The eyes of the dried corpse have completely shrunk, leaving only two black hole sockets, the mouth is incredibly wide open, revealing the broken teeth, and the entire face is deformed due to dehydration, showing a rather hideous expression, which makes people dare not face it. And from his teeth, it can be seen that this dried corpse is not a monkey, but a fake person.

Lao Itch was stunned for a moment and said, "What's going on, Lao Wu, didn't you just say that this is a monkey?" This...... This...... It's clear that he's a human. ”

I stammered, "I ...... I don't know, just now I cracked the mask, and I saw that it was indeed a monkey, or a big yellow-haired monkey, which ...... This...... It really confuses me. As I spoke, I wanted to look over to see if it was because of the light.

Master Liang suddenly waved his hand, asked me not to touch the corpse, I carefully stood up straight, flipped the mask in his hand over, I saw that behind the mask, the position of the mouth, there was a fist-sized spiral protrusion like a snail shell, and there was a small hole in it. Master Liang's mask gestured at his face, then turned to us and said, "This mask seems to have to be put on with your mouth open." ”

Old Itch said: "With your mouth open, it's like a respirator is stuffed in your mouth, how uncomfortable it is." ”

I saw the appearance of the dried corpse, the mouth was wide open, and said to Master Liang: "Could it be that there is something strange in this snail shell, you smash it and see, these masks are all grown into the flesh of these monkeys, their mouths and eyes are covered, they must have other ways to eat and see." ”

Master Liang inserted his fountain pen into the hole, and with a vigorous prie, the "snail shell" shattered, revealing a piece of what looked like a crab's foot. Master Liang pulled this thing out and found that it was a worm that he had never seen before, which had turned into a fossil shape, and if he used a little force, it would break into several pieces.

"It doesn't look like this mask was put on voluntarily." Master Liang frowned and said, "But this thing is indeed man-made, you can see that the lines on the inside of the mask are roughly the same as the cloud and thunder patterns on the tree, and it must have something to do with the person who cast this copper tree." ”

Lao Itch took the mask in, looked at it with interest for a long time, and said: "This should be the old insect from the Western Zhou Dynasty, maybe it is extinct now, no wonder we don't know each other." Ay? You see, this worm seems to be only half cut off. ”

After saying that, he looked at us. He asked, "Where did the other half go?" ”

The bug curls up in the protruding cavity of the mask's mouth, so to speak. There is only one place where the other half of this worm is, I think about this, I subconsciously look into the mouth of the dried corpse, and sure enough, I saw that in the big mouth of the black hole, another half of the worm is attached to the position of the tongue, and the dry worm body has been inserted into the throat of the corpse, I don't know what organ it entered. Because the atrophied muscles of a dried corpse are similar to those of a fossilized worm, if you don't look closely, you will think that the worm has a dry tongue.

Master Liang saw this situation. His face changed, and he shouted, "Throw it away, throw it away!" Oh my God, throw it away! This mask could be alive! With that, he slapped it with his palm, knocking off the mask in Lao Itchy's hand, and the mask quickly fell into the darkness. Hit the top of the branch, snapped, and shattered.

The old itch startled him, and he almost fell down unsteadily, and hurriedly asked him what kind of nerves he had, what is the meaning of the mask is alive?

Master Liang coughed, seemed to be very remorseful, scratched his head and pinched his brows, and said: "I'm really ashamed, why are you so stupid, why didn't you think of it earlier, this ...... Copper tree, this method of sacrifice, it is clear that it is not our Han people's thing, hey, I am really stupid, stupid to home! ”

"What the fuck are you doing?" The old itch was on fire, "What idiot, what does it have to do with noodles?" Is it okay to say something straight? ”

Master Liang waved his hand and said, "No, you listen patiently, I still have to start from the beginning, but how can I say it?" Then we have to start with the blood sacrifice we just talked about......"

Originally, the sacrificial method of blood sacrifice, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, was mainly used in the sacrificial activities of ethnic minorities, of course, the ethnic minorities at that time were completely different from us now, most of these ethnic groups have disappeared or dissolved into the Han people, large-scale blood sacrifices, there is no record in the official history of the Han nationality, but there are sporadic discoveries in some minority sites, but unfortunately due to the loss of language and writing, there is no more detailed information.

Master Liang believes that this huge sacred tree may not have come from the hands of the rulers of the Western Zhou Dynasty at that time, but from the leaders of ethnic minorities. At that time, around the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were a large number of ethnic minorities such as Sushen, Shanrong, Guifang, Qiang, Puyue, etc., most of whom were still in the slave society, and these ethnic minorities accepted the advanced metallurgical technology of the Western Zhou Dynasty and learned the culture of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Looking back now, the efficient control of labor power by slave society was much more convenient for the construction of such an unconventional thing.

The sacrificial holy places of ethnic minorities are very sacred, not only guarded by people, but also by the sacrifice to perform some kind of magic to protect their own gods from disturbance. In the legends of ethnic minorities, the process of casting spells is very mysterious, and this kind of magic has been passed down to the present, and it has been transformed into an omnipotent Gu magic in the novel.

Master Liang also said that Gu art has been divided into one point since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and another point in the Song Dynasty, and the Gu art before Qin is very powerful, almost the same as the current superpower, but all Gu art is made of insects, and Gu art was called dish insect technique at that time. These masked monkeys and dried corpses, mysterious and inexplicable, may be the product of this ancient Gu technique.

He had heard of a kind of Gu technique, called the Gu Gu, which could make people very aggressive, and now hidden in the cavity of the mouth behind the mask, the kind of worm that penetrates deep into the throat of the person, may be the original form of the ancient Gu Gu, this kind of bug may be able to affect the nervous system of animals or people, and attack strangers from outside. So when I shattered their masks, the monkey regained its original nature and began to instinctively move away from us.

The Gu is able to reproduce in the host, and when the host dies, they will cling to a certain place, such as the cavity of this mask, waiting for the next host to get closer, and then parasitize the past in some way.

This dried corpse, maybe it was the worker who was mining here at the time, and he was unlucky to encounter a dormant Gu Gu, and as a result, he was tricked and harmed this ancient evil art.

Of course, there is no record of this kind of thing, and I don't know if it's true, but it is an indisputable fact that there are bugs hidden in the mask and penetrate into the human throat, and this is definitely not an ordinary thing, so you should be careful to guard against it.

Hearing Master Liang say this, I got goosebumps all over my body, and said in my heart that this is not the same as the bridge of American movies, I can't imagine that the old American science fiction film has to learn from the technology of our ancestors, I really don't know whether to say glorious or ashamed, I turned my head to look, the weird dried corpse was still hanging there motionless, the miserable white mask seemed to be smiling, and it seemed to be waiting for us to get closer.

The old itchy face was a little ugly, muttered, and asked Master Liang: "What you said is too terrifying, so if you attach this Gu to it, it's okay to tear it off immediately, there won't be any hidden dangers, right?" ”

Master Liang said: "I haven't been hit either, the Gu is very difficult to solve, I want to attach it, there is no way to simply tear it off." This kind of thing, let's still focus on prevention, these dried corpses, we try not to get close. Uncle Tai also fell from this time, an old man like him is estimated not to have stumbled, so be careful. ”

Lao Itch frowned, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, I asked him, now like this, how much time do you have to climb, if the top is full of such dense branches, it is estimated that you will not be exhausted to the top, Lao Itch said to me, the top will be sparse, when he climbed, there was only a small flashlight, the lighting was very poor, I didn't notice these dry corpses, but anyway, since the ancient Huashan a pillar, you will not climb to other places.

I feel that this place is not suitable for a long time, so I beckoned them to go through this paragraph first, and there is a fat boss with Master Liang, this person is not here, it is likely that he is still above us, if he goes to the top first, it will be troublesome, if he is ambushed, the three of us may die in vain.

Old Itch said: "That makes sense, you wait a minute, I'll shoot a flare and see if there's any ambush up there." As he spoke, he took out his flare gun and fired a straight shot at the top.

The flare flew to the top and did not hit the head, I sighed in my heart, this bullet can at least hit a height of more than 200 meters, is it possible that there are still more than 200 meters to climb, hehe, that is really terrible.

The flare burned, and when I looked up, I couldn't figure out why it was designed, and from below, the range of 200 meters was not beyond sight, and I could still see something, although I couldn't say what it was.

The signal flare fell, and Lao Itch stared at it for a while, and said: "It seems that the fat Guangdong boss is not ambushed on it, maybe Uncle Tai will enter here alive alone, after all, the coffin array outside is not so good...... Hey, what are those? ”

When the flare fell to more than 60 meters away from us, we saw that there were a lot of protruding things on the copper tree pole of that section, and when I looked closely, the back of my head was numb, and cold sweat broke out to the soles of my feet - the whole was a distance of ten meters, and the bronze tree pole was full of faces one after another, which should be said to be that kind of weird mask.
