"Stop it, I'm not interested in hearing about the past of you and your master eating shit. Let me ask you, what is your research on this cave?" I asked straight to the point.
"Hey, I can't talk about research. I know a little bit about it," Zhou Xiaoshe said with a wink.
"Tell me."
Zhou Xiaoshe raised his eyebrows and said with a somewhat deep expression: "This cave has no name and no number. It has a long origin. It is said that this cave existed during the Anti-Japanese War. As for the longer trails, I don't know, but
Many years ago, someone went in to explore. Later, half of the man's body crawled out of the cave before he died, and someone found gold on that man's body."
"Gold?"
"Yes, it's not so much gold as it is some unrefined gold ore. The man's pockets were filled with gold ore. Later, someone picked up the gold ore. Guess what happened next?"
As Zhou Xiaoshe spoke eloquently, Li Wenhai and the others also came over with curiosity on their faces.
Zhou Xiaoshe continued: "Later, those who picked up the gold ore from the corpses all died. Within a week of picking up the gold ore, more than a dozen people had blood blisters all over their bodies and bleeding from all their orifices. They looked like they were dead.
It’s much worse than being bitten by a black-headed snake. There are big blood blisters all over your body. Once you pop one, black blood will come out like spring water..."
As soon as Zhou Xiaoshe said these words, Li Wenhai and the others immediately fell silent.
And I was moved by what Zhou Xiaoshe said, because I had actually heard it from the old people in the village, but I was still young at that time, so I didn’t take it too seriously. Now it’s brought back to Zhou Xiaoshe’s past.
Mention it, and I can’t help but think about it.
Li Wenhai on the side smacked his tongue and said, "Taoist Master, from what you said, is it possible that there will be a gold mine under this cave?"
"Hey, there is probably a gold mine, it depends on whether it is big or small, but other than that, Xiaodao's interest is more in another rumor."
"Don't beat around the bush and tell me quickly," I said.
"Hey, don't worry, old man. This rumor was also told by my master. It is said that during the Anti-Japanese War, some Japanese found a county chronicle (a kind of inheritance book that records local history and culture), saying that an ancient treasure was buried here.
Tombs of dignitaries. Later, the Japanese sent an engineer platoon down to this cave. In the end, guess what? In that entire engineer platoon, not a single Japanese was able to come out alive. From then on, the Japanese abandoned the cave and stayed overnight.
Withdrew, even the county journal was burned... After liberation, it is said that when villagers went up the mountain to collect firewood and passed by this cave, they could occasionally hear some strange Japanese words coming from the cave, and the shadow of Japanese soldiers.
... As to whether this is true or not, Xiaodao cannot say.”
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, this is all what my master spent a lot of money to ask the old people in the surrounding villages. Hey, now the trails are told to you for free. When the time comes, there will be gold mines and other things that can be yours, but the tomb of that dignitary can be
If you want to make the trail a good one... bah, let's do a good archeology, Professor Li, don't you think so?"
I'm not sure whether Zhou Xiaoshe's words are true or not, but I saw that Li Wenhai's face, which was originally ashen, had regained a bit of life.
For him, a crazy archeology fan, he could risk his life, but he had to examine ancient times.
"Little Taoist Priest, is what you said true? I have also heard in some unofficial history that this place was once a small tribal country called Nanrong in ancient times. Later, Nanrong was quickly overthrown and annexed. You think, if this place is
If there are ancient tombs, does it have anything to do with this small tribal country called Nanrong?"
"Professor is really knowledgeable. I haven't read a book, so I can't tell you accurately whether this is the ancient tomb of Nanrong." Zhou Xiaoshe laughed dryly.
Li Wenhai was a little disappointed, but soon he became energetic.
He said to me: "Brother, since we can't get out now, we might as well continue going down there. What do you think?"
"Go on?"
"Yes, if there are ancient tombs and gold mines down there, as the little Taoist priest said, then this will be a blessing for the entire archaeological world. Also, I guess the ancient tombs may have something to do with the small country of Nanrong whose ancient history has been lost, such as
If we can explore it clearly, we may be able to solve some of the unsolved mysteries in ancient history... This is my lifelong pursuit, Li Wenhai..."
When Li Wenhai said this, his face turned red. If I had been younger, he would have rushed down there without hesitation.
I frowned when I heard it, and glanced at the dark front. It was like a bottomless pit, so dark that I couldn't see the bottom.
But at this moment, suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to see a strange figure flashing past behind the darkness...
"Old man, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Xiaoshe's voice sounded at the right time, bringing me back to my senses quickly.
I quickly said, "It's okay, maybe I'm blinded."
"Old Tie, what's going on here? I can't get out now. How about we go down and explore?" Zhou Xiaoshe said, licking his face.
I glanced around at Li Wenhai, who was full of expectations, and then at Zhou Xiaoshe, who was eager to try, and nodded slightly.
"Now that you're here, let's go down and explore. I feel that if there are gold mines and ancient tombs here, they shouldn't be far away."
"Old Tie 666, don't worry, there is a trail to ensure that you are safe."
"Hey, I believe in Dahuang and the shotgun in my hand more than I believe in you!"
I put the shotgun on my shoulder, called out to Dahuang, and continued to lead the way with a flashlight.
It was pitch dark on the road, and as I looked around, I couldn't help but think back to the figure I just saw passing by...
Li Wenhai and the others followed behind, and even Li En also took action. Six or seven of the group of people shone their flashlights, which dispelled a lot of darkness.
Seeing the slope of the ground getting higher and higher, we soon came to a pool.
At a glance, I saw that the pool was quite large, with a pool of stagnant water squeezing underneath it, black and green in color, and so deep that the bottom was invisible.
"Don't touch the wall when entering the cave, and don't enter the water when entering the cave. Let's look for a place where we can cross the water." I said.
Li Wenhai and the others started searching separately, while Zhou Xiaoshe came over and said to me: "I know a lot. I even know the basic principles of not touching the wall when entering a hole, and not entering the hole without entering water."
"These are the lessons that our predecessors paid for with their lives and blood. If I remember them more, I might be able to live a few more years," I said.
What I said is true, don’t touch the wall when entering the cave, and don’t enter the water when entering the cave. I mean that after entering the cave, don’t touch the wall easily, because ancient people like to write something on the wall, and there are many trigger devices for the mechanism.
They are all hidden on the wall. If a person entering the cave accidentally touches these triggering devices, he will most likely be shot into a hedgehog by those mechanisms. As for the lack of water, the reason is simple. The tombs of the ancients
Most of them are places that have been dead for hundreds of years. If a pool of stagnant water has been stored for hundreds of years, it is inevitable that something will not grow out of it...
