Reborn as a snake, creating a magic method in the real world

Chapter 101: Confused, died in the Five Thunders Zhengfa? (Third update)

There was some manual work involved in excavation in the tomb. In order to save time, the archaeological team went to a nearby village and hired villagers to help.

The remuneration given is quite good. After all, it is an official job, and the treatment is excellent. The villagers are also very happy.

Originally, everything had been settled and work had started, but it was really strange that he suddenly said he was not going to do it.

When Professor Zhang rushed over, there was the sound of arguing in front of him, and he could faintly hear words such as "mountain god".

If these villagers don't work, it will take a certain amount of time to deploy manpower outside, and the construction period will be delayed again, which will undoubtedly make the current situation of the archaeological team worse.

"Didn't we agree before? Why did we suddenly quit? If it's about salary, we can talk about it again."

The villagers waved their hands with a secretive expression on their faces.

"It's not about salary, it's because the mountain god doesn't want you to dig this ancient tomb. If we help, the mountain god will definitely be angry."

I thought these villagers wanted to raise prices on the ground, but I didn't expect this to be the reason.

The people in the archaeological team were a little speechless. What age was this, and they were so superstitious about the mountain god, but they had something to ask for, and it was difficult to speak straightforwardly.

"The mountain gods have no control over this aspect. This thing has to be managed by Mojin Xiaowei. Moreover, we are digging these ancient tombs for research and to better protect these cultural relics. This is a good thing."

No matter how dry the mouths of the archaeological team members were, the villagers remained unmoved and insisted on their own ideas.

"The mountain god has sent those animals to stop you. He must not agree with it. We can't continue no matter what."

The villagers also knew that the archaeological team was being harassed by animals one after another, causing such a big commotion, and believed that this was a decree given by the mountain god.

"You are also good people. You still pay us wages. It's not that we don't want it. We really can't do it. I would like to advise you to leave here quickly and don't continue digging. Otherwise, you may not know what will happen in the future."

After leaving a few words, the villagers also went down the mountain and left.

The people in the archaeological team were really speechless. Now they were a little short of manpower. The villagers had left, and the remaining people were in low spirits.

"Professor Zhang, what should we do now?"

Professor Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how difficult the work is, we must continue. If the villagers don't come, we will contact the township. If it doesn't work, we can still go to the city! In the worst case, we will do it ourselves."

"And regarding the harassment of animals every night, from now on we will be divided into patrol teams, and everyone will take turns on duty!"

People have come up with all the solutions. Since patrolling at night, whenever you see a small animal, you should drive it away as soon as possible.

This did alleviate the problem of animal harassment at night, and as expected, no animals came to disturb their sleep.

Tonight is the second group of patrols. There are five people in the patrol team. In the second half of the night, there will be a change of guard and they will go to rest.

Several people were chatting in low voices while inspecting the surrounding environment.

"Not to mention, Professor Zhang's method is quite effective. Since the night patrol, the number of animals causing trouble in the middle of the night has really decreased."

"But then again, why do these animals always come to cause trouble? And they don't seem to be very afraid of people. We don't take the initiative to provoke them."

"Didn't the few villagers who left say that there is a mountain god here? Anyway, I don't believe it. What age is this?"

While they were discussing, there was a thin sound of strings coming from the grass not far away, and there seemed to be some movement.

"Those little animals must have come to cause trouble again."

A few people tiptoed over, but the grass suddenly stopped. Just when they were a little confused.

A black shadow suddenly came out and almost hit him.

"It's a rabbit. It must have passed by accidentally."

They looked at each other and smiled. They all felt that they were a little out of control, and they were about to turn back.

More and more animals are jumping out of the grass in all directions. The small ones include squirrels and voles, and the big ones include hyenas and jackals.

There were only five of them. They had never seen such a battle before. They were so frightened that they froze in place and did not dare to move at all.

There were only a dozen animals that harassed them before, but now they were so densely packed that they were hard to count.

What's more, they are only archeologists and are no more courageous than ordinary people. Most of them had clerical jobs before, so they can be said to be powerless.

Although there were no large beasts among them, if those jackals and hyenas gave them a bite, they wouldn't be able to bear it.

Being stared at by so many green beast eyes, the members of the patrol team felt cold all over, like little chickens, huddled together to keep warm.

They wanted to shout out, but under the huge fear, no sound came out of their throats, as if someone had blocked their throats.

Time passed minute by minute. It was only a few seconds, but it seemed as long as a century.

The animals did not take the initiative to attack, but just stared at them, then turned around and ran towards the tent camp.

"Everyone be careful!"

Someone reacted and shouted a reminder, but it was too late.

There was a sudden rush of people on the other side of the tent. Many people opened the tent and turned on their flashlights. They were completely dumbfounded when they saw animals of all sizes outside gathered into a black river and shuttled between the tents.

"Why are there so many?"

Some people were even accidentally knocked down by animals, and even the flashlight fell to the ground, and the shaky light shone on the treetops.

The plants with clear outlines in the daytime have turned into huge monsters in the darkness. When the mountain wind blows, there are many ghosts and shadows, which makes people even more uneasy.

Everyone ran away in a panic, and some people tried to pick up tools to disperse them, but there were too many animals and they were densely packed.

The black trend has no beginning and no end, blending into the night and looking endless.

It's like a carnival night for animals.

Fear, panic, and all kinds of negative emotions were mixed together and grew infinitely in the dark night. The people in the archaeological team were a little desperate.

I don’t know how long it took before these animals finally left.

It was already getting light, but they had been struggling for most of the night. Fortunately, after inspection, there were no casualties, but some people were frightened.

After a night of hard work, everyone looked a little exhausted.

"Professor Zhang, those animals chewed up a lot of tools."

Although there were no casualties, the equipment suffered damage. Even Professor Zhang's glasses had a leg bitten off, and a clear row of tooth marks could be seen on them.

Even the pots and pans used for cooking were not immune to the damage. In addition to people and cultural relics, everything that could be destroyed was destroyed by them. The wires of the generator were chewed up.

The destructive power is really powerful.

The archaeological tools were damaged and it was impossible for them to go into battle with bare hands. It would take time to get new ones.

Professor Zhang rubbed his temples and said, "Investigate what is damaged. Contact the research institute and ask them to send new ones quickly."

The members of the archaeological team looked at Professor Zhang carefully and said, "Everything is damaged."

Looking at the pile of scrap metal-like tools, with almost no one intact, Professor Zhang took a breath and took a few steps back.

If it weren't for someone supporting him, he might have fallen to the ground.

In addition to not biting people and destroying cultural relics, it can be said that all places where they can bite have been destroyed by these animals.

"Oh no, Professor Zhang!"

Professor Zhang was so excited that he almost had a stress reaction, and said in a very serious tone: "What happened again?"

The visitor looked at his face and seemed hesitant to continue speaking.

"Tell me, is there any blow that I can't bear now?"

"Part of that ancient tomb collapsed!"

Professor Zhang's eyes darkened and he almost fainted, "What are you talking about? How could the ancient tomb collapse?"

Everyone hurried over to check the situation and saw many animal footprints above the tomb. The soil here was soft and not tight, and so many animals passed by in groups.

As a result, part of it collapsed, and the place they had finally dug out was buried again.

The only good news is that this collapse does not damage the tomb, and the cultural relics inside will not be affected.

But their work in the previous few days was equivalent to wasted. Now there are not enough excavators and the props have been damaged, which has wasted a lot of time.

Although it is said that good things come only in time, there has never been any archaeological work like this, with various problems emerging one after another, making it difficult to carry out follow-up work.

At first, animals only came to cause trouble, but later they formed a patrol team and followed the same example. There were so many animals that even the entire archaeological team combined could not resist them.

The animals had very clear goals, destroying all visible tools but not biting anyone.

The archaeological team felt as if they did not want them to continue excavating the ancient tomb.

One can't help but wonder if someone is manipulating these animals behind the scenes, or if these animals have really become spirits.

A series of events consumed most of the energy of the archaeological team, and the subsequent process can be said to be extremely slow.

<divclass="contentadv">"I feel like the recent series of weird things are being controlled by someone behind the scenes. You said it's impossible for those animals to spontaneously organize to cause trouble and go against us, right?"

"Is it possible that someone is really behind this? Don't be ridiculous. Can humans still communicate with animals?"

"That's not what I meant. Do you remember what those villagers said before they left?"

"You don't really believe that there are mountain gods in this world, do you? We are all highly educated people."

"I mean, could it be the fault of the villagers?"

This is not impossible. What the mountain god said, maybe the villagers don't want them to dig.

But here comes the question, if they are really villagers, why do the villagers do this and how do they drive these animals?

This is puzzling.

Without any evidence, they could not accuse the villagers without any basis.

Although the animals did not attack them last night, for safety reasons, who can guarantee that they will not attack humans next time.

After all, everyone was still frightened by the scene like yesterday and didn't want to see it a second time.

All the archaeological teams plan to move down the mountain, so that those animals will not come over to harass them.

Although it is a bit troublesome to go up and down the mountain, for personal safety reasons, there is no problem in running a few more mountain roads.

If you could barely understand human nature before, what happened next was even more incredible and incomprehensible.

I originally thought I would be able to have a good sleep after going down the mountain.

However, the people in the archaeological team still had trouble sleeping, and some of them still worked with huge bags under their eyes and bruises the next day.

For no other reason than they had nightmares at night.

Logically speaking, if he was so sleepy, he should just fall asleep, but when he finally fell asleep, he ended up having nightmares, which was really exhausting both physically and mentally.

"I don't know what happened yesterday. I dreamed that I was being chased by a skeleton. It was so scary. The skeleton almost hit me in the face several times."

One of them couldn't help but complain and talked about his dream last night.

The companion beside him changed his face slightly, "What a coincidence. I also dreamed about it last night, and I was also chased by a white-skeletal man."

"It's a coincidence, so am I."

After some exchanges, everyone's expressions turned extremely ugly.

All of their dreams turned out to be similar, they all dreamed of a set of bones!

"It can't be so evil. Everyone had the same dream at night."

"Could it be because you went to the tomb during the day? But the problem is that we haven't come into contact with the bones of ancient people recently. We don't have this dream in our subconscious, right?"

It's normal for one person to have nightmares, but it's a bit weird for so many people to have similar dreams at the same time.

But there are still some people who sleep soundly without dreaming, and they don’t know why.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Some people who had not dreamed did not believe what they said, "How can it be so bizarre? Maybe you are too tired and have forgotten it."

Not long after they said this, they were slapped in the face, because that night, they also dreamed of the bones their companions had mentioned.

And the dream is very real and almost immersive.

Being chased non-stop by a ghastly white skeleton.

The members of the archaeological team can no longer remember the last time they had a good night's sleep.

Since arriving here, strange things have happened one after another, and the archaeological work has been unable to proceed at all.

"Who am I? Did I meet the White Bone Demon?"

"Professor Zhang, why don't we give up? You have also seen the strange things that have happened in the past few days. Although we do not believe in ghosts and gods, some things cannot be explained by science."

The animals that kept harassing them, and the same nightmares they had at night, were all affecting the nerves of the archaeological team.

They were just ordinary people, and their bodies simply could not withstand such a blow. Although the superficial damage was not great, it had a subtle impact on everyone's nerves.

How can I have the energy to work if I can't get a rest at night?

Moreover, those animals would also fill the graves with soil. When they went up the mountain to look, they could find animal footprints and traces of fresh soil near the graves.

The members of the archaeological team were dejected, "Maybe as the villagers said, the mountain god doesn't want us to dig this ancient tomb."

Professor Zhang hates that iron cannot become steel, "Where have you read all your books? Listen to this, does it sound like what an intellectual should say?"

"But it is true that our work cannot be carried out. Maybe this is God's will."

"Yes, Professor, look at the time when we were digging, we encountered so many things."

"Is it because our ancestors won't let us dig it?"

I have to say that what everyone said still makes sense.

They have been working in this field for many years, and they have to believe in some things. It cannot be said that this is superstition, but more like a custom that has been passed down for a long time.

When you encounter a lot of resistance during excavation, it may be time to consider giving up.

Professor Zhang carefully thought about what happened these days and what everyone said. His old bones couldn't stand the torment. He waved his hand and said:

"You go back, I will think about it carefully."

……

Shortly afterwards, while the police investigation was still in progress, they suddenly received news that the archaeological team was preparing to leave.

When Sun Zhenbang rushed over, Professor Zhang had already made his decision. He asked with some confusion: "Why did the archaeological team suddenly decide to leave?"

Professor Zhang sighed, "There is nothing we can do. Strange things have happened around the tomb recently. Everyone else in the team is having the same nightmare. Those who are struggling can't sleep well at all."

Professor Zhang complained bitterly.

Sun Zhenbang looked a little curious, "Being harassed by animals? Is it like a tide of animals?"

He thought of what the villagers told him when he went to the mountain village to investigate. The body of the tomb robber was later found based on the traces of wild beasts. Now the archaeological team is also related to it.

Is there any hidden secret in this?

Sun Zhenbang noticed something was wrong, but he couldn't connect it. He just felt more and more weird. Then he heard Professor Zhang's story and couldn't help but be even more surprised.

"The same nightmare? What exactly is it like?"

Professor Zhang said helplessly: "They all said that they were chased by bones in their dreams."

Bones? !

Sun Zhenbang was slightly lost in thought. He didn't even hear clearly what Professor Zhang said next.

A certain point in the memory was triggered. It seemed that the trafficker had said similar words about being chased by white bones when he called the police.

Now the archaeological team is all having the same nightmare, and there are actually bones appearing in the nightmare. It's almost the same thing.

First there were strange movements of animals, and then there was the dream of bones...

It's just too weird.

Sun Zhenbang was so absorbed in thinking that Professor Zhang called him several times without hearing him.

"Officer Sun, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, I just thought of one thing. Speaking of which, strange things did happen to this mountain before."

Sun Zhenbang informed him about the previous human traffickers and said half-jokingly: "Don't tell me, it's really possible that you encountered a white-bone spirit."

Professor Zhang looked stunned, "This kind of thing still happens."

Could it be that there is some connection between the two?

Both Sun Zhenbang and Professor Zhang felt that this matter was quite strange, but after thinking for a long time, they couldn't figure out the reason.

Professor Zhang sighed, the archaeological team was leaving anyway, and even if there really was a White Bone Demon, it would have nothing to do with them.

"By the way, Officer Sun, how is the progress of your case? Have you recovered the missing cultural relics?"

Thinking of this, Professor Zhang asked, very concerned about this, because the lost cultural relics are very important, and even involve some important information about Zuo Ci during his lifetime.

Sun Zhenbang looked ashamed, "The cause of death of those tomb robbers was different, like being struck by lightning. However, no murder weapon was found at the scene, and there was no natural lightning strike that day. It is very strange. Because of their deaths, the current clues have been interrupted. All we know is these The tomb robbers were hired by overseas cultural relics reselling groups, so it is difficult to trace them. As for the lost cultural relics, there are currently no latest clues."

"Employment by overseas groups?"

"Killed by lightning?"

Professor Zhang seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He also responded with a joke: "There is a five-thunder method recorded in Zuo Ci's book, which is called palm thunder. You said that the cause of death of these tomb robbers was different. Could it be that they were struck by thunder?" Isn’t it possible to kill him with a knife?”
