Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Found Out_1

"There are actually more than two hundred people buried in this pit. Who are these people?" a male student asked.

Mu Yun and Du Xishan exchanged a look and said simultaneously, "Villagers."

"Villagers?" The person beside them was startled, and someone immediately asked, "More than two hundred people? Isn’t that the entire village here?"

"Right, didn’t the professor say that the people in the village moved away more than a hundred years ago?"

Sun Lin’s brows were tightly furrowed, clearly his heart was very heavy too. "I’m afraid this matter is not that simple. I recall when I called the civil affairs office, the person who answered the phone even didn’t know about such a place. Later, after my repeated requests, they specifically went into the archives and pulled out the related records. There was very little introduction to this village in the file, only a few brief sentences. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems like something is being covered up."

"Since even the officials have forgotten about them, let’s just bury them again here and erect a monument."

A girl’s eyes had already turned red.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

However, at this moment, Yun suddenly spoke, "We can’t bury them."

"Why not?"

All eyes turned to Yun at the same time.

Yun didn’t speak but walked around the pit. Afterward, she addressed the crowd, "Everyone, please step back first."

The people exchanged glances, and seeing Sun Lin and Du Xishan nodding, they all stepped back a few paces.

Yun stood on the edge of the pit, staring intently into it. Soon, two Mysterious Seals slowly emerged in her pupils.

After clearing the obstruction of the old locust tree, everything in the pit came into view. Yun’s gaze pierced through the mass grave and discovered that there was actually a stone door within the deep pit!

"Found it!"

"Found what?" Du Xishan quickly inquired.

However, before Yun could answer, her eyes suddenly began to sting. Following that, she found that the surroundings had changed.

A little boy suddenly ran by the edge of Yun’s vision. As she turned her head, she was surprised to find that the deserted village had suddenly returned to its original state, and smoke was even rising from the chimneys of the thatched cottages.

Around them, several children with braided hair and patchwork clothes were running and chasing each other joyfully. Although she couldn’t hear their voices, Yun could tell from their pure and innocent expressions that their lives must have been carefree.

"This..."

"Mu Yun, what do you see?" Du Xishan asked again.

Yun still didn’t answer because she noticed a little boy running toward her.

He ran and ran until he reached where Yun was standing, which was the original location of the old locust tree when he suddenly fell. As Yun reached out to help him up, her hand passed through his body.

The boy seemed a bit angry, so he picked up a sharp stone and began to dig a hole, as if to vent his frustration on the very earth that had tripped him.

Soon, a few other children joined him, and they dug holes like the first boy.

Before long, one of the boys seemed to hit something hard. He dug carefully for a while and when he picked it up for a closer look, it turned out to be a golden rice bowl!

This discovery instantly caused an uproar in the entire village. The strong men of the village grabbed shovels and dug deep where the boy had been digging, and from there, many gold and silver vessels were unearthed, stirring up excitement throughout the village!

On that day, they dug late into the evening until the thin sunset over Xishan, when a young man uncovered a stone door.

Everyone believed that beneath the stone door lay even more valuable treasures, so they joined forces to move it aside.

But the moment they moved the stone door, a bizarre energy surged skyward, and the three young men who had exerted themselves to move it seemed as though they were cursed, ceaselessly scratching their own skin. They appeared impervious to pain, scratching frenziedly, even if it meant tearing their flesh and drawing blood!

Subsequently, the entire village was afflicted by this extremely horrifying curse, and the once peaceful and tranquil small mountain village suddenly became a mortal hell.

That night, two Taoists, drawn by the soaring bizarre energy, arrived at Zhao Family Gully.

When they arrived, not a single person in the village had intact skin; the dead all had extremely ghastly appearances.

To break this bizarre curse, the two Taoists cooperated to reseal the stone door, and they threw all the villagers into the pits they themselves had dug. Afterwards, they planted a locust tree above and nurtured it with Water Talisman for forty-nine days before they felt at ease to leave.

Once all the illusions had dissipated, everything before your eyes returned to reality.

Looking down at the pit beneath you, you couldn’t help but sigh deeply, "In this world, nothing is more malevolent than human desire."

"Mu Yun, what exactly did you see? Tell us about it."

Knowing you had extraordinary abilities, Du Xishan was also very eager to understand the whole story.

You nodded and recounted everything you had just witnessed.

Sun Lin couldn’t help but sigh deeply, "No wonder it wasn’t clearly stated in the files. It seems we have now found the entrance."

You looked at Sun Lin and asked, "Professor Sun, are you really determined to go down?"

Du Xishan said with a smile, "Old Sun is just like that; if we hadn’t found the entrance, it might have been okay, but now that we have, he absolutely won’t give up. Even if what lies below is hell, he would still go down to check it out."

"But it’s so dangerous."

"Yes, it sounds really terrifying."

"How about we call the provincial cultural relics bureau? My mom works there, and I can ask her to bring more experts over. With more people, it would be more convenient."

...

Sun Lin’s students immediately started discussing amongst themselves, and despite various suggestions, their attitude was unanimous: they were resolutely against going down!

You glanced at these people and smiled.

Indeed, although these people weren’t exactly spoiled children, their parents were all part of the system. From the moment they were born, their futures were planned out by their parents. Everything they were supposed to do at every age was already decided by them.

Compared with ordinary people, they were accustomed to staying within the lines. They would never do anything out of the ordinary, let alone risk their lives on an adventure.

Du Xishan and Sun Lin exchanged a look, and you saw both anger and sorrow in Sun Lin’s eyes.

Seeing that Sun Lin was about to scold them, you patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Professor Sun, there’s no need to force them. It’s right for them not to go down. What’s inside is indeed too dangerous for them. Moreover, the number of people who can go down cannot exceed three."

"Why?" Sun Lin and Du Xishan asked simultaneously.

"Because..." As you were speaking, you couldn’t help but glance toward the three o’clock direction.

Suddenly, Shadow Six, who was hiding in the bushes and clandestinely observing you all, froze in shock, thinking to himself, "I’ve been discovered!"
