Silently walked forward for a while, Tie Niu first broke the silence and said: "I heard Grandpa Bai say before, corpse cockroaches survive by eating corpse meat, even if a large number of dead corpses are buried just below, how many years have they been, and they have already been corrupted into soil, why are there so many living corpse cockroaches?"

Bai Yang also didn't understand this problem, so he could only turn his head to look at Ding Lingling.

Ding Lingling said: "The corpse cockroach does survive by eating corpse meat, but ...... Many large tombs will have corpse cockroaches, but there are few such things in the cemeteries of poor families. Therefore, there is a theory that corpse cockroaches are not actually naturally generated, but were raised by people in ancient times with evil magic. After the rich man died, he used evil magic to seal the corpse in the tomb. If there are no living creatures in the tomb, these corpse insects will always be in a forbidden state, and once a living thing enters the tomb, these corpse insects will immediately wake up and attack the living creatures. In the final analysis, it is to use the corpse cockroach as a tool to guard the tomb. Just like ...... It's the same as the bone-eating fireflies you've encountered. ”

Her explanation was detailed and understood, and Tie Niu nodded again and again, and there was no doubt.

But Bai Yang kept frowning, and Tie Niu couldn't help but bump into him and said, "Lao Bai, don't be so sullen, I can't blame you for this matter at all!"

"But if I hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have made this mess today!" said Poplar, with another long sigh.

Ding Lingling glanced at him and said, "Tie Niu is right, there is indeed something down there, and it can be concluded that it must be something very valuable......!" I don't know what kind of magical ability you have, which will be very helpful to us in the process of searching for the tomb in the future, but because of this incident, we won't dare to open our mouths when we see strange phenomena in the future!"

Poplar smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Hongxing asked, "So what do we do now?"

"I don't know what to do, so I can only rush back to find my dad to find a way!" Ding Lingling said, glancing at Bai Yang, "Why don't Bai Yang go back with me, stay here in case the previous team member can't be saved, his colleagues and classmates will blame you!"

Poplar nodded, still at a loss.

Ding Lingling knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he immediately discussed with Hongxing Tieniu, and asked them to stay here for the time being to continue to learn archaeological skills and knowledge, and he and Bai Yang rushed back to Xi'an City first.

Iron Bull and Red Apricot naturally don't have much to say.

At that time, the traffic was not so convenient, and Ding Lingling could only go to the armed police team to borrow a car.

The captain of the armed police already knew what had happened in the morning, and when he heard that they wanted to rush back to Xi'an City to find a way to get rid of that little bug, he asked the driver to give them a ride without saying a word.

Rushing back to Xi'an city that day, Bai Yang followed Ding Lingling directly to Ding Sicheng's office.

didn't want the two of them to speak yet, Ding Sicheng saw the two of them coming in, and preemptively said, "You two came back just in time, I'm about to call someone to call you back!"

Bai Yang and Ding Lingling looked at each other, and Ding Lingling asked, "Is there another task?"

"Yes!" Ding Sicheng nodded with a gloomy face, "I just received the exact news from your Senior Brother Wang, he disappeared after entering an extremely old Miao village in Xiangxi!"

When he said this, he glanced at the poplar and explained a few more words: "In our country, there are many ethnic tribes hidden deep in the mountains, and they rarely interact with the outside world, and they do not want people from outside to go in and disturb them. ”

Poplar nodded in understanding. Ding Sicheng said: "I have a student, surnamed Wang, is also a member of the tomb search team, half a month ago he got the news that there is a very mysterious tomb in Miao District, Xiangxi, he went into Miao District to explore the news, but has not returned. Now that he has disappeared after entering a very old Miao village, I want you to visit that Miao village as well. ”

Bai Yang immediately stepped forward and said, "As long as Uncle Ding gives the order, I promise to complete the task!"

"But you have an injury on your leg, I'm afraid you have to rest for two days, right?" Ding Lingling said worriedly.

"It's not a small injury!" Poplar smiled indifferently.

Ding Sicheng hurriedly asked what happened, Ding Lingling told the truth, Ding Sicheng frowned, walked back and forth in the room twice, and then said: "That's it, I'll arrange someone else to do this matter!" Bai Yang hurried to go to the hospital to see the leg injury first, if it didn't matter, then set off with Tie Niu early tomorrow morning. ”

Poplar hurriedly agreed. Ding Lingling asked, "What about me?"

"You can't be idle!" replied Ding Sicheng, "but you can't go together, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the Miao people." So...... I want Baiyang and Tie Niu to set off first, and you and Hongxing and you Xiang Senior Brother will follow. ”

"Senior Brother Xiang has always been by my father's side, and as soon as he leaves, won't there be less capable people around my father?" Ding Lingling said.

"There's no way, now your Senior Brother Wang's whereabouts are unknown, and ...... It's not a simple thing to go deep into Miao Village! Besides, Poplar Tie Niu and Red Apricot are all newcomers, and I am still a little uneasy after all, so this time I will let you lead the team to Senior Brother and leave Xiaopang by my side to assist me. But after this time, it's up to you to do it all yourselves!"

Hearing that he was thoughtful, Bai Yang hurriedly said: "With Senior Brother Xiang leading the team, we will all be much more down-to-earth in our hearts! Uncle Ding rest assured, we will definitely fully cooperate with Senior Brother Xiang!"

Ding Sicheng nodded, and said: "You and Tie Niu will go to Yongshun County, Xiangxi, Hunan Province first, and ask the local government to arrange a guide to take you into the mountains to Miao Village." I've informed the local government through my connections, but remember that you're not a member of a grave search team, but a writer who has gone into the mountains to collect style. ”

"Writer?" Poplar was embarrassed, "Can I pretend to be a writer?"

"What's not to do, the writer doesn't write on his face, and no one will rely on your writing ability!"

Ding Sicheng smiled, but it may have been the missing student, and his face quickly sank again.

Bai Yang and Ding Lingling didn't dare to disturb, and hurriedly retreated quietly, knowing that Ding Sicheng would arrange someone to go to the Terracotta Warriors excavation site, they didn't have to worry about notifying Tie Niu and Hongxing to rush back, Ding Lingling took the initiative to accompany Bai Yang to the hospital to check the wound.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious, but at Ding Lingling's insistence, Baiyang still took anti-inflammatory injections, took some medicine, and the wound was bandaged by the doctor.

After that, Ding Lingling accompanied Baiyang to the train station to buy two tickets to Hunan, and not long after returning to the dormitory, Tie Niu and Hongxing also rushed back.

That night, he slept well, and the next morning he got on the train, and after more than 20 hours on the road, he finally arrived in Yueyang.

The two of them couldn't take a break, so they got on a long-distance bus and rushed to Zhangjiajie, the nearest to Yongshun County.

When I arrived in Zhangjiajie, it was already night, and Baiyang Tieniu was exhausted by car, so I first found a hotel to sleep for a night, and then took the first long-distance bus to Yongshun County early the next morning.

Yongshun County is a mountainous county, and the county seat is similar to a township in the plain area.

Bai Yang and Tie Niu rushed to Yongshun County at nearly eleven o'clock, and it was easy to find the county government, and as soon as they went in to report their names, a middle-aged cadre soon came out to receive them, and they opened their mouths with a smile and called them "Comrade Writers."

Iron Bull grinned and didn't care, but Poplar blushed a little.

The cadre was very enthusiastic, and originally wanted to invite the iron bull Baiyang to have a meal, but Baiyang only said that he was in a hurry, and the cadre was not reluctant, and soon brought the guide who had already helped them find a good guide.

According to the guide, the Miao village they were going to was called Wuyun Village, which was hidden deep in the reckless mountains, and they had to set off early in the morning and arrive at the place in the evening.

But if you set off now, you'll have to spend the night in the mountains.

Bai Yang said: "I heard that Miao Village is not very willing for outsiders to enter the village, if we arrive at night, can we find a place to stay?"

"I'm afraid not!" the guide immediately shook his head, "I'm also a Miao myself, but I'm of the same clan as them, so it's impossible for me to stay overnight in someone's house even if I go in." ”

"And what will we do when we arrive in the evening?" Iron Bull asked.

"You can't enter the village at night, these people never have contact with outsiders, so they are very defensive, if we arrive at night, we can only sleep in the nearby mountains for a night, and wait for the next day after dawn to enter the village." ”

"Then we might as well set off at once, and spend the night in the mountains camping out for the night!" said Poplar.

The guide nodded and said, "I don't care, it's just that there are many wild beasts in the mountains, although most of those beasts don't take the initiative to attack people, but the howl sounds quite scary, as long as the two writer comrades are not afraid!"

"I'm not a writer, I'm a good buddy of this writer comrade, and I'm here to accompany him into the mountains this time!" Tie Niu smiled, "So I'm not afraid of beasts, so I don't know if Comrade Writer is afraid!"

Bai Yang glanced at the iron bull, and was about to answer, but the guide smiled and said, "No wonder, I see that your comrade is tall and tall, and he doesn't look like a writer, but like a soldier!"

"You're right, I used to be a soldier, otherwise why would this writer comrade ask me to accompany him into the mountains?

"Alright, don't talk nonsense, let's see what we need to prepare, and let's get into the mountain as soon as possible!" said Poplar.

Naturally, the guide had no opinion. pointed out what Poplar Iron Bull needed to buy and bring it, and Poplar Iron Bull naturally complied one by one.
