Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 196 SMX's Mystery: The Old Tree's Coffin ([-])

Night falls.

Several blazing fires were lit on both sides of the river at the construction site, and the flames turned the sky red and illuminated the river.At the same time, two searchlights were erected under the river, and the bright lights illuminated the construction site as brightly as day.

The senior leaders of the engineering department must not be able to sleep, and they cannot sleep at night, and they are on site to supervise the progress of the project.

dig!dig!dig!
The roar of machines, excavators, earth moving trucks, and high-arm cranes are constantly flowing.

After a whole day and night of digging, hundreds of workers dug a large hole in the mud below the river.

When the sky was twilight, the scene in the big pit came into people's eyes.

For so long, all kinds of questions that have been lingering in people's minds finally have an answer at this time.

People have guessed that there are all kinds of weird things under the river before, but no one thought that there is a towering tree growing under the river.The leaders present quickly blocked the news and urgently reported it to the higher authorities. If this news spreads, it will have an explosive impact on public opinion not only in China, but also in the whole world.

There is a big tree buried under the ancient Yellow River road? !

And this big tree is luxuriant and full of vitality? !
As we all know, plant growth must need water and sunlight, both are indispensable.There is plenty of water below the river, which is understandable.But this big tree is buried deep under the dark river, without sunshine all year round, how can it still thrive and become so lush?This... This is incredible, and it completely violates the natural science theory of biological development!

This towering tree is five or sixty meters deep below the river, that is to say, this big tree buried under the river is as high as five or sixty meters, and it is estimated that the tree is at least several thousand years old.Moreover, the trunks are extremely thick, and the diameter of the trunks is roughly estimated to be more than ten meters.The blooming branches and leaves are like a huge green canopy, lush and lush.Looking down from the river, this magical big tree is like a giant green umbrella, or a huge green mushroom. The nature is so wonderful that it is completely beyond the normal imagination of people.

Of course, the most surprising thing is not only this towering tree.What's even more weird is that on the branches of this thousand-year-old tree, there are actually hundreds, oh no, thousands of mummified corpses, densely packed, like strange fruits that grow, covering the whole area. tree branch.As soon as the river wind blows, thousands of mummified corpses are swaying in the wind. The scene is indescribably weird and terrifying.

After years of baptism, these mummies have long been weathered, like dehydrated dried meat.The strange thing is that the corpse has not completely rotted into bones, and the surface is still covered with a layer of skin, just like the kind of dried yak meat that hangs.There are two copper bells tied to the ankles of each mummy, one on the left and the other on the right. As the mummy swayed from side to side, those copper bells made a crisp sound of tinkling in the wind. The people here are horrified and feel chills in their hearts.

Witnessing such a horrific scene, the workers were frightened out of their wits.Some thought they had dug up some evil spirits, so they quickly bought yellow paper and kowtowed to the thousand-year-old corpse tree, praying for disaster relief.Others were frightened and fell ill on the spot, with persistent high fever.Some timid workers directly put forward a strike, no matter how high the salary was, they refused to continue working for the rest of their lives.The construction site was in panic, a scene of gloomy clouds and mist.

As a result, the senior leaders of the engineering department had no choice but to stop the project and quietly wait for the order from their superiors.

After digging out the thousand-year-old tree full of corpses, the Taoist priest’s face changed drastically, and he said that it was an ominous omen, and asked the construction team to stop construction and fill in all the soil, and they could not continue to build hydropower stations on the river, otherwise If the words are endless, what terrible things will happen next, even he can't tell.

But the SMX Hydropower Station is a key project of the country, even if such a weird thing happens, the senior leaders can't just order to stop the construction of this project, and how can the remarks of a mere Taoist priest be adopted by the country's top leaders?Therefore, although the leaders of the engineering department were also apprehensive, they did not dare to agree to the Taoist's request rashly, and only said to wait for the news from above.

Within two days, a scientific expedition team was sent down from above.

This scientific expedition team is composed of geologists, biologists, archaeologists and other professional scientific research personnel. There are a total of nine people. They want to carry out an all-round detailed survey of this strange thousand-year-old tree.

The expedition team was led by an archaeologist named Chen Yicheng.The deputy captain is a biologist named Gao Yue.

This matter is very important and has been passed to the central high-level, so the mission on the shoulders of the scientific expedition team is also very heavy. After arriving at the SMX river, the investigation work was carried out non-stop.

On the first day, the scientific expedition team took down a mummy from the tree.The mummy was completely dehydrated, with only a layer of skin remaining on its body, and even the bones and skeletons under the skin could be seen.The eye sockets of the mummy were deeply sunken, there were no eyeballs, only two hollow eye sockets.

Chen Yicheng put on his gloves, and led two assistants to carry out a detailed investigation on the mummy, and came to a more definite conclusion.This mummy has been more than 3000 years ago, and more than 3000 years ago was the rule of China's first feudal dynasty, the Xia Dynasty, so this mummy is likely to be from the Xia Dynasty.

More than 3000 years of dead bodies can not rot, and its anti-corrosion technology is really amazing.This is the oldest mummy discovered after the founding of New China, which is of great significance to archaeological research.

The next day, the biologist Gao Yue found out the age of this ancient tree, which is about 5000 years old, which is even more unbelievable.Trees that can survive for as long as 5000 years are so rare that they can almost be regarded as sacred trees.The most peculiar thing is that this sacred tree has survived for 5000 years under the ancient Yellow River Road, which is even more incredible, completely overturning the previous biological natural science.

On the third day, geologist Xiong Sibin concluded through the geological survey below the river channel that there is nothing special about the soil and geological structure of this channel, let alone the theory of springs, that is to say, the springs gushing out of the ground. I don't know where the blood came from.

On the fourth day, the heavily armed scientific expedition team was ready to march into the deep pit.Before setting off, they still held a simple blessing ceremony. After all, everyone had no idea about this operation.Through the investigation work a few days ago, everyone already knew that the bottom of the deep pit was extremely strange, and that it might be a bad or bad time to go, but with enthusiasm for science and lofty ideals for socialist construction, they still chose to carry out this mission without hesitation. Task.

All nine members of the scientific expedition team signed the certificate of life and death, and the last person burned three incense sticks, bowed to the Yellow River, like a martyr about to go to the execution ground, with piercing eyes, seeing death as home, and said loudly: "Life and death each have their destiny! "

Later, the scientific expedition team hung down with a climbing rope, and lost contact with the people waiting for support after going down.

A day passed, and the scientific expedition team did not come up.

Two days later, no one from the scientific expedition team returned to the ground.

The people above were already panicking, guessing that the scientific expedition team was in danger, and they were preparing to organize people to rescue them.

Two full days and two nights passed, and in the early morning of the third day, a figure finally crawled out of the deep pit.

This person is the captain of this scientific expedition team, Chen Yicheng.

People were waiting for a miracle to appear, but apart from Chen Yicheng, no one climbed up.

When Chen Yicheng climbed out of the deep pit, he was already unconscious. He was insane and kept shouting "blood corpse! Skinned blood corpse!". Like a monster crawling out of the bloody water, with a hideous face, he almost lost half his life.

The higher authorities immediately sent Chen Yicheng to the best local hospital for emergency treatment, and at the same time invited the best medical authority from BJ to treat Chen Yicheng's condition. That is to say, a mental patient.

To put it more simply: Chen Yicheng was frightened crazy!

Before he left, a person who was alive and well turned into a mentally ill patient in just two days?Chen Yicheng is a professional archaeologist, both courage and courage should surpass ordinary people, but he was frightened to death. What terrible thing happened to him under the deep pit?

Terrible rumors began to spread on the ancient Yellow River Road again. Some people said that the scientific expedition team encountered a ghost under the deep pit, and all of them died. Only Chen Yicheng escaped by chance.Some people say that the bottom of the deep pit is a place where evil spirits gather, and the souls of those mummified corpses are sealed under the deep pit, and anyone who goes down will die.Some people even said that there were bloodthirsty zombies under the deep pit, and that all members of the scientific expedition team were killed by bloodthirsty zombies.

It's no small matter to lose a person's life, not to mention that the missing people are all the backbone authorities in the scientific community.

The relevant departments were shocked when they heard the news, and immediately mobilized the elite forces of the public security department to form a serious crime team, and went to SMX day and night to start investigating this matter.The request given to the serious crime team above is that the cause of death of the scientific expedition team must be investigated.It is said that this serious crime team also received a military order and vowed to solve the case and not delay the construction process of the SMX hydropower station.

The captain of the serious crime team was later Lao Yang's master, named Zou Xiao.

Zou Xiao didn't lead the team directly to the construction site, but first went to the hospital to visit Chen Yicheng who had lost his mind.

Chen Yicheng lived in a separate ward, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, with his back to the door, motionless, like a weathered statue.
