Chapter 35: Lamp Oil for Insect Corpses
The disgusting Lin Tao shook his hand tightly, wiped it on his trouser leg, and looked at the small red mark in his palm, just a moment ago, there was no such stinging feeling, Lin Tao carefully looked at the small red mark in the palm of his hand, and made sure that there was no problem before patting his ass and standing up, at this time Lin Tao looked at the poisonous insects gathered behind him, all like puppets, except for the moving eyes, the body remained still, until Lin Tao turned his head and made a sound of moving Xi Xisuo.

Under the deterrence of the blue-eyed green toad, all the poisonous insects in the tomb were lying there honestly, motionless, which really made Lin Tao experience the momentum of the return of the king, and the insects in front of him admired it, and followed closely behind him.
Turning a corner, Lin Tao saw a little soft light coming from the tomb in front of him, and the blue-eyed green toad that had been lying on his head also jumped down at this time, jumping towards the light, and the surrounding poisonous insects all hurriedly avoided a road, so that one person and one frog quickly walked to a tomb where the light came.
The faint light came from a large jar at least two meters wide in the middle of the burial chamber, which was actually an oil lamp, and in the middle of it was a large wick with the thickness of an arm, constantly swaying in the dim and soft light of the fire. Lin Tao used an oil lamp when the power went out when his home was a child, but when the oil lamp was often lit, it dragged a slender black smoke, and the flame of the big oil lamp in front of him was indeed so soft.
Approaching a look, it really scared Lin Tao, the nearly two-meter-wide altar was full of all kinds of poisonous insects, all of which were greasy and greasy, and then a palm-long black centipede climbed in from the edge of the altar, crawled on the corpses of those poisonous insects for a while, and then stood still, as if he was constantly drinking the oil in the altar, and then rolled and sank into the altar.
It seems that there must be something in it that attracts these poisonous insects to come in and drink oil, but after drinking, they can no longer climb out, they can only become the nutrients in this jar, and it may turn into lamp oil after a long time, no wonder so many years have passed, and the lamp oil in the jar has not been used up.
With the faint light, Lin Tao took a closer look at this small tomb, except for the huge oil lamp in front of him, the surrounding area was surrounded by small jars in a circle, densely piled higher and higher, almost piled to the top of the tomb, not to mention tens of thousands of small jars, and behind the oil lamp was a hollow carved screen, and there seemed to be something behind it.
Lin Tao walked to a small jar and picked it up, a thick layer of ash on it, gently blew it off, tore off the layers of oilcloth paper on it, took a flashlight and took a flashlight, inside was a transparent praying mantis, actually standing motionless, like a statue, suddenly Tao saw his little eyes suddenly moved, staring at himself like staring at the prey, and he was so frightened that his hands trembled and the jar fell to the ground.
The little praying mantis fell out of the jar, standing on the ground and trembling, as if moving its body, Lin Tao saw it run out, so he took two steps back. The transparent little mantis finished its activity, turned its head and stared at Lin Tao, and in an instant, Lin Tao felt a tremor all over his body, like a prey that had been locked, and would be eaten by it at any time. One person and one praying mantis were in such a stalemate for a while, and suddenly the transparent little mantis shook its wings on its back and flew up, Lin Tao didn't react, he saw that the little mantis had stopped in the air in front of him, looking at himself deadly, the mouthparts in his mouth were still rubbing, Lin Tao also knew that when the praying mantis was staring at the prey, as long as the prey moved, it would launch a fatal blow to it, although the transparent little mantis in front of him looked like it was not poisonous, But since I entered the Gu Tomb, I haven't found any poisonous insects that don't contain toxins.
was stared at by it for a while, his body was already soaked with sweat, and suddenly he had a cold shiver on his body, and the little praying mantis flew towards him quickly, Lin Tao shouted in fright and squatted down with his head in his hands. The old man didn't move for a while, even the sound of the little mantis flapping its wings disappeared, and when he heard his blue-eyed green toad croaking, Lin Tao secretly looked out from between his fingers, and the transparent little praying mantis was already lying on the ground at this time, and only two wings were corroded by the venom spit out by the blue-eyed green toad. Lin Tao saw that the little praying mantis was dead, so he slowly stood up, took a breath, and took the blue-eyed green toad in his hand to feel a little comfort.
Could it be that this is the Gu tomb, the tombs above may be decorations, the real tomb is this, looking at the piles of dense Gu jars, I have the feeling of why this place is called Gu Tomb, these tens of thousands of small jars are full of old poisons, Lin Tao didn't move anymore, he was afraid that he would bring some danger to himself just now, bypassed the poisonous insect oil lamp in front of him, and walked towards the back of the hollow carved screen.
Lin Tao, who bypassed the screen, immediately jumped back in fright, slowly stretched out his head and took a closer look, behind the screen, a headless corpse was lying on a jade bed with his hands crossed, his neck was empty, and the remaining blood stains had become black, leaving only a black wound.
Lin Tao also saw a headless corpse for the first time, and although he was already dead, he still felt goosebumps all over his body. looked at the corpse actually wearing ancient clothes, then Lin Tao suddenly remembered that on the mural of the tomb of the King of Dian, he saw a black-robed man holding a blue-eyed green toad leading countless poisonous insects and pythons to fight with the army, but in the end he was cut off by a priest and presented to the King of Dian, but where did his corpse go The mural does not explain, is this corpse the Danshi on the mural?
Lin Tao looked at this corpse suspiciously, like the Danshi on the mural, but why hasn't the corpse decomposed after so many years? Lin Tao leaned towards the corpse with a flashlight, and found that there seemed to be something under his crossed hands, Lin Tao put the blue-eyed green toad on top of his head, and just wanted to see what was under the hand, this was the blue-eyed green toad but suddenly jumped on the body of the corpse, Lin Tao just wanted to catch it, but unexpectedly, the blue-eyed green toad went directly through the wound on the neck of the corpse, what happened, the blue-eyed green toad actually drilled into the blood hole in the neck of the corpse, even if this was the original owner of the blue-eyed green toad, But what is left of having been dead for so long?
Lin Tao was thinking about it, the blue-eyed green toad came out of the corpse again, and there was a fiery red elixir the size of an egg in his mouth, Lin Tao took it into his hand, and just wanted to take the elixir in its mouth, but unexpectedly, the blue-eyed green toad swallowed it in one gulp, and its body began to become cold and hot as soon as it was swallowed, and the irritated Lin Tao accidentally leaked it to the ground.
The headless corpse also turned into a puddle of gray water after the blue-eyed green toad took out the fiery red elixir, and after a while, it turned into a puddle of gray water.
glanced at the corpse that had turned into gray water on the jade bed, took the things that were originally under his hand, uncovered a thick layer of cloth, and covered an ancient book without a cover.
Glancing at the blue-eyed green toad that had turned its belly under his feet, Lin Tao turned in and picked it up, wouldn't he be poisoned by eating that pill, the blue-eyed green toad was also extremely poisonous, how could it be poisoned, but that pill must have expired after so many years, Lin Tao was thinking about the blue-eyed green toad in his hand and turned over and lay on Lin Tao's palm.
