"So, little girl, can you bring me that worm?" The Worm Son asked tentatively. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"No, senior brother." Hua Jiuxi stopped him, "That big green worm was besieged by countless little demons before, and I'm afraid it won't survive now." ”

It turned out that Hua Jiuxi wasted a lot of effort to remove the "Demon Suppression Seal" of the Queen Mother of the West, and covered the insect with a layer of "Hidden Grass" that changed with the shadow of the sun, and it had been several days, and the life and death of the insect were still unknown.

"No, scarabs don't die." The girl sighed for a while, "No matter how big the injury is, it can recover on its own." I'll call it over now. ”

After that, gently shake Haojie's wrist.

A few minutes later, a "rumbling" sound was heard, and a huge object fell from the sky, and its feet breathed fire, it was the scarab.

The insect Tianzi jumped up directly, he usually saw a lot of treasures, but this thing really made him excited. Without the owner's consent, he looked and touched the big worm. Hua Jiuxi was embarrassed for a while.

In fact, Hua Jiuxi is also the first time to see the green insect king immortal in a normal state, but it doesn't feel like a creature, but like a machine that doesn't say anything.

This feels like the last big war, when the British made a kind of chariot called "water tank", which was invulnerable and crushed you directly.

"Tsk, the treasure that the ancestors of the past generations have never had the opportunity to see, actually let me bump into it-little girl, which country are you from the West?" The Worm Tianzi's tone was much gentler.

"Germans." Then the girl said the name of the university, the institute of so-and-so. Naturally, the insect Tianzi doesn't understand.

The fact that the Germans were engaged in Oriental studies and were the last among the Western powers and had made a lot of achievements was well known to the world. On the other hand, there is also a large group of researchers of various mystical witchcraft in Eurasia. These, of course, are out of consideration for world domination.

As a small intellectual in the ancient Oriental country who has been beaten, Hua Jiuxi obviously does not agree with this kind of behavior. But the half-race girl in front of her was so cute—a simple child like her must have been motivated by pure academic purposes.

"You're German, there's a big guy who says that German women are dragoons, but I don't think that's the case."

"Thank you."

Recalling the appearance of the girl's fair cheeks covered with scarlet clouds, Hua Jiuxi was also fascinated.

"Little girl, can you make it move?"

"Oh, good." The girl didn't say anything, and the beetle miraculously punched a landslide, which was controlled directly by the mind through the ring. The insect Tianzi called "good things" repeatedly.

Only then did I remember to ask the girl's name.

"Laxmi"

The Insect Tianzi was too excited, and ordered Hua Jiuxi to invite Laxmi into the cave to talk, naturally talking about the reason why Laxmi was chased and killed by the demons.

"It's just a hole, there's nothing to entertain. Drink a cup of honey tea to quench your thirst. As he spoke, a huge hummingbird flew over with a cup.

Laxmi took the teacup, and without doubting whether it was drugged, took a sip. I felt a burst of refreshment all over my body.

"Well, it's a bit complicated from the beginning."

"At the beginning of the year, our team received a project that was funded by the Velli Club."

About the Wilihui, Hua Jiuxi has heard a little. It was a German occult organization that wanted to gain the power of the Elder Gods in order to control the world, and it had close ties to the German authorities.

"Our topic was originally about prehistoric Asian witchcraft. It is believed that when humanity first set foot in Eurasia, there was an era when the wizarding class ruled all people with magic. At that time, humans all over the world spoke the same language, which was Wican. In the nineteenth century, scholars noted that some Indian tribes in North America had elders who spoke a language that could communicate with animals. The language lacks concrete meaning and consists of a number of abstract and cumbersome syllables. An even more shocking discovery was made by the presence of old people who could speak such languages among the Ezo people spoken in the North Sea and the Yakuts of Siberia. ”

"The elders of the Ezo people use this language to talk to bears, and from linguistic analysis, it is the same thing as the Indians thousands of miles away, as well as the small islands of the South Seas and the indigenous people of Africa. We suspect that this is the great language of prehistoric times—the language of witchcraft. ”

"I've been learning the language for a few years now, and I've mastered it so-so. It wasn't until the Willys approached us that there was still a widespread use of the Witch language in southwest China—or a settlement of intelligent beings. This piqued our interest. ”

When Hua Jiuxi heard this, he felt that it was still a purely academic question, and asked, "Is it just an investigation?" ”

"Not really." Laxmi said, "The Velli people have told us other important news. So, before that, can you tell me a little bit about this mysterious location in the no-man's land of northern Tibet? ”

Hua Jiuxi thought that there was nothing to say about Shaoguangcheng, and looked at the senior brother's face, and the other party nodded slightly. And he began to say:

"Shaoguang City is the home of the Queen Mother of the West in Chinese legend – or her palace on earth. Of course, this is a fragment of what is said in ancient books, and our sect is more aware of this. ”

"The Queen Mother of the West, the ancestor of the Witch Cult, was worshipped by humans and monsters in ancient times—I don't know how long ago. Later, the power of the human king became larger, and the territory of non-human creatures continued to retreat - all kinds of ravines and fields, caves and crypts were filled. The Queen Mother of the West founded a large city in the southwest where there was absolutely no human intervention, which we call Shaoguang City. ”

"Shaoguang City itself is a monster city, although it is nominally ruled by the Queen Mother of the West. But after the 'Jedi Tiantong', her old man only séances once in a few years. The current situation is that several major demon world forces are ruling in turn. ”

Laxmi nodded: "What you said is very valuable, but it's a pity that we didn't have contact with professionals like you before we went." ”

Hua Jiuxi scratched his head: "You're welcome." ”

Worm Tianzi snorted: "The water in that city is bottomless, and foreigners like you can't be provoked even if they have aircraft and cannons." Why do you have to find out? ”

Laxmi smiled awkwardly, "That's not true. You may think that there are only priests and nuns in the West, but in fact Europe has a strong tradition of witchcraft. In terms of the personnel to be assigned, we have carefully selected a few researchers who have wizarding ancestry and have a certain degree of magic. ”

She was right. Hua Jiuxi thought to himself, and asked again: "So you went there just to get information, and this kind of trivial matter obviously won't be life-threatening." You must know that if mortals strayed into Shaoguang City, as long as there is no aggression, they are willing to show off, and maybe give some gifts. ”

Laxmi nodded, "Yes, but the Willy Society clearly has other intentions, and it's not pure. Allow me to go on at length again—"

The Worm listened quietly and motioned for her to continue.

"The Willy Society has an important credo, which is the desire to see the ancestral gods of the Aryans - as for the old gods they call them, unfortunately, we don't know what kind of existence it is." Laxmi said, "It is said that this ancestral god was the first person created by the will of the universe, and the material from which he was made was a kind of red soil. ”

Hearing the words "red soil", Hua Jiuxi and the insect Tianzi were all moved.

"The Willy Church is indeed very mobile, because the clay that shaped the first man in legend comes from the four corners of the world. So it took them decades to find three of these laterites from the bottom of the Red Sea, Ceylon, and the Pacific Ocean. ”

"What does red clay look like?" Worm Tianzi asked.

Laxmi paused and explained, "It's dirty, but it's more meaty." One of them is about the size of an adult's palm and responds to external stimuli. Its miraculous effect is that no matter how severe the wound is, if a little red clay is glued to the wound, the flesh and blood of the person will quickly regenerate. ”

Hearing this answer, the hearts of the two of them were in turmoil. But the simple Laxmi didn't see the trick.

"Willy will think that the fourth piece of red earth is in the place you call Shaoguang City, which is controlled by the youkai - and then, this operation took place. We entered Tibet via India – you know, the Germans didn't have many resources around here. Therefore, we brought all three pieces of red clay with us in order to make the first people as soon as possible. ”

"This plan is known as the 'Prusha Project', and Prusha is the name of the original man in Hindu mythology and the name of the Aryan ancestors envisioned by the Willy. We entered Shaoguang City in the name of 'tribute'. There, he was welcomed by the youkai and inquired about the red clay. ”

"We don't know why, but it seems that the local leadership wanted to arrest us when they learned that we were not just trying to do it. There were a few arrogant men, and there was a bloody conflict with them......"

"All but me were captured, and if it weren't for the assistant I had my father left behind, I wouldn't have been able to escape." Her tone was calm.

Hua Jiuxi said lightly: "Then, do you want to save your companions out?" ”

"Not really." Laxmi said, "I don't have anything to say to those fanatics, but this time the mission fails, and it will be difficult for our team to raise funds in the future~" It turned out that she was worried about this.

"And if I go back to Germany like this, I will face a series of accusations and investigations. So I thought – find a place to avoid for now. As for the evil purpose of creating the so-called 'first human' or something, I don't care. ”

Hua Jiuxi sighed lightly and said, "Lakshmi." ”

"How?" Her eyebrows furrowed.

"Now it's not just about you, it's about us." Hua Jiuxi said.

Laxmi clapped his hands and said, "How do you say that Chinese sentence?" Send the Buddha to the western heavens, do you want to rescue my accomplices? ”

Hua Jiuxi smiled wryly and shook his head.

"That kind of red clay is not available in Shaoguang City." The insect Tianzi snorted and said, "We have it." ”

Hearing this, Laxmi was speechless for a moment.

"I kid you not." Hua Jiuxi thought about how to explain slightly, "Coincidentally, that artifact was originally brought by the Queen Mother of the West, and her old man originally used this thing as a material for the elixir, about a thousand years ago, her old man combined the medicine for the last time, and left the remaining red mud to us, a harmless little sect, for planting flowers and grass." ”

"We call this thing Muni mud, and its shape and characteristics are indeed exactly what the girl said." Worm Tianzi said.

Laxmi was very happy to hear this, like a child holding a candy cube: "So, can you let me see it too?" ”

The brothers looked at each other and agreed. So lead Laxmi to a greenhouse.

This greenhouse was built for less than 1,000 years, and it was made of crystal, which is beyond the reach of manpower. There are all kinds of strange insects, and Laxmi actually saw the kind of elves with butterfly wings on their backs in Western fairy tales—not to think that there are their kind in the Far East.

"It's a lot of work to take care of such a botanical garden, right?" She suppressed the urge to touch the strange plants.

"I don't have any manpower, just I'm a lonely old man." There was some smugness in the words of the Worm Tianzi, "There are a lot of workers who don't breathe." ”

Laxmi naturally did not know what the so-called "non-gasping worker" was. Stop and stop to reach a place that resembles a cemetery.

I saw a large area of black soil, and I knew how fertile it was, mixed with a few tomb-like bulges. Two or three dead trees, dotted with a few crow-like red-eyed strange birds, are "quacking".

"It looks desolate, but it's actually planted underground." Hua Jiuxi explained, "It's a mushroom. ”

Laxmi suddenly realized that since it is a mushroom, then depending on the meaning, the raw materials are probably the dead bodies of humans and animals. When studying witchcraft, much of the material is human flesh and blood, and Laxmi is not afraid of it.

I saw that the insect Tianzi walked to a small grave bag and kicked three feet lightly. The grave bag actually split in half and slowly opened, and the action was really like a person opening his eyes. A large amount of mist suddenly poured out of the grave bag, and it could be seen that the temperature inside was definitely not low.

The two brothers entered the cave, and Laxmi followed suit, only to discover that the material of the ladder in the basement was similar to that of bones. With each step, there is a sound that almost makes a joint sound.

The basement was dimly lit and hot and humid. Laximi suddenly felt depressed, in the past, no matter how dangerous the situation was, he had companions with him, but this time he was with two strange men, an old man and a young man, and he was somewhat afraid in his heart. It's just hard to say.

It's easy to get down two basement floors. Laxmi saw countless mushroom creatures of all sizes, and the soil on which they grew was indeed red, meat-like. If not an illusion, these things are wriggling.

"Here, there. All mushrooms are cultivated from flesh and blood. These flesh skulls are all born from the same mother, which is Muni mud. Hua Jiuxi said.

"Raw? What does that mean? Laxmi was puzzled.

Hua Jiuxi said, "The total amount of Muni mud is only so much, but if you cut a piece, that small piece can develop into a new creature under the corresponding conditions." For example, in the water, it will become fish fry, and in the tree, it will become a small worm. We simulated the temperature and humidity of a uterus, and it became a lump of meat equivalent to an embryo. Because the embryo always has to develop, it grows larger and larger, and it becomes the soil for growing mushrooms. ”

"It's amazing." "We have three pieces of red clay, but we value them so much that we have never done such an experiment. ”

Hua Jiuxi smiled, "This is what the Queen Mother of the West told our ancestors, and we can't get it if we don't know the law." ”

The insect Tianzi didn't say anything along the way, but in fact, he was a little dissatisfied with the fact that his junior brother and the girl of the state revealed too much information, and when he arrived at an iron gate, he deliberately said sharply: "It's here." ”

The mud is sealed here.

Laxmi was excited, and her hands were subconsciously clasped together.

The insect Tianzi didn't know what kind of incantation he recited, and the iron door opened automatically, and the indoor space was extremely small, only about two people. In the center is a red square column-like thing, and the top of the column is a quadrangular pyramid, similar in shape to a pyramid.

When the Insect Tianzi entered it, Hua Jiuxi slightly blocked in front of Laxmi and signaled not to enter. Laxmi is a very interesting girl, but she just waits.

The Worm Son cautiously approached the pillar, pressed his hands on the small pyramid, twisted slightly, and removed it—the thing was originally separated from the main body of the pillar.

The Son of Worm Heaven held the pyramid, approached the two of them, and said, "What is in this box is Muni mud." ”

Laxmi looked at it for a moment, only to see that the object was far more refined than any industrial product of his time. Its golden surface seems to have countless tiny grooves, and in the very center of each side is the pattern of an eye. The motif is reminiscent of the "Eye of Horus" in ancient Egypt, and the inside of the pupil seems to have other complex structures. The Worm Tianzi also looked at the box and said to Hua Jiuxi, "Now that this has happened, I'm afraid it's not safe to put it here." ”

Then he asked Laxmi, "Girl, what kind of monster will come out if you combine the four pieces of Muni mud into one?" What would that 'what' so desperate to get your hands on? ”
