In less than an hour, the crowd set up an impermeable tent on the earthen pit, leaving only a small door for people to enter and exit.

Chen Jixian asked Curator Zhang to buy some chickens and sponges, although Zhang Shifan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Jixian's gourd, he still immediately arranged for people to purchase them.

Zhang Shifan used to be a worker in the coal mine, he saw that the air in the tent was not circulating, and he didn't know where to find a self-rescuer for Qi Lu to put on, and personally helped Qi Lu take off the outer canister, sort out the air bag, and only after making sure that it was foolproof, he allowed Qi Lu to enter the tent to dig ghost Ganoderma lucidum.

The main purpose of this filter self-rescuer is to provide emergency ambulance for underground personnel to wear oxygen to avoid poisoning or suffocation death in the event of a gas explosion accident in the mine. Qi Lu's heart suddenly became hot, and he found that Director Zhang, who usually seemed to be greedy for money, was still able to think about others at a critical time, and with his care, he should praise him.

In fact, Zhang Shifan is not entirely out of good intentions, he is mainly worried that if something happens to the staff during work, he will also be jointly and severally liable, not only will the position of the curator not be kept, but he will also sit in the class room because of this.

At this time, Uncle Wang also sold chickens back, there were one or twenty live chickens in this cage, Chen Ji first tore the sponge into more than a dozen pieces, and then soaked it in water, and then asked Qi Lu to put the chickens and sponges into the soil pit, before entering the pit, Chen Jixian also specially stuffed a few talismans to Qi Lu to prevent him from being secretly injured by the monsters buried in the ground. At this time, everyone understood Chen Jixian's intentions, it turned out that he wanted to use chickens and sponges to absorb the poisonous gas of ghost lingzhi as much as possible.

Qi Lu smiled bitterly, carried a dry of things into the tent, and Uncle Wang, who followed him, hurriedly sealed the door to prevent the poisonous gas inside from leaking out. Everyone was idle and had nothing to do, all waiting for Qi Lu to dig out the ghost lingzhi before taking the next step.

"Damn, you're free, but you're using me as a gunman." Qi Lu saw that the people outside were chatting, so he was doing coolies, so he couldn't help but curse quietly, opened the door of the chicken coop, and the roosters and hens inside rushed out and ran around, and Qi Lu's ears were full of noisy chicken crows.

Then Qi Lu spread the sponge in the corner of the tent, and as soon as this thing was done, he saw a flower-feathered rooster running to his feet, every hair on its neck stood up, and its mouth screamed hysterically, and then its head fell to the ground without moving.

"Dead?" Qi Lu looked around, only to find that most of the nearly twenty chickens were poisoned by the gas released by the ghost lingzhi, and the rest who did not die were basically dying, lying on the ground and struggling in vain.

Qi Lu thought to himself, I should hurry up and dig out the ghost Lingzhi, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and then it will not be good to alarm the monsters buried in the ground. So he sighed, picked up his hoe, and dug hard.

After digging for less than five minutes, the hoe brought out a brown object the size of a child's palm, Qi Lu picked it up and looked at it, and guessed that it was part of the ghost Ganoderma lucidum cap. Qi Lu suddenly became excited, he knelt down in front of the pit, picked up the floating soil on the surface, and saw a basin-sized fungus shaped like a human brain appear in front of his eyes, Qi Lu changed a small shovel and began to dig up carefully along the fungus cap.

"Xiao Qi, are you okay?" Chen Jixian saw Qi Lu's figure lying on the ground without moving, and thought that something had happened to him.

"It's okay, I'm digging out the ghost lingzhi."

"Be careful of the tentacles on its stipe, and quickly attach the talisman I gave you to the mushroom cap of the ghost lingzhi!" Chen Jixian's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he quickly ran to the tent and shouted to Qi Lu through the plastic sheet.

Ordinary ghost reishi will not have tentacles, and only ghost reishi that has been cultivated for more than 1,000 years can grow plant tentacles that resemble octopuses from the stipe. This tentacle usually lies dormant in the ground, and once a person or animal passes by on the ground, the tentacle will break through the ground like a python and roll the living creature into the ground and entangle it, and it will only let go until it dies.

After a person or animal is strangled, the toxin in the spores will enter the corpse along the tentacles, this toxin is actually a digestive enzyme, which can quickly decompose the corpse into liquid, and then the root of the ghost reishi will be rooted into the corpse to calmly absorb the nutrients needed.

What's even more terrifying is that because the ghost lingzhi grows in the dark ground and is very sensitive to light, as long as the sunlight hits its body, the tentacles will automatically attack any creature that approaches it, so Chen Jixian's worry is very necessary.

Qi Lu didn't know how powerful the ghost Lingzhi was, but he also heard what Chen Jixian said outside the tent. He saw that the ghost Lingzhi had already exposed a few centimeters of the stalk, so he first took out the spirit rune and pasted it on the fungus cap, and then looked down to see if there was anything abnormal on the stalk.

The stipe was black and purple, Qi Lu felt extremely smooth when he touched it with his hand, and it was as hard as a wooden stick, guessing that there should be no tentacles and other attachments, so he didn't take it seriously. He had been in the tent for almost half an hour, so he stepped out of the tent to get some fresh air. Although the poisonous gas in the tent could not hurt him, the pungent smell was really uncomfortable for his eyes.

Chen Ji first watched Qi Lu come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation inside. Qi Lu told him about the situation, and Chen Jixian heard that the ghost lingzhi had not yet grown tentacles, and a stone in his heart also fell to the ground.

Qi Lu rested for a while, drank a bottle of mineral water, and went into the tent to dig hard. After digging for another half an hour, the stalks of the ghost lingzhi were exposed nearly a meter deep, but Qi Lu still didn't dig his head.

Qi Lu was already sweating profusely, panting from exhaustion. He was a little impatient, and when he saw that the new soil at the bottom of the pit was getting wetter and wetter, he grabbed the handle of the ghost lingzhi with both hands and pulled it up, but he didn't expect to uproot the ghost lingzhi in one go.

When he put the more than one-meter-long ghost reishi tree on the ground to check it, he found that its root was actually connected to a dry and blackened tube, which was very similar to the umbilical cord connecting the baby, and the other end led to the ground.

Qi Lu wondered, he didn't know what the purpose of this fleshy tube was, he tentatively pulled the tube with his hands, and found that it was buried very deep and couldn't pull it at all. What's even worse is that when he pulled the pipe, it actually wriggled and retracted in Qi Lu's hand like a worm. Qi Lu was stunned, he deliberately screamed after rolling his eyes, and then ran out of the tent.

"Xiao Qi, what happened, is it a zombie coming out?" Chen Jixian stopped him and asked.

"It's not...... There's a root in it....... The moving pipe ......" Qi Lu deliberately told Chen Jixian what he had just seen in a stammering tone.

"Hey, there's still such a strange thing?" Chen Jixian was also surprised when he heard this, he removed Qi Lu's self-rescuer and put it on his back, and then bent down into the tent with a few magic weapons to take a look.

Qi Lu didn't dare to step forward when he saw that everyone else was looking at him from afar, so he had to cover his nose and walk in with Chen Ji first, in case something happened to him, he could be a helper.

Sure enough, as Qi Lu said, Chen Jixian pinched the tube in his hand and saw that it kept shaking, even if he pasted the yellow mounting rune paper on it, it didn't work.

Qi Lu asked, "Dao Chief, do you know what the hell this is?" ”

"It's the first time I've seen this strange thing, I really don't know what it is, maybe, this is the possession of the ghost Lingzhi?" Chen Jixian was not sure.

"Whatever it is, I'll break it first." Qi Lu's recklessness came, and as soon as he went down with a hoe, he hoeed this strange pipe into two sections.

Suddenly, a strange cry came from the ground, very much like the miserable roar of some kind of beast when it was on the verge of death, and it made people's scalps tingle when they heard it. When the screams died down, the pipe quickly retracted into the dirt and disappeared without a trace. The pipe that was left on the ground slowly began to soften, and finally turned into a puddle of black sewage.

Qi Lu suddenly felt remorseful for his reckless behavior, but Chen Jixian comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, the monk can't run away from the temple." All we have to do is dig up the zombie's coffin and he'll be dead. After speaking, Chen Jixian picked up the ghost lingzhi and beckoned Qi Lu to go outside together.

"Master Chen, what's going on with that scream just now?" Zhang Shifan asked with a pale face.

"It's okay, it's just a zombie's dying throes." Chen Jixian said with a smile: "Director Zhang, you still arrange for someone to raise a fire, and we will burn this ghost Lingzhi first." ”

Qi Lu stood next to him and looked at the ghost lingzhi in Chen Jixian's hand in a daze, it really looked like a giant human brain, the surface of the fungus cap was uneven, covered with different depths of grooves, and there were white fluffs in some places, which looked terrifying and disgusting.

Suddenly, Qi Lu thought of something again, and he asked hesitantly: "Dao Chief, the ghost Lingzhi is poisonous, how dare you still hold it in your hand?" ”

Chen Jixian laughed and said: "The ghost lingzhi is indeed very poisonous, but it is an extremely yin thing, and now its roots have left the soil, and it has been exposed to the sun for a long time, and it has long since died, so it can't emit poisonous gas to harm people." ”

"I see." Qi Lu saw that the fungus of the ghost lingzhi was already a little shriveled, and knew that what Chen Jixian said was true, so he put his mind at ease.

Several migrant workers had already set up dry firewood and started the fire, Chen Jixian threw the ghost lingzhi into the fire, and Qi Lu was a little uneasy next to him, for fear that something strange would happen to the ghost lingzhi before it was burned. However, it turned out that he was too worried, until the ghost Lingzhi burned to ashes, and nothing supernatural happened.

Chen Jixian said, "Director Zhang, let's go clean up this zombie now." ”

"Master, don't worry." Zhang Shifan smiled and said: "It's almost noon now, and it's not too late for us to eat first and then solve this ghost thing." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qi Lu hurriedly walked over and said to him, "I said Director Zhang, don't leave me to guard the zombies during dinner." "Since the last time I experienced the ghost playing cards, Qi Lu still thinks about it a little unpleasantly.

"No, it won't." Zhang Shifan hugged Qi Lu's shoulders affectionately and said, "You are today's hero, I will toast you later, how can you do such rough work." ”

When Zhang Shifan beckoned everyone to eat, his eyes rolled and he said to the migrant workers: "Masters, you have worked hard today. After eating, you will go to Accountant Ding to receive a salary, 1,000 per person, and if there is nothing to do in the afternoon, everyone will go home and rest. ”

1,000 yuan, which is almost the salary of migrant workers for a few days, seeing that Director Zhang is so generous, the migrant workers are happy.

However, Zhang Shifan's expression became serious in a blink of an eye, and he told a few migrant workers with a gloomy face, "Don't tell me about today's matter, otherwise let me know, and you won't want to come to me to do odd jobs in the future." ”

Qi Lu couldn't help but sneer in his heart after listening: Zhang Shifan is really shrewd enough to use money to gag the mouths of the migrant workers and not let them know the specific situation of the zombie tomb below.
