Chapter 30: Canopy Blood Curse
White Crane Dance couldn't help much, and the other three took turns digging up. The tools were very difficult to use, and the three of them dug until the fat sea of the last shift in the evening.
Fat Dahai slashed down with a crisp sound, and after digging a few more times, Fat Dahai threw out an iron box the size of a marching medicine box from the pit. Before everyone could see what it was, the fat sea in the pit suddenly burst out: "Yes...... There are dead people. Old white! I'll leave the job to you. Fat Dahai's legs were already a little weak after coming out of the pit, and Professor Lan and Tang Tiezui also had goosebumps all over their bodies. Of course, they were not frightened by the dead themselves, but they finally determined that the peaches they ate were not "mortal".
Bai Hewu stepped forward to see that the deceased's face was tightly pasted by the roots, and what was even more peculiar was that this person was a dried corpse. The corpse is a man, and it is no longer possible to tell the age, but it is certain that he is wearing a Japanese samurai uniform, so it seems that he is very Japanese.
"Why is this root so interested in his face?" Hakuzuru Mai asked herself questions as she cleaned the face of the deceased. "Oh! I know what the reason is, the root of this tree is in the mouth of this deceased, the deceased's yin qi is too heavy, under normal circumstances, the yin and evil qi cannot invade the peach tree, but this peach tree takes root from his mouth, and the yin and evil qi invades the peach tree along with water and nutrients. Later, the peach tree wanted to expel this yin and evil qi from the body, and the ripe fruit was the only part that could accumulate the yin qi, so this yin and evil qi gradually gathered in the peach. ”
"That'...... Then if you eat this, you won't die! Fat Dahai asked tremblingly.
"I don't know if you're dead or not, but I have something to tell you." After Hakuzuru Mai finished speaking, he plucked a peach from the tree, and then split it in half with a machete: "You smell this peach." ”
When they first saw the peach, everyone was dizzy with hunger, and no one paid attention to its smell, and at this moment, when they smelled the peach, the three of them felt that there was a faint smell of blood in it. It is clear that Momoki absorbed the blood of the deceased as nutrients.
"Tsuru Dance! I smell the blood in the peaches and it's still fresh, this person can't have died recently, right? Professor Lan asked.
"Hey, this can't be, if the recently dead corpse is so closely bound to the roots." Fat Dahai was the first to deny this claim.
"I think the most likely thing is that the tree has stopped. Of course, I don't know what caused this. Hakuzuru finally added.
"If you can't think of it, don't think about it. I think the most important thing for us is to figure out what happens if we eat this peach. From now on, everyone should talk about their physical abnormalities at any time, and even if they cannot be treated, we must prevent and diagnose them as soon as possible. You eat the most in the sea, you should pay special attention, this second point is that although the institute is close at hand, but now it is getting dark, our physical condition is no longer possible, now find a place to rest is a priority. Once again, Professor Lan decided on his next move.
"Speaking of rest, I've found a good place."
The fat sea led everyone under a pillar. This pillar is three meters high and square, and the pillar is facing the entrance of the research institute, and it is built on a stone platform about ten meters long and wide, and there are five or six steps to go up to the stone platform. After approaching the pillar, the four of them found that the surface of the pillar was very flat, and they didn't know what material it was made of.
Bai Hewu stepped forward and wiped the dust on it, only to find that the pillars were lined with mirrors on all sides. Hakuzuru took a few steps back and circled around the pillar, and he noticed that each side of the pillar was painted with the same large pattern.
"Old white! What is the ghost drawing on this for? Tang Tiezui asked eagerly.
"This ...... It's familiar, but I can't remember what it does. ”
"Don't worry, take a good rest, maybe you'll remember." Professor Lan persuaded as he handed over the kettle and compressed biscuits.
Bai Hewu took two bites of the biscuit and found that Fat Dahai and Tang Tiezui were fiddling with the box dug out under the bushes, and Bai Hewu also leaned over when he saw it.
At this time, Tang and Liu had already cleaned up the soil on the box. The box is carved with charm-like patterns in all five directions except the bottom, and this box does not have anything like a wrench lock. There is only one gap near the top fifth. After discovering this gap, Fat Dahai immediately stretched out his hands and pulled out the lid.
"Why do you owe so much? You're not afraid it's a Pandora's box. Bai Hewu slapped his hand and stopped the fat sea.
"To open this box, we first have to confirm what it does." Professor Lan said: "Crane dance! Let's take a look at what these ghost talismans are for. ”
"It's like a canopy blood curse. It's a curse that needs to be activated with blood. ”
"So the person who opened the box will be cursed? So can you calculate what kind of curse the person who opens the box will receive? Tang Tiezui said.
"It doesn't matter anymore, we just need to find a way to open the box."
As soon as Professor Lan said this, the three of them cast surprised eyes.
"This box was carried by the Japanese man, and there must be something important in it, and if there is no way to avoid the curse, won't he also suffer when he takes it himself?"
In this extremely tired and mentally stressed situation, Professor Lan's thinking was still so clear and organized, which made the other three people can't help but feel a sense of admiration. So how do you unpack the box to avoid the curse? This work has to be led by the White Crane Dance.
"Old white! You look at it slowly, we are not good at this, so we will not get involved. I'm going to do something real. ”
After Fat Dahai finished speaking, he picked up the machete and walked into the peach grove. After a short time, a few mahogany trunks were dragged back.
Fat Dahai sat on the side and sharpened the mahogany sword, this thing is really practical. White Crane Dance has no clue about going here.
"No matter how I look at it, I can't avoid this curse when I open the box, it gives people the feeling that this curse is specially placed on himself."
Professor Lan asked helplessly, "Then can you see what kind of curse this is?" ”
Hakuzuru hesitated for a moment before plucking up the courage to say, "This curse shouldn't cause harm to the cursed person. ”
"The person who made this thing is not fed." Tang Tiezui was shocked. But after thinking about it, he said, "Could that be that Japanese ghost tricking people and scaring people?" ”
"This possibility is very small, you see the pattern on this, there are wide and narrow, thick and thin, and the carving is very detailed. If it's just to scare people, there's no need to make such a big effort! ”
