Chapter 34: The Flower of Death

Under the light of the three torches, we saw that at the end of the green light path, there was a high platform about three meters high, and there was a staircase on one side of the high platform facing the path, and on the high platform, there were three guardrails, and we could see a huge coffin, flat on the high platform, but what shocked us was not the coffin, but a thing on the coffin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A white flower, very abruptly growing on the coffin, the petals of the flower are almost transparent, in the faint light of the torch, exude a strange halo, no wind to dance, is slightly shaking, every shaking, it makes people feel shocked, only feel that everything in this world is illusory, the surroundings are instantly pitch black, only the white flowers in front of you are left.

I faintly felt that something was wrong in my heart, but my body couldn't move at all, I tried my best, and only turned my head, and just wanted to open my mouth to shout, but I saw that Professor Jia in front of me was already blind, and his fat body shook and shook, looking like that, it was like falling; And Luo Dascar's eyes were closed, and there was a fierce and hideous look on his face, and he didn't know what was going on; Foreigner Leddy had already rolled off Luo Dascar's back, lying on the ground and not moving, not knowing life or death; Even Mango's eyes were closed, and a weird smile appeared on his face.

What's going on with all this? I found that my mind was awake, but my body couldn't move, as if I had been under a fixation spell. The only thing that the facial features still feel may be the bitter taste in the mouth, which has been bitter from the mouth into the stomach, and at this time the stomach is like a fire burning, not hot, but still warm.

Suddenly, I saw Yang You on the left, slowly turned her head to look at me, her eyes blinked slightly, it seemed that her consciousness was also awake, but like me, her body couldn't move.

At this moment, I saw Luo Da Scar's hideous face, his eyes were closed, but he was muttering something in his mouth, as if he had been repeating, approaching Yang You step by step, suddenly pounced, pinched her neck, and shouted like crazy: "I want to kill you, I want to kill you!"

At that moment, there was a sudden shock in my brain, after I hallucinated before, according to them, no one knew anyone like this, yelling, could it be that Luo Dascar has also been tricked by illusion now?

This thought was just a flash, and Yang You's body in front of him couldn't move, and his face turned purple by Luo Dascar, and even his little tongue spit out. Luo Dascar's big hand is like an iron plier, and in a few seconds, I am afraid that Yang You's little neck will also be broken.

I was so anxious that I felt the burning sensation in my stomach at this moment, burning my chest as well, and my hands and feet twitched at that moment. It was during that time that I realized that my body, which had been fixed, was able to move. Almost without hesitation, I used the extreme speed that my human body could appear, rushed to Yang You's body, and rolled Luo Dascar on the ground with a fist.

The situation is urgent, and I can't care about anything else, Yang You was pinched so much that she even rolled her eyes, I was afraid that if I didn't make a move, she would die. Luo Dascar's hands went from her neck, she couldn't breathe in one breath, and the whites of her eyes rolled and she was about to fall. I hurriedly held her up, slowly lowered her, and gently patted her on the back to help her breathe.

Yang You inhaled heavily, and suddenly turned her eyes to the right, I knew that she still couldn't move, and followed her gaze to the high platform, only to see that the white flower, still flashing with a strange ghostly light, was shaking slightly.

"You mean, the flower is the culprit?" I already felt that it was inappropriate, but when I saw Yang You looking at the flower, my heart moved, and I asked.

Yang You's eyes blinked, and suddenly turned left and right, but this time I was dizzy, I and her are not in a good mood, how can I have the ability to understand the meaning by looking at my eyes.

"What do you say......" As soon as I was halfway through my words, my body was suddenly pounced hard by Luo Da Scar, who didn't know when he got up from the ground, and his back fell to the ground heavily, and I gasped in pain.

Who knew that Luo Dascar's kid didn't know what he saw in the hallucination, he rode on me, pinched my neck with both hands, and said fiercely: "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you." ”

I have long understood the brute strength of this kid, Luo Dascar, when we chased the lynx into the mountains, and we fell into the illusion of the mandrill together, and he almost strangled me. But now is not the same as before, I am not the same as I used to be, as soon as his hand is around my neck, one of my palms first pressed my own neck, so that his hand can only be pinched on the back of my hand, and the other hand breaks his hands at the same time, and the lower body has pushed him off me by the strength of his waist.

Luo Da Scar rolled over and rolled over, and wanted to pounce on me, where would I give him a chance, and kicked him sideways in the chest, kicking him down, but I took advantage of the reaction of this kick to run on the high platform where the coffin of the king of Nanyue was placed, and what I was directly facing was the strange flower.

I know that this strange white flower in front of me must be the key to everyone's illusion, but how do I get rid of it? If you use your hands alone, who knows if it has poison on it.

Just standing in front of it for two seconds, I felt a little dizzy, if it weren't for the bitter taste in my mouth, I was afraid that I would have fallen into a hallucination like Luo Dascar and them. I didn't dare to hesitate any longer, took out the dagger from my backpack, and stood two meters away from the demon flower on the coffin.

It's not that I don't want to get closer, in fact, every time I get closer to the demon flower, my heart beats faster, and I have no doubt that if I get any closer, it will jump out of my throat. This position is already the limit that I am close to.

I aimed the dagger at the rhizome of the demon flower and threw it out. I've never practiced throwing knives before, but I don't have time to hesitate anymore and can only gamble everyone's lives on this one.

Maybe it was my luck, maybe it was the fate of everyone, the dagger swirled a few times in the air, and although it failed to cut off all the demon flowers, it cut off most of its rhizomes. The rhizome could no longer support the weight of the flower, and the whole flower slowly fell down.

As soon as the demon flower fell, I suddenly felt that my originally heavy head was lighter, and the invisible pressure was gone, and even my body felt much lighter.

"Bang!" Suddenly, there were a few sounds of landing, and I turned my head to see Luo Dascar and others under the high platform, after the demon flower landed, they all fell to the ground as if they had lost the support of their vertebrae.

At this time, although my body was much looser, it was like recovering from a serious illness, and I couldn't move too much. I slowly walked down from the high platform, saw that Yang You was already unconscious, and found the stinky box from her backpack and placed it in front of her nose.

Yang You snorted lightly, stimulated by the medicine in the box, and slowly woke up, as soon as he saw that it was me, he wanted to sit up, but his body was weak, but he could speak in his mouth, and said, "Huang Shang, that flower ......"

I nodded to her and said, "I cut down that flower." ”

Yang You looked up at the high platform and was relieved to see the demon flower lying on the coffin. As soon as the demon flower was gone, she recovered quickly, and she was able to stand up in less than a minute, so she went with me to save the others. One after another, Professor Jia and Luo Dascar woke up from their coma.

"Damn, why am I in pain, Huang Shang, what happened just now?" As soon as Luo Dascar woke up, he cried out in pain. I looked at him with a bruised face, and secretly laughed in my heart, of course, I would not be stupid enough to say that it was my masterpiece, so I lied to him: "You just fell into an illusion and fell into a hallucination, and you are doing a monkey show here by yourself, if it weren't for me, you would have to turn here to death." ”

My words were half-true and half-false, which frightened him for a moment, I turned around and looked at Mango Head again, Mango Head also looked tired as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, rubbed his shoulders, and said: "Uncle, what happened just now, why did I suddenly feel that I couldn't see anything, and then, and then I saw a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, I divided them one by one, and left one for you, and one for Brother Big Scar......"

Mango was hit by the illusion three times in the first few times, and his mental pressure was extremely great, and his psychological endurance was only afraid that it was almost to the limit, and I was afraid that it would stimulate him even more if I said it, so I said to him: "You fell asleep just now, dreaming, drink some water and wake up." With that, he took the kettle out of his backpack and handed it to him.

At this time, I heard footsteps, but I walked towards the high platform, turned my head and saw that it was Professor Jia, and I don't know if he was awake or not, or still in hallucinations, I was shocked, and hurriedly rushed forward and said, "Professor, are you okay?" ”

Professor Jia ignored me, staring at the white demon flower that fell on the coffin with his eyes, he didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly his whole body shook, as if talking to himself, and as if he was saying to me, "This, I always thought it was just a book record, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to really exist in this world......

"Professor, what is this, this demon flower? I'm afraid that we will fall into an illusion, and that's because of it. I said to Professor Jia.

"This is, the flower of death."

At this time, Professor Jia finally heard my words, turned to me and said, "The Flower of Death is just a common name for it, in fact, its real name is Amanro Flower. Legend has it that it is raised by the evil spirits of hell and grows at the entrance of the ninth layer of hell, and specially introduces the lonely ghosts who have fallen into the ninth layer of hell, so that all the controlled ghosts keep repeating their most painful memories, and the evil spirits use this to absorb their grudges. ”

"This is just a religious legend used to confuse believers, in fact, we will fall for its illusion, but we inhale its spores scattered in the air, which have an inhibitory effect on the nervous system in the human brain, so we will hallucinate." Yang You didn't know when he walked up to the high platform and looked at Professor Jia and said.

It is said that looking at this question from a scientific point of view, Yang You's answer may be very reasonable. I once read in popular science books that there is a plant in the tropical rainforests of Africa that relies on spores to spread its offspring, and its spores can drift dozens of kilometers away from the air. If this demon flower is also such a plant, then its spores float in the tomb with the air, and no one who enters the tomb can escape unless they bring an oxygen tank.

No, I thought about it, how can I explain that what I saw in my hallucination was almost real? It stands to reason that what appears in the hallucination must be something that everyone has seen or knows, which is the same reason that ancient people, no matter how they dreamed, would not dream of modern aircraft and artillery. Could it be that this demon flower is really from the ninth layer of hell as Professor Jia said, and it is planted here by evil ghosts?

Yang You said with great certainty, as if he had seen this demon flower before. Professor Jia glanced at Yang You, but did not agree or refute, but Yang You glared at Professor Jia, as if he wanted to hear how he would answer.

"Uncle, what's that? Wow, there's zombies! ”

At this time, I heard the screams of Mango Head behind me, and when I turned my head to look, I found that Mango Head was hiding behind Luo Da Scar, who was walking on the platform together, trembling with fright, and even Luo Da Scar was shocked, and his eyes were firmly fixed on a corner of the high platform.

I raised the torch in my hand and shone it on the corner of the platform, and I was also surprised. I saw that there seemed to be a one-meter-tall humanoid corpse squatting in the corner, with atrophied whole body, chapped skin like tree bark, staring at the skeleton's eye sockets, opening its mouth wide, and its hands as if they wanted to pounce.

As soon as we arrived at the high platform, our attention was attracted by the demon flower and the coffin, but we ignored the four corners of the high platform, and we didn't expect that there were still dried corpses in the corners. Isn't it another formation?

"Don't worry, it's a merman!" Yang You walked up to me, but said to Mangotou.

Luo Dascar slowly walked to us with a mango head, but his body was far away from the corner, and asked, "Teacher Yang, what is this merman?" A type of zombie? It's not going to be another zombie formation like nine, right? ”

"It's not!" Professor Jia held the torch and slowly approached the merman in Yang You's mouth, and said: "The merman's fat is the fuel for the ever-bright lamp in the ancient tomb. It's just that what I didn't expect was ......"

When Professor Jia said this, he stretched out the torch in his hand into the merman's mouth, and after a while, as if he was doing a trick, a green light emanated from the merman's open mouth.

Professor Jia walked around the other three corners of the high platform, but every corner he walked, he lit a cluster of green firelight, and only when he walked back to the original place did he say: "It is very rare if there is a little mermaid fat in the tombs of other princes and generals, and there are so many in the tomb of the king of Nanyue, and there are also complete mermaids made into mermaid lamps to guard his coffin." If you can take it out, it's really ......."

I naturally understand the meaning of Professor Jia's words, but what I thought of was that the Lingnan region was originally by the sea, and the shipping of Nanyue was already very developed, and even the spread of Buddhism to the Lingnan region by sea could be scrutinized in the ancient tombs.

"Shall we open the coffin?" At this moment, Luo Dascar suddenly asked weakly.
