I was startled as soon as I entered.
Under the swaying beam of the flashlight, I saw many unexpected things placed in the hall.
I wondered why there were so many "weird-shaped" stone lions in front of and behind the house.
Suddenly A long bolt of lightning shot through the sky like a dragon, instantly illuminating the inside and outside of the hall as bright as snow.
From the windows and back door, one could see that the backyard was filled with strange stone beasts.
Taking advantage of the lightning and thunder, we saw that the lonely building of the Feng family residence was full of strange stone beasts, and we were full of doubts in our hearts.
I walked closer and shone again and again with my flashlight.
I saw that the stone beast had a ferocious face and a round body.
It was somewhat similar to the stone lion in front of the door, but it had no majestic temperament and could only make people feel evil and abominable.
I have never seen such a stone lion.
Why is it so ugly and ferocious?
Shiry Yang said: "These stone beasts are not like lions that guard the house, but they are like stone sculptures guarding the tombs in the mausoleum area."
Sun Jiuye also put on his spectacles and looked at it for a long time: "It's definitely not a stone lion.
The mane is like a sword, the ears are surprisingly big, and the nostrils are pointing upward.
I think it's a black sheep.
If you want to visit the earthly immortal, you should first look for the black sheep.
The black sheep, The black ghost is a pig.
I have never understood the relationship between the Dixian Ancient Tomb and the black sheep.
I originally thought of asking the meat factory to find out, and it turns out that there is such a stone carving of the black sheep in the world. " Yao Meier is a local, but she has never seen these things, so I had to ask Sun Jiuye: "Is the black sheep stone beast an ancient totem or a stone statue of the Zhenling Tomb?"
Professor Sun said: "It's hard to judge, the shape of the black sheep is They have all been transformed into ghosts, and the style is very strange.
Strange, I have never seen any mausoleum with this kind of thing as a tomb, and it doesn't look like a Shinto totem."
After saying that, he took out his notebook and started writing and drawing, describing every detail of the stone beast to make it.
An important reference for finding the "Tomb of Earth Immortals".
I can't imagine how the black sheep stone beast could be placed in the Feng family's house.
The world in "Qingxi Town" has changed so many times that it is impossible to speculate.
Since I have no clue, I have to make random guesses.
In order to save battery, Fatty and I lit a few candles to light up the place.
We found a dry place in the building to set up a stove and boiled some hot water first so that everyone could eat and rest.
Seeing that the terrain of this ancient town is complicated, tomorrow is Lots of work to do.
I walked up and down the building again and looked at every room.
I saw a wooden table and chairs in a room on the second floor.
They were all simple modern furniture.
There were many drawings hanging on the table and wall.
I looked carefully.
Look, the drawings are all about tunnel and mine structures.
The progress of the project is marked in detail.
I used to be an engineer and knew how to read drawings.
When I saw these drawings, I suddenly realized what I was doing.
It turned out that when the "air raid shelter" was built in the Qingxi area, Fengjiazhai was the construction headquarters.
Later, the international situation changed and the project was immediately abandoned and ineffective.
Even these drawings were not taken away during the evacuation.
In addition to a layer of dust, those "Wuyang Stone Beasts" also had traces of underground soil.
They had obviously never been cleaned up.
They should have been excavated from the ground by the construction team.
Before they could be processed, they were thrown away because of the interruption of the project.

At the command post.
Maybe the area where the "Wuyang Stone Beast" was unearthed is not far from the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb".
I quickly rolled up all the drawings and took them downstairs to tell everyone about this discovery.
At this time, the fat man cooked the vacuum macaroni we carried.
Everyone had been hungry for a long time, so they ate while studying the map of the air raid shelter.
Yao Meier asked the fat man what kind of food it was.
It was so delicious.
The fat man said: "This is an American product, girl, but the taste is really bad.
It is definitely not a trend of Fatty's craftsmanship.
The main thing is that American macaroni is this kind of thing.
It is said that if an American wants to commit suicide slowly, he will eat it every day." this."
I don't care what the taste is, as long as it fills my stomach, I can quickly resolve the battle in three or two mouthfuls.
I looked at the time and it was only nine o'clock in the evening.
Although I felt a little tired, I still managed to gather my energy and look through the maps carefully.
I took out the few that I might need and decided to go explore the underground air-raid shelter tomorrow.
Explore.
Shiry Yang asked me what my plan was.
I unfolded the map, pointed to the icons on it, and told her my idea: "The Qingxi Air Raid Shelter is a historical product of the period when holes were dug deeply to accumulate grain.
I estimate that a large building was built here."
The scale of the air raid shelter should be the same as here There are many underground mines, and this is also true from the drawings.
The construction team has transformed the semi-natural and semi-artificial caves into vertical and horizontal combat readiness facilities.
However, the drawing also shows that there have been many landslides and flooding.
Water, the project is not going well.”
I used the elimination method to circle several areas where it was impossible to dig out historical sites.
All the mountains near Qingxi were hollowed out, including the salt well mine tunnels and places converted into air raid shelters, including the underground of this ancient town.
It is also empty.
There is no "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb".
We should focus on the "vacuum area".
Shiry Yang was the one who nodded in understanding, and immediately understood what I meant, and said: "It makes sense.
Is the vacuum area the so-called blind area of the mine vein?
The last unearthed location of the Black Sheep Stone Beast must be an area where the engineering tunnel and the mine tunnel do not overlap. ” I said yes.
Before the construction of the combat readiness air-raid shelter, the nearby mountains and rivers were thoroughly surveyed, which saved us a lot of troubles.
Now that we know the important hint of "if you want to visit the immortals, look for Wuyang first", the preferred destination is , is naturally the most likely place to excavate the "Wouyang Stone Beast".
All the mine tunnels are excavated according to the trend of Wu Salt veins, so they are extremely irregular.
From the analysis of the drawings, only the westernmost section of the Qingxi combat readiness shelter was newly opened as needed.
The original mine tunnel was not used at all.
Moreover, according to the standards on the drawings, the underground tunnel at the west end has not yet been completed, which shows that this section The construction work in the area has been carried out to the end.
As for the actual situation and next steps, we have to see it on the spot before we can grasp it.
Shiry Yang gained a little more confidence: "I'm not afraid of a mess of clues, but I'm afraid there won't be any clues at all.
Now that we've found some clues, we can finally find the ancient tomb in Dixian Village by peeling off the cocoons."
Professor Sun listened for a long time and said in agreement: "Hu Bayi is a veteran and has experience.
He grasped the key points of the work as soon as he arrived in Qingxi.
Captain Feng, who was detained in the labor camp with me, was also a After many years of fighting He was probably ruined by the commanders in the army because he was so good at fighting.
He was not a submissive person at all.
Seized American guitar Pu, eating American canned food, once a US military plane flew through the eaves of the house to check the household registration, and the bombs were thrown in front of his eyes without hurting a hair on his face.

How could such a person be able to eat cornbread in a quarry honestly, so he was determined to escape.
Go back to your hometown.
I always thought it was impossible for him to make it here alive, but now that I think about it, those of you who have truly been tested by war are indeed extraordinary, and you don’t know Captain Feng."
At the end, he was full of worries. fell into deep thought.
I advise Sun Jiuye not to think too much.
Some people suspect that you murdered Captain Feng, who has been missing for many years after absconding, but there is no proof.
In fact, only villains who want to harm you can judge like this.
They don’t think about it.
With your actions With Master Jiu's ability, even if he did it secretly, he might not be able to stand up to Commander Feng.
That Master is a volunteer corps-level commander who has fought with the US military, so it makes sense for the organization not to convict you.
Anyone with some brains can figure this out, but I haven’t officially clarified it for you.
I think that as long as Captain Feng could really escape here, he would have probably hid in the "Dixian Village Ancient Tomb".
No matter whether he is dead or alive now, we will find him.
Your unjust case will be settled by then.
Now that we have a preliminary action plan, there is no need to worry anymore.
Everyone assigned the order of the night watch, and then fell asleep listening to the rustling rain outside, saying nothing all night.
The next morning it was still rainy, and Qingxi Town was full of pits and mud ditches.
After the rain, the mountain roads were too muddy to walk on, so we had to decide to go down through the tunnel in the backyard and head to the combat readiness shelter on the west side.
It is said that this tunnel was originally a secret passage, because before the liberation, the Feng family residences were mostly the residences of landlords and mine owners.
Because of the unstable social situation, warlords and bandits were rampant, and the mine owners who mined witch salt were mostly rich in gold, and they were all His hands were stained with the blood of mine slaves.
In order to prepare for unexpected events, in addition to keeping a group of "death warriors" in the house, as servants who look after the home and care for the home, they also deliberately leave secret passages so that they can escape quickly in the event of an accident.
However, almost all the secret passages left behind were destroyed during the construction of civil air defense facilities.
The hidden entrances were exposed and the interior became part of a large air raid shelter.
The so-called "air-raid shelters" are not just for the people to avoid air raids and bombings.
At the very least, they also have the function of "three defenses".
At that time, the imperialists were obsessed with destroying themselves and always clamored for "surgical strategic bombing" against China.
In order to actively Prepare for war and defense, all over the country Only then did they carry out "digging holes deeply and accumulating grain widely" on a large scale.
A big role of this kind of underground facilities is to conceal and store a large amount of war preparation materials, ranging from missiles and aircraft to food and clothing.
It is completely Designed and built according to wartime requirements, the scale is quite large.
This area underground in Qingxi Ancient Town is full of connected arched warehouses, all built in former mines.
The light gray cement walls give people a very solemn and cold look.
Where the cement has fallen off, you can still see the rock formations of the original mine tunnel, and local water seepage is very serious.
Although there is a lighting lamp every ten meters in the air-raid shelter, the lines are affected by dampness, and the simple power generation equipment has long been damaged and can no longer be used.
The only way to illuminate it is with the "Wolf Eye Flashlight", relying on the reference provided by the map and compass.
Moving forward, this underground passage is not difficult to walk, and there are obvious signs at the intersection.
All the way west in the underground passage, the damp smell inside the air-raid shelter gradually became stronger.
Halfway there, I encountered a cave that collapsed and I could no longer follow the original route.
I took out the map and looked at it.
I could only go around the fork on the side.
I then returned to the cross passage and looked at the markings on the map.
If I took the left passage down, it would be an original mine tunnel, leaving the air raid shelter.
Range, there is a fence at the entrance and a wooden sign.
I raised the flashlight and looked at it.
There seemed to be writing on the wooden sign, but it was covered by mud.
The fat man stepped forward and wiped it with his hand.

The red writing was immediately revealed.
The fat man read word by word: "Danger of landslide ahead." , Lao Hu, it seems that this is a mine shaft, there may be a danger of landslide, it is definitely not easy to walk, it is better for us to go to the right to go around. " Shiry Yang held up a flashlight and illuminated the passage on the right: "There are also words on the wall on the right, Dare to fight, Dare to win.
What does that mean?"
I looked up at the slogan on the cement wall on the right.
It was very familiar.
I smiled and said, "You must not understand.
This is called the highest directive.
The map indicates that the right side is a backup channel.
It is relatively narrow and crude, but it is already completed. , Comrades, I think we have no choice when we get here, so we have to go in from the side with the sign. " The fat man said: "Dele, you must have listened to Commander Hu's highest order.
Let's go."
After that, he walked in first.
I was worried that the fat man would leave the group if he walked too fast, so I quickly called to the other three people and followed him forward quickly.
The water seepage in the west passage is more serious, which may be related to the heavy rain overnight.
Although there are drainage pipe openings on both sides, the water on the ground is still as deep as the feet, and the bottom of the cement wall is covered with green moss.
The base of the black and green wall is covered with a layer of snails, and the white flowers are very conspicuous.
There are more snails as you walk in, some alive and some with empty shells left after death.
When you step on it, you will hear the sound of "Crack!"
"Crack" sound of the shell breaking.
Although Yao Meier was brave, she could not help but feel a little disgusted when she was stepping on a mass of dead snails under her feet: "There were so many snails in the past.
They all came out of nowhere."
I turned to her and said: "There is too much water seeping here, and the thick moss attracts snails.
As long as you don't think about it, you won't feel sick.
Follow me closely, and don't fall behind."
I haven't finished instructing her yet. , someone in front heard an "ouch" and fell to the ground.
Sun Jiuye was knocked upside down by the snails everywhere, and his hands were pricked by broken shells.
I quickly stretched out my hand to help him up.
I was a little relieved after seeing that he had not broken any muscles or bones.
He could not rest in this narrow and damp passage, so I asked him to grit his teeth and persist.
Fortunately, Sun Jiuye has suffered a lot and suffered a lot.
People, even if they fall and get bruises on their bodies, they don’t care, they just grit their teeth and keep moving forward.
I saw that there were old and young people in the team, and it would not be a joke if they really broke their arms and legs, so I asked Yao Meier and Shiry Yang to support the limping Professor Sun, while the fat man and I walked in front.
Use the "engineer shovel" to shovel away the large snails on the ground in front of you and clear the way for them
