Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Preliminary Exploration of Ancient Tombs

When we arrived at the hospital, Lao Miao had already arrived in the intensive care unit.The small yellow horn taken from the snake's head was put into a white enamel plate, reflecting a brilliant yellow light under the light. Old Zhong first took me to see the dead tomb badger. The nine-laughing mushroom at the corner of its mouth had already bloomed more and more strangely. Lao Zhong looked at his watch, and without saying a word, he led me to Xiao Nie's ward again.Many experts gathered around the table looking at the little yellow corner. An elderly old doctor couldn't stop staring at the small yellow stone with a rather excited expression.The other doctors, who were obviously much younger with glasses, looked at the old doctor with disdain.After a while, they argued again, and I finally understood.It turns out that the old doctor is a well-known expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and the young doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses is a returned overseas doctor. They diagnosed Xiao Nie as "inflammation of the external wound caused an unknown fever", while the old doctor, Lao Zhong and the others The poisoning theory he insisted on denounced as dross and superstition, and he refused to use the old doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan.The old doctor is also very hot-tempered, almost going into a fit of rage.

Lao Zhong dragged the old doctor who was about to go berserk and left the consulting room, facing the experts from the provincial capital, Lao Zhong was also very embarrassed.They are all experts, and what they are arguing about belongs to their respective academic fields. Lao Zhong has no way to judge the so-called right or wrong. Soon, under the intervention of an expert team leader, a compromise plan was formed: first, the young expert used western medicine to diagnose, and then adopted the diagnosis plan of a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.Although it was very cryptic, the distrust of the old doctor was already evident.

The old doctor came out of the ward angrily, and Lao Zhong sat in the lounge with the old doctor and drank tea. Taking advantage of this interval, I began to release the doubts in my heart, and the old doctor and Lao Zhong also began to calm down emotionally. In this way, I learned about this mysterious snake bit through their words. Snake-biting was first seen in the notebook "Yiyuan" which records exotic flowers and plants. It is said that in the past, when a commoner plowed the land, he saw a wounded snake beside him, and another snake held a piece of grass and covered the wound. The wounded snake healed the next day.Afterwards, use its herb to treat sores, all works well.Because it can hold the herb to detoxify and heal wounds, it is also called snake bite.And because snakes mostly feed on medicinal herbs, and males have strange horns, they are often considered heterogeneous and slaughtered. Because of the same male and female caves, the male and female die immediately, and most of them parasitize in highly poisonous places, so they are extremely rare. .

Lao Zhong went on to say that finding this litter of snakes this time was due to good fortune.However, the best advantage of holding a snake to detoxify should be its snake gall, but this time the snake gall was eaten by the tomb badger, which cannot but be said to be a mistake. The old doctor said: "Fortunately, there is the head horn of the male snake, and the little comrade can still be saved!" I asked curiously: "How to save it?" The old doctor was about to speak, but Lao Zhong held the old doctor down, and said with a mysterious smile: "You will know in a while."

I was holding a glass vessel with milky white liquid rippling inside, my face was as red as a piece of burning iron, and I followed a young nurse out of Building No. 3 without raising my head.When I returned to the expert building and met Lao Zhong's teasing gaze, I wanted to pour all the things in my hand on his head. Just 30 minutes ago, the three young foreign doctors had toiled for three hours and still found nothing. Under the gold-rimmed glasses, there were also anxious eyes, watching Xiao Nie's red face dripping with sweat, the old doctor finally couldn't stand it anymore. He roared and drove the three of them out of the consultation room, took out a pack of thin silver needles, and inserted them densely into Xiao Nie's head, neck, chest and the parts bitten by the tomb badger, and then kept Twirling the silver needles in various parts, as his technique continued to speed up, he could see that under the skin, faint black air was gathering around the wound with the old doctor's massage, which looked like a wound from a distance. There are many black tadpoles swimming under the skin.The old doctor wiped off his sweat, beckoned to Lao Zhong to bring the snake horn stone, and then whispered something to Lao Zhong.After hearing this, Lao Zhong laughed ambiguously, and then gave me a malicious look.

Immediately afterwards I was assigned to a little nurse to fetch a jar of the stuff.The little nurse was pretty, with white and tender skin, big eyes, slightly upturned nose, and a little haughty.I followed her out of the small building, across the lawn, and came to another ward.He only looked at the back all the way, and almost bumped into her when he reached the destination.She gave me a glare and ordered me to stay where I was.It took about twenty minutes to bring out a glass container, which contained about two to three hundred milliliters of milky white liquid.I asked curiously: "What is this?" Who knew that the little girl blushed all of a sudden, murmured a few words, handed me the bottle, turned around and left.I was a little baffled, so I walked back after holding it, and looked back when I got out of the ward building: um, the maternity building?I still don't understand, but when the old doctor saw me take this bottle back and said a word, it almost didn't make me lose my breath.He said: "Oh, human milk is the best, if there is no human milk, you have to use milk instead!"

My face turned red when I brushed it. Just now I was shy and asked the little girl what this thing was. The two words that the emotional girl murmured must be scolding me. I will secretly look at that The little nurse, she also heard what the old doctor said, gave me a hard look, then turned and went out.At this time, I saw Lao Zhong looking at me with teasing eyes, really dumbfounded, what kind of elders are you, playing tricks on people like this. Immediately afterwards, the old doctor fully demonstrated the mysteries of Chinese medicine, and even the three guys who drank foreign ink followed to watch the excitement.I saw the old doctor pour the white human milk in the cup into a shallow container, and then put the snake horn stone on the wound bitten by the tomb badger. At this time, he rhythmically twisted the silver needle near the wound with both hands.I saw the black air gathered by the silver needles gathered around the wound as if it were a living tadpole, and the wound was pushed higher and higher, like a crater about to erupt.Suddenly, like a flood flooding open the gate, a black tadpole seems to plunge into the snake horn stone, and the snake horn stone is like a sponge put into the water, quickly attracting these black tadpoles.In just a few tens of seconds, the original yellow serpentine turned into a piece of black charcoal just dug out.The old doctor picked up the snake horn stone with tweezers and put it into the shallow bottom glass container just prepared. The black liquid on the snake horn stone quickly dissolved into the human milk, and after taking it out, it returned to a bright yellow color.The white lotion has turned slightly brown.After repeating this for dozens of times, the dozens of "black tadpoles" were finally successfully drawn out of the wound. After all this tossing, Xiao Nie's breathing gradually stabilized, and her body temperature gradually returned to normal. The whole body is still relatively weak.

The old doctor was wiped off by the nurse, and said with a sigh of relief: "Basically, it is almost under control now. At present, the strange toxin has been extracted. If there is a gall or egg for a snake, I will It can guarantee that he will wake up immediately, but after all, he has been poisoned for a long time, and now he can only rely on his own physique, but it is no longer limited by the time of poisoning!" After hearing what the old doctor said, Lao Zhong was relieved but still not relaxed.Although Xiao Nie is no longer limited by the nine-hour limit of Jiuxiaogu, the fact that she still can't wake up still weighs heavily on Lao Zhong's heart.

I really couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so I boldly said: "How about we go dig up that nest of snakes, maybe there are snake eggs?" Lao Miao also thought it made sense, and said: "This is the season when snakes lay eggs Egg season!" Old Zhong glanced at us, groaned as if he had a toothache, then turned his head and asked the old doctor: "Doctor, how sure are you that he will wake up naturally?" The old doctor slowly stretched out three Finger: "Thirty percent." As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Go, old man, for the life of comrades! Digged the snake's nest!" Lao Miao agreed very cautiously.Old Zhong was still hesitating, so I challenged him again, "If you are afraid of being bitten by a snake, at worst I will go!"

"You bastard!" Lao Zhong was enraged, "Do you know why this kind of snake can cure the poison of the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period? Poisonous plants must have antidote within three steps. As long as it is poisonous, there must be antidote around. inevitable law." Hearing this, I took a deep breath: "Could it be that the snake's nest was made in the tomb of the golden corpse in the Warring States Period?" Old Zhong Yin gave me a miserable look as if he saw an idiot.I continued to be surprised: "In other words, to save Xiaonie, we have to..." I really didn't have the courage to say the following words, but Lao Miao ignored my caution and said word by word: "Yes, we have to dig -Kai-Kan-King's-tomb!"

When I heard this answer, the shock to me was absolutely earthquake-level. Although I had this idea before, it just flashed in my heart like lightning, because I knew that it was necessary to excavate a well-preserved site that was confirmed to be well preserved. What are the consequences of the royal tombs of great archaeological and cultural significance? Even if we sneak in, as soon as the matter is exposed, those big shots from all walks of life in Beijing will suddenly appear beside us like gods, and put on a desperate look. It is far from what this small county-level city can settle. The lotus crane square pot unearthed in the small Xinzheng made the world's archaeological circles tremble. Who knew that there would be hidden under these Warring States tombs? What unknown and shocking national treasure?I sneaked a glance at Old Zhong, only to see that he was frowning and staring at the ground.I don't know what he's thinking, but I know what I'm thinking right now. To be honest, aside from the lofty intentions of saving Xiao Nie, apart from being a bit of an eye-opening curiosity, I also feel a little sympathy for fate. Although I didn't promise Lao Zhong to take Xiao Nie's place, But I already regarded myself as a member of the team in my heart, and I felt a little uncomfortable seeing Xiao Nie lying on the bed. If one day I lay there by myself, would others try their best to save me like this?On the one hand, he wanted to persuade Lao Zhong to sneak into the snake's nest to rescue Xiao Nie, but on the other hand, he didn't want to violate the relevant regulations and make it difficult for Lao Zhong to do so. What he was most afraid of was that if he destroyed the things inside, he would become a sinner through the ages. In short, my heart is overwhelmed. When I was thinking wildly, Lao Zhong suddenly raised his head and said to me: "You and Lao Miao go back first, and I will think of a way. You go back to class first, and I will notify you when there is news!" I glanced at Lao Miao in surprise. Zhong, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Lao Miao grabbed me very quickly and dragged me out. Looking at Lao Miao who was a little abnormal today in surprise, he found that his expression was very different from usual.After launching the Land Cruiser, instead of sending me back to school, he took me to a night market for snacks on Weishui Road in Xinzheng.As soon as the beer was opened, Lao Miao said something that made my blood boil: "Do you want to enter the tomb?" Looking at his determined expression, I knew that this old Miao, who usually doesn't hum or haw, already had a plan in mind.After drinking two bottles of beer, his eyes started to turn red. It was obvious that he was emotional tonight. Otherwise, he would have entered the state so quickly. He knocked me out with a series of words, until I was lying on the bed in the dormitory. , his old wrinkled face still appeared in front of his eyes, and he asked me with red eyes: "Do you want to know why you have double pupils? Do you want to follow Xiangxi to drive corpses? Is there a way to enter the tomb with me?" It turns out that what grandpa said was right, Lao Miao is indeed a descendant of the Laotian family in Xiangxi, and his father was the youngest apprentice of Tian Peishan, the king of corpse exorcising in Xiangxi.His father was also one of them when he dealt with the Japanese by the Yellow River.Similar to Lao Zhong, his eyes were shining brightly when he talked about that period of the past, but unlike Lao Zhong, his story was more of a kind of sadness in it, adding a lot of things that Lao Zhong didn't talk about, but It seems to be deliberately ignoring or avoiding something deliberately. The tomb-robbing heroes who vowed to guard the hero's ancestral tomb did not completely stop the Japanese invaders. When the guards of Kenro Nakai, who is known as China's master, were stripped of their skin and thrown bloody at the entrance of the tomb, the Japanese were aroused. In two days, all the suspicious people who used to haunt the tomb were swept away. In the wilderness in early winter, hundreds of heads suddenly appeared on the dry jujube tree branches. A burst of anger that penetrates everything.In the mist of the morning light, a young man knocked his head heavily on the tree's head three times, and then left without looking back.That person was Lao Miao's father, one of the few people who survived the catastrophe. After liberation, Lao Miao's father became a cemetery keeper, but finally died of an inexplicable and strange disease. At that time, Lao Miao was sixteen years old and had just inherited his father's mantle.But in the same year, he lost his source of income, because the ten-year catastrophe began. Since Lao Miao's father drove away the corpse before liberation, which was a feudal superstition, Lao Miao was implicated in this way and lived a life of wandering around. One day, I ran into the old clock. At that time, Lao Zhong was young and energetic. He had just been personally interviewed by the old man because he solved the mystery of the colored paintings in the Han tomb in Nanyang, and had the honor to introduce the excavation process to the old man. .It was because of this trump card that he was able to lead an archaeological team to work overtime without interference to clean up a large ancient tomb. What a blessing it was to be able to work without interference in that era.But when they were working in full swing, a strange thing happened.The ancient tomb they excavated overlapped with the new tombs of the people nearby. On the night when they had just agreed to relocate the tomb, the coffin in the new tomb was opened by itself, and the middle-aged woman who had just died of tuberculosis was buried in it. Climb out of the grave! As soon as such a weird incident happened, rumors spread everywhere. That night, some people said that they saw the middle-aged woman wandering in the fields, holding a cat in her hand, tearing and eating, and others said that they saw the dead man jumping into the side In a river, he turned into an old hairy zombie. What's even more mysterious is that there are rumors that many children who don't return at night are secretly taken away and eaten by this dead man.Many rumors have intensified that there really does seem to be a wandering ghost prowling around looking for living people to feed on.Many newly educated farmers also began to doubt their beliefs. After all, they were too deeply poisoned by past thoughts. Many people began to believe in some claims. Some people have already started to pour dirty water on the tents of the archaeological team. They believe that these people It breaks Feng Shui, disturbs the dead, and turns the dead into zombies. Faced with this situation, Lao Zhong was anxious and angry, wishing he could shoot the legendary white-haired old zombie, but it was useless!Because since the coffin was opened and the dead body crawled out, except that someone saw it that night, there was no trace of the dead man.If the body cannot be found, those rumors cannot be deciphered. Some ignorant villagers even began to avoid the staff of the archaeological team, and even the daily supply stopped.Lao Zhong had no choice but to drive a Beijing jeep to a county town dozens of miles away to buy some necessities such as daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, etc. At this moment, he ran into Lao Miao, who was being bullied by a few social idlers.After Lao Zhong chased away those hooligans and gave Lao Miao a full meal, Lao Miao wanted to live with this "big official" who was driving a car. In desperation, Lao Zhong took Lao Miao as his labor Hired back to the archaeological site as a soil engineer. But after Lao Miao figured out the current plight of the archaeological team, his words made Lao Zhong's eyes widen.He said: "It's not that the dead body ran away by itself, someone drove the corpse away!" Only then did Old Zhong know that this was the direct descendant of the real mortician.Lao Miao looked carefully at the scene where the dead body crawled out, and after finding a few fragments of straw rope on the coffin, he laughed and said, "This is someone playing tricks!" Lao Zhong hurriedly said, can you find the body?Lao Miao patted his chest and said no problem, but hey, you have to give me a good meal first. After eating two bowls of tiaozi meat, Lao Miao said, "Let that dead man come out by himself in three days!" Lao Zhong was dubious, and according to his statement, all the guards around the new grave were withdrawn, and he stayed away from the archaeological site for several days. appeared on the construction site.Finally, on the night of the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar three days later, Lao Miao quietly took Lao Zhong's hand and said, "Let's arrest the dead together tonight." It turned out that the new tomb was not backfilled after it was excavated, and a tent was set up for the coffin on the spot, and it was planned to move the coffin on another day, but something happened that night.The archaeological site is next to the new tomb.Lao Miao took Lao Zhong and hid in the hole dug beforehand with the others and waited quietly.Finally, in the middle of the night, a sneaky figure approached the open coffin. Lao Zhong was about to go out, but Lao Miao held him and shook his head.The black shadow got under the coffin, and after a while, a shaky black shadow appeared, five centimeters taller than ordinary people.At first glance, it was the lost dead man. Lao Miao casually grabbed a handful of things from his bosom and threw them over, only to see a "bang" ball of blue fire hit the man, and only heard a groan, and the "dead man" fell to the ground. At this time, all the ambushing people rushed up, and when they flashed a flashlight, they saw a thin and small man tied a dead body with a thatch rope on his back. It was the dead body of a woman who had been missing for many days.That person was too thin, and his hands and feet overlapped with the dead body, making it look like the dead body was moving from a distance.Lao Miao laughed when he saw it, and said, boy, your two-handed work of exorcising corpses is too unscrupulous, and the truth is revealed in two or three times, which is really embarrassing to the exorcist.After finishing speaking, he said triumphantly: "It's only you Ye Luzi who believe in the sayings of leaving the coffin for seven days and leaving the evil spirits on the 14th, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to catch you." The corpse was nailed to the bottom of the coffin, but deliberately kept silent, but set up a trap to arrest people according to the rules of the fourteenth lunar calendar. After interrogation, it was learned that this kid was a magic stick before the liberation, but after the liberation, he lost his way of life and had a difficult life. When the archaeological team built a new grave this time, someone rumored that if Feng Shui was used, evil spirits would be born, so they secretly drove away the dead girl's body in a vain attempt. He used this to drive away the archaeological team and re-establish his status as a master in the village. He also released the previous rumors. In this way, Lao Miao was taken under Lao Zhong's tent and followed him in the north and south, until he got married and had a son of his own.His son also learned all his skills, and when Lao Miao was full of hope that his son would be able to study archeology in a famous university and change his family's reputation from wild roads to court theory, the most painful thing happened in his life , his fourteen-year-old son was bitten by a "living corpse" while he was patrolling the tomb with him! It was already three o'clock in the morning, and I was lying on the bed with my eyes open, and Lao Miao's miserable face was still shaking in front of my eyes.The moment he drank the last bottle of beer, this stone-carved man burst into tears at a street stall in the middle of the night. He cried out to me the pain of losing his son in a hoarse voice that was almost out of tune.I stared dumbfounded at this man who never seemed to lose his composure. I never thought that such a painful past was hidden under his calm expression. cried a lot. Lao Miao's son is ten years older than me, and that is his favorite work in his life.When he got this son, Lao Miao had officially joined Lao Zhong's archaeological team. After discovering the ancient tombs in the Central Plains, he moved to Xinzheng to cooperate with Lao Zhong in the protection and research of ancient tombs. Lao Lai De Zi did not let Lao Miao dote on his son wantonly, on the contrary, he had strict requirements on his son beyond the ordinary.His son seems to be clever with a bit of evil spirit. The title of genius seems to be prepared for this child. After entering the second year of high school at the age of fourteen, he moved to Xinzheng No. 1 Middle School with his father's work transfer. He heard that there was a special "variety" After being a young student, the school tested him in all aspects.After the test, a class teacher who had taught five Tsinghua University and three Fudan University in three years went directly to Lao Miao and said, "Let the child play, he can go to college, but don't tire the child." Lao Miao was so excited, he told his son that we must go to the best school to major in archeology, just like your Uncle Zhong.Comrade Xiao Miao has always been in awe of Laozi, and he patted his chest and promised that he would do it.Lao Miao was beautiful in his heart, so he drank two more cups in the evening, and finally agreed to his son's request to accompany him to inspect the tomb under his son's softness. To this day, Lao Miao still regrets the impulsiveness that night. At that time, the country hadn’t put as much effort into the protection of cultural relics as it is now. Except for the professional archaeological team like Lao Zhong who was still tirelessly guarding the underground treasures, no one else paid much attention to the protection of ancient tombs.At the beginning of the reform, many people opened their minds, and the myth of getting rich overnight abounded. One of the widely circulated slogans for making a fortune was: "If you want to get rich, dig ancient tombs and become a millionaire overnight." Some people were lucky, they dug up the clean tombs of ordinary officials from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and quickly developed things like bricks and tiles of the Han Dynasty, but some people stumbled into the tombs of the Warring States period by mistake. The outlook is not so good. That night, Lao Miao thought that he would wander around the confirmed tombs like other nights, and then he took his son back to sleep contentedly.But after the patrol was over, the son insisted on going around for a while, and Lao Miao said on a whim, let me take you to a few large tombs whose identities have not been confirmed. Those tomb owners look like Wang Fei. Hou, but the tomb level is the same as that of the prince, which is very talkative.In fact, the entire cemetery is only a theoretical speculation, and the location and identity of the owner of the tomb have not really been determined, but Lao Miao took his son there to satisfy his wish of exploring. Lao Miao was indeed a little drunk, shaking the flashlight and telling his son that many tortoise shells for divination were found around these unidentified tombs. The cracks on them showed that they were used to predict the outcome of wars and the year of good harvests. , only the ancient princes could divination on wars.The identity of the owner of the tomb is estimated to be a famous person. While Lao Miao was talking endlessly, Xiao Miao suddenly stopped and stared at him with a pair of bright black eyes: "Dad, there is someone in front!" Lao Miao was shocked, only to realize that there was a faint light shaking not far in front of him, he couldn't help frowning, and touched the old clock at his waist, which was a weapon that was rationed to him at the risk of violating discipline.He motioned his son to stay where he was, and then he quietly touched it.When I came to a place with light, I was very disappointed. The scene was in a mess, only a few light sticks that were rare at that time were left there. It was obviously a scene left over from a tomb robbery.But Lao Miao found strangely that the robbery hole was covered by a stone slab, and there was a rope under the slate.Looking carefully under the flashlight, it turned out that the stone slab was the tombstone of a nearby tomb, and the woolen rope was obviously used by the tomb robbers to tie up and descend the cave.At this time, Xiao Miao also disarmed, and followed cautiously. It seemed that the excitement was a bit too much for him tonight. After nailing one end of the rope, Lao Miao and his son worked together to push away the stele. As soon as they took a flashlight to take a photo, they were shocked: there was a person at the other end of the rope! Suddenly, the ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted my memory, and the familiar voice of Lao Zhong came from beside my ear: "Xiao Nie woke up!" The gates may be closed to us forever. "Perhaps, Lao Miao's idea of ​​entering the tomb can no longer be realized." I secretly sighed for Lao Miao.I subconsciously looked at my watch. It has been six hours since I left the hospital. According to the words of the old Chinese doctor, if Xiao Nie wakes up now, it means that there should be no major problems. But what Lao Zhong said next made me tremble again. "Did Miao ask you to accompany him into the cave? Did he tell you about his son again? Did he say that his son was bitten by a dead corpse?" "You...you...how do you know?" I couldn't help but stuttered. "Alas!" Old Zhong sighed, "Let's meet tomorrow and talk about it!" After I hung up the phone, I lost all sleepiness. I was still thinking about what Lao Zhong said and the stories Lao Miao told. , But why did Lao Zhong tell me Xiao Nie woke up in the middle of the night?To him, I should not be very important, but why did Lao Miao drag me into the tomb, and even cried out an almost sensational story uncharacteristically.Really confused! The moonlight outside the window was bright, just like the night when Lao Miao and his son went out together more than ten years ago.The person who was abandoned in the robbery cave was still unconscious after being pulled up.The experienced old Miao knew at a glance that this was a "living corpse" stuffed in the tomb. Legend has it that in the past, two tomb robbers went together, one went down to dig out the hole, and the other responded on the ground. Often the person who went down to the tomb might trigger the mechanism or release the tomb guard beast, which is called "trapped" in the jargon.In this case, the tomb robbers think that they have disturbed the ghosts wandering in the tomb, so they have to throw away all their belongings and get out. If they still covet the treasures in the tomb, both of them will be unlucky or die in the prison. They died under erysipelas or in the thick smoke of poisonous gas. Even if they were lucky enough to escape, they would be entangled by ghosts. The serious ones died of accidents, and the light ones would be extinct.To escape such a fate, the tomb robber must sacrifice a life, that is to say, leave a person to accompany the owner in the tomb. Such a legend has a somewhat cursed meaning.However, there are many greedy people in the world, and some people risk their lives for money. Some vicious tomb robbers often find young people who don’t know how to do it, trick them into digging out the tomb, and store the tomb by themselves. Just seal the opening of the cave, and make the person who took out the light inside into a "living corpse", which is considered a living sacrifice to the owner of the tomb.Later, many tomb robbers carried a goose with a tied beak with them. In case of "trapped", they rescued their companions and used the goose as a living sacrifice for people. Few people were bored with "living corpses". Lao Miao looked around to see if there were any other robbery holes in the tomb. He suspected that there were tomb robbers hiding here nearby.He really couldn't understand why there are still people who understand the insidious and traditional rules of tomb robbers. It seems that there is something they want to get in this big tomb, and they don't hesitate to give up a companion for it. At this time, his son said: "Look, what is this?" He hurried back to look, and saw that the man's face had changed from pale to sallow, and there seemed to be something shining, and Xiao Miao gently touched it with his hand. After a while, pieces of scale-like things fell down.At this time, a nose hair protruded tremblingly from the man's nostril, and it grew longer and longer, and it didn't seem like nose hair. This nose hair was unusually thick, and the tip seemed to be a mallet-shaped ball. It grows slowly at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye.This phenomenon immediately attracted Lao Miao, who was about to go back and inform people.I saw the little ball trembled twice, and opened a small umbrella with a "snap", it turned out to be a mushroom, and there was an image on the mushroom cap, it was a face, a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "Don't!" Lao Miao just wanted to stop, but Xiao Miao had already pinched the mushroom in his nostrils in his hand, but the "living corpse" who was already in a coma suddenly opened his eyes and bit the wrist in front of him. When Lao Miao talked about this, I suddenly understood why Lao Miao insisted on entering the mausoleum this time. Although Lao Miao didn't say what his son's final outcome would be, I knew that in that age when the medical level was not high, Xiao Miao was very likely... I really can't imagine the scene at that time.After listening to the story, I made up my mind that if he wants to enter the tomb, I must accompany him. In the afternoon of the second day, I fell asleep in the class of the department chair very arrogantly. Just after the get out of class was over, someone woke me up and said that there was a police car waiting for me outside.As soon as I went out, I saw Lao Zhong's chubby face, and the first thing I said after getting into the car was: "I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch yet, find a place to eat!" When I was almost done cleaning up, Lao Zhong offered me a cigarette, but I rejected it through gritted teeth: "I want to live two more years!" The first sentence that Lao Zhong said almost made me stick a toothpick in my gums. He said, "Actually, Lao Miao has never been married!" ah?I was shocked when I heard Lao Zhong's words. Lao Miao was not married, so how did Lao Miao's son come from?Could it be that Lao Miao's vivid story was made up?Why did Lao Miao do this?Surprised, I asked a series of questions. "Who says you can't have a son if you're not married? Lao Miao's son was given by the 'Goddess of Mercy'!" Lao Zhong's words made me even more surprised, and the question marks on my head became bigger: "Given by the "Goddess of Mercy"?I'm not listening to fairy tales, am I?I stared at this always rational man with incredible eyes, and it was hard to believe that such nonsense words came out of his mouth. "Do you know why Lao Miao seems so withdrawn?" Lao Zhong's tone was so flat that it was almost boring.I looked at his old walnut-patterned face, and was very dissatisfied that he was deliberately teasing me now. "Do you still remember the story I told you? Do you still remember the little apprentice who recruited everything under the biochemical interrogation method of the Japanese army?" Why did he suddenly mention this at this moment. "Lao Miao bears a heavy heart debt!" His style of speaking with a hammer and an ax has already driven me almost crazy. Suddenly, I thought of something and looked at him in surprise: "You mean..." "That's right, Lao Miao's father is that little disciple of Xiangxi Laotian who was so soft!" Lao Zhong fell into memories again. The story of that year has long gone with the wind, but the memory is still clear and bloody.Lao Miao's father, as the youngest and most beloved apprentice of Xiangxi exorcist Tian Peishan, has won the true biography of Lao Tian.However, it was also this most beloved apprentice who caused the trespassers who guarded the ancestral tomb of the warlord to be bloodbathed by Japanese pirates.During the first raid on the Japanese pirates organized by Lao Tian, ​​Lao Miao's father was slashed heavily by a command knife while he was chasing the dead body. When he was asking for medicine, he was taken back to the stronghold by the puppet soldiers waiting at the medicine shop, and then he failed to stand up to the Japanese pirates. The injection in the white coat said everything that should be said and should not be said in a daze.After the Japanese pirates obtained the information they wanted, they let Lao Miao's father back. This unexpected action caused the trekkers to start to suspect each other, and finally became wary of each other.Because of their split, they were finally forced to the depths of the tomb by Kenro Nakai, and staged a tragic battle to guard the tomb. And Lao Miao's father became the only survivor of this battle, and he will never forget that when his master was dying, when he learned that he had betrayed everyone, he stared at him with ferocious eyes and shouted "You will die!" look.Therefore, Lao Miao's father also warned his son when he was about to die: "If there is no delay in offspring, it is the destiny of heaven, don't force it!" From then on, he was withdrawn and said little, and he owed a debt to his heart. Life often has drama. When Lao Miao was thirty-six years old, he followed Lao Zhong to clean up a Han tomb.Next to the Han tomb is a Guanyin ancestral hall, which is famous for its prosperous descendants.Legend has it that whoever can throw a coin into the mutton fat jade bottle held by the Avalokitesvara will have a fat son.At that time, the Avalokitesvara Avalokitesvara Temple had been dilapidated because of the catastrophe that had just happened. The rest of the archaeologists rested in this Ancestral Hall. When they were bored, they remembered this legend, and a group of people threw copper coins into the Avalokitesvara statue.What is amazing is that Lao Miao can accurately throw copper coins into the bottle almost every time, while other people usually only hit one or two out of ten times.The more amazing thing is yet to come. Lao Miao picked up a child who was abandoned on the side of the road while going out.Now, Lao Miao firmly believes that God gave him his son, and God has forgiven the mistakes made by his Miao family. "I understand, so when Lao Miao's son died in an accident, why did he go crazy? It was because the debt he had already released was suddenly re-pressed on him. He thought it was God's punishment for his father back then. The punishment for betraying a teacher and betraying a friend is also a punishment for him, that's why he insisted on entering the tomb to uncover the mystery of the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period." I sighed like this with a sense of enlightenment. "Yes, so when Xiao Nie was bitten by a snake and was about to become the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period, I was worried about Xiao Nie and at the same time I was worried that Lao Miao would do some outrageous behavior when he got hurt. But Lao Miao kept showing He was very stable, which made me feel at ease, but when he was arguing about how to save Xiao Nie last night, he showed some excitement. Facing the same symptoms as his son, as long as he revealed the true face of the Golden Corpse of the Warring States Period, he would be able to证明他儿子的死完全是意外，并不是他家里背负了诅咒，再加上现在我们身边又有个阴阳探路人，所以我敢肯定他昨天晚上一定说服你跟他下大墓。” “阴阳探路人？谁啊？”我一头雾水。 老钟诡异地说：“除了你，还有谁啊？” 刚刚想追问，有人打开车门进来，是第一次带我走的穿制服人其中的一个，他张口就来了个爆炸性的消息：“老苗家里没人，装备也没了！”他顿了一下，看看我，老钟示意他说下去。“我估计，他已经准备着手进墓了！”说这个的时候，他似乎不是很担心，反而带了点兴奋。 老钟看了看手表，已经是晚上七点多了，差不多再有一个多小时天就彻底黑下来了。他回头问那人：“还没联系上他？”那人无奈地摇摇头：“你知道，他一向不用手机的。”说完瞥我一眼，“我们只有守在这里等他来找这个小兄弟。” 正说话的时候我的手机响了，一个陌生的座机号码。赶紧接通，老苗苍老的声音传出来：“老钟找你去了吧，告诉他，就算是为了我自己我也要进这个大墓，揭开这个战国金尸的真面目，让他不用管我，我已经在墓口了。”说完便“啪”地一声挂掉了电话。 老钟明白了怎么回事之后立刻就发火了：“这个老苗，搞什么飞机，浑蛋！这个大墓是考古界十大凶墓之一，你还要不要命了！”说完就吩咐刚上来那人赶紧开车，飞奔去他的办公室。“老苗啊，你不是为了单单揭开这个战国金尸啊，恐怕更多的是为了卸下自己的心债啊！”老钟喃喃自语道。 就在他们差不多装备整齐准备出发的时候，我很傻地问了一句：“我干吗啊？”老钟这才发现因为着急把我带回来了，随即他大手一挥：“回学校去，别添乱，我们是下去把他拽回来，不是下去探墓。” “你要是不让我去，我就给省文物部门打电话，说你们偷进战国古墓！”我威胁道。“什么？你再说一遍！”面对老钟夹杂着红血丝的眼睛我又重复了一遍刚才的话。他一把抓住我吼道：“那你还愣在这里干什么，还不赶快去选装备，晚了大家可不等你！” 其实我是后来才知道，老钟这老小子一直憋着坏要把我拉进队伍里，可是又担心没办法向我爷爷交代，所以才装模作样赶我回去，后来见我坚决要去，就心里贼笑着顺水推舟了，当然这是我后来才知道的事情，明白上了贼船的时候已经晚了，因为我们已经顺着盗洞下到了大墓的甬道里面。
