Chapter 089: Demon Ye Blood Flower
What appeared in the sarcophagus was not Lao Zheng, nor the woman in red, but the corpse of a man, who also wore a mask on his face, and he couldn't see his true face clearly. On the corpse there is a delicate flower, the fiery red color, which makes people can't help but take a few more looks.
The flowers are peculiar, as red as blood, somewhat resembling peonies, which may certainly not be, and only the flowers do not see the leaves, and if you look closely at the roots of the flowers, they seem to grow in the corpses. Neither Han Wei nor Lao Zheng had ever seen this flower, and no matter which point it was, it was strange and weird.
I don't know if I was staring at the flowers for too long, and I felt the flowers moving, like the petals swaying by the wind. However, there is no wind in the cave, and the petals are illusions unless they are moving. Han Wei looked at Lao Zheng, and it could be seen from his expression that he also saw it.
"This flower is weird, don't touch it yet." Lao Zheng was very cautious and habitually took gloves from his waist, but he didn't know where they had fallen for a long time.
There was no need for Lao Zheng's reminder, and Han Wei would not rashly touch it, at this time his eyes were taken away from the flower and looked at the corpse. Determining that the other party is a man mainly depends on the clothes on his body and the exposed Adam's apple, but without seeing the other party's face, Han Wei always can't let go, worried that it will be her again. From the exposed parts of the corpse, it can be seen that the corpse is very well preserved, not much different from the person who just died, as long as the sarcophagus man's mask is removed, it can be confirmed.
It is absolutely unusual for a well-preserved corpse to be able to be preserved, this is not a completely sealed crystal glass, which is ready to come into contact with the air, because there is a visible gap between the sarcophagus lid and the sarcophagus. Strange things are likely to cause other dangers, when Han Wei hesitated to unmask or not, suddenly the flower swayed even more, Han Wei's gaze was obviously on the man's mask, as if he could sense the change of the flower, and his gaze returned to the flower.
At this time, the flower suddenly stopped again, and after looking at it for a few seconds, Han Wei remembered about the mask, and immediately turned around and stepped forward to take off the man's mask. Just by looking at it, Han Wei was stunned there, it was still her, it was still her.
"Han Wei ......"
Han Wei heard someone shouting at him, he recovered a little from the shock, and was about to follow the sound when there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, which was hit by something. Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed, and Lao Zheng was on the side, clenching his fists, preparing for an attack. Han Wei hurriedly took a step back and said, "Lao Zheng, what are you doing?" ”
"It's not that you don't want to touch the things in the sarcophagus casually, you just ignore it, and you don't pay attention to it after shouting you a few times, you can only use pain to stimulate you to wake up." When Lao Zheng saw Han Wei's appearance just now, he knew that the previous hallucination had happened again, so he didn't hesitate to make a move.
Han Wei, who woke up, looked at the corpse again, the face of a strange man, his face was covered with scars, and it looked terrifying, like a wound from a sword. Could it be that the corpse wears a mask just to cover up its ugliness?
Han Wei thought about it carefully, and was still hesitating to step forward to take off the mask just now, but when he saw the flowers, he didn't even hesitate at all, as if something had already been decided. Definitely uncontrollable consciousness again, Han Wei immediately told Lao Zheng what happened just now, and now it seems that the most strange thing is not the corpse in the sarcophagus, but the demonic flower.
What is this flower, Han Wei shortsword clenched in his hand, and he could shoot at any time, he didn't believe that under the sharp short sword, the flower could still hold on. Lao Zheng also felt that he should test the weird flowers, and maybe he could find some clues to the sarcophagus.
As soon as the short sword touched the flower, it quickly turned fiery red and purple-black, exuding a chill. Immediately, the petals grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the flower grew four or five times, and Han Wei's arm spread. Han Wei wanted to retract the short sword, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it back, and the short sword was entangled in something.
Suddenly, all the petals spread out, like a beast with its mouth open, ready to devour Han Wei. In addition to the darkness, what Han Wei could see was endless darkness, and the light in the cave seemed to suddenly go out. The whole cave was unusually quiet, and only the sound of its own pounding heartbeat could be heard, and in the boundless darkness, the beating was getting slower and slower, and it could stop at any time.
At this moment, a short sword struck in the dark, and Han Wei found that it was exactly the same as the short sword in his hand. Han Wei has used the short sword for so long, he is very familiar with it, and he is confident that he will not be mistaken. However, the short sword is in his hand, and where did the attack come from at this time?
There were doubts in his heart, and he forgot to dodge for a while, and soon the short sword was almost to his throat, and the moment it touched his skin, there was a sharp pain in Han Wei's arm, and he felt that his wrist was about to break. As the pain spread quickly through his body, the dagger that had reached his throat disappeared.
Lao Zheng stepped forward and snatched the short sword in Han Wei's hand, just now, Han Wei suddenly went crazy and wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, Lao Zheng felt that Han Wei's condition was not right, so he always paid attention to this side, otherwise there would no longer be a living person in front of him, and there would be one more corpse in the cave.
"How are you?" Lao Zheng asked as he watched carefully, worried that Han Wei had not yet fully sobered up.
"It's the flower, and all the hallucinations are definitely because of the flowers." Han Wei came to his senses, and what he did just now clearly remembered that everything pointed to the mysterious and weird flower.
Lao Zheng motioned for Han Wei to step back first, picked up a fist-sized stone, and threw it into the sarcophagus without hesitation, the target was the weird flower. When the stone hits the flower, it disappears at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a maximum of five seconds, it disappears without a trace, leaving no trace.
Even if the flower withers and withers, it will leave traces, at least there will be petals, and the eyes can't be understood by common sense at all, clean and thorough makes people suspect that the flower has never existed, but Han Wei and Lao Zheng are very sure that the flower is absolutely real.
When the flowers completely dissipated, Han Wei and Lao Zheng both felt light, and there was an indescribable sense of relief, as if they had been suppressed by something before. With the disappearance of the flowers, the cave was completely quiet, Han Wei and Lao Zheng did not rush forward, but retreated a few meters, waited for a while, and still did not see any movement in the cave and the sarcophagus, and then approached the sarcophagus again.
The corpse in the sarcophagus lies there quietly, the position of the flower, probably in the abdomen of the corpse, the flower is gone, and the color of the clothes in the abdomen is obviously different from other places, the color is much darker. When I got closer, I realized that it wasn't a color problem, but a fire burn. There is only one point, the traces of the fire will leave ash and some burned substances, but I have not seen it now, and it is not completely certain whether it was burned by the fire or not.
The people in the sarcophagus can build a mausoleum in a hidden cave, and there are many bronze tripods to accompany the burial, the identity is certainly not low, it is impossible to wear tattered clothes after death, and the damage to the clothes in the abdomen in front of you is likely to be caused by a mysterious flower, what kind of flower is it? Why can it still cause people to hallucinate? Han Wei looked at Lao Zheng and saw that he was thinking, he should have thought of something.
"There is a kind of Manzhu Sawa flower, the flower is red and demonic, the leaves grow in summer, and the leaves bloom in autumn, so the flowers do not see the leaves, and there must be no flowers if there are leaves, just like the people on the other side, they can never see each other, so they are also called the flowers on the other side, which grow in the cemetery and have the meaning of the guidance of the Yellow Spring." Lao Zheng's tone and expression didn't quite believe that the flower he saw just now was Manzhu Sawah, paused for a moment, and then said: "Manzhu Sawa has a stem, and the flower grows at the top of the stem, and I have never heard of black and purple, and the most important thing is that it has a special smell." ”
Lao Zheng said that Manzhu Sawa is very similar to the flower he saw just now, and at the same time, there are many obvious differences, such as flower stems and smells, the flowers seen in the sarcophagus have no flower stems at all, and at the same time they can't smell any special smell, could it be a mutant species? At this time, the flowers have disappeared, and it is impossible to compare them in detail.
No matter what kind of flower it is, why should it be kept in a sarcophagus? Flowers grow on corpses, is it to absorb the nutrients of corpses to sustain life? As a result, the body cannot be completely preserved after death, is this the result of the tomb owner's pursuit? The more prominent the person, the more concerned about the preservation of the corpse after death, and will never be willing to be violated after death, is the man in the sarcophagus not the one who built the mausoleum? Or maybe it's not a mausoleum at all, but a place of sacrifice. In ancient times, many tribes, especially in the southwest, had many strange customs and all kinds of unbelievable ancient sacrifices, and perhaps one of them was in front of them.
Han Wei was about to ask Lao Zheng, but before he could speak, Lao Zheng motioned for him to hand over the short sword. Han Wei had already noticed that Lao Zheng's gaze had been staying on the corpse's abdomen, presumably preparing to pick up the clothes to take a look, and he didn't hesitate to hand over the short sword immediately. Han Wei didn't do it himself, that was in these weird and mysterious mausoleums, Lao Zheng was much more experienced than him.
Lao Zheng gently picked up his clothes, the age should have been a long time, and it didn't take much effort to break the clothes, and many of them turned into powder. Soon, the corpse's abdomen could be seen, and the body was somewhat dry and not as well preserved as the arms and face. There was a distinct circle of redness on the abdomen, and when the short sword touched, suddenly, something moved under the abdomen, and the human skin could be seen twisting. The rest of the body didn't move, indicating that there was something under the abdomen, and it was alive.
What exactly is in the corpse? Could it be part of the weird flower before? You must know that the flowers were also moving at that time, and they were by no means ordinary plants.
The movement under the human skin grew louder and louder, and the cave was quiet, and a buzzing sound could be heard, which was coming from the corpse. Lao Zheng immediately withdrew his short sword and took a few steps back, just enough to see the situation in the sarcophagus. I saw that the abdomen of the corpse was becoming more and more distorted, and the bones under the skin could be clearly seen, and the red was a little deeper, and it was still expanding in all directions.
Suddenly, the abdomen of the corpse broke, and a stream of black blood flowed out, exuding a strong fishy smell, the first time they smelled this smell, Han Wei and Lao Zheng's stomachs were churning, and they couldn't help but vomit. It took a while to control it, but after a brief distraction, a small worm crawled out of the place where the corpse's abdomen was cracked, somewhat similar to a caterpillar, but it was very small, only about one-twentieth the size of a little thumb nail, and if you didn't look closely, you would definitely ignore it.
