The young man's eyes were still timid, and only after hearing the gentle voice of my second senior brother did he raise his head slightly.

His eyes looked at us, as if to know who we were, whether we were good or bad.

"Don't be afraid, we just want to ask for directions, nothing else." I said next to me.

The young man nodded, raised his hand, pointed in the direction of the northeast and said, "Over there, it's not far from here." ”

After speaking, the young man's eyes rolled, and he said timidly, "Do you want to go to the worm hole?" ... Don't go over there, it's dangerous, there's a lot of bugs in there. And... And I've been in there too, and I've seen strange dead people. ”

The young man's words surprised me and the second senior brother.

After the two of us glanced at each other, my second senior brother couldn't wait to ask, "Strange dead man?" ... Kid, who are you referring to? ”

The boy looked at his flock, and when he saw that the flock had not gone far, he said, "It's a dead man in strange clothes." The dead people seem to be ancient people, they are all wearing armor, I have seen it on TV. ”

Dead person? Wearing armor?

This... What's going on?

I thought of the words of the grocery store owner Wang Liang.

He said that the rumor worm cave was connected to a tomb from the Han Dynasty. If it's connected to a teenager... In other words, it is likely that the boy accidentally went to the tomb after entering the worm hole, and saw what he called "strange dead people" in the tomb. ”

My second senior brother seemed to have thought of this as well, but his face was very calm, so he asked, "Isn't the strange dead person you said rotten?" ”

After all, the young man is fourteen or fifteen years old, and he understands what my second senior brother means.

He replied, "No, the dead did not rot." And... It's not like they're completely dead either. I remember touching a dead man's hand, and the dead man's fingers moved...... Later, I got scared and left over there. ”

From the eyes of this teenager, I can be sure that he is not lying.

If so, those "strange dead people" are most likely zombies in the tombs. The zombie's body did not decay, but because it sensed the anger in the boy's body, it moved.

That's what the sheep herding boy said... Fingers moved.

However, since this young man had been to the Worm Cave and entered the tomb, he must be quite familiar with the Worm Cave.

Thinking of this, I said to him, "Little friend, why don't you take us to the worm hole?" ... Big brother, I can show you the passage fee, you can as much as you want. ”

My second senior brother stood aside to answer the call, and said with a smile: "Yes, little friend, you can take us over." We can give you a lot of money. With all this money, you can go to school. After all, sheep herding is not a good job. ”

"You're still so young, you should study hard and go out into the outside world."

But unexpectedly, this teenager directly rejected us: "No! I don't want your money, I can make it myself. And my mom is sick and I have to take care of her at home. My mom said that the worm hole is not a good place, so I should not go in the future, I have to listen to her......"

"I don't know you either, so I can't go with you."

Speaking of this, the young man's eyes were a little more wary of us.

This made my second senior brother frown slightly.

However, I thought about it for a while and said, "Well, since you don't want to, we won't embarrass you." ”

When the boy heard me say this, he prepared to run away and drive the sheep away.

"Hey! Children, don't be in a hurry. I stopped him.

The boy looked back at me, his eyes a little unnatural.

I walked over and took out 10,000 yuan from my backpack and stuffed it into the boy.

"You take this money, big brother sees that you are a good boy, you can take this money to your mother's medical treatment." I said to him with a smile.

The young man looked at the 10,000 yuan in his hand, a thick wad of money, which made his eyes appear happy. However, his appearance is still a little reserved.

"Thank you, big brother."

"Well, no thanks, it's easier for us to make money than you. When you cure your mother's illness, you still have to study hard. Reading is the best shortcut to change your fate! ”

After saying that, I walked towards my second senior brother.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the boy actually called me: "Big brother, wait a minute." I'll tell you one more thing. ”

I stopped, turned around, and was surprised, "What's the matter?" ”

Although I was surprised, I felt a little happy in my heart, and I said that this young man seemed to be very smart. What he knows may be helpful for us to find our master, Ma Hongji.

The boy hesitated for a moment before he looked at me and said, "Big brother, there is a five-pointed star in the worm hole that I drew with chalk. As long as you follow the pentagram, you will find the 'dead weirdos'. However, those people may not be dead, so you must be careful. ”

With that, the boy turned and ran towards his flock.

I turned around and found that my second senior brother was staring at me approvingly, and said, "Senior brother, you still have a way, I didn't expect to get such an important clue." I guess our master is probably in that tomb. ”

My second senior brother's words made me a little uncomfortable, and I smiled bitterly: "Second senior brother, I don't want to use money to buy that little friend, I am completely out of sympathy. I gave him the money, but I didn't plan to let him give me anything in return. ”

"However, he said that he left a chalk-drawn five-pointed star in the worm hole, which may really help us."

My second senior brother nodded and said, "Well, let's go, let's find the worm hole first." ”

Then, we followed the Mangshui River again, heading upstream.

By this time, the night had completely darkened.

I took the flashlight out and turned it on.

Although the light is bright, it is surrounded by forests, and you can't see any farther, only illuminating the path.

After walking for about a stick of incense, we finally came to the end of the Mangshui River.

There is a large waterfall at the end, and next to the waterfall is a forest.

After entering the woods, within ten minutes, we smelled the smell of stinking and roasting.

The smell is not the smell of rotting food, but the smell of corpses. It's the same as the grocery store owner Wang Liang told him.

Following the smell of corpses, we found a small open area. This side is surrounded by scattered stones, of different shapes, large or small, tall or short.

And when my cursed eye opened, I saw that on the opposite side of this open place, there was a black stone cave.

The cave was damp all around, with moss and drooping vines on the stone walls.

Many of the vines had dried up, and they looked like dead snakes that were not pulling a few grays.

"This should be it."

The flashlight was in my second brother's hand, and he shone it forward.

We looked around, and after finding nothing unusual, we slowly approached the cave.

As soon as I got close to the entrance of the cave, I noticed a thick film-like layer on the ground.

What do you say, those things really look like dandruff, and it's kind of like the color of dragonfly wings. These film-like things should be the insect skin that Wang Liang said about the insect that faded off.

Of course, what Wang Liang said may not be accurate, these things may also be the corpses of those bugs. The flesh and organs in the corpse were eaten by microorganisms, and only then was there such a layer of skin left.

There was a wind blowing out from the mouth of the cave, carrying a stench, blowing the insect skins on the ground.

The skin of the insect makes a "rustling" sound, and many of them fly into the distance, giving people the feeling that it seems that snowflakes are flying.

But we had just arrived at the entrance of the worm hole, and we heard the sound of "rustling", as if there were many millipedes rubbing their legs and feet.

And before we could go in, I noticed that one by one the insects crawled out.

There are a lot of bugs, the size of a fingernail, and the legs and feet are dense. It looks a bit like a tide worm, with two small tentacles on its head.

Although I can't name these bugs, I still feel a tingling in my scalp after seeing them.

"Not good! Senior brother, there are too many bugs here, let's step back first. My second senior brother reminded.

But before we could retreat, these insects crawled up to the pile of "insect skins", and then one by one they didn't move.

But the dense insects still look uncomfortable.

What we didn't expect was that those insects, after lying there without moving, actually leaked a fishy liquid from their bodies. Also, their internal organs, as my Cursed Eye observed, turned into liquid as if they had been melted away.

When the liquid drained away, the bugs were left with a thin layer of skin.

"It's... It's incredible! ... This is a collective death. My second senior brother exclaimed.

And when my second brother shone the beam of the flashlight, those insects seemed to be afraid of the light and even avoided it.

Seeing this, I was a little happy in my heart and said, "Senior brother, have you seen it?" These bugs have all been avoided. ”

My second brother nodded, and then used his flashlight to shine again in the direction where the insects were crawling.

Sure enough, the insects were afraid of the light, so they all changed their paths and crawled away.

"It's the first time I've seen these bugs, and I'm really surprised." My second senior brother said, "Since they are afraid of light and don't hurt people, then junior brother, let's go into the worm hole." I hope that tonight, we can find Master, I always feel that Master is so powerful, it will be fine. ”

"I don't know what the purpose of that Jia Xuelin brought Master here in the first place. Perhaps, there is really something in the Han Dynasty tomb connected to this worm hole. If there is a baby, so much the better. ”

My second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou has always had a soft spot for antiques, and when he said this, it seems that he also believes that this worm cave is connected to that tomb.

Without hesitation, we turned on the flashlight, and the two of us went directly into the worm hole.

Actually, although these insects don't know what they are, both of us have Taoism, and even if they really attack people, they won't hurt us much.

After all, they're there.

It's just that when we step on the liquid that comes out of the bugs, the liquid becomes very corrosive. Therefore, when we walked over, we would still use the strong wind charm to blow away the insect skin, pick a place where we could settle as much as possible, and walk towards the insect hole.

It's easy to say when you enter the worm hole. The insects are all dead outside, and the insects inside the hole are afraid of light, so we are safe and sound.
