I quickly waved my hand at Shirley Young and told her not to say any more.

But the fat man didn't think about those things: "If a woman doesn't give birth to a baby, how can she give birth to worms?" That's a bit of a mishap. ”

Shirley Yang ignored the fat man, looked at the pile of corpses, and sighed softly: "It's really miserable." Wei Yi groaned, took out a rope, tied a live rope sleeve, aimed at a dead drift floating on the surface of the water and threw it over, and immediately put it on the right, just locking the dead drift's head.

When the fat man and I saw her move, we stood by the water's edge and used our pickaxes to pull the corpse of the woman who was caught by Shirley Yang.

The fat man and I stepped on the dead drift we caught with our feet so that it would not flutter on the ground, and the three of us gathered together to watch it, and found that the corpse was indeed different from the black female corpse spit out by the giant worm.

The body of the dead drifter is densely wrapped with a layer of flesh worms, which is thicker than the thumb of an ordinary person, and the body is almost transparent, and it is not at all like the water bees we have seen in the living figurines before, this is a lifeless thing at all.

When the floating corpse is soaked underwater, it will emit a kind of eerie and cold strange light, and the light of a single dead drift is very limited, but when many female corpses gather together, the blue light seems to increase exponentially, reflecting the red rock wall of the gourd cave like jade, as if shrouded in a layer of dark cyan demonic energy.

Shirley Yang asked me to help drag the two female corpses, one black and one white, together, side by side, and repeatedly compared, the insects on the female corpse that turned black had probably been eaten by the Huo's undead insects.

I used a paratrooper knife to scrape off the insects that were attached to the surface of the female corpse, revealing a black transparent hard membrane, which was exactly the same as the corpse vomited by the Huo's undead worm.

I and the fat man and Shirley Yang were relatively silent, connecting this one thing in series, although I dare not assert it, but no matter how stupid a person is, I can estimate that there is a ** not far from ten at this moment——— this is really the evil "poison production line".

This is a large-scale sacrifice hidden in the shadow of history, the identity of these women, we do not know, they may be slaves, they may be captives, they may be local suppressed people, or more likely the dependents of craftsmen who have been made into figurines, but they must have been for one thing, that is, to provide a steady stream of resources for the poisonous fog set up on the periphery of the king's tomb, and they all died in some kind of ritual of sacrificing the king.

Shirley Yang has studied the historical materials about the ancient Dian Kingdom, and the mysterious and ancient rhizomes in various historical records have been passed by, but in the wild history, it has been mentioned that the use of "scabs" to make women conceive and lay eggs is done. When a woman is pregnant and gives birth in October, she is tortured to death, so that her fear and hatred when she is dying will pass through her body and into the eggs she laid when she dies, which is one of the most powerful poisons.

Shirley Yang previously thought that this was probably a made-up wild history distortion, but did not believe it to be true, but at this time, he compared it at the scene, and the cruel physical objects were vividly visible, so he knew that there was really such a tragedy in the world.

Probably the king occupied the territory near the worm valley, and felt that it was a place with excellent feng shui and unparalleled fairy wisdom in the world, and found the "mountain god" worshiped by the local people in the gourd cave, so the king included this gourd cave into his mausoleum area, and forbade the locals to worship the big toad to the mountain god. When the giant insect dissipated its poisonous gas and was powerless to resist, it was packed into a set of heavy dragon scale bronze armor, and put on a "Golden Six Beast Mask", and perhaps some unknown mysterious means, tortured this only surviving insect to death. Bronze heavy armor and gold masks are inscribed with dense spells. In fact, the spells of the scabies are not unusual, and the Taoist ghost hunting and soul suppression also has similar things.

After that, these women or slaves are planted in the womb to "seduce", and when they give birth, the female slave first breaks off her limbs, but holds the "scab egg" that has not completely separated from the mother's body, and immediately pours it alive on the female slave with a kind of hot pine resin similar to burned, or boiling gum, and together with the "scab egg" behind her, to make a transparent "amber". After cooling, the case surface is engraved with a charm, which is equivalent to sealing the fear, sorrow, hatred, and curse of the slave girl's death in "amber".

As to why the slave girl's limbs had to be broken and she had to adopt such a strange posture, we have limited knowledge of the art of scabness, so it is difficult to speculate on it out of thin air.

However, the "scab eggs" that had just been born by the slave girls had a strong vitality and would not be scalded to death by the boiling gum, and after the cocoons were punched with fine holes, they were all sunk into the deep pools of this cave. The "scab eggs" pass through those honeycomb-like pores, attracting mayflies in the water to eat, and they survive in the endless resentment.

These large fleshy pupae ——— are not so much insects as plants with neural reflexes, which would be more appropriate——— they have no consciousness at all, and only act on neural reflexes. All eating, reproduction, and so on are done in the cocooned egg. In order to keep the resentment of the deceased from abating, their excrement, which is a special substance, like fish eggs and flesh fungi, are attached to the shell of the dead drift and gradually grow into transparent insects, and the poison in the body of the female slave is also preserved in these insect-shaped objects.

These mushrooms may be bioelectric and can emit cyan light in the water, making it appear as if the female corpse was wrapped in a halo.

When we are in the water, we will have an inexplicable sadness when we see those dead floats, which may be the effect of some kind of bioelectricity, not the rupture of the flesh, otherwise, we would have been poisoned to death.

Looking back now, it was really a bit of a fluke, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, it seems that it is also appropriate to deserve this king's tomb to be broken.

The bright red mist emitted by the old insects, which were almost the same age as the gourd cave, attracted these flesh fungi to come closer to it, and it fed on the female corpses, and the meat fungi were digested by the old bugs. The poison formed by the resentment of the deceased will pass through its body and transform into a perennial white miasma in the valley, and those who are close will die.

As for the female corpse wrapped in a layer of hard shell, it couldn't bear it, and it couldn't excrete it, so it had to vomit back into the pool as it was. The "scab eggs" in the corpse of the female slave will continue to suck the mayfly creatures as they are, expel the meat fungus, surface the water, and be eaten and vomited by the old insects, vomited and eaten, and constantly reincarnated.

The three of us have speculated on what we know about the art. Since entering the Shalong Mountain, along the way continue to see things related to the sorcerosis, people from the bottom of their hearts to the king's tomb not far in front of a sense of fear, the sharp spirit of the ten pavilions, here has been folded seven pavilions.

If you haven't entered the ancient tomb, you will be a little scared, then this trip will definitely not go well. I was worried that the fat man and Shirley Yang had no bottom in their hearts, so I had to cheer them up and said: "That King Xian killed Yingchuan, he is heinous and unforgivable, and he was good at thaumaturgy during his lifetime, and his evil ways are not something ordinary people can imagine, and it is really difficult to deal with." But comrades, what we are best at fighting is this kind of unprepared battle, and if it is not, how can we show our ability to touch the golden captain. I think this trick of offering the king is nothing more than that, they are all fucking paper tigers, like the monster queen of the exquisite country, no matter how powerful she is when she is alive, she is not at our mercy after death. ”

The fat man pursed his lips, and said with a heavy face: "I don't know anything, the responsibilities of comrades are heavy, and women's resentments are deep, although it is said that in ancient times, Hua Mulan went to the army for her father, and now there is a women's army to shoot for the people, but as a man, the fire of hatred in Lao Tzu's chest is also burning." There is thunder and lightning in my ears, and I have made up my mind, when the red signal flare rises, we will capture the last commanding height, and roll up the Ming weapon of the king Lao'er, regardless of size, and sell it when I go back to Beijing, and smash it again, or do it, I'm sorry for so many women who died with grievances. ”

Shirley Yang listened to the fat man's more and more boundless, so he interrupted him and said to us: "The hard shell on the outside of the female corpse seems to be amber, and the gastric juice is difficult to corrode, and it is natural that it cannot be digested......"

With that, all three of us shifted our gazes almost simultaneously, all at the same time at the last thing that came out of the giant worm's mouth. Could it be that because it has a large boxy copper box stuck in its stomach, it can't eat anything that is slightly larger, and can only spit out the shell after digesting the flesh fungus on the surface of the shell?

I beckoned to the fat man and Shirley Yang: "The big and small things here have been explored and understood, now it's time for us to see what secrets are in this box, take the useful ones and destroy the useless ones." ”

The fat man immediately came to his head and told me: "Old Hu, I just saw that this box is full of big copper plates, and the one is sturdy, and I can't open it alone, let's try it together, and if it doesn't work, I'll put explosives on it." ”

On the square copper box, there was still a thick filth of Huo's undead insects, so we had to wash it with water first to reveal its original appearance.

After removing all the dirt on the copper box, I found that I couldn't tell that this was a box, a large copper block, a copper coffin, or something else, an artifact that I had never seen before.

This square object, each side is exactly the same, there is no upper and lower front and back, there are forty-eight large nail caps on each side, and there are no other features.

I wondered, "Don't be a big solid brass again?" "I took out the small geological hammer and tapped it lightly a few times, but the sound it made was muffled, not brittle at all, not like copper, and I couldn't tell whether it was hollow or solid.

The three of us pushed the square copper block so that we could see the bottom of it, it was not as heavy as we thought, indicating that it must be hollow inside, but how to open it? It may not be possible to blow it up with explosives.

I took a deep breath and looked closer, and on the bottom side, there were two small holes, which were clogged with the filth of giant insects, so it was not easy to spot. The fat man saw that he had made a discovery, and hurriedly asked if it was a keyhole.

I shook my head and said, "These two holes are strangely shaped, there are no rules to speak of, how can they be key openings?" Besides, if it's a keyhole, where is the key? Do you still have to rummage through the worm's belly? ”

Shirley Yang compared the hole in the large copper block with his hand, and suddenly had an idea: "Try it with the dragon head and tiger head short staff found in the high priest's jade coffin, the size and shape between them seem to be very close." ”

When I mentioned it through her, I immediately found that the shape of these two holes was a dragon head and a tiger head. I could not suppress the excitement in my heart and said loudly to the fat man: "Great, my dear Comrade Konstantin Petrovich, today is the holiday of the Bolsheviks, go and invite the party delegates." As soon as he arrives, Nikolai's door will be opened for us proletariat! ”
