Chapter 294 Ruins of Caojiqiu(1/4)
After a loud bang, the iron door that had been locked for many years was closed again. The darkness that came to them was so thick that it could not be dissolved. It enveloped the two of them in an instant. Before the tall girl could express her doubts, she was completely confused.
Trapped in the "Jian 802" air raid shelter that only existed in rumors.
The two of them are getting closer and closer to their goal.
"While the phone still has power, let's quickly find where the monument is hidden." The boy said as he raised the phone again.
There was a strong smell of mildew in the "Jian 802" air-raid shelter. The two could only pull up their collars to cover their mouths and noses, and groped forward bit by bit. However, because the early lighting had consumed too much power, the two
I could only use the little bits of light from my mobile phone screen to illuminate the way forward. These faint lights were quickly swallowed up by the darkness, as if I had hit a high wall.
The tall girl asked worriedly.
"This place has been sealed for many years. Will there be poisonous gas? If we die in here, I'm afraid we won't even be able to send out the distress letter."
The boy waved his hand calmly, pointed to his mobile phone and said: "It's okay, we will use our mobile phones to call the police if we notice something is wrong. After all, this is a residential area, and the mobile phone signal can still be covered - look at this place, it is still full...
…”
But before he finished speaking, the signal area in the upper right corner of the phone suddenly flashed, and then four vertical lines of different heights began to gradually decrease until they finally became a straight line.
"...Well, don't panic. I brought a pen and paper with me, so there is still a chance to write a suicide note."
The boy continued hesitantly.
"Besides, I checked before I came here. Although the Agricultural Bureau dormitory was said to protect the air-raid shelter, in order to save costs during construction, the basement vent was borrowed and combined with the air-raid shelter vent. The two were built together, and the location was probably at
The area between Buildings A and B has become a bit dirty over the years, but the ventilation problem can still be ensured!"
Although the preliminary preparations shown by the boy are not enough to make people feel at ease, they can at least prove that he did not rush into this place that has been dusty for many years. It can still make people feel a little at ease. The tall girl hesitated as if she noticed something.
asked quickly.
"Wait a minute, did you find something else that you didn't tell me before?"
While the boy was groping forward in the dark air-raid shelter, he comforted the other person calmly: "Don't get excited. The other things I found are definitely different from what you imagined - they are all bits and pieces that cannot be connected together."
If I rely on speculation and intuition to explain the clues, it would seem a bit ridiculous, right?"
The light from the mobile phone was only enough to illuminate the distance two or three steps in front of them. The two of them deliberately followed a regular and slow pace to prevent them from hitting obstacles or stepping on nails that might appear at any time in front of them.
Fortunately, what they were worried about didn't happen. The two of them had been walking for a few minutes. All they could see in front of them was the flat concrete floor covered with moss. They didn't even hit the large pieces of dust. Instead, they rolled into a kind of
The strange appearance of strips.
The boy spoke intermittently.
"I heard that the things in the air-raid shelter seem to be related to the Baiyan Cliff Cave Tomb at Lianhua Peak in Wuyi Mountain... This cemetery is located on a cliff and is out of reach. It was not until September 5 to 16, 1978 that there was a tomb.
The archaeological team ventured up to excavate and clean up..."
"I won't repeat the specific archaeological content. You can go to CNKI to read the FJ Provincial Museum and Chong'an County Cultural Center's "Cleaning Brief of Baiyan Cliff Cave Tombs in Wuyi Mountain, Chong'an, Fujian" published in the 6th issue of "Cultural Relics" magazine in 1980... I
It was also by chance that I chatted with Mr. Mei Huaquan, one of the authors, and found out some things they had not included in the report..."
"This steep white rock cave tomb had been opened and closed more than once before they came. According to the identification of the artifacts and traces left behind, the first wave of people should have opened the immortal tomb in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty.
Some later artifacts were put into the letter; the second wave of people arrived at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and destroyed part of the lid of the ship's coffin; the third wave of people should have arrived at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and what they did is unclear..."
"The strangest thing is here. A certain wave of people should have left behind a human skeleton and then closed the coffin again..."
The tall girl frowned and asked: "Leave human skeletons behind? So there were two dead people in one coffin?"
"No, there is only one. This is what the old man couldn't figure out at the time. Even though there are cases of people stealing cemeteries in the local area to change the feng shui, these dead people and coffins have been carbon-14 tested and tree-ring corrected, and they are all 3445±150 years ago.
In the Shang Dynasty, it was impossible for descendants to come to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan after a thousand years, so they would be so enthusiastic about choosing an auspicious place to bury their ancestors, right?"
"So after much deliberation, they recorded the matter separately, thinking that they would form a separate report if they discovered something in the future. As a result, they have conducted many surveys since then, but no similar situation has been found, so they left it alone."
Three groups of people have frequently visited an ancient tomb on a cliff within a thousand years. It is still a deep mountain cliff tomb that is difficult to climb and full of dangers until modern times. The strangeness of this matter is indeed different, but in the final analysis, it is difficult to compare with it.
They are connected to what is in front of them.
"Mr. Mei had been drinking water that day and seemed a little nervous when he spoke. He had always suspected that the clues were hidden in this air-raid shelter. It was also very likely that the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that had flowed into central Fujian had stolen something from the coffin, but he still
He always emphasized to me that unless this air-raid shelter was dismantled and exposed to the light one day, he would never go in here to find out what was going on."
The boy turned a blind eye to such obvious warnings and stubbornly led people into the "Jian 802" air-raid shelter. The girl was also confused whether the old man revealed these contents deliberately to arouse the other party's curiosity.
"Oh, by the way, the old gentleman also lived in this community in his later years. I will take you to visit him another day. Maybe you will find other things."
The tall girl thought and fell silent again.
She would naturally know something about the existence of gully boat coffins in the local area, and she had always believed that burial in cliff caves should be related to the concept of the final resting place of the deceased. These cliff caves obviously symbolized the ideal place for the deceased to gather with their ancestors for eternal life.
The worship of the "origin of the clan" and the "clan cemetery" is not necessarily the "heaven" or "fairyland" in modern people's concepts.
This is because concepts such as "heaven" and "fairy world" are basic concepts formed after the emergence of man-made religion in developed countries. However, in primitive natural religions and clan tribes, it is difficult for people to abstract such ethereal concepts from the complicated and concrete world.
The concept comes——
Unless the ancients of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties really saw something here with their own eyes, something that could be called a "heaven" or a "fairyland"?
Thinking back to the long-standing and extremely strong religious atmosphere of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom since its establishment, the tall girl suddenly vaguely grasped some points of connection between the two, but she was still unable to clearly attribute the two to one place.
If you want to attribute the two, there must be some obvious similarities, and the most famous legendary miracle in Christianity that even radiates around the world is the miracle of Jesus' resurrection from the dead - will this be the same as the fairy letter?
There is some overlap in the legend that the master can change his bones and travel from the underworld to the underworld?
What strange things did the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom see that made them so determined to protect these secrets with their lives...
The two of them walked slowly in the huge and empty air-raid shelter. After an unknown amount of time, they suddenly found a wall with an invisible top standing there. The deep lines were slightly cracked, but they did not look like they were about to collapse. The world in front of them remained gray.
Such a quiet background.
Apparently, the two of them had crossed the central axis of the air-raid shelter and arrived at another boundary of the "Jian 802" air-raid shelter. And relying on the dim light from the mobile phone screen, another very familiar door appeared in front of them.
"Eh? Isn't this the iron gate we just entered through?!"
The legend about ghosts hitting the wall instantly came to mind. Did they stand still for so long and return to the door? Could it be that the invisible residents here did not welcome me and were trying to remind and drive them away in this way?
Fortunately, the education the two received stabilized the disintegrating situation. They suppressed their fear with their willpower, carefully observed the rusty and heavy iron door, and finally found a seal with the words written on it, even though it was stuck on the door.
Wei Jian still stood firm, and there was obviously no sign that it had been opened. It was not the iron door when they entered.
"Huh... It seems to be another door, but the appearance and specifications are exactly the same... Hey, are you sure you want to open it? You see there are traces of cinnabar circles on this seal - this is how it is shot in horror movies. What if this
What should I do if it’s a suppression talisman or something?”
Seeing the girl reaching out to uncover it, the boy was talking nonchalantly to the side, but the girl pointed to the two seals on it very calmly: "...Have you ever seen the revolutionary committee's seal stamped on the suppression talisman?"
After a squeak, the wind of materialism finally blew into the hearts of the two people, bringing them a long-lost calmness. But they never thought that the fear of the material world was already squatting behind the door, waiting for them.
They had also imagined that behind the door there would be deep tunnels, vast darkness, strange stone monuments, or that lonely ghosts were hiding behind the door waiting for opportunities, but they never imagined that behind this ordinary iron door
, will be layered on top of each other like a garbage dump, accumulating countless dried corpses, with protruding limbs and arms and pillows hooked together, human sinews, skin and flesh intertwined with each other, skeletons filling the mountains, white bones supporting the forest, all inward.
They are condensed and gathered together, without any distinction between head and tail, just like the complicated and entangled root system under a thousand-year-old banyan tree!
These mutilated corpses are obviously very old, because they are wearing simple clothes made of hemp and ramie, which are very different from what people wear today. The skin of each body is so shriveled that it looks like a layer of glue clinging to the bones.
, his eyeballs and nose were all sunken and collapsed, and from a distance it looked like his face was covered with black holes, staring at the people coming in from the door.
"Are these the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom..."
These corpses seem to have been piled here deliberately, but if you look closely, you can see something is wrong, because the floor and walls of this secret room are barely maintained by wooden supports, and there is not even a single reinforced concrete structure.
The floors are also covered with dirty dirt, which is completely opposite to the solemn and solid appearance of the entire air raid shelter. It is more like an earth tomb hidden deep underground.
The obviously cut hair, uniform clothes, and knives and guns scattered everywhere indicate that these corpses were not ordinary people during their lifetime. The blood that was flowing on the ground has been completely contaminated by microorganisms and moss after more than a hundred years of coagulation and sedimentation.
It turned into some fluorescent green soil, and with the disturbance in the air caused by opening the door, a strong corpse smell was emitted.
The two people hurriedly retreated out of the secret room and quickly closed the door to block out the smell of corpses. At that moment, they seemed to have returned to modern society from the depths of the tomb. At this time, the power of their mobile phones became increasingly difficult to support, so the two people had to lower the screen brightness again, but this was not possible.
As a result, they could never see how many corpses were stored in the cave...
"In the basement of the old Agricultural Bureau dormitory, a door was built to block the air-raid shelter; deep in the 'Jian 802' air-raid shelter, another door was built to block the corpse cave... Why did they use such a troublesome way to dispose of the corpses? This was built with construction
It’s completely incomprehensible to explain it in terms of cost!”
The tall girl's question was interrupted by the boy's words just as she raised her question.
"Is there a possibility that the original 'door' can no longer block something?"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were instantly horrified, but the ancient monument they were looking for was probably among them. Huge pressure instantly lay in their hearts. Whether to advance or retreat, whether to search or give up, seemed to have become a question for them.
There is a watershed in front of us, and no one knows whether it will be an unprecedented sight or an unspeakable horror after crossing it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, a burst of staggering footsteps suddenly sounded from the air-raid shelter behind you, as if someone was dragging their feet, their movements seemed lazy,
It's like being paralyzed by wind, and the body is wandering around in the air-raid shelter with great inconvenience, stirring up an abnormally flowing cold wind.
The boy's quick eyesight and quick hands turned off the screen of his mobile phone in an instant to prevent the light from attracting things roaming in the dark. The stumbling footsteps soon came to them and approached the two of them, their steps gradually gradually
I became restless, as if I was just a hair away from the thing I was pursuing so hard, but I still couldn't get into the room, so I circled around more and more impatiently.
The girl instantly thought of the strange situation before they entered the air-raid shelter, and suddenly wanted to say something, but she never dared to speak out. She could only repeat her guess over and over again in her heart - I know "that thing" is looking for
What's up!
"That thing" in the darkness suddenly let out bursts of lamentation. The sound was like the whine of a wild dog, or the cry of an owl circling in the forest. It seemed to change from standing to crawling or lying on the ground with a sound.
He began to move restlessly on the ground, slowly approaching the two of them, as if he could smell a certain smell on their bodies.
To be continued...
