Shiry Yang was observant.
She checked again and said with a smile: "At least we found Fatty and Professor Li.
You see, the dust on the sundial has been wiped.
As expected, Old Li couldn't help but start archaeological investigation again. ” I said there was no dust at all when I first came in.
Together with Professor Li, he acted as a thunder feng for the owner of the tomb and removed the dust from the sundial.
Wang Qingzheng also squatted down and studied it.
He pointed at the board curiously and asked: "Why is there one less square here?"
"One less square" "Although I can't understand these words, they are inseparable.
They should represent the time.
But they are not evenly distributed.
You see, there is an extra trace of blank space between the top two paragraphs.
This is not like the day after tomorrow.
It's worn.
Could it be that it's a defective product?
It wasn't engraved properly from the beginning, so it's missing a moment."
"I think Professor Li noticed this and wiped the sundial so clean on purpose.
He wanted to study it carefully.
They can't go far.
Let's go find someone first.
Let's leave this thing to the archaeological team for study."
Although I think there is something wrong with this sundial, I can't put my finger on it.
Anyway, it's important to find someone now.
I'm not a researcher, so I don't care how many hours you have lost.
After confirming that Fatty and the others were inside the ancient house, I breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Young Master Wang ran towards the back room happily.
I was about to follow him, but was pulled gently by Shiry Yang.
I turned my head and found that her face looked wrong.
She held a flashlight in her hand and whispered to me: "Look over there."
Then she fired the flashlight towards the wall on the right.
I followed the beam and saw a black shadow lying on the wall like a ghost, watching us furtively.
I immediately shouted loudly, and the thing disappeared into the darkness with a whoosh.
How could I let it escape so easily?
I ran forward with a lunge, stepped on the edge of the ancient well and jumped up onto the wall.
Unfortunately, the thing slipped away too quickly.
By the time I climbed up, it had completely disappeared into the darkness.
Shiry Yang said to me under the wall: "Come down.
When I first entered the house, I felt something was staring at us.
It had been lying there when we squatted by the well to check the sundial."
My heart was full of self-blame.
Logically speaking, I should be the most vigilant at the moment, but I didn't notice it at all.
If it weren't for Shiry Yang's reminder, I don't know how long it would take for that ghost to follow.
I jumped off the wall and asked her if she could see who it was.
She shook her head and said, "At first, I thought I was too nervous and had an illusion.
When I noticed it, I couldn't find the opportunity.
Your roar just now was too exaggerated."

Otherwise, we still have a chance to catch it.”
Young Master Wang was also frightened and came out of the back room, grabbed Shirey Yang and asked what was going on.
"Why is there someone spying on us Japanese?"
He opened his eyes and glanced around, "Why didn't I notice it?
You read that right."
"We all saw it.
I wish it was them."
"What's the meaning" "You forgot where we are again.
This is a haunted house.
Apart from us, there are only dead people left.
Please tell me, if it is not those little devils, what else could it be?"
Actually, most of the reasons why I say this It's to cheer myself up.
A real enemy is better than an enemy that cannot be seen or touched.
I really don't want to think about other situations, but as far as that weird black shadow is concerned, I'm afraid the actual situation will not be better than I imagined.
Shiry Yang urged: "Anyway, everyone stays awake and pay attention to the surroundings.
By the way, did you find anyone after you went in just now?"
"Isn't this nonsense?
He made such a big noise that the ghosts were scared out of him."
Wang Qingzheng glared at me and continued, "It is indeed a bit strange inside.
There is only one door in the empty room, but there is a nail on the door.
It’s full of wooden boards.
It’s too dark inside the room, and I couldn’t see anything clearly after looking at it for a long time.
Do you want to break it open and investigate?”
"No need."
After seeing the black ghost, I was even more worried about Fatty and the others.
Since they were not in the house, it was better to leave as soon as possible.
"I think it's better to check it out."
Shiry Yang didn't want to leave.
"I don't know where they went for a while.
We don't know anything about this underground dead city.
There is an opportunity in front of us, so we might as well check it out." check."
Wang Qingzheng looked at me eagerly, and I said: "Since everyone said to look, then let's look, anyway, there will be no missing piece of meat."
When the reactionary leader Wang Dashao heard that he was going to remove the door panel, he took the lead and rushed into the back room.
I said: "Is this child scared out of his mind?"
Shiryy Yang said: "He is too stressed and needs to vent, just let him go."
I said: "I never thought that the son of a capitalist would also be exploited for his labor force.
"Counsel Yang, you are simply the reincarnation of Marx."
She said "poof" and then entered the back room.
I didn't dare to wait, and immediately chased after him.
After entering the room, I realized that what Wang Qingzheng said was absolutely correct.
This room was exactly the same as the one in the front hall.
There was nothing in the house, except for the boarded-up door.
I peeked inside through the gap between the wooden boards.
It was just as Wang Qingzheng said, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.
The horizontal and vertical wooden boards on the door are all nailed together with wedges, and the wood has long been integrated with the wood.

Fortunately, this thing is old and it's not difficult to take it apart.
Wang Qingzheng went up and kicked half of the sealing wood.
I said, "Be quiet, Professor Li will hear you later.
It's another capital crime for destroying cultural relics."
After saying that, I pushed him away and stepped forward to pull the rest of the boards.
Originally, I planned to remove the entire piece of wood and create a gap where I could stick my head in.
Unfortunately, the four-corner nails were too strong, so there was no other way but to break them by force.
Shiry Yang and I worked together to open half of the seal.
Before I could take a breath, a chill came from the dark room.
I picked up the flashlight and took a look.
There was no difference in layout between the sealed rooms and the ones outside.
The only difference was that there was something extra in the center of the room.
Wang Qingzheng was horrified: "Why is there a coffin in this place?"
I never imagined that there would be a coffin hidden in a remote and desolate ancient house, or that it would be sealed in such a deep and hidden dark room.
At that moment, the only reaction in my mind was that the coffin should be opened and an autopsy conducted.
Shiry Yang probably saw what I was thinking and rejected my idea without hesitation: "Unless we remove all the wooden boards, it will be difficult to go in and investigate.
Look at the size of this door frame.
Even if it is unobstructed, It can only allow one person to enter and exit.
If there is danger, there is no place to evacuate.
Another point is that Fatty and Professor Li have been away from the team for a long time.
I have a feeling that I must find them as soon as possible, otherwise something will happen. " "That won't work.
Why are we here to rob tombs?
How can we just leave when we see a coffin in front of us?"
Wang Qingzheng ignored our obstruction and kicked the wooden board that sealed the door a few times.
Smashed.
When I saw that there was nothing that could be done to stop him, I said to Shiry Yang, "You guard the door while I and this kid go in and take a look."
She sighed, put the flashlight into my arms and said, "I'm going too, it's just the two of you, don't worry."
Even after clearing out all the wooden boards that sealed the door, the entrance still seemed a bit narrow.
"This door is obviously several times smaller than the normal one.
I don't know what it was built for in the first place."
"All the doors here are just decorations, only this one is nailed shut.
Who do you think will be in the coffin?"
I was preoccupied with the coffin and had no time to think about Wang Qingzheng's problem.
Shirey Yang and I were standing at the head and end of the coffin.
She lowered her head and said, "It's the same nailing method as the door outside, but this time the wedges are driven in vertically, and the coffin boards are dozens of thicker than those outside."
Times.
Forcibly demolishing the coffin will definitely not work, and it is even more disrespectful to the deceased to destroy the coffin at will."
"Since we have to open the coffin sooner or later, why don't we care about how to do it."
Wang Qingzheng took out his pistol and threatened to smash it.
I pushed him away and warned: "Everyone has their own rules, and this place is not for mischief.
It belongs to other people."
It’s immoral enough to disturb a haunted house without permission, and you’re planning to shoot.”
He snorted and said angrily: "It's sealed so tightly, I want to see how you open the coffin."
In the past, when we went to the tomb, we always carried the equipment to "raise the coffin and make a fortune" with us.
However, this trip has been full of twists and turns, and there is not even a handy thing around.

When I was in the camp, I asked Vice Captain Zhang to prepare the equipment.
He actually said that all the funds allocated by the superiors were used to buy shovels and pickaxes, and other equipment was temporarily in short supply.
Fortunately, I was smart and asked the auto mechanic for a pry bar just in case something unexpected happened.
Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy at this moment.
An extra coffin appeared out of nowhere, and I couldn't restrain my curiosity.
According to local legend, the person buried in the Youshui Tomb should be a noble concubine from the late Ming Dynasty, and the Qin Tomb had been hidden in this deep mountain long before the Ming Tomb.
Professor Li said that this ancient city was built in imitation of the water towns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the people in the coffin were obviously not from Qin.
But it is unlikely that the body of the tomb owner would be buried casually in such a dilapidated place, so who would be lying in the coffin and what relationship does he have with the tomb owner?
I handed the pry bar to Shiry Yang and told her, "It's still the same old rule, open three sides and leave one side."
Wang Qingzheng asked why, Shiry Yang explained: "The coffin cannot be completely opened, leaving one side to close the door to prevent the corpse from being lifted up."
He was surprised: "There will still be zombies lifted up."
"Nonsense, you think the body is for nothing, and you don't want people to resist.
Just stay here and don't hinder our work."
He was startled by our serious expressions, and obediently retreated to the exit.
Looking at that posture, it was estimated that if something went wrong later, he would be the first to run away.
I took out the dagger I carried with me, inserted the knife between the wedge nails and the gap between the coffin, and started the long-lost activity of raising the coffin.
Shiry Yang used the end of the pry bar to press the nail, and then pried it hard and repeatedly.
The wood and iron were constantly rubbing against each other, making a creaking and shaking sound, and an oppressive cold air inexplicably emanated from the originally silent dark room.
Wang Qingzheng shivered and looked outside, then at Shirey Yang and me.
"Don't you think the temperature has suddenly dropped a lot?"
Although I agree with his statement in my heart, I don't have time to think about other things at the moment.
Shiry Yang quickly pulled out the nail on her end, then walked up to me and said, "Be careful, I always feel this place is uncomfortable." followed by a long and slightly sharp "crunch" sound , I finally pried out the wooden bolt in the center of the coffin.
Wang Qingzheng stretched out his head and said to himself: "Forget it if it's a rotting corpse, I'm not interested in seeing that thing."
Shiry Yang and I pushed the coffin open together, and both of them covered their mouths and noses with their hands and turned their heads in other directions.
When the coffin was first opened, there was no corpse rushing in front of me as I imagined, and there was no sign of a fake corpse.
I raised my flashlight and looked inside the coffin.
There was a dried corpse lying in the coffin.
The flesh and blood had long since dried up.
The hands of the corpse were tightly tied to both sides of the body.
This was a common burial method in ancient times.
In order to prevent the new corpse from being picked up, residents in some places would tie the limbs of the corpse with hemp rope dipped in cinnabar.
Shiry Yang took a look and breathed a sigh of relief: "The bones in the joints are cracked, and I can't get up even if I think about it.
But the identity of this person deserves to be thought about for a while.
I don't know why he was parked alone in the ancient house. ” "Strictly speaking, it can't be considered a morgue.
It was originally in a tomb, and the person was buried long ago."
Seeing that the body looked normal, I joked, "Maybe every household here has a coffin like this.
Didn’t I say in Tomb No. 1 that this was a large clan tomb?”
