"How so?" Uncle Xu and Mo Ji asked.

"Look at the corpse we found under the blood thistle before, the military uniform on the body can be said to be full of holes......

"That's right, we thought we were shot by a crossbow arrow in the ramp!" Uncle Xu said.

"That's right! But now we can understand that those holes on the military uniform should be caused by the blood thistle seeds when they leave the human body after sucking enough blood. Master Liang said, "That means that these blood thistles existed before Cao Xuan and the others came, so I don't think these skulls have anything to do with Cao Xuan." ”

I nodded in agreement, "What Mr. Liang said makes sense, maybe these skulls are also the captives who built the Luo Palace?" Everyone nodded yes, after all, there was no better explanation at the moment.

At this time, I suddenly remembered another sentence in the "Qingyi Miscellaneous Records" that describes the blood thistle, that is, "The blood thistle does not grow without blood, and it does not live without a soul, so it cannot be born if it is not a place where the soul is sustenance." "When I saw those skeletons, I immediately understood that the so-called place of soul sustenance was these skulls.

After the seeds of the blood thistle fall to the ground, they drop blood into the soil and into the bones, and the bones and blood are combined, and then take root. The blood thistle is really a strange plant.

At this time, Tanzi walked up to me and whispered to me, "There are only skulls and no corpses here, it can't be a demon clan, right?" They all kept their skulls separately. ”

When the altar said this, it reminded me all at once. Yes, the Haiwan people have always believed that the human head is the homeplace of the soul after death, and the blood thistle is born through the soul, will it be considered a way for the dead to be reborn?

Could it be that this is really the mausoleum of the Haiwan tribe? It's also quite possible to think about it. The Haiwan clan worshiped and worshipped Xu Fu as a god, and it was logical for Xu Fu to bring the part of them who stayed in the Central Plains to live here and guard the Luo Palace. However, we've been in the Hidden Misty Mountains for so many days, and we haven't seen anyone or found any signs of anyone living here, so I guess the Haiwan people guarding here may have died a long time ago.

"Look, there's a gold tooth in this skull!" Someone suddenly shouted. There were also two people next to him who responded: "I have this in my hand too!" Immediately, someone began to pry the skull's jaw with a tool to remove the gold tooth.

"Don't move, these may be cultural relics!" Professor Jin was anxious, but no one listened to him. Not only did some of them pry, but others went on to pluck more blood thistles and find more gold.

"It's on!" Two people pry open the skeleton's teeth. But before they could put their hands in the skeleton's mouth, they saw a stream of black liquid shoot out of the skeleton's mouth. The two couldn't dodge and were shot in the face by the black liquid.

The two immediately let out a scream, then fell to the ground, and rolled back and forth on the ground in pain.

We went up and saw that the two of them had some slimy black liquid on their faces. They also had some on their hands, which they probably wanted to wipe with their hands, but it was more painful, so they didn't wipe their faces clean.

Faced with this sudden scene, those who were still prying the skeletons and the thistle immediately stopped their hands and looked at the two people rolling on the ground in horror. Fortunately, their hands were a little slower, otherwise they would have been lying on the ground and rolling.

Someone wanted to help them, and one of them, Xiao Chu, grabbed his hand fiercely by the person lying on the ground, and it was stained with black liquid, and he immediately screamed heartbreakingly.

At first, we thought they were only screaming because of pain, but Xiao Chu said that his hands were sore and itchy. The pain and itching do not come from the surface, but from the inside. The pain is the pain of the sword, the itch is the itch of ten thousand insects and bones, and the pain and itch spread quickly in the body, which is really unbearable.

Soon, the three men were also silent. However, what is strange is that when Xiao Chu and the three of them died, their faces looked very peaceful, and the black slime on their faces and hands slowly disappeared. Whether it was rubbed off or evaporated, no one knows.

None of us could have imagined that six people would die in the blink of an eye. Someone wanted to gather the bodies of the six of them together and find a place to bury them, but I and Master Liang stopped them.

"It's okay for the three people who died before, after all, we still know a little bit about the blood thistle. But what happened to Xiao Chu and the three of them, no one knows. I expressed my opinion, "As you saw just now, that thing can be infected as soon as it is touched. Although the black slime is gone, who can be sure that it will be fine? Isn't it, Mr. Leung? ”

Master Liang didn't speak, just looked at the bodies of Xiao Chu and the other three who fell to the ground. Suddenly, he said to Lu Daxun: "Captain Lu, give me a knife!" ”

"Is a dagger okay?"

"Yes!"

Lu Daxun then handed the dagger at his waist to Master Liang.

Master Liang took the dagger, flipped it in his hand, as if thinking about it again, and then walked towards the bodies of the three people.

I saw Master Liang walk in front of Xiao Chu's body, squatted down, raised the dagger in his hand, and stabbed Xiao Chu's leg......

"Hey, what are you doing!" "There's something wrong with you, everyone else is dead, and you want to harm him." Immediately someone shouted.

Master Liang ignored those people, just turned back to me and said, "Come and have a look!" ”

I knew he must have discovered something, so I walked over.

"What is this?" Seeing the current scene, I screamed directly. The others heard my cry and rushed over, but they all stayed on the spot.

I saw that the muscles in Xiao Chu's calf had been completely cut in half by the dagger, and a deep wound appeared in front of us. It stands to reason that Xiao Chu had just lost his breath for a few minutes, and the blood on his body could not have coagulated so quickly, but such a deep wound was cut open, but not a drop of blood flowed out. On the cut surface on both sides of the wound, there were dozens of worms the thickness of wool, which came out of the flesh in a curl. These insects are like earthworms, but they don't have the same links as earthworms, and they are like fish insects, but they are much larger than fish insects. As soon as the two insects on both sides touched, they immediately colluded together, fused into one, and then straightened up, as if pulling hard.

We waited for a few more minutes, and there were a lot more bugs at the wound, pulling at each other, like a connection to the wound.
