Chapter 714

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at Tan Song.

"In ancient times, in order to prevent tomb robbers, many things in tombs would be coated with poison."

"And the air in the tomb is not circulated. Over time, many viruses and molds will be born, and many special toxins will be produced."

"There are a lot of poisonous bacteria on this stone sculpture. Let's deal with it finally."

Tan Song nodded, "Then do you want to go to that house and have a look? If possible, save it?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he heard his cell phone ringing.

Jiang Yuan frowned when he saw that it was Long Yiming's call.

"Hello?"

"Jiang Yuan, where are you now?"

"I'm in Jiangdu."

Long Yiming said 'hmm', "That's just right."

"Do you have time?"

Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "What's going on?"

"We got a piece of news from Luo Tianyang. Six months ago, he heard his captors leak that there was a village called Huangliang Village under Jiangdu, which concealed an experimental site that had been abandoned for many years."

"I have sent a Dragon Guard team from Jiangdu over, but just two hours ago, we lost contact with the Dragon Guard team."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "I know, I'll go over and take a look now."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan heard Tan Song say: "What a coincidence, this stone statue was bought in Huangliang Village."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Let's go, take me there."

Two hours later, the car drove through a long and rugged mountain road and entered a small village with beautiful scenery.

Jiang Yuan and the other two did not have time to look at the scenery, but ran directly to the house Tan Song mentioned.

This is a dilapidated farmyard. The yard is muddy and damp, and a few hens are rummaging around for bugs to eat.

A middle-aged peasant woman with a sallow complexion and a haggard look was chopping firewood for cooking. When she saw Jiang Yuan and Tan Song walking into the yard, she immediately stood up.

"Auntie, do you still remember me?" Tan Song smiled, "It's me, the one who bought the stone statue some time ago."

The aunt nodded and looked at Tan Song warily, "I've sold the stone lump to you, and I won't refund the money."

Tan Song waved his hand, "I'm not here for this matter."

The aunt then breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why did you come to see me?"

Tan Song smiled and said, "Last time, auntie, didn't you say that your family has been ill for several years?"

Tan Song pointed to Jiang Yuan who was standing next to him, "My brother is a doctor, and we happened to be passing by, so we came to see if we could cure him."

Hearing this, the aunt immediately became excited and said, "Okay, come in with me quickly."

The room was pitch dark. When the aunt pulled the light cord, the light bulb flashed and emitted orange light.

The room is not big, less than twenty square meters, and the transparent tiles between the roof tiles are also covered by fallen leaves, preventing any light from passing through.

The only narrow window was also blocked by debris piled on the windowsill.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "This room is not breathable. Even a normal person will get sick after living here for several years."

When the aunt heard this, she quickly took away the things on the window sill and opened the window.

Jiang Yuan looked at the wooden bed in the room. Behind the blackened mosquito net, a skinny middle-aged man lay weakly on the bed.

Jiang Yuan and Tan Song approached and opened the mosquito net to take a look. Tan Song was frightened and took a few steps back.

Because this middle-aged man is almost losing all his hair, and his shrunken skin is covered with blue, black and gray spots, which looks like mold.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "The bacterial infection is very serious."

Jiang Yuan turned to look at the aunt, "Where did your man find that stone statue?"

The aunt shook her head, "When I got married twenty years ago,

The stone lump was left in the yard, and my husband said that his grandfather moved it back alone."

Tan Song was stunned for a moment, "Such a big stone statue costs at least a thousand or several hundred kilograms. Can one person carry it back?"

The aunt nodded, "I heard from my man that his grandfather had to eat three liters of rice for one meal. He is very strong."

Tan Song looked at the skinny middle-aged man on the bed. Even if he wasn't sick, he was only about 1.6 meters tall. He didn't expect his grandfather to be so strong.

Jiang Yuan frowned, looked at Tan Song and said, "The poison remaining on the stone statue you brought back is no longer serious, so you don't have to worry."

"There is only one explanation for why this man is so serious. He has been to that tomb."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan noticed that the aunt's eyes were a little evasive.

"If you don't want your man to die, you'd better tell everything you know."

The aunt trembled and stammered: "I..."

"My man saw other people building brick houses and wanted to build them too."

"We both farmed and had no money, so he remembered that when he was a child, he heard my father-in-law say that the place where his grandfather found the stone statues contained antiques. One of them would be sold for several hundred dollars."

Jiang Yuan frowned, "Do you know the specific place?"

The aunt nodded, "That place is so weird that no one in the village dares to go there."

Tan Song asked curiously: "Why?"

"Because more than a dozen people have died," the aunt was a little scared. "Three years ago, Uncle Zhang from the village had his cow run away. He went to that place to find the cow, and then he never came out."

"Ten years ago..."

"Okay, you can take us there, we don't need you to follow us!"

The aunt shook her head and said, "You can cure my man and I will take you there, or you can just give me a thousand yuan."

Jiang Yuan's eyes turned cold, "You are really obsessed with money. Your man's life is not as important as money, right?"

The aunt yelled a little aggrievedly, "I've seen several doctors and they all said it can't be cured. What can I do?"

"I know you are not here to treat illnesses, you are here for the antiques in there!"

"I only ask you for a thousand yuan, but it's still less!"

Tan Song also frowned, not expecting this woman to show up suddenly like this.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the man on the bed, "It might be curable in the morning for a few months, but now there is no chance. All the organs, flesh and blood in his body are infected. Killing the germs will also accelerate his death."

."

"He only has less than half a month to live."

Hearing this, Tan Song sighed, took out 10,000 yuan from his bag and threw it into the aunt's arms, "Lead the way!"

The aunt excitedly counted the money, stuffed it into her clothes, and then took Jiang Yuan and Tan Song out of the house.

After going up to the mountain behind her house, the aunt took Jiang Yuan and the two of them to walk along the mountain road for half an hour, and then came to the foot of a roadless mountain.

This mountain is covered with tall cypress trees, which forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding mountains.

When burning firewood in the countryside, cypress branches are often cut down for firewood. Slightly taller cypress trees are also used to build houses, and the excess are sold for money.

Therefore, there are very few tall cypress trees on the mountain.

But on the mountain in front of me, big cypress trees that are about waist thick can be seen everywhere. There are cypress saplings everywhere on the mountain. If you want to go up the mountain, you can only walk through the cypress bushes.

The aunt pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "When you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see a big pit, that's where it is."

After saying that, the aunt turned around and ran away. She didn't know whether she was worried that Jiang Yuan and the others would take back the 10,000 yuan they gave her, or whether she was afraid of the mountain.

Tan Song was also a little scared by what the aunt said.

"Jiang Yuan, do we want to go up the mountain?"

Jiang Yuan has discovered several aura traces on this mountain, all left by extraordinary beings, who should be Jiangdu's Dragon Guard team.

"If you're scared, just go back first," Jiang Yuan patted Tan Song on the shoulder, "You can't help with the rest, so there's no need to follow."

Tan Song knew that following Jiang Yuan wouldn't help him, and might cause trouble to Jiang Yuan, but he was worried that something would happen to Jiang Yuan, after all, Jiang Yuan was not in good condition these days.

"With you here, I have nothing to be afraid of," Tan Song smiled, "Let's come together, I can still talk to you."

Jiang Yuan said nothing more and took Tan Song into the cypress forest.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting dark, and the cypress trees were even darker.

Tan Song's body was scratched by branches, but he did not complain, but gritted his teeth and followed Jiang Yuan's footsteps.

After all, there are cypress trees all around, so you will definitely get lost once it gets dark.

After more than half an hour, Jiang Yuan and Tan Song finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

Sure enough, a large crater like a volcano appeared in front of us, and a row of cypress trees thicker than the waist were neatly arranged on the edge of the crater.

"Are these big cypress trees planted by humans?"

Tan Song was a little surprised, "This is like a volcanic crater. It won't erupt, right?"

"This is not a volcano crater," Jiang Yuan shook his head, "This is a large pit dug by humans. If I guess correctly, the mountain has basically been hollowed out."

Tan Song was stunned for a moment, "How big of a project is this? What is it planned for?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "In ancient times, many tombs were as big as underground palaces. This was nothing."

“After the big pit was dug, the entire mountain was planted with cypress trees, a palace was built with stones in the huge pit, and then the pit was completely buried, leaving only a special passage so that the owner of the tomb could be transported into the tomb after his death.

."

Tan Song pointed to the big hole in front of him, "Then why isn't this place filled?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at the bottom of the pit. There were a lot of messy stones and soil inside, and it was also covered with cypress trees.

"It is estimated that something unexpected happened, so the construction was not completed."

"Let's go down."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan jumped directly.

The pit was now only ten meters high. After Jiang Yuan landed, he pushed down a thigh-thick cypress tree and asked Tan Song to grab the cypress tree and climb down.

"You are such a monster. It would take me a long time to chop down such a big tree with a knife, but you just kicked it in half."

Jiang Yuan said nothing and looked at the ground beneath his feet.

Underfoot is a layer of stone and soil about twenty meters thick, and below that is a palace built of stone, which is very exquisite.

Jiang Yuan quickly found an entrance.

This entrance is under a big rock. The entrance is narrow and you can only crawl in.

After climbing more than ten meters inside, a spiraling downward passage appeared in front of me.

This passage was built with stones. It could be seen that it was built in a hurry, and the walls and ground were not very smooth.

Tan Song walked beside Jiang Yuan, feeling a little scared.

It was pitch dark inside, so Tan Song had no choice but to light a cigarette and use the faint light from the cigarette butt to give himself some light.

I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly a blue-green fluorescence appeared at a corner ahead.

Tan Song trembled and hugged Jiang Yuan's arm.

Jiang Yuan was speechless.

After turning this corner, the stone wall of the passage in front became flat, with clusters of fluorescent hairs on it.

It looks like the white hair growing out of tofu hair.

"Jiang Yuan, what is this?"

"Mold," Jiang Yuan shook his head, "a specific product produced by the environment here."

"Is it poisonous?"

"Well," Jiang Yuan took out the elixir bottle from his arms, poured out a green pill and handed it to Tan Song, "Take it."

Tan Song swallowed the pill and then followed Jiang Yuan and continued walking forward.
