"This lunatic, if you don't beat him up, you won't know what the heavens and the earth are!"
Tan Lin felt that he had been tricked by this lunatic, so he rushed over angrily and kicked him hard again.
The madman huddled on the ground holding his head, still shouting.
Tan Lin didn't care so much, he raised his foot and kicked the madman on the head again.
Bang! A hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder from behind and pulled him back several meters! "Stop, he has gone crazy, there is no point in doing this."
Chu Ye stopped Tan Lin.
"snort!"
Tan Lin glared at Chu Ye, with a look full of resentment on his face, and turned around to walk towards his tent.
Chu Ye took out a wooden box from his arms and opened it. Inside was a row of silver needles of different thicknesses. After Chu Ye put the silver needles on the flame to kill the poison at high temperature, he walked to the madman who kept shouting and aimed at it.
Several acupuncture points were pricked.
The madman finally calmed down, lay down on the ground and fell asleep without shouting.
Chu Ye walked back to his tent, took a blanket and covered the madman.
The nights in the mountains are extremely cold, only a few degrees above zero. If you sleep without a cover, you might freeze to death here.
"Pretending! He's just a lunatic, there's nothing to save him from!"
Tan Lin said disdainfully from the side.
Chu Ye ignored Tan Lin's provocation. In his eyes, Tan Lin was just an ant, and his use value was not as high as this lunatic.
At this moment, Chu Ye suddenly felt a cold feeling behind his back.
He turned around suddenly and saw several figures flashing past on the hillside not far away.
"Did you see anything?"
Chu Ye whispered.
Zhu Wanlin rubbed his eyes and shook his head: "There's nothing, it's pitch black and I can't see anything.
What's wrong?"
"fine."
Chu Ye didn't say anything, and he didn't see the scene clearly either. Although the distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters, they were separated by a valley, and it was night, so he could only barely see clearly with the faint moonlight.
But the feeling of heart palpitations just now was exactly the same as that in the ancient tomb.
Obviously, this archaeological team has been targeted.
Early the next morning, a steaming breakfast was cooked around the campfire. A dozen people sat around and began to discuss today's itinerary.
"Hey, where was that lunatic last night?"
Director Wu discovered that the madman was missing.
"I have already called the relevant departments. They will send people over soon to take this madman back to Shudu, find out his identity, and help him find his family."
Zhu Wanlin was the first to speak.
In fact, it was Chu Ye who called Master Ma last night and asked the people from the Hunter School who were ambushing in the valley to come over and take the madman away.
He suspected that this madman's identity was unusual and might be related to the expedition team that had disappeared before.
"Boss Zhu is a good person."
Director Wu said with emotion.
Soon, the topic turned to today's plan to go to the tomb. To them, the madman who appeared last night was just a small episode and did not arouse their vigilance at all.
"Director Wu, do you see any pattern in the pattern of the gate?
How is your research going?"
Tan Lin asked curiously from the side.
"Haha, hard work pays off. Last night I contacted several top code-breaking experts in the country to help me work together and finally unlocked the secret of the pattern on the gate!"
Just as they guessed, the lines on the stone carving door actually contain a lot of hidden information, and the direction of each line is special.
In short, the pattern on this gate is similar to the "QR code" commonly used on the Internet today. Only by finding the pattern of the pattern and then arranging it with special magnets can the mechanism of the gate be opened, thus opening up the passage.
The road to the tomb.
"High! Director Wu is really tall!"
Zhu Wanlin gave a thumbs up excitedly. His mission this time was to take Chu Ye into the prince's tomb. Now that the gate code has been deciphered, his mission can finally be completed.
Moreover, being able to enter the prince's tomb, which has been rumored by locals for a long time, is something that is extremely worth looking forward to! Others began to get excited, and they all started to chatter about what to do after going to the tomb today.
It was as if he had completely forgotten the bad experience he had after going to the grave yesterday.
The group had a quick breakfast, then packed up various equipment and prepared to go to the tomb again.
Just a few minutes after walking, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the dense forest nearby.
The sound is getting louder and louder. It is not an illusion, but a sound made by humans.
Several timid girls were so frightened that they couldn't even move their legs.
"This is the sound of Taoist priests chanting sutras."
Director Wu listened for a while and said with a frown.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes came out from the hillside next to them, holding various magical instruments and walking towards them while chanting sutras.
"Masters, the prince's tomb is just ahead. I don't dare to go any further. Let's just say goodbye here."
A guide who spoke the local dialect bowed deeply to the old Taoist priest who led him, and then ran away as if fleeing.
"Thanks for showing the way!"
The leading old Taoist priest nodded slightly.
The old Taoist priest was about sixty years old. He was wearing a blue Taoist robe. He looked kind-hearted and held a whisk in his hand. He had the demeanor of an outsider.
There were more than a dozen Taoist priests behind him, all around thirty years old, all wearing gray and white Taoist robes. Among them was a tall Taoist priest nearly two meters tall, carrying a simple sword behind his back.
Seeing that there were still people in the forest, these Taoist priests were obviously a little surprised. The old Taoist priest bowed his head and chanted a Taoist chant, then led a group of Taoist priests and walked towards the Archaeological Institute.
"You are?"
The old Taoist priest took the lead in asking questions.
"Taoist Priest, we are the team from the Shu Capital Archaeological Institute."
Director Wu rushed to greet him and replied respectfully.
"Pindao is a Taoist priest from the Qingcheng Mountain sect. His name is Dufa. Today, he was entrusted by someone to come to the mountain to perform rituals for the dead souls."
The old Taoist priest bowed.
"It turns out to be Taoist priest Dufa."
When Director Wu heard that the other party was a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Qingcheng Mountain has dozens of Taoist sects, large and small, which are very famous in the entire Shuzhong area. Every year, there are hundreds of thousands of tourists from across the country.
Travel to Qingcheng Mountain.
Therefore, as a native of the capital of Shu, Director Wu also has great respect for the Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain.
"My surname is Wu. We have received a mission from our superiors and are here to conduct protective excavations of an ancient tomb. These are the staff of our archaeological institute."
After hearing this, Taoist priest Dufa asked: "The ancient tomb you mentioned is the prince's tomb in folklore?"
"right."
"To be honest, we were entrusted by the Bai family in Aocheng to come here to perform rituals for more than 70 members of the expedition team. In addition, the Bai family also suspected that the disappearance of the expedition team was related to the prince's tomb, and asked us to come and check it out.
Let’s find out.”
Master Dufa said.
A group of people from the archaeological institute couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this.
It is understandable that the Bai family asked Taoist priests to perform rituals for the expedition team that was in trouble. However, the Bai family also entrusted the Taoist priests to come to the prince's tomb to check. Could it be that the Bai family felt that the disappearance of the expedition team was caused by evil spirits in the prince's tomb?
After all, the vocation of Taoist priests is to slay demons.
