I opened my eyes hazily and found myself lying on the ground, surrounded by darkness. I touched my wrist and found that the flashlight tied to it had disappeared.

The body is a cold slab, and there seems to be the sound of running water on the side. Where is this place?

I took a deep breath, and memories began to appear in my mind bit by bit. The waterfall, the scalding spring water, and the corpse on the chain. Suddenly a white light flashed, and the scene just now appeared in my mind.

I just seemed to fall straight down the cliff along the current, and then fell into the pool below. The water was ice cold, which was very different from the hot spring water. The moment I entered the water, I felt my ears suddenly quiet, Then I don’t remember anything. It was probably because he bumped into something when he fell into the water and knocked himself unconscious. He fell into the water from a height of dozens of meters. If the posture was wrong, it would be the same as falling on a cement board.

I touched my body, but it was still wet. Could it be that after I fell down the waterfall, I and the water below continued to rush here, or was it that I had died and came to the underworld?

I tried to stand up and then raised my head slightly. Suddenly, there was a thud and my head hit something. It hurt so much that I saw stars in my eyes. I quickly touched it with my hand. It seemed to be a flat plate. I was wondering, why is it here? So short. Did I rush into a crevice in some rock or under a rock?

I touched around and found that this was not the case. There were rough wooden levers within a foot around me. After knocking, there is a hollow space behind. In such a small space, I could only lie down and turn around, not even raising my head or stretching.

I propped it up to see the thickness of these wooden boards, but found that the wooden levers on it could move. I propped it up with my hand, and with a bang, a light suddenly appeared in the darkness. I pushed my knees up. Gently move the upper board away and sit up. When I looked outside, I couldn't help but be stunned.

This is a white marble stone chamber, with torches lit in the four corners, illuminating the surrounding area. I looked at the top of my head and saw two pythons intertwined with each other, and I was actually sitting on a Inside the coffin, I turned the lid of the coffin aside.

Depend on! What is this place. Who put me in the coffin?

I walked out of the coffin and looked around. I felt more and more strange. The white marble material and the top carved with pythons were almost the same as those of the undersea tomb. Could it be that this place was also related to Wang Zanghai?

After walking around for a while, I found that there were more weird things. I don’t know when the clothes on my body were changed into a rubber suit similar to a diving suit, the kind of clothes worn by divers in the 1980s. I feel even more strange, where the hell did I get such old style clothes?

I pulled up the torch in the corner,

Walked out from the door of this tomb. There was a corridor outside. I just looked at it and said "Ah", my God, the straight white marble corridor and the three jade doors leading to the end are exactly the same as the undersea tomb! !

How is this going? Why am I back? My scalp exploded and my thinking began to become confusing. Is this a tomb that looks very much like an undersea tomb, or have I never come out of an undersea tomb at all? Oh my god, what the hell is going on?

I rubbed my face vigorously, raised the torch, and carefully looked at the environment here, trying to find any flaws. If it was a similar tomb, there must be something different.

There was a wooden frame on the corridor, just like a scaffolding. It was covered with wooden planks and became a simple overpass through the corridor. It could prevent the mechanism from being triggered. I don't know who put it on it. I climbed up carefully and walked over. On the opposite side of the corridor, the jade gate of the middle apse was lit by the light of torches, and the two side halls on the left and right were dark.

At this time, I thought of Lao Itch. He jumped with me on the waterfall. I fell into the pool and was unconscious for so long. How was his situation in this inexplicable place?

As I thought about it, I walked toward the door from which the firelight came. The light was quite bright, coming out from under the jade door. When I came to the door, I heard a noise coming from inside the door. As I put my ear to the door, I heard a cough.

Then, a person's voice said: "What should I do? Can't the coffin be opened?"

Another voice sounded very embarrassed: "San Sheng said not to touch things here for the time being, so we should listen to him."

As soon as I heard the voices of these two people, I was startled. The first person who spoke was Menyouping, but the second person spoke could not be heard. Why, did he also come to this place?

To my surprise, I immediately heard a third person's voice from behind. The person said: "Wu Sansheng is still sleeping now. We just opened it and took a look. What does it matter? I am on Xiao Zhang's side." "

I didn't quite understand what they meant, but the third person was undoubtedly a woman.

What do they mean by these words? It sounded like Men You Ping wanted to open a coffin, and another person was hesitant because of Third Uncle's warning. At this time, a woman stood up and supported Men You Ping. I felt confused at the moment. Why, Men You Ping? Has Oil Ping found his third uncle?

As I was thinking about it, I lay down in the crack of the door to see who was talking inside. Unfortunately, what I could see through the crack in the door was limited. I only saw the back of a woman wearing a diving suit of the same color as me. She had a figure. Very petite, with a big braid.

At this time, I heard the fourth person say: "What should we do about Qi Yu? This kid is really good at playing. I don't know where he went. Should we just leave him here?"

When I heard him say this, I couldn't help but be stunned. Qi Yu, this name is so familiar. It seems to be one of the people written in the previous list in the third uncle's notes. Wait, isn't it?

I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Qi Yu. This name is not as simple as familiarity. I seem to hear it often, and I have a very special feeling in my heart.

At this time, the woman in the crack of the door moved a step to make room. Suddenly I saw the oil bottle standing next to a black coffin, holding a pry bar in her hand. At this time, a woman walked Come over. As soon as I saw her face, I was so surprised that I almost dropped the torch in my hand to the ground.

Isn't this person Wen Jin? God, what's going on? Although I have never seen her in person, my third uncle has a lot of photos of her, and I see them often, so I recognize her at a glance, and it is absolutely correct.

The doubts in my heart reached the extreme, and I almost pushed the door open and went in. I asked them clearly. At this moment, I suddenly heard a man say: "This undersea tomb is so big. It will be difficult for us to find him. I think we should forget it. We will carve marks along the road. He will naturally know it when he sees it." Follow me."

"This is the only way to do it now. Since no one objects, I will open the coffin and see what the owner of the tomb looks like." Menyouping raised the sled bar and was about to take action. At this time, suddenly from the left In the auxiliary room. There was a roaring sound of water, which startled me.

Everyone in the back hall turned their heads, and a man asked: "What's the sound? It seems to be coming from next door!"

"Let's go! Go and have a look!" Menyoubo put down the pry bar and ran towards the door. When I saw something was wrong, I turned around and hid in the side room on the right. I put the torch on the ground and put it out. Almost at the same time, I I saw a group of people running out of the back hall, and then a woman exclaimed: "Look, there is a pool here!!"

At this time, I was already sure that this was what Zhang Qiling and I described, the story that happened after their third uncle fell asleep. However, he did not explain this section in such detail. Why did I feel like I had experienced it myself? Was it a hallucination? Came back through the time tunnel, or did my soul come back?

When I was thinking wildly, I suddenly saw a man walking down from the overpass on the corridor with a fire folding piece. He secretly hid behind the jade door of the left side room and looked inside. When I took a closer look, I found that It was my third uncle when he was young. He seemed very annoyed and his brows were furrowed tightly.

After a while, the voices of Zhang Qiling and the others gradually faded away. They should be walking up the winding stairs into the pool. The third uncle blew out the fire seal and ducked into the jade door. I was so frightened that I thought, could it really be true this time? I was able to know what happened later in this way. Regardless of whether I was hallucinating or dreaming, I hurriedly followed him and then pressed against the door of the left side room. I wanted to take a peek inside, but suddenly my eyes flashed, The third uncle suddenly walked out of the door again, strangled my neck, and said softly: "So you are following me!" After saying that, he suddenly tightened his hand and grabbed my throat.

In desperation, I wanted to shout: "Third uncle! I am your nephew!" But I couldn't scream. I couldn't grab his collar at once, and I also wanted to strangle his neck.

As he pinched and pinched, a voice said: "Old Wu, wake up, are you having a nightmare?"

I shuddered, and suddenly my vision went dark, and I found that everything around me suddenly disappeared, and the old itch was slapping me.

I sighed, it turned out to be a dream. When I turned around, I found that I was lying on a pebble beach with a bonfire burning beside me. Master Liang was warming himself by the bonfire. When he saw me awake, he smiled at me awkwardly. laughed.

I pinched the bridge of my nose hard, and felt very strange. How could I have such a strange dream? Could it be that I really think about it every day and dream about it at night? But that’s not right. I haven’t thought about these things much recently. .

Lao Itch saw that I was confused and wanted to slap me, but I kicked him away and cursed: "Your grandma is addicted to beatings, right? Tell me, where is this place?"

Lao Itch took out a flare gun from an unknown bag nearby and pointed at the back. I looked back and found that the pebble beach was very small. There was another section behind, and there was a cliff. It looked like this The rock vein where the underground waterway is located may be a stepped downward structure. In some places, mountain movements have occurred, causing a series of faults. Lao Chi sent a "bang" signal to the top of the cliff, revealing the scene below the cliff.

I didn't understand what I saw at first. When I did, I was blinded. I opened my mouth wide and could hardly believe my eyes. About ten feet below the cliff, there was a large natural cave with dense rows of rows inside. They were full of coffins, one after another, and in some places there were several layers. There were thousands of coffins, which was truly spectacular.

"This... what kind of place is this?!" I exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's like a coffin warehouse!"

Master Liang walked to my side and said to me: "According to my experience, this may be a high-slope Miao burial cave.

Gaopo Miao people? Aren’t the Gaopo Miao people from Guizhou?

Master Liang shook his head and said: "Before liberation, there were many small villages nearby, and many ethnic minorities lived in them, including a small number of Miao people. This shows that in history, Miao people once lived here. You see, these wooden coffins are all made of random wooden boards, which are very different from the coffins used by the Han people. I believe my judgment is not wrong."

I don’t know much about this custom. I only know that some Miao people have been following the funeral custom of “cave burial”. They use natural caves as tombs and place the coffins of deceased relatives, regardless of gender, in the caves regularly. There are layers of mulberry, the ones below are loose and rotten, and the ones above continue to pile up, so that the higher the coffin is, the closer the age is. The deceased who enters the cave must be an elderly person over 60 years old in the family, and be married. Only the elderly who did not die due to violence, infectious diseases or other places can be buried here.

There are an astonishing number of coffins here, which may have been hundreds of years old. The bottom coffins have all rotted into soil, and the top ones are also very old. Probably because of the promotion of cremation, there have been no more coffins since liberation. The reason for coming in.

As he spoke, the signal in the air had already slid to the end of the arc. The moment the light went out, I seemed to see something special in the middle of these coffins.
