Since the night of Jiangbo's accident, everything has been like a flood that burst a dyke. It is impossible to stop the changes in the situation, and it is even more impossible to predict the disaster that will occur next.
Even his own thinking, Qin Cheng found it difficult to control himself.
Most boys are not more careful than girls, but it is impossible to be so careless that the life-saving rope is broken without finding it. No matter how obsessed he is with archaeology, no matter how much he wants to find out, Qin Cheng cherishes his life, and it is impossible to ignore safety. .
At this moment, he was completely far away from Ninghua Village, and when he arrived in Xi'an City, Qin Cheng realized it later.
Obviously before stepping into the tomb, he kept reminding himself to be more careful, not to mention the possible traps, even those terrifying ghosts, he couldn't afford to offend. But then he didn't even know how to pay attention to the changes in the situation, and was completely addicted to it.
It seems that there is a force pushing him forward, restricting his thinking, allowing him to devote himself to the mausoleum and leading him forward.
There are so many things he wants to know, and there are so many things he doesn't dare to touch, just like those grudges in the ditch tunnel, like the nameless nameless person who controlled his thinking and made him unable to escape. 'stuff', and...
Also, the ancient emperor with a casual smile...
Thinking of the scene of witnessing his soul slowly opening his eyes, Qin Cheng couldn't help but panic.
At that moment, he almost mistakenly thought that this person woke up for him...
"Hu-" he sighed deeply, especially in the bathroom with only the sound of clattering water. The hot water washed away the coldness of his body and washed away the mud from the ancient tomb. The fatigue of the day seemed to dissipate a little.
But the heart that has been hanging in the past two months has not dropped a single point.
As soon as he dried his hair, Qin Cheng received a call from Zhang Jun,
"Come down when you're done. We'll meet at the stone carving at the north gate, and go to the food stall to have something to eat and a drink. We'll have a rest tomorrow and Saturday."
"Okay," said Qin Cheng after hanging the towel, "just us?"
"And Wu Hai and Brother Tang, come here quickly, they have already arrived at the North Gate."
"Okay, I'll go out now."
After hanging up the phone and taking the bedroom key hanging behind the door, the whole bedroom was dark as soon as the lights were turned off. In the dormitory of two graduate students, only Tan Cheng was left because the other person moved out. After the roommate of the school dormitory got married at the beginning of the year, he and his daughter-in-law lived outside. The graduate student is in the third year, and almost no one will stay in the school. , Qin Cheng has not had that roommate for almost half a year. Interpersonal interactions are also strange, just like him, Wu Hai and Tang Jiaming, because they are not in the same working group or in the same class, the words they said to each other not long ago were less than ten sentences, it was only a few days ago. , a few people are like old friends for many years always advancing and retreating together.
The temperature in Xi'an at night is lower than that in the daytime. In addition, after a rain, the air has been moistened, and there is no dryness in the daytime. The evening wind is also very comfortable.
Compared with the economically developed coastal cities, life in Xi'an is not so fast-paced. The people in Xi'an seem to have the steady blood flowing for thousands of years in their bodies. The historical accumulation is fascinating.
Qin Cheng likes this feeling very much.
The north gate of the school is not far from the dormitory area, but within five minutes, Qin Cheng saw the three people standing in front of the north gate and waved to them.
"Come on, come on, you're too slow, I'm going to starve to death."
too slow? It only took five minutes, but Qin Cheng didn't say what he said. He just glanced at Zhang Jun with a smile and said, "Then I'll treat you today, you can eat more." I just thank these three people for saving his life. Bar.
After a few glasses of beer, Zhang Jun, who speaks more among the four, led the way.
"By the way, Wu Hai, do you plan to stay here after graduation? Or do you want to go home?"
Wu Hai wiped his eyes with his hands and sighed: "I plan to stay here first and follow the team to find out the tomb of Ninghua Village... Then, I plan to go to the History Museum over there in Kaifeng, Henan."
"Henan? Isn't your home in Guangzhou?" Tan Cheng asked after taking a sip of beer.
"It's in Guangzhou... Xiaomei's family is in Henan. She is the only child, so her parents are the only ones left at home."
Qin Cheng also understood what Wu Hai meant, but...
"Then what about your parents? Aren't they all in Guangzhou?"
"My parents have jobs. Besides, I don't think it's possible to get everything done in Ninghua Village within five years. If it is five years, I will be almost 30 by then. Take them to Henan to spend their later years."
Zhang Jun couldn't help but then asked, "You and your girlfriend..."
"It's all my fault."
After Wu Hai said this, he frowned and didn't want to say anything. Zhang Xiaomei's death was probably a heavy blow to him.
Zhang Xiaomei wanted to kill Wu Hai even if she died. Tan Cheng guessed that most of Zhang Xiaomei's suicide was because of Wu Hai...
The matter has long since passed, and they are not qualified to take care of other people's affairs. This topic has ended.
After eating and drinking for a while, no one spoke, and a few people fell silent again. After a long time, Tang Jiaming said to Qin Cheng, "How did the rope break? Also, when we entered, we found that the top of the gate of the underground palace was protruding. , what's the matter?"
Shaking his head, Qin Cheng sighed: "I didn't notice at all, when the rope broke, and after I entered the underground palace, I didn't seem to pay attention to these problems anymore..."
"You didn't think about turning back and telling us?"
"Yes... No..." Tan Cheng, who was about to answer, suddenly remembered that it wasn't that he didn't want to go back at all. At that time, when he saw that the stone gate was closed and the top door was blocked, he planned to go back. In the next instant, the stone gate creaked open.
It seems that some strange force is urging him to go deep into the tomb, preventing him from turning back...
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng's heart was half cold, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that Qin Cheng's face was wrong, Zhang Jun felt that he patted Qin Cheng's shoulder and shouted, "It's okay! Why did your face suddenly turn pale."
Taking a deep breath, Qin Cheng looked at the three people in front of him, "It's okay."
"You, did you see something in that big tomb?"
Wu Hai asked tentatively,
He opened his mouth, but Qin Cheng didn't say anything about seeing the ghost of the owner of the tomb. He just shook his head: "I just think the ancient tomb is too weird. If it weren't for you, I'd probably die in it."
"You also saved my life, so it's canceled." Wu Hai patted Tan Cheng's shoulder
Tang Jiaming got up and said with a smile: "Are you full? Go back when you're full. Tomorrow Saturday, after a good rest, we'll go back and have a good sleep. We'll wait until Monday for anything else. Don't be in a hurry."
Calling the boss to settle the account, Tan Cheng said, "Alright, take a rest on weekends."
When the four of them were gone, Qin Cheng also went back to the dormitory to sleep alone, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what, tossing and turning, as long as he closed his eyes, the scene he saw when he pushed open the sarcophagus appeared in his mind.
I didn't tell the three tomb masters just now. Tan Cheng was thinking about the strange and confusing things. If he said it, the three people probably wouldn't believe it. It would only increase their fear, so he didn't say it. As for the real reason, I'm afraid he himself It's not clear. He couldn't let his mind go out of the tomb. If it wasn't too dangerous, he really wanted to go to the ancient tomb to find out. He really wanted to confirm whether it was just him. fantasy, is that really the owner of the tomb
Who is he, he is the emperor of that dynasty, how long has he been on the throne, how did he die... He is still so young...
There are many mysteries that are clearly in front of him, but they cannot be touched because of safety concerns. Tan Cheng is not reconciled.
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng sat up,
As if to restrain his actions, Qin Cheng grabbed the iron railing by the bed and whispered:
"Tomorrow, go and take a look tomorrow, don't be in a hurry..."
The night is deep, black covers all the houses, the moonlight is obscured by the passing clouds, hazy... There is no evening wind, the surroundings are as quiet as a black pool of water, it seems that all living beings have died...
Tan Cheng, who originally planned to go to Ninghua Village the next morning, received a call from the deputy bureau named Jiang Ping before he was groomed.
"A friend I know introduced a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest said that he wanted to go to the ancient tomb to see it. I wanted to ask your archaeologists to lead the way. After all, you are more familiar with it, aren't you?"
"Taoist?!" Tan Cheng said in surprise, "Why are you looking for a Taoist?"
"Aren't you archaeologists saying there are ghosts?" Jiang Ping lit a cigarette on the other end of the phone and frowned, "This was introduced by a friend, who said he was a master? Hehe, I really want to see if this is the case. There are really exorcists in the world, we happen to be in Ninghua Village right now, come over quickly."
"Don't fucking mess around!"
Almost shouting this sentence, Qin Cheng grabbed the backpack and ran out of the dormitory, took a taxi and went directly to Ninghua Village.
What Taoist priest, what exorcism! What the fuck is this trying to do!
