"It's incredible. The projection of sunlight is used to form a few words on the stone. The angle of the sun changes not only with the time, but also with the seasons. Therefore, the appearance of those six words,

You can’t see it at noon in any season. I’m afraid it can only appear at twelve o’clock every day during this season. If it’s another season, you might not be able to see it even at noon.”

Crazy Six frowned, as if talking to himself. His cousin nodded silently beside him, agreeing with Crazy Six's inference.

These words are so weird. They only appear at noon in this season, and the time they appear is only one minute at most. They are really fleeting and extremely difficult to find.

"What are those six characters?" Hongmei asked softly from the side.

"It's 'a place without life and death'", before my cousin could answer, Mr. Chen on the side said, "Each character is as big as a fist, and the font is extremely clear and powerful. It is a very standard willow style.

I really can’t imagine who could use the projection of the various edges and corners of the stone to form these six characters on that stone? This is really ingenious."

“A place without life and death”? What does this mean?

My cousin stared at the crater without saying a word, as if he was deep in thought.

"Do you still remember that 'spiritual fetus'? It was told by an old Taoist priest in Shanghai. It was said that during the period of Qin Shihuang, a warlock who specially refined the 'immortality' elixir for Qin Shihuang came to a large cave.

Three hundred pairs of virgins were given aphrodisiacs, and they were asked to die of promiscuity day and night on a piece of silk fabric processed with the medicine. The bones of these men and women were refined and crystallized, and then they gave birth to that kind of spirit.

fetal'

Come on, this hair growth process is very similar to mushrooms growing from moist vegetation. I don’t know why, when I heard the word "no life and no death", I suddenly thought of the cave and the weird "spiritual fetus".

'Come on, the old Taoist priest also said that all the weird things in the mountain are related to the 'spiritual fetus'. But now it seems that the old Taoist priest's conclusion is wrong. All the weird things in the mountain should be caused by this meteorite.

.”

Hongmei's words quickly reminded us of the old Taoist priest, his mysterious death, and the mysterious disappearance of the 'spiritual fetus'. The old Taoist priest was also a strange man. He was proficient in a 'Feng Shui Curse Technique' that could turn living people away.

Cursed and died. He once came to the cave of this mountain to practice the art of immortality, and later had a series of incredible experiences.

Hongmei thinks of the Taoist priest and the "spiritual fetus", which we can completely understand, because everyone vaguely feels that this "no life and no death place" seems to have something to do with "immortality".

Is this really the case?

When we asked our cousin for confirmation, he did not answer immediately, as if he had not heard us asking him, and was still immersed in deep thinking. For a while, everyone was silent.

After about a minute or so, my cousin suddenly said: "The Zhang family on the cliff in the cave may also be related to this crater."

Our cousin's words shocked us.

The corpse of the old lady in gorgeous clothes on the cliff immediately appeared in my mind again, which made me shudder. That Zhang, Gao Xiazi's mother, had been dead for at least three hundred years, but

Not only did the corpse not rot, but it was still lifelike and could move. In a sense, it could be said that she was still "alive", but had lost consciousness and had become a zombie-like state.

Is Zhang's zombie-like state also related to this crater?

At this moment, my cousin's thoughts seemed to have returned to reality. He looked away from the crater, and then he looked at us and spoke slowly: "During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king in our area was called

Zhu Leting..."

"Zhu Leting? Why is this name so familiar? By the way, the old man said that the medicine used by Gao Blind Man to deal with the 'Monkey Eagle' last time was invented by Zhu Leting."

Sister Li couldn't help but interject. After her reminder, we all remembered that Crazy Six did say this name.

The cousin nodded slightly and continued: "Well, it's that Zhu Leting. According to historical records, he mysteriously disappeared in this crater. The process was extremely mysterious.

At that time, Li Zicheng had already captured our area, and the vassal king Zhu Leting, with three or five personal guards and a strange bird in his arms, was chased by Li Zicheng's troops and fled into this crater. History books

It is said that when the pursuers from behind reached here, they

More than ten steps away from Zhu Leting, Zhu Leting was about to fall into the hands of King Li Chuang's troops, but at this moment, an unexpected and strange thing happened - Zhu Leting and his party entered the crater, and when the pursuers behind them chased them,

When they arrived at the pit, Zhu Leting and the others were nowhere to be seen.

There is no grass growing in this crater, and there are no big rocks for people to hide. The entire crater is clearly visible. Moreover, Zhu Leting and others clearly entered the crater and were never seen out. How could they mysteriously disappear? People came one after another.

Thousands of people searched this pit repeatedly for a whole day, but found nothing.

Every inch of stone in the crater was searched, but no caves or traces were found. In this way, the vassal king Zhu Leting mysteriously disappeared in this crater and became an unsolved case in history. The person responsible for hunting down Zhu Leting

The leader, because he failed to capture Zhu Leting, was killed by Li Zicheng after he returned.

This record occupies a long space in our county annals, because many of the soldiers who participated in the pursuit were our locals, and they all witnessed this mysterious scene with their own eyes.

Therefore, this seemingly ordinary crater is full of incredible mysteries, and it is not entirely accidental that I found those words projected on the stone today, because as soon as I entered the crater, I found a very

Strange phenomenon...".

As soon as we said this, we heard Mr. Chen say "Ouch". Everyone was surprised and quickly looked over to Mr. Chen. Only then did we realize that it was Mr. Chen who was so fascinated by what he was listening to that he even held the cigarette in his hand.

He forgot to smoke, and Mr. Chen didn't notice it until the cigarette burned his fingers.

It seems that what his cousin said has completely shocked Mr. Chen. No wonder, for him, this crater is simply "accustomed to it but not noticed" - he sees it every day, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

What was strange and unexpected was that when my cousin came to this pit for the first time, he discovered so many secrets. How could this not shock him!

"Ha, what you said is more exciting than the storyteller. It's okay. You can continue talking." Mr. Chen quickly put the cigarette on the ground and said with a smile. The cousin also smiled and said: "Actually, I

So we can find that those six words are related to the cigarette in Mr. Chen's hand."

Hearing what his cousin said, Mr. Chen's eyes widened, he was surprised, and he asked confusedly: "What? Is it related to the cigarette in my hand?"

The cousin nodded: "Yes, it has something to do with the cigarette in your hand. The smoke from the cigarette in your hand should be floating upwards, and the smoke will disperse quickly, but once it reaches this crater, the smoke from the cigarette will

Although it is still floating upward, when it reaches four or five meters, the wisp of smoke still does not disperse and is very straight, which looks very weird.

This shows that the airflow in the crater is from bottom to top and is very regular. There will be no turbulence, and the airflow around the crater cannot come in. In other words, this huge stone crater seems to be surrounded by an invisible

There is an airflow cover covering it, and there is only one possibility for this phenomenon to occur - there is an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period under these stone layers."

When my cousin said this, we were completely confused. Crazy Six couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that those caves in the mountains are ancient tombs of prehistoric civilization? It was just that after they were occupied by the Japanese army, they were

After some modifications on the original basis, why did an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period appear here? Besides, there should be meteorites underneath, so why did the ancient tomb appear again? Also, how did you determine that there was an ancient tomb underneath?

And we also know that it must be an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period?"

The cousin smiled and explained patiently: "Yes, that's right, but the special kind of prehistoric humans who built tombs here do not affect future generations. There are indeed meteorites below, but in ancient times, emperors and generals were buried in funerals.

There is a custom that they like to build tombs specifically at the place where the meteorite landed. They think this is very auspicious, as they can quickly become immortals after death.

Why can it be determined that there are ancient tombs below? And it can also be determined that they are ancient tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period? This is all based on my decades of archaeological experience and research.

In this big mountain like ours, for some unknown reason, a group of ancient tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period were discovered. The structures of these ancient tombs are very strange - the entrances to their tombs are not completely closed, but are connected to the outside world through stones.

The gaps are connected, which is different from all other tombs in ancient times.

The tomb entrances of this kind of tombs are usually opened at the bottom of some lakes. After these lakes dry up, a strange phenomenon will appear above these lakes - in foggy days, you can see that these have dried up.

There is no fog at all above the stone pit, as if it is covered by a special cover.

As long as you peel off a layer of the stones at the bottom of the lake, you can see the tomb passages. For some reason, from the mouth of these tomb passages, an unusually stable airflow will blow out, blowing straight to the top of the lake from the gaps in the stones.

.

In addition to the special structure of this kind of tomb, the inside is very simple, with only one or a few stone coffins, and very few burial objects. Generally, there are only a few strange-shaped pottery. From the simple words on the walls of the tomb passage, it can be judged that

It turns out that these are tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period.

As for why such a batch of weird burial methods appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, the academic community has not yet studied clearly, and the reason why the stable airflow can be generated in the tomb passage is even less clear. Moreover, this weird

The burial method only appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has never appeared before or since.

What’s even more weird is that in the stone pit above this kind of ancient tomb, at noon, under the sunlight, a few words will be projected on a certain stone. As for the content of the words, it is completely impossible to identify. Those words

It seems to be bronze inscriptions, but it is not. It should be a kind of ancient writing that has disappeared. Why is this kind of projected writing not the same type as the writing in the tomb passage? This has not been determined in the academic world.

Based on what I knew, at twelve o'clock at noon, I quickly observed the shadows on the surrounding stones. Unexpectedly, I actually found fonts appearing. However, those six characters were all standard regular script.

So it’s definitely not too far back.”
