Chapter 26: The Legend of the Silkworm King
After listening to Feng Laonong tell what happened. The old farmer also asked us what was going on. I told the old farmer how we had set out from the left side of the cave and met the silkworm king and the silkworm babies like a sea of tides, and how we were trapped here. Speaking of the nameplate on the corpse and the Browning pistol, the old peasant became interested. He took the pistol from my hand and looked at it again. Then he said: "This nameplate and pistol are the same as the ones I have seen in the Shaanxi tomb" "Yes, when we saw the nameplate, I thought so!" I responded.
The old peasant touched his waist at this time and pulled out a pistol. He handed me both pistols together and motioned for me to show them. I took a look, and both pistols were exactly the same, both were Browning. It's just that the old farmer's one is well maintained and looks newer. Mine, on the other hand, looks rusty.
"This is strange, in this case, what I saw when I was fighting in Shaanxi should be a group of people in this tomb." Old farmer Feng shook his big pig's head and said to me.
"That must be it, the clothes and nameplate numbers are similar!" I responded.
"Then there must be a Ming weapon in this tomb! But this group had been here many years ago. And certainly not just the two who died. That time I also encountered such a corpse in the tomb in Shaanxi, and as a result, a few of us, I ran out alive" Feng Laonong looked very timid at this time, and the bottom of his pants seemed to be wet again. "I just saw more than ten jars in the small tomb, why don't we take them and leave, this broken jar is sold for money, and it is enough to exchange for two large tiled houses."
"What's the matter with that silkworm?" I asked Feng Laonong, "How can there be such a thing in this world?" "
Feng Laonong pondered for a moment and said: "According to legend, after the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, he was very happy, held a feast, ordered his musicians to play music, and let the soldiers dance a majestic and mighty dance with the music. At this moment when everyone was celebrating and rejoicing, I saw a beautiful girl dressed in a horse's skin, slowly descending from the sky, holding two strands of silk in yellow and white, yellow like gold, white like silver, and came to offer to the Yellow Emperor. If she pulled the edges of the horseskin and completely enveloped her body, she would immediately become a silkworm with a head like a horse, and she could spit out long, shiny silk from her mouth one after another, and it was said that clothes made of this silk could be made without water and fire, and invulnerable. This is the legend of the silkworm god. I am afraid that the silkworm you see is its descendants. According to the book, this insect is not poisonous, but its attack power is very powerful, so we must be careful. But I heard that if you can catch such a silkworm king, weave the silk it spits into clothes, and wear it on your body, you can delay the aging of the body and achieve the goal of immortality. But you also need to be careful, when I robbed the tomb with Ma Wazi before, I heard that there is a silkworm king raised by poison, which is hugely poisonous. "
"Isn't it, so amazing?" I looked at Feng Lao Nong happily, "There happens to be one in this tomb, if we catch it, won't we make a fortune?" "
"Catch a fart! With the three of us and three broken pistols, you can't hurt it at all, and if you can't catch it then, you will be eaten by it. "Old farmer Feng glanced at me. continued: "This insect itself is a fairy creature that survives by absorbing the aura of the white mulberry tree. It seems that the owner of this tomb only repaired the tomb to this place where the feng shui location is not ideal after he caught the silkworm king. The purpose is to raise this silkworm king, in order to achieve the goal of eternal immortality. "
