Chapter 927: Ghost Maggots
Li Sichen was not worried about nervousness at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I used the vajra to cover a layer of qi wall on the skin of my palm, and it is impossible for the ghost maggot to break through this layer of qi wall and hurt me." β
Although Ma Xiaoling was born in a feng shui family, but in fact it was only a half jar of water, ghost maggots or something, she had never heard of it before, seeing Jiang Jun's solemn and nervous expression, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "This insect is a ghost maggot? Is it very powerful? I can't see it." β
Not only Ma Xiaoling, but the rest of the people also gathered around, curiously looking at the ghost maggots pinched in Li Sichen's hands.
At Li Sichen's suggestion, Jiang Jun popularized science to everyone: "Don't look at the appearance of the ghost maggot, it is indeed not very good, but its power and destructiveness are quite great! I once read an ancient book, which has the content of the description of the ghost maggot, and there is a chapter mentioning that the appearance of this ghost maggot in ancient times has caused great disasters and countless casualties. β
"For example, in the first year of Guangde in the Tang Dynasty, there was a great disaster in the Jiangdong region, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and corpses were strewn all over the field, so that parents and wives ate each other! There was also a major outbreak of diseases in the north during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi recorded this incident in his book "Speaking of Epidemic Qi", and even mentioned such a sentence: 'Every family has the pain of zombies'. According to the history books, these two events were both large-scale plagues. But in fact, this calamity is caused by the maggots! The maggots' reproductive ability and survivability are extremely strong, as long as one of them burrows into the human body, it will quickly reproduce a large group, devour the human brain, and thus control its body, so that it will become a monster that is neither human nor ghost, not burned by flames, and cannot be killed by thunder and lightning!"
"Later, the maggots, which were amazingly destructive and survivable, disappeared overnight. If it weren't for the ancient books that recorded it, I'm afraid many people wouldn't know that such an evil thing once existed. I used to think that maggots were just legendary evil things, or even imaginary and illusory things imagined by the ancients. But I didn't expect that I actually saw its existence on Yingzhou Immortal Island!"
After listening to Jiang Jun's words, the reactions of archaeological experts such as Ma Xiaoling, Gao Jin, and Bai Mengxing were quite normal, but Captain Dai and his crew, as well as several young archaeology students, all changed their expressions.
They had not had a similar experience before, and at this moment, after listening to Jiang Jun's words, and thinking of what happened just now, they were all frightened.
"Isn't this the Immortal Island of Yingzhou? Why are there these terrifying evil things on the Immortal Island?" Captain Dai asked in a trembling voice, he felt that his previous decades of life had been in vain, and today he realized that there are really many unbelievable things in this world that cannot be explained by science!
"Who told you that the fairy island will definitely be safe? Yingzhou Immortal Island, according to the description of the ancient books, is a place to communicate yin and yang, connecting life and death! Since it is linked to death, how can it be safe?" Speaking of this, Li Sichen raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized: "I finally know why there are two very different feng shui bureaus on Yingzhou Immortal Island, the immortal bureau and the Yama land, which are recorded in ancient books, and most of them are related to the communication of yin and yang, and the connection between life and death!"
People were not interested in the second half of Li Sichen's sentence, but the first half of the sentence made them feel palpitations.
Originally, they thought that although this place was weird, although it was under the sea, it was a fairy island after all, and since it had the word 'immortal', it should be very safe. Even in the hearts of many people, they are still looking forward to being able to hit the luck of this fairy island, get one or two treasures, and get one or two immortal methods, it is really the best. That's why they disdained Li Sichen's reminders and warnings before, thinking that they were alarmist.
It wasn't until this moment, when they experienced a test of life and death, and saw weird ghost maggots, terrifying flying heads, and terrifying headless bodies, that they knew that they were really too naΓ―ve!
As the crisis was resolved, everyone suddenly felt a sense of fatigue and fatigue sweeping through their bodies, which was the result of an instant spike in hormones. For a while, most of the people couldn't stand on their feet, and they fell to the ground one after another, gasping for breath and breaking out in a cold sweat.
Compared with the physical exhaustion, people's mental state is even more unbearable.
Except for Li Sichen and a few other people who had experience, the rest of the people all had a deep fear and despair rising in their hearts. And this also made everyone's morale low.
Li Sichen glanced at these people and took in all kinds of performances. However, he did not offer words of comfort, nor did he do any psychological counseling. Because this state of everyone is actually better. Because of fear and fear, they can only be obedient and obedient, and they will no longer act arbitrarily and recklessly as before.
"Gone. β
After everyone rested for a while, Li Sichen beckoned, led Ma Xiaoling, Jiang Jun and others, and strode forward.
The crew and archaeologists, although they felt very tired, still stood up and silently followed behind Li Sichen and the others, walking towards the Qionglou Temple on the top of the mountain.
Because they all understood it at this time, only by following behind Li Sichen and the others could they have a chance to save their lives. If you fall behind because you are tired, it will be more than lucky!
Fortunately, the rest of the way, although it was very tiring, did not encounter any more dangers. Even, under the guidance of Li Sichen, everyone found a pool of safe pool water, and drank it deliciously to relieve their thirst.
Two hours later, the group of exhausted people finally climbed to the top of the mountain along the white jade staircase.
I didn't think it was at the bottom of the mountain, but when I reached the top of the mountain, I found that it was shrouded in a layer of fog.
The fog was so thick that it obscured the sky and the sun, and people could only see clearly within a meter or two of their side. Far away, either you can't see it, or you can only see a vague shadow, and the shadow is so large that it is difficult to distinguish its specific situation.
The white jade staircase came to the end here, and at the end, a huge archway towered, dozens of meters high and dozens of meters wide, in the dense fog, it was like a giant beast's bloody mouth, extremely hideous and terrifying!
Others saw that this archway was nothing, but when the archaeological experts saw it, the occupational disease was immediately committed, and even forgot the danger, and they surrounded it, looked at it curiously, and talked about it.
"The material of this torii is very strange......"
"It looks like it's not gold, it's not stone, it's not wood, it's not mud, it's a bit like a bone. β
"Who will make a torii out of bones?"
"There's something weird about this place, and nothing is impossible. β
"Hey, look, there's still a word written on the archway......"
