Chapter 58: Echo Bugs
Its speed was so fast that I couldn't see it clearly, and I didn't even have time to close my mouth, but Brother Shen's speed was even faster, he reached out in an instant, pinched the thing from the air, and with a "poof" sound, a thick stream of pus spurted out of it, and Brother Shen threw it to the ground as soon as he let go.
It was so close to me, and a lot of pus splashed in my mouth, and it was like a foul of foul snot in my mouth in an instant.
I just threw it up, and I had nothing in my stomach except sour water, and even then I couldn't wash away the stench.
I almost vomited bile, I didn't dare to breathe at all now, and the smell got into my nose as soon as I inhaled, and I felt like I didn't want to eat for the rest of my life.
Brother Shen didn't seem to expect this thing to spew out so much pus, he looked a little helpless, pointed to the ice pit and asked me, "Wouldn't it be better to contain a block of ice?" ”
There was a dead man from more than 2,000 years ago in the ice pit, and it was hard for him to come up with such a bad idea, so I quickly shook my head like a rattle.
He didn't say anything more, and seemed to think that the idea was rotten, and I vomited again, and when my stomach was empty, I spit, and it took me more than ten minutes to feel better.
I felt weak, and I could barely straighten up to look at the strange thing that had been strangled to death, it was emitting a foul stench on the ground, and I could only cover my nose and get closer.
It was about two inches long, as thick as my thumb, and it was covered in dark pink flesh, wrinkled like a worm, but the average bug was much more beautiful than it.
I felt sick again, this thing was so indescribable that I couldn't imagine what it would be like to get it in my mouth, but fortunately it had been cut off from the middle by Brother God, and it couldn't die anymore.
I casually pulled the wizard's black robe and flicked it, and I couldn't help but scream, this insect actually had a human face, although the small one was only the size of a fingernail, but the nose, eyes, and mouth were all available.
This skinned face looks particularly disgusting, it is like the face of a newborn baby that has been reduced countless times, ugly and evil, especially those eyes, probably because they were pinched by Brother Shen, the small eyeballs bulge outward, extremely terrifying.
"What is this?"
I stood up away from it, holding back the urge to vomit.
"The Echo Worm," said Brother Shen, "it can remember everything it hears and then say it, and it should be in control of this corpse." ”
"So this bug has lived for more than 2,000 years?" I was a little surprised.
Brother Shen nodded, I don't know what to say, it's reciting spells related to blood spells, it must also know the source of blood spells, I can't even compare to a worm.
This wizard did not die due to a blood curse, he is likely to be the one who was buried by an avalanche with the tomb owner, the ancients were very superstitious, they saw the corpse alive, and they would say a spell, they would definitely treat him as a special existence, the oil paint on his body should have been painted by the villagers, and the identity of the wizard was also given by them.
It's just that I don't know why he has an echo worm on his body, he should just be an ordinary person, the source of the blood curse is so mysterious, these villagers say that they are guarding the tomb, probably to avoid disaster, the situation is turbulent, and they can't leak secrets, and the dead man who guards the secret actually keeps the echo worm in his mouth, isn't he afraid of what it hears?
I can't figure it out from a thousand years ago, and I don't dare to think that this insect has hurt us so much, that I really want to go up and step on it, but I give up at the thought of the smell.
Brother Shen had already entered the ice pit, I hurriedly followed, the broken place was at the waist of the tomb owner, Brother Shen punched down and smashed the frozen broken ice again, the abdomen of the corpse was exposed, I saw his hands on his abdomen, holding a very fine white jade letter.
This jade letter is definitely a priceless work of art, I carefully picked it up and watched it emit a crystal clear and beautiful luster under the light of a flashlight, the jade letter has nine flying dragons coiled and hovering, and the details are beautifully outlined and lifelike.
My hand holding it was trembling, feeling that it would be a sin to accidentally destroy a little, I glanced at Brother Shen, but his eyes were not so hot, he reached out and took it, and opened it very casually.
It's empty inside.
I was a little disappointed, but I quickly became calm that this must have contained the piece of jade.
It must have been a royal thing, I turned my head to look at the corpse, his face had shriveled and discolored, I couldn't see it at all, I only knew that it was a man, his clothes were well preserved, but they were all rotten and black, I couldn't see any patterns or anything like that.
I had the audacity to touch it, but with a light touch, the fabric scattered like dust, leaving only a few black threads like hair.
I was startled, and quickly retracted my hand, Brother Shen picked up a black thread from the corpse, looked at it carefully, and raised his head to look at me: "It's a golden thread." ”
I opened my mouth wide, I couldn't associate these black silk threads with gold, and those who could use gold threads to make clothes in the Qin Dynasty must be relatives of the emperor.
In fact, I had a hunch that the stone carvings in the village had already shown that this was a big man, and who would be the soldiers who could follow him? I can't think of how little I know about that long history.
I moved a few steps and carefully looked at the face of the corpse, although the corpse had shrunk and deformed, it was definitely not an old man, I had once fantasized about whether this would be Qin Shi Huang, thinking that Qin Shi Huang was sick and died, and he would not be buried in such an aggrieved place, not even a decent coffin and burial.
Who the hell is this? What does he have to do with the Blood Curse?
Doubts spread in my heart, but I didn't expect that even if I got here, I still couldn't unlock the truth of the blood curse.
Brother Shen looked back and forth along the corpse, as if he was looking for something, and soon he made a discovery, he violently smashed the ice next to the corpse's head, I saw a jade pillow under the corpse's head, Brother Shen reached out and pulled out something from the jade pillow with a very light movement.
What he pulled out was a roll of earthy yellow silk, the jade pillow was empty, and the silk silk was placed in it, and it was far less rotten than clothes.
I've heard that many ancients would put their epitaphs under their pillows, and when I was actually faced with an ancient corpse, I couldn't even think of anything, and if it weren't for Brother Shen, I would definitely miss this low-hanging fruit.
My heart began to beat wildly, I didn't dare to touch it, for fear that if I touched it, it would turn into ashes like clothes, and Brother Shen's movements were very slow and light, he carefully lowered it on the flat ice, and slowly unfolded.
There is handwriting on the silk, it is a small seal, every time Brother Shen unfolds a little, the ink is rapidly oxidized and volatilized in the air, leaving us with only a moment of time to see.
I could only glance at it very quickly, but I couldn't even remember a few words, I was in a hurry, and I didn't dare to ask, I saw that Brother Shen's face gradually became solemn.
I couldn't help it: "Is it an epitaph?" Who is he? ”
Brother Shen didn't answer, the speed at which he unfolded the silk began to get faster, he must have seen it clearly, and he could understand it, but he didn't say anything.
I feel very irritable, it's so cold here, but all I can do is wait, the silk under the flashlight shows a metallic luster, and there must be gold threads in it.
Brother Shen quickly finished reading it, and I saw that there was a red seal at the end of the handwriting, but it also disappeared the moment it was exposed.
Will there also be a seal on the epitaph? I've never heard of it.
The silk silk has become blank, no matter how much I touch it, it is useless, Brother Shen still didn't say a word, his expression was very serious, and there was still a little panic in his eyes.
"Who the hell is he?" I asked.
Brother Shen didn't answer, his movements were fast, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the jade letter that had been opened, he picked it up, and groped with his hand at the bottom of the jade letter a few times, and I saw a folded silk silk falling out of it, and the color was very well preserved.
There is a mechanism in the jade letter!
There must have been something recorded in that epitaph, and Brother Shen would discover the mechanism of the jade letter, he twisted up the silk silk and unfolded it quickly, and I hurried over to find that the words on the silk were actually embroidered with gold thread.
But I couldn't read it at all, I could only see that Brother Shen's gaze was becoming more and more dull, his breathing was short, his hands were shaking, and he was staring straight at the silk, as if to see through it.
"Brother God, what is written on this? What the hell is the Blood Curse?! ”
Brother Shen's appearance scared me, I screamed loudly, I pulled his arm, and felt his body stiff.
He threw me away very hard, and I fell on the ice, and my back hurt, and I looked at him in amazement, this god brother made me feel very strange.
Isn't he a god brother, and I've been deceived again? Brother Shen would never do this to me, I struggled to get up and shouted, "Who are you?!" ”
He didn't answer, he looked very irritated, his eyes were flustered and blank, just like when I asked him where he was from.
Something must have been written on the silk, he must have remembered something!
This is Brother Shen, I cautiously leaned over: "Brother God, don't be afraid, you put that down." ”
I wanted to comfort him and calm him down like I did last time, but this time he didn't give me a chance at all, and he suddenly screamed and tore the silk silk in his hand like crazy!
"Brother God!"
I hurriedly rushed up to snatch the silk silk, but it was too late, his strength was very strong, this silk silk seemed to be well preserved, but in fact, a little force will turn into flying ashes.
"Brother God, let go!"
I tried to hold his hand, but his strength was too great, I couldn't pull it at all, the silk silk had been crushed to pieces, and a fragment fell from between his fingers, and he raised his hand suddenly, and in an instant, countless tiny fibers all fell on my face.
I sneezed violently and raised my hand to scatter the debris in front of me, and my face was full of fear and panic, his eyes were hollow, and his whole body was trembling.
