"I really feel a chill in the back of my neck. The fat man raised his hand and touched his head.
Hua Thorn answered in front, "It's hot outside, it's cold inside, and now it's cold on the back, and it's cold all over the body after staying for a long time." ”
The light in the cave is dim, and walking in the tomb road feels dull and depressing, but fortunately, this tomb road is not long, but it is only a dozen zhang, and it will soon come to an end.
At the end of the tomb is a wooden door, also double-opened, this wooden door was obviously installed later, very rough, tinkering, and extremely dilapidated.
There was no lock on the wooden door, but instead of opening it immediately, she grabbed some powder from the cloth bag around her waist and sprinkled it on the two of them.
"Big brother, what is this?" Nanfeng asked, in addition to the smell of medicine, this powder also has a stench.
"Donkey dung from a female donkey who ate knotweed. Flower Thorn clapped her hands.
Nanfeng originally took half a cake in his hand, and when he heard this, he handed the cake to the fat man, "Are you hungry?"
The fat man glanced at Nanfeng and didn't take the cake stained with donkey dung.
"Hurry up and go in when I open the door, and don't shout when you get in. "Thorn is ready to open the door.
"Big brother, what's inside?" the fat man was very curious.
"Awesome bees. Flower Thorn pulled open the wooden door.
It was pitch black inside, the fat man went first, the south wind followed, and the flower thorn took the torch and entered last, closing the door with his backhand.
By the light of the torches, Nanfeng saw the environment clearly, here is a passage similar to the outside tomb, the difference is that this passage is very wide, the stone walls on both sides are about five zhang apart, the passage is about ten zhang long, and there is a wooden door at the end.
"Where's the bee?" the fat man looked around.
Hua Ting'er beckoned to the two, and led the two to the right stone wall, and when the distance was closer, it could be seen that there were a large number of round holes the size of wine cups on the stone wall, densely packed, and the whole stone wall was full of such round holes.
Flower Thorn crouched down, pulled out a short knife, and bumped into one of the round holes.
Soon, an insect crawled out of the round hole, this thing was somewhat similar to a wasp, but its size was much larger than that of a wasp, a pinch long, the thickness of a thumb, and the whole body was black, and after crawling out, it brought out a strong smell.
The strange bee crawled out of the round hole, circled around the round hole, saw no abnormality, and drilled back into the round hole.
"Why is this bee so big?" asked the fat man.
The fat man spoke a little louder, alarming the strange bees nearby, more than a dozen strange bees drilled out of the round hole, and a few of them flapped their wings and flew up.
As the strange bee flew up, there was a strange sound in the passage, the sound was like a female ghost's sinister smile, eerie, "Hey, hey~"
Because the strange bees were flying and circling around the three of them, the fat man did not dare to move, nor did he dare to make a sound, and when the strange bees returned to the round hole in the stone wall, he was relieved and took a long breath.
Hua Thorn took the two of them back to the middle of the passage and smiled smugly, "What's the matter, you're scared, aren't you?"
"What is this?" the fat man looked left and right, lest it be too loud and alarm the strange bee.
"This is an invincible ghost bee, one can sting a cow, the cow is dead, it can't die, and it can sting after coming back for a few days. "Flower Thorn is very proud.
The fat man was apprehensive at the sound of the female ghost's sneering voice, "You don't need to sting, you can scare people to death if you release it in the middle of the night." ”
Flower Thorn is obviously not a good guide, and does not introduce the origin of this strange bee, the two have to ask him before answering, this strange bee is naturally not called "invincible ghost bee", this name should be Flower Thorn himself to give them, but these strange bees will make a strange sound like a ghost laugh after flying, it is appropriate to call it a ghost bee, this thing does not eat nectar, it is a carnivore, it is fed twice a year, and no other meat is eaten, only human flesh.
Because he only eats human flesh, and there are round holes in the stone wall, the fat man suspects that this thing was there when the tomb was built, and it is part of the anti-theft mechanism.
Listening to the fat man say this, the thorn was very displeased, stuffed the torch to the south wind, stomped his feet and shouted, the ghost bees in the round hole were disturbed, and they climbed out and flew up, and the passage instantly became a ghost domain, thousands of ghost bees fluttered their wings and flew, and the gloomy ghost laugh echoed from the closed channel, and the terrifying two people were terrified, standing in place, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
Flower Thorn mouth chanting words, from time to time raise arms and shout, the many ghost bees with his shouting left and right, up and down, a moment later Flower Thorn let out a mouthful of shouts, ghost bees immediately returned to the nest, outside not a single can see it.
Seeing that the two of them were frightened and pale, Hua Thorn was very proud, "This is what I found outside, I moved here to raise, you don't want to think about it, if there was earlier, no one fed, wouldn't you starve to death." ”
The fat man said yes again and again, but obviously his mouth was wrong.
"There should be mechanisms for firing spears and sharp thorns in the stone walls on both sides, and those round holes are the spear exits, which were not dug for beekeeping. Nanfeng said.
"Or do you have insight. Flower Thorn took the torch in Nanfeng's hand and continued on her way.
"Big brother, what kind of words did you just say?" Nanfeng asked, Hua Thorn kept saying something in his mouth when he commanded the ghost bee, he was next to him, and he really heard it, Hua Thorn was not speaking barbarian language.
"Spells. Flower Thorn replied casually.
Hua Ting'er said this, which means that he didn't say it, but Nanfeng didn't continue to ask, Hua Ting'er shouldn't be hiding it and not saying it, and it is likely that even he doesn't know what words he is shouting. Mantras and spells are very esoteric things, some require the caster to understand the specific meaning of mantra spells, while others only need to know the pronunciation to work.
"How many ghost bees are there?" asked Nanfeng.
"It's called the invincible ghost bee. Flower Thorn corrected.
"Yes, the invincible ghost bee. "South Wind" knows its mistakes and corrects them. ”
"I don't know how many there are, but there should be 10,000 of them. Flower Thorn walked to the wooden door, "Be careful, it's a big hole in here, walk on the side." ”
The two nodded in agreement, and the flower thorn opened the wooden door and dodged in.
By the time the two of them entered, the brazier had already lit the brazier, which had been moved in later and placed in the corner.
By the light of the fire, Nanfeng saw the situation here, and in front of him was an area of similar size to the passage where the ghost bee was, the difference was that the ground here had all collapsed, and the place where the three of them were currently standing was the wooden plank path that was later dug and tenoned, and the path was attached to the right stone wall leading to the front, and below was a deep pit that was five zhang deep, although it was not very deep, but the four walls were very smooth, and it was difficult to climb and get out of the trap when they fell into it.
"There was a thick copper plate underneath, and it was full of nails, and I was short of money in the early years, so I moved out and replaced it with a herd of cattle. Flower Thorn said.
Nanfeng nodded, due to the difficulty of mining and smelting, copper was mostly minted into coins and weapons, and the price of copper was very high, and it could almost be used as currency.
Most of the utensils used by the people were terracotta, and most of the metal utensils were made of bad gold, that is, iron.
"What's up there?" the fat man pointed forward.
"There's something up there down here, too. Flower Thorn reached out and pointed down.
When they heard this, they turned their eyes to the bottom of the pit again, but there was nothing but some gravel at the bottom of the pit.
Flower Thorn grabbed the half of the dough that Nanfeng had been holding in his hand and threw it into the bottom of the pit.
The fat man looked at it really, "Those little black dots are ants?"
Nanfeng has no aura cultivation, and can only vaguely see the piece of bread, and can't see the black spots that the fat man said.
"Yes, but they're not ordinary ants, they don't grow big ants. "The thorns are colorful.
"Isn't that still an ant?" said the fat man casually.
"Can you speak?" said the thorn glared.
Seeing this, Nanfeng hurriedly changed the topic, "Big brother, that piece of cake is stained with donkey dung, and they eat it too?"
"You don't understand this, they are already stiffening, and they will only wake up when they smell the medicine," the flower thorn pulled the south wind back, "Be careful, don't fall down." ”
Nanfeng was pulled to the root of the wall by the thorns, stretched out his hand to support the wall, and found that his hands were sticky and slippery, and he shrank his hands and lowered his head, only to see a little red dirt on his hands.
In doubt, he looked at the stone wall, only to see that there were scattered red and blue spots on the stone wall, which were some kind of pigment, and then looked at the opposite stone wall, there were similar traces, these two stone walls should have been painted with murals before, but unfortunately the age has faded.
While the south wind was looking left and right, the fat man had been staring at the ants at the bottom of the pit, and he didn't see the way out of the door for a long time, and he was a little interested, "Why don't we go inside and have a look?"
"Don't worry, wait a little longer. "The thorn refuses to go.
Nanfeng was interested, and answered, "These ants must have something supernatural, if they are ordinary things, the eldest brother will not keep them here." ”
"That's nature. Thorn smiled and nodded.
"Why don't they move? "Why are they going to lay cubs?" asked the fat man.
"Yes, when you are full, you will give birth, and half a pillar of incense will hatch, if you are full, you will be able to grow up after half a pillar of incense, and then give birth to a baby when you grow up, it won't take an hour, it will be a huge group, just wait, let's go, come back and see." "Flower Thorn stepped forward.
"As long as there is food, they will continue to reproduce?" said Southwind, following the thorns.
"Yes, don't underestimate this little thing, if you offend me, let two of them go, and no grass grows everywhere you go, and all the palaces and mansions and mansions will be gnawed clean for him. Thorn laughed.
"Can this thing be heard?" asked Nanfeng.
"That's nature," said Thorn, looking back at the south wind, "and if you like, I'll give you two." ”
"Thank you, big brother. Nanfeng immediately thanked him, this little thing was really an excellent means of secretly breaking and hurting people to take revenge.
"I want it too. The fat man shouted.
"But it's just an ant, what do you want it for?"
The fat man was unhappy but couldn't, who let himself not be able to speak, offended his brother-in-law.
Nanfeng gloated and tilted his head to laugh at him.
The fat man pouted and muttered, "Sycophant." ”
The three of them came to the door against the stone wall, which was also a wooden door, but there was a heavy medicinal gas on the door.
"Guess what's in here?"
"Is there a reward for guessing right?" the fat man wanted ants.
"Yes. Flower Thorn nodded.
"It's either a mouse or a scorpion, it's not a scorpion or a centipede. The fat man guessed four in one go.
Nanfeng shook his head, "The medicinal qi on the door belongs to the Seven Leaves and One Branch, and it should be a snake in it." ”
"You have knowledge, but your guess is not right, this is not a snake, it is a dragon......"
