Chapter 881: Forest Ghost Path
Lin Ran and his group had strange expressions. Even if they didn't believe in ghosts and gods, they would inevitably be startled when they heard such a strange story.
Zhao Lijie recalled this past event very clearly and was particularly impressed.
"Later on, the archaeological team never mentioned the ancient tomb again and planned to leave it to future generations to solve." Zhao Lijie said.
"Are you sure they died in an accident?" Lin Ran felt something was wrong.
If what Zhao Lijie said was not intentional to scare them, there would indeed be many doubts about this matter.
Wang Jinpeng also smiled and said: "We have visited many ancient tombs and seen a lot of weird things, but we haven't seen a real ghost yet, so none of you want to try your luck?"
"You think everyone is as bold as you." Huang Hao rolled his eyes at him, and at this moment he stood up to ruin the atmosphere.
But Zhao Lijie did not take it as a joke, but replied tremblingly: "No, since the accident of the archaeological team, the bureau decided to temporarily seal up the ancient tomb, and this forest is too evil, and the nearby villagers do not dare to Enter rashly.”
Then he looked at Lin Ran and said, "That's why I asked you to hire a local hunter. The hunter will tell you where to go. Because you outsiders don't know how to live and die, so you wander around everywhere."
"Brother, even though you said so, you still followed us in. Isn't this a way to die?" Wang Jinpeng joked, because Zhao Lijie's words were full of fear, but he still followed the large army to explore the woods. .
"I was not deceived by you." Zhao Lijie said, "I was so frightened by you that I lost my mind."
Moreover, the new director said that the new Tufu team was particularly powerful.
The few people looked ordinary, but the young man who took the lead had sharp eyes, and he immediately saw the mystery in the beast's head.
As for the other people, except for the guys with great skills, the rest of them are not like good people.
He just made up his mind to follow them to the ancient tomb. His only wish now is to leave safely.
At this time, Hong Wu suddenly said: "Why do I feel like there is a deathly energy surrounding us?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Lao Hei immediately interrupted him and continued.
The morale of the entire team is not high. If we don't cheer everyone up, they will retreat after a while.
Lin Ran also felt nervous and said quickly: "If you have anything to say, just finish it quickly. Anyway, we have heard so many horror stories, not more than this one."
Hong Wu glanced at Lao Hei, but he didn't speak.
Then he sighed and said, "I didn't have the chance to tell you before, but my grandfather is actually a dharma practitioner."
"But he is not engaged in the job of helping people with funerals, but calling in spirits. The so-called spirit calling is a saying in rural areas. On the first seven days after a person dies, the person's soul is summoned with a dustpan and rice. Come back to achieve the purpose of returning to one’s roots after falling leaves.”
Lin Ran had read about similar customs in a folklore book. It was rare in northern cities, but rather similar to the customs in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wang Jinpeng interrupted: "Is there such a thing? Then why didn't you just call the queen's soul in the tomb last time? We don't need to take so many risks."
From the bottom of his heart, he looked down upon these feudal superstitions.
Hong Wu didn't pay attention, but continued: "Grandpa told me at that time that when a person is about to die, there will be a breath of death in his body, which will only be emitted after death. And I have worked with my grandfather since I was a child, and I have a strong sense of death. I’m very sensitive to smells and the smell is everywhere here.”
As he spoke, his face darkened, and he cast a look for help at Lao Hei, as if hoping to leave quickly.
Everyone's pace slowed down, and after listening to the two stories, they also felt a shuddering feeling.
Even before we reach the ancient tomb, we are already scared off by the story.
Lin Ran felt a little angry, but risk aversion is a psychology that everyone has.
In this era, there are stories about strange powers and gods circulating everywhere.
However, after the advent of smart phones, these legends seemed to disappear and would not be recorded by cameras at all.
Especially the soul-searching anchors, they do whatever it takes for traffic, and have been to all the dangerous places in China.
In the past, he often watched similar live broadcasts. In order to heighten the atmosphere, the anchor would also tell some mysterious and mysterious stories as a foreshadowing.
The result was not the same. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, we spent night after night without incident.
Therefore, Lin Ran concluded that this legend was also false.
Besides...the words "treasure hunt party" flashed in his mind.
The death of the archaeological team members may not be caused by ghosts and gods, but by killing people to prevent the secrets from being leaked.
Of course, Lin Ran is a person who talks about evidence, so this idea only appeared in his mind and was not put forward.
He then remembered something: "Ma Rubin didn't come with us, was it because he was afraid of the legend?"
He vaguely remembered that Ma Rubin was not a guy who was afraid of death and had a disdainful attitude toward legends.
"Originally, he asked me not to say anything, but now that I have become acquainted with you guys, I will tell you." Zhao Lijie cleared his throat: "Actually, Director Ma is now a criminal and cannot show his face."
"What?" Lin Ran was a little confused. Hasn't Ma Rubin been promoted to deputy director of the local Archeology Bureau?Why have you become a guilty person again?
"Think about it, not long after he arrived, so many lives were lost in the archaeological team. Of course he had to be suspended for inspection." Zhao Lijie continued, "And he kept shouting that it was murder. You know, the family members settled the case as an accident. He It’s not like this.”
"So, Director Zheng could only suspend him to investigate. But when he was suspended, he went to find his family members to investigate the accidental death privately. Director Zheng was so angry that if he was caught, he would have to be transferred back to the capital."
Finally, there was a story that wasn't a supernatural story, and Lin Ran felt a little fond of Ma Rubin.
He is indeed a straight-tempered person, but has a great sense of justice.
But Lin Ran discovered a loophole in the story.
"Since he has been suspended, what do you mean by helping him steal the animal head?"
Zhao Lijie suddenly hesitated.
When Guan Yun saw this, he immediately pushed him to the ground.
Because Lin Ran told him that their opponent this time was Neon's treasure hunt party.
As a soldier, what Guan Yun hates the most is the Neon Japs. Naturally, he will not forgive anyone who helps the Neon Japs. He will be merciless in his actions.
"Ouch, it hurts..." Zhao Lijie, who was pinned down, shouted loudly, "Grandpa, I said it's not okay. In fact, he caught me and I had to help him..."
"What excuse?" Lin Ran asked doubtfully, so that he could ignore his own life.
