They had only excavated this corner. They still didn't know the scale of the tomb because the second door at the back of the tomb hadn't been opened yet. The old man leading the team felt that if they opened the door rashly, it might cause damage to the cultural relics inside. Therefore, he decided not to open the door until the conditions were right. According to their investigation around the tomb in the past few days, the tomb was likely not visited by tomb robbers. That was to say, the tomb was very well protected. The cultural relics inside were still there. It was likely to be a big discovery.
"This damned weather." The young man looked outside. The rain was still falling.
"Well, the rain is a bit annoying." The old man looked up at the weather and then went back to the tomb.
He was very interested in the sculptures in the tomb, such as the evil spirit statue in the middle of the tomb. It was rare in the tombs of the same period. After all, this kind of thing was regarded as an ominous symbol in ancient times. It was hard to imagine that someone would design such a statue. What was the purpose of it? It was to act as a gatekeeper to prevent outsiders from entering the tomb.
It had to be said that the statue was very realistic. The image of the evil spirit was very scary. When they first came in and saw the statue, several of his students were shocked.
There were also carvings on the walls on both sides of the tomb. The content was of soldiers in leather armor and holding guns fighting in all directions. The person in the lead was riding a horse with a sword in his hand. The image was very tall.
Further behind the tomb door were carvings of Buddhist Arhats and Guardian Vajras. This was understandable. They were to protect the peace of the dead in the tomb.
First, there were evil spirits. Then, there were gods and Buddhas. What was going on behind the door?
Just as the old man was thinking about the problem, a shout suddenly came from outside, "Oh no, someone is dead!"
"What's going on?" He frowned.
In the past few days, there had been problems with the excavation of the tomb. This also made the people involved in the project emotionally unstable. He had encountered such things before. He could only try his best to comfort them. If someone wanted to leave at this time, he wouldn't stop them.
"I'll go out and have a look," the student who had been with him for many years said.
He didn't go out for long and came back. He didn't look very good.
"Sir, someone is dead. It's a worker who participated in the excavation."
This is troublesome!
The old man thought to himself.
Previously, the construction team wanted to give up on the project because someone was injured. They only agreed to continue digging under the conditions of their persuasion and increase the price. Now that someone had died, the construction team would definitely not continue. Moreover, it cast a shadow over the minds of the archaeologists who participated in this archaeological work.
"This place is too evil!"
"I've asked a Feng Shui master to come over and take a look. This place can't be dug.
"Ah, Old Zhang's son is getting married next month. What should we do?"
The people outside were already discussing animatedly.
The people in charge of the construction team came over and found the old man in charge of the archaeology. No matter what, they would not continue the excavation work.
In just a few days, two were injured and one was dead. Fortunately, he had bought insurance for these people. However, this was not good. He did not earn a single cent from this business. Instead, he lost money.
Without the construction team, the following work would be hindered.
"Teacher, I'll contact the new construction team right away," a student beside him said.
"Alright."
It was still raining heavily outside, and the sky was extremely gloomy.
In the temporary work shed, several archaeologists gathered together to rest.
Drip, drip, drip. Something was leaking.
"Where is the rain leaking?"
"Look, look, don't damage the tomb."
Thud. An archaeologist stood up and walked a few steps. He suddenly fell to the ground.
"Lao He, what's wrong with you?" Several of his companions hurried over. As soon as they saw the man's face, they were pale and short of breath.
"Send him to the hospital!"
The man was sent to the hospital. Several people followed to help. There were only three people left.
"Forget it, let's all go back," the old man in charge of the team said.
He contacted the government department of the county and asked them to take care of the security work of the cemetery.
At night, the auxiliary police were on duty in the simple work shed.
"Damn it, this is the wilderness," one of them complained. "How can we look after a grave here at night?"
"What can we do? We are newcomers," another person said.
"This … This place is not haunted, right?"
"Don't scare yourself."
Woo, woo.
"What's that sound?"
"The wind."
"Hey, let me smoke a cigarette!" As the man spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket. As soon as he lit it, a gust of wind blew in and put out the cigarette. He lit it again and put it out again. It repeated several times.
"This is strange!"
The two men's faces changed.
It was very unlucky to look at a grave in the forest in the middle of the night.
"Hey, look, isn't that statue moving?"
"What move? Don't scare me!"
The two men looked at the statue of the evil ghost in the tomb at the same time.
It bared its teeth and looked ferocious. A pair of bell-like eyes seemed to be staring at them.
Whoosh. A gust of wind blew in.
Click. The light went out. It was dark inside.
Click. There was a crisp sound.
"Damn it!"
"Ghost!"
The two of them rushed out of the shed and into the rain. They rushed down the mountain in a panic.
On the hill, the work shed stood there quietly. It was dark.
In the rain, the two men ran wildly. They didn't know where to go.
"There, there is a village!"
In the dark night, the wind and rain were blowing. They couldn't see the road clearly.
"Ah!"
The two running people suddenly disappeared.
It was still raining.
In the People's Hospital in the nearby county …
"Doctor, how is he?" Several archaeologists surrounded a doctor and asked.
"His situation is not good."
He fainted inexplicably. His heart rate was irregular. It was accompanied by a certain degree of heart failure. His blood pressure was very high.
"Does he have a history of heart disease and hypertension?"
"No, he had a physical examination last month. Except for kidney stones, all his other indicators were normal!"
"That's strange. How could he have such a disease? By the way, what is his occupation?"
"Archaeology."
"Archaeology?"
"Yes, we just came down from a grave."
"A grave?" The doctor was stunned again.
Could it be that he had run into a ghost? He almost subconsciously thought in this direction.
"Should he be hospitalized first?"
"Oh, OK." They helped to go through the hospitalization procedures.
"What's going on?"
"Hey, he was fine at the beginning. He was talking and laughing. Why did he suddenly die?"
"Hey, do you think there is really a ghost?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hey, it's not impossible," the doctor said. "You see, we haven't had a smooth journey since the beginning of the excavation. When we just started the excavation, people were injured. This afternoon, people died. Now, Mr. He is like this. Didn't the Feng Shui master say that there was something wrong with the ancient tomb?"
"You're scaring yourself."
"Professor, you're here."
"Why are you here?"
"How is Mr. He?" the old man asked.
"I've already checked him. His condition is not very good."
The old man personally went to the doctor in charge and carefully asked him again. After knowing that the old man was a professor from a famous school, the doctor naturally answered more carefully than before.
After coming out of the doctor's office, the old man said to the people waiting outside, "If it's not good, observe him for one night and transfer him to another hospital tomorrow."
"OK."
"Professor, I'll drive you back."
One of the people drove the old man back to the hotel to rest.
The night passed just like that.
The next morning, the rain was a lot lighter.
When they reached the top of the hill, they found that the two auxiliary policemen who had been guarding the tomb in the evening had disappeared. The problem was that the car was still on the mountain road below.
"Hey, where are they?"
At first, they just thought that the two of them had gone somewhere and would be back soon. But after waiting for a long time, they still didn't see them. Then, they looked around and found the flashlight in the grass. They became anxious and immediately mobilized people to look around.
They didn't find them on the top of the hill, so they looked down the hill. However, they didn't find them in the village at the bottom of the hill.
Finally, they found two people in a big pit near the village. After several days of rain, the big pit was full of water. The two people floated there. When they pulled them out, they were no longer breathing.
Two more people had died!
