Regardless of the flat land or the top of the mountain, the infinite scenery is always occupied.

After picking a hundred flowers into honey, in the end, who will work hard for sweetness.

——

Dr. Yang is old and in poor health, and I almost ran with him in the second half of the road just now, so the old man was too tired to do it, and he gasped for a long time before he panted and said, "Just now...... Those...... It seems to glow...... I took a look at the small stone, it was a 蟦 (fèi) stone, also known as rotting insect jade!"

As soon as Dr. Yang mentioned this kind of academic knowledge, his whole person immediately became energetic, and he stopped breathing in an instant, and his physical strength recovered.

Dr. Yang looked at everyone after speaking, and sighed when he saw that everyone was confused, like a teacher who hates iron but not steel.

When I saw that Dr. Yang might be an occupational diseaser, I reminded, "Elder Yang, speak quickly! We can only rest for a while, otherwise we won't have time to listen for a while!"

Dr. Yang smiled self-deprecatingly, sat on the ground and said: "Worm jade, also known as rotting insect jade, is said to be produced in a certain valley in the Tianshan Mountains, this rotting worm jade itself has many strange characteristics, and has always been a legendary mysterious species that is extremely rare, I didn't expect there to be so many worm stones here!"

The ancients believed that the stone was a living stone, and there was an evil spirit attached to it, as long as there was a flame close to the stone, so that its temperature increased, then a large amount of thick black mist would be emitted from it, and after the black fog, all the living substances in the vicinity were corroded into pus!

There was a strong wind blowing through the narrow passage we had just passed, and the purpose was to blow out the torches in the hands of the intruders, so that when the intruders entered the next section of the grave with the stones, they would stop and light the fire, and then all the intruders would be killed by the stones!"

After Dr. Yang finished speaking, Gu Master Li Zhixiang was fascinated by what he heard, and leaned over and said, "Then is this Worm Stone a worm or a stone? Could it be a Gu!"

Dr. Yang smiled and said, "In our world, everything has a law, as long as it is a species living in this world, it must be obeyed, and the stone worm is no exception!"

At the end of the 19th century, American scientists found that rotting insect jade is similar to Cordyceps sinensis, as the so-called winter is a worm, summer is a grass!

Cordyceps sinensis is a complex of sub-constellation and larval body that the fungus parasitizes on the larval body of the bat moth. As the name suggests, insects in winter and grass in summer.

The rotting insect jade is like a stone like jade at room temperature, and it will become an insect if there is a flame or other substances that cause high temperature, and a large group of black insects gathered together is extremely small, and a single rotten insect jade can barely distinguish a large number of them gathered together with the naked eye, which is very similar to black smoke.

The rotting insect jade is usually in a state of suspended animation, a large number of rotten worm jade are stacked together, just like black jade, because the shell of the rotten worm jade will dry and harden in a state of suspended animation, so it will absorb light and shine.

The rotting insect jade inside the shell senses a sharp change in the temperature of the nearby air, and there will be an accelerated process of transformation, taking off the hardened corpse skin, gathering together and flying out.

These rotting insect jades that broke out of the cocoon were as imposing as locusts that were flooded. The insects secrete a large amount of corrosive liquid by constantly dying in the air, devouring all nearby objects with temperature, including flames, which can be swallowed by the liquid of the rotting insect jade!"

After listening to Dr. Yang's speech, I was really afraid for a while, but fortunately, Dr. Yang found these rotten insect jades just now, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Everyone's rested, right, it's time for us to hurry!" Chen Kun said and took the lead and walked forward.

This hall does not have any ornate decorations, nor does it have any traps or traps, and behind the hall is a tomb road, which is also paved with simple bluestone, and the door of the tomb road is crookedly engraved with a few lines of big characters, which looks like it is out of the hands of ordinary people.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, quit extravagance and frugality!"

"Frugality leads to prosperity, and obscenity leads to death!"

After reading these lines, Dr. Yang couldn't help but nod and said: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!" It seems that the owner of this tomb is also a great sage! He deliberately built the tomb in front of him and the tomb chamber so luxuriously in order to compare it with the back, but this is a tomb and not a park, and it is built in the middle of the mountainside, who can see it? Could it be that he wants to show the ghosts!"

Dr. Yang, a materialistic scientist, was surprised to talk about these gods and ghosts, and I was just about to ask something, when suddenly there was a warning sound from a tyrannosaurus in front of me.

Hearing the warning sound, Chen Kun and I immediately ran to the front, and saw the tyrannosaurus pointing to the tomb in front of him with a panicked face and shouting: "Head! Brother Chang Peng! We just walked here, and now we are walking back, but we are walking in a straight line!"

After listening to the Tyrannosaurus rex's words, I checked with Chen Kun, this is indeed the place we just passed, because there are our footprints on the ground, but how did I go around this circle!

"It's a travesty, the same environment and the refraction of light that gives the illusion that one can't find the right direction. Dr. Yang, who caught up from behind, said.

I said in my heart: "This must be a labyrinth, if only that Zhang Jingru was not greedy for life and afraid of death, it would be good, but you have to rely on yourself for everything, and you can't always count on others!" Thinking of this, I carefully observed this tomb.

A senior who had his head smashed by an apple said, "No matter what you do, as long as you are willing to work hard to explore, you will not fail!"

Could it be that this is the Nine Palace Bagua Array!

Fortunately, Zhang Jingru gave me a detailed explanation today, but I didn't have the heart to listen to it at that time, and I can only try my best to recall it now.

"One" represents yang, "--" represents yin, yin and yang are parallel, and the combination of movement and static is for gossip.

Stem represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, Xun represents the wind, Zhen represents the thunder, Kan represents the water, Li represents the fire, Gen represents the mountain, Dui represents the Ze, the yang turns from the left, the yin turns from the right, the heaven is respected and the earth is humble, the heaven is on the top, and the south yang is on the left side of the four hexagrams, and so on.

As long as we find the tomb marked with Dui, we can leave here!

I briefly told you about my findings, and Chen Kun and the others agreed with me and were going to look for the tomb with the redemption sign, but at this moment, Dr. Yang stopped us and said, "Wait a minute!"

We didn't understand why the old man stopped us, and we all looked at him blankly.

"What Chang Peng said just now is very reasonable, but he ignored one thing! This is an ancient tomb, not a film and television drama or a drill, and the owner of the tomb has only one purpose in setting up this soul hook, that is, to prevent people from entering and disturbing the rest of his soul! How can he leave you a door for you to crack? So all this is a maze of old cloth, if we follow this life gate, we will definitely enter the trap and trap!" After speaking, Dr. Yang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you are very smart, but your heart is too pure!"

"Then how are we going to get out?" asked Chen Kun.

"In ancient times, the tomb would not be repaired to death for the sake of auspiciousness, so we walked according to our senses!"

At this time, Dr. Yang changed his old pedantic appearance, and looked like a big brother and said: "I know you may think I am ridiculous, hehe! Facts speak louder than words! I will go out by consciousness now, if you believe me, follow me!"

After Dr. Yang finished speaking, he strode forward, and we had no choice but to follow Dr. Yang as a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

Twenty minutes later, we finally walked out of this tomb and came to a hall, but this hall is only one-tenth the size of the previous ones, and the most important thing is that there are two tomb entrances on both sides of the hall, it seems that these three tomb roads finally lead here, and we are getting closer and closer to Old Man Yue!

There were several corpses in this hall, all of them looked like White Lotus cultists, and one of them caught my attention, because this corpse was covered in corpse spots, and it looked like it had been dead for at least a few months, but that was a few days ago.
