Chapter Sixty-Four: Poison Wood Thorns

At this time, the beard's hands began to itch, he walked to the snake figure in front of the Yaowang Temple, and began to stroke the stone statue, and at the same time, the itching of the beard's hands disappeared instantly.

"Don't mess around, you're not afraid of touching any mechanism." I whispered.

"This thing is so big, set up such a stone statue in front of the temple, it seems that the people of this Dian Kingdom are indeed very important to the snake, you look at the snake body, the carving is really exactly the same as the real snake."

I have already walked to the door of the Yaowang Temple, the temple gate is a wooden structure, I have noticed when I came with Dog Er that day, an uncommon wood, it should be made of local materials, but this wood exudes a fragrance.

The temple door is closed, and the situation inside the temple can be seen through the gap in the wooden door, and two lamps are lit under the clay statue of the central medicine king.

There is no lock on the door, but it can't be opened, and I'll take a look. He is good at opening coffins and should know a little about the structure of such doors. The mustache stepped forward and pushed it gently, but the door did not move, "There is no lock in the middle, it should be a hidden lock, in the position of contact with the door frame." ”

Mustache took out a small iron hook, scratched a few times on both sides, and then touched the crack of the door with his hand, oops, Mustache was accidentally pricked by the wooden thorns on the door, when he reached out again to put the small iron hook into the gap, suddenly trembled a little, and then fell to the ground.

"Poisonous!" After barely saying two words, Bazihu lay straight on the ground and couldn't move, clutching his chest as if he had a heart attack.

In a hurry, I hurriedly took out the pills given by Hua Tuo and stuffed them into the mouth of the mustache, and poured a bottle of mineral water into him. After a few minutes, the mustache was able to move.

I looked at the wooden door of Yaowang Temple, and I saw that on both sides of the wooden door, there were some small wooden thorns that were not easy to detect, and the wooden thorns were white, as if they were smeared with white paint.

I was shocked, this is most likely poison arrow, a highly poisonous tree that grows in tropical rainforests, also known as blood sealing throats, a tree that grows mostly in rainforests at lower altitudes, with milky white sap, is a highly poisonous plant and medicinal plant. The milky white juice of the arrow poison wood contains highly poisonous, once it comes into contact with human and animal wounds, it can make the poisoned person's heart paralyzed, blood vessels closed, blood coagulation, and even suffocation to death, so people call it "seeing blood and sealing the throat".

During the ancient Dian Kingdom, people used tree sap as arrow poison to shoot wild beasts; If a person is injured or injured, the venom enters the wound and will soon be poisoned and killed.

The mustache had eased up, "This gap is full of stingers, and the secret locks must be on both sides." ”

"Get out of the way."

He asked me if I had given him a quick-acting heart-saving pill, and just now he clearly felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.

The secret lock was opened, and Bazihu didn't dare to push the door with his hands this time, but took out a shovel and opened the door open, I guess his shovel was used for tomb robbery and excavation.

After entering, the eight-character beard was first attracted by the clay sculpture of the king of medicine, he approached the clay sculpture, and wanted to see the things under the clay sculpture, but he might as well be startled by a thing next to the clay sculpture, snake!

A snake with its head held high and coiled around a vessel.

We dodged back, but the snake did not move, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a snake-shaped net, which had been unearthed in the archaeological community, but so far scholars have not determined what this thing was used for in ancient times.

The snake-shaped mesh is placed below the clay sculpture, and the main body is a snake, with a high head, round eyes, open teeth and teeth, a fierce appearance, a curved snake belly, and a snake tail raised to form a prototype chisel; The lower recess of the snake's abdomen is welded with a net pocket.

"Serpentine Sacrificial Vessels!" Bazi Hu blurted out.

"You know?"

"Well, there is an introduction in ancient books, this is a vessel for sacrificing evil gods, during the slave society, the head of the slave was cut off and put into this net pocket, and then blood was poured into the tail hole at the back, and the blood would gush out from the mouth of the snake."

"It's so cruel, this ancient Dian Kingdom worships evil gods, and it seems that it is all related to snakes."

The last time I came, I didn't see this kind of sacrificial utensils in Yaowang Temple, could it be that Yaowangmen was going to carry out some sacrificial activities? Otherwise, under the clay sculpture of the medicine king, there is not only a snake-shaped mesh, but on the other side of it, there are more than a dozen.

Regardless of whether the sacrifice is sacrificed or not, it is the right thing to find the shallot leaf rue, I bypassed the clay sculpture and walked backwards, and the eight-character beard also followed backwards, the space behind is not very large, there are stone walls on three sides, lifelike snakes are depicted on the stone walls, and there are several strange stone statues on the ground. I went up the stairs to the upper room, the scene in the upper room was the same as that day, there were a few straw mats on the floor, and there was no sign of Meng Xuan, I remember that day he had put the medicine bag here, but on a wooden table, there was only a wooden board full of words.

There was no one, so did they all go to the sacrifice?

At this time, someone came from outside the stone window.

"Are you ready over there?" One person said.

"Alright."

"Hmm."

It's the voice of the Celestial Worm.

"Hey, master, why is the door open?"

Meng Chi looked in front of the door, and then looked up at the stone window, but he only said, "Maybe our people forgot to close it." ”

The two entered the temple, Meng Chi stood in front of the clay statue of the medicine king, muttered a few words that we didn't understand, and then walked to the back, stood in front of a stone wall, pushed with his hand, a stone door opened, he looked back, and led his men into the dark room behind the stone door.

"There's a dark room." Eight-character nonsense.

"Well, let's go down and have a look."

We went to the lower room, reached for the stone door, and it opened. A stone staircase that stretched down came into view, and I looked at the mustache and began to walk down the steps.

Walking to the end of the stone steps, there was another stone door, I stretched out my hand to push it open, wondering, why did these stone doors not have a lock, could it be that Meng Qi forgot to lock the door?

Behind the stone door, there is a large secret room, like a rotunda hall, in the center of the hall, is a round stone table, about five meters in diameter, on the stone table, scattered with some sundries, some of which turned out to be empty shells of insects, it seems that this is their dinner, burning insects.

The stone table is not exactly a stone table, in the center of the stone table, there is a pool, and in the pool is a viscous liquid, but there is nothing else in the hall, but the worm has disappeared.

There must have been a stone door that could lead to other places, and I searched around the stone wall with Bazihu, and finally found a snake-like mechanism in a corner, and I twisted the mechanism, and the stone door slowly opened.

It's another step, but it's much wider than the previous stone steps, and after passing through the stone steps, the space becomes extremely open, and it should be a large hall, and the space is huge.

Just as he was thinking, the hall suddenly lit up, and there were several large braziers above, which were lit at the same time, and after the brazier was lit, countless small braziers in the hall also followed. The braziers, large and small, are all shaped like snake heads, and the snake body is coiled into a basin shape.

Immediately after, a chilling laugh rang out in the main hall.

"Why did Mr. Xia come late at night?" Meng Chi walked out of the corner of the main hall, the difference was that he was wearing a snake-faced mask.

"I'm here to find shallot leaves and rue to save people, but I might as well walk into your secret room, if Brother Mengqi still has fresh shallot leaves, you can give it to me, I'll hurry to save people."

Meng Chi laughed and said: "The son is an immortal, why worry about a leaf of shallots and rue." ”

"Immortals save people, and they also need nectar."

"The shallots are there, and the son can use them for himself." Meng Chi pointed to a stone statue in the main hall and said.

The statue was on a stone wall in the main hall, and the stone wall had been carved into a recess, and the stone statue stood in the middle, and I could faintly see that on the stone platform under the stone statue, there seemed to be some leaves of plants.

"Watch out for his tricks." Eight-character nonsense.

It's a trick, and for the sake of the shallot leaf rue, even if I only get a few leaves, it's enough. I walked out of the stone forest and walked towards the stone statue, which was still a monster with a human face and a snake body.

Meng Chi stood on a stone platform, holding a scepter in his hand, I am now worried that there is something wrong with his scepter, in case it is with a magic scepter, casting a spell on me, ten thousand snakes, I am afraid that I will have to go back with a group of poisonous snakes, besides, how do I see that the scepter in his hand is like a stiff snake, black all over, and scales, the other end of the scepter is a hideous tongue, at the end of the tail, it is still a snake head.

I had already walked up the steps, slowly approaching the stone statue, and when I approached the stone statue, I smelled a snake again, I had a super sensitive sense of smell, I clenched the pistol in my hand, there may be several poisonous snakes around this stone statue, this Meng Xuan will not let me easily get the shallots and rue.

There was a cool breeze from behind the stone statue, which means that the back of the stone statue is empty, I saw that the shallot leaf rue was placed on the stone platform, it seems, there are still a few leaves are fresh, I bent down to pick up the shallot leaf rue, I picked two fresher leaves and picked them up, and was about to put them in my pocket, at this time, there was a stronger snake smell behind the stone statue, and there was an evil wind.
