Chapter 416 Clues in the Bones
Under Liu Cong's order, the team members in the room finally stopped rummaging for things randomly, but classified all kinds of things and organized them in an orderly manner.

This underground palace is an abandoned tomb, so there is nothing buried in the whole tomb. It can be said that as long as there are things in the tomb, they are left by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian or the people who came here later. It is very useful to determine the identity of these people.

Chen Ziyang put all his thoughts on the compass of the Du family. He gently stroked the compass of the Du family through his clothes. At the same time, he kept guessing the origin of this compass, but he had no idea nor.

Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai also joined the team of sorting things. After all, according to this sorting method, Yang Lei basically has no chance to rummage through valuable items, so he might as well help, maybe he can leave here quickly .

There are often a lot of bones in the room, and there are also a lot of miscellaneous things. It is not possible to finish sorting it out in a short time.Chen Ziyang sat on the ground with his back against the wall, thinking nonstop.

Since the boxes left by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian were opened, it means that these people came in after the iron book was placed here.Judging from the style and degree of corrosion of the remaining tools, these people should have entered here in the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China.

Maybe when Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian put the iron books here, the underground palace didn't crack. Maybe the earthquake that destroyed the dragon veins created huge cracks in the mountain, but the cracks didn't go through the underground palace.

And when Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian put the iron book here, there was another geological movement here. It is very likely that another relatively large earthquake widened the cracks in the mountain that had already cracked, directly destroying the entire tomb. split into two.It was that earthquake that made an unexpected back door appear in this underground palace.

These things are easy to connect and very clear, but there is one thing that Chen Ziyang has been unable to understand.That's why so many people entered the underground palace at the same time, and why did these people die here?
The underground palace is located in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and the surrounding tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers are deserted. How could so many people enter here at the same time?There is only one possibility, these people are organized, and they were arranged to come here after someone discovered the underground palace along the cracks in the mountain.

Now all the thoughts are like a mess, and there is no way to sort them out. It seems that the truth of the matter is like the miscellaneous things in this tomb, which needs to be sorted out before it can be sorted out.After thinking about it, Chen Ziyang fell asleep in a daze.

By the time he woke up, the tidying up work in the tomb had come to an end.The team members sorted out very quickly, and things were piled up in an orderly manner.

The biggest pile of things in the entire tomb is the pile of bones. Everything on these bones has been removed, even including the rags that were wrapped around the bones before.

Other things were also separated by category. The sorted items were piled up on the ground, and a lot of tools were also piled high.Chen Ziyang looked at everything, until he saw the last small pile of things and his eyes widened in surprise.

Although this pile of things is the smallest and the least in number, it is the most eye-catching, because this pile of things is all bullets and shell casings.

After rubbing his face with his hands for a while, Chen Ziyang came to his senses. He walked to the front of the pile of bullets and shell casings and watched carefully.

The number of bullets in this pile of bullets and shell casings is relatively small, accounting for about one-third of the total, and may even be less.Only a small portion of these warheads are well preserved, and most warheads are twisted or blown apart.

Chen Ziyang is not very good at firearms, he doesn't know what kind of bullets these bullets are from, but with this large pile of bullets placed here, the matter is very obvious.The people who died in this tomb should all have been killed by this kind of bullets, and it is no wonder that the bones of those corpses were so broken that they should have been broken by bullets.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang carefully observed the wall of the tomb. Since the bones were removed, many places that were previously covered by the bones were exposed, and there were some sparse bullet holes on the wall of the tomb.

And on the wall facing the crack in the mountain, the bullet holes were even denser, almost all lined up in a row.Chen Ziyang roughly counted, and he found that there were more than 100 bullet holes concentrated in one area of ​​this wall.

There were new scratches around some of the bullet holes, and it seemed that some bullets were pulled out of the bullet holes on the wall under the command of Liu Cong.

Chen Ziyang reckoned that these well-preserved warheads should have been taken from the bones, and stayed in the body before, and those warped and damaged warheads should have missed people, or were in the dead. After hitting a person, it penetrates the human body and hits the wall.

At this time, Yang Lei, who was idle, walked to Chen Ziyang's side, and said in his ear: "How about it, are you surprised? Liu Cong and the others have analyzed it. Guess what kind of gun bullet it is."

Seeing Yang Lei's traitorous character, Chen Ziyang was furious, and after giving Yang Lei a blank look, he said calmly: "If you love to talk, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I'll ask others .”

"Hey, look at you, I'm just teasing you, why are you still angry, let me tell you, these bullets are quite useful, it can almost be said that the identities of these dead people can be inferred from these bullets. Do you know , These bullets are [-]-cap bullets."

"What!" Chen Ziyang yelled subconsciously. It's no wonder Yang Lei would be so secretive. This clue is really too important, and it solved a lot of questions at once.From this point of view, it is very likely that these people were forcibly brought here by the Japanese army to dig out the treasures here.

It may be that the Japanese army killed people after obtaining the treasure here, or it may be that there was nothing in this tomb except iron books, which made the Japanese army furious and killed these people to vent their anger.No matter what the reason is, these people should have become the dead souls under the guns of the Japanese army.But why is there a compass of the Du family here?

Just as the two of them were talking, all the things in the entire tomb had been sorted out.Liu Cong stood on the stone platform, stepped on the empty box containing the iron books, and said loudly to everyone:
"Now things have some clues. These people should all have died under the guns of the 1940th Gai, and the [-]th Gai was the standard equipment of the Japanese army during World War II, so the time these people entered here has already passed. It can be roughly confirmed, it is estimated that it was around [-].

Now you can look through the things here casually to see if you can find any clues, so as to find the trace of the iron book.No matter what the idea is, or what the possibility is, as long as you can think of it, say it, and it may play a decisive role. "

As soon as Liu Cong finished speaking, other people gathered around, looking through piles of things, trying to find some clues.

Some people were rummaging through the bones, some were rummaging through the lost tools, and more than half of the people were looking around a pile of things, which were scattered in the tomb. The small objects should be the relics of these dead people.

Although they are relics, there are not many of them, and none of them are valuable.Most of them are broken shoe soles that have not rotted, or rags. The best few things are two copper coins. It is estimated that these two copper coins were worn around the neck by someone before to ward off evil spirits.

A dozen people rummaged around several piles of things for a long time, but they didn't even find any useful clues.Liu Cong scratched his head in anxiety, but he had no choice but to hope for a miracle.

Chen Ziyang's thinking was very special, since others could not find clues here, so he must not be able to find them himself either.That being the case, why not change your thinking, think about it from another angle, and see if you can make breakthroughs in other areas.

After thinking for a while, he said to Liu Cong, "Liu Cong, I think there is something very important."

It was rare that someone raised an opinion, Liu Cong quickly pricked up his ears, and other people were also listening to Chen Ziyang's words consciously or unconsciously.

After thinking for a few seconds and sorting out his words, Chen Ziyang went on to say: "The Qinling Mountains are located between the three provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi and Henan. If I remember correctly, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, because the Nationalist Government , the reason for sticking to Tongguan, coupled with the fact that there are many mountains in Shaanxi and few flat lands, the Japanese army's front line is too long to keep up with supplies.

The strategic significance of Shaanxi is not very great, and the economy is also backward, so the Japanese army did not spend any effort to attack. Shaanxi and Gansu provinces were not occupied by the Japanese army, and HEN province was only partially occupied by the Japanese army.

There are no less than 200 bones here, and there may even be more. Judging from the fate of these people, they are likely to be strong men captured by the Japanese army. How many Japanese troops will need to escort more than [-] civilians?
Look at the bullet holes on the wall. The bullet holes are very dense. It is obvious that the Japanese army blocked the exit of the crack and shot at the civilians in the tomb. From this point, it can be seen that there are not a few Japanese soldiers escorting them.

Counting the escorted Japanese soldiers, the total number of people who came here should be no less than 300.Don't you think this thing is a little strange?How did these people get here?
The Qinling Mountains is a vast area, and the surrounding area is desolate, and there is no way for cars to pass through. These more than 300 people need to walk hundreds of kilometers of mountain roads on foot.In addition, this is not a Japanese-occupied area, and this team has no supplies at all on the way. It can be said that they have many difficulties to get here.

Putting all these details together, something can roughly be deduced.

The simultaneous appearance of so many March [-]th Gai in non-Japanese theaters is enough to prove that the purpose of this Japanese army is very strong.Coming here is the purpose of their actions, not by chance.

And these dead bodies also illustrate this point.These Japanese troops did not hesitate to expend manpower and material resources to send more than 200 civilians here, and they must have their intentions.

I guess some spies of the Japanese army accidentally discovered this place and found that there are many treasures in it, or there are other things worth taking the risk of the Japanese army to steal, which made these more than 100 Japanese soldiers risk their entire army Risk is here for what was put here before.

Maybe the role of these civilians was to expand the cracks in the mountain over there, so when the Japanese army got the things here, they killed them to silence them. Firstly, it could prevent the news from leaking, and secondly, there was no need to spend food on them on the way back. .

It is not a trivial matter to mobilize more than 100 Japanese troops to penetrate into non-Japanese-occupied areas, so this must be an organized operation, and careful planning must be carried out before the operation.

According to my understanding of the Japanese army, actions like this must be approved by superiors, and may even be reported to several levels, and some written materials must be preserved.

Although the age is relatively old, and the materials of the Japanese army are not so easy to find, after all, it is an information society now, and many top-secret documents from the World War II period have been declassified. Although it is not easy to find these documents, it is also possible. It's not too difficult, I think you can start from this aspect. "

Because he had studied the relationship between the Qing Dynasty's dragon veins and treasures before, Chen Ziyang had a better understanding of the puppet Manchukuo of the Japanese army, he also knew a little about the Japanese way of doing things, and he had a better understanding of major events during the Anti-Japanese War. My thinking is relatively active, so I immediately thought of this level.

What Chen Ziyang said made Liu Cong's eyes shine.It can be said that this discovery is very important. It may be difficult for others to find Japanese top-secret documents during the Anti-Japanese War, but Chen Benzhong may be able to do it.

Chen Benzhong has worked under the Japanese for a long time, and he also has a very good understanding of the Japanese way of doing things. At the same time, he now has certain power and connections, and the possibility of finding these documents is very high.

Now that there are no other clues here, and the breakthrough point has been found, Liu Cong hurriedly urged everyone to leave the holy land of Taoism to find the whereabouts of the iron book.

When everyone was packing their things and preparing to leave, Chen Ziyang looked around the tomb.Because the passage between the room connecting the soul lamp and this tomb is very secret, and the stone wall is relatively thick, the Japanese soldiers and civilians who came here did not find other parts of the underground palace.

It would be nice if this hidden corridor was designed more crudely, maybe the Japanese soldiers who came here would find the room of the Soul Lamp, the room of the Qishang Mausoleum Guarding Formation, and the rooms where zombies are hidden .

If that was the case, perhaps these civilians would not have died, and the organs left by Yuan Tiangang might play a certain role in the fight against the Japanese, and perhaps kill these Japanese devils.

"Wait! Something is wrong! The Japanese and civilians who came here may not understand the pattern of the tomb, but the Du family must know. Why didn't he open that tunnel?" Chen Ziyang had this question in his heart.
