Chapter 355

Chu Tianmeng attaches great importance to the information provided by the big treasurer, but it is important to pay attention to it, after all, Chu Tianmeng is not a professional institution for studying viruses, they spent a lot of time in order to raise enough medical experts and protective equipment, and by the time the second batch of support teams arrived, it was already three days later in the afternoon.

In the face of the invasion of the virus, three days was too long, and after the support team set up the quarantine area and entered the camp of the excavation team, only the big treasurer who came to support him three days ago and a few of his men were left alive.

After disinfecting everyone, the support team began to deal with the aftermath, while placing the dead bodies, while extracting the virus from the corpses for analysis, the first problem of the research was to find out why the big shopkeeper and his men who had been here for three days were not infected by the virus.

While the support team analyzed the virus, the samples of the virus were also sent back to Wuhan, and other institutions were found to cooperate in the study, and the preliminary results of the research showed that the infectivity and pathogenicity of the virus were very high, but it did not pose any threat to the martial arts practitioners whose physical fitness exceeded ordinary people。

After knowing that the virus was not much of a threat to martial artists, Chu Tianmeng decided to organize a team to explore the mysterious space underground again.

Xiong Dingjun and his team set up a base outside the quarantine area, and eight carefully selected shopkeepers entered the passage with a dozen researchers wearing full protective measures, each carrying portable communication equipment to keep in touch with Xiong Dingjun who was sitting at the base.

After the exploration team went down to the ground, they began to open the bronze door, the process was very smooth, and there were no difficulties, the ancient mechanism techniques were hidden under the modern advanced instruments, and the exploration team easily found the mechanism node and dismantled it, opening the bronze gate.

After entering the bronze door, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge statue of a nine-headed three-legged golden crow, there was a stone plaque under the statue, which was written in ancient characters, a certain year, a monster appeared in Chu, this monster was very ferocious, murderous and tyrannical, set off a catastrophe that swept Chu land, the Chu people spent a lot of effort, died a lot of people, and killed the monster, originally thought that the monster would be killed, and the catastrophe would pass, but I didn't expect that after the monster died, it was the beginning of the real catastrophe.

According to the description on the stone tablet, after the Chu people killed the monster, they saw bursts of black mist constantly overflowing from the monster's corpse, and as soon as this black mist touched people, it would make people sick, not only that, but the sick patients would also be infected to the people who took care of him, and soon, except for a small number of healthy men, everyone else fell ill, but they didn't expect that the monster would bring such a terrible plague after death, and all the people were helpless for a while.

According to the thinking mode of the ancients, when there is no way to manpower, they put their hopes on sacrificing to the gods, sacrifice alone is not enough, but also need a wizard who has the ability to communicate with the gods, the so-called wizard, refers to the descendants of the ten witches of Lingshan in the witch culture, the ten witches of Lingshan take the witch as the surname, but it has nothing to do with the witch clan, the main function of the witch is to pray, divination, prayer and other activities to serve the gods and ghosts, the era of the rise of witch culture is about before Yin Shang, until after Lao Tzu turned into Hu, it was gradually replaced by Taoist culture。

The sorcerer found by the Chu people, his name is Wu Fu, after Wu Fu learned the ins and outs of the matter, he told the leader of the Chu people at that time that this plague was caused by the demonic breath carried by the demon object, and ordinary people had no way to do it, only with the help of the power of the gods, it could be suppressed and sealed, as for the power of which god to withhold, Wu Fu also had an arrangement, that is, with the help of the power of the nine three-legged golden crows that fell in Chu.

So what to do, Wu Fu proposed, let the Chu people first build a temple, and then erect a statue of the nine-headed three-legged golden crow in the hall, in the depths of the temple, place the Fusang wood, with the Fusang wood as a guide, attract the spirit of the nine three-legged golden crows remaining in the world, so that they are attached to the statue, the three-legged golden crow is the embodiment of the sun, the most positive to the yang, the most able to deter the demon world power dominated by yin and evil, so as to resolve this menacing plague.

The leader of the Chu people listened to Wu Fu's suggestion and built this temple, after the temple was completed, a grand sacrificial activity was carried out under the auspices of Wu Fu, the spirit of the three-legged golden crow was successfully summoned, attached to the statue, the plague black gas was afraid of the power of the sun of the golden crow, forced to shrink and gather to be suppressed in the temple, and the plague that spread to Chu was also resolved, for the sake of safety, the leader of the Chu people also specially built two bronze gates, bronze in ancient times has the effect of isolating yin and yang, and the bronze is used to cast the door, which is intended to permanently seal the source of this plague。

After the plague passed, the Chu people thought that the people of a clan could be preserved and continue to reproduce, all thanks to the nine-headed three-legged golden crow, in order to express their gratitude to the nine-headed three-legged golden crow, the Chu people since then, they boasted of being the descendants of the nine-headed three-legged golden crow, and finally over time, the nine-headed three-legged golden crow evolved into the image of the later nine-headed bird, the nine-headed bird in the sky, the common saying of the Hubei Yankees on the ground came from this.

After reading the content recorded on the stone tablet, just when the exploration team was about to go deeper, suddenly several team members fell to the ground one after another, and among the people who fell, there were both shopkeepers who were not weak in their hands, and researchers wearing protective clothing, the captain of the exploration team was taken aback, and hurriedly commanded others to escort these team members back to the ground, and when they went to the ground to check, they found that these people were infected with similar viruses, and the power of the virus was stronger than what they had seen before.

The medical experts who accompanied the team believe that this is because of the close proximity to the source of the virus, the previous virus because of the barrier of the bronze door, only a small part of the spillage, so those who have good physical fitness can resist the martial arts, and now the bronze door is opened, the virus is no longer hindered, and the power is greatly enhanced, and the physical fitness and protective clothing of the martial artists alone can no longer be stopped.

Xiong Dingjun agreed with the expert's proposal, which is also from the overall situation, from the bronze gate and related records can be inferred that the underground temple should be built in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the historical significance is indeed not small, but it is not worth the safety of the people in Hubei in exchange, Xiong Dingjun commanded the people to re-close the bronze gate and the entrance of the passage, after the establishment of the forbidden area, in order to prevent uninformed people from entering by mistake and people with ulterior motives to destroy, but also specially arranged several teams to move around the day and night, this rule has not changed after the five veins seized power, and the five veins for the sake of safety, but also raised the security level to even the people within the Chutian League, to the extent that you can't enter without a relevant pass, the degree of attention can be seen one or two.

"In this way, the Hengxuan Temple is not to pray to the gods at all, but to cover his ears and steal the bell, intending to release the virus sealed in the underground temple to defeat Liu Yu?" I keenly found this problem, I said, Heng Xuan's soldiers were defeated and retreated to Jiangling, not to mention taking out all the money to recruit troops, but moving out a part of what temple to build, it doesn't make sense at all, after listening to the story told by Qian Rong, I figured out that Heng Xuan must know this legend, so he will secretly cross Chen Cang in the name of praying to the gods, so that when Liu Yu's army is defeated due to the plague, Heng Xuan can claim that he is blessed by the gods, and the plague from the sky will destroy Liu Yu, which is really a move to kill two birds with one stone.

Qian Rong's opinion is similar to mine, "It's hard for us to say what happened more than a thousand years ago, but judging from the location of the temple ruins, Hengxuan definitely has a target, otherwise where did the two iron gates come from, the iron tools were only available in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there is no reason to appear in the temple of the Yin Shang period." ”

Different from what I paid attention to, Lu Worm scolded his mother directly, "What is he, what does Chu Tianshu mean, we have worked so hard, our feelings are just to enter a drug den, and it is too lacking in morality, Brother Wu, this old boy has put us together, according to what Lao Qian said, the virus inside is so powerful, it can't be stopped by wearing protective clothing, so let's go in, won't it be in vain?"

What Lu Worm said is reasonable, entering this kind of thousand-year-old underground palace, the invisible danger is far more terrifying than the tangible, with our ability, if it is a physical organ alone, even if it is a physical body, there will be no danger of life, but the virus is not easy to say, if you accidentally get on the road, then you want to cry without tears.

I thought about it for a while, and felt that the situation should not reach the level that Lu Worm said, since Qian Rong brought us here, it was impossible to leave just to let us take a look, I asked him tentatively, "Brother Qian, our action this time, you must have a good plan." ”

Qian Rong held the steering wheel with one hand, rested one arm on the car window, and replied nonchalantly, "Boss Wu, you don't have to worry too much, this virus Chu Tianmeng has been studying for more than a day or two, although there is no antidote, but I still have a good understanding of the characteristics of the virus, this way of infecting people needs to enter the human body through the respiratory tract, and it is useless to simply attach to the surface of the human body, so after going down, just turn the breath into internal breath." ”

"Within?" I wondered, "what do you mean?"

Qian Rong turned his head and glanced at me strangely, "Don't you know how to breathe internally?" Just don't use your mouth and nose, but directly use your skin to breathe, and you can do it if your internal force cultivation reaches a certain level, with Boss Wu's cultivation, there is no reason why you can't." ”

I turned my head to look at Lu Worm, he nodded and said that what Qian Rong said was no problem, I looked at the same again, and the old monster spread his hands, "Lao Tzu doesn't know any internal breathing methods, but Lao Tzu is naturally immune to viruses, and he doesn't need to learn it." ”

Grass, I have a problem with my feelings, two will breathe internally, and one is naturally immune, so what should I do, I haven't cultivated internal force, and I haven't learned the method of turtle breath in the Daomen, and after I go on, I can't rely on suffocation to resist it.
