The platoon leader and I lit a torch, each held a rifle, and went down to the coffin store.
I raised the torch and looked up.
The crypt was about twenty meters away from the coffin shop.
The cracks were natural and there were no artificial traces.
Below was a very wide passage, seven or eight meters high and ten meters wide.
The ground was paved with large rectangular stones, and water droplets oozed from the walls.
It felt chilly to the bones when I was there.
Gulan's generation has deep water and soil, and it is not easy to see underground water.
The water seepage here is only more than 20 meters underground.
This is related to the special geographical environment of Shibeidian Village.
The basin is already low-lying, and it is the rainy season, so it is It will be like this.
If this was really an ancient tomb, then the objects in the underground palace would have been almost completely damaged by water.
The faults in the earth are very obvious.
In addition to the cracks we came down from, there are many fractures in the tunnel.
It seems that this place is in an earthquake zone.
Fortunately, although the structure of this tunnel is simple and simple, it is very strong and there is no sign of collapse.
The militia platoon leader pointed to a nearby place and told me that when he first came down, he saw a stone platform there with a rectangular stone box on it, weighing about twenty kilograms.
Take it out At first glance, there were six ancient jade beasts that were as red as blood.
I have never seen that set of stone boxes and jade beasts, and they are now being kept by people from the village committee.
I asked the militia platoon leader: "What does it look like further inside?"
The militia platoon leader shook his head and said: "The stone platform is in a house built of stone.
There is no way forward, but there is a hole in the ground of the stone house.
It is very deep.
I used a flashlight to shine inside.
What?
I didn’t even see it, I felt the wind blowing from inside and I got goosebumps all over my body.
I didn’t dare to look anymore, so I ran back with the stone box in my arms.
By the way, there was the sound of water below.”
At this time, the people behind were also descending into the crypt one after another.
I saw that everyone was here, and I counted the number of people.
I told them not to shoot casually, but to wait for my order and to look carefully first, so as not to accidentally injure Professor Sun. and another archaeologist.
Shiry Yang and I, plus the four militiamen led by the militia platoon leader, totaled seven people, carrying four rifles and lighting three torches.
There were many people and guns, and the target was two hundred yuan in labor fees.
Everyone became more courageous and followed me deeper into the tunnel.
This large but not too long tunnel was very clean, without any unnecessary things, not even a mouse.
As we walked, we put our hands to our mouths and called out to Professor Sun.
However, in the empty tunnel, except for bursts of There were echoes and the sound of dripping water, but there was no other sound.
When we got to the end, as the militia platoon leader said, there was a stone house, which was about the same size as an ordinary house.
It was built with round stones.
The door opening was semicircular and there was no obstruction.
Although At first glance, it looks like it was built by man, but it feels like it is completely natural.
It is rare to see such a building in history.
Could it be that the blind man really said that this was some kind of place where gods made alchemy.
I asked Shiry Yang if he could tell what this stone house was used for.
Shiry Yang has never seen such a house, so we walked through the doorway and entered the house.

There was nothing here except a stone bed.
The stone bed is flat and smooth like a mirror, unlike the stone beds in ancient tombs.
After looking at it for a long time, we couldn't see anything special.
There is a square gap on the floor of the stone house, which is the entrance to the tunnel with a 45-degree tilt. , it was very deep down there, I looked inside with my flashlight, but I couldn’t see the end.
I saw an artificial gentle slope to go down.
Professor Sun probably went down from here.
I shouted several times inside, but no one responded.
I had no choice but to lead everyone down first, leaving two militiamen to guard the entrance, just in case.
After walking down the slope made of rubble filled soil for a long time, I heard the sound of water flowing.
I was worried that Professor Sun would fall into the water and drown, so I hurriedly took a few steps.
When everyone went down to see, it was a man-made manhole.
There is a small pool in the middle of the cave.
Under the flashlight, the water in the pool was dark black and bottomless.
It was unclear whether it was living water.
There are several large iron rings on it, hanging from it are several large iron chains that have sunk into the deep pool.
The strange thing is that the chains are dark and dark, not like they are made of iron, but I can't tell what material they are made of because there is no rust on them. trace.
The giant chain was straight, sinking into the pool at one end, as if something heavy was hanging on it.
We wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but the thick chains suddenly shook violently, causing a series of ripples in the calm pool water.
Entering the depths of the cave, in addition to Shiry Yang and I, there were also two militiamen led by the militia platoon leader.
Suddenly we saw the chain that fell vertically into the pool shaking, and we couldn't help but take a few steps back.
There is no wind in this cave, and there are no waves in the pool.
How could such a heavy chain shake out of thin air?
Is the thing hanging under the pool by the giant chain a living creature?
What kind of creature needs to be locked up with such a thick chain?
I glanced at Shiry Yang, she also had a blank look on her face and shook her head at me.
I have encountered countless adventures in my life, and I have seen some strange things.
However, facing the water pool under the tunnel and the thick iron chain, I really can't find any clues.
But regarding the whereabouts of Professor Sun, there is only one clue.
Take the risk and pull the chain up to see what's underneath.
At this time, the militiamen became nervous.
Since ancient times, the land of Sanqin has had strong folk customs.
For these local peasant militiamen, if they are allowed to face enemies with live ammunition, they may not retreat.
However, the superstitious ideas here have been deeply rooted for thousands of years, and they have not gone to the fields.
Before digging into the cave, the villagers were talking about everything.
When we were there, the militiamen were naturally suspicious when they saw this strange situation.
The militia platoon leader said to me: "Chief Qian, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."
The other two militiamen also said: "Yes, yes, I am afraid that the spirits in the Yellow River are locked up, so don't act rashly to avoid causing disaster."
I listened to the militiamen talking to me, and my eyes were never idle.
I had to find some reasons to convince the militiamen, otherwise they would all be scared away, leaving only Shiry Yang and I with nothing to do.
I looked around at the situation around me.
Shibeidian Village is a small basin, not far from the Yellow River.
I have never noticed the Feng Shui situation.
There are definitely no tombs of nobles here.
Although the environment is very good, it can even be said to be a peaceful place.
It is a fairy cave, but there is too much underground water, so it is impossible for anyone to be stupid enough to build a tomb here.

The wide tunnel and the stone house at the end of the tunnel don't look like tombs.
I'm only familiar with ancient tombs and don't know much about other ancient buildings, but the stone bed in the stone house is a bit weird.
There are two types of stone beds in ancient tombs.
One is for placing the coffin of the tomb owner, which is called a tomb bed.
The other is for displaying artifacts, which is called a shrine.
The one in the stone house is more like a display. of the altar.
There is a small cave at the entrance of Tankou.
Even if it ends here, there are no branch roads or secret passages.
Professor Sun and another archaeological team member must have entered this cave, but there is no trace of them here.
Could it be that they were attacked?
What happened?
I fell into a pool.
The entire cave has obvious traces of artificial excavation, and the scale is not very large.
Several thick iron chains pass through the roof of the cave and are connected to a reel in the corner.
It seems that it can be raised and lowered.
I reached out and touched the chain.
It was indeed made of iron, but the outer layer was coated with anti-rust paint, which made it look dark and dull.
Then I saw that the iron chain that had sunk into the pool was still shaking slightly.
It must not have been washed away by the undercurrent under the pool.
There must be something alive.
Could it be that the iron chain was tied to a giant turtle or an old dragon or something like that?
Don't tell the militiamen anything.
I suddenly remembered what the blind fortune teller said.
The old man was just talking nonsense, but it had a miraculous effect on these villagers.
I might as well follow the cat's example and use superstitious thoughts to deal with superstitious thoughts.
Anyway, the most urgent task is to pull the things out of the pond and find Professor Sun as soon as possible.
So I said to the militiamen with a determined expression: "Comrades, the time has come for the motherland and the people to test us.
Our heads must be cut off and our blood must be shed.
Our fearless revolutionary spirit must not be lost.
Let us work together to remove the iron chains from the pool."
"Drag it out" The militia platoon leader didn't wait for me to finish my words, and rushed to me and said: "Chief Hu, my Chief Hu, you can't pull him, you can't pull him, this iron chain is holding the old monster in the Yellow River, it's going to be a disaster."
Don’t dare to do big things casually.”
To be honest, I didn't know what I was feeling, but on the surface I tried to act calm and calm, and I said to the militia platoon leader: "Comrade platoon leader, don't you remember what the famous fortune teller said?"
Yes?
The blind man in your village is the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, Liu Bowen, and Zhuge Liang in ancient times.
He knew for eight thousand years in advance and five hundred years later.
Zai, he said that this is an immortal cave.
I think he is probably right, because I saw this description when I was researching ancient materials.
The thing that fell in the pool must be the incense burner used by Taishang Laojun to make alchemy, and there is food in it.
We must have discovered these elixirs first.
According to international practice, we should.”
Internationally, for things that are first discovered by individuals, the discoverer seems to have some rights, but I couldn't remember it for a moment, so I quickly asked Shiry Yang: "What is the international practice?"
Shiry Yang said for me: "According to international practice, the first person to discover it has the right to name it."
As soon as I heard that naming was not enough, I then said to the militiamen: "Comrades, do you understand the right to name?"
I pointed to one of the militiamen, "For example, brother, your name is Li Dazhuang, then as long as you are willing, the elixir we discovered can be It’s called Da Zhuang Dan.

When scientific researchers mass-produce this elixir to benefit the people, we have made a great contribution to the party and the people.
The most important thing is that it is first come, first served.
The five of us discovered it first, and everyone can get it first.
Just try a few pills, I have the final say on this matter.”
The three militiamen made me dizzy with their chatter.
Look at me and look at you.
When one of them was on top, they all believed what the blind man said.
The second one also admired the vanity of establishing achievements.
The third one also admired the vanity of establishing achievements.
Who wouldn’t want to take a handful of the elixir of immortality?
But there is still a concern that has not been eliminated.
Since what is hanging down from the chain is Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, why does the chain shake from time to time?
I secretly thought that something was wrong, the nights were long and I had many dreams, and if I let these militiamen guess, my lie would not be right: "Why does this iron chain move?
Yes, it moves because of the immortal energy of the elixir in the furnace."
"Flow, do you think this elixir that will make you live forever and cure all diseases is just like the traditional Chinese medicine pills, black and smelly?
Each of these elixirs has spirituality.
After all, it is not an ordinary thing in the world."
After listening to my words, the militiamen nodded repeatedly, thinking that this was the truth.
It seemed that the thing tied to the chain was not a spirit in the Yellow River, but must be Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace.
They rolled up their sleeves and prepared to take action.
The militia platoon leader suddenly thought of something, walked up to me, and whispered a few words into my ear.
After hearing this, I smiled and said to him: "Comrade platoon leader, don't worry, there is no disease that cannot be cured by the elixir." , This is nothing to you.
This elixir is specially designed to treat yang, but it will not lift, it will not be strong, but it will not last long."
The other two militiamen laughed loudly as they listened, which made the militia platoon leader blush a little and yelled at the two men: "Don't laugh so hard that you can work quickly."
Shiry Yang felt a little unsafe and whispered to me: "Lao Hu, I think the things tied by the chains in the pool look like some living things, and they were pulled out so recklessly, right?"
While the militiamen were preparing to turn the rocker, I said to Shiry Yang: "Don't you still trust me?
Don't worry, I only have one life, just like you.
How can we make fun of our safety?
I've seen so many The situation is reasonable.
I have never seen it.
Looking at the Feng Shui situation here, I dare to guarantee with the heads on my neck that there will never be any ancient tombs, so there is no need to We are worried about Zongzi.
Moreover, the natural environment here is unique, and it is not a deep mountain forest.
It is expected that there will not be any ferocious beasts.
Even if there are, they will be tied up with iron chains, and we have rifles to defend ourselves, just in case.
Professor Sun is down there.
If we delay in taking action, wouldn’t it cost his life?
Of course, it’s too late to take action now, so let’s just leave it to fate.”
Shiry Yang said: "It's not that I'm not worried about you, it's that you've never done anything to make me feel reassured.
Why don't you speak well to those villagers, but you talk about the elixir of immortality?
I think you are better than that The blind fortune tellers are not reliable.
If the chain is lifted later, there will be no elixir.
Let me see how you explain it to them. " I said to Shiry Yang: "I'm not as blind as the blind man.
That old man can pinch and calculate and talk nonsense.
Now I have no choice.
Otherwise, those militiamen are unwilling to die.

I think The winch needs to be turned by three or more people.
It can't be done by just the two of us.
If there is no elixir later, you have to help me smooth things over and don't let me be in trouble alone. " After the militia platoon leader was ready, he greeted me from the side.
Shiry Yang and I stopped talking.
We stuck the torches on the edge of the pool, each held his rifle, pulled the bolt, and waved to the militia platoon leader: "Do it."
The militia platoon leader led two other militiamen, turned the rocker, and rolled up circles of iron chains on the winch like fetching water from a well.
Unexpectedly, the mechanical principle between the winch and the reel chain was designed so ingeniously that only one person, instead of three people, could slowly roll the chain into the winch using 80% of the strength.
As the iron chain sunk into the pool rose, Shiryy Yang and I and others all had cold sweat on their hands.
Whether the thing under the pool was a living creature or something else, we would soon find out.
My heart He couldn't help but follow the thick iron chain to slowly rise and lift it up.
The iron chain was rolled up for more than ten meters, and only a fraction of the water in the pool was visible, and something dark emerged from the pool.
The militia platoon leader shouted: "My ancestor, as Chief Hu is talking about, he is probably the furnace where Taishang Laojun burns elixirs":
