Chapter 5 The Scorpion

"Peng......" Mo Liancheng threw a handful of colored powder back. The powder was spilled all over the ground in an instant, and even the walls were stained. At this time, he stopped, took out this powder from his backpack again, spilled it on the ground one by one, smashed the wall and even the top a few times, and forcibly drew a separation line of about two meters with white powder before stopping.

Seeing Mo Liancheng's movements and the powder that was thrown out, Li You cried out in a lost voice: "Hydrated lime!" Looking at Mo Liancheng's eyes, they became extremely strange.

As mentioned in the "Ten Methods of the Vault", hydrated lime is a good insect repellent when encountering this kind of organ poisonous insects. Li You was just puzzled, how did Mo Liancheng know this method? This is still secondary, it can be seen from this point that Mo Liancheng has been prepared for the mechanism in the ancient tomb for a long time, but he has never mentioned it before, and this kind of intention is worrying.

The speed of the Gu worm was very fast, and it quickly reached the area covered by powder. But before they touched the powder, they retreated like an electric shock.

"Brother Mo, what is this?" Shi Guangsheng took a step slowly, and was rubbed a lot of powder by Mo Liancheng's hand, but fortunately he had a gas mask on his face, otherwise his eyes would have to be stained a lot.

"Didn't you listen to the little lobby, it's hydrated lime. As for these insects, they are called scorpions, they are a kind of Gu worms bred by combining centipedes and scorpions, and they are very powerful. Mo Liancheng wiped the cold sweat on his face, signaled Shi Guangsheng to carefully wipe off the slaked lime on his face, and said with a look of fear: "Fortunately, we have prepared slaked lime, otherwise our brothers will have to feed the silverfish tonight!" As he spoke, he glanced at Li You cautiously and said, "Xiaoyou, are you okay?" ”

Li You shook his head, and saw that the silverfish couldn't climb through the area of hydrated lime, and a boulder that was pressing on his heart fell. He felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said, "Brother Mo, you already knew that there were these dangers in this ancient tomb, right? ”

Mo Liancheng nodded with a wry smile and said with a guilty face: "That's true. But I never believed in any of these things...... That's why I didn't tell you. Speaking of this, he also said with a scared face: "Fortunately, I also made a little preparation, otherwise I would not have died by myself, and I would have affected you." ”

Shi Guangsheng's face didn't matter, and his attention was on the strange-looking silverfish in the hydrated lime isolation area. It wasn't a matter of a day or two that he and Mo Liancheng had known each other, and their trust in each other would not be affected by such a thing. Mo Liancheng's explanation was actually to Li You.

Li You nodded, and expressed his understanding of Mo Liancheng's explanation, in fact, he had known Mo Liancheng for only a few days, and Mo Liancheng could not have poured out his heart and lungs for him, and would tell him anything. He asked with trepidation, "Is there any other danger besides silverfish?" ”

Hearing this, the expression on Mo Liancheng's face froze, and after a while, he said a little strangely: "Probably, it should, it maybe...... And what's more?"

Li You's heart was cold, and he secretly said that this is the end of it. It seems that there must be many dangers in this ancient tomb, but Mo Liancheng doesn't know if he is brave or wealthy, so he came here to rob the tomb regardless of the danger, and he is really not dead or alive.

Li You suddenly became angry, there are few students who study civil engineering who play Sven, they are all good at fighting, not to mention that Li You practiced a few hands with an old man in the village when he was a child, and he fought very horizontally, at this time, he was angry, grabbed Mo Liancheng's collar with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Fuck it clear!" If there is any danger, hurry up and make it clear, don't let Lao Tzu be a fool! ”

Shi Guangsheng was startled when he saw that the blue muscles on Li You's face were bulging and his facial features were distorted. Hurriedly pushed his hand away and said, "Pay attention to quality!" Quality! Xiao Li, you are a civilized person, how can you act like a big old man! ”

Letting go of his hand, Li You felt sad in his heart.

He was originally a promising college student, but as soon as he came out of society, he was stolen of his money, and he was tricked into becoming a tomb robber in a ravine, and finally trapped in a dangerous ancient tomb; When death is on the verge of death, one of the accomplices still cares about concealing the danger, and the other will only make peace with the mud, whose fault is this? This feeling made him very tired, and he didn't know how to face the rest of his life.

Seeing Li You's depressed face, Mo Liancheng took a breath of cold air and said, "It's okay, it's all my own brothers, and I won't hide anything from you." Speaking of this, Mo Liancheng sighed and continued: "This has to start from the beginning, let's dig this ancient tomb, not just to touch the Ming artifact, but more importantly, to be entrusted by people......

Listening to Mo Liancheng's words, Shi Guangsheng looked surprised, and Li You's brows were tightly wrung up, but Mo Liancheng signaled the two not to interrupt and told the original story.

It all started a year ago.

Once, an antique dealer who collected used goods accidentally learned that there was a master tomb robber in the ancestors of Mo Liancheng, and visited him, trying to ask him to resume his ancestral business, to steal an ancient tomb, bring something out of it, and offer a price that he could not refuse. But at that time, Mo Liancheng did not agree. He kept in mind the family rules set by his ancestors, and never robbed the tomb until he had to.

But since then, the business of walking the countryside to collect old goods has also become worse and worse, and he and Shi Guangsheng often can't receive an ideal thing in a week.

Under the bleak business, Mo Liancheng came up with the idea of stealing the ancient tomb. I'm going to find a princely tomb and turn to a small business. Then, three months ago, the antique dealer came to the door again and brought up the old thing, and at the same time the price was raised by 20%. In this way, Mo Liancheng could no longer hold back. Anyway, he also wants to find an ancient tomb to practice his hands and make some windfalls. Then a rich man came to the door, and he agreed.

The antique dealer didn't know the exact location of the ancient tomb, so he only drew a rough area for Mo Liancheng. And it shows that it is a Tang tomb. These two pieces of information were enough for Mo Liancheng. Turning over the records left by the ancestors about the surrounding tombs, the relevant Tang tombs were soon found. However, after seeing the specific record of the Tang tomb, Mo Liancheng broke out in a cold sweat, and finally understood why the antique dealer was willing to pay a lot of money to ask him to steal the ancient tomb. If the records in it are true, if there are no relevant preparations, no matter how many people go, it will be a dead end.

If it were someone else, after seeing these records, he would also dispel the idea of robbing the tomb. But Mo Liancheng is an alternative. After the initial panic passed, he didn't believe that the account was true. Maybe it was boldness, or maybe the price offered by others was too high, and the desire for profit made him forget his fear, so he finally chose to make a shot.

At the end, I also said that the reason why he chose Li You to rob the tomb together was because he also knew a little bit about looking at the face and touching the bones, and at a glance he knew that I was a long-lived person and would not die easily, so he deceived me into being a partner and got some luck, after all, tomb robbing is a risky job......

After talking for a while, Mo Liancheng pushed the topic farther and farther away, but after all, he didn't return to the topic that Li You wanted to ask at the beginning, what dangers were there in the Tang Tomb, and what did the antique dealer want to look for from this ancient tomb?

Just as Li You was about to interrupt Mo Liancheng, Shi Guangsheng suddenly said nervously: "Brother Mo, Xiaoyou, look at these bugs!" ”

Hearing the prestige, in an instant, Li You felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body was cold, and he couldn't help but tremble. The silverfish that were densely packed together made a "crackling" sound like fried beans at this moment, and then pieces of wings as thin as silkworm wings grew on their bodies. After spreading its wings, the silverfish flapps its wings and takes off. Fortunately, the newborn wings were weak and weak, and the silverfish could not fly all at once, but they were able to glide a short distance on the ground.

"Holy!" The muscles on Mo Liancheng's face twitched, and he took out a handful of slaked lime and slammed it towards the position of the silverfish. The scattered lime powder suddenly made the silverfish retreat like a tide. Many silverfish stained with hydrated lime also turned their bellies one after another, and the numerous arthropods were weakly kicking around, and their lives were short.

Suddenly, a buzz of "buzzing ......" sounded, Li You's face changed greatly, and he saw that countless silverfish on the tomb road were soaring up and flying towards the position of the three people!
