It was late autumn and the night was getting dark. The wild wind blowing in the mass grave like a ghost howling and crying makes the pores of the whole body lock. After Qiao Erzi and his son saw the human bones and coffins, they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran away. But before he ran a few steps, the mountain suddenly shook, Qiao Erzi and his two sons stabilized their minds, but they saw that the road in front of them seemed to have collapsed into a big pit that was constantly cracking and expanding, and the ground behind it was still cracking and breaking.

Qiao Erzi and his son knew that something was wrong, so they hurriedly ran to the left side where there was no break. But before he could run a few steps, the ground suddenly collapsed completely, and the yellow dust raised by more than a person in a radius of two zhang was raised by the subsidence of the soil. Qiao Erzi couldn't escape, so he fell into the pit in an instant. In less than the blink of an eye, Qiao Erzi's entire body was swallowed by billowing dust.

After sliding through a dark and tortuous hole, Qiao and his two sons finally fell to the ground from the dome more than one person high, and their heads were dizzy and their eyes were black. But when he settled down, he found that he was now in a tomb made of rammed loess, and copper lamps hung from all corners and walls of the tomb. The copper lamp is actually burning! Qiao Erzi said secretly in his heart: "Is this what the ancients called the everlasting lamp?" ”

In the middle of this burial chamber is actually parked a coffin made of high-quality yellow cypress. There was still a musky smell wafting from the coffin.

Qiao Erzi and his sons took a fire fold and approached the coffin to take a closer look, only to see that the coffin was decorated with a relief honeysuckle pattern, and the lower part was decorated with an engraved grass pattern, and there was a relief pattern of the moon and the west dust on the left and right sides of the coffin.

Qiao Erzi took a deep breath, lifted the lid of the coffin, and pushed it to the ground. Suddenly, purple-black smoke continued to rise from the coffin, and the rancid smell was choking, rushing straight to the fontanelle. Once inhaled, it will run around the person, making people dizzy and sick. Like motion sickness, I want to vomit the essence of the spine and stretch the skin of the muscles and veins. overflowing with the heart and blood of the chest, bursting the spirit of the dantian.

Frightened, Qiao Erzi and his sons hurriedly ran to the tuyere at the dome thief hole, and after relieving for a while, they dared to approach again when they saw that purple smoke was no longer coming out of the coffin.

At this time, Qiao Erzi approached the coffin and took a look, only to find that the coffin was divided into two layers. It turned out that the one he had just opened was not a coffin, but a coffin. The coffin was placed on the outside of the coffin. Around the coffin are all kinds of jade, gold and silver funerary goods.

As soon as Qiao Erzi saw that there were so many things, he thought that he had made a windfall, and he couldn't care about the discomfort of his dizziness, so he worked hard and moved out one by one, and those gold, silver and jade artifacts were all priceless treasures, all of which were patterns and shapes used by the court, and there were also those in the Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty. However, he found two crystal clear bone Janes, which were made of gold thread.

In retrospect, it was just some graphics and gossip excerpts from the Three Tombs and Five Classics "Zhou Yi" and gossip. At that time, where did Qiao Erzi recognize this, he only had gold and silver in his eyes, so he disdainfully threw the Jane aside.

After emptying all the things in the outer coffin, Qiao and the two sons wanted to leave, but they couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts. He wanted to know: what kind of person could build such a tomb?

For this reason, Qiao Erzi hesitated again and again, but after some gearing up, he opened the lid of the coffin alive.

After opening the coffin, he saw that there was indeed a female corpse lying inside. The facial muscles of the female corpse were dry and black, clinging tightly to the bones, and it was a black dried corpse with skin and bones. The corpse's hair was snow-white, and it looked like he was about eighty or ninety years old when he died.

However, the clothes of this dried corpse are very solemn and luxurious, and all the utensils are ingenious and masterpiece, and the extraordinary and mundane utensils can be compared.

Especially in the place close to the heart, there is a pearl the size of an egg that emits a faint blue cold light. Under the illumination of this pearl, Qiao Erzi and his sons clearly saw that there was a corpse ginseng more than two inches thick and six inches tall in the mouth of the female corpse!

This corpse ginseng is black and ruddy, with purple leaves and black stems, and the crown stands on the top of six mulberry-like purple and black beads, which is slightly similar in appearance to ginseng, but the effect is diametrically opposite to ginseng.

Hundred-year-old ginseng can continue to live and rejuvenate the spirit. But if it is a hundred-year-old corpse ginseng, it can kill people instantly, and there is no life. Because it is a ginseng that grows in the grave, the whole body resembles a human shape, a bit like an abnormally large ginseng, but the physical properties are very cold and poisonous, so it is named corpse ginseng or ghost ginseng.

When Qiao Erzi saw this, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he secretly said in his heart: "Now the whole country is posting a list of articles, seeking corpse ginseng to treat the prime minister's strange diseases." If there is a donor, the official will be rewarded. If I had taken this thing, wouldn't I have a lifetime of "living money" to spend, and I wouldn't have to dig graves and eat so stinky that I would steal the money of the dead?

When Qiao Erzi thought of this, he immediately tore off the hem of his clothes, wrapped the corpse ginseng tightly, and then rolled up his sleeves and carefully stretched out his hand to pull the corpse ginseng out of the mouth of the dried corpse.

Qiao Erzi adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and slammed his efforts, but pulled the entire dried corpse up from the coffin. Seeing the dried corpse half-sit up from the coffin, like a corpse, Qiao Erzi and his son were also extremely frightened. He then glanced back and found that the roots and shoots of the corpse ginseng were born in the coffin board under the head of the dried corpse, and as the corpse ginseng gradually grew, it finally penetrated the skull of the dried corpse and emerged from the mouth of the dried corpse. Now after being pulled by Qiao Er and his son, the corpse ginseng was lifted up with the bottom plate of the coffin. At this time, Qiao Erzi and his sons saw: It turned out that under the bottom plate of this coffin, there was a big hole more than half a zhang wide!

After Qiao Erzi looked at it, he took out the axe used to chop wood from his waist for self-defense, and cut off the roots and veins of the corpse on the bottom plate of the coffin several times. Then, he took the body in his hand and was so happy that he was ready to leave.

At this time, Qiao Erzi and his son heard: it seemed that there was a muffled sound coming from the bottom of the cave, like the wind blowing through the stone wall cave in the field, and like the wailing and roaring of wild beasts in the distance from the deep mountains and old forests.

Suddenly, Qiao Erzi and his son saw two fluorescent green spots of light swaying there from the bottom of the cave, and the spots of light were getting bigger and bigger, closer and closer, and clearer and clearer.

At this time, I only heard Qiao Erzi and his son shout as if they had lost their souls, tearing their throats and shouting: It's not good!

As the light spots at the bottom of the cave continued to approach, Qiao Er and the two sons finally saw clearly that these two spots of light were not candle flames, but the eyes of a behemoth. Presumably, the smell of the bottom of the cave is also due to this evil animal.

Qiao Erzi hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran, and suddenly there was a loud noise, he turned his head to look, and found that there were two strong fluorescent green lights shooting from behind him, seeing that the light was so sharp, even if it was ten zhang away, it was as clear as an open flame. With just one glance, the three souls of Qiao Er's two sons were scared off by two pairs, and the six souls were bluffed and lost five or five wisps.

That monster is truly terrifying! On its head there were two right angles as thick as the arms of a man in the prime of life, the top of the right angles were sharp and sharp, like sharpened stalagmites, born at the front of the ears, and they were bent and inserted backwards in a daze. There was also a sticky, dark green dirt on the horns, and the texture was like the silt in a swamp, emitting an inexplicable stench.

The monster was covered with thick scales, but it was only very thick, but because it was sealed by the thick black grease on its body like a pulp, it was impossible to see the number and color of the scales.

Its face was covered with a thick layer of black grease, and the grease was densely covered with ringworm scabies the size of corn kernels, which seemed to be filled with pus, as if it was gently pinched with its hands, and the pus would squirt out in an instant. Now, its two eyes, like huge goose eggs, were shining fiercely, and it was crawling quickly through the tomb on its knees, and the afterglow of those eyes made it clear that the monster's hideous expression could be seen. It grinned like a crocodile, showing two fangs like an iron pestle, and was chasing and pounced on the prey that was about to arrive, at this time its expression was both arrogant and proud, and the mouth kept drooling, flowing in the mouth, and sticky flowed a watermark on the ground, which shows that this monster is already bound to Qiao Erzi and salivate.

At this time, Qiao Erzi saw the monster rushing towards him, and hurriedly ran. But suddenly he stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground in an instant.

Qiao Erzi saw that he had tripped over the axe that fell on the ground, and now his ankle had been cut off and a large piece of flesh and blood had been cut off. Blood flowed from his legs, and he screamed in pain. But in order to take care of their lives, Qiao Erzi immediately picked up the axe, held it in his hand, endured the severe pain, and kept running forward.

Suddenly, Qiao Erzi and the two sons found that the strange beast no longer chased him, but greedily licked the blood on the ground with a tongue covered with steel needles, and the expression on his face was completely less hideous than just now, but very relaxed and intoxicated, as if he was enjoying an incomparable food.

Qiao Erzi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly continued to run forward. At this time, he suddenly saw: there is a small ear room in front of him!

Qiao Erzi and his son immediately ran in. The transept is indeed very small, and the space inside can only accommodate three people at most. And that door was only big enough for one person to enter.

At this time, the monster smelled the blood stains left by Qiao Erzi and rushed to the door of the ear room, but it was too large to enter through the door. Seeing that the food was in front of him, but there was no blessing to endure, this pain made the monster feel so uncomfortable that it was like a hundred claws and angry. So, with all its strength, it kept pounding the doorway with its hard head, hoping to knock the wall of the doorway down so that it could go in and feast on its prey.

Qiao Erzi was so frightened that they gathered together and leaned tightly against the wall behind them. At this time, only a loud "boom" was heard, like a landslide and the ground cracked, and a heavy stone tablet smashed down from the top of the ear room, and then tightly sealed the small door of the ear room.

After the stele landed, Qiao Erzi and his son looked at the stele. I saw that the stone tablet was engraved with the shape of the monster. So he approached the stele and began to look at its contents.

The stele says that this monster is a beast of prey in ancient times, and its name is "moving the mountain carapace", which is the offspring of the cross between the swine and the pangolin. It is fed by corpse ginseng and rotten gas, and continues to live and maintain health. It is a fierce beast with extremely murderous spirit and extremely yin pulse, and he likes to eat two kinds of things in his life: one is dragon brain, and the other is the human heart, especially the heart of the wicked. Because it is said that the heart of the wicked can emit a faint smell, and the nose of the wolf dog is more than a hundred times more sensitive, so it likes that smell. But if it really can't find the wicked to eat, it will settle for the second best thing, eating the rotting dead. Therefore, it integrates the anger and evil energy of zombies and ghosts, and has an extremely long lifespan, relying on sucking the autopsy water of human corpses to absorb nutrients and continue to grow muscles.

Because of the reason for eating carrion from corpses all year round, the evil corpse qi on this monster is extremely heavy, and there is corpse poison all over the body, and even its saliva is extremely corrosive. As long as it gets on the skin of a person, that piece of skin will instantly fester. Legend has it that it can also breathe fire in its mouth, which is changed by zombies, and the zombies first become drought, and then change into a wolf.

Qiao Erzi only remembered at this time: The two stone statues he saw in front of the archway of the tomb just now were this kind of thing.

Qiao Erliangzi: I have seen the stone statue, and it is a unicorn!

This beast looks very similar to the unicorn, and it is said that it is the ancestor of the unicorn. But the ancestor of the unicorn is Yinglong, a kind of Rui beast, which will only appear in the peaceful and prosperous era. And the unicorn is compassionate, and the ancient book says: "The unicorn does not perform insects, and does not break grass." It means that even small insects are reluctant to step to death, and even small grass is reluctant to step on it. In particular, the water unicorn is mild-tempered, and often protects and protects the people, so it is very pleasing to people.

And this kind of monster, with horns like a deer, has no forks and is long and straight; The head is like a camel, but the frontal bone is sunken; The ears are like cats, but they are huge and leaning forward; The eyes are like shrimps, but they are bulging and green; The mouth is like that of a donkey, but it is black and purple; His hair is like that of a lion, but he is black and hard; The neck is like a serpent, but it is covered with iron armor and has reverse scales; abdomen mirage-like, but with cortical folds; The scales are like carp, but they are hard and abnormal, with nine scales and armor scattered and dense; The tail is like a fan, but the muscles and bones are strong. The front claws are like an eagle, but they have six fingers, and the hind claws are like a tiger, but they are as fat as a bear's paws, and the nails of the hind claws are also a sharp weapon for digging the earth. Therefore, it can be seen that the stone carving outside the archway is not a unicorn, but a strange one.

At this moment, a green light the size of a pigeon's egg suddenly shot in from outside the door, and then a foul smell like rotting flesh came from outside the door.

Qiao Erzi hurriedly covered his nose and said to himself: No wonder I fell into the big pit and smashed into the tomb, it turned out that the ground was hollowed out by this monster, and it was all crusts!

Qiao Erzi was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the sound of the clod of soil outside the door, and then there were bigger and bigger spots of light penetrating from under the boulder door, and the fingers of a sharp claw were revealed at the entrance of the cave, and as the entrance of the cave continued to expand, Qiao Erzi saw that it was the paw of a pangolin.

The hole dug by the moisser grew larger and larger, and its huge body suddenly arched upward, and with its stiff back, it lifted the boulder at the entrance of the tomb from the bottom. Faced with this situation, Qiao Erzi and his son were stunned all of a sudden! Seeing the moving beetle rushing towards the house,

The hole dug by the moisser grew larger and larger, and its huge body suddenly arched upward, and with its stiff back, it lifted the boulder at the entrance of the tomb from the bottom. Faced with this situation, Qiao Erzi and his son were stunned all of a sudden! Seeing the mogging beetle rushing towards the house, Qiao Erzi and the two sons went crazy and picked up the bloody axe in their hands and slashed at the fierce motcat.

This mountain-moving beast is an ancient beast in the end, and the sharp claws swooped down, and then swept over the shoulders of Qiao Erzi and his sons, and hooked Qiao Erzi's arms into five deep blood marks, and even the skin and flesh were hooked off.

Qiao Erzi suffered a heavy pain, thinking that he would definitely die. But who knows: the moving beetle suddenly stopped moving, slowly raised the paws stained with the blood of Qiao Er's son, reached the tip of his nose, and smelled intoxicated. After smelling it, he took two greedy bites of "Yu Yu", and licked the blood on his paws, as if he had tasted a rare delicacy.

Qiao Erzi was in unbearable pain, and was about to hide in the house, but they were suddenly pushed by the head of the moving mountain carapace. Qiao Er's two sons were pushed back step by step by the force of the moving beetle, and they were about to be pushed back to the tomb.

As soon as Qiao Er's two sons saw this, their desire to survive suddenly flourished, and they struggled to hold the axe in their hands tightly with both hands and slashed at the neck of the mountain mover. Hearing only the sound of "dang", the tiger's mouth on Qiao Erzi's hands was shocked to pain, and then he didn't seem to have any reaction to the blow he had just struggled to, and he was still rushing towards Qiao Erzi and his son.

Such a heavy blow not only did not hurt this evil beast in the slightest, but it could not even distract it!

Qiao Erzi looked at the axe in his hand in surprise and was knocked out of four or five gaps the size of rice grains. And his hands were also shaken to the point of blood.

At this time, the moisser suddenly let out an angry roar, it clenched its jagged fangs, grinned at its fat mouth, and the left and right ends of the big mouth seemed to open directly to the root of the ears on the top of its head, exposing all the long teeth stained with yellow dirt and oil in its mouth, and it seemed to use its front paws to dig the loess on the ground, and then violently attacked Qiao Erzi and his son.

Qiao Erzi finally couldn't resist it, and was bumped into the ear room where he was hiding just now.

The tomb was silent, but in the ear room, there was a heart-rending roar from Qiao Er's sons. The roar seemed to be a wail and a scream that had exhausted the last of its strength, and then the entire burial chamber was silent, and only the sound of the grotesque sticky saliva slamming into the ground could be clearly heard.

Immediately after, a harsh, deep cry came from Fang Cai's ear room, and then the heavy, rapid wheezing of the moving beetle gradually approached, and even the ground shook violently.

At this moment, Qiao Erzi and his two sons were lying on their backs under the body of the mountain mover. His two hands tightly grasped a piece of gray-white scales about a foot long and five inches wide under the throat of the movers, and his feet were tightly hooked on the lower abdomen of the movers, who were now jolting through the burial chamber with the body of the movers. When Qiao Erzi was sticking to the belly of the monster, he found that the belly of the monster was very soft and tender, and it was completely protected by scales and armor, which was where his death point was located.

At this time, the monster was shaking its body non-stop, and at the same time it rose up and swooped upward. The mouth kept making a roaring sound, and the sticky and long saliva slid down the long fangs, all the way to the neck, and slid onto Qiao Erzi's hands.

Qiao Erzi and his son knew that the strange saliva corpse was full of poison and corroded muscles and bones. He hurriedly tore off the strip of cloth from his clothes and wiped it. But the strange thing was that the mucus was like water on his skin, and there was no sign of corrosion.

Qiao Erzi was surprised, so he immediately shook his hand, and the slime was thrown to the ground, and the corrupt ash smoke rose in an instant.

Qiao Erzi saw that his skin, which had been scratched by the monster, was emitting cold light at this time. When Qiao Erzi and his son were thinking about it, the strange man suddenly turned around and threw Qiao Erzi off violently.

The monster screamed, bleeding from the bottom of its neck. Qiao Erzi looked into his hand: he was actually holding a bloody and strange scale in his hand. The strange beast rushed towards Qiao Erzi like crazy, Qiao Erzi knew that the monster's belly was very soft, so he hurriedly lay on his back on the ground, and at the same time raised his axe, wanting to kill the strange monster by disembowelment! But who knew that the monster was very cunning, as if he had guessed the thoughts of Qiao Erzi and his sons, and he actually slapped his right front paw to the side, and he was about to fall towards Qiao Erzi's neck. Qiao Erzi fought desperately, saw the strange claw and wrist joints, and sharpened them with an axe. In an instant, above Qiao Erzi's head, there was a lumpy thing like blood and sandbags flying out like a black bat!

Qiao Erzi and his son looked at the evil beast carefully, and couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the right front leg of the evil animal was already suspended in the air at this time, and when I looked closely, the claws of the right leg in front of me were no longer visible, and at this moment only a cylindrical bone segment was left to bleed, so it was not miserable! 、

The monster began to scurry and scurry, and the chamber began to collapse. In order to survive, Qiao Erzi and his two sons had an idea, squeezed the blood in their hands onto the axe, and then brought a lot of gold and silver burial goods to build a platform. Place the axe with the blade facing upwards on this platform. Standing on the opposite side, he blew his fingers and deliberately lured the monster through the axe to pounce on himself.

The monster heard the whistle, and sure enough, he hit the plan. He struggled to sprint towards Qiao Erzi and his son, but when he passed by the axe, he was deeply slid into the belly by the sharp blade of the axe, and when he rushed in front of Qiao Erzi and his son, he was already a disemboweled corpse.

Qiao Erzi saw that the strange beast was dead, and finally put down a stone in his heart. At this time, he suddenly saw a brown-black hard lump the size of an adult's fist falling not far away, and he ran forward, but he was shocked to find that this brown-black lump was none other than the right claw of the mountain-moving carapace that had been cut off alive!

Qiao Erzi recalled the moment when he was caught by the strange: his skin was as if he had been cut by an ice blade, and his hairs stood on end with cold. When the black armor pierced into the flesh and skin, it didn't hurt very much because of the cold. And wherever this strange creature has been scratched, only blood marks are left, but there is no burning pain and bloating, although it hurts, it hurts, but it feels more refreshed and energetic.

Qiao Erzi looked at the claw carefully, and saw that although it looked stiff like a stone, it was divided into six fingers, and the luster of the finger ends was like the hair of the twenty-eight girl who had just smeared the osmanthus essential oil, dark and shiny, and the brilliance was restrained.

Qiao Erzi timidly and tremblingly stretched out his hand, and gently touched the nail of the broken claw with the tip of his fingers, which was like a finely polished bone tool, delicate and smooth, and cold to the bone, and a clear spirit was like a mountain stream spring water encountering a sponge directly into the body, reaching the heart, making people breathe smoothly and energetically.

Qiao Erzi and his two sons are now clear: the broken claw of this mountain-moving beetle is actually a treasure that is rare in a thousand years! After he was caught by that monster just now, he was no longer afraid of being corrupted by the poisonous blood of that monster. It can be seen from this that all things are created and mutually restricted. This strange claw is the only magic weapon to relieve the poison of its blood, that is, the poison of rotten bones and corpses for thousands of years, and the thick and aggressive qi! If he takes away this broken claw, from now on, won't it be like a vajra protecting the body, and all diseases will not be born, and all evils will be incurred?

When Qiao Erzi thought of this, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement and joy!

At this time, the tomb had already shown the power of collapse, and Qiao Erzi didn't dare to delay, so he quickly took the corpse ginseng in one hand, wrapped the brown-black broken claw, and ran out of the tomb in his arms.
