Chapter Eighty-Six: Uncle Liu's Secret

The pungent and unpleasant stench got worse and worse, but when I covered my nose and tried to retreat, the worm had already taken advantage of my vigilance to attack, biting my neck and slapping my abdomen!

The moment it was bitten, I didn't feel anything, I saw the old clock's face turned blue, but I was still looking at them in a daze, and then the next second I was thrown aside by the huge corpse worm, so strong that I almost twisted my neck off, the back of my neck ached faintly, and I was still in a state of panic when I fell to the ground.

At this moment, the place where I was bitten suddenly itched unbearably, and for a while I felt numb in my feet, and I almost lost my sense of touch, presumably poisoned.

Then I saw the old bell and they were running towards me anxiously and yelling, and the old bell brandished his long knife and struck the beetle that had bitten my neck with one blow.

More beetles were pouring towards us, and I had to get up in pain and chase away the bugs like the old bell. All the equipment we brought was left with Chen Yun, we only had knives in our hands, and there was no way to deal with it at all.

Just when everyone was anxious, there was a messy footstep behind them, and then a voice came, "I don't know if I'm alive or dead, this is a corpse worm, quickly cover your nose!" ”

The sudden sound made me stunned for a moment, and when I turned my head, I saw a figure that I could never have imagined standing behind us, followed by a black object thrown from his hand, forming a parabola in the air, and falling over our heads and falling in front of the insect tide.

Is it *?

Bang!

Before I could see what it was, the black solid that had already exploded on the ground exploded, and there was a muffled sound, and a thick white smoke filled the surface.

Then the figure behind me ran frantically towards us, and within three seconds, the whole space was covered in that white smoke, and I took a puff and felt a choking smell of sulfur, which I couldn't stop.

Old Zhong also choked and coughed, and then ran towards the place where the black shadow appeared just now, until the two sides met, and Ge Zhuang suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle Liu, why are you here?" ”

It was no one else who appeared in front of us at this moment and relieved our danger, it was the old man who guarded the door that we met at Professor He's house before, but compared to the previous cowering imagination, Uncle Liu's momentum at this moment was very different, wearing a black tights, and a black coat over the tights, dressed like a black gold warrior in the "Matrix".

"Hurry up, don't ask!" Uncle Liu dragged us towards the cave, and Lao Zhong and I glanced at each other, so we could only follow him up.

Walking through the cave where we met these stone statues, Uncle Liu instead led us into a smaller stone crevice, and behind us was the constant thick smoke, so that those black insects did not dare to approach us easily.

Finally getting rid of the beetle behind me, Uncle Liu came forward to help disinfect my wound, my face turned blue with pain on the ground, and I couldn't help asking, "Uncle Liu, why are you here?" ”

After a burst of wild running, everyone gasped and leaned against the stone wall to rest, at this time we don't know where we ran into the belly of the mountain, Uncle Liu first wrapped the wound for me with gauze, and then raised his head, looked at me and said, "You boys are embarrassed to ask, I came here for the old man." ”

"Professor He, you say?" I asked.

Uncle Liu's tense face turned into a piece of cold iron, and said If it weren't for him, how could I put a good life for the elderly but come to this place by trekking through mountains and rivers?

I smiled bitterly, "Uncle Liu, it seems that we underestimated you, but I didn't expect you to be so capable, and you actually know how to restrain those corpse insects." "Uncle Liu finished giving me the antidote potion, saying what's strange about this, snakes, insects, rats and ants are afraid of sulfur, as long as they sprinkle sulfur, these insects will not dare to approach rashly.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the injury to my calf was fine, but he still frowned, and said, "Those corpse insects are the legendary Bayene centipede insects, and the surface of their bodies is extremely poisonous...... It's lucky that you met me, if you don't have these first-aid antidotes, I'm afraid you will die of poison in less than two hours. ”

I wondered, "Uncle Liu, how do you know so much about these bugs?" ”

While packing up the disinfection tools, he looked at me with a serious face, "I was at the same time as Lao He when I was young, I have been to this southern Xinjiang once before, and I have also dealt with many local indigenous people, this method of deworming was taught to me by a Gu master of the Yi nationality!" ”

I had a lot of questions in my heart, and since the crisis had been temporarily contacted, I looked at Uncle Liu's face and said, "Uncle Liu, you really don't look as simple as you seem. ”

He smiled, looked up at me and said, "What, what's wrong?" ”

I said, have you been following us? Uncle Liu shook his head and said, "Fart, I still need to follow you, I read Lao He's notebook earlier than any of you, and I already knew that the Yelang Ruins would be here." ”

I said yes, before that, Xiao Zhang was suddenly attacked by a person in the hospital, and that person still wanted to steal the record book left by Professor He, did you do it?

Hearing my words, Uncle Liu glanced up at me and said You kid is quite smart, how do you know?

I said it's just speculation, but you're not fooling yourself, are you? Uncle Liu, I'm very grateful that you saved us, but what is the purpose of you following us here, can you tell me? Also, why did we rob the notebook we found in Professor He's study?

Uncle Liu seemed to smile, raised his head and said, "What, this is the beginning of the interrogation of your savior?" ”

I said you don't have to, but you should be alone, no matter what you came here for, whether it was to save Professor Ho or if there was another way, without our help, you wouldn't be able to do anything.

Uncle Liu put his hand in his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, then took a deep breath, stared at me with swarthy eyes, and said that I stunned Xiaozhang before, I didn't want you to get involved in this troubled water, who knows what happened, I didn't steal Lao He's record book, but let you find out the clues, alas!

I said, why are you trying to stop us?

Uncle Liu didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Boy, back then, like Lao He, I was an archaeological expert in the organization, do you know why I was imprisoned and deprived of all my titles?" "I said it shouldn't be for the inverted fight, right?

He said that it can be said that it can be said that it can be said that it is not, all in all, the hidden secrets of Cuba and Shu are too big, and there are many people involved in the investigation, but once some discoveries are announced, it is very likely to subvert our perception of the world, and I also participated in similar investigations back then, so I know very well in my heart that if you are allowed to continue the investigation, you will definitely get into trouble, and if it is not for the secret of these histories, I will not go to prison.

I said, what kind of history are you hiding, can you tell it and listen to it?

Uncle Liu smiled and said that some secrets can only rot in my heart, and I can't tell anyone, in short, I am also kind enough to remind you that it is best not to continue to investigate, and after finding Lao He, you can go home.

My intuition tells me that Uncle Liu must have too many secrets hidden in his stomach to prevent us from approaching the ruins of Gu Yelang like this, and these secrets are probably the direction that Chen Yun wants to investigate, and he is not a simple person.
