The drizzle falls on the Qilian Mountains.
On the northern slopes of the Qilian Mountains, the loud roaring sound of equipment stopped.
A worker who looked to be in his thirties stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and wiped the sweat and water droplets off his forehead with a towel.
Raising his head, he looked around with some confusion: "Brother Li, did you hear a sound?"
"sound?"
The distant sound of steel hitting rock faded away.
In the deep pit, the man holding the impact drill raised his head and wiped his face with a towel, "What is the sound? I didn't hear it."
"It's just a rustling sound, much like the wind blowing through the leaves." Looking at the dark sky and drizzle around him, the man watched in confusion, his dark face not looking like he was faking it.
Seeing all this, Brother Li frowned and observed carefully.
But there were only hazy drizzle and dark clouds all around. I didn't hear any sound, but I felt a bit of chill in this hot summer.
But after listening carefully for a moment, he seemed to hear a faint rustling sound, and was stunned for a moment!
"Huh? I heard it too! It seemed like there was a sound! But..."
The man raised his head and looked at the dark clouds and the drizzle all around. He was a little confused: "There is no wind around here. Where is the sound coming from?"
"Did you hear it too? I thought it was something wrong with my ears recently!" The dark-skinned man answered doubtfully.
"I heard it." The second figure nodded and looked around in confusion: "But the surrounding trees have been cut down. Where did this sound come from?"
"do not know."
The two listened for a while, but couldn't find the source. In desperation, they could only continue to operate the excavation equipment in their hands and continue working.
It rains continuously.
In the sky, thunder and lightning gradually began to flash.
Heavy rain seemed to be coming at any time, and the two of them worked hard to finish the task at hand before the rain really arrived.
However, as the two dug deeper and deeper, the sound of wind in their ears suddenly began to get louder.
"Woo~woo~"
The wind blew, and along with the sound of the wind, the hazy rustling sound that filled their ears began to grow louder.
Like two groups of gray thin threads, they were constantly twisting, combining, and intertwining, and finally turned into a messy cloud, which gradually began to become clearer.
The dark man finally frowned at the subtle voice that kept echoing in his ears.
"No! I always feel a voice!"
He dropped the equipment in his hand, frowned, and listened carefully to his surroundings.
The wind howled and the rain continued.
There were only two men working on the quiet hillside. Their location was somewhat remote, more than ten minutes away from the nearest point.
The swarthy man made his hands into the shape of a trumpet and put them to his ears to listen carefully.
Seeing such a scene of the swarthy man, Brother Li next to him felt a little hairy. There was a continuous drizzle in the gloomy mountains, and everything around him was dark. There was something indescribably weird in all directions.
"Old Hei, it's not that much, it should be just a few."
"Oops!!!"
Before Brother Li finished speaking, a slight whisper fell into his ears!
'Rustling.'
At this moment, as if someone was whispering in his ear, a clear voice penetrated directly through his ears and suddenly rang in his mind!
At this moment, Brother Li seemed to feel that there was a kid lying on his shoulder, whispering! !
"I***!"
"What's happening here!"
Brother Li suddenly jumped up, holding the impact drill in his hand, his face was pale, and he looked around with a look of shock and fear! !
"really have?!"
"Old Hei?! Did you fucking hear that? It seemed like just now"
He was stunned before he finished speaking!
Because at this moment, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly became thicker, and a purple lightning suddenly fell from the sky!
'Crack! ! ! '
Blue and purple lightning tore through the sky!
This moment!
The voice that was originally just like a whisper in the ear suddenly became countless times louder and exploded like thunder!
'Rustling! '
Brother Li's eyes widened, and he was so frightened by the sound that he trembled and almost knelt on the ground on the spot!
The dark-skinned man who was still listening to the surroundings knelt on the ground with a pop!
His legs were weak and his face was pale, as if he had seen a ghost. After a moment, he let out a roar and jumped three feet high!
"I knew there was a problem here, I knew there was a problem here! A few days ago, Brother Pilong came to me and told me about the underground rivers. I still didn't believe it. I'm such a fool!!"
"I knew this antique place wasn't a good place!"
"Help, help!"
"The fortune teller said I have a tough character, so you guys should stay away!!"
After saying this, the dark man dropped the work equipment in his hand and ran towards the distance without hesitation!
The wind blew in the cold mountains, and the drizzle in the sky turned into a downpour at some point. Along with the roaring thunder, the dark sky was like a beast that chooses people to devour, as if even the darkness from all directions was squeezing in. !
Seeing this scene, Brother Li was also furious!
Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away! !
It rained heavily, and the two of them ran for their lives on the muddy mountain road.
While running, they kept looking back, as if something terrifying was chasing them!
Actually!
It’s not just these two workers at work!
On this day, with the deepening of excavation and heavy rain and thunder, many other engineering team members who were closer to here heard these sounds!
"what sound?"
"Who is speaking?"
They suddenly raised their heads and looked around in confusion, but there was no movement around them. Only the dark rainstorm enveloped the entire room!
"How is this going?"
They covered their ears, but it had no effect at all!
Those sounds that were like trivial whispers easily penetrated the barrier of the palms, as if pouring into the ears, and became clearer and clearer!
The sound was not obvious at first, but as time went by, it was as if someone was constantly whispering to them in their ears, whispering, making people feel numb!
And as time goes by, these sounds become more obvious and weirder!
"What's happening here?"
"Did you hear this noise?"
"I heard it. It seemed like someone was reciting something. He seemed to be screaming!"
".Write it? The voice in my ear seems to be whispering that he has written something!"
"This sound suddenly appeared in my ears. Some people told me before that they didn't believe it, but now it appeared directly in my ears!"
"It's so weird. Is this really the relic of the First Emperor?"
Faced with all this, many engineering staff were surprised and shocked.
He covered his ears, but it had no effect at all. Like a trivial whisper, the sound easily penetrated the barrier of his palms, seemed to pour into his ears, and became clearer.
Weird sounds filled the engineering team!
And as time goes by, especially as the engineering excavation continues to advance, that weird sound appears more and more!
By the time the excavation project reached about halfway, dozens of people in the entire large engineering team had already heard this sound!
Especially when there is rain falling in the Qilian Mountains, or thunder is shining, this sound will be several times clearer!
It's like something blowing wind in your ears. For just a moment, your whole body will tremble, your scalp will be numb, and even your breathing will seem to be stagnant!
But when he came to his senses again, he found that everything had disappeared!
"There it is again, that sound is there again!"
"How is this going?"
"Who is there!"
Later, not only when working, but also when sleeping at night, there would occasionally be members of the engineering team, and these weird sounds would echo in their ears!
Faced with all this, many members of the engineering team in Qilian Mountain are all panic-stricken!
"This is the third time in recent times. More than a dozen people have heard that weird sound!"
"what on earth is it?"
"What is buried under the Qilian Mountains?"
"Many people are already on strike, clamoring to go back!"
Faced with all this, old man Li Yunshan and many other old archaeologists also frowned!
what on earth is it? Where did the sound come from?
After all these years of digging, they have never seen such evil things several times!
Is this still some kind of tomb?
It shouldn't be
They tried hard to solve all this, but to no avail!
Even under the influence of these weird sounds, even the progress of the project has slowed down!
There were even several workers who heard this sound several times in succession and were frightened out of their wits. Finally, they were sent to a hospital in a nearby municipal area for consultation and treatment.
However, when old man Li Yunshan went to see those patients, his frown became even tighter.
Because these workers were trembling with fear. Even in the hospital, they looked like they were cowering. They huddled up in a corner and covered their ears with cups and pillows. They were obviously overly frightened. reason.
"Don't come over, don't come over! Get out, get out!!"
"I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything, stop talking!!"
"Get out, get out!!"
Facing the inquiries from Old Man Li Yunshan and others, these workers were all in great pain, and some of them were so irritable that they almost wanted to take action!
Walking out helplessly, old man Li Yunshan actually wanted to ask them what they heard, but it was of no use at all.
"Doctor, how are these people doing?" old man Li Yunshan asked.
"Mr. Li, after our hospital's investigation, there are no problems with the several patients sent by your Qilian Mountain Engineering Team." The old attending doctor in white flipped through the examination report and frowned as he spoke, "Not only are there no physical problems, Any impact seems to be better than usual, and all indicators are very healthy."
"They are all healthy? What about the auditory system? They seem to have heard something." Old Man Li Yunshan frowned.
"It's normal. I've checked it several times, and it's all normal. The auditory hallucinations they expressed are definitely not a hearing problem, and they all said that the sounds disappeared as soon as they left the Qilian Mountains."
"I suggest you go to the psychology department to have a look."
"Okay, please."
Old man Li Yunshan left in a hurry and called in a professional psychologist.
However, in the face of these things, these psychologists are also confused about it all!
Because he found that these workers who suffered from auditory hallucinations were quite healthy mentally, and there were no hidden symptoms lurking or breaking out!
Except for saying that I heard a strange sound, rustling, everything is quite normal!
And every time they tried to persuade and treat them, but they heard nothing at all, the workers who were calm at first would explode and roar.
"Did I hear it? Don't I know it?!"
"I'm not sick!!"
Hearing these roars, old man Li Yunshan and other archaeological experts became even more confused!
sound?
What exactly is that sound?
What did they hear?
To be so frightened?
Old man Li Yunshan was extremely confused. In the next period of time, he found an old expert and professor friend of his in psychology for help.
But after he arrived, the results were almost the same.
"It's really weird. I have never seen anything like this in all these years."
"Based on the data, they should be mentally healthy and should not have auditory hallucinations."
Outside the ward, the old psychology professor pressed his eyebrows helplessly, "But the performance doesn't seem to be the case."
Facing his old friend's answer, old man Li Yunshan smiled helplessly.
"However, I did ask them what they heard, even if it was only a few words."
"It helped a lot!"
Hearing this, old man Li Yunshan quickly took out the recording pen and listened carefully.
The records in the voice recorder are very messy, and the descriptions of several workers are also extremely messy, and most of them are different, with only a few syllables being similar.
This syllable is not too close to contemporary Mandarin, and the tone is slightly lower, a bit like Chaozhou or Hakka.
But the strange thing is that these workers are all from the north and do not understand the dialects of these places at all.
With no choice, old man Li Yunshan had no choice but to contact his friend again. Finally, a few days later, two sentences were translated in front of him!
But when old man Li Yunshan saw these two sentences, he was even more stunned!
【.Finished writing.】
【I finally wrote it】
Seeing these two sentences, old man Li Yunshan was stunned on the spot.
What does it mean?
On the other side of the video call, his old friend shrugged helplessly: "I don't know what it means, but if you judge it based on the intonation of Hakka and Teochew dialect."
"That's what it means."
That's what I mean.
Looking at these two strange words in his hand, old man Li Yunshan was completely confused!
What is buried under the Qilian Mountains?
Ancient books and unofficial histories record that there are buildings built here during the grand ceremony of the First Emperor's accession to the throne. There are jade slips from the First Emperor's accession to the throne in the rivers in the mountains, and the rivers are filled with pottery equipment from the Qin Dynasty.
And in the underground river, there are also strange words and unexplained carvings!
And now, there is such a weird quote! ?
"Could it really be an illusion?"
"Or maybe I was really too tired and misheard, and just misunderstood some rustling sounds as words?"
Old man Li Yunshan and a group of archaeologists were extremely puzzled. After thinking for a long time, they could not come up with any clues. In the end, they had no choice but to return to the Qilian Mountains and continue the search.
But because of this incident, the interest of many archaeologists in the Qilian Mountains has not diminished but increased. Countless people are waiting nervously and expecting to see what is underneath the Qilian Mountains. !
After returning to Qilian Mountain, old man Li Yunshan accelerated the excavation process again!
Many members of the excavation engineering team were a little panicked, but in the end they continued the excavation work.
However, what Old Man Li Yunshan didn't expect was that as time went by and the digging became deeper, there seemed to be more and more weird incidents in the entire Qilian Mountains!
In particular, the frequency of various noisy and chaotic sounds has obviously increased greatly!
Especially during heavy rain and thunder, the probability of such chaotic sounds is several times higher!
More and more people are hearing this weird sound, and more and more people are awakened from their sleep by the rustling sound while sleeping!
Even at the end, many workers started to go on strike!
"No more digging!"
"There are gods under this mountain!"
"I seemed to hear someone talking to me!"
"Yes, me too, it's so weird, it sounds like someone is whispering, and that sound is right next to my ear!"
Along with various comments, rumors are flying!
It has only been a few days, but the already panicked engineering team members have become increasingly hesitant!
However, there are also many people in the engineering team who have never heard such words. They are staunch materialists. They are completely skeptical about all this and do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods at all.
They continued the work at hand and wanted to see what was down there as soon as possible.
As time goes by, more and more strange auditory hallucinations occur.
Nearly a hundred people in the entire large engineering team have heard this strange sound. They were all trembling with fear and squatted in the base without daring to come out. Even if old man Li Yunshan invited a large number of psychology experts, All to no avail.
Even in the end, even old man Li Yunshan and a group of old archaeologists were personally touched.
They armed themselves with instruments, took the lead, jumped into the excavation pit, rushed to the front line, and took the lead in various excavation works!
But even so, the work progress is extremely slow.
Even after arriving, the auditory hallucinations became more and more obvious in the ears of many engineering staff!
It seemed that some people were wailing and howling crazily, muttering some unexplained words in their mouths.
".I finished."
"This is the Emperor's Sutra."
"Every family has one furnace."
"Finally. It's time to finish."
The murmured words were extremely confusing, echoing in my ears!
They all went to look for old man Li Yunshan and others, wanting to know what all this was.
But after hearing these words, old man Li Yunshan became even more confused!
The most important thing is that they have no idea what is buried underground!
I can only tell everyone everything I know.
While telling everyone all this, old man Li Yunshan also had some doubts in his heart!
Is there really such a sound?
So why have they never heard this sound?
Or do we hear it but don’t pay attention?
An unknown strange feeling lingered around him. Old man Li Yunshan and others shook their heads, moved forward to throw this thought out of their heads, and continued digging.
With the continuous excavation in the Qilian Mountains, such a huge project has naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Many reporters and self-media in surrounding municipal areas were aware of what was happening in the Qilian Mountains.
They came forward cautiously and found that from a distance, they could see huge machinery working on the mountain, and the roar of the machinery was deafening.
After careful inquiry, I learned that large ancient ruins were suspected to have been discovered in the Qilian Mountains!
In order to excavate this relic, they even did not hesitate to dig up the mountain!
"It's not that easy to dig out things in these deep mountains and forests!"
"With so much equipment mobilized here, it looks like there must be big news!!"
As soon as the news here was released, countless reporters and media came to hear the news!
However, in the face of everyone's desire to interview, whether it is the engineering team or old man Li Yunshan, who has this idea?
They all put all their attention on the excavation.
After there were more reporters and media, they directly blocked all the roads coming!
Keep digging.
A huge engineering team was rapidly digging all over the ancient Qilian Mountains.
As they dug, many strange things happened again.
Various broken cultural relics and ruins have been unearthed one after another.
The scale of excavations is also getting larger and larger.
Some large-scale clay vessels were gradually excavated, full of the flavor of life.
It is worth noting that many of these vessels are engraved with various small characters. After careful identification, they seem to come from Legalism, one of the hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period.
Even inside, a pottery bowl with the inscription 'Li Si' was found!
"Li Si?! Legalist?!"
Seeing this, many archaeologists have more doubts in their hearts! !
What is going on here?
Why do Li Si’s things appear here?
You must know that when Qin Wangzheng came to the throne, Li Si was just a small retainer under Lu Buwei, right?
Why does it appear in Qilian Mountains?
Isn't this what King Qin Yingzheng ordered to build when he came to the throne?
"And there's also Legalism?"
"Why are there Legalists here?"
"Did the half of the jade found earlier be left behind by someone from the Legalist family?"
"During this period, didn't Legalists have a very high status? Why do they appear here?"
As cultural relics with a rich flavor of life are unearthed, everything on the Qilian Mountains begins to become more and more confusing!
But no matter how confusing it is, we still have to keep digging!
Later, many archaeologists gradually dug up all kinds of weird things in the mountains!
The weirdest thing among them is a thick stone tablet.
This stone tablet is square, about one meter wide and two meters high, and it is filled with dense words!
After Old Man Li Yunshan carefully identified it, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Because everything recorded on this stone tablet seems to be some confusing words!
"I can't write it. No matter how much I think about it, I can't write it!"
"Can anyone tell me how to write the king's order?"
"One day, two days, three days! A hundred days have passed, but there is still no clue!"
"Why did it fail? Why was there chaos? This shouldn't be the case!"
"This is the magic of immortality, hee hee! I became an immortal, and so did he!"
"Hey! I wrote it, haha, I wrote it!"
A piece of chaotic words, recorded on the ancient stone wall!
But when old man Li Yunshan said the words recorded on the stone tablet, many members of the engineering team who were surrounding him were immediately dumbfounded!
"etc!"
"These words seem very similar to the voices echoing in our ears!"
"What?!"
"It's really similar!"
One by one, the workers came forward and looked at the words of the stone tablet translated by the old man Li Yunshan and others, and their pupils shrank for a while!
Although the discourse of two thousand years ago is very different from the discourse of today, the details of the pitch and pitch of some syllables are still quite similar!
After carefully comparing the audio tracks, old man Li Yunshan and others also had their pupils contracted, which was extremely scary! !
This is
what's the situation?
Are there really auditory hallucinations? !
I thought that the two sentences translated in the hospital might not be true, but now it seems
It doesn’t seem to be fake! !
Is the world really haunted? !
What is buried under this ancient mountain!
Not only did Legalism appear, but there were even such weird written records? Almost identical to those in the underground rivers!
Many archaeologists frowned!
The most important thing is what are these sounds about?
Is it too tired, or is it caused by the smell in the mountains?
Or is it like the ghost of the Forbidden City, or the echo of ancient trees abroad, recorded by some specific natural phenomena in the ground, causing this weird situation every time there is a thunder?
Old man Li Yunshan frowned.
Does it leave a natural sound?
But it’s too wrong, right?
But in the end, Old Man Li Yunshan and the others could not figure out the reason. They could only shake their heads and continue digging.
In fact, all these things, whether it is the confusing underground rivers or the auditory hallucinations that permeate the surroundings, are all derived from the aura left behind when the Legalists compiled the Human Emperor Sutra.
Because the national destiny used by Yingzheng was too huge, part of the aura from thousands of years ago was covered in it, and it was preserved in the long practice.
Neither Ying Zheng nor old man Li Yunshan knew anything about all this.
Especially in modern times where old man Li Yunshan and others are in charge, they have no clue about all this.
It’s just that there are more and more doubts in my heart.
As time goes by, the excavation project progresses little by little, and the entire huge Qilian Mountains are also being excavated inch by inch.
And as old man Li Yunshan continued to dig, a long time passed quietly.
In the blink of an eye, it was two months.
During this period of time, old man Li Yunshan almost suffered unprecedented pressure. He spent day and night calculating the time until he was about to break ground, and his eyes were red.
And I don’t know how long this kind of day lasted.
Finally one day.
Following a violent collapse, a broken cave finally appeared on the thick mountain!
"Dig it up, dig it up!!"
Seeing all this, almost all the staff were in high spirits!
Through this broken hole, everyone looked down from above, and they seemed to be able to see a wide cave inside the broken hole!
And around the cave, there seem to be various patterns carved on it. Although they are a bit blurry and cannot be seen clearly, just by looking at them, it seems that you can feel an ancient breath coming to your face!
"There really is something!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Finally unearthed!"
Everyone said excitedly, and old man Li Yunshan and other archaeologists ran over immediately, looking excited and excited to the extreme!
However, under the excitement, they did not lose their minds and went in to destroy the cultural relics so hastily. Instead, they immediately used the camera to reach in and observe everything.
The screen keeps shaking.
Old man Li Yunshan and many members of the engineering team all held their breath and stared at the screen.
When the picture gradually became clear, almost everyone's pupils shrank for a while!
Because in that picture, this wide cave is full of collapsed rubble and broken traces.
Like a ruin, random clutter piled together.
In the center of the ruins, there was a building that had not yet collapsed.
It seemed to be a small tower, only a few meters high, standing in the center of the messy rubble.
At the top of this small tower, there seems to be a golden plaque hanging on it slightly crookedly, with three large characters written in flying colors.
"Yubi Pavilion?"
Looking at the small pagoda standing in the ruins of the cave, almost everyone's pupils shrank!
A small tower built underground? !
Yubi Pavilion?
What's happening here? !
