Chapter 307 The female general who stood up in the pile of bones
After confirming that there were no signs of life in the cave, several staff members from the Cultural Relics Bureau finally decided to send Wu Qiu and Lu Jian down to find out.
They tied ropes around their waists and brought all the tools. Finally, it was decided that Wu Qiu would go down first, followed by Lu Jian.
The cave was dark and humid, and there was still some depth. After visual inspection, it was about five or six meters. Wu Qiu paid attention to the movement below while descending. He descended for ten minutes before descending to the bottom. After confirming that it was safe, he
After sending a signal to the top, Lu Jian also began to slowly descend into the cave.
The bottom of the cave is very open, and there is a passage with obvious artificial traces on the side, which leads directly to the front. The height of the passage is less than 1.7 meters, and the width is enough for two adults to walk side by side.
The two people turned on the searchlights above their heads. There was some moisture in the passage, and the unpleasant fishy smell still lingered. One of them was in front and the other was in the back. They walked forward slowly. After a distance of more than ten meters,
My eyes suddenly opened up.
"Be careful," Wu Qiu, who was walking in front, almost missed the mark. What appeared in front of him was a natural cave. Standing at the entrance of the passage, he saw that the entire area was about seventy or eighty square meters. There was nothing in the cave except for
In the center of the cave was a pile of white bones like a hill, and the lights above their heads swept over them, emitting green dots of phosphorescence.
"How about going down?" Lu Jian said from behind after his eyes adjusted to the light here.
"Go, why not?" Wu Qiu is young, and what he likes is taking risks.
"It doesn't look like there is a tomb here, it looks more like a cemetery." Lu Jian grumbled, but now that he was here, he could only follow Wu Qiu.
Soon, the two of them actually reached the bottom of the cave: "It stinks!" Lu Jian wrinkled his nose. The ground was full of traces of the giant python crawling and excrement.
"You said, it's unjustifiable for the ancients to put such a snake in this cave without protecting it!" Wu Qiu took out a piece of black cloth and wrapped it around his mouth and nose, and then handed another piece to Lu Jian.
"This giant python has lived here for so long. What did it eat to survive?" After Lu Jian also covered his mouth and nose, Wu Qiu began to look around in the cave.
This cave does not appear to have the uncanny craftsmanship of those natural caves. It is even completely empty, except for the pile of dazzling white bones.
"It can't be by eating..." Wu Qiu suddenly stopped here and his eyes fell on the pile of bones.
"Are you too imaginative to let others eat mice, reptiles, etc.?" Lu Jian smiled. Wu Qiu, a young man, had only been in their cultural relics bureau for just one year. Maybe he was 'touching gold'.
I have watched too many movies about Captain, and I have been living in a bunch of fantasies all day long.
"Look, there must be an underground river underground, and the snake's food must be in it." After turning around, Lu Jian found a medium-sized hole behind a stone. The entrance of the hole had become very big.
It's smooth, and at first glance it's the result of giant pythons often coming and going here.
"Brother Lu, you are more knowledgeable after all." Wu Qiu heard the sound and came over. He looked out from the entrance of the cave. He couldn't see his head at a glance, but in his ears, he could clearly hear the sound of running water.
"There is nothing to see here. Even if there is an ancient tomb, it should be over the underground river. This is just the habitat of their guardian giant python.
." Lu Jian stood up, he had decided to call it a day.
"No, Brother Lu, we are going to leave just like that, why don't we go check it out?"
"What to check? We are just here to check to see if there are ancient tombs here. As for whether there are any other places, that is a matter for the future, okay?"
After Lu Jian finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. "Boom, boom," suddenly there were two loud sounds. Moreover, along with the two loud sounds, there was also a sputtering sound in the cave.
Wu Qiu was startled, and he grabbed Lu Jian's arm: "Brother Lu, did you hear anything?"
The sound came from above his head, and Lu Jian heard it clearly. He raised his head and looked at the top of the cave. There was nothing, only some traces of fallen soil.
"It's okay, don't make a fuss." Although Lu Jian comforted Wu Qiu, he actually felt very weak because behind him, there were constant splashing sounds.
"Brother Lu, look," Lu Jian felt Wu Qiu's hands shaking violently, and he turned his head suddenly.
The hill-like bones were collapsing little by little, as if something was about to come out of the pile of human bones.
"Wu Qiu, run!" Lu Jian held Wu Qiu's hand as if running away. Years of experience told him that either the cave was about to collapse, or something bad was about to happen.
Wu Qiu was also frightened. When they hurriedly climbed up the cave. The moment they entered the entrance of the passage, Wu Qiu had the courage to look back - all the bones were scattered around, among the bones.
A general stood up wearing armor and holding a sword. His two eyes were staring at him fiercely...
Wu Qiu never dared to look back. He followed Lu Jian and quickly climbed to the ground. He felt that his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to pop out of his body.
Captain Fang came over and looked at the pale faces of the two team members with frightened eyes. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What's going on with you two? Could it be that you have seen a ghost?"
"We just heard two loud sounds..." Lu Jian spoke so nervously that he was out of breath.
"Oh, that was the worker on the construction site just now who didn't know that work was stopped here, so he ran in and hit two piles rashly. We have asked the police to stop it. Didn't we scare you?" Captain Fang said.
, which made the colleagues waiting above laugh, making Lu Jiandu feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Lu Jian was silent, Captain Fang continued to ask with concern. "Why, what else was found down there?"
"There is a big cave down there. There are many bones in the cave, and..." Lu Jian took a breath and began to answer the captain's question.
"There is also a female general holding a sword!" Before Lu Jian had finished speaking, Wu Qiu, who had been silent next to him, suddenly interjected as if he was 'talking to himself'.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Wu Qiu, but Wu Qiu seemed not to feel it at all.
"Yes, it must be a female general. The helmet on her head fell off, and her long hair was scattered on her face... Her face and body were covered in blood, and even the sword in her hand was dripping with blood.
.
She should have killed many people, those
Piles of corpses, either she killed them, or they were the people who protected her, yes...that must be the case!"
"Wu Qiu, Wu Qiu, what are you talking about?" The captain stretched out his hand and waved it several times in front of Wu Qiu, who was talking to himself, but Wu Qiu did not react accordingly.
"Captain, isn't he possessed by an evil spirit?" the team member next to him reminded.
"Wu Qiu, wake up, I'm Brother Lu." After Lu Jian saw Wu Qiu coming out of the cave, he seemed to be a different person. He couldn't help but put his hands on his shoulders and shook them.
Got up.
As if he had seen a savior, Wu Qiu grabbed Lu Jian's shoulders and said, "Brother Lu, didn't you see the female general in the pile of human bones? She was standing in the middle of the pile of bones. You must have seen it too."
Lu Jian was confused. When he ran away just now, how could he dare to look back? He really didn't see anything.
"Lu Jian, did you see it too?" Captain Fang looked at Lu Jian and asked.
"No, captain, I was in front just now, and he was behind..." Lu Jian did not lie. Years of inspection experience told him: "Don't look back when you are escaping, because that look may lead to death."
Kill you!'
"Captain, there is really a female general below. She is still wearing armor. Like the big snake, she must exist to protect something?"
"Okay, okay, you two are tired too, go and take a rest first." The captain motioned to the other team members to take them away.
He cautiously walked to the hole again and looked down. Everything seemed normal, but in his ears, he seemed to hear a rustling sound coming from below again.
"Captain, you don't really believe what Wu Qiu said, do you? If there were really any female generals down here, wouldn't they have been eaten by that giant python?" A team member came over, took a look and said
.
Captain Fang looked back at his team members: "Do you know what country ours was in ancient times?"
"What country? Isn't it the Gomachi Kingdom?" How could they, who are engaged in archaeology, not know this piece of history?
"It is said that the emperor of Gomachi Kingdom is a queen, and all the generals under her are female generals..."
After a pause, the captain looked at the team member who asked him again and said: "Wu Qiu, why did he just say that he saw a female general? Instead of a male general?"
"Yes, captain, it's true. How about we organize people to go down and have a look?" The team member who asked the question was stopped by the captain.
'Yes, according to common sense, what Wu Qiu should have seen was a male general! Could it be that... there is the queen's tomb down there?'
That was a major discovery in the archaeological field here, and the team members became excited when they thought about it.
"Don't worry, the way I saw Wu Qiu just now, whether it's real or an illusion, we can't just go down here casually now, we must take comprehensive protective measures."
The captain looked down at the hole, and it seemed that the sound he could hear in his ears was getting louder and louder. It was so loud that he couldn't wait to go down and have a look, but his reason reminded him that he had to rush
