Into the modern comprehension

How to explain this weird coincidence, is Xuan Jizi talking nonsense, or Master Yan has concealed the truth since the performance?This required a third new witness to testify, so Sui Erqi approached Professor Yan.

Sui Erqi, who is a student, can learn anecdotes and strange things there, and Yan Shuo, a teacher, of course cannot be ignorant of the cemetery he is going to.

On the contrary, he can also provide a more reliable evidence, and he can suspect that there have been "zombies" in the Pingxiang area of ​​Guangxi in the past.All traces in the official records have been erased, but Lord Yan who ordered the mountain to be burned back then left a diary, in which he mentioned that incredible event.

"In the Qing Dynasty, there were many ethnic groups living in that area. At that time, when the inspector Yan Yan came to Pingxiang County, more than 20 villagers died in the local event. They confessed that they were killed by the extremely fast zombie attack. The situation of tearing and biting was unbearable. Unable to fight against the large wave of zombies, the inspector Yan Yan ordered the mountain to be closed and burned for seven days. These things were not recorded in the memorial, but only recorded in his diary."

The number of diaries published by the Inspector Yan Yan was very small. He was not a well-known literati like Nalan Rongruo, and only a few of these diaries were collected.

Professor Yan is very appreciative of Sui Erqi's learning attitude, this is because he has checked very carefully, but he really doesn't need to think too much about the supernatural.

"Xiao Sui, in the field of archaeology, we are more likely than others to encounter those seemingly incredible phenomena, but those can be explained by scientific principles, just like the curse of the tomb. In fact, it is a kind of bacteria that has entered the body. And this zombie or something, I guess it was the rabies attack and biting people indiscriminately. We mainly buried it for the bronze drum this time, and the point must not be mistaken."

Professor Yan's explanation is quite tenable, Sui Erqi thought it made sense, and pinched away the slight suspicion that had just arisen.

Shen He got on the plane worriedly, and Sui Qi was a little too stubborn, and he finally got him to look at the world with skeptical eyes, which was rectified by Professor Yan with a few words. "Do you really believe what Lao Yan said? I have a keen sixth sense, and I always feel that this journey is not so smooth."

Sui Er Qi glanced at Lin Wen who was traveling with her, it's no wonder Shen He could feel comfortable with this person.

A group of six of them, two professors and four students, received an invitation from the Guangxi Provincial Institute of Archeology and History to assist in the research.

Generally speaking, whichever province the archaeological work is carried out, the research institute in that province is responsible. If the value of the tomb and cultural relics is too high, for example, the National Research Institute of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor will send someone to guide the work.This time, the two professors from Peking University received the invitation from each other, mainly because they were both one of the excavators who participated in the bronze drum burial more than ten years ago.

There are always two or three places in the professor's hand to take the students out for practice. Although these four are about to graduate, there is no rule that they cannot take senior students there.Professor Sun Qin is a teacher in the history department, so he took Lin Wen and Meng Feifei on the road together.

Shen He felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't go to see Lin Wen. Originally, another female classmate was supposed to go with him. He didn't expect to be replaced by Lin Wen because he was temporarily ill.Shen He was a little surprised, Lin Wen was not preoccupied with staying in Beijing, so how could she be willing to go to Guangxi? Could it be that her affairs in the capital have already been settled?

**

Regardless of what everyone had in mind, after a day of rest after getting off the plane, a group of six people plus a local guide from Guangxi went into the mountain.

This time it was discovered that the bronze drums were buried by local people in the mountains. The pile of bronze drums had been dug out, and other funerary objects in the cemetery had been stolen.It was a pity after the research institute sent people over. The tomb was severely damaged, so I could only think about it bitterly, at least the bones were left behind.

The Guangxi Research Institute believes that the scope of investigation should be expanded. Maybe there will be undiscovered bronze drum burials in this mountain. Several areas have been delineated. I hope they will be faster than the tomb robbers this time, so they invited Yan Shuo and Sun Come and help.

Ali is a local. He often walks in the mountains. He leads the way in a clear direction, and even picks a mountain road that is easy to walk. Even so, it takes half a day for them to enter the mountain to reach their destination, and it takes them overnight to arrive in the morning.

Shen He had already chatted with the guide Ali, "Uncle, when those tomb robbers entered the mountain, didn't you hear any strange noises? Generally speaking, they would use guns or something."

Lin Wen was already sarcastic before Ali could answer: "Hehe, you can hear the explosion in the mountains in the town? These ears are good enough, comparable to wind ears."

Lin Wen's tone was choking enough that Professor Yan glanced at her, thinking that the young couple had a quarrel?The matter of Shen He and Lin Wen being together has not been hidden from anyone, and most of the teachers in the department know about it.

Shen He suppressed his anger. If a good man doesn't fight a woman, he can't lose his demeanor!

Sui Erqi changed the subject directly, and he also asked Ali: "Uncle, have you heard the sound of bronze drums these days?"

"Sure enough, you are a good brother. Your ears are better. You can't even hear the explosion, and you can even hear the sound of the bronze drum!" Lin Wen added again. She just didn't like Sui Erqi. How could they fall out with Shen He casually?

Later, when he was lying down, he was shot because it was prepared for Sui Erqi.

Professor Sun Qin, who was walking behind, had a bad complexion. He was not at all willing to bring out students with such behaviors. Disunity was the most taboo for archeology together. "Lin Wen, if you don't feel well, you can go back before going too far!"

When Lin Wen heard this, she immediately shrank her neck. She had to enter the mountain, how could she just leave like this.

Sui Erqi didn't look at Lin Wen from the beginning to the end, completely ignored her, but still waited for Ali's answer.

Ali really gave an affirmative answer, "I haven't heard the sound of explosions, but I have heard the sound of drums. When I lived down the mountain with several hunters, I heard the sound of drums coming from the mountain. The sound is very heavy and somewhat strange. It is not like the sound of a general big drum. The sound of thud-thump-thump is like beating on the heart. It makes the heart beat very sad and a little breathless. But I may have heard it wrong. No one else heard it."

Sui Erqi and Shen He looked at each other, there was actually a drum sound, could this weird drum sound come from the bronze drum?But now that they have all entered the mountain, it is impossible to pack up and escape with the reason of suspecting that there are zombies here.

As the sky gradually darkened, Ali took the six of them to a large cave, where hay and other items were laid, and a wooden shelf and two iron pots could be seen. This is a place where locals often come to rest.

Ali pointed to the southeast and said: "In the past five kilometers is where we are going tomorrow morning. There is no place where we can sleep overnight. We rest here. There is a stream to the north where we can catch fish. It takes only half an hour to go back and forth. .”

The two professors and the girl Lin Wen stayed in the cave. Ali took Sui Erqi and the others to Zhang Luo for dinner. There are not only fish but also mushrooms everywhere, but as long as you have some common sense of survival in the wild, you will know that mushrooms cannot be eaten casually. , Seeing their colorful appearance, no one stepped forward to pick them.

Because I was fully prepared and brought some seasonings with me, even if there were no delicious mushrooms, I caught more than a dozen fish for this meal and I was very full.In order to preserve their strength, seven people took turns to stay on duty at night. The others rested very early and continued on the road at dawn tomorrow.

Maybe it was because of the long walk on the mountain road, Sui Qi fell asleep and fell asleep, but he didn't know how long he had slept, and he felt a cold wind coming in from outside the cave, waking him up abruptly up.The weather forecast didn't say it was going to rain, so how could the temperature drop suddenly?

He opened his eyes dazedly thinking that the fire rising at the entrance of the cave did not know when it was extinguished. He turned on the flashlight and looked at his watch, and the time was displayed at [-]:[-].Meng Feifei, who was standing by the fire, fell asleep squatting, and the other five people in the cave were also fast asleep.

Sui Erqi is going to relight the fire, and by the way, he will be on duty in the middle of the night.After relighting the fire, his body warmed up a lot, and he took a few steps outside the cave casually, wanting to see the moon in the mountain.But when he looked far away, he found a few small spots of light moving a few hundred meters away.

Sui Erqi picked up the flashlight and shot it there, the light from the military flashlight is far away, but Sui Erqi saw the whole picture of the small light spot moving here, it was a person in tattered clothes!No, you can't use people to call each other, even if you can't see clearly enough, but their blue-faced fangs are illuminated by the flashlight!

Before encountering zombies, there will be many fantasies.Recently, the zombie series movies that came out of Hong Kong Island are also being played in the video hall. In this movie, the zombies are dressed in the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty, and they are walking hop by hop.

And the limbs of these blue-faced and long-toothed monsters were not so stiff, they didn't stretch out their hands and hopped towards them, they were still flexible as if they came here by running!

Sui Er Qi pinched his face, it was really not an illusion, he quickly woke up all the people in the cave. "Go, zombies are coming from behind!"

Lin Wen wanted to taunt, but Ali's face changed. He picked up the flashlight in his left hand, and rushed out of the cave with a lit wooden stick in his right. Then he heard him yell: "We're going into the water!" Run! They don't go into the water!"

Sui Erqi didn't bother to think too much at this time, are these zombies afraid of water?How did Ali know how to deal with it? Could it be that rabies is afraid of water?
