Chapter 5: The Worm
Just as Commander Wu sprinkled sulfur powder on the heads of those nuns, a large number of insects soon crawled out of the soil below, and the number was staggering.
"That's the necrophyll! He likes to eat the brain marrow of corpses, and he can manipulate corpses to attack living creatures! Commander Wu said, and signaled Liu Dashuai and them not to act rashly, because these marrow corpse worms reacted extremely quickly.
Today's marrow corpse worms have quietly crawled to the top of everyone's heads, and will fall down at any time and burrow into people's scalps.
And after Commander Wu's eyes quickly glanced around, he had already found that the entrance was at the location of the peach tree.
"These marrow corpse insects are really gods, do they still have the general logical thinking of people, they know that if they guard the entrance, there is no way for us people to go there, so they deliberately squatted there" Liu Xiancheng saw such a worm for the first time.
"The exit is there, I'll bring them here, and you can light the gasoline at your chance!" The people around Commander Wu also saw that opening, so Commander Wu lowered his voice and said something to them.
But what was unpredictable was that the nuns on the ground crawled out of the dirt after being turned into their heads by the marrow worms.
The nuns who were controlled by the insects all let out a low wail, and rushed in the direction of Commander Wu, as if they were going to tear Commander Wu and them to pieces.
Commander Wu deliberately kept retreating to the corner of the wall, and at this moment the ground was full of gasoline, once the gasoline was ignited, all the nuns and marrow corpse insects would be turned into ashes by the sea of fire.
Commander Wu saw those nuns rushing towards him desperately, he had a rifle in his hand, and a bullet went directly into the head of one of the nuns at the front.
The nun at the front trembled a little, let out another emotionless wail, and after wailing, she pounced on everyone without hesitation.
Commander Wu raised his foot and kicked her abdomen hard, the nun was kicked to the ground on the side, and above their heads, there was also a sound of rustling.
Wu Jun's long eyes flicked upward, and he saw that the insects on the top had actually gathered, and there were thousands of them.
If one of them falls, then everyone will have to follow in the footsteps of these nuns.
However, it is also strange to say that these insects gather on top of their heads, but they do not take the initiative to attack them, more like watching the fire and watching the play on the other side?
"Uh-uh!" One of the nuns at the front screamed, and one jumped up from the ground like a toad, twisting her neck and making a clicking sound that made people feel heart-wrenching when they heard it.
And in the next second, this heart-wrenching voice reached the ears of Commander Wu, and the speed of these nuns was actually much faster than before.
Commander Wu turned his face sideways and saw her, directly drew his knife, and stabbed it fiercely at the top of the head of the nun in front.
I don't know if the white liquid is a brain flower, and it splashed directly on Commander Wu's face.
Commander Wu pulled back the dagger violently, kicked the nun to the ground, and wiped the mucus off his face.
Suddenly, the nun beside Commander Wu let out a scream again, and fell behind him, Commander Wu quickly turned around, and saw that the nun's entire head was covered on Liu Dashuai's cheek, Commander Wu grabbed the nun's collar and threw her to the side.
The nun was thrown on the stone wall on one side by Commander Wu, and there was no movement, and she might never get up again.
And the sound of rustling behind him still did not stop, constantly climbing to the top where everyone was, looking at more and more insects, Commander Wu helped Yuan Dashuai, almost trotting forward, because Commander Wu knew that this place was out of control, and now they could only escape.
However, after walking in the passage for a while, Commander Wu heard the sound of running water.
Is there living water ahead? As Commander Wu was thinking about it, he heard the voices of many people:
"Commander Wu, there is no road ahead, there is water underneath, and there are a few small boats."
"Then quickly help the handsome people up." While saying to the soldiers in front of him, Commander Wu kept looking behind him to see if those marrow corpse worms had caught up.
However, the passage was too dim, and if it weren't for Commander Wu's hand clutching the small lantern he had taken from the stone house, they wouldn't even be able to see the ground clearly.
"Dashuai, come down!" After Liu Dashuai sat down and after Commander Wu came down, all the soldiers hurriedly rowed the oars hard, the movements were stiff, and they rowed for a long time, and the wooden boat was still playing in circles in place.
Commander Wu was so anxious that he almost didn't pick up the boat himself, and many of them hurriedly took the oars and rowed forward, and the boat gradually left the ground.
"Poof, poof!" Those marrow corpse worms seemed to have jumped into the water, and everyone's rowing speed couldn't help but speed up, for fear of being caught up by those things.
"Dashuai, look at it!" Everyone shouted loudly.
Liu Xiancheng and Liu Dashuai thought that they had seen the marrow corpse worm, so they immediately skimmed towards the water.
As a result, I only glanced at it, and I was stunned, under this water, there were no marrow corpse insects, but a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, and the water was very clear and could be seen clearly.
Dog's head gold, agate necklace jade Ruyi, the pile is full, so much gold and silver wealth, this is a treasure!
Yuan Dashuai came here with his family, instead of running away directly, he should have wanted to take these gold and silver treasures so that he could make a comeback, but he didn't have time to take these gold and silver jewelry. Commander Wu looked at the jewels and muttered to himself.
"Marshal, don't covet the gold and silver treasures below", Commander Wu hurriedly spoke, but Liu Dashuai had already made many soldiers jump into the water to get those gold and silver treasures.
"It's over, Dashuai, quickly rescue them, there is a trap below, if the gold and silver treasures below can be taken away, Yuan Zumin would have taken them and ran away."
"What does Commander Wu mean", Liu Xiancheng was also at a loss, but the people who went into the water let out a miserable scream, and all of them turned into white bones in an instant.
"Don't go down, or you'll all all die here", Commander Wu is the same as Liu Xiancheng, if he lets his soldiers die, they will definitely not do that.
But looking at the countless gold and silver treasures below, Liu Xiancheng was unwilling to leave here in embarrassment.
"Dashuai, I have a way to take away the gold, silver and jewelry below, but not at this time, quickly, hit the gasoline barrel above with a gun, let the gasoline burn all these nuns and insects to death, if you let the soldiers go into the water again, you can only let more people die in the water."
"Dashuai, don't look below, be careful that there are things below that can confuse people's minds", Wu Junchang said anxiously, for fear that Liu Dashuai would see these gold, silver and jewelry, jump down and take some away.
"Everyone listens to Commander Wu, kill the insects on it first, the jewels here are all ours, and there will be a chance to come down in the future", although Liu Xiancheng also likes these gold and silver treasures, because even the combined wealth of his marshal's mansion is less than one percent here.
"Dashuai, this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are more valuable things below", looking at the fire on the shore, many insects were turned into nothing by gasoline, but Commander Wu had a bad premonition in his heart.
Seeing a large amount of thick smoke constantly appearing on the ground, Commander Wu knew that he had been fooled, but now it was too late to stop it, so he could only hurry up and escape from here, otherwise everyone would die here.
"Dashuai is running away, we have been tricked, we can't use fire here", Commander Wu looked at the very right corpse and black gas kept appearing, he believed that these gases were poisonous.
"Damn, even if we want to escape, we have to go together", although Commander Wu did not bring fortune to Liu Dashuai, but Commander Wu's military ability has been recognized by Liu Dashuai, and Liu Dashuai does not want Commander Wu to die here.
"Who, if you don't come out again, I'll shoot you", just when the boat slid over the top beam, Liu Xiancheng suddenly noticed that there was someone on it, and immediately pointed a gun at it.
"Big brother, why are you here", Commander Wu looked at the person above was his eldest brother, and immediately asked Liu Xiancheng and Liu Dashuai to put down the gun in his hand.
"Commander Wu, this is", Liu Xiancheng and Liu Dashuai said with cloudy eyes, if he hadn't heard Commander Wu say that this was his eldest brother, Liu Dashuai would have shot the person above a long time ago.
Liu Dashuai and Yuan Dashuai fought each other for three months, and the corpses outside the city of Banzhou were already full of corpses, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and the original people died a lot, so they could only catch strong men in their own jurisdiction to replenish the source of troops.
The ruthless war has caused the prices of the entire Guizhou Buzheng Division to rise, and the people have long had no food to eat, so the eldest brother of Commander Wu can only rob the tomb and take the treasures below out in exchange for food.
This marshal's mansion is above the tomb, today Liu Xiancheng's army is attacking the city, and the entire Banzhou Mansion is also in chaos, so many people will take care of themselves, and the eldest brother of Commander Wu will choose to do it tonight and take away some silver.
"Since it's the eldest brother of Commander Wu, everyone put down their guns, and I think it was Yuan Dashuai who led the troops to kill them back", Liu Xiancheng looked at these people and was very frightened, and it was the family of his military advisor that the outbreak of war made these people homeless, and they came here at the risk of being killed.
Although Liu Xiancheng was a warlord, he always had to give these people a way to survive after the war, otherwise the area would be prone to turmoil.
"The marshal smiled", Commander Wu knew that Liu Dashuai didn't want to fight this war, but at that time, the three major warlords of the entire Guizhou Buzheng Division were all fighting hard, and the melee would come sooner or later.
At that time, although it was already the early days of the Republic of China, the administrative planning was still in accordance with the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and Guizhou was also called the Guizhou Political Envoy, stationed in Guiyang Mansion.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Guizhou Buzheng Department set up 12 prefectures, 1 Zhili Prefecture, and 3 Zhili halls; It has a total of 13 states, 31 counties, 11 halls, and 1 bathroom, which is divided into three major sections.
The three major plates are, Anping Grain Storage Road, Guidong Road and Guixi Road.
Anping grain storage road is the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661) Anping grain storage road, jurisdiction Guiyang Mansion, Shiqian Mansion, Sizhou Mansion, Anshun Mansion, Pingyue Mansion, Pingyue Prefecture to belong;
Guidong Road: Set up in the twentieth year of Kangxi (1681), leading the town of Yuanfu, Liping Mansion, Duyun Mansion, Tongren Mansion, and Banzhou Mansion.
Guixi Road: Kangxi ten years (1671) set up, leading Qianwei Mansion, Dading Mansion, Pingyuan Mansion, Qianxi Mansion, Weining Mansion, Xingyi Mansion.
After the death of Yuan Shikai, the Beiyang warlords were divided, the provinces became independent, and Puyi abdicated, the Qing Dynasty ended, and the whole country entered a period of warlord melee, and Guizhou Buzheng was also divided by the three major warlords.
