Chapter 114 The Tomb of the Witch

There was obviously something wrong with the tomb, but the three of Xie Lai insisted on going there again. Ye Qing said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

They don't know that they have had a close encounter with death, and now they have to have another close encounter with it.

Ye Qing contacted Liang Xuyuan, who had no news about Wu Zhili. She decided to go to the tomb with Xie Lai and the others the next morning, and then take the afternoon flight to Shanghai.

Xie Lai sent a text message and made an appointment to meet her at the gate of the hospital at eight o'clock. Ye Qing originally planned to keep Rongsheng and Shi Yin in the hotel, but Rongsheng clung to her.

"Gently..." He hugged her like a koala, his eyes still narrowed.

"It's cold outside, you sleep a little longer, I'll call Shi Yin to accompany you."

Rongsheng grabbed her sleeve and didn't let go, Ye Qing just dressed him, carried him to knock on Shiyin's door, and when he left the hotel, Rongsheng slipped off her body.

When the three of them arrived at the gate of the hospital, Xie Lai and the others had been waiting for a while.

"Sorry, it's late, I brought you breakfast." Ye Qing handed the breakfast to Qi Huaimei who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Thank you." Qi Huaimei took the paper bag and took the bread to Jin Xi who was in charge of driving.

Jin Xi pushed the bread away, and looked at Xie Lai in the back seat: "What are they going to do in the tomb?"

"Ye Qing is a student in the same department as us. Her research in this area is better than yours. She could tell at a glance that the bronze light-transmitting mirror from last time was from the Warring States Period."

"Oh...so it turns out that she is the expert you mentioned!" Qi Huaimei pushed the frame of her glasses and exclaimed, "A senior member of your family is also engaged in archaeology? No wonder she is so powerful."

"It just happened to be right."

"Hurry up and get in the car." Qi Huaimei greeted several people to get on the car: "Thank you for Professor Gu's affairs. The professor is very kind to our students. He will share textbook knowledge and practical experience with us without reservation. He can get better, we..."

"What does the matter of the teacher have to do with them?" Jin Xi interjected.

Qi Huaimei coughed twice, but didn't answer his words, she smiled at him: "Hurry up, it's getting late."

Because of the Spring Festival, there were not many vehicles driving on the urban lanes, and they were able to travel unimpeded all the way.

Qi Huaimei drank soy milk and talked about the situation that day: "...It was really weird. When we first entered, we didn't smell any strange smell, but several of us fainted almost at the same time. In fact...before the coma, I heard a scream."

"I heard it too!" Xie Lai followed.

"Huaimei, I told you that you were hallucinating. I didn't hear any sound, and neither did Xiao Zhang. Everything should be done from a scientific point of view, and there must be a scientific basis. Don't read those nonsense books. Thinking about it is not conducive to objective evaluation..."

When Jin Xi finished speaking, Qi Huaimei just said "oh".

The car fell silent, and no one spoke until the destination.

About the tomb, Xie Lai had already told Ye Qing yesterday.

The owner of the tomb is a witch.

Four months ago, heavy rain fell for half a month in Chongqing, causing a landslide on the outskirts of the city. When workers were cleaning up the gravel and mud, they accidentally discovered a piece of bronze on the ground. After the workers cleaned up the sludge on the ground, they found the original appearance of the bronze.It was a circular bronze plate, about 3.33 meters in diameter, with strange character patterns carved on it. The workers tried to dig out the bronze plate, but the bronze plate grew on the ground like a root. Several big men worked together to pry it out. Can't pry it open.

The worker reported the matter, and colleagues from the Cultural Relics Bureau went to the site to investigate.

Through the patterns on the bronze plate—a woman with a human face and a snake body stands on the top of the mountain, holding a snake in each of her left and right hands, with fairy clouds lingering in between, a row of ladders at the foot of the mountain, and people of different shapes around the bottom of the ladders. The edge of the bronze plate It is engraved with characters mixed with flowers, green plants, birds and animals. Experts in ancient culture have confirmed that it records about witches.

In the Bayu culture, the oldest culture is the witch culture.

In witch culture, the oldest myths and legends are the ten witches of Lingshan.

"Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Xi Jing" records Lingshan, Wuxian, Wuji, Wuyi, Wupeng, Wugu, Wuzhen, Wuli, Wudai, Wuxie, Luoshiwu, and later proved that Lingshan is Wushan .

In "Zhou Li Chun Guan Preface", there are also notes on witches, males are called shamans, and females are called witches.

The main responsibilities of witches in ancient times were, first, to serve ghosts and gods, including divination, prayer, sacrifice, singing and dancing, and welcoming gods, and second, to treat diseases and eliminate disasters.

In addition, there is also a legend that all witches practice the medicine of immortality.

The bronze plate could not be uncovered, so the Cultural Relics Bureau sent professional archaeologists. After detection, they found that there was a large space under the bronze plate. They tried many methods and finally uncovered the bronze plate completely.

And under the bronze plate, there is actually a cave.

The cave is square, with four sides close to the wall, and there are iron pillars on each side. Human skulls are inserted on the top of the iron pillars. Some people count that there are more than 300 skulls.

Under the bronze plate, at the very center of the cave, there is also an iron pillar. Its top is also spiked, but there is no skull on it, but a jade ring.

The jade ring is about the size of a human face, round on the outside and square on the inside. Three indentations can be seen on the body of the ring, and densely packed characters are engraved on the surface of the jade ring.

In fact, the cave connecting the bronze plate looks more like a sacrificial place. It is called a tomb because it took them more than two months to find the main tomb where the coffin was stored.

That's right, the main tomb is just under the iron pillar with the jade ring inserted.

In addition to local archaeological experts, the Yu Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau invited professors from Peking University to participate in the excavation and cleaning work.

Professor Gu brought several students to the cave, but failed to decipher the secrets in the cave.

As the Spring Festival approached, all the staff in Yushi had a rest, and Professor Gu was going to take a few students back, but on the 27th, a jade expert came to help everyone solve their confusion.

"No one knows the characters on the jade ring at all. The jade expert was called to ask him to decipher the characters. Who knows, the jade expert is super awesome. He helped us find the main tomb!"

"He brought more than a dozen bags of blood borrowed from the blood bank. The blood was poured on the jade ring, and then flowed into the iron pillar along the groove of the ring. The rust on the outside of the iron pillar disappeared instantly and became shiny. Everyone heard a click, The iron pillar fell, and the ground next to the iron pillar sank, and a back-shaped staircase appeared!"

"At that time, we didn't go in right away. After the remote control plane was sent in, we saw nothing unusual inside. Early the next morning, we went down to the main tomb, but before we could see what was going on inside, we all passed out."

Ye Qing sorted out what Xie Lai said yesterday in his mind, and the car had already parked outside the witch's tomb.

There is a shield around the tomb, and the only entrance and exit is guarded by soldiers. Xie Lai explained the situation, and the other party only let a few people in after receiving a reply from the superior.

"He's going in too?" Jin Xi glanced at Rong Sheng who was following him, curled his lips, and said to Ye Qing: "His parents are really big enough to entrust the child to you."

Before Ye Qing spoke, Rongsheng looked at Jin Xi.

"Brother, I will definitely not be the one crying in the end."

Missing Jinxi, Ye Qing led Rongsheng inside.

Several people took the elevator into the cave. As Shelley said, there were skulls in sight. They entered the main tomb directly. Shelley lit the wick on one side of the wall, and the entire tomb instantly lit up.

The tomb is as big as the cave above, and the height is less than three meters. It is quite spacious, but there is only one coffin inside.

The coffin is made of wood, and iron chains of different thicknesses are tied on it, which wraps the coffin extremely tightly.
