Exquisite Ancient City Chapter 28 Corpse Fragrance Konjac

I smelled a fragrance from afar, is this magic flower poisonous? Generally, poisonous plants and animals are brightly colored, looking at this corpse incense konjac red leaves and green flowers, the color is as bright as dripping water, maybe it is really poisonous. With that in mind, I quickly asked everyone to put on their gas masks.

The fat man said, "I don't think this flower is poisonous, poisonous things are small, so big, like a big bucket, I think it's a man-eating flower." ”

Shirley Yang said: "It won't be a man-eating flower, there is not even an ant around here, if this flower lives by devouring animals, it would have died a long time ago, then the coffin made of the Kunlun Divine Tree must have provided it with enough nutrients." ”

The fat man snorted and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of ghost bird he is, if I give it a few shots and destroy it, then there will be no danger." Then let's go over and see what the zongzi of the first beauty in the Western Regions looks like. ”

Professor Chen said: "By no means, we would rather not go over than destroy this cherished corpse-scented konjac. ”

I turned the searchlight to shine around the coffin so that the professor and others could see it more clearly, but under the light, I found that there were many words engraved on the edges of the stone beams, and there were hundreds of ghost cave inscriptions. This discovery is not trivial, the entire ancient city, including the temple and the underground palace, there are few words, mostly to the murals to remember, only the temple in the jade eye on some ghost cave inscriptions, but unfortunately I didn't have time to look at it carefully, let me break it, I didn't expect that there are so many ghost cave inscriptions on this stone beam.

Text is one of the most basic symbols of human transmission of information, the information brought by ancient murals to people is an intuitive feeling, and the information contained in the text is more accurate.

Professor Chen was busy asking the students to record the ghost cave inscriptions on the stone beams part by part, but fortunately, the characters were so large that they could be recorded with a searchlight without getting close, and Shirley Yang was also taking pictures with his camera.

It was just me and the fat man who had nothing to do, and Professor Chen wouldn't let us smoke here, so we both had to sit on the floor and wait until they were done.

It seems that this archaeological work has ended here, the harvest can not be said to be small, just the well-preserved murals in the brick road, it is enough for the world's archaeological community to be shocked for two years, not to mention this bottomless hole, plus the coffin of Kunlun Shenmu, the ancient strange flower corpse incense konjac, which is enough for these intellectuals to study for a long time. We don't have any means of protection now, it's impossible to open the coffin to see the first beauty in the Western Regions, a few days ago I saw the coffin of Prince Gumo in the holy well, Professor Chen clearly forbade us to open the coffin, these actions will probably have to be reported to the leadership for approval, and then they can be done, I don't have a chance to see it.

It's a pity that Hao Aiguo died in the valley, otherwise he didn't know how excited he would be when he saw this, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and he felt a little blamed in his heart, if I could have acted faster at that time...... Forget it, what are the so many ifs in this world...... The past is vivid, and the more I think about it, the more difficult it is to calm down.

The fat man saw me in a daze and patted me on the shoulder: "Old Hu, what do you think those two boys are doing?" ”

I came back to my senses from the chaotic thoughts, and when I looked around, I saw that Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng had already walked on the stone beam, didn't the professor say that he would not let the stone beam move the queen's coffin? I hurriedly asked what was going on.

Professor Chen said: "It's okay, they didn't go to see the coffin, there was a lot of dust accumulated in the middle of the stone beam, and the font was obscured, they went to sweep away the ashes and came back, they all wore gas masks, and they were fine." ”

I wanted to call the two young students back and let me go for them, but Professor Chen said, "No need, the ghost cave inscription on this stone beam is very meaningful, you are not professional in doing this, in case it is broken, it will be troublesome." Chu Jian will use a brush to clean up the dust and debris little by little, and they can do it in a minute or two. ”

I still don't feel at ease and fidgeting. My instincts have always been accurate, and something is going to happen. Why didn't the British explorers who had been here here before take such a valuable coffin with them? Except for one deranged survivor, where have the rest gone? The cave in the heart of the mountain seems to be quiet and dangerous, but what happens when you approach the queen's coffin? I can't wait any longer, I have to call Chu Jian and the two of them back quickly.

I was about to call out to the two of them, but it was too late, I saw two students walking in the middle of the stone beam, one behind the other Sa Dipeng suddenly bent down, picked up a mountain stone, caught up with two steps and viciously smashed it on the head of Chu Jian in front of him, Chu Jian didn't snort, his body was crooked, and he fell into the bottomless deep hole under the stone beam.

This qiΔ“ happened very suddenly, no one had time to stop it, and before we could react to what was happening, we saw Sa Dipeng turn his head and tear off the gas mask on his head, and smiled at everyone, this smile was indescribably evil and weird, and then turned around, walked quickly to the coffin at the end of the stone beam, and smashed his temple with the mountain stone in his hand, the blood on his head flowed down like a tide that broke the embankment, he shook it twice, and fell on the coffin of the Absolute Queen, life and death are unknown.

The rest of the people were stunned by this bloody and strange scene, what happened to Sadipeng? How did he, who has always been sven and wooden, suddenly become a murderer, killed his best classmates, and then committed suicide next to the coffin?

I shouted, "Oh no, this little glasses must have been possessed by an evil spirit, the fat man is about to copy the black donkey's hooves, he doesn't seem to be dead yet, and it is still too late to save people." ”

Professor Chen saw his two students in an instant, one dead and one wounded, and fell into the abyss, even the bones were gone, and the injured head was bleeding and fell to the end of the stone beam, motionless, and I don't know if they are still alive. Ye Yixin hurriedly hugged the professor, she was also frightened, and she couldn't do anything except cry.

I thought to myself that it was important to save people, even if there were really ghosts on the stone beam, I would have to fight hard, and while letting the fat man and Shirley Yang rescue the professor, I grabbed my weapon and put the gas mask on my head, thinking that no matter how powerful the evil ghost was, I had to be afraid

I am afraid of the evil black donkey's hooves and glutinous rice, and if the corpse-scented konjac is poisonous, I put on a gas mask and am not afraid of it.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I stepped up to the stone beam, which was three meters wide and hung above the bottomless hole.

I was just halfway out when I heard footsteps behind me, and I looked back, but it was the fat man and Shirley Yang who followed, and I asked them, "You don't take care of the professor, what are you doing with me?" ”

The fat man said: "I don't know what the hell is on this stone beam, I don't worry about you coming alone, and besides, you have a hard time carrying Sadipeng alone, so let's carry him back quickly, so as not to have another accident." ”

I thought to myself that time was urgent, and if I said two more words, Sadipeng would lose too much blood and be hopeless, so I beckoned them to follow, and the three of them went straight to the coffin at the end of the stone beam.

This time I got closer, only to feel that the strange flower corpse incense konjac is abnormal, the color of the flower and the leaves is so bright, it is thrilling to see, I remembered that Professor Chen said that this magic flower hides the soul of the evil ghost, the matter has come to this point, how can he care about what is rare in the world, so he scolded: "Fuck it, maybe it's this demon flower trickster!" Waving the sapper shovel in his hand, he slashed at the corpse incense konjac, chopping the giant flower into a mess and bleeding out a lot of black liquid, before stopping.

Shirley Yang saw that I was fast, and I had already chopped the magic flower, and I didn't have time to stop it, so he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, cut it, it's important to save people quickly." ”

I said, "Exactly, stop the bleeding for Sadipeng." As he spoke, he went to take out the first-aid bandage, preparing to wrap him indiscriminately twice, and then quickly carry him back for treatment.

The fat man reached out and touched Sadipeng's carotid artery and sighed: "Don't be busy, it's over, there is no pulse, we are still a step late." ”

I slapped my palm on the coffin angrily: "Damn, how can I explain to their parents this time, I can't hurt my family to death." ”

Unexpectedly, I slapped the coffin, and the corpse of Sa Dipeng who fell to the ground suddenly sat up like an electric shock, his eyes were red, and he pointed to the coffin of the Exquisite Queen and said, "She...... She lives ...... ......"

Shirley Yang and the fat man and I were all startled, just now it was clear that Sa Dipeng had no pulse, why did he suddenly sit up?

I subconsciously grabbed a black donkey's hoof in my pocket and wanted to hit him, but I saw Sa Dipeng finish speaking, kick his legs, and fall straight to the ground, this time as if he was really dead.

I couldn't help but look up, and the coffin lid of the Kunlun Divine Wood had opened a crack at some point. My heart was in my throat, and the fat man and Shirley Yang were also at a loss, and the three of them were pinched in a cold sweat in their palms.

Now that the coffin of the Absolute Queen has been opened, it is clear that it is coming for us, and the fat man took his gun and aimed at the Queen's coffin, and I held the sapper shovel and the black donkey's hooves tightly to see what came out of it.

At this moment, my mind turned seven or eight times, is the queen a ghost or a zongzi? How to deal with ghosts, how to deal with zongzi, the stone beams are narrow, and they can't be opened, and how to go back, I have thought about these situations.

But except for the lid removed a crack, the coffin did not move at all, so it was not a way to go on like this, and now we had two choices, one was to return from the stone beam first, regardless of the movement of the queen's coffin.

The second is to advance as a retreat, go up directly to open the coffin, no matter what kind of monster is inside, just greet her with a sapper shovel, black donkey hooves, and assault rifles.

I immediately made a judgment in my mind, the first path seemed safe, but it was not feasible, there must be some kind of evil force lurking on this stone beam, and the bizarre deaths of Sa Dipeng and Chu Jian were the best proof of this. And this demonic and mysterious power is waiting for an opportunity to find a suitable opportunity to take out those of us who disturb the Queen's rest.

If we walk on this narrow stone beam and are suddenly attacked in the process of returning immediately, there is nowhere to avoid it, and then we can only bite the bullet, hoping that the stone beam on this bottomless pit will not become our dead end.

I looked at Fat Man and Shirley Yang, the three of them were of the same mind, and nodded to each other, both understanding the current situation. Although nothing has happened for the time being, a situation has been formed in which the enemy is fighting against the water, and only by opening the coffin and finding out the enemy first can we find a way to deal with it.

The fat man handed Shirley Young the assault rifle and told her to be ready to shoot at any moment, then spit twice into his palm and motioned for me to push the lid open with him.

Because the coffin is wrapped with several iron chains the thickness of human arms, the coffin lid cannot be removed horizontally, but can only be pushed along the front end, and the gap exposed by the coffin itself is also at the front end.

I suppressed the uneasy feeling in my heart, counted one, two, three with the fat man, and pushed the coffin board hard, the coffin made of the trunk of the Kunlun Divine Tree, there were no traces of too many artificial processing, and the bark was still like new, if it wasn't for its own removal of a thin slit, it was really not easy to see where the coffin lid was.

The lid of the coffin was not heavy, and with seven points of force, it was pushed away by both of us, and we both wore gas masks, so we couldn't smell what was in the coffin. I saw a female corpse in jade clothes, lying flat in the coffin, but other than that, the coffin was empty, and there were no funeral goods.

The female corpse should be the Absolute Queen, she wears a black mask on her face, she can't see her face, and her body is not exposed, so she can't see how Cheng dΓΉ keeps the bones.

This is the Absolute Queen who is rumored to be a monster and a brutal nature? I cursed in my heart: "Damn, if you die, you have to pretend to be a ghost and cover your face." ”

The fat man asked me, "Old Hu, did you say that Chu Jian's death was the ghost of the queen in the coffin?" Fuck, take her mask off and see if she's the number one beauty in the Western Regions or a monster. ”

I said, "Okay, I'm just going to see if you come and unmask her, and I'm going to put the black donkey's hooves into her mouth, and she'll be a monster, and teach her to eat our black donkey's hooves first." With that, he shook the black donkey's hooves in his hand, and prepared to stuff them into the mouth of the female corpse.

The fat man rolled up his sleeves, reached out a hand, and ripped off the mask on the corpse of the Absolute Queen.

The face of the Absolute Queen was revealed, her black hair was like a cloud, her eyebrows were beautiful, her face was delicate, her eyes were closed, and her face was frighteningly white, except for this, she was like a living person.

Before that, I had imagined countless times what this queen really looked like, fat or thin, or blonde, or high-nosed and deep-eyed, but if I thought a million times, I would not have thought that the queen looked like this, because ......

I said "ah" at the same time as the fat man, and no one expected that this queen would look like Shirley Yang, and it was simply cast out of a mold.

I didn't know what to do, my head was a mess of porridge, and I turned my head to see how Shirley Yang was standing behind me, but when I turned my head, there was no trace of Shirley Yang who was standing behind us with a gun to cover us.

Could it be that the body in this coffin is not the Queen, but Shirley Young herself? I felt goosebumps on my body, bursts of despair stimulated the cortex of the brain, sadness, fear, nervousness, helplessness, doubts, a variety of complex emotions, rushed into my brain at the same time, and my mind went blank for a while. Our opponents are so elusive, we are like meat on a cutting board, boiled or stewed, fried or fried, all of which are completely toyed with and we don't even know what our opponents are.

Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly felt a yin wind blowing beside me, as if there was a gloomy object was approaching quickly, I said in my heart, "It's a good time", raised the sapper shovel back and slashed back, I felt that I had hit a person, and when I looked at it, half of the fat man's head was chopped off by me, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and he saw that he was not alive.

I stayed on the spot, what exactly did I do? Why are you so reckless, am I really scared by that monster queen? I hacked my best brother to death, and my heart was like ashes at this moment. This time it's a good thing, nine people in the archaeological team, in less than a day's work, five died one after another, and even the fat man who was born and died with me, decades of friendship, was cut off by me with a shovel.

I'm the only one left, what's the point of living, maybe my life should have been given away as early as when I was on the front line in Kunlun Mountain and Yunnan, lest I kill my best companion by mistake, even if I die, what face will I have to see the fat man under the nine springs.

I was so discouraged that my head hurt like it was about to crack, and I felt like I was falling into an ice cave from head to toe, and I had to die. He pulled out the dagger from his waist, aimed it at his heart, and stabbed it down with a gritted tooth.

The moment the tip of the knife touched the flesh, I suddenly heard two gunshots, and a rifle bullet hit the blade of the dagger, knocking the dagger in my hand to the ground.

All of a sudden, it became foggy, and I couldn't see anything clearly, who fired the gun? I was in a trance, the more I pondered, the more wrong it became, all the logic was reversed, and I vaguely heard someone shouting: "Old Hu, come back quickly, run back." ”

The sound was like a lightning bolt in the night, and although I didn't understand what was going on, I instinctively felt like I had fallen into a trap.

Thinking of this, I bit the tip of my tongue with my teeth, and my whole body was shocked, and I found that I was in the middle of the stone beam, and I was not standing in front of the queen's coffin, the coffin at the end of the stone beam was intact, and the corpse incense konjac on the coffin was blooming, and the petals that were originally rolled together were opened, revealing the stamen in the middle, facing me like a radar.

And at the other end of the stone beam, there were two people standing, it was the fat man and Shirley Yang, they were so anxious to jump up how high, they were desperately shouting to me, aren't they dead?

The fat man carried the gun and shouted: "Old Hu, you are fucking nervous, come back quickly!" ”

I didn't have time to think about it, so I shook off my steps and ran back, ripping off the gas mask from my head and spitting out the blood from my mouth, and then my mind was restored.

I asked the fat man what happened to me just now, and the fat man said, "I cāo, you almost scared me to death, didn't you want to go over and rescue Sadipeng?" You just walked to the middle of the stone beam, suddenly turned around, I don't know what's wrong with you, like sleepwalking, smashing with the sapper shovel, and then tossing and turning for a long time, how we shouted you can't hear, and then you took the dagger to commit suicide, I wanted to stop you, and I didn't rush anymore, so I had to shoot two shots to knock down the dagger in your hand. Are you crazy kid, or are you possessed by a demon? ”

I looked back at the narrow stone beam, and then I figured out the cause and effect, and then I realized what was going on, the qiΔ“ I just experienced was an illusion created by the demon flower corpse incense konjac, damn, it wanted to lead me to suicide!

I think it is not only the fragrance that it emits and interferes with people's minds, but also its color, which will produce hallucinations as long as you look at it closely.

No wonder there is no defense mechanism near the coffin of the Absolute Queen, it turns out that this magic flower is the most powerful tomb keeper, anyone who tries to approach the queen's coffin will be robbed of the five senses by the corpse incense konjac, and he will be killed by the memory in his mind.

It seems that the stone beam hanging on the bottomless giant hole in front of us is the range controlled by the corpse incense konjac, and once you step on the stone beam, you will hallucinate.

Presumably, the explorers and tomb robbers who had been here before had all died unexplained like Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng, and I am afraid that they did not understand what was going on until they died.

Fortunately, Shirley Yang had a long heart and didn't let the fat man go over to pull me, otherwise I would have been dead on the stone beam for a long time now. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and scolded the old mother of the Absolute Queen viciously, picked up the gun and shot a few shots at the corpse incense konjac on the coffin in the distance, and the bullet hit the branches and leaves of the magic flower, as if it had entered a bad wood, and I didn't even make a big hole, let alone react, so I had no choice but to give up.

Sa Dipeng fell next to the coffin at the end of the stone beam, blood was flowing all over the ground, and it seemed that he was hopeless, but he couldn't just throw his body away, and he still had to find a way to snatch him back.

I discussed a few words with Shirley Yang and the fat man, but there was no good solution. Although Professor Chen was not worried about his life, he was unconscious, and Ye Yixin was crying breathlessly beside him.

The fat man said, "Old Hu, I have a clever plan to kill this magic flower." ”

I asked him, "That corpse incense konjac is so powerful, what can you do?" ”

The fat man said, "Although it is powerful, it is not difficult to deal with, it is only a distraction, and it lures those who approach it to death." You all wore gas masks in the past, and you still have the way of it, which shows that it is not just the smell of guΓ² that kills people, but when you look at it with your eyes, you will be confused by it, and you will not be able to distinguish between the real and the fake, so you will not know what to do. My clever plan is, how about we not look at it, blindfold it, lie on the ground and grope for it, and uproot the flower? ”

I said, "It's okay, you quickly crawl over blindfolded, and we will shout and cheer for you in the back to watch the enemy formation." ”

Shirley Yang said: "No, except that Professor Chen knows a little bit of the common sense of corpse incense konjac, we all don't know anything about it, how can you be sure that corpse incense konjac is hypnotized through the five senses?" This devil's flower is too evil, and if you make a mistake in judgment, you will probably die on the stone beam. ”

The fat man said: "If you say so, just leave Sadipeng's corpse alone, and let us anoint the soles of our feet and slip away immediately?" ”

I said, "Even if you leave, you can't cheap that corpse incense konjac, don't we have so many yellow explosives, I'll go and blow up the stone beam, and let the magic flower fall deep into the hole." ”

The three of us were arguing with each other, when we suddenly saw that Sa Dipeng's body seemed to move violently in the distance, and we quickly stopped arguing and watched the situation on the other side of the stone beam with all our attention.

The strong searchlight has always maintained a relatively low angle, so that when people walk back from the stone beam, they will not be dazzled by the light, so I raised the angle of the searchlight slightly and pointed the beam of light at Sadipeng in the distance.

Sadipeng's body rolled, as if he was being dragged by something, and was constantly being pulled towards the black hole under the stone beam, and when he was about to take a closer look, the strong searchlight flashed twice, and then went out, and I don't know if it was bad contact or no power, and the whole cave immediately fell into darkness.

It was time for the joints to be in a hurry, and I patted the searchlight hard, but it still didn't come on, and I hurriedly asked the fat man to bring the spare battery.

The fat man said: "There are no spare batteries, the two sets of spare batteries for the searchlights are in the camel team, and the equipment is too heavy when we enter the city, don't you let everyone travel lightly, and you don't bring any extra things." ”

Shirley Yang lit up a cold fire, and the surroundings lit up, the light in the darkness, even if it was only a little, would make people feel reassured, but they still couldn't see it in the distance, what was it that dragged Sadipeng away? Are there other creatures in this big hole?

In the darkness, I only heard the sound of rustling on the stone wall of the bottomless abyss, which was not loud, like some animal wriggling and crawling, and the number was immeasurable.

I thought of those chilling strange snakes, and hurriedly asked the fat man to quickly carry Professor Chen, no matter what came out of the hole, there is no doubt that thing is definitely unfriendly, let's go thirty-six strategies as the best policy.

The lighting time of the cold fireworks is limited, we all took out the wolf's eye flashlight, the fat man carried Professor Chen, Shirley Yang pulled Ye Yixin, whose legs were weak, and everyone found the right direction, and retreated back to the way they came.

At this time, the sound around was getting louder and louder, Shirley Yang raised the camera, pressed the shutter continuously, the flash clicked and flashed, and in an instant the surroundings were illuminated, with the lightning-like snow-white light, I saw countless black-scaled monster snakes crawling around, some large and some small, the smallest was only a dozen centimeters long, the largest was nearly a meter, and there was a black sarcoma on the head, some of which were obviously mature, and the big sarcoma had grown into a huge black eyeball.

The black eyes on the top of the snakes' heads, which were extremely sensitive to light, retreated when they were illuminated by the flash, but there were too many, thousands of them, and they kept pouring out of the holes in the ground, piling up and entangled, and the road when they came was already blocked to force them to flash a path.

Although the flash of the camera and the light of the flashlight can temporarily resist the snakes, it is a way to quench the thirst of the donkey, and once the camera runs out of energy, it will inevitably be bitten to death by the snake.

There are more and more black snakes, and the bucket of solid fuel we carried when we entered the city has been used up in the temple, and now there is no way but to retreat step by step.

There were black snakes crawling everywhere, and at this moment, the burning eyebrows were extremely dangerous, and the fat man suddenly pointed to the mountain a few meters away behind him and shouted: "There is a small cave here, go first to avoid it." ”

I looked back, it turned out to be not a hole, just a crack in the belly of the mountain, only more than one person high, I don't know the depth of the inside, but in a hurry, I had to retreat to the inside to support for a while, and then try another good plan.

At the moment, he dragged Professor Chen and Ye Yixin, who couldn't walk, and quickly retreated into the crevices of the mountain, which were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the inside was still very deep, and there were cracks under the feet, but the ground was only a few centimeters wide, and people would not worry about falling into the cracks in the ground when they stepped on it.

Shirley Yang's psychological quality is excellent, and he is not flustered in a desperate situation, and when he saw the shape in this mountain gap, there was a large horizontal crack a few meters behind him, and he had a plan in his heart, and said to me: "Can you blow up the entrance first to block the impact of the snakes." ”

At this time, several black snakes have crawled in, and are about to fly up and bite, Shirley Yang pressed the camera shutter, the black snakes were flashed by the light of the camera, and they all hurriedly turned back to dodge the light, the fat man shot like electricity, and the sapper shovel was smashed according to the snake's head, and then swept the dead snake out of the hole with a shovel sweep.

I thought of Hao Aiguo's appearance when he died, thinking that even if he was killed and buried alive, it would be better than being bitten to death by a poisonous snake, so I hurriedly took out a few packets of yellow explosives. I activated the explosives, shot the black snake that crawled into the hole with my gun as I retreated, took a few steps back, and squeezed into a turn with Shirley Young and the others.

I was just about to get them to open their mouths wide and plug their ears, so that they were deaf.

Before he could finish speaking, a violent explosion sounded, reverberating in the cave like thunder, and the rubble rushed in with the blast of the explosion, and although we hid in the corner and avoided the direct impact, we were still hit by the impact of the explosion, and we felt like we had been punched hard in the chest, our ears were ringing, and our minds were full of buzzing, and we couldn't hear anything.

I couldn't hear what the fat man said to me with his mouth open, and I shouted at him word by word: "The β€”β€”β€” of the β€”β€”β€” fried medicine is goodβ€”β€”β€” like β€”β€”β€” β€”β€”β€” β€”β€”β€” β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” a little more!" You β€”β€”β€” β€”β€”β€” β€”β€”β€” nothingβ€”β€”β€” right? I don't know if it made a sound, it was too close to the blasting point, and there was a very close sound in the mountain gap, my eardrums were flushed, and I couldn't even hear the words I shouted by pulling my neck.
