Chapter 126: White-haired Moon
After that analysis, Zi Yang finally came to a conclusion that the key to unlocking the secret is obviously hidden in the giant coffin.
The reasoning has reached a dead end. If you want to continue exploring it, you can only open the coffin and examine the autopsy.
"We are not professional in tomb robbers. I think we should contact Uncle Li and other people." Old Wang grinned and sucked the air conditioner.
Zi Yang expressed his approval of Lao Wang in an unprecedented way.
These two guys who are afraid of things will lose their chains without hesitation when the critical moment comes.
Su Rui shook his head and said, "It's too late, it will take at least a few days for Uncle Li's group of people to come here.
Moreover, each team has its own tasks. If we ask for help rashly, it will disrupt the overall plan. I think it depends on us to solve it ourselves."
"Or if it doesn't solve it, I think it's better for us to go around it directly." Zi Yang kept making strategic retreats.
But Su Rui still insisted on checking this line.
Zi Yang found that people who do scientific research have a tendency to be obsessive-compulsive disorder that is stubborn and cannot live without understanding things.
Zi Yang looked at A Chong and thought to himself that you are the representative of Professor Zhang. The theoretical specifications are higher than those of Uncle Li and others. Please give me an idea.
A Chong said slowly: "Go and open the coffin tonight."
Although brief, it has an unquestionable power.
Zi Yang's eyes went dark and he complained repeatedly, "My brother, you'll open the store if you say you'll open it... This is too casual."
There is a saying: It is a blessing, not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
At this time, it was getting late. Since I decided to open the coffin, it would be fine without further ado. Let's set off immediately.
The two cars started, one in front and one behind, and drove towards the position marked by Lao Wang.
This place is sparsely populated, and there are basically no roads in the wilderness. The two cars are driving in the rocky wilderness. Fortunately, the off-road performance of the two cars is very good. Although they are bumpy all the way, they can still maintain a certain speed.
Zi Yang looked into the distance with a telescope. There were continuous mountains in the distance, and clouds were majestic. Because the altitude was too high, halfway up the mountain was covered with snow that never melted all year round. This area of mountains stood tall, and they were already very close to the Himalayas.
The night fell quickly, and the moon hung in the sky early. In order to keep the movement secret, everyone did not turn on the car lights and walked slowly with the moonlight on the ground.
The moonlight today is particularly strange. Although there are no clouds in the sky, the moon is hazy and seems to have a layer of white hair all over.
Zi Yang looked at the sky worriedly and muttered: "The moon grows hair, and the fierce ghost appears."
I vaguely remember that when I was a child, the hairy moon was commonly known as the ghost moon. People with yin and yang eyes can see ghosts all over the streets. Generally, when encountering this kind of weather, adults will forbid children to go out.
Lao Wang was so scared that he shivered. Since he met a ghoul at night in medical school, Lao Wang, who was not afraid of heaven or earth, was now particularly afraid of the dark and ghosts.
Although there is a soul-removing master like A Chong, Lao Wang is still nervous about touching dead people and mutters:
"The sky is spiritual and the earth is spiritual and the Taishang Laojun shows his gods. The sun is round and the moon is round. Guanyin Bodhisattva stands in the clouds. All gods and immortals are possessed, so I will bless me tonight with the smooth flow. I will be as anxious as the law..."
Zi Yang reminded Lao Wang, "The Tibetan area has its own system of gods and Buddhas, and the gods you invited from other places are useless."
Su Rui heard the two people's discussions on the walkie-talkie and chuckled: "Old Li, don't scare him. This is called the moon halo, which is the aperture generated by the ice crystals in the sky that refract the moonlight."
"But" Su Rui pondered for a moment and said, "The moon halo appears, which means that the sky will change."
Zi Yang really wanted to ask A Chong if he felt anything strange. After all, he had Yin and Yang arms, and if he had Yin souls, he should be able to sense things.
But when I think this place is rarely visited, there are no figures, let alone ghosts.
Zi Yang looked into the distance and saw gusts of white smoke floating on the snow-covered peaks in the distance, like a fog barrier.
The wind blew, Zi Yang thought to himself.
Under Lao Wang's guidance, the two cars finally drove to the place where the giant coffin was buried.
Everyone got out of the car and searched.
Lao Wang just recorded a general position. He was afraid of exposure at that time, so he just did the GPS positioning in the distance, which was not very accurate.
In a relatively flat place, Zi Yang found that the sand on the ground had obvious signs of renovation, and the ground was smoothed back and deliberately covered up.
"It seems that it's here."
Zi Yang stepped on her feet and felt that the underground soil was a little loose, which was obviously different from the hard frozen soil elsewhere.
At this time, the moonlight was hazy, and the earth was pale. If you observe carefully, you can see that the grass beside the gravel was also frost.
Lao Wang asked Zi Yang tremblingly, "Is it July 14th today? Why do I feel so yin? " He recalled the cold night in the medical school again.
Zi Yang calculated with his fingers, "No."
It's cool down, it's so cold!
Zi Yang felt a white breath from his mouth, looked up at the sky, and chanted softly: "The moon is dark, the wind is high, and the murderous night."
Lao Wang didn't know if it was cold or afraid, but his whole body was trembling, his upper and lower teeth were pounding together, and he cursed, "Don't scare me, fuck, what kind of resentment I have with you..."
Su Rui took out two folding military shovels from the back box of the Land Cruiser, and started digging the soil with A Chong.
Because the weather is cold and the temperature is always low, the soil layer is as hard as iron plates. However, the place under their feet has been dug by the buried team before, so it is not difficult to dig.
Zi Yang saw Lao Wang shook his neck and staring blankly there, shook his head, went up to take the military shovel from Su Rui's hand, and dug it up with A Chong.
In a short while, a large pit more than two meters wide, more than three meters long and about feet deep was dug out on the ground.
Judging from the size of this soil pit, it should be the burial place of the giant coffin, that's right.
Zi Yang felt a little hot after snatching for a long time, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
He wiped his sweat on his face with his hands and was about to call Lao Wang to come and take over. When he looked up, he suddenly saw Qingwen standing by the pit at some point and staring at his feet.
Such a person suddenly appeared in front of him, which scared Zi Yang and staggered.
To be honest, this woman is elusive no matter what she does. Sometimes you can’t feel her existence at all, but sometimes she will suddenly appear, as if she will flash.
"It's so cold, you're wearing this little bit of care and you have a windbreaker in the car."
Zi Yang kindly reminded her that she really wants to be kind and not warm. This Qingwen has been wearing a wide white windbreaker, and it seems that she doesn't wear much clothes inside. She looks skinny and fluttering... ghost.
Qingwen seemed to have not heard him.
At this moment, Qingwen's expression was very different from usual. Her confused eyes also became very sharp, her pupils were dilated, she stared straight at the bottom of the pit, her hands were hanging beside her, and her white clothes were slightly aroused in the night wind.
Zi Yang murmured, "Don't scare me, can you? The midnight thing is like the midnight bell..."
I remembered that Qingwen sneered at herself and rolled her eyes in the car yesterday, and felt that this girl had an inappropriate sense of humor.
I dug down about half a meter deep, and shoveled the hard object with a thud. The sound probably touched the wooden board.
It seems that it is not as deep as expected, and these grave diggers are lazy, but considering that the coffin is about one meter high, it is difficult for them to dig it so deep.
Seeing that the walls of the pit were full of solid frozen soil, there were white marks left by the gravedigger's iron pickaxe drilling on the soil layer, it seemed that these gravediggers had worked hard during the day.
A Chong and Zi Yang shoveled out the soil on the coffin, then dug half a foot down the coffin, turning the floating soil to the edge of the pit, and the huge upper body of the coffin was exposed.
It was strange that the thick ropes tied to the coffin that I saw during the day were still wrapped around it and were not taken away.
Suddenly, Zi Yang suddenly felt a chill on his body and couldn't help but tremble.
Looking back, Qingwen was half-squatting by the pit at this time, with his hands on the floating soil just dug, staring at the coffin with concentration.
Why is this person so naughty, Zi Yang thought to himself.
A Chong seemed to be careless about Qingwen's abnormality. He was carefully cleaning the dust on the coffin. His face was very gloomy.
"You all disperse, I'll come here." Zi Yang saw A Chong's serious expression, as if he was facing a great enemy, and did not dare to be a hero and say a few words to support the scene. He almost crawled out of the pit and stood far away from Lao Wang.
Only A Chong was left in the pit, and Qingwen was squatting beside the pit.
Su Rui took out a SLR camera and tripod from the car, set it up next to them, and aimed the lens into the pit.
Zi Yang whispered: "Didn't you say taking photos is a disrespect to the deceased? Why..."
Su Rui said: "The situation is special now, don't talk."
He actually looked like he was facing a great enemy.
A Chong took out a folding knife from his pocket, cut off the thick rope wrapped around the coffin, and bit the nails on the coffin with a toothed end. With force, he pried out a large iron nail more than ten centimeters long, and pried out four large nails from above the coffin.
Most of the coffin is mortise and tenon together, and the splicing itself is very tight. It seems that the coffin is not firm enough, and there are such thick and long iron nails nailed outside, and such thick ropes are wrapped around it.
After doing these tasks, A Chong held a crowbar in his hand and stared at the coffin with thoughtful thoughts, as if he didn't know where to start.
Qingwen squatted like a cat, holding the edge of the pit with both hands on the edge of the pit, staring at the coffin intently, and seemed to make a hissing sound in his throat.
Lao Wang and Zi Yang looked at each other. Could this brother and sister have to hold an opening ceremony or something?
As if he finally made up his mind, A Chong lifted the crowbar in his hand, raised it high, and with a "bang", he inserted it heavily into the seam above the coffin lid. This move was powerful and heavy, completely different from the carefulness just now.
The coffin lid was very tight, and the crowbar was not inserted into it. Just pried up a large piece of bark.
"Bang", a more dull response sounded from the coffin, as if echoing A Chong's impact.
