When I heard this, my heart jumped wildly. In fact, I really wanted to go in and see her, but I didn't want her to see me in this state, so I waved my hand and said, "Forget it! It's too late.
, she must have rested, I won’t go in and disturb her.”
Professor Dong nodded and asked me: "Where are you going?"
"I feel it's too boring in the ward and want to go out for a walk."
"It just so happens that I also want to go out for a walk, let's go together!"
I followed Professor Dong to the garden of the hospital. Because it was almost twelve o'clock, the garden was already deserted. Professor Dong who was walking in front suddenly turned around and asked me: "Brother Xiaoyu, what did you do this morning?"
It was said at that time that what happened to Xiaodan might be related to the ancient tomb in Huangtuling. Did you find anything?"
I didn't expect that he would suddenly ask about this, but I did make a discovery, and it was a big discovery. But the problem was that I couldn't say it out loud. I had to smile and said, "Haha, I just said that casually.
What did you find?"
Unexpectedly, Professor Dong shook his head and said seriously: "When your classmates sent you to the hospital just now, I overheard the conversation between you. One of the classmates mentioned the bird in Huangtuling.
Damn it, what’s going on?”
My head suddenly buzzed, damn it! It must be that guy from Maizi, he always talks carelessly, and Dong Xiaodan’s father actually heard it.
Since I didn’t know how much he heard, I didn’t know how to answer for a while.
Seeing my hesitation, Professor Dong said: "You can rest assured, no matter what it is, I will never tell it! I just want to know what happened to Xiaodan, and I will never let my daughter be in danger again.
Among them!"
I raised my head and looked at him with a sincere look on my face. After thinking for a while, I asked, "You promise you won't tell anyone?"
He nodded: "I promise!"
I sighed again: "Well, actually if you really tell me, there's nothing I can do about it. But you have to believe that I definitely didn't do anything bad!"
"What's going on?" he asked eagerly.
I told him everything about the cave robbery in Huangtuling, including of course the reason why I was injured tonight. After hearing this, he frowned, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "
I never expected that someone would be so bold as to rob this tomb."
I echoed from the side: "It's not just bold, it's simply audacious. He left after nine o'clock, and it almost cost me my life."
Professor Dong waved his hand: "That's not what I'm talking about, but that this tomb is easy to steal but not easy to steal."
I was slightly startled: "Why?"
"This ancient tomb was discovered more than thirty years ago. But do you know why it has not been excavated?" Professor Dong asked me.
"Are you afraid that the cultural relics inside will oxidize?"
He shook his head: "With current technology, we can conduct anaerobic excavation to ensure that the cultural relics inside are not oxidized."
"Then why not dig?" I asked puzzledly.
"That's because there are very evil things inside this ancient tomb. More than thirty years ago, when workers were doing construction at the foot of the mountain, they accidentally discovered an arched passage. At first, they thought it was left over from the war period.
Air raid shelter, but found a large, closed iron gate at the end of the passage. There was a golden dragon carved on the iron gate, which looked like something from ancient times. After expert analysis, it was determined that this was an ancient tomb from the Ming Dynasty.
, so the cultural relics department at that time immediately organized an inspection team to enter the tomb for inspection. After the inspection team entered, they found that the ancient tomb seemed to be divided into two layers, the inner and outer structures. Just as they were thinking about how to enter the inner layer of the tomb, they continued
During the inspection, an unexpected incident occurred."
"What unexpected incident?"
"The expedition team was attacked by evil things inside and hurriedly evacuated. After coming out, two of the seven expedition members died soon after, and the other four were in the hospital. After a few days, something unexpected happened
mutated."
"Mutation!?" I was shocked.
Professor Dong nodded: "Their bodies gradually became stronger, and fangs grew from the corners of their mouths. The most important thing is that they actually like to eat the blood of living people!"
I suddenly understood: "Could it be that they were infected with corpse poison and turned into zombies!?"
"That's right! This incident ultimately resulted in the tragic deaths of more than a dozen medical staff and military police. After the incident subsided, the superiors decided to seal the ancient tomb permanently and no longer excavate it."
"Then what exactly were they attacked inside?" I asked curiously.
Professor Dong did not answer me directly, but said: "After I heard you mention this ancient tomb this morning, I went to find someone."
"who?"
"The only survivor of that zombie incident was also the captain of that expedition team. He has retired now. I asked him about the incident, and he told me everything."
"What on earth attacked them?" I asked quickly.
Professor Dong glanced at me and said word by word: "It's a bloody corpse!"
"Wha...what! Blood corpse!?" I took a breath of air.
Huang Yixian once said that the blood corpse is one of the eighteen types of zombies. It is a very powerful evil creature. It moves quickly and has strong attack power. It is often unable to be subdued by ordinary exorcism objects, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
However, blood corpses require extremely harsh conditions to form. Tombs with blood corpses are also called blood corpse tombs. The soil of such tombs contains a large amount of cinnabar. Cinnabar has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and can protect the environment in the tomb.
It is not disturbed by external evil spirits, but at the same time, the Yin energy in the tomb cannot be emitted. Over the years, blood corpses may be formed. However, the soil layer under natural conditions generally does not contain a large amount of cinnabar, so the blood corpse tombs
The formation of the tomb is often caused by the owner of the tomb setting up a cinnabar roof on the outer layer of the tomb.
The installation of cinnabar domes in tombs originally originated from Taoism. The ultimate goal of those who practice Taoism is to seek immortality. They believe that death is another continuation of life. As long as the soul lingers, one can continue to practice and eventually achieve Taoism and become an immortal.
They set up cinnabar roofs in tombs in order to lock the souls in the tombs. However, it was later discovered that tombs with cinnabar roofs may form bloody corpses under certain conditions. As a result, some princes
The tombs were specially set up with cinnabar roofs to nourish blood corpses. The reason why they did this was on the one hand to seek immortality, and on the other hand to use the blood corpses to protect the funerary objects in the tombs. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying of "blood corpses protect treasures"
.
However, setting up a cinnabar roof also has certain side effects, because setting up a cinnabar roof is equivalent to artificially destroying the Feng Shui aura of the tomb, which may affect the fate of future generations. Moreover, those corpses that eventually become blood corpses cannot be
The dead must be buried with the living! So generally speaking, in ancient times, except for the tombs of princes, generals, and some Taoist people, few people would set up cinnabar roofs.
In addition to the formation of blood corpses when setting up cinnabar roofs, there is another situation where blood corpses may be formed, that is, in some Feng Shui treasure places, because there is a steady stream of earthly Yin spiritual energy flowing into the tomb. Under certain conditions, the corpse may also slow down.
Slowly undergoes corpse transformation, and finally turns into a blood corpse or a zombie.
Huangtu Ridge is located in the city and has now become an isolated ridge. It is obviously not a big dragon vein, so if there are blood corpses here, they must not be formed under natural conditions, but the tomb owner
It was because of the cinnabar roof, so why did he do this?
I thought for a while and then asked: "Who is the owner of this tomb?"
Professor Dong replied: "The owner of this tomb, whose surname is Shao Ming Yuanjie, was originally a Taoist priest from the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain. He was called to Beijing in the third year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty and was specifically in charge of prayers and sacrifices. His prayers for rain came true and he won the title of Jiajing.
The emperor valued him. Later, Emperor Jiajing advocated Taoism, respected ghosts and gods, devoted himself to cultivating mysticism, and prayed for longevity. His favor towards Shao Yuanjie became day by day. He not only built a real man's mansion for Shao Yuanjie in the western suburbs of the capital, but also granted him the title of Minister of Rites.
He was a civil servant with a first-class salary. After his death, he was awarded the posthumous title of 'Wenkang Rongjing'."
"What? Let a Taoist priest serve as the Minister of Rites? The emperor must have lost his mind!"
"Emperor Jiajing was the emperor who most advocated Taoism in Chinese history, so it is not surprising that a Taoist priest should be the Minister of Rites."
"If he is a Taoist priest, it is normal to install a cinnabar roof, but why does he want to raise blood corpses? Is there some treasure in this tomb that needs to be taken care of?" I was a little confused, because raising blood corpses has always been the right way.
Therefore, even if later Taoist tombs were equipped with cinnabar roofs, some special measures would be taken to prevent the formation of bloody corpses.
Professor Dong frowned and said: "It is indeed possible to say that it is a treasure! At that time, Shao Yuanjie encouraged Emperor Jiajing to build Taoist temples and conduct religious ceremonies all over the country, which consumed a lot of financial and material resources, leaving the national treasury empty. Shao Yuanjie took advantage of the opportunity.
He filled his own pockets and plundered a large amount of money. But after his death, the huge amount of money he plundered was missing. There has always been a view in the historians that the huge amount of wealth became his burial objects."
"How many are there?" I asked curiously.
Professor Dong smiled and said: "Haha, I guess I have to pull several cars!"
"No wonder those guys dug such a big robbery hole. It turned out to be to transport a lot of treasures from the tomb!" I suddenly realized.
As soon as the gang of tomb robbers were mentioned, Professor Dong's expression immediately became serious again, and he said: "Brother Xiaoyu, you have provided a very valuable clue. Now there are several things that we must figure out as soon as possible. One
One is whether the funerary objects in the tomb have been stolen, and the other is whether the incident of Xiao Dan being possessed by evil spirits has anything to do with this tomb."
