I nodded with a smile and walked in there.
This shrine is not too big. I looked around and saw nothing unusual or anything special.
"Huh……"
I reached out and touched the wall, and suddenly I touched some strange protrusions, which looked a bit like a piece of jade.
I took it off the wall and found that it was really a jade pendant, and the jade pendant looked crystal clear, as if there was a layer of running water.
This is……
"Professor Jin, look at what this is."
I handed the jade pendant to Professor Jin and said thoughtfully.
"You actually took off the jewelry inside. Be careful that Jiu Qiansui comes to find you tonight."
Professor Jin said jokingly, took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully in his hand.
"Teacher, there are a lot of these things here."
The young man also noticed some other jade pendants on the wall.
As he said that, he was about to go up and pull them all out.
"stop!"
At this time, there was a sudden sound, and we realized that there was an old man standing at the door. The old man was wearing ordinary peasant clothes. He frowned when he saw us destroying the things inside.
"Who are you? How dare you destroy the things inside the Nine Thousand Years Old Shrine."
The old man yelled angrily.
Professor Jin quickly explained: "Old gentleman, we are just curious to come in for a visit, nothing else."
"Are you done with the tour now? When you are done with the tour, leave quickly. This place is not for you."
The old man waved his hand and motioned for us to get out quickly.
I was a little helpless, looking at the shrine in front of me and sighing. It seemed that there must be some secret hidden in it?
Otherwise, this old man wouldn't be so nervous.
"We are from the national archaeological team, and we are here for important things."
Professor Jin said as he took out his ID and handed it to the old man.
But the old man smiled coldly.
He ignored Professor Jin at all.
"I don't care who you are, you are not allowed to visit this place, take them away quickly."
The old man stared at us with a gloomy face, his cloudy eyes shining brightly.
"you……"
Professor Jin was choked and his tone became a little excited.
But he finally swallowed it.
"Professor Jin, forget it, let's go."
I grabbed Professor Jin. It would do no good to forcefully argue with this person now. It would be better for us to wait until night to come back.
"Okay, Xiaomei and Xiaowu pack up and let's go."
Professor Jin waved his hand helplessly, and we left under the watch of the old man.
"There is definitely something going on here, otherwise the old man wouldn't have stopped us like this."
The young boy wearing glasses, named Xiao Wu, complained after sitting in the car.
"Let's go, let's drive the car out first and come back in the evening."
Professor Jin also thought so. After all, the nine thousand-year-old shrine is a very important thing, and it is not a big deal if someone is guarding it.
But I am a little curious. This nine thousand year old man is a sinner. After he committed a serious crime, Emperor Chongzhen had his house confiscated. Why did he build a shrine for himself?
Professor Jin also frowned. As an old professor, he had never been so angry before.
“Professor Jin, in your opinion, what’s so different about this shrine?”
I asked the doubts that had been buried deep in my heart. After all, I always felt that this new word was not easy, and the old man's reaction just now was also very strange.
"According to historical records, this nine-thousand-year-old man is guilty. How could this happen? Is it possible..."
"Could it be that at nine thousand years old, he secretly built it for himself?"
Professor Jin suddenly had such an idea, but immediately denied it.
Because this idea is so ridiculous.
We both exchanged looks and then shook our heads.
Professor Jin was thinking about this shrine along the way.
We drove back about three kilometers and then stopped.
"Let's take a rest here tonight and wait until they all fall asleep before we go."
Professor Jin's face was full of solemn expression. He must figure this matter out today.
Everyone nodded.
At night, because there was too much noise while driving, the few of us traveled lightly.
Walking all the way towards the ancestral hall, the old man wouldn't be watching in the middle of the night, right?
"By the way, where have you been these past few days?"
Professor Jin seemed to have thought of something and came to me and asked.
"I went to Huanglong Mountain. There are many ancient tombs there."
When I said this, Professor Jin and several of his students were shocked and looked at me with incredible eyes.
"Then the injury on your hand was probably bitten by something in the tomb, right?"
Professor Jin looked at me. The injuries on my hands were also quite obvious.
I smiled and nodded.
"You may not believe it, but you were bitten by the rice dumpling inside."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped and looked at me with incredible eyes.
"Have you met Zongzi?"
As a professor of archeology, Professor Jin naturally believed in this kind of thing.
I nodded, and everyone looked at me with approval. After all, I was able to come back alive after meeting Zongzi. It really impressed them.
"Huanglong Mountain is a forbidden area for our archeology, and there are many dangers there. I still remember that more than ten years ago, a group of tomb robbers were all pulled back by the rice dumplings that ran out."
When Professor Jin talked about this, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
Isn't this exactly the same as what happened to me?
It seemed that the group of people did come out, but they were indeed pushed in by the zongzi.
"I also encountered the thing you mentioned when I went there. The group of tomb robbers were all dead, but all the valuable things inside were inside. If you have any ideas, I will take you there."
I looked at Professor Jin and said seriously.
Professor Jin quickly shook his head.
"I'm an archeologist, not here to die. I've seen that thing before, and it's simply not something ordinary people like us can handle."
A few people quickly arrived at that place while talking.
At this moment, it was dark inside the Shengsi Temple, and the old man was nowhere to be seen.
A group of us walked over quietly. At night, the gloomy atmosphere around us became even heavier.
"You all walk behind me. If there is any danger, I will block it."
I walked at the front and said to Professor Jin and others behind me.
When they heard my words, they didn't refute, they just nodded silently.
Walking to the door, I stretched out a hand and slowly pushed open the wooden door.
"Crack!"
The moment the door opened, a gust of cold wind blew over.
This cold wind was mixed with the slightest smell of blood. My heart suddenly tightened. I quickly closed the door and put my ear to the door and listened carefully.
"What's the matter?"
The people behind me noticed my sudden move, and all of them asked curiously.
"I feel like there's something there."
I took a deep breath and said to the person behind me.
"No way, did you encounter Zongzi again?"
Xiaowu whispered.
I shook my head. It was definitely not zongzi. How could such a thing appear in this place?
And the smell of blood mixed with a strong stinky smell is definitely not rice dumplings.
Even rice dumplings are probably a hundred times thicker than this.
"ah……"
A sudden scream came from the ancestral hall, which scared me almost out of my mind.
How could there be anyone in this ancestral hall?
"You guys wait here, I'll go take a look."
I told the people behind me and then walked towards the ancestral hall.
After getting closer, I found a corpse lying in the center of the ancestral hall. This corpse had been torn apart beyond recognition.
But his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying before he died.
And next to the corpse stood a white figure, with its back to me.
She was wet all over, her long hair draped over her shoulders, as if she had just taken a shower, and her figure was also very tall.
"Who are you?"
I asked her.
She ignored me and turned her head.
When I saw the blood flowing on her face clearly, I was stunned. How could this person be human?
The two long fangs grew out, and he smiled at me.
Suddenly a dark wind blew, and the woman rushed directly towards me.
"I want to see what you are."
He punched the face of the woman who was rushing towards her.
"Bang!"
That ferocious ghost face left a bright red mark, but it still rushed towards me crazily.
I quickly dodged the other party's attack, but doubts arose in my heart. Why did this woman not attack substantively, but just relied on brute force?
We were entangled like this for a while, and I found the opportunity to jump directly on her back, ride on her neck, and hit her on the head.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and I saw her head being hit hard by me.
I used enough strength this time, and her body also trembled, and then she lay on the ground.
I breathed a sigh of relief and put her where she was.
Hearing that there was no movement inside, Professor Jin and others also walked in.
But when they saw the corpse on the ground, several people's eyes widened.
"What's going on? Isn't this the old man who drove us away during the day?"
Xiao Wu remembered it very clearly and said as he looked at the old man lying on the ground, his face changed beyond recognition.
I nodded. It seemed that this old man was quite unlucky enough to encounter such a thing.
"Professor Jin, you are well-informed, what is this?"
