Zhenren about his various magical powers, so he could only nod his head and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen will definitely be fine."
While the two were talking, several young staff from the archaeological institute behind them also came over and looked at Chen Xuan.
Looking at this young man, his appearance is not surprising, and he is several years younger than them. He is said to be an archaeological expert, which may make people laugh.
Several of the boys raised their mouths, secretly feeling funny.
They had studied archeology for many years, and after being admitted to the Tianhai Institute of Archeology, they worked for a year or two before the director allowed them to do on-site archeology for the first time.
When this young man arrived, Ma Hui called him an archaeological expert, so they were very dissatisfied and didn't believe it at all.
Five men and two women, seven young people, all secretly guessed that Chen Xuan must be one of Mr. Ma's juniors who followed the ancient tomb on a whim.
"Mr. Chen, this is Mr. Wu Xie, the director of the Tianhai Archaeological Institute. These are the staff of the institute." Ma Hui introduced Chen Xuan respectfully, leaving Wu Xie and others puzzled.
.
Obviously they all guessed wrong. For Ma Hui to be so respectful, Chen Xuan must not be his junior.
Chen Xuan just nodded slightly and said nothing.
Seeing his arrogant attitude, although Wu Xie was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything. However, unhappy expressions immediately appeared on the faces of several young people.
Among them, a young man who was vaguely the leader of the crowd took a step forward and said: "My name is Hu Jianjun. I heard that you are an archaeological expert. Which famous domestic archaeological university?"
"I'm not studying archeology, I'm studying at Tianhai University." Chen Xuan said calmly.
Hu Jianjun couldn't help but smile. He turned around and looked at several young colleagues, and they also laughed.
A girl wearing a red T-shirt couldn't help laughing and said: "Junior brother, you are not studying archeology, so you can't just enter the ancient tombs and join in the fun. It's very dangerous."
"It is very dangerous. I also heard that there are generals' innocent souls in the ancient tombs." Chen Xuan said with a calm expression.
"How can a so-called archaeological expert still believe in the existence of such things as innocent souls?" Hu Jianjun sneered, "But if you are afraid, don't go in later, just wait here. Do you want me to send two people to protect you?
You, I heard that this Niujiazhuang is also haunted!"
"This Niujiazhuang is really weird. I also advise you to be careful." Chen Xuan said expressionlessly, not like a warning at all.
Hu Jianjun couldn't help but burst into laughter. What kind of archaeological expert was this? He actually believed in these mythical things.
Several months have passed since the collective disappearance of all the villagers in Niujiazhuang. Hu Jianjun came here and was not afraid of the so-called haunting incident at all.
He was extremely courageous and won the admiration of other young people in the institute.
