Chapter 259: Worms
Lu Hengming snatched the torch from my hand, only to see him holding the torch and shining forward, it is true that wherever the torch can 'shoot', there is no trace of Anu...
"Could this path be wrong?" This is the first thing that comes to my mind.
"That's right, this one." Xuyu said very definitely: "The ghost inscription on the stone wall just now also mentions the blood-haired vine, the original meaning of this vine is the meaning of imprisonment, and there are many underworld runes in this tomb, which is actually to trap the soul of the deceased and make it never reborn."
I frowned at what I had seen in my dreams.
After those bits and pieces were put together, it should have been my words, which harmed 'Meng' Tianyi, and then I, the princess of the Yan family, was dragged into the coffin of a living person, suppressed in the coffin and unable to be born.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Yue and the others broke into here more than ten years ago, I don't think I would have been able to reincarnate.
As he spoke, he leaned over and picked up the flashlight on the ground, the beam of which shone farther than the torches, and we saw some wet footprints on the ground.
It is very likely that the footprints were left by Anu, so we followed the footprints and continued to walk forward.
Lu Hengming was very cautious, Anu suddenly disappeared, and there were no more people around him, and now he was also alone, so he became more and more careful.
"Look, the one up up front is the entrance." I pointed to the stone 'door' in front of me where the beam of the flashlight hit.
This is a rectangular stone 'door', with dense words engraved on it, and on the top of the 'door' is carved a blooming 'flower' on the other side, this 'flower' has no color, and it does not shine brightly, which is not the same as the previous one.
Lu Hengming stood two meters away, holding a torch and looking at me and Xuyu.
"Open the door." He commanded.
Xuyu lowered his head and looked at the ghost text on it carefully, but I looked at the 'flowers' on the other side, the previous 'flowers' on the other side were all budding and waiting to be released, only this one was in full bloom, does that mean that this is where the coffin of the living is located?
Suddenly, there was a "snap" behind me, and Xu Yu and I both turned our heads violently, and then I saw my grandmother who fell to the ground!
"Grandma?" I looked at my grandmother who suddenly appeared in amazement, why was she here? When we used the flashlight beam just now, we didn't see her at all, just the clumps of bloody hair vines, could it be that she was hiding in the blood hair vines?
I snatched the flashlight from the void and shone it carefully towards the clumps of blood-haired vines on top.
It was found that Anu had been wrapped in clumps of bloody vines, and even her mouth was tightly wrapped, so there was no way to make any sound, and the footprints with water on the ground should be grandma's.
Grandma wanted to sneak attack Lu Hengming, but it was obvious that Lu Hengming was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.
Lu Hengming saw his grandmother fall to the ground, and the original cautious expression on his face immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Hmph, you're not dead yet?" Lu Hengming looked at his grandmother and smiled coldly.
Grandma struggled to get up, but was stepped on her back by Lu Hengming.
"Lu Hengming, stop." I went over to push Lu Hengming away and found that there was something small moving in the skin on my grandmother's face.
"Grandma, it seems that a blood-haired vine has crawled into your skin." I looked at the thing moving under my skin, and immediately put down my backpack to see if there was anything in it that could cut my grandmother's skin.
The fat man said to the master that this thing is not poisonous when it enters the skin, as long as it is pulled out.
"Don't waste your efforts, it's not a bloody vine, it's a worm, this kind of worm is also an ancient worm, not to mention human skin, even human bones can still be hollowed out, and they reproduce very quickly, even if they enter the body, they can quickly divide, and multiply rapidly in the human body, maybe only one or two hours at most, can hollow out a big living person." Lu Hengming glanced at his grandmother and said lightly.
Moreover, he waved his hand at me, saying that if he got too close to his body, if there was a wound on his body, the worm might still come out of my grandmother's skin and find a fresh host.
"Don't talk nonsense." When I said this, I already thought of the mollusc worm on the tomb keeper beast, could it be a parasite on the tomb keeper beast?
"He's right, it's better for you to stay out of the way." Xuyu was originally standing in front of the stone 'gate', but suddenly walked up to me and said a word, then took the flashlight away, and followed the ghost text on the stone wall.
"Pop" A blood-haired vine fell from above, and it was Anu struggling with all her might, but her body seemed to have been sucked dry, and her cheeks were sunken terribly, as if she had become a human skin in an instant.
Lu Hengming glanced at Anu, who was staring at him for help, but looked away as if he were ignoring.
Anu was indeed hopeless when he was wrapped in so many blood-haired vines, but Lu Hengming's behavior was indeed a little cold-blooded.
He held the torch, as if nothing was wrong, and walked under Anu himself, and raised the torch to light the blood-haired vine.
Anu's eyes widened in despair, and the firelight fused her with the blood-haired vine.
At this time, my grandmother suddenly grabbed my wrist tightly, and looked at her expression, as if she wanted to say something to me.
So, I hurriedly leaned over and tilted my ears sideways, trying to hear what she was trying to say.
"Little rhino, run." Grandma only said these three words, and her body was a 'pump', and I looked at my grandma in a daze, feeling that something had changed in her body.
But because the light here is too dark, so I can't see clearly, grandma saw me looking at her blankly, and suddenly her eyes turned red, and she said: "Little rhino, I'm sorry for you, in fact, back then, when you were just born, I hugged you who couldn't stop crying, and I really regarded you as my own child, but my son?"
Grandma seemed a little out of breath when she said this.
My hand was holding my grandmother, and I could clearly feel that something was squirming rapidly in my grandmother's clothes.
"Grandma, don't say it." Childhood memories come flooding back, no matter what my grandmother did later, she once loved my granddaughter.
"Your mother was born after I gave birth for two days, and the pain is really heartbreaking, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it in the future, so I haven't really hurt her since I was a child, and then she became like that, and I have always regretted it." Grandma said with scarlet eyes: "In my life, after all, I have lived as a joke, and I have not saved anyone."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and what could come out of her eyes was not tears but blood.
"Grandma?" I was shocked and gently shook my grandmother's shoulder.
Grandma opened her eyes again, and a soft-bodied insect of more than ten centimeters crawled out of her eye, and the body of this insect was 'fat', and it was about to catch up with Grandma's eye sockets.
"Ahh I was shocked by this sudden scene, and couldn't help but scream, a big hand behind me pulled me back, I moved a few steps back, and my grandmother instantly landed on her back.
Just as I was about to go over to see my grandmother's condition, I noticed that her body was rapidly drying up at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
And in the next second, a 'fat' soft body worm crawled out of my grandmother's sleeves and facial features, this scene, I think, I will never forget in this life.
Xuyu dragged me back to the edge of the stone gate, and the movements of these mollusks were not fast, they were just wriggling, but the number was amazing, large and small, at least about a hundred.
And we are so blocked by them, Lu Hengming finished reading the ghost text above, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the other side of the 'flower' on the stone 'door', and rotated it a few times in the left and right directions.
I heard a very heavy "bang", followed by a "boom", and the stone door was opened.
Lu Hengming turned sideways at a very fast speed, as if he was afraid that there was any hidden weapon 'shooting' out of it, but we all held our breath and waited for more than ten seconds, but we didn't see any hidden weapon 'shooting' out of it, so our hearts finally relaxed a little.
Xuyu turned his head sideways and glanced into the stone 'door', but there was no expression on his face.
And, without squeaking, he walked inside.
Lu Hengming and I also followed, and I almost saw the red 'colored' coffin hanging from the chain at a glance, this coffin was redder than those blood coffins, and there was an indescribable strangeness in this red.
Moreover, the coffin is suspended underneath, as if it had been an illusion of a bone building, a hollow-shaped structure surrounded by a square wooden "corridor" in which the coffin hangs.
This is completely different from the tomb of the princess of Yan Shi in my imagination, and there is also a "jade" corridor outside, which is extremely gorgeous, but it seems a little too simple here, compared to the fake above, this place is more like a pseudo tomb.
However, my intuition tells me that this strange coffin in front of me is definitely not fake.
I took a step forward and looked down to see what was down there, but I found that it was too deep to see what was going on underneath.
"Dress?" Looking at the hanging coffin, his eyes immediately widened, and he immediately raised his feet and prepared to climb onto the chain.
"Wait." I grabbed him: "It's useless for you to go over, the key is here." As I spoke, I took out the bag containing the evil spirit key.
I found that at this moment, those evil spirit keys were shining brightly.
There was a "fluttering" sound, and all the surrounding stone walls lit up with a strange light.
We were startled and didn't know what the light was all about, it was like a ghost fire.
"So what are you waiting for, get out of here." Void is already impatient, and now in his eyes, there is only this living coffin.
I nodded, lifted my feet and climbed up the wooden guardrail less than a meter high, I don't know if it was too old, I had just stepped on my feet when I heard a "click" sound, and then my feet were empty.
The whole body was crooked, and at this critical moment, I instinctively reached out and grabbed the iron chain attached to the coffin.
At this moment, my feet no longer have any support, and the whole person is hanging in the air, and I can only move my arms towards the coffin of the living person little by little.
