Chapter 480: Blood Mantis
But how do you find the person behind the control? He Changqing believes that the best way is to use strange techniques to carry out anti-tracking, which was used by the Iron Cloak Gate to deal with those cultists in the past. When the cultists take control of the human body, they will inevitably make people take some things in advance, and these things will also become clues to track the cultists. If these puppets really sealed the spirits of the eleven people, then there is only one way to trace them, use their bones to find the person who summoned their spirits.
"We have not found the coffins in the graves, so where can we find their bones?" ”
He Changqing said: "The reason why the resentful spirits here are so powerful is because they have not left the place of death, that is to say, these resentful spirits were executed in the cemetery on the south bank before their deaths, and the bones are not buried in the cemetery, but under our feet, but how to find them?" There is only one way, which corresponds to the location of the cemetery in the photo of the cemetery on the south bank. ”
Wei Chiran said that he didn't understand, and He Changqing took out the photo that Zhan Tianya gave him: "The location of the eleven tombs on the ground corresponds to the location of the bones buried in the Soul City, so you understand?" ”
Torture was skeptical: "This is also written in that book?" ”
He Changqing said: "Yes, that's right, since this person is doing it according to that book, then we will crack it according to the book and track him down." ”
Tang Qianlin agreed: "Although there is no signal here, the compass and compass work, but it is very troublesome to dig up these places, I paid attention along the way, and there is no soil exposed on the surface." ”
He Changqing looked at Tang Qianlin, and this look made Tang Qianlin immediately understand: "I understand, the soil is deliberately blocked, otherwise those puppets can't move at all, right?" ”
He Changqing gave Tang Qianlin a thumbs up: "It's enlightened." ”
Tang Qianlin is much older than He Changqing, and he can be regarded as the predecessor of He Changqing's predecessors, but at this time, he needs He Changqing to guide, and he is in front of Wei Chiran, who he regards as his son, which makes him a little embarrassed.
"The tools we brought are completely useless. ”
He Changqing said: "There is no shortage of tools here, you will definitely be able to find it if you look for it, after all, the Soul City is built according to a certain place in the yang world, and it is very narrow here, and it feels like shoehorning a city into a cave." ”
The four of them first went to look for tools, and then followed He Changqing to a courtyard, and in the northwest corner of the front yard, they took turns using tools to smash the floor. After Tang Qianlin changed hands, he sat next to him and studied the wooden cards, He Changqing seemed to think that it was meaningless, as long as he found that person, the so-called map was useless, after all, that map was probably a trap.
Tang Qianlin didn't think so, he felt that since the map existed, there was a reason for existence, especially the map was also placed on those puppets in batches, which didn't seem to be a coincidence, but intentional, as long as the intention was clear, the truth should be obtained.
After digging the surface of the soil, the inner layer of soil was pitch black, and there was a black liquid in it, and the smell was very pungent.
Seeing this, Wei Chiran asked, "Master, what is this?" ”
He Changqing didn't understand either, but said, "Hurry up and continue digging, the bones should be below." ”
After Tang Qianlin smelled the pungent smell, he immediately shouted: "Don't dig it, hurry up and find the fire, hurry up and light the fire, hurry up!" ”
When everyone didn't come to their senses at all, Tang Qianlin had already pulled out the burning stick and urged the others to hurry up and learn from him, and they had to find combustibles.
He Changqing asked strangely, "What's the matter?" This smell is poisonous? Need ignition to volatilize? ”
"This smell will attract blood mantises!" Tang Qianlin had already lit two incendiary sticks, and as he spoke, a group of blood-red things came out of the cracks in the surrounding buildings, and then spread their wings and flew towards them, flying straight towards the pit that had been dug.
Tang Qianlin immediately shouted: "Everyone stand together, squat down, get as close as possible, raise the incendiary stick in your hand, one person lifts two, hurry up!" ”
The other three immediately followed Tang Qianlin's instructions, squatted down in a circle back to back, holding the burning stick, and the blood mantis that Tang Qianlin said flew in groups from all directions, but directly bypassed the position of the burning rod and flew towards the black mud pit.
Seeing this, Wei Chiran asked in a low voice: "Senior, what is that?" ”
Tang Qianlin raised the incendiary stick slightly, burning a blood mantis flying in front of him, and when the blood mantis fell to the ground, Wei Chiran saw clearly that it was a praying mantis, but its body was blood-red and shiny.
He Changqing gasped, he looked at Tang Qianlin with grateful eyes, he knew that if Tang Qianlin hadn't reacted in time before, I'm afraid they would all be dead, because although this blood mantis is afraid of fire, it retreats before there is no fire, once it finds other creatures, it will definitely rush up, although it will not bite people to death, but it will bite dense blood holes on your body, and then inject a parasite in your body. After a person is infected by a parasite, although he can rescue himself and find a way to pull out the worm, if there are too many wounds on the body and are not treated in a short time, the parasite will enter the body, and the person will then become swollen and completely become a nest of parasites until death, and the whole process is painful.
After all those blood mantis flew into the pit, Tang Qianlin took out an incendiary bomb from his bag, thought about it and added another one, motioned for the others to stay away, and then threw it into the pit. After the white light flashed in the pit, a fire ignited, and many blood mantis wanted to fly out, but they were also swallowed by the flames, and the pit also made a crackling sound of insects after being burned.
Tang Qianlin stood there and watched, He Changqing stepped forward, thought about it and thanked him: "Thank you." ”
Tang Qianlin just said lightly: "You rarely came to Yunnan before." ”
He Changqing nodded silently.
Tang Qianlin said: "Originally, this was a trap, in the past, the best thing for the Yunnan people was to use all kinds of insects as traps, this kind of trap is in their place, seven-year-old children will use it, I once almost fell into this trap, if it weren't for the people of the Snake tribe to know that I am not an enemy, and to rescue in time, I would have died a long time ago." ”
He Changqing continued to nod, Tang Qianlin's move could be regarded as saving some face, but at this time Tang Qianlin also calmed down, although he didn't believe in He Changqing, but at the moment of life and death, he wouldn't care so much, He Changqing had saved him before, so he was asking himself, was he too suspicious?
After the fire in the pit was extinguished, the torturer asked, "What about now?" Do you want to keep digging? ”
He Changqing hesitated, but looked at Tang Qianlin, Tang Qianlin said: "I must continue to dig, the reason why there is a blood mantis trap here, it proves that the location that Teacher He explored is fine, and the surrounding blood mantis have been lured out, so it doesn't matter." ”
Tang Qianlin called He Changqing Teacher He, which can be regarded as saying that he does not have much hostility towards him.
The four of them continued to dig down, but they dug up something that looked like a cicada chrysalis, but the cicada chrysalis was about the size of a person.
He Changqing wondered, "What is this?" ”
The torture technique shook his head, and Wei Chiran naturally didn't know, so everyone looked at Tang Qianlin.
"Worm burial pupae, my God, this person has committed a heinous crime, so he will use this method," Tang Qianlin leaned closer to see the human chrysalis that had been placed outside the pit, "This person was not killed on it, but was seriously injured and incapacitated, wrapped in a kind of leather soaked with insect juice, and then stuffed with some insect eggs, the person was actually not dead at that time, and had to wait for the insect eggs to hatch in it, and slowly gnaw at his whole body." ”
Wei Chi was dumbfounded when he heard this, he couldn't imagine who could think of such a cruel death. Tang Qianlin motioned for them to get out of the way, then held the Xia Feng spear, stood a little farther away, and used the head of the spear to cut the surface of the human chrysalis directly, and after the cut was made, a black liquid like ink flowed out of it, and a lot of maggots rolled out of the liquid, and there was another kind of beetle-like bug mixed in the maggots, but that kind of worm seemed to be dead and did not move.
"Oh my God," Wei Chi Ran covered his nose, "what a smell, it's so cruel." ”
Just as Wei Chiran finished speaking, the upper body of a corpse that had not completely decomposed rose directly from the human chrysalis, and the person's arms also bounced away directly, making a hugging posture, and his head was also raised backwards, and many colorful butterflies flew out of his wide mouth.
The butterflies circled around the corpse several times before falling and scattering in all directions, many still flapping their wings with great difficulty.
The disgusting human chrysalis, the pungent smell of black liquid, and the butterflies that emerged at the end surprised the four.
"What about butterflies?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I don't know about this." ”
The lieutenant stepped forward and looked: "Why is it not completely rotten?" What should I do if I feel like my dried skin is stuck to my bones? Don't we just have bones? ”
Tang Qianlin looked at He Changqing: "Teacher He, what do you think?" ”
He Changqing's eyes straightened, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Then I can only try, I can only try according to what I have learned, but I don't know if it works, if the magic can really be used now, it must work." ”
said. He Changqing stepped forward, put on gloves, and dragged the dried corpse out with Tang Qianlin, laid it flat on the ground, and then cut off the rusty iron chain that was still tied to his feet, sharpened a wooden strip that he had taken from the puppet's body before, and inserted it into its heart, and then divided the remaining wooden strip into small pieces and inserted it into the seven orifices of the dried corpse, and then began to raise the altar.
He Changqing's altar, the method used is very simple, painting the ground as an altar, that is, using chalk or limestone to draw the appearance of the altar on the ground, and then burning incense, incense only needs three pillars.
After doing everything, He Changqing took a deep breath and recited a series of secret secrets, and after reading, he inserted the three pillars of incense into the mouth of the dry corpse, took one in his hand, and left the remaining one in place, and then clasped his hands together and clamped the incense stick in his hand and said: "Get up!" ”
