Bureau of Special Cases Investigation

Chapter 35 [Stepping stone]

"I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true..." Tang Xiao said with gloomy eyes and a pale face.

Legend has it that in the early Qin Dynasty, a Taoist priest who claimed to be the apprentice of Xianren Xianmen offered the Three Heavenly Demons and 66 formations to the First Emperor Yingzheng.The first emperor was overjoyed, and named the Taoist method the Imperial Dragon Formation.The dragon formation can trap three thousand enemies, and it can also be used to prevent tomb robbers from entering the tomb.The Royal Dragon Formation is extremely cruel, and requires 66 extremely loyal Imperial Forest Sergeants to be practiced by Taoist priests and stand in the eyes of the 66 Formation.These 66 soldiers will not enter the reincarnation and will not enter the loess, and they will protect the people in the tomb here forever.

Who is the owner of this tomb?Who else can enjoy this kind of treatment except the First Emperor?

The reason why Tang Xiao's face was livid was because he knew that if the Yulong Formation was confirmed to exist, once the formation was activated, let alone walking out of this mountain, it would be the blessing of the patriarch to survive.

"Could this be...mummy?" Xu Haibin held back for a long time, but couldn't help asking.

"Have you ever heard of a mummy?" Yi Tian's originally smiling face suddenly became extremely serious.

"I've heard of it, but isn't that thing in the West? Pharaohs or something... I don't know much about this." Xu Haibin said.

"They are all poor people who have not reincarnated. The formation here has been broken. It's really lucky~ If we forcefully enter this place, we will probably be close to death." Yi Tian pinched his chin and said.

Nie Yan blinked his eyes. He always felt that this was really a coincidence, as if someone deliberately arranged to bring them here.Facing the eyes of the mummy, he took a sharp breath of air, was he looking at himself?

"Who is so capable of breaking the formation here?" Tang Xiao took off his glasses and wiped the fog on them with the corner of his clothes.

"It may be the senior who came here before." Yi Tian said.

"Are you saying that someone has already arrived here before us? What the hell, you're going to the Savage Mountain alone!" Xu Haibin exclaimed.

"Senior? The Taoist priest who asked the village name to sacrifice, do you know what his name is, Yi Da expert?" Tang laughed.

"I really don't know about this. The Taoist priest had already gone up the mountain when I first came, and never came down again. Being able to reach the central area of ​​the tomb so smoothly, I suspect that he may have brought a knocking brick." Yi Tian thought Here, a brocade box with lacquer carvings wrapped in red cloth was taken out of the bag.He took out another pair of white silk gloves, put them on, and carefully opened the brocade box, and took out a jade stone that looked like a tiger.The whole jade stone is pitch black, exuding a slight chill, only the tiger's head, and the body behind it seems to have been cut off deliberately.

"Dongjun Tiger Talisman! How do you put it in your bag?! Yida expert, how big is your heart!" Tang Xiao's eyes twitched, what a precious cultural relic was randomly put in the bag by this kid, and he took a broken box Pretend.

"Although it's half a tiger talisman, it's not as good as a stepping stone. I think if the senior is more helpful, there should be no danger for us to go forward." Yi Tian ignored Tang Xiao's fury, and instead held the half tiger talisman in his hand, pensive.

"Big brother, what is a stepping stone?" Dong Tongtong didn't seem to be afraid of this mummy at all, but was very interested in the stepping stone.

Yi Tian was thinking, ignoring Dong Tongtong.Dong Tongtong looked at Tang Xiao again, and said with a sweet smile:

"Big brother, can you tell me?"

Tang Xiao was a little puzzled, how could children nowadays be interested in these things, and explained helplessly:

"The stepping stone is a medium of the ancient "combined burial method". In ancient times, quite a few couples could not die together, thus giving birth to the "stepping stone" in the complex tomb, that is, "the first soldier enters the palace, and the second one continues the fate" Key. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, some nobles and officials often built tombs for themselves before they were alive, and set up complex tomb formations or anti-theft tombs. Leave a "stepping stone" to the wives and concubines you loved during your lifetime, so that these wives and concubines can be buried with you smoothly after death, without touching those crooked formations.

In other words, this so-called "stepping stone" is the "back door" to those complex formations.If you want to forcibly break into the general's tomb, even if you have half of his tiger talisman, it won't help.Without this stepping stone, there is only a funeral. "

"It turns out that the stepping stone is so important, big brother, I am a little confused, can you tell me?" Dong Tongtong looked pure and innocent, and paired with the half-kneeling mummy, it looked so weird.Nie Yan looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise. For a moment, he suddenly felt as if he had seen her somewhere before.

"Tell me." Tang Xiao was also curious about what the little girl was going to say.

"Big Brother, could the Taoist priest you are talking about be the Taoist priest who appeared in my dream?" Dong Tongtong asked.

After speaking, not only Tang Xiao looked at him, but even the pensive Yi Tian looked at Dong Tongtong strangely with his mouth open.Only Xu Haibin pulled Nie Yan aside and kept a certain distance from Dong Tongtong.Nie Yan looked at Xu Haibin puzzled, and Xu Haibin whispered in his ear:

"My grandma was very wrong some time ago, as if she was talking to someone. Then she fell down the stairs and was not hurt! She always said something we couldn't understand, and then she started to make trouble, saying that Xu Qi would have an accident. We didn't take it seriously at first, until Xu Qi's accident happened and my dad called me back."

"What happened? What happened later!" Nie Yan said.

"The old lady said that I can only save Xu Qi if I go to the place where Xu Qi's accident happened to call his soul. My father doesn't let me participate in these things. I didn't expect to come here after going around! You say it's a coincidence!" Xu Haibin didn't want to hide it from Nie. Say it to him in detail.

"My God, you didn't say it earlier! What if you are in danger!" Nie Yan looked at Xu Haibin worriedly.Soul?I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend, but the little girl named Dong Tongtong has been talking about calling her soul, isn't it Xu Qi's soul? !

"I... my dad asked me to do something, guess what it is?" Xu Haibin lowered his voice.

"If it's a secret, don't tell me. No matter what Binzi does, his own safety is the most important thing to know!" Nie Yan said with a sullen face.

"We two are good brothers who grew up wearing a pair of pants. I will never hide anything from you, because you are me..." As he spoke, he looked at Nie Yan who was very nervous. Looking at himself seriously, a picture flashed in Xu Haibin's mind, and the dream merged with reality again.

"Zi Chi..." Xu Haibin murmured.

"What?" Nie Yan bent his head and asked in confusion.

"I... what did I just say?" Xu Haibin suddenly had the illusion that he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, rubbed his eyes and said:

"I guess I didn't have a good rest. Listen to me. My dad asked me to investigate someone. Guess who it is?"

"Who?" Nie Yan asked.

"Director of the Second Office, Wang Baichuan." Xu Haibin said.

"How did uncle know about Director Wang?! Why investigate Director Wang?" Nie Yan asked.

"This is the crux of all the problems! The fact that we were sent to Songta Mountain, which is Savage Mountain, was not approved by the director, but Director Wang found Zhou Nan to inform us. Heavy rain, Wangjia Village, curses, going up the mountain, and There is that tomb robber named Yi Tian! Protect him? Just kidding! If you really want to protect some expert comrades, the bureau should have issued a notice long ago. Look at the familiar faces of Yi Tian and Tang Xiao, as if for the first time Strangers you met? That's why I told you to be careful about Tang Xiao! Everything here is so coincidental, isn't it a combination of inside and outside?" Xu Haibin whispered in Nie Yan's ear.

Hearing what Xu Haibin said, Nie Yan frowned and thought about it for a while.But there is still one thing that feels very strange, is that Mao Taoist real?

Here, Yi Tian looked Dong Tongtong up and down, recalling what the little girl said before.Dreaming, calling the soul, Taoist?Does that senior have the ability to enter dreams?From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of that great man who cultivated such a method.He looked at Tang Xiao and asked:

"Young Master Tang, have you ever heard of the Taoism of entering a dream?"

Tang Xiao shook his head and said, "No. I've heard many legends about calling the wind and calling the rain, but this is the first time I've heard of it in my dream."

"Big brother knows the Taoist priest?" Dong Tongtong took a step forward, looked up at Tang Xiao and said with a smile.

"Why do you want to keep mentioning him?" Zhou Nan asked Tang Xiao, standing in front of him.

"Huh~" Dong Tongtong turned his head, put his index finger on his mouth and smiled, looked at Tang Xiao who was hiding behind Zhou Nan, then looked at Zhou Nan and said:

"Can't you mention it?"

Looking at her innocent expression, Zhou Nan felt even more wary in his heart. There was something wrong with this little girl.

"Little girl, who are you?" Tang Xiao pulled Zhou Nan away and came out from behind him and said coldly.

"I'm Dong Tongtong, big brother, why do you ask me so much?" Dong Tongtong blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Tang Xiaotong with an expression that I don't know what you are talking about.

"It's getting dark, should we continue walking or camp in place?" Yi Tian asked suddenly.

The white mist did not dissipate after all, and there was no danger waiting for them ahead.The hazy sky has gradually darkened, and I can't go any further.

"Camp!" Tang Xiao ignored Dong Tongtong and said to Yi Tian and Zhou Nan.With so many people watching here, he didn't believe that this little girl could do anything wrong.

.................................................. .................................................. .........................................

They only brought two tents. They originally planned to sleep in one tent for two, and the other person would take turns keeping watch.But unexpectedly, a group of students appeared and disrupted their plans.No way, Nie Yan gave up his tent and let Dong Tongtong stay with the soulless Liu Jian, Zhou Nan watched from the side, he and Xu Haibin were watching the night outside, Tang Xiao was with Yi Tian slept in a tent.

The white mist became even denser at night, and when the bonfire was lit, the white mist turned into drops of water and dripped down.Nie Yan sat on the ground and turned the bonfire with a wooden stick, while Xu Haibin looked listlessly at the half-squatting mummy not far away.

"Yanyan, the tomb robber said that they are all poor people who do not enter reincarnation, do you think his soul will watch us around?" Xu Haibin said.

"Maybe." Nie Yan said lightly. The flames reflected on his face, and Nie Yan, who had always given people a gentle feeling, became very strange.

"What's the matter?" Realizing that Xu Haibin was watching, Nie Yan turned around and looked at him.

"Nie Yan, do you believe in past and present lives?" Xu Haibin asked very seriously.

The bonfire made a crackling sound, and Nie Yan opened his eyes wide and remained silent for a long time.Plop - plop - plop, as if we could hear each other's heartbeat.

"I don't know." Nie Yan lowered his head and said for a long time.Recently, he has been tortured by strange dreams, and he can't even tell which one is the real reality.When did it start?It seems that it started that night after the girls' school case ended.

"If I say..." Before Xu Haibin finished speaking, Zhou Nan ran out of the tent and said:

"It's bad! Dong Tongtong and Liu Jian are gone!"

Hearing the movement, Tang Xiao and Yi Tian, ​​who were lying in their sleeping bags, also ran out.

"How is it possible! The two of us are outside! No one came out at all!" Nie Yan stood up and looked around.

"Sitting next to her, I didn't relax my vigilance when I saw her fall asleep. For some reason, I suddenly felt dizzy, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye!" Zhou Nan said.

"The little girl really has a problem, but she looks like an ordinary person!" Tang Xiao had long thought that there was something wrong with the little girl, so he asked Zhou Nan to watch her by his side.An ordinary person disappears with another for no reason, this is no longer something humans can do!

Yi Tian suddenly thought of something, ran into the tent, and ran out again with his backpack.I poured out all the backpacks, and the lacquer-carved brocade box that was originally wrapped in red cloth was gone!

Dongjun Tiger Talisman is gone!This bag is right next to his pillow!There is no trace of being turned over!

"Yi Tian, ​​don't tell me that the Tiger Talisman is missing!" Tang Xiao said in surprise.

Yi Tian squatted on the ground, groped for the bottom of the backpack, looked up at Tang and said with a smile:

"Lend me a knife."

Tang Xiao hurriedly took out the dagger issued by the bureau from his backpack and gave it to Yi Tian. Yi Tian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stabbed the dagger into the bottom of the backpack, cut a hole instantly, and stretched out his hand to take out a dirty piece of paper. Yushi let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Yi Tian patted his chest with a frightened look.

Tang Xiao squatted down, stretched his head to look at the dirty piece of jade and said:

"It turns out that you hid the real tiger talisman here, and what you put in the brocade box is a fake? It looks so real, I've lost my eye." Tang laughed.

"It seems that their purpose is not just to enter the general's tomb. It's interesting, hahahaha, it's so interesting!" Yi Tian held the tiger talisman tightly and looked up to the sky and laughed.
