While I was taking off my diving suit in an attempt to regain my strength as soon as possible, I asked the fat man what they had speculated after they had been here for so long.

He shook his head: "I think the most reliable guess is that we are all dead, and it is our ghosts who penetrated the rock and entered this cave."

I smiled bitterly. I understood what he meant. He didn't really think that we were all dead. What he wanted to say was that other speculations were even less reliable than this one. This was something without cause and effect. Speculation requires clues, but there are no clues now, so everything can only be assumed.

The fat man said: "If the purpose of that mischief is not to kill us, then no matter what happens next, we will not die! If we want to kill, why bother to change places?"

I smiled bitterly and refused to die, so what was going on? Could a big man suddenly appear here and rape us? I shook my head and said: "There is no inevitable relationship. Being alive now may not be a good thing. Aren't you just trying to be fresh by eating drunken shrimp?"

The fat man took a breath, thinking that it was really creepy, and became a little depressed, and cursed: "I hate this kind of intangible and incomprehensible things! Do you think the three of us are incompatible with each other? How can we meet together? You always go to this kind of brothel? You are really a devil! And that Agui really doesn’t know anything, otherwise you can be more careful if you have some tips."

I frowned secretly. The fat man was right. The reason why we have no clue about this matter and even no way to speculate is because of this. The current situation happened inexplicably. From what we know, there must be something special missing. Crucial stuff.

The investigation started in the village and evolved bit by bit. All the information was brought out by the information from the higher level. Now we know that the source of the iron block is those iron figurines, we know that Wen Jin came to this lakeside, and we have also determined the archaeological The team was tricked and learned some secrets of Huxia Ancient Village. Although some of the clues have not been completely connected, such as what are these iron figurines, but as long as the investigation continues, I believe everything will be solved. Connect together.

But what is happening here and the current predicament has nothing to do with this information. In other words, among the various clues we learned in the village, one piece is completely missing.

Where did I miss it?

When I asked Fatty about his speculation just now, I found that it was impossible to speculate on this matter, and there were no factors that could be corroborated by bad news. Thinking about this, I said to him and Menyouping: "We should sort out everything we know from the beginning. There must be a connection between this place and this whole thing. If we list it out from the beginning, maybe we can find some hints."

The fat man blew and pointed at the ground, where there were traces of stone carvings on it, "I've done it before, but I really can't think of it. It doesn't matter if you want to do it. You've read a lot, so you should be better than me. I can do it. My head hurt afterward!”

I looked at those words. It was his special enumeration method. He wrote down all the possibilities, including all the clues, and then drew circles there to find the connections.

I said: "This time is different from what I have encountered before. All the messages are fragments. If you write like this, it will only become more and more confusing. I will sort it out first, and then we will start with a concept and see if we can build it up like building blocks. Draw out the entire line.

"

I picked up a stone and wrote a few keywords on another piece of ground. Starting from entering the village, the things discovered one after another are all connected with the subsequent parts.

〖Iron pieces - fragments of iron warriors - the village at the bottom of the lake - I don't know what it is used for - everywhere - seems to be dangerous - emitting a strange smell

Photo - burned

Panma's statement - the archaeological team was transferred - the body was found - the iron pieces were salvaged - the purpose?

Underwater ancient village - Han-style ancient buildings - underground passages - a large number of iron figurines - jade mines?

Closed mine - iron figurines - the same chisel marks

A, B - stinging - coma

C - suffocation - coma〗

After you finish writing, cross out all the things that have been determined, and the form will become:

〖I don’t know what it is used for - it seems dangerous - it emits a strange smell - its purpose?

——A large number of iron figurines——Jade mine?

Closed mine - iron figurines - the same chisel marks

A, B - stinging - coma

C - suffocation - coma〗

In this way, everything we can and cannot be certain about is listed.

Then, we began to connect some of the factors and said: "First of all, let's confirm that the owner of the Han-style ancient building in the ancient village is named Zhang, and temporarily call him the owner of the Zhang family building." I glanced at Menyou Ping, " This person has military merit and is a master of traditional Chinese studies. He may be a local warlord, or of course he may have other backgrounds, which has nothing to do with the core of the matter."

"In a certain month of a certain year, this person named Zhang's landlord, for some reason - again, we don't need to know this reason - discovered that there was a jade mine under the village. Under the temptation of huge interest, he teamed up with The Yao king here forced him to dig, and built a strong Han-style building in the Yao village for his men to use. The building is so strong, it is obvious that they have been digging here for a very long time, and they may prepare to continue it for several generations. "

"The cave we are in now, judging from the digging marks, should be the mine they dug, at least one of them."

After I finished speaking, I looked at the fat man and asked him if he had anything to add. He shook his head, and I said: "Okay, everything is normal up to this point, and it is in line with common sense, but this is contradictory to our current situation. Obviously, the mine we are currently in is completely closed, so I can say this , something happened in the time between everything being normal and the current situation, causing the mine to undergo inexplicable changes."

The fat man nodded and said, "Don't be so polite. Damn it, something happened after this hole."

This part is the initial hypothesis, and it is relatively certain. I wrote it down as a starting point, and then drew a question mark on the side, "What happened here? It will definitely not be a sudden closure, because if so, someone will be trapped." die."

"No, if you think about it, we came in for no reason. They might have found a way out later," the fat man said.

I shook my head. What kind of cultural quality did the miners have in those days? Can they think of a way, but I can't? And even if they could think of it, it wouldn't be too fast. Judging from the tools and physical strength they had at the time, they should have the idea of ​​"smashing" it out first, leaving a lot of gravel marks on the ground.

However, since I was not there at the time, I couldn't make a firm conclusion, so I didn't refute the fat man. We bit our lips and began to think of various hypotheses.

Before he even thought about it, Menyou Ping opened his mouth and said calmly: "The statue in the mine is the Thunder King God of the Yao people. It is a fierce god. It is generally not worshiped in public unless something terrible has happened."

We were all stunned for a moment, and the fat man said: "Damn it! How do you understand this thing?"

Menyouping did not answer, but continued: "The fact that this thing is inside shows that the thing did not happen suddenly, and after it happened, a stone statue could be brought from outside to worship here, which means that although this thing is terrible, it will not bring them so much pain. Scared away.”

I thought about it and thought it made sense: "The establishment of the statue shows that they want to continue digging, so why use this statue to suppress it? Although the thing is terrible, it is just a psychological panic and has not threatened life safety. We think Think about it, if we were miners, under what circumstances would we do this?"

The fat man took a breath: "Why does this sound so familiar? Could it be that they dug something unlucky here?"

I also nodded, as if the same idea came to my mind at the same time. I often heard rumors like this in my hometown. Some factory started construction, but when the foundation was dug, the bones of dead people buried in mass burials were dug up, and they were set up as a Guan Gong town.

"This is a rock formation. What can you dig in such a bullshit place?" The fat man asked, "Is it the fossil of Tyrannosaurus rex?" After saying that, he sighed, obviously feeling that his statement was quite possible, "You think, they dug While digging, I suddenly found such a prehistoric monster. I must have been frightened half to death, thinking I had dug up the bones of a monster."

I patted him and said, "Comrade, read more when you have time. The age of dinosaur fossils is hundreds of millions of years different from the age of jade. Dinosaur fossils dug up here are like KFC family buckets."

"Then what do you mean?" the fat man said unconvinced.

We all shook our heads after thinking about it. In fact, we couldn't even think about it. What could exist in this kind of rock vein that was both reasonable and unlucky for them? I really can't think of it. The only thing that can reasonably exist here is a stone. Is it a stone that they feel is unlucky? If it is unreasonable, then anything is possible.

The fat man walked up to the statue and asked Menyouping: "Brother, how vicious is this Tired King God? Is he a ghost hunter like our Zhong Kui?"

Menyou Ping shook his head: "Thunder King specializes in restraining evil gods."

Yao Miao mythology is different from that of the Han people. Many of the evil things in them are gods, and they can be equal to the gods of justice. Ordinary gods cannot do anything to them.

The fat man clicked his tongue: "In other words, Zhong Kui is just a police officer, and this Lei Wang is the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission." He found two thin sticks of firewood in the bonfire on one side, inserted them into the incense burner, and bowed, "Secretary Lei, I'm sorry. , the brothers were blind before, and never recognized you. This thing is not very formal, but it is still a formality. Just treat it as a white note. If we can go out, the brothers must replenish the sesame oil. I know You are engaged in the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and it is inconvenient to collect many things. Please tell me your wife's phone number later, and we will contact your wife..."

I thought to myself that this guy was too unreliable, and said: "You are not from Yao, how could someone bless you? Don't waste your firewood. Besides, only superiors give free notes to subordinates, how can subordinates give free notes to superiors?" "

The fat man said: "What the hell do you know! You pay taxes in Hangzhou, but you don't pay taxes when you go to Beijing? I don't call it a white note, it calls it an option. Let's say hello first, it's better to regret it later."

As he said this, he turned around. Unexpectedly, the thin wood was top-heavy and caused the incense burner to fall down. The root became warped and all the ashes came out.

The fat man immediately turned around to support me, and I smiled and said, "Look, I'm an upright and honest person, and I won't accept it."

The fat man clicked his tongue again, broke the fine wood in half, inserted it again, and then wiped the spilled incense ash evenly with his feet. He wiped it a few times. As the incense ashes were spread, I suddenly saw the rock surface under his feet. On the screen, some strange lines appear.
