Through Old Man Liu's detailed account, Wu Dian finally figured out what happened.
The old man's son is called Liu Minghua. He is over 20 years old. When he was in college, he did not inherit the traditional Chinese medicine skills passed down from his family. Instead, he chose his favorite archeology major. Now he is a graduate student for a famous university professor and often travels around with his tutor. .
Previously, at the official invitation, the professor joined an archaeological team to conduct a scientific investigation of a large tomb from the Northern Song Dynasty. The location was in this province. Liu Minghua also went there. This was a common occurrence and the Liu family was used to it.
But something happened this time! On the first day after entering the tomb, Liu Minghua contacted his family, but after entering the tomb, there was no news the whole day! Old Man Liu and his wife were worried, since they were not far from the province anyway, so they rushed over to understand the situation in person.
When I arrived at the place, I saw that the entire tomb had been sealed off and someone was assigned to guard it. No one could enter. The Liu family is a local snake in the province. After looking for connections for a while, they finally met the person in charge. They only said that there was an accident in the archeology and that the officials were trying to find a solution. They refused to say anything else.
Old Man Liu panicked and spent money to stuff his money. Only then did the person in charge reveal the truth. It turned out that something supernatural had happened in the tomb. All the members of the archaeological team who went down, including Liu Minghua, fell into the tomb and never came back. Officials organized a rescue, and All failed. We are reporting to the police and requesting support.
Old Man Liu and his wife only had this one son, and they had always loved him, but it could be said that all their hopes were on him. After learning the news, Mrs. Liu fell ill and was hospitalized immediately. Old Man Liu was extremely anxious and struggled to find a way to rescue his son.
The officials were unreliable. The person in charge was evasive at first glance and waited for the people inside to get out of trouble on their own. Since his son was not inside anyway, he might not have reported it to the superiors!
It had been two days, and Old Man Liu didn't dare to think about what was going on in the tomb. He just looked around for help like a headless fly. When Wu Dian's rich friend heard about it, he took the initiative to call and tell him that there was a real person here who might be able to solve his problem. Fortunately, he was searching for medicinal materials, otherwise he might not be willing to make this trip.
Old Man Liu burst into tears as he spoke. He pulled Wu Dian with his voice trembling: "Master Wu, I heard Mr. Li (that rich friend) say that you are a very capable and capable person. I really have no other choice. You must help and save Minghua. As long as you can save him, I will give you all my medicinal materials!"
Wu Dian felt sad to see an old father so sad. He patted the old man's hand and said, "Mr. Liu, now that you know about this matter, even if there are no medicinal materials, I can help. In this way, let's go there first. I'll see." It depends on what the situation is, don’t worry, I will try my best!”
It took almost 3 hours of driving from the provincial capital to reach a remote small county. The tomb was located in a hilly mountainous area. Isolation zones were set up across the distance, and all possible entry and exit routes were sealed with barriers, leaving only There was a road in and out, the door was locked, and a large number of people were on duty.
In a two-story building, Wu Dian followed Old Man Liu to meet the person in charge. It was a middle-aged man of short stature, pretending to be serious, and speaking in an official tone: "Oh, Mr. Liu, why are you here again? I told you that the higher-ups are organizing a rescue, and it will be effective soon."
We must believe in the country and the organization! Your son is not the only one trapped down there, there are also many state workers. I am just as anxious and worried as you! Go back quickly, ah, you will affect our work here. "
But according to Wu Dian's observation, there was no work going on. The outside was busy, but the door was locked, and it was quiet inside. It was obvious that everyone had withdrawn. Wu Dian understood why Old Man Liu came to him so anxiously. He was waiting for death!
Old Man Liu took the person in charge to the side and muttered, not knowing what he did. After a while, the person in charge came back and sat down with a smile, and his tone changed: "Hey, I fully understand Mr. Liu, as a father. I'll make an exception for you. You said this..." He pointed at Wu Dian
"Master Wu," Old Man Liu hurriedly explained: "A very capable expert, I specially invited him here." The person in charge sneered: "Okay, okay, Master Wu! Oops, the folk craftsmanship is a bit mysterious. If you dare to call me master, you have seen a lot."
He grinned: "Let me say it first. If Mr. Liu wants him to go down to see me, I can agree to it, but I am not responsible for his safety. Down there..." He stopped talking, obviously he didn't dare. mentioned.
Wu Dian and Old Man Liu looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over and have a look. Old Liu, please don't go there, just wait for me here!" Old Man Liu pulled him, with a look on his face. Apologizing: "Master Wu! Thank you, I ask you to take such a big risk, but you must be careful!"
The person in charge called over an honest-looking man and asked him to take Wu Dian to the entrance of the ancient tomb. The man looked embarrassed: "Leader, you don't know how evil that place is. I...I...I don't dare." Go!" The leader said with a straight face: "This is an order! Do you dare to disobey?"
Seeing that the man was shocked, he softened his tone: "What are you afraid of? I didn't let you in. Just take him to the entrance of the tomb. It'll be fine, ah~" The man reluctantly agreed and took him with him. Wu Dian walked out of the small building and entered the iron gate. After walking a short distance on the road, he walked along a newly opened dirt path toward the middle of the hills.
It is autumn and winter, and the leaves of the scattered trees have fallen off, leaving the branches bare and swaying gently in the wind, which is indescribably desolate. Seeing that this man was honest, Wu Dian asked about the situation: "Brother, what's going on here?"
The man was a little frightened: "Everything was fine before. But since the archaeological team went down, something has started to go wrong in this place. It's very cloudy. People get cold all over when they come over." He shuddered as he said that, and then looked at it in surprise. Wu Dian: "Master, aren't you cold?" Wu Dian has rarely felt the cold or heat since his cultivation has been on track.
He shook his head: "I'm not cold!" The man admired: "Then you are really capable, no wonder you dare to go down. Master, let me tell you, I have never seen anyone who goes down come up, and you can often hear some strange screams inside. It's probably an evil sect!" Wu Dian asked again, but he didn't know anything. He was just a temporary guard.
After walking for a while, you can see a large hill in the distance. A road is opened diagonally downwards, leading directly to the bottom. It was obviously dug with large machinery for archaeological purposes. The man didn't dare to go over there, so he pointed at the big hill: "It's right there, go there by yourself!"
When Wu Dian saw the place, he said to the man, "Okay, I'll go by myself. You can go back first." The man breathed a sigh of relief, responded, turned around and ran away as if running away.
