The team members wearing protective suits opened the lid of the tin box, and a terrible and disgusting centipede appeared inside.

The two officers put on thicker gloves, used tweezers and a screwdriver, and with great effort, got rid of the centipede wrapped around the bricks, and then placed the bricks on the ground.

Zhou Xiaolong and Long Linna looked down, it was not an ordinary green brick, there were many patterns on it, it should be said to be a relief.

"This brick is not simple, it should be an ancient brick." Long Linna said.

"Yes, a tomb brick, to be exact." Zhou Xiaolong said.

"Master, you said that this brick is a brick from an ancient tomb, that is an antique, isn't it very valuable?!" Ouyang Lei smiled and said.

"Hey, Da Lei, why are you full of money in your head?!" Zhou Xiaolong glanced at Ouyang Lei with hatred.

"Xiaolong, you say, are the bricks in this ancient tomb exquisite?!" Long Linna asked.

"Yes, the tomb bricks are definitely used to raise centipedes," Zhou Xiaolong nodded, he guessed, "Because the tomb bricks are very ancient, and in the ancient tombs, the yin qi is generally extremely heavy." ”

Indeed, compared with ordinary bricks and stones, tomb bricks are naturally heavier yin, and it just so happens that centipedes are insects that like to live under damp bricks, if you don't believe it, in a cool and damp place in the countryside, casually open a brick, there must be centipedes below.

The reason why a tomb brick was deliberately used is, in fact, it is all artificial.

Zhou Xiaolong further guessed that the person who lived in this hut before was the old woman who died in bed.

This old woman, I don't know why, raised a big centipede with evil magic, and it is estimated that she has been raising it for many years.

Tomb bricks and iron boxes are all props for raising centipedes, as for what purpose he raised such a big centipede, Zhou Xiaolong didn't know, anyway, it wouldn't be a good thing.

As a result, the centipede became more and more powerful and became a spirit, and the old woman was getting older, and when she was about to die, she was attacked by the big centipede.

Then, the centipede essence turned into the figure of an old woman, and continued to live in this small black house, living in a simple house, continuing to cultivate, anyway, he would definitely not dare to go out during the day.

However, if this house is to be demolished, the centipede essence must be inseparable from here, this is the nest where the centipede essence cultivates, so the centipede essence turns into the figure of an old woman, resists the demolition team, refuses to move, and becomes a nail household.

Fortunately, the centipede spirit in this black room was discovered early by Zhou Xiaolong and Long Linna, and when they didn't hurt more people, they subdued it.

After cleaning up the iron box under the bed and the dried corpse of the old woman, the demolition work can be successfully completed.

Just as he was talking about this, the two police officers in protective suits just now walked up to Long Linna and asked for instructions that they saw that the centipede seemed to be moving again, and it didn't seem to be completely dead, whether it was burned to death by fire.

As the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, not to mention that the centipede has become the climate, how can it die so easily?

However, it is definitely not possible to burn it with fire, Zhou Xiaolong hurriedly stopped the two police officers and said: "Wait a minute, this centipede is very big, it is considered a highly poisonous thing, if it is burned to death, there will be smoke coming out, it is also poisonous, so it cannot be destroyed here, and besides, this centipede itself is also a good medicinal material, if the centipede is dried and made into traditional Chinese medicine, it can be used reasonably, and maybe it can save people, why burn it so pity?" ”

Long Linna was not in the mood to listen to this, so she said to Zhou Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, otherwise, this centipede will be handed over to you to deal with by yourself, it doesn't matter how you get it, we will go back!" ”

As soon as Zhou Xiaolong heard this, he nodded happily, and when Long Linna drove away with a few police officers, only Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei were left.

"Master, this bed bug is so disgusting, let those police take it away, what are you going to do, why are you making trouble for yourself?!" Ouyang Lei asked puzzled.

"Da Lei, don't you know, this big centipede is a once-in-a-lifetime treasure, I sincerely didn't make it clear to Officer Long, so as not to be confiscated?!"

"Oh, I'll go, Master, what's the use of this big bug?!"

"Da Lei, haven't you heard that centipedes are treasures all over their bodies?!"

"I'll go, how is the version I heard that Yuzu is a treasure all over his body?!"

"Let's not talk about this first, let me tell you, the bigger the centipede, the longer it lives, the easier it is to grow a stone in the head, in fact, it is a stone, the bigger the centipede, the bigger the stone in the brain, because it is black, this kind of thing, called centipede ink by experts, is a legendary treasure......"

"Really, what's the use of that?!" Ouyang Lei's spirit was aroused.

"It is said that as long as you bring this centipede ink on your body, you will go to the grass in the summer, and no mosquito will dare to approach your body, don't you say it's very powerful?!"

"Oh, I thought it was something valuable, but it turns out that the effect is similar to that of wind oil essence?" Ouyang Lei said with some dejection.

"Hey, Da Lei, you didn't understand what I meant." Zhou Xiaolong emphasized.

"Then what do you mean?!" Ouyang Lei asked rhetorically.

"Da Lei, we are studying archaeology, maybe we will often go out to engage in activities in the future, even if we don't go to archaeology, we have to often go out to make money, last time in Sydney Village, weren't you bitten by mosquitoes all over your body? Therefore, in our line of work, mosquito bites are terrible, hehe, with this centipede ink in the future, wouldn't we be afraid......"

"Hey, Master, when I heard you say this, it seems that this thing is pretty good, so let's stop talking nonsense, let's get it quickly?!" Ouyang Lei smiled, rubbed his hands and said.

"However, if you want to take this centipede ink out of the centipede's head, you have to touch the centipede with your hands, and when you think about it, I feel disgusted, I don't want to do it myself......" Zhou Xiaolong grinned and looked at Ouyang Lei.

"Ah, Master, don't look at me, I don't dare, I've been afraid of insects since I was a child, even cockroaches, let alone such a big centipede......"

"This kind of dirty work, why don't we find Luo Taiping, Luo Taiping opened a store to operate this kind of strange thing, I'll call him and ask."

Saying that, Zhou Xiaolong made a phone call to Luo Taiping and told Luo Taiping that he had now encountered a once-in-a-lifetime big centipede, which was a superb medicinal material, and asked him if he was interested?

Luo Taiping is an insider, he was immediately excited, and said that he would come over to take a look immediately.

It didn't take long for Luo Taiping to arrive at the place, this guy was really experienced, and he was actually holding a long bamboo skewer in his hand.

One end of the bamboo skewer has been sharpened, and it looks one size bigger than the one on the skewer.
