Chapter 386 Don't Block the Road
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", in order to rule the world, Zhuanxu ordered people to cut down Jianmu, thus severing the communication between humans and gods.
This is the "Jue Tian Di Tong" recorded in history books, which is very different from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The tomb of Marquis Changping may not contain what she wants.
Huo Qinghuang began to feel like backing out.
At this moment, an off-road vehicle came speeding over.
Professor Xu leaned out of the car window and said, "Get in the car! The archaeological team has already set off!"
Huo Qinghuang pursed her lips slightly.
Now that I was already here, it would be difficult for me to not go, so I had to follow them into the car.
…
The car headed northwest.
After a day's driving, we finally arrived at our destination just as the sun was about to set.
In a desolate desert, several tents have been set up, and it seems that someone has been stationed here before.
And further away, a group of tombs were sparsely scattered among the mounds of earth.
"It has indeed been discovered. So we are really here to learn on the spot?"
Lin Xuan pouted her lips and muttered a little dissatisfiedly.
Professor Xu was old, but he was still sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Hearing this, he glared at her and said, "You have only been taking professional courses for a few days. It's good enough that you can come and take a look. Do you want to dig the soil yourself?"
Digging is a joke among archaeologists.
Because no matter whether it is the excavation of ruins or tombs, the entire excavation process is dealing with soil, that is, clearing away the fill soil outside the tomb chamber, tomb passage or relics.
Lin Xuan stuck out her tongue and didn't argue with Professor Xu. In fact, they came here for another purpose.
At this moment, Huo Qinghuang suddenly pressed the backpack on his chest.
The cinnabar in the backpack is getting hot!
She calmly rolled down the window and saw that the mountains in the distance were shrouded in a strange blue-grey fog.
"Didn't the weather forecast say it would be foggy today?"
Lin Xuan asked doubtfully.
Murong Xuan suddenly lowered his voice: "Look over there."
Huo Qinghuang looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the mountain, which was originally illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, was quickly shrouded in shadow.
A gust of cold air blew towards me from a long distance away, and a thin layer of frost quickly formed on the car window glass.
"Hold it, don't get out of the car!"
Huo Qinghuang shouted softly.
Then, she quickly took out a few pieces of talisman paper and distributed them to everyone: "Hold them in your hands, and don't make a sound no matter what you see!"
Professor Xu took the talisman with a confused look on his face. Before he could ask any questions, the car creaked to a stop.
Almost in the next second, thick fog suddenly emerged all around.
There was a rustling sound in the fog, as if countless insect legs were crawling.
A human figure gradually emerged from the thick fog.
A dozen or so "people" dressed in tattered and rotten cloth were walking towards them mechanically.
The most terrifying thing is that the seven orifices of these "people" are crawling with tiny black beetles!
"Close your eyes!"
Huo Qinghuang suddenly sprinkled out a handful of cinnabar.
Cinnabar burned in the air, forming a wall of fire.
Those "people" let out inhuman screams and instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated.
After the fog cleared, everyone was shocked to find that the SUV had stopped in front of a pitch-black cave!
Professor Xu almost crawled out of the car and looked at Huo Qinghuang with a look of surprise and doubt.
"Huo, Huo, what were those things just now?"
Professor Xu asked uncertainly.
He had some suspicion that those things were the legendary zombies.
But even if it was a zombie, he had never seen one in his decades of work.
How can I tell the difference?
"It's just a corpse, but it's been manipulated. It just looks scary, but there's nothing to be afraid of."
Lin Xuan rushed to explain and winked at Huo Qinghuang.
Professor Xu looks so innocent, so it’s better not to scare him.
Professor Xu waved his hand and snorted coldly, "Girl, don't think I don't know the details of your Lin family and the boy from the Murong family. I was wondering how you two got together. Tell me, what are you doing here?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xuan knew that she could no longer hide it.
She also didn't expect that Professor Xu, who looked gentle and refined, actually knew so much about the hidden family.
But, there is no one with the surname Xu in the hidden family?
What is Professor Xu’s background?
Lin Xuan was speechless for a moment and looked at Huo Qinghuang for help.
Huo Qinghuang looked calm, and looked at Professor Xu's face for a while, then slowly said: "Since Professor Xu knows about the hidden family, he must also understand that there are still many unknown things in this world.
In addition to assisting in archaeological research, we did have other purposes for coming here.
This group of tombs may be hiding some secrets that are closely related to the spiritual world. We must find out the truth."
Professor Xu's expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"The cultivation world... It seems that my guess was correct. Do you know why such a strange thing appeared in this place?"
Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly, "It's not clear yet, but the fact that these corpses are controlled by poisonous insects may be related to the owner of this tomb."
"What?!"
Professor Xu was shocked and looked towards the tent immediately.
The next moment, his body staggered and he almost fell down.
"The people in those tents..."
He grasped the driver's shoulders tightly, his lips trembling in disbelief.
Several people followed his gaze.
In the dim wilderness, the tents looked lifeless, like newly erected graves in the wild, exuding a sense of dead silence and desolation.
Murong Xuan and Lin Xuan's pupils constricted instantly.
If Professor Xu hadn't reminded them, they would not have discovered that there was no trace of life in those tents.
At this moment, Huo Qinghuang's nose moved, and he suddenly said: "There are indeed no living people in the tent, but there are still people alive in the cave. I guess they are the students who arrived first?"
"It should be them! Quick, go down and save them!"
Professor Xu wanted to rush into the cave almost as a reflex.
Then Huo Qinghuang grabbed the back of his collar.
"Hey old man, are you so eager to go in and die?"
She threw Professor Xu aside and said disdainfully, "Stay outside, hold the talisman, and don't block the road."
"You! You are so outrageous..."
Professor Xu glared at her with a sullen face, obviously very angry at Huo Qinghuang's behavior.
Lin Xuan covered her mouth and chuckled, coaxing: "Hey, please don't be angry, old man. Look at your old arms and legs. What if something happens when you go down? It's better to let us young people suffer a little more, so that people won't say that we don't respect our teachers, hehe..."
“…”
Professor Xu's mouth twitched and he wanted to curse.
These two girls were so sharp-tongued that he didn't know how to refute them.
But he also knew that his body was indeed not as good as those young people.
Besides, none of these three guys are simple, so he'd better not go in and hold them back.
Professor Xu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger and worry in his heart, and stood aside helplessly.
Huo Qinghuang ignored Professor Xu. She took out a piece of talisman paper and shook her fingertips slightly. The talisman paper instantly ignited a wisp of golden flame, illuminating the dark cave entrance.
