Chapter 131: Corpse Maggots

In the case of no water, using soil to extinguish the fire is also a very effective means, our three men no longer hesitate at the moment, one of them began to shovel the soil to extinguish the fire, with a spade of soil covered on the fire, the fire was gradually suppressed a lot, not long after, the whole coffin has been covered with loess, the open flame has completely disappeared, only some smoke slowly emerged along the soil cracks.

The three of us were all sweating, sitting on the edge of the big pit that had just been dug out of breath, and we wanted to find saliva to drink, but when we looked back and saw the empty bottles on the ground, we could only swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Looking at the bulging hill, which was exactly the same as the grave, I sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the result would be the same in the end, it seems that Xiaoyue will be buried in the ground after all." ”

"Maybe that's her last wish." Liu Da wiped the sweat from his head and began to shovel up the soil again, "Put more soil on it, you have to tamp it down, otherwise it won't be extinguished." ”

I waved my hand and said, "You do it first, I'll rest for a while, my arms are sore." ”

While the two of us were talking, we heard a metal impact, Liu Da's hand was numb, and the folding shovel almost came off, I asked him to stop first, and jumped into the pit full of doubts, picking up the broken soil to take a look, but he was so dazzled by a bright light that he couldn't open his eyes.

"Ouch, it can't be a treasure, right?" Liu Da suddenly became excited, put aside his sadness in an instant, and jumped down from above.

I squinted and moved my headlamp to the side, so I could see what was underground.

I saw a thick cylinder lying horizontally on the ground, with its ends sticking out into the earth, not knowing where it leads, this cylinder is about one meter in diameter, like a thick underground drainage pipe.

The pipe was illuminated by the light, and the golden light was very dazzling. I suppressed my excitement and asked Liu Da in disbelief, "Gilded?" ”

When I asked him like this, Liu Da came back from the shock, wiped a handful of harazi and squatted down to study it carefully, and suddenly, he laughed wildly: "Rich, rich, I didn't expect my fat man to have such a day!" Hahaha. ”

He pointed to a gap in the pipeline and said, "Look, this is the gap that was made by the shovel just now, and the section is all golden, which is gold-plated, and it is clearly all made of gold!" ”

I took a closer look at the gap, and sure enough, as he said, it was made entirely of gold, not as simple as gilding copper and iron.

The texture of the gold is soft, and it was poked into half a finger deep by the sharp folding shovel, just when I was thinking, Liu Da had already picked up the shovel again and dug it along the side of the pipe, digging and longing: "Even if it is not a solid golden pillar, it is enough to be chic for half a lifetime to do a small section casually, and I don't know how long this thing is, when I pull it up, it is enough to become the richest man, why are you still stunned, help dig it, time is money." ”

"That's ...... That's not good. At this time, Shao Shiquan, who was stunned, finally came back to his senses and said, "This ...... This is the property of the State, which cannot be appropriated for oneself and must be reported to the State. ”

As soon as he said this, I knew that something bad was going to happen, according to Liu Fatzi's character of treating money as his life and his violent temper, he was bound to turn his face, if Professor Yang was an old pedant, he might be able to suppress him, but now, ......

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Da's excavation stopped, his smiling face immediately pulled down, and he slowly turned around to face Shao Shiquan with a folding shovel.

At this time, Liu Da's eyes were red, obviously angered by his words, and no one knew what he was going to do next.

Shao Shiquan saw the other party's face and knew that he was in trouble, and retreated back in a daze, the soil in this pit was dug by us, and he fell to the ground on his back without paying attention.

"Fat man...... Calm down...... "I sweat on my forehead, and I curse angrily in my heart, this Shao Shiquan can't open any pot, let's hand over these things to the public is tantamount to snatching food in the tiger's mouth, now it's okay, it completely touched Liu Da's reverse scales, it's strange that he doesn't get hairy."

Liu Da stared at Shao Shiquan with both eyes, and when he saw me stretching out his hand to block him, he pushed me away, and I was pulled by him and stuck directly to the pit wall, obviously, I couldn't stop him at all with my own strength.

Liu Da...... ! I shouted, "Calm down, let's discuss something, don't do stupid things." ”

At this time, Yu Aiting and Lan Lan, who had been staying above, poked their heads out of the pit when they heard the movement, and they were immediately stunned when they saw this posture.

After all, Shao Shiquan is just an IT man and an archaeological man, where is the opponent of a tomb robber like Liu Da, he supported the ground with his hands in shock, and slowly retreated back, but this pit is not big, and he retreated to the edge of the pit wall in two clicks, and there is no way out.

Liu Da completely ignored my words, gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Tzu is what he does, over the years, he has experienced countless lives and deaths, but he has never had the opportunity to get something valuable. Lao Tzu did you! ”

"Brother Da, this kid is not sensible, don't worry about it, these are all yours, whoever wants to rob me is in a hurry." I had no choice but to say this to appease him.

I also hoped that after I said this, I would be able to dissolve the anger in his heart, but who would have thought that Shao Shiquan's kid would not be enlightened at all, and muttered against the wall in horror: "This is illegal...... I'm going to go to prison. ”

Don't talk about Liu Da at this time, even I want to beat him, I saw that this kid was very clever before, how could he be so serious about this kind of thing?

Liu Da picked up the folding shovel and was about to slap it on Shao Shiquan's head, if this was slapped on the head, he would definitely be able to shoot out his brains, Yu Aiting and Lan Lan covered their eyes with a scream, I was in a hurry, hugged Liu Da's waist from behind, and shouted loudly to Shao Shiquan, who was stunned: "You TM run fast!" ”

Shao Shiquan turned over and climbed up the pit when he heard this, fortunately, the pit we dug was not very high, and he climbed up in three or two clicks, Liu Da pulled my arm away suddenly, and actually slapped a shovel at me, he was completely red-eyed, and he didn't recognize it at all.

Suddenly, a scream came from overhead, I thought it was Yu Aiting and Lan Lan who were frightened by the scene where Liu Da was going to kill me, but I heard Yu Aiting shouting: "There are a lot of insects under your feet!" ”

Where can I take care of a lot at this time, at the moment when the folding shovel was patted down, the body bowed and rolled a lazy donkey, slipped from between Liu Da's split legs to his back, raised his leg and kicked on his fat buttocks, the huge rebound force almost made me break my foot, Liu Da was already focused forward, and I kicked it so that he suddenly lost his balance, and fell on the golden pipe, and at the same time, the folding shovel in his hand also pierced into the pipe.

I suddenly felt a strange itch in my back, and I reached out to touch it, and a soft little insect was caught in the palm of my hand, and when I took it to see in front of me, it turned out to be a long worm like a locust.

It was thick and short, about the size of an adult's thumb, translucent overall, with a faint layer of gold dust on its surface.

The texture of this thing is as soft as silicone, there is a small suction cup at each end, and if I look closely, there seems to be a hose like a hair in the suction cup, I instantly understood what it was, and I shook it off in horror, and quickly got up from the ground, shaking my body vigorously, for fear that there would be some lying on my body.

"Ouch ****, why does it hurt so much?" At this moment, Liu Da covered his forehead and got up from the ground, as if he didn't know what had just happened.

"Huh? Why do you have so many bugs on your legs? Liu Da asked in surprise.

I stomped my foot and slapped the bugs on my legs and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you have it on your legs, shoot it down, don't be bitten, this thing is poisonous!" ”

He looked at the same as on his legs, and quickly patted the trouser tube like me, and I saw that there were more and more insects on the surface of the gold pipe, and I couldn't care about anything else, so I beckoned Liu Da and climbed up along the pit wall.

After confirming that there were no potential safety hazards on my body, I was much more relieved, and when I looked at the pothole, the surface was covered with a layer of insects, and some were constantly superimposed upwards, at this time I noticed that Liu Da's folding shovel inserted in the gold pipe had fallen to the side, leaving only half a handle, but the shovel head had disappeared, which confirmed my conjecture even more.

"It's disgusting, what are those?" Lan Lan covered her mouth and almost didn't spit it out, her face was very ugly.

"I'll tell you later, it's imperative to get rid of them." As I spoke, I beckoned to Shao Shiquan and said, "Come here, what are you doing hiding so far away?" ”

Shao Shiquan looked at Liu Da with some fear, of course I knew what he was worried about, so he said, "It's okay, I'll explain to you later." ”

He knew that I would not harm him, and with my assurance, he walked up to me and asked, "Sharp...... Brother Feng, what's the matter? ”

"Bring me my bag, quick."

I looked at the dense insects in the pit vigilantly, and did not dare to relax my vigilance at all, if those insects crawl on smooth objects, the speed is very amazing, their powerful suction cups are the best crawling tools, but the walls of this pit are full of soil, although they have lost their mobility advantage, although they crawl slowly, but they can't stand up to a large number, once they are allowed to climb up, it will be a very big threat.

Shao Shiquan saw that I really couldn't get out, so he quickly found my backpack, found two black glass bottles and a bulging sealed bag and handed them to me as I instructed.

I handed Liu Da the sealed bag and said, "You sprinkle these realgar powder evenly." ”

After saying that, I unscrewed the two bottles, and a strong smell of urine suddenly came out.

"I'll go, what the hell is this, why does it smell of urine?" Yu Aiting pinched her nose and moved away from me.

"It's urine, it's a good thing, it's hard to get your hands on." I smiled, "The boy who is less than eight years old pees on ghosts and evil spirits." ”

Saying that, I shook it vigorously in the pit, the boy urinated, and suddenly became angry, and the insects in the pit curled up and rolled as if they had been poured boiling oil, and at this time Liu Da had already sprinkled the realgar powder in the air, and all the insects that were stained instantly opened and turned into a puddle of yellow water at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In fact, before this, I was still skeptical about these two things, after experiencing the Meiling Emperor's Mausoleum and Jingmen's obvious mausoleum and palace incidents, I remembered the past that my grandmother said, so I specially prepared some for emergency this trip, so as to verify the authenticity of the story, and now I saw that those insects instantly disappeared into invisibility, and I was instantly relieved.

Liu Da watched the insects struggle with great interest, and asked casually, "What are these things?" Why is it so much like a locust? ”

I gave him a definite answer directly, "This is the grasshopper, different from the grasshopper that lives in the water, these belong to the drought locust, the drought locust has a fierce and violent temperament, and sucks things when they see them, unlike the water locust, the water locust sucks blood, and the drought locust sucks essence, and at the same time will secrete hallucinogenic venom from the hose in the suction cup while sucking, although this venom is not fatal, but it can make the person concerned not feel pain, and it can also stimulate a very heavy anger, and when the person reacts, he either self-harms or kills, and the essence is sucked out. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people's health is regulated by the state of essence and spirit, and people who lack essence will inevitably die in the end. By the way, I forgot to tell you, this kind of drought locust is also known as corpse maggots, mostly lives in places with a more humid climate, and likes to parasitize in the bone barrel of corpses, and is in a state of sleep all year round, once there is a close approach to popularity, it will wake up from sleep, which is very evil. ”

"I just met a corpse bear, and now there is a bunch of corpse maggots, it seems that there must be an ancient tomb here." Liu Da analyzed.

I nodded and shook my head, saying something that made everyone feel a little creepy, "Perhaps, we're in the tomb." ”

Whether it is from the geographical orientation or from the long-term darkness, this place is very in line with the environment of the underground world, the only thing that makes us scratch our heads is the surrounding forest, how can these trees grow in the underground world, and survive without light? And judging from the height of this canopy, if it really grows in an ancient tomb, how big this ancient tomb should be, it feels a little scary to think about.

I saw that Shao Shiquan seemed to be very wary of Liu Da, knowing that he was frightened by Liu Da's abnormal behavior just now, in order to dispel the mustard in his heart, I used a headlamp to shine on Liu Da's back to help him check his body, and Liu Da was also busy checking his chest and stomach to see if he had been bitten by a corpse maggot.

Sure enough, on the back of Liu Da's neck, a fingertip-sized purple mark was particularly conspicuous, I took a closer look, there was a pinhole-sized hole in the center of the mark, which was obviously the place where the corpse maggot was injected with venom, which confirmed my conjecture, after all, I didn't know the existence of the corpse maggot, this was all when I was a child, I heard my grandmother talk about when she followed her master to Guangxi when she was a child, and only discovered such a species, because of the scarcity and concealment, so it was not recorded in the book of the Eight Classics, according to grandma's master, That is, the old Taoist inferred that this kind of thing should only grow in Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and the neighboring areas of Vietnam, but I didn't expect that by accident, I really encountered this mysterious and hateful thing.

I called Shao Shiquan forward and pointed to Liu Da's collar on the back of his neck, and he realized that I was not blindly excusing Liu Da, but there was a reason.

Yu Aiting took out iodine wine, tablets and syringe bottles from her bag, Liu Da jumped three feet high and said: "Iodine wine can be rubbed, and tablets can also be eaten, but don't inject it." ”

"Brother Xiaofeng, forget it, you, a man with five big and three thick colors, are you still afraid of injections?" Yu Aiting was angry and funny, handed me the iodine wine, and then asked Liu Da to take the anti-inflammatory medicine, and after absorbing the potion, she said in an undoubted tone: "Stretch out your arm." ”

Liu Da dodged again and again, and Yu Aiting said angrily: "Didn't you listen to Brother Xiaofeng, that corpse maggot uses human bones as a shelter, and it must carry the virus, plus you have been bitten by it, there must still be this venom in the blood, be careful to become a thoughtless brainless young man." ”

When she said this, Liu Da couldn't help but hesitate and asked weakly, "What kind of potion is this?" If it's glucose or something, forget it, I don't need to make up for my physique. ”

Yu Aiting said helplessly: "Antibiotic medicine, by the way, do you have a history of allergies?" Why don't you do a skin test first? ”

Liu Da instantly shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, I'm not allergic to anything." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Aiting had already plunged the needle into his arm.

Caught off guard, Liu Da was taken aback, but before he could escape, all the potions in the syringe were pushed into the blood vessels.

This little episode somewhat eased the tense atmosphere, and when I saw that the corpse maggots in the pit had completely disappeared, leaving only a large yellowish trace, I jumped down the pit, because I suddenly felt that these corpse worms appeared too suddenly, and seemed to have a great deal to do with the golden pipe, what is the connection between the two?
