Back then, the second uncle and the others, according to the clues translated on those clay pots, found the entrance to the underground cave in a dry tributary of Lop Nur.

According to the description of the second uncle, it was a cave larger than a standard football field, and at that time they thought it was just an ordinary underground cave, and went down without any preparation.

But when they went deeper than ten meters underground, they found that in the depths of the cave here, there was a huge dog yellow lizard, each of which was two or three meters long, and they roughly estimated that there were at least more than two thousand here.

The dog yellow lizard became extinct thousands of years ago, and after the sixties, the climate of Lop Nur changed dramatically, and it was difficult for any creature to survive.

At that time, these lizards were in a state of deep sleep, and the second uncle and they originally planned to go back the way they came, but when they retreated to the entrance of the cave, they found that the entrance had been blown up. And at this time, the explosion on the ground above his head was continuous, and the entire cavern began to collapse.

The second uncle sighed when he said this, "Hey, Lao Tzu was still too young back then, why didn't I expect anyone to come here." ”

In fact, after the second uncle led the team into Lop Nur, another group of people followed them, and finally after they entered the cave, they blew up the entire entrance, thus sealing the cave.

Originally, the second uncle could still make a hole from other places, but what they didn't expect was that the explosion directly woke up these lizards. They hid in a narrow crevice at the bottom of the cave for three days, and finally found that seven or eight meters down from this gap was an underground river vein, but it had dried up, and a dozen of them crawled out of it.

At that time, Gu Wanling had already broken her spine from the debris of the explosion, and when they escaped, they stayed with a barefoot doctor in Ruoqiang County for three months.

And Gu Wanling became like this in those three months.

At that time, except for the second uncle, everyone else was more or less injured in that cave, but what they didn't expect was that on the fifteenth day when they went out, one of the team members suddenly became crazy and started a kind of mutation.

At first, he was just confused, and his mouth kept spitting out a yellow liquid, and then his skin began to turn brown, and after two days, the team member's face began to become deformed, and the most bizarre thing was that he had lost his ability to speak, and could only let out a strange scream.

At first, the second uncle didn't care, thinking that he was infected by the virus on the lizard, but what happened next made him feel creepy until now.

On the fifth day when the first team member had problems, the entire expedition team, except for the second uncle, everyone else had this kind of change, and what was even more incomprehensible was that Gu Wanling, who was already dead, actually began to breathe again at that time.

At this time, the second uncle realized the seriousness of the problem, and he thoroughly examined these changed people, and finally found that on their backs, a red lizard seven or eight centimeters long had burrowed under the skin.

At first, the second uncle thought that it was the virus on these lizards that made these people go crazy, but when he picked out the lizards on a person's back, this person turned into a dried corpse in just a dozen seconds, and these lizards were difficult to kill even if they were burned with fire.

In the second month of Ruoqiang County, the rest of the team had begun to grow a green scale, the cheekbones on their faces had begun to collapse, and their hair and eyebrows had all fallen out. Now the second uncle is sure that these people have become a kind of monster, a kind of monster that fuses with people and lizards.

The second uncle originally thought that these people would continue to live in this way, but at the beginning of the third month, these monsters fused with beasts suddenly began to become very weak, and died one after another, until the end of the third month, only Gu Wanling remained.

At that time, the second uncle spent a lot of money to buy the barefoot doctor, and after burning the corpses of those monsters, he took Gu Wanling back to Chengdu and bought the current courtyard.

And Gu Wanling has been kept in captivity by the second uncle at the bottom of this ancient well for the next twenty years, and just a month before I went to the tomb of the King of Shu, the second uncle's body also began to undergo abnormal changes, and his mind began to become blurred.

At that time, after the second uncle came back from Lop Nur, he found that he also had such a red lizard in his body, but this lizard only fused with the back of the second uncle, and did not continue to mutate.

In fact, the second uncle has been studying these lizards for the past twenty years, and finally found that this is a symbiotic fusion, but this fusion has some complicated conditions, if the fusion goes wrong, this fusion will fail, and it will die in just a few months.

After the second uncle finished speaking, he took off his shirt and turned around to let me look at his back. I just glanced at it, and then I gasped, at this time red scales had begun to appear on the back of the second uncle, and under the skin in the middle of these scales, there was a lizard more than ten centimeters long.

I glanced at the walls of the well around me and asked my second uncle, "Aren't these lizards .......?"

The second uncle knew what I was going to ask, shook his head and said, "These are all grown from Gu Wanling's body, and I can't tell you the specifics, but every once in a while, she will grow a meat naan from her belly, and when this meat naan is broken, there will be this red lizard inside." ”

I chuckled inwardly, "You mean... She gave birth to these? ”

"Let's just say that, Xiaoyu, we're running out of time. This notebook contains a clue that I have found in the past twenty years, and we must go to Tianchi, and only there can we take this thing out of my body. ”

If it was before going to the tomb of King Shu, I would absolutely believe these words of the second uncle, but now, I can only believe half of it, because there are still many places in this matter that are very vague, or rather, the second uncle has hidden some details.

I smiled and said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, since only I can go in, then I will definitely help you, but I have a few questions, if you don't tell me, I always feel unsure." ”

The second uncle pondered for a while and said to me, "You ask, as long as I can say, I will tell you." ”

"Second uncle, I saw a calligraphy and painting in the corridor of the tomb of the King of Shu, and it was written by you."

The second uncle looked puzzled and said, "Huh? Calligraphy? What I wrote? What is written? ”

I saw that the second uncle's reaction was not like pretending, so I told him that the meaning of the calligraphy and painting was: "The nine-headed corpse jade is here with you." ”

This sentence, I bit the words very hard, almost word by word, and kept looking at the second uncle, wanting to see his reaction.

After hearing this, the second uncle was stunned for a few seconds, and then his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said to me coldly: "Fuck it, the nine-headed corpse jade is not here with me at all, but in his hands." ”

I hurriedly asked, "Who is he?" ”

"The man who blew up the hole back then."
