Chapter 35: The Bone Eater
Ah Zhen walked to the white bones and squatted down to check, these white bones were incomplete, corroded in many places, and there were some Gu worms dormant in some grooves, which were indeed the masterpieces of bone eaters.
There are many kinds of Gu, including insect Gu, snake Gu, medicine Gu, plant Gu, loach Gu, etc., and even human Gu.
The bone eater insect is a rather terrible insect Gu, but there is no specific species, so it is not easy to control, the black seedling will collect some carnivorous insects, and then screen out the most ferocious ones and then cultivate and reproduce, with raw meat and raw bones to mix special powder to feed, and so the insect has developed the habit of dormant when it sees the meat and has no food, and the bone eater insect can be considered a successful refining.
Due to the uncontrolled and large number of bone eaters, the black seedlings are afraid of being counterattacked, so they dare not touch them casually, so they can only use utensils to pack them, and they are also careful when using them.
Ah Zhen stood up and took out a green snake from her sleeve, she pinched the green snake's mouth with two fingers and blew on it, and then rolled up her sleeves and buckled the snake's fangs directly on her tattooed arm, the green snake frantically sucked Ah Zhen's blood, and a lot of blood dripped down her arm and fell to the ground, making a "da-da-da" sound, and you can see that the blood is dark red, not the bright red of a normal person.
The people behind shivered when they saw it, and directly let the poisonous snake bite themselves but there was nothing, indicating that Ah Zhen's body was more poisonous than the snake, and Guo Fatzi was even more surprised, but his focus was not here, but he couldn't figure out how this snake was hidden in his clothes by Ah Zhen.
After sucking the blood, the green snake was carried by Ah Zhen in his hand, and after twisting his body wildly, he hung down softly, and he should have been poisoned.
Ah Zhen threw the green snake directly into the distance, only to see a large area of small red insects drilled out of the crack in the stone to cover the green snake, and the green snake was instantly gnawed into a pile of white bones, and not long after that, even the white bones were wiped out by these insects.
Ah Zhen watched all this silently, and when the green snake was eaten, the red insects dispersed like a low tide, but after a few seconds, she suddenly stopped, she walked to the vicinity and took out a small bamboo tube, and sprinkled the medicinal powder inside on these insects.
"Come here." Ah Zhen said lightly, and then slowly walked forward.
Shen Jinsan and the others immediately followed, only to see that these insects had turned black, and they should all be dead.
Wu Zhengyi squatted down to check the two white bones, but he didn't dare to touch them: "These two are Taoist priests." He noticed a compass next to the bones, and said, "This is a water compass." ”
Shen Jinsan: "There are old footprints in front, indicating that there are more than two people in this group." ”
Jane: "These two are just sacrifices, they are used to attract bone eaters. ”
Wu Zhengyi stood up: "Let's go, hurry up!" ”
Ah Zhen led everyone to continue to go deeper, this passage was built very neatly, it must have taken a lot of effort back then, even from the stone altar outside, it can be seen that there is a very important person buried here.
Wu Zhengyi wanted to explore Ah Zhen's reality again: "It seems that you are a major in snake Gu!" ”
Ah Zhen diverted the topic: "That's right! Listening to Chen A, Uncle Wu and our Xiangmiao are still quite fateful! ”
Wu Zhengyi: "Yes! That's why I'm asking you for help! ”
Jane: "Huh! I'm looking at the face of the Holy Gu! ”
Ah Zhen, this little woman is indeed extraordinary, she doesn't seem to take Wu Zhengyi and Chen A in her eyes at all, and her words reveal that this is not cut by anyone, except for the Holy Gu.
Guo Fatzi was a little unhappy: "I knew that it would be okay to bring a bottle of insecticide, and all insects will be eliminated for it!" ”
Wu Xin: "Next time you find a chance, you can bring your own bottle to try!" ”
Jane: "Don't play tricks around here, this is just the first level!" ”
Wu Zhengyi laughed: "That's why you need a helper like you!" As the saying goes, the ancestors had to tremble when they saw Miao Wu, let alone us! ”
At the end of the passage, there was a small stone room in front of me, and when I walked in, I saw that it was a mess, and there were not only a few human bones wearing Taoist robes on the ground, but also the bones of animals, and several large enough to hold a child, and something like a silkworm cocoon hung on the top.
The bones of these animals are larger than the earth dogs, but it is difficult to identify the species, after seeing those cocoon-like things, everyone suddenly realized that these are the bones of the big eaves dragon, and they crawled out of the cocoon, because there are still residual scales in the cocoon.
I really can't imagine that a few escaped from the open stone gate, and they have survived until now, and they have become even bigger, if it weren't for Shen Jinsan and they came in and were killed, maybe they could still grow.
Ah Zhen: "The lifespan of the eaves dragon is not long, these are just refined into Gu and put here to sleep, and they crawl out again when they see the breath of a living person." ”
Wu Xin felt incredible: "Can you still refine a gecko into such a big one?" ”
Jane: "It's an ancient form of witchcraft that requires sacrifice, and no one is going to do it now." ”
Ah Zhen's meaning couldn't be more obvious, refining these big eaves dragons requires the sacrifice of living people.
Wu Zhengyi said after looking at a few human bones: "I didn't expect them to come with so many people, and the robes are not the same, I guess it may be that several sects are acting together." ”
Guo Fatzi: "Taoist priests are still divided into sects?" How does it look like a TV series! ”
Shen Jinsan went to ask Ah Zhen: "Is it for "Jiuli Zhi", is there anything special about this book?" ”
"All I know is that it contains a terrifying secret, you follow me and don't make a sound, I smell rot." Ah Zhen stopped talking, turned around and pulled out the bone flute, and it took a few minutes for several small snakes to emerge from her collar, and she controlled the snakes to lead the way.
After passing through the stone chamber and entering a straight passage, the sound of a ghost-like flute echoed through the passage, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense!
These snakes swim very fast, look very strange, the size is only about the same as the yellow eel, the head of the snake is small and pointed, the body is very slender and pink, it seems that there are no scales, and the proportions are not normal, and this time the snake is different from usual, Ah Zhen's flute sound is a little intermittent and looks very difficult.
I don't know what this rotten smell means, because I can't smell anything other than musty, only Wu Zhengyi and Wu Xin understand what they are going to face, because both of them feel very uncomfortable on their eyebrows, indicating that there is a strong yin qi ahead.
Wu Zhengyi lowered his voice and said to a few people seriously: "These snakes are of the same root as Ah Zhen, and it is difficult to control, don't disturb her!" ”
Seeing that Wu Zhengyi and Wu Xin both held their weapons in their hands, Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi also picked up their shotguns, but they only had the last four bullets left, and they didn't know if they could come in handy.
Passing through an open stone door at the end of the passage, there were sparks in front of you, countless phosphorus fires illuminated the place, and hundreds of logs were built into a scaffolding around a huge altar in the middle.
Before he could see the situation around the altar clearly, suddenly without warning, several dead people wearing Taoist robes bounced up from the ground and rushed towards this side.
These dead men were running at an extremely fast speed, their faces painful, their skin as white as paper, and their foreheads and celestial spirit covers were unusually bulging.
"You hold these things back, and I'll figure out the rest!" Ah Zhen stopped where she was, and after speaking at a very fast pace, she changed the tone and continued to blow the bone flute.
