Chapter 96 Chains
In addition to Shirley Yang and I, there were two militiamen led by the militia platoon leader. We suddenly saw the chain falling vertically into the pool tremble and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
There is no wind in the cave and no waves in the pool. How could such a heavy chain tremble out of thin air? Could it be that the thing hanging under the pool by the giant chain is a living creature? What kind of creature needs to be locked with such a thick chain?
I looked at Shirley Yang, and she looked confused and shook her head at me. I asked myself that I had encountered countless strange things in my life, and that I had seen some strange things. However, when facing this authentic pool and the thick iron chain, I really couldn't find any clues. However, it was related to Professor Sun's whereabouts. I could only take the risk to pull the iron chain up and see what was there below.
At this time, the militia began to become nervous. Since ancient times, the people in the Three Qins have been strong. For these militias from local peasants, they may not retreat if they are allowed to face the enemy with live ammunition. However, the superstitious ideas of these people for thousands of years have been deeply rooted.
In addition, before going to the crypt, the villagers were talking and saying everything. We were there. When these militiamen saw this strange situation, they naturally couldn't help but be suspicious.
The militia platoon leader said to me: "Chief Qian... no... Hu... Chief Hu, isn't there any monster locked in the flood? This cannot be alarmed, otherwise our village will suffer."
The other two militiamen also said: "Yes, yes, I'm afraid the monsters in the Yellow River are locked, so don't act rashly, so as not to cause disaster."
I listened to the militias talking to me in my ears, and my eyes were never idle. I had to find some reasons to convince the militias, otherwise they would be scared away, leaving only Shirley and Yang and I to do something.
I looked around. Shibeidian Village is a small basin, not far from the Yellow River. I have never seen the feng shui situation. There will definitely be no tombs of nobles here. Although the environment here is very good, it can even be said to be a cave of gods and immortals, but there is too much groundwater here, so it is impossible for someone to be so stupid as to repair the tomb here.
The wide tunnel and the stone house at the end of the tunnel do not look like a tomb chamber. I am just familiar with ancient tombs and don’t know much about other ancient buildings, but the stone beds in the stone house are a bit strange. There are two types of stone beds in the ancient tomb. One is the one that places the coffin of the tomb owner, called the "tomb bed", and the other is the display instrument, called the "sacred platform". The one in the stone house looks more like a "sacred platform" for things.
There is a cave at the entrance of a small pond. Even if it is over here, there is no secret passage. Professor Sun and another archaeological team member must have entered the cave, but there is no trace of them here. Could it be that they have suffered something unexpected and fell into the pool?
The entire hole has obvious traces of manual digging and expansion, and the scale is not very large. Several thick iron chains pass through the top of the hole, linking a shaking wheel in the corner, which can be lifted and lowered. It seems that the iron chain in the pond can be pulled up. I reached out and touched the chain. It was indeed iron inside, but the outer layer was coated with anti-rust paint, which looked dark and dull.
I saw that the iron chains sinking into the pond were still shaking slightly. In this case, it would not be the undercurrents under the pond. There must be something alive. Could it be that the giant turtle, old dragon, etc. are tied to the chains? I must not tell the militia. I suddenly remembered the words of the blind fortune teller. The old man was talking nonsense, but it worked miraculously for these villagers. I was not careful and could draw the cat and use superstitious thoughts to deal with superstitious thoughts. Anyway, the most urgent thing is to pull the things in the pond up and find Professor Sun as soon as possible.
So I said to the militia with a firm expression: "Comrades, now it is time for the motherland and the people to test us. The head can be broken and blood can flow. The fearless revolutionary spirit cannot be lost. Let's take action together and pull the iron chain out of the pond..."
Before I could finish my words, the militia platoon leader rushed to say to me: "Chief Hu, my Chief Hu, can't be pulled, I can't be pulled. This chain is tied to the old monster in the Yellow River. I dare not do such a big thing."
To be honest, I was not sure, but on the surface, I had to pretend to be calm and calm, and showed some feeling of the leader. I said to the militia platoon leader: "Comrade Platoon Commander, don't you remember what the famous fortune teller said? The blind man in your village was the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang in ancient times. He knew about eight thousand years ago and five hundred years later. He said that this is an immortal cave. I think it is most correct, because when I was studying ancient data, I saw this description. The incense burner that fell in this pool must be the alchemy of Taishang Laojun, which contains the magic medicine that has been eaten forever and never caused by illness. We must have discovered these immortal pills first. According to international practice, it should... should..."
Internationally, the first thing an individual discovers seems to give the discoverer some rights, but I couldn't remember it for a moment, so I quickly asked Shirley Yang: "What is international practice?"
Shirley Yang said for me: "According to international management, the first person to discover is enjoyed by naming."
When I heard that Guangguan’s name was not good, I continued to say to the people: “Comrades, do you understand the naming right?” I pointed to one of the militias: “For example, brother, your name is Li Dazhuang, then as long as you want, the elixir we found can be called Dazhuang Dan. Once our country’s scientific researchers mass-produce this elixir to benefit the people, even if we have made great contributions to the Party and the people, the most important thing is that first come first served, the five of us discovered it first, and each of us can taste a few pills first. I will make the decision on this matter.”
The three militia made me dizzy when they talked. The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. When one was on it, they believed what the blind man said very much. The two loved this vanity of building achievements. Who wouldn’t want to eat the immortal elixir of immortality? But there was another concern that had not been eliminated. Since the iron chain was falling from the Taishang Laojun Pill Furnace, why did the iron chain tremble from time to time?
I thought it was not good, and there were many dreams at night. If these militiamen were guessing, I wouldn't be able to tell my lie: "Why does this iron chain move? Yes, it moves because... because the fairy energy of the immortal elixir in this furnace flows, this kind of elixir that will be eliminated after eating immortality and all diseases, do you think it is black and smelly like the Chinese medicine pill? Every elixir has spirituality, after all, it is not an ordinary thing in the world."
After hearing what I said, the militia nodded repeatedly, thinking that this is the reason. It seems that the thing tied to the chain is not a monster in the Yellow River. It must be the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun. They rolled up their sleeves to prepare to take action.
The militia platoon leader suddenly thought of something, walked to me, and whispered a few words to my ear. After hearing this, I smiled and said to him: "Comrade platoon leader, don't worry, the magical elixirs do not cure diseases. Just this matter is nothing to do with it. This elixir is used to treat yang without lifting it but not being firm but not long-term but not ejaculate but not thick but not too much...
The other two militia laughed loudly when they listened, which made the militia platoon leader blush and shouted loudly at the two of them: "What are you laughing like? Work quickly."
Shirley Yang felt a little unsafe and whispered to me: "Old Hu, I see that those who are tied to the pond by iron chains are like some living things, and they are just rashly pulled out, right? "
I took advantage of the militia going over and about to turn the wheels, and said to Shirley Yang: "Don't you believe me? Don't worry, I just like you, have only one life. How can I make fun of our safety? I have seen so many situations and have never seen it. Looking at the Feng Shui situation here, I dare to guarantee that there will be no ancient tombs, so there are no need to worry about the existence of rice dumplings. Moreover, the natural environment here is unique, not a deep mountain forest, and there will be no ferocious beasts. Even if there are, there are iron chains, and we have rifles to defend ourselves. What are we afraid of? If Professor Sun is below and we are not taking action for a long time, wouldn't it be a waste of his life? Of course, it's too late to take action now, so let it go."
Shirley Yang said, "It's not that I'm not worried about you, but you have never done anything that makes me feel at ease. Why don't you tell the villagers well? You just say something about immortal pills. I think you are more unreliable than the blind fortune teller. If you lift the chain up later, there is no elixir, I see how you explain it to them."
I said to Shirley Yang, "I'm not blind, I can do anything, I can do it all, now I can't say that, the militiamen are unwilling to work hard. I think there must be more than three people in the winch, and only the two of us can't play. If there is no elixir later, you have to help me smooth things out and don't let me do it alone."
After the militia platoon leader was ready, he greeted me while he said, Shirley and Yang stopped talking, inserted the torch by the pond, and each ended the rifle, pulled the bolt, and waved to the militia platoon leader: "Do it."
The militia platoon leader led two other militiamen to shake the wheels, rolling up circles of iron chains on the winch like a water in a well. Unexpectedly, the mechanical principle between the winch and the rocking wheel chain was extremely cleverly designed. There was no need for three people at all, just one person, and 80% of the strength was used to slowly roll the chains into the winch.
As the iron chains sinking into the pool rose, Shirley and Yang and others also suffocated cold sweat in their hands. Whether the things under the pool were alive or something else was about to be seen, and their mood could not help but slowly rise with the thick iron chains and lift it up.
The iron chain was rolled up for more than ten meters, and a dark thing was revealed from the water in the pond.
