"Also, there are rumors among the people that paper figures with painted eyes can attract ghosts and make the paper figures act like living people." Zhang Wenshan looked at Chen Sipi and frowned slightly, as if seeking an answer.
Chen Sipi glanced at Zhang Wenshan and said lightly: "Those are just legends. No one has ever seen them. They are just used to coax children."
He paused and then continued: "Just like the walking master, he is also a legendary existence."
Zhang Wenshan looked at Chen Wenjin and thought to himself. Chen Wenjin once said that he had seen Zhang Qilin and claimed that Zhang Qilin sent the body.
However, she has never been able to provide any conclusive evidence, so that seeing is believing.
Zhang Wenshan couldn't help but feel helpless and said:
"Do you really believe that Zhang Qilin has become a walking master now?"
Chen Sipi looked at Chen Wenjin and said calmly: "Wenjin is no longer a child. I believe she will not lie about this kind of thing."
"Besides, he doesn't do himself any good by doing this," he added.
Zhang Wenshan pondered for a moment, but still felt that this incident was too bizarre and unbelievable. After all, the corpse was delivered by those white-clothed sedan bearers, not a walking master. He shook his head and sighed:
"Forget it, the Zhang family has been looking for news about Zhang Qilin. If he has any news, the Zhang family should be the first to know."
"But thank you for niece Wen Jin's kindness." He thanked her politely.
Chen Wenjin curled her lips at this time, looked at Chen Sipi and asked: "Father, does our family also have corpses brought by sedan bearers?"
Chen Sipi nodded, "Same as the Zhang family, they went directly to the ancestral hall after they arrived, and they couldn't call out."
He paused and continued: "If the situation is the same, then if we go back now, we might see eight paper figures in the ancestral hall."
"I think this may be related to the black shadow captured on the monitor." He further analyzed.
"Except for the Hao family who didn't take a picture of that figure, all the other families in the Nine Gates took pictures of that figure. Although they can't see their faces clearly, they are similar to what you described. They are all wearing black outfits."
However, Chen Wenjin was even more confused, "But Mr. Yin Yang doesn't seem to use this kind of technique? And with his ability, there is no need to go to such trouble."
"Mr. Yin and Yang?" Chen Sipi suddenly looked at Chen Wenjin and asked curiously.
Chen Wenjin nodded and explained: "Well, a very mysterious existence who knows some yin and yang techniques, but I don't know anything else."
"I don't know him very well, but we all saw him when he was collecting corpses by the river," she continued.
"Many of the things he said later came true. He even guessed that there was a smuggler on our ship. It was really interesting!" There was a hint of admiration in her tone.
Chen Sipi was originally a little interested, but when he heard what happened later, he couldn't help but shook his head. Apparently, Mr. Yin and Yang was somewhat different from what he imagined.
Seeing that Zhang Wenshan was not in the mood to continue the discussion at this time, he suggested softly: "Let's go too. There are still many things at home waiting for us to deal with."
Chen Wenjin nodded, and then took a deep look at the body in the sedan and the eight paper figures carrying the sedan. Her eyes were still full of doubts. Besides Yin Yang Inn, who else in this world could have such great ability? Send all these bodies back?
Is what the old man playing chess on the street said true? The master behind this incident suddenly sent back the surviving member of their nine sects. What did he want to express?
At the same time, in the lush Miao border mountains, a team was slowly walking towards a canyon.
Although the mountains here are not as majestic and majestic as the mountains in the north, they are green, ancient and vigorous, and the dark and layered rocks give off an ancient atmosphere. Between the mountains, the intermittent mist makes the already hazy mountains even more charming.
At the front of the team was Professor Jin, the leader of the archaeological team. There was no scenery on both sides in his eyes, only a canyon not far ahead.
"When we get to the canyon ahead, we should go down to where Kuiliang's tomb is!" He said firmly.
"Yesterday, people from the technical department found a piece of copper nearby. Judging from the patina, it should be from the Ten Kingdoms period. Although the characters on the patina can't be seen clearly, they feel very similar to Kuiliang's characters!" He continued to explain! .
"Comrades, work harder, we should be able to find the gate of Kuiliang's tomb today!" he encouraged the team.
At this time, Huo Xiuer followed the team and walked towards the canyon. As he looked at the scenery on the roadside, he couldn't help but think of what Hao Xie once reminded him: if you really encounter "that kind of thing", hold your breath and don't move.
Although he didn't quite believe that there would be that kind of monster next to Kuiliang's tomb, he believed that Hao Xie wouldn't lie to him. It's just that Hao Xie has never been there, so how can he be so familiar with Kuiliang's tomb?
Professor Jin glanced at Huo Xiu'er, couldn't help but smile and asked: "Huo Xiu'er, look now, we are about to find Kuiliang's tomb, and the death worm you mentioned has not yet appeared. Now you should know who to believe, right?" ”
Huo Xiuer curled her lips, shook her head and said, "Wouldn't it be better not to show up?"
Professor Jin smiled disdainfully, glanced at the lush mountains in front of him, and continued: "Death worms will only appear in the Gobi and deserts, because the soil there is looser, so it will be easier for them to move. But obviously not here. There is soil suitable for them to live, so there is no chance of dead worms appearing.”
He paused and then said: "Forget it, think of something good. After all, if nothing happens today, we should be able to find Kuiliang's tomb."
After speaking, Professor Jin took the lead and walked to the front of the team.
Half an hour later, the archaeological team successfully arrived at the edge of the canyon and then looked down the canyon. At this time, the bottom of the canyon was filled with clouds and mist, making it impossible to see what was below. It's just that this canyon is in the shape of a bowl, like a chimney extending up. But because of the clouds and fog, they couldn't see what was below at all.
Professor Jin looked at the surrounding cliffs, then at the clouds and mists below, and then said: "Kui Liang's tomb should be down there. Why don't we go down and have a look now? By the way, where is the gate of Kuiliang's tomb? . When the comrades from Kyoto come over, you can go directly to the tomb and take a look!”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the archaeological team members showed a kind of uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
They all expressed that they had been waiting for a long time and were finally going to find Kuiliang's tomb.
However, at this time, Huo Xiuer's eyes showed a hint of displeasure.
Although she suppressed her words and said nothing, she was obviously dissatisfied with Professor Jin's words.
It seems that what happened in the archaeological team will spread throughout the team the next day.
"Hey? Do you feel it? It seems like it's getting a little hotter here?" an archaeological team member said suddenly.
"Really? Hey, this is Miao territory, isn't it normal for it to be hot?" another person responded.
"But I feel like it's hotter here?" the first person confirmed again.
"It seems so. I feel the same way. What's going on? When we were walking in the mountains just now, the wind was still cool. How come it's hot now?" Another person was also confused.
Several people looked at each other, and then under the leadership of Professor Jin, they tied the safety rope on the top of the canyon and then tied it to themselves.
Professor Jin could not wait to stand on the edge of the canyon, looking at the clouds and mist below the canyon, his eyes full of anticipation.
He murmured to himself: "Are we finally going to see Kuiliang's tomb today? This is a major historical discovery!"
He paused and continued to sigh: "I found Kuiliang's tomb today. I don't know how many unofficial histories will appear? I don't know how much history that we have misunderstood will be revealed!"
Professor Jin looks to be in his fifties, but his movements are not slow at all.
He seems to have become much younger because of the discovery of Kuiliang's tomb.
He looked back at the archaeological team, then waved his hands and encouraged loudly: "Comrades! History is waving to us!"
After saying that, Professor Jin took the lead and climbed down the rope. At this time, the other archaeological team members couldn't help but follow the safety rope and climbed all the way down, and Huo Xiuer was no exception.
However, the further they went down, the more the archaeological team members felt that the temperature below became hotter.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, the mountain began to shake, and the safety ropes hung by several people also began to shake at this moment.
Everyone screamed and couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Oh, what's going on? Is it an earthquake? Why is it shaking so hard?"
"This feeling is so strange, doesn't it feel like an earthquake?" "There seems to be something crawling underneath?"
"Professor Jin, is there something hidden under here?"
Before anyone could finish their words, a deafening roar came from the depths of the canyon.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the clouds and fog in the canyon suddenly dispersed.
The members of the archaeological team were surprised to find that there was a huge crater hidden under the canyon.
The crater has been buried by yellow sand and turned into soft sand.
At this moment, they were witnessing two mountain-like ridges in the sand, constantly moving through the sand.
Look at the size of the bulge, it's at least as big as a truck.
Professor Jin's eyes widened and he looked down in disbelief.
"Down here..."
"Surprisingly..."
"There really is..."
Before he finished speaking, a huge bloody mouth suddenly emerged from the sand and headed straight for the archaeological team members on the canyon.
"Oops! That thing is coming!"
On the canyon, all the archaeological team members were hanging on safety ropes. When they saw the huge death worm below, they all turned pale with fear.
They were scared and couldn't help but stare down.
The death worm was so huge, about ten meters long, and its body was thicker than a millstone.
Viewed from above, it looks like a wriggling red intestine, with countless horns and fangs sticking out from the thickest end.
At this time, the death worm seemed to feel the presence of the archaeological team. In the small area of the desert under the canyon, more and more sandbags began to bulge upward.
The people on the archaeological team never thought that one day they would be so afraid of seeing sandbags.
At this time, someone couldn't help but ask: "Professor Jin, didn't you say there wouldn't be monsters like death worms here?"
"What the hell is going on?"
Other archaeological team members also asked in panic.
"Yes, Professor Jin, this is not a death worm, so what is it?"
Professor Jin's face was red at this time, and his eyes were filled with fear.
He looked at the squirming death worms below, his whole body felt cold and his scalp felt numb.
When he was on the plane, he heard Huo Xiuer saying that there were death worms here. He was very disdainful, but he secretly checked the information afterwards.
According to the information, this bug is five feet long, so it should be about one and a half meters long.
So he believed that even if they encountered such a thing, they would not be completely powerless to fight back.
But now seeing such a huge death worm below, Professor Jin couldn't help but curse secretly.
What the hell is this?
Is this a death worm?
It’s completely different from what’s described in the information!
The image characteristics are consistent with the data, but the body shape is nearly seven to eight times different!
Upon hearing the archaeological team member's question, Professor Jin couldn't help but shouted loudly.
"How do I know?"
"The information says that this thing can only appear in deserts and Gobis. Who knew there was a desert here?"
“This is Miao territory!”
"Have you ever seen sandy areas in Miao territory?"
"Besides, is this thing really a death worm?"
"The longest death worm recorded in the data is five feet!"
"It's almost fifty feet. Don't say I've never seen it before. I don't think anyone in the world has really seen such a big death worm!"
“If you don’t believe me, go check the information!”
Hearing that Professor Jin was still defending at this time, everyone couldn't help but feel cold.
What they want to hear is not Professor Jin's defense, but to know if there is any way he can escape from this danger.
"What information are we checking now? People are going to die!"
"That's right, if you are bitten by this thing, your bones will probably be chewed to pieces!"
"It's really over this time, damn Professor Jin, you tricked us!"
"Okay, stop arguing and think about what to do first?"
"What else can we do? Climb up?"
Huo Xiuer looked at the sandy ground below the canyon with a serious face at this time, her eyes full of fear and even a trace of regret.
She regretted not listening to Hao Xie's reminder and regretting that she had no judgment.
Between the opinions of Hao Xie and Professor Jin, in the eyes of outsiders, Professor Jin's opinion may be more authoritative. After all, he is a professor of archeology.
But as the only child of the Hao family, a family of nine overturned families, Hao Xie knew as much about ancient tombs as Professor Jin did.
And in terms of practical experience, Hao Xie has been to many more ancient tombs than Professor Jin!
One is from personal experience and the other is from reading books. There is no way to compare the two. (End of chapter)
