Yunnan Worm Valley Chapter 30 The Devil Cries and the God Howls

I said to Fat Man and Shirley Yang: "In the past, in the barren land of the frontier, the Yi people had many customs of fertility worship, which had something to do with the harsh living environment in ancient times. At that time, human beings were still incomparably small in front of nature, the population was sparse, and natural disasters of all sizes could lead to the extinction of the entire tribe, and the only way was to have more babies, so I think this jade fetus may have been used in ancient times to pray for women to have more children, and it is a fetal totem, symbolizing the prosperity of the people. ”

The fat man smiled: "It's still good in ancient times, it's like now, there are people everywhere, and you have to engage in family planning." We should oppose having more children now, and we should have more trees, so there is no point in putting this kind of thing that does not conform to the trend of social development. I'll take it first, and go back to exchange some money for cigarettes and alcohol. ”

I nodded and said, "Although there is some truth in this, of course we should support family planning, but it is best not to touch these things casually now, because the details of this jade fetus have not yet been figured out." Our action this time is to dedicate the king's tomb to dig out the dust bead that is related to our net worth, this is the top priority, you have to prioritize. ”

Before I finished speaking, the fat man had already taken it as a deaf ear, reached out to take the jar, prepared to smash it, and took out the jade fetus in it. Shirley Yang stopped him and said to the fat man: "These antiquities of the Yi people were hidden in the belly of the giant worm by the priest of the king, which shows that it is extraordinary, and we should not act rashly until we know their purpose, and take a look at the other two things first." ”

I saw that the fat man's eyes lit up, and I didn't hear what we said to him, so I had to reach out and pull him back. Seeing this, the fat man couldn't help complaining, saying that he had come to Yunnan to eat and drink dew, his head was pinned to the waistband of his trousers, how many dangers he encountered, he rolled a few times on the tip of the knife, and a few times in the oil pot, and finally saw something real, how could he not take it?

I said to the fat man: "The treasures in the ancient tomb of the king must be piled up, why not covet the jade fetus in this jar." What's more, this jade fetus is faintly exuding an evil aura, it is not an ordinary thing, and it may cause trouble if you bring it back. We should take a long-term view, don't always stare at the things in front of us, didn't you listen to the chairman teach us that 'complaining is too strong to prevent intestinal breakage, and the scenery should be long-term'? ”

The fat man muttered: "I also heard his old man say, 'The water of Modao Kunming Pond is shallow, and watching fish is better than Fuchun River'." But the water in this pond in Yunnan is not fucking shallow at all......"

Complaining is complaining, or continue to check the other two mysterious artifacts in the big copper cabinet, otherwise an omission will only bring us more trouble to enter the tomb of King Xian.

The three of us looked at the other two compartments of the square copper box, and on the other side was a large leather bag. The skin is the fur of the clouded leopard, and there are gold and silver threads tattooed on it, all of which are patterns such as spells and secret words, and the inside is bulging, as if it contains a lot of things, and it does not feel heavy when it is lifted.

Seeing those strange spell marks, it can be shown that no matter whether the jade fetus was left by the ancient Yi people, at least the things in this leopard skin bag are related to the sacrifice of the king. The soul poking talisman of the Soul Suppression is very unique, like a bunch of tadpoles crawling in one place very regularly, which is unforgettable.

The scab technique is vicious and ferocious, and it is impossible to prevent it, but since he knows that it is related to the sacrifice of the king, he has to put his heart down and open the skin bag to find out.

At that moment, I inspected the weapons and anti-poison equipment, discussed a few words, and saw that the mouth of the leopard's skin was firmly tied with animal tendons, and it was difficult to untie it for a while, so I had to use a paratrooper knife to cut it. Let's do it together, divide it by two, and then break the tendons of the beast.

When the leopard skin bag was opened, a large pile of scattered human bones was revealed. We have already been mentally prepared, there must be corpses and bones in the soul poking talisman, so we didn't panic when we saw this, and then stepped back and watched the changes.

After a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, he returned to a closer look. I threw the bones out of the big skin and threw them on the ground, and I saw immediately that there were three skeletons. The three dry bones had no clothes on them, and I don't know if they were rotten or they didn't wear anything at all. The shape of the bones is also very peculiar, the skull is large, the arm bones are long, the leg bones are short, and the size of them are all five or six years old, but looking at the bone density, they are all old and old people, the most obvious is the teeth, not only have they grown together, but they have been worn out very strictly, and they cannot be children.

Judging from past experience, the people who were sealed by the soul piercing talisman were all slaves and other adults, and they had never seen any children, and the bone age was too disproportionate to the body shape, and it was difficult for people to figure it out.

The fat man and I had the courage to rummage through the bones to see if there was anything else peculiar, but instead of thinking about it, we turned out some ornaments, including animal teeth worn on gold rings, and scattered jade, the most conspicuous of which was a small stone statue of a black toad.

When Shirley Yang saw it, he immediately said, "This is the ornament that the Yi people wore to build a statue of the mountain god." This is not a human bone, it must be the legendary mandrill, often considered a mountain spirit. There are many detailed descriptions of it in ancient books, short stature, long arms like ape, black face and white hair, can understand human language, and can walk in the wind and rain in the mountains. But modern man has never seen it, and thinks it is a fictional creature; Some people also say that it is based on the black-faced ghost baboon, so now the black-faced ghost baboon in Africa is also called mandrill. However, the legendary mandrills of ancient China are not the same as the black-faced ghost baboons of today, and now it seems that these bones are most likely to be of the ancient mandrills, and they are the real bodies of the mountain gods. ”

It seems that these three mandrills were all killed by the king of Xian, and they were regarded by the Yi people as gods who guarded the mountain. and the jade fetus, which may be sacred objects valued by the Yi people. King Xian invaded this place, violently committed violence, and destroyed the bones of the mountain god so badly, and filled the stomach of the giant insect with the artifact of the Yimin, making it a "stomach tumor" to prevent the Huo's undead from digesting floating corpses and insect eggs, and using this perverted means to destroy the beliefs of the local people and achieve the purpose of consolidating their dominance. Whether this is the case, I am afraid that we will not know the exact answer until we enter the tomb of the king in the dragon halo and learn what he has done in his life.

We glanced at the giant insect that fell to the ground not far away, wearing dragon scale demon armor, and couldn't be killed no matter how it was beaten, it turned out that this big insect was not the original form of the mountain god, but the real mountain god was in its belly.

The middle of the copper box is much wider than the two sides, and it should be the most important item placed in this pattern. While I was moving the things in the middle with the fat man, I thought nonsense: "Bacheng is the corpse of the leader of the Yi tribe, and it may also be an important artifact that King Xian plundered from the Yi people." ”

In the middle was a small copper box similar to the square copper box outside, and we lifted it lightly twice, but we couldn't get it out. There is a grimace cast on it, the face is extremely ugly, and there are wings on the back, as if it is a yaksha who surveys the sky, and there are all kinds of strange ornaments in the details, so that people can see that it is not an ordinary thing, is it a seal of evil ghosts?

After a closer look, it turns out that the copper box has a part of the hollow, which is connected with the tiger-shaped keyhole on the side of the large copper box, which is hollowed out, and there is no lock on the box, so it can only be opened in the copper box.

In order to avoid being injured by the mechanism, he still turned to the back and used a pickaxe to hook open the lid with the ghost's head. As soon as the lid was opened, there was a faint blue and cold light, and inside the copper letter was a blue three-legged toad. The fat man said "Huh", and gently poked the toad with the mountaineering pickaxe in his hand.

The blue three-legged toad, which I don't know what material it was made of, was the size of a human head, with a plump body, its head held high, and a smug look, and its shape was rare. Regardless of the materials, it is a rare masterpiece from the image alone, and it is really a divine object.

The fat man and I swallowed saliva when I saw it, it is said that Chang'e ate the elixir of life, flew to the Moon Palace, and changed into a toad, so it is also regarded as a representative of the Moon Palace, symbolizing the high, describing a person flying Huang Tengda, which can also be said to be "the Toad Palace". The fat man and I couldn't hold back a burst of ecstasy in our hearts, and wanted to take this strange toad out of the toad palace. This blue three-legged toad must be the most valuable treasure in this Shalong Mountain, such a sacred object, let alone putting it in a bag and bringing it back, it is a blessing that has been cultivated in the previous life at a glance.

Shirley Yang Ke is much calmer than me and the fat man: "Be careful, be careful, the plants and insects in the hole are getting bigger and bigger, and there are at least two or more planes that crashed in the jungle, the root of which may be here, it guards the sky of the king's tomb......"

As soon as Shirley Yang's words fell, there was a sudden sound of bones shattering under his feet, and he hurriedly looked down to see that the three mountain god bones placed next to his feet were all shrinking and blackening. Since the oxygen content in the gourd cave was much higher than that of the skin sac, all the bones accelerated their qualitative transformation, making a sharp and strange cracking sound.

I took two steps back and said to the fat man and Shirley Young, "This mess is so evil that it doesn't matter if it's an artifact or an evil weapon, just blow it all up with explosives to avoid future trouble." So he took out the explosives from the fat man's backpack, but the fat man stuffed a lot of gold fragments in the bag, and it took him a long time to turn the explosives out.

The fat man turned around and tried to help me load the detonator, and as soon as he turned around, his feet jumped, as if he saw something scary, and he hurriedly pointed to Shirley Yang's legs. I followed his hand and almost jumped up, and a baby's cry went straight into my ears.
