The note Lao Ding drew said it was-

Lao Ding, late at night, was drinking water in the lake.

I looked at it, tore them apart and threw them away.

After I returned to the tent, it was dark inside, and I didn’t know whether the juice was. Meng Xiaoshuai and Guo Mei were asleep and no one was talking.

I lay down quietly.

Ma Ran has never come back, and I feel that he is in danger.

Looking back, I had dealt with ancient tombs, and it was also in the northwest region, but that was Yan'an.

In 2007, I went to all parts of the country to collect folk songs. On November 11, I held a press conference at Sina headquarters and then set out to Yan'an.

Before that, I received a letter from a reader who said-

Teacher Zhou, my name is Liu Mingjiu, and I am currently studying at Yan'an University.

I am from Mengou Village, Yanchang County, northern Shaanxi. I grew up in a cave. The barren mountains around our house are ancient tombs from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties. When I was a child, I often heard about the days of lightning and thunder. The sound of soldiers fighting, the neighing of war horses, and the collision of weapons would be heard from those barren mountains and ridges... However, I have never experienced it myself, and I don’t believe it very much.

I don’t know when the poor villagers discovered that there was a treasure underground, so they robbed tombs frantically with iron cones, Luoyang shovels, crowbars, ropes.

Not long ago, the police from the Baota Branch of Yan'an Public Security Bureau arrested 25 people. You can find this news online.

In addition to rich cultural relics knowledge and experience, these tomb robbers also made detailed "Ancient Tomb Site Distribution Manual", and some sites were even accurate to "50 meters south of a certain village".

Even though people were caught, tomb robbers were still rampant. Now, the mountains around my house are covered with holes and devastated. Countless tomb holes are shocking, with broken pottery pieces everywhere, and corpses from two thousand years ago.

A farmer not far from my family, he got a road map of the ancient tomb from somewhere, which also contained a list of burial objects. The most attractive thing is a Crouching Tiger tomb-Stopping beast, and 180 bronze figurines, which are priceless.

According to the illustration, he took his aunt to find the ancient tomb on the North Mountain and found that it had been excavated. He went in to visit him and never came out again.

There is also a farmer in the same village who doesn’t believe in evil and is eager to make money. He takes his cousin to the mysterious ancient tomb. After he gets in, he also goes but goes back.

I didn't expect that this horrible incident would affect my family. Half a month ago, my second father secretly climbed to Beishan with a lucky heart, carrying ropes, candles, and glutinous rice (anti-corpse poison). His second mother advised him that he would not listen. He thought that the two people had been poisoned, and now the tomb has been dug for more than 30 days, and the poison must have been dissipated. As a result, he did not crawl out of the tomb.

After my second father had an accident, I went home. Everyone in the nearby village was telling this terrifying tomb cave, and tied a white cloth to the tree next to it to warn everyone not to get close.

When someone passed by Beishan in the middle of the night, he saw smoke coming out of the tomb caves, and shadows with long robes and jackets, carrying paper lanterns, appearing and disappearing in the wilderness...

I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I didn't believe it.

Three days ago, the night before I left the village, I was awakened by the strong wind in my dream. When I saw a paper lantern shaking outside the window, I sat up and shouted: "Who!"

A strange voice came from outside the window: "On the mountain."

I said in surprise: "There is no one on the mountain."

The other party said, "Everyone is underground! You have come up and many people are visiting us, so we also come down and take a walk. We should walk more on the mountain and down the mountain."

The more I thought about it, the more wrong I got, put on my clothes and chased me out with a sheep shovel, but there was no one there, only a person's leg bone on the ground...

I saw on the Internet that you are going to various places to collect clues from readers. I hope you can come to Yan'an (you can live at my home). I believe that the people in the village will tell you more!

Student: Liu Mingjiu.

...

So, I came to Yan'an. At that time, we added 5 drivers in total.

On the third night, we arrived in Yan'an and moved into Shiyao Hotel. We were getting closer and closer to the terrifying Beishan, the man-eating tomb chamber, and those strange legends.

After dinner in the evening, I asked Monsoon: "Are you afraid?"

She said: "Not afraid, it feels like visiting an ancient family."

The word "came to visit" made me feel a little chilled.

The next day, we continued to drive north.

In Yanchang County, due to a collision between a train and a car, we did not enter Liqu Town until dark. We looked for a hotel and kept the others. Ji Feng and I took a car into the mountains.

On the dirt road, the car began to bump.

The surroundings are dark and rolling barren mountains. Some places are exposed with barren loess, and some places suddenly appear with clumps of black plants, which look scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar-scar

After turning a corner, the car suddenly put out the fire, and the world suddenly became quiet.

I said, "Monsoon, look, there is a family there!"

After watching for a long time, Ji Feng finally caught the weak light. She asked calmly: "Is that someone else?"

I pulled open the car door and a cold wind gushed in. I said, "Let's go, let's go and ask about the way."

She jumped out of the car, looked around alertly, then walked up and grabbed my hand.

It was very cold, and I was wearing a military green cotton jacket, and she was only wearing a sweater. Ten layers of singles were not as good as a layer of cotton. However, she grabbed my hand not because it was cold, but because she was afraid.

We approached the family next to the mountain road. A short house was dilapidated, with the window blocking glass and plastic, and a faint light was revealed. I had lived in Shaanxi for 7 years. I knocked on the door and asked loudly in my half-baked Shaanxi accent: "Master, how do you get to Mengou Village?"

The door creaked open, and a woman showed her head, looked at us alertly, and closed the door again. She cried again, but she stopped opening it.

The driver had already started the car, so we returned to the car and continued to drive towards the mountains.

Monsoon kept watching the window quietly. In fact, it was pitch black outside and could not see anything.

Our car drove along the uneven mountain road for more than half an hour. In the pale headlights in front, a living person finally appeared. He was crawling up the mountain with his limbs on all sides, very fast.

Ji Feng said blankly: "Is that a human or an orangutan..."

When the headlights shone on the person's butt, he stood up straight and became a normal person.

Although the mountain road was steep, it would never be crawling.

I asked the driver to stop the car, then opened the window, and shouted tentatively: "Master!"

He looked at us. The man was about 30 years old, with a fair face, two round eyes, a sharp nose, a small mouth, and a mess around him.

I said, "How do you get to Mengou Village?"

He spoke a strong local accent and said something. It seemed that I couldn't understand him, nor did he understand me.

Ji Feng took out the paper and pen and handed it to me. I immediately wrote down the three words "Mengou Village" neatly, raised it up, illuminated it with a flashlight, and showed it to him.

He seemed to be unable to read.

Monsoon reacted quickly. She took out some books on the tombs we bought from her travel bag and handed them to me. There were many pictures of the tombs on it.

I took it and pointed to a picture of the ancient tomb above.

His eyes immediately became alert. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his arms and drew around, which meant that the mountains around him were filled with ancient tombs.

I looked back at Monsoon and whispered: "I want to tell him to lead the way. This is too complicated. What else do you have to do?"

Monsoon thought for a while and said, "Money."

I took out a 50 yuan RMB from my pocket and said to him: "Please help us lead the way, thank you!"

This man didn't pick up my money, but he got into the car. Under his guidance, we slowly drove up the mountain.

I was always a little wary of this person, and the crawling posture he had just left a shadow in my heart.

Finally stopped, and Monsoon and I each took a flashlight and jumped down.

The mountain is even colder. The grass is growing on both sides of the dirt road, and some unknown short trees grow sparsely, leaving only dry branches. There is a smell of paper ash around it.

Where is the ancient tomb?

I approached the local man and asked him to take us to find him. He couldn't understand.

I took his rough hand and walked into the grass beside him, and he shook it away. This swing made me feel the strength of a farmer. There was no doubt that he understood what I meant. With the light of the headlight, I found a terrifying light shot out from his eyes. Then, he waved his hands repeatedly, muttered local words, and strongly rejected my request, as if there was something to do with stepping into the grass beside him.

There was no way, Ji Feng and I walked into the grass, and there was a black tomb hole covered with dense weeds, which looked like a trap, and would fall down accidentally.

I shone it inward with a flashlight, and it looked like a well. There was an incomplete clay pot on the loess at the bottom of the tomb.

Continue walking forward, I found a tomb hole in three steps and a corpse in five steps, which is gloomy and terrifying.

Despite this, I still don’t understand the reaction of the local man just now. Logically speaking, he has lived in this area since he was a child and should be numb to these ancient tombs. Why are he still so scared?

I held Ji Feng's hand tightly, for fear that she would fall into a tomb hole with one foot. We didn't have a shovel. If someone fell into it, it would cause a landslide and it would be too late to rescue it, and it would be buried alive.

We walked slowly on the ancient tomb and never found the tree with white cloth tied as Liu Mingjiu said.

I turned around and said to Monsoon, "Are you scared now?"

She smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, it's really like I'm here to be a guest. But it's just that it's too quiet and no one receives us."

Before she finished speaking, a sharp and weird voice suddenly sounded in the wilderness: "It's all underground!!!"

Ji Feng screamed in fear, and I shook a moment, instinctively raised the flashlight and shone it on the face of the person in front of me-skinned, with two round eyes, sharp nose, small mouth, and messy beards around me-it was the local!
