Chapter 14: The Gu of the Cantis

For some unknown reason, the Dian King and the sorcerer had all rotted flesh and skin on their bodies, and they were crawling with black worms, sucking their flesh and blood, looking very disgusting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 When the giant crocodile arrived at the warship, the King of Dian and the wizard laughed a few times, and actually jumped and landed on the warship, looking like a ghost.

The soldiers on the ship had never seen such a strange thing, and while they were frightened, they subconsciously took a few steps back, and even forgot to release the arrows. King Dian's blood-red eyes were full of resentment, he looked at Zhang Jia and the others with a cruel smile, and then took out a bone flute from his body and began to play.

The sound of the bone flute was extremely harsh, and it had the effect of disturbing people's minds, Zhang Jia only felt that many shadows appeared in his eyes, and his head began to be drowsy, although he understood that it was because of the flute, but he couldn't make any sound, and his body was not controlled.

At this life-and-death juncture, Tianchengzi shouted, holding a cold and shining iron sword, jumped up, and rushed to the place where the king of Dian tasted nothing, and slashed with a sword. The King of Dian laughed innocently, put down the flute, pulled out a scimitar from his waist, and fought with Tianchengzi.

As soon as the sound of the flute stopped, everyone woke up like a dream, and immediately broke free from that drowsy feeling, and it didn't take long for the body to control itself. As soon as Tianchengzi's junior disciples came back, they couldn't help but say, each holding a weapon, and rushed towards the gloomy wizard of the Dian Kingdom.

After coming to his senses, Zhang Jia broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, looking at the King of Dian tasted nothing, the fear in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he even suspected that the King of Dian and the wizard were not people, but legendary monsters. After being stunned for a while, Zhang Jia finally calmed down, and ordered a few good guards to go over to help in the battle.

But at this moment, the king of Dian tasted nothing and the wizard as if they had made an appointment, and at the same time there were words in their mouths. Suddenly, the black insects on their bodies seemed to be stimulated, spread their wings, and flew towards Zhang Jia and the others frantically.

Tianchengzi thought of something all of a sudden, rose up with all his strength, forced back the King of Dian with a sword, and turned around to tell Zhang Jia and others that the King of Dian was reciting the spell of Miao Jiang, and those insects were very likely to be Gu worms, not something that soldiers could deal with, and asked him to lead all his men back into the cabin, no matter what happened outside, don't come out.

After Tianchengzi finished speaking, he bit the tip of his tongue, spit out a trace of blood on the sword, and continued to fight with the King of Dian.

Zhang Jia was hesitating, and several soldiers couldn't hide, so they were bitten by the black Gu worm, and immediately let out a miserable scream. Under his nose, the soldiers' bodies began to decay extensively, and they soon became a blur of flesh and blood.

Zhang Jia was frightened and frightened, so he had to order to leave the Tianchengzi brothers alone, and retreated to the cabin with all the soldiers, and immediately sealed the door of the cabin to prevent those terrible Gu worms from crawling in. However, the cabin was not absolutely sealed, and some ventilation holes had not had time to be plugged, and a small number of Gu worms crawled in.

Zhang Jia led people to block those ventilation holes, and at the same time ordered his men to deal with those Gu worms. The black Gu worm is very powerful, as long as it bites, the skin of the whole body immediately decays, and finally dies in pain. But fortunately, those Gu worms are not invulnerable, just like ordinary insects, they will die if they step on it.

As time went on, more and more bugs crawled in from outside the cabins, and they were found on both the first and second decks. What's even more terrifying is that some sharks began to bite through the wooden planks of the cabin and got in from the outside, and in desperation, Zhang Jia led everyone to escape to the bottom of the warehouse.

Biaozi put down the last pair of bamboo slips and said to us: "The matter is gone here, it is obvious that Zhang Jia and those soldiers will perish at the bottom of the warehouse next, including the brothers of Tianchengzi. ”

Hearing this, everyone let out a heavy sigh of relief, and finally walked out of the tense atmosphere of the story.

Sankra sighed heavily and said: "Chinese and foreign archaeological experts have been looking for the reason for the disappearance of the ancient Dian Kingdom, but they didn't expect the ancient Dian Kingdom to fall like this, in the final analysis, it was all because of immortality. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Tan Jia, and the meaning was self-evident.

Biaozi naturally understood the meaning in Sankera's eyes, and then said: "Yes, as long as it is something that the people in power want to do, no matter how big the sacrifice is, they will not care about it." ”

Tan Jia snorted coldly and said that she couldn't help it, but she didn't say anything, because she knew better than anyone that as long as it was for the sake of immortality, even if the scientific research team sacrificed, the one above would take it for granted.

After being silent for a while, I looked back and remembered that before leaving, Tan Jia told us that the King of Dian had a strange art, so he lived for more than two hundred years. But now that I know the contents of the bamboo slips, my initial thoughts have begun to waver, and the facts are in front of me, and I can only believe that there are really people in this world who have lived to be more than 200 years old, and they are still a family.

Wu Jian seems to know something, and he tells us that what the Dian King will do is not the immortality technique we imagined, but a symbiosis technique.

Seeing our curious looks, Wu Jian said lightly: "The symbiosis technique is actually a kind of Gu technique, called the Gu Technique, which has long been lost. The cocktail, which has a very long lifespan, is a rare snake, it is said to have scales on its body and a single horn on the top of its head, which is very similar to the legendary Jiao, but it is not Jiao. According to the current explanation, it should be a kind of mutant snake, but the Gu is a man-made product. The cockroach is small, almost as large as an earthworm, and when it dies, it can only grow to the thickness of a finger. ”

In ancient times, human beings, like today, were very eager for immortality, and there was an alien in the ancient Jiuli tribe. In order to make himself immortal, this inhuman who is proficient in Gu art has a whim and develops a Gu worm, which can coexist with it after being eaten to achieve the effect of immortality. This kind of Gu worm is a mantis Gu.

However, there are positive and negative sides to everything, and since the Gu can make people immortal, there are certain drawbacks. It is said that after being eaten, the cockroach will automatically crawl to the host's heart and make its home there, because the heart is the place where the most blood in the human body is located, and the cocktail feeds on the host's blood.

The cockroach eats in a different way, it usually sleeps all the time, and only on the night of the full moon or the day of the tengu eclipse will it wake up from its slumber, and at that time, it will eat like crazy. It wasn't until the moon disappeared that the cockroach returned to its slumber.

During the time when the cockroach feeds, the host is almost in pain, and some people can't bear the pain, and even bite their tongues and commit suicide. One can imagine how terrible that pain is, but this is the price of immortality, and this price has always been with the dead body of the old man.

Biao Ziqi said: "Since it is a Miao Jiang strange art, why does the King of Dian master this thaumaturgy?" Could it be that the ancestors of the King of Dian are descendants of the Sanmiao tribe? Same origin as you? ”

"You can say that, but not exactly." Wu Jian thought for a while and said, "Maybe you don't know yet, in fact, Zhuang Ji's ancestors came from the ancient Yi tribe, and the ancient Yi and Sanmiao tribes both evolved from the Jiuli tribe in ancient times, including the other dozen or so ethnic minorities that exist. Gu art was first born from the Jiuli tribe, so Gu art is not the patent of the Miao people, but it has always been popular among the Miao people. (To be continued.) )
