Chapter 106: Inference
The spicy smell became more and more obvious, it shook its body, and the smell emanated from it, I couldn't help but raise my hand to wipe my eyes, the smell was too pungent.
The smell must be poisonous, Lao Huang quickly took out the gas mask from his backpack, I thought this thing would not be used, I never thought it would be used here.
There are only three masks, he handed them to me and Ah Chuan Xiaoqi, I was stunned for a moment, put on the masks, Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi didn't refuse, I had a strange feeling in my heart, Lao Huang will not be gullible, he can't give his equipment to Ah Chuan who just met them, it's too strange.
The atmosphere was so tense that I didn't have time to think about it, Xiao Qi put on a mask, raised his sword and rushed up, and the speed of his movements was completely beyond my expectations.
Suddenly, the strange insect also moved, it jumped from the coffin to the side of the coffin, I saw its whole appearance, its whole body was like countless white bone joints, the tail was thinner, it stood by those strange tentacles, they bent down close to the stone coffin, and the upper part of the erect was fully unfolded, as if provocative.
This insect is inevitably too big, half a person tall, and now standing by the stone coffin, almost the same as me, I have long suspected that those Yin people are not like Gu Kings, but I didn't expect the real Gu Kings to be so terrifying.
Is it parasitic in the human body, dissolving the human body, using itself as a bone, controlling the whole person?
I feel creepy when I think about it, Xiao Qi was just a false temptation, and when he saw the strange insect jump out, he immediately stopped moving, I don't know why, it doesn't seem to care about Xiao Qi at all, but straight towards me.
It seems to have always regarded me as a target, I don't know whether to cry or laugh, what is it about me that attracts it, when there are so many people, it seems that it can only see me.
Xiao Qi moved silently, her movements were very light, she walked around the side of the coffin, and in the blink of an eye, she reached the side of the insect.
The insect didn't move, it was still looking at me, it seemed to think that Xiao Qi was not a threat, it was too arrogant, I cursed in my heart, and soon it would know the fate of ignoring Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi found a suitable angle, and instantly jumped to the edge of the stone coffin, the sword in his hand flashed with dazzling blue light, and slashed at the strange insect!
Her speed was extremely fast, I saw the sword body touch the body of the insect, and suddenly a strange "hiss" sound came, the insect rolled up the sword body like a snake, the sword rose with a burst of white gas, and the tentacles of the insect curled up, as if touching Xiao Qi's hand.
Xiao Qi's face showed a look of surprise, she instantly threw the sword into the coffin, turned over and jumped down, kicked the coffin lid up, and closed the coffin lid as soon as her foot fell.
Her skills were clean and neat, every bit of strength was just right, I was dumbfounded, Xiao Qi's body moved, he pressed the coffin lid suddenly, and shouted: "Quick!" ”
Before her voice fell, Brother Shen and Ah Chuan had already rushed over, Lao Huang followed closely, I also threw away the sapper shovel and ran forward, I heard a violent impact in the coffin, and the sound of wood breaking, Xiao Qi pressed the coffin lid tightly, and I saw her hands shaking.
We seem to have a lot of strength in a very nervous situation, the coffin cover was quickly pushed up, Xiao Qi instantly withdrew his hand, we pressed the strength of the whole body up, "click", the coffin cover was pushed back to its original position, I vaguely heard the dull impact from inside, the coffin cover is very heavy, it is a worm after all, it is impossible to have the power to lift the coffin cover.
I let out a long sigh of relief, my heartbeat was clearly audible, it was all happening so fast that I still have palpitations, as if the bug was still staring at me.
The crashing sound in the coffin continued, mixed with the crisp sound of metal and the subtle "hiss", and I could imagine the bug swimming in the coffin, the two copper kettles being tossed back and forth.
We took off our masks, the strange pungency seemed to be still spreading in the air, Xiao Qi lowered his hand and leaned against the stone wall, Lao Huang saw the coffin cover pushed back, and ran to her in three steps and two steps: "Did that bug touch you?" ”
His voice was very loud, and I turned my head to look, only to see Xiao Qi look away: "No." ”
Lao Huang pulled up Xiao Qi's hand, and I saw that half of Xiao Qi's hands were red, as if a layer of skin had fallen off, revealing tender flesh oozing blood.
The injury looked very miserable, like a serious burn, Xiao Qi withdrew his hand: "It didn't touch me, it's just very close, this thing seems to be able to corrode all metal." ”
Just being close to it becomes like this? My heart tightened, no wonder Xiao Qi didn't even want a sword, the weird white smoke and "hiss" sound just now must be that the sword body was corroded, I don't know what metal Xiao Qi's sword is made of, even she showed a surprised look, it can be seen how powerful it is, we can't kill it at all, we can't even get close, we can only trap it.
"Hey, it's a mistake," Ah Chuan blamed himself as he rummaged through the medical bag, "I didn't expect this kind of thing to live so long in a coffin." ”
The more I listened, the more I felt that Ah Chuan's words were wrong, and before I could react, Lao Huang grabbed him by the collar violently: "What do you mean?" You already knew there were bugs in the coffin?! ”
"Calm, calm," Ah Chuan pulled the collar out of Lao Huang's hand, "It's just speculation, you go and see the mural again." ”
Lao Huang turned his head and ran to the mural, I was full of doubts and went up, looking at the fish bone-like thing in the pit, I suddenly realized, this is the Gu King we just met, the Gu King entered the body of that person, and that person was the one buried in the coffin.
Before he saw the Gu King, how could Ah Chuan know that this was a bug? I went up and looked back and forth, and finally found the clue, the first mural had seventeen insects, and the second one only had sixteen, because one of them had gotten into the man's body!
I gasped and turned my head to look at Ah Chuan, he was treating Xiao Qi's wounds, no wonder he seemed to know everything, he should have thought of the possibility that there were bugs in this corpse, so why did he open the coffin?
I felt chills all over my body, I couldn't see through this man, I don't know how much he was hiding in his giggling, it was likely that he had found something else along the way, but he didn't tell us.
"The mural doesn't say anything, I can't imagine that the worm will be here, I just want to determine who the owner of the tomb is, and now I can be sure that it is the priest, or that he is the real clan leader." Ah Chuan bandaged Xiao Qi and jumped on the stone coffin to sit on it.
"What do you mean?" I'm still in the clouds.
"This person should be a god stick from the Central Plains, but he has lived here for a long time, he knows both Taoist magic and Gu cultivation methods, he became a priest and deceived these people.
He let them see their god worms, and the insects can not only live safely when they enter the body, but also have the effects of being invincible to all poisons and prolonging life, and these barbarians worship him as a god, and he said that only those who are recognized by the god worms can be the head of the clan, and these people also believe it.
They held a sacred ceremony, but they didn't know that the leader had become his puppet under the manipulation of the Gu worm, Yelang Kingdom existed in name only, he was the real king here, but unfortunately no matter how powerful his Gu worm was, he couldn't resist the invasion of the Western Han Dynasty, and his dream was shattered, and he was going to die as a god.
He wants to become an immortal, and he knows that he can't become an immortal, he knows that some of the things he does are deceptive, and he is afraid that the ghosts will ask him for his life after death, and under all kinds of contradictions, he ordered the construction of a strange mausoleum that is not earthy and not foreign. ”
Ah Chuan finished speaking, I looked at him in a daze and didn't know what to do, he said it in too much detail, as if he had experienced it himself, it was just two murals plus the Gu King, how could he deduce so much?
He seemed to be telling a story, a true story, and I seemed to have walked through the story, as if I had seen the scenes with my own eyes.
"Inference and imagination, that's probably it, if you want to ask why the jade is here, I don't know, maybe Zhao Tuo's descendants gave it to King Yelang, and this puppet gave it to him? Oh, maybe this guy is a descendant of Zhao Tuo, and anything is possible," Ah Chuan smiled sheepishly, "Don't look at me with such adoring eyes, I'll be embarrassed." ”
", who's looking at you with adoring eyes." Lao Huang was unceremonious.
Ah Chuan's face was full of grievances and pointed at me: "Daze." ”
I glanced at Lao Huang, and somehow I felt that my face was hot, and I turned my head and scolded Ah Chuan: "Fart!" ”
Ah Chuan didn't get angry at all, but laughed out loud, this guy is a psychotic at all, or late, hopeless.
There was still a sound of metal hitting in the coffin, and Lao Huang glanced at it: "This leader is very shabby, and there are only two copper cylinders for the burial." ”
"Copper kettle, Yelang's unique head burial," Ah Chuan stopped laughing, "If it weren't for these two copper kettles, I really wouldn't dare to conclude that it was Yelang, nothing to watch more news, the Yelang site in 01 year was unearthed with a head burial, the only one in the world, Tong Su is not bullied." ”
"In the past year, Lao Tzu still caught river fish barely," Lao Huang was not afraid of Ah Chuan's jokes at all, and seemed to remember something, "Look at you, you are not old, how old were you at that time?" ”
Ah Chuan smiled and didn't answer, I don't know why, I always feel that his smile has a little bitterness, he looks so young, he is the same age as us, I don't know what he is doing when we are running around the mountains and carefree?
What does his sleek and perverse personality have to go through to develop? There is also Xiao Qi, she is younger than Ah Chuan, maybe not as old as me, what did that kind of cold temperament and neat skills go through to exercise?
I was suddenly not a taste, I was so well protected that I didn't know anything about the dangers outside, and the gap between my peers could have been so obvious.
