Deep down, I desperately warned myself: I must take the "dust beads" out unless I have to. Then he and the fat man took turns to run away with Shirley Yang on his back, the fat man's body suddenly lost its center of gravity, fell to the ground, as if stepping on something and tripped over it, relying on the rough skin and thick flesh is no big problem, he scolded and was about to get up, I found dozens of "lepers" crawling down from the dark rock top, they obviously sensed our existence, and had no intention of competing with their kind to bite the giant worm, but quietly surrounded us.

All the bullets had been exhausted, and the "Chicago typewriters" had all been thrown on the road, leaving only a set of Shirley Young's pickaxes and sapper shovels, one of which I and the fat man each held, and a small-caliber six-four pistol in my hand, how could these things resist so many scabies, I had heard that when people die in water, they will not die in fire, and it seems that we are destined to be bitten to death by insects.

At this time, the fat man found that the thing that tripped over people just now was the bronze box that we called "Pandora's Box", and there were some things scattered on the ground, all of which were the artifacts of the local Yi people that had been turned out of it before, the bones of the mandrill, the bottle containing the jade fetus, and the exquisite and gorgeous "Toad Palace".

I remembered that this ghost toad was a bane, so I first got rid of it, and then used explosives to lure away those scabies, so I immediately raised my foot and kicked open the lid of the "Toad Palace", raised the six-four style and hit, firing five bullets in a row, and smashed the blue and faint three-legged monster toad inside. As soon as this ancient meteorite, which affected the concentration of the air, shattered, the air in the entire "gourd cave" seemed to tremble.

The people panicked inexplicably, they seemed to know the importance of the "Toad Palace", and felt that the catastrophe was coming, they were extremely sensitive to changes in the air, although they were not going to die on the spot for the time being, but they all became uneasy, and suddenly they were confused, not caring about the three of us, each of them jumped around, and some jumped into the "corpse hole" in a daze.

The fat man said to me, "This is really crooked, let's get out of the way as soon as possible." As he spoke, he picked up the jade bottle on the ground and threw it into the broken backpack. When I saw that there was a gap, I carried Shirley Yang with the fat man, grabbed my backpack, and fled.

The ground is full of corpses of women who are the body of the hemale egg, layer upon layer, incalculable, a distorted face, and a strange number, making people feel disgusting, we step on the layers of female corpses, climb to the gap in the middle of the "gourd hole", and fish into it.

On the other side of the "gourd cave" is a fossil forest swallowed by groundwater, where the water level remains the same and has not changed. We ran here, all the way non-stop, and also carried a big living person, thanks to eating most of the wood essence in the valley, the formed 10,000-year-old wood root, after all, is not a vulgar thing, after eating it feels like it has endless strength and energy, but now it is beginning to be unbearable.

The fat man and I were out of breath, Shirley Yang's consciousness was completely awake, and his strength had recovered a little, I hurried up to replace the place where Shirley Yang was poisoned by the corpse on his leg with some new glutinous rice and wood lotus dress, and the replaced glutinous rice has become as dry and black as black carbon, it seems that it can really pull out the corpse poison, mixed with wood lotus root seems to have a miraculous effect.

Taking the opportunity of changing the dressing, I took a breath for a while, and was about to leave for the water, when in the hole behind me, a dragon-like multi-legged meat worm suddenly burst out, this worm was a few circles thicker than the big water tank, nearly ten meters long, and the fat man and I immediately woke up, this is the old insect wearing dragon scales and copper armor, it was gnawed in half by the carcass, and was sucked by the aconitum meat coffin, swallowing up the copper armor of the whole body, revealing the naked insect body inside, it jumped here, and seemed to be in a hurry to escape.

I saw that there were a few white flowers on its body biting and devouring, so I hurriedly said to the fat man: "Commander Wang, let's just take a ride, and if you run down the, you have to vomit blood from exhaustion!" ”

The fat man said yes, and he had already pulled out the pickaxe, and a pickaxe was chiseled into the body of the insect, and I asked Shirley Yang to hug me tightly, and locked all the fast hangers on our load-bearing belts, and followed the fat man, and at the moment when the giant insect passed in front of me, he stabbed down with a sapper shovel and a paratrooper knife, and a huge forward momentum pulled us up.

"Huo's undead insects" roared into the water, splashing countless splashes, startling all kinds of giant insects in the fossil forest to flee, I only heard the sound of the wind whirring in my ears, I couldn't see exactly where I was, Shirley Yang hugged me tightly behind my back, and didn't dare to relax at all. I secretly prayed in my heart that I would touch the blessings of the Golden Ancestors and never let us bump into the fossil tree. As soon as I thought of this, I felt a chill all over my body, and my body sank into the water with the giant worm.

I was shocked, the portable oxygen cylinder had long since lost it, and if it went on like this, we had to swim to the surface, and I felt Shirley Yang pinch my shoulder with her hand, knowing that she was weak after being poisoned, and it was inconvenient to stay under the water for a long time, so I was ready to let go, but the giant insect bent its body and swam to the surface, and I immediately realized that it needed oxygen more than us.

I don't know how long it took for this thrilling express train to finally begin to slow down and finally stop. Since the Toad Palace was destroyed by me, I don't know how long it took, but this thrilling express death train finally began to slow down gradually, and finally stopped. Since the Toad Palace was destroyed by me, this half of the old worm has lost the foundation on which it depends, and it can no longer move in the burial pit on both sides covered with elephant bones. The beating we had as we entered the valley caused it to spit out the red mist from its body, and it was not until we withdrew that it recovered. At this time, it was exhausted, and the reticular nerve was gradually stiffening and necrosis, and although it was not completely dead, it could not last long. When the corpse cave in the back catches up, it will be completely devoured.

I hugged Shirley Yang from Huo's undead worm's back, and I was relieved to see that the corpse qi on her face had receded a little. At this time, we were already exhausted, and it had been less than three days since we entered Shalong Mountain, but it felt like it was more than three years.

I reckon that although the aconitum coffin behind it is still in hot pursuit, it should have been thrown off by us for some distance, and the corpse hole attached to it will gradually expand, and its speed will also decrease; The giant worm in the burial ditch can also slow it down even more. So he climbed back to the entrance of the secret passage in front of the mountain temple with the fat man, rested for five minutes, and then had to continue running.

The fat man rubbed the bruises and purple scars on his body, and asked me, "Old Hu, when do we have to run to finish?" I now feel like I have lead in both of my legs, and there is no place in my body that doesn't hurt. If I run again, I'm afraid I'm going to have to give my life here. ”

I gasped and said to him, "That fucking cavern is probably a kind of rotting gas attached to the flesh, forming a turbid and indistinguishable evil pot, and it will rot away with everything it touches." I think that only by leading it to Taniguchi will there be a chance to solve it. ”

The entrance of this worm valley is the place where the terrain is undulating and symmetrical, and it is called the place of "Qinglong Dunbi" in feng shui, the left is the ox run, the right has an elephant dance, and the middle shape is like a hanging bell star gate, which is a "skewer city position" that divides the turbidity, distinguishes yin and yang, and smears the fierce sand. Once the corpse cave is moved there, the chaotic energy in it will be dismantled, but it is completely uncertain whether this theory will work, so I have to take a risk; Anyway, there is no better way to do anything else.

I briefly told the fat man my plan, picked up the kettle and drank the rest of the water to a trickle, and then tossed the kettle aside, and then I had to pack as lightly as possible. There is still a little explosives left, let the fat man blow up the entrance in front of the mountain temple, and try to buy a little more time. I went to the mountain temple to get some food, batteries, flashlights and other emergency supplies that we had left there beforehand.

After a few minutes of rest, I set off in a hurry. The mountain temple is not far from the valley mouth, but the forest is dense and difficult to walk, the slopes on both sides are steep, the terrain is difficult, it can be said that "the line is divided into the sky to make a trench, and the two mountains and gorges are the doors". The large number of dense plants in the valley, coupled with the intricate waterways at the bottom of the valley, makes the stream rocky; As soon as we entered the valley, our speed slowed down.

Now the only advantage is the mastery of the terrain, when we enter the tomb of King Xian from the outside in, everything inside is unknown, so we must take every step of the way; At this time, I went back the way I came, and after finding out the details, I didn't have so many worries.

This layer of plants in the Worm Valley can be described as a "green hell", and the most troublesome thing is the countless poisonous insects that breed in it. The fat man led the way, and I walked behind with a limping Shirley Young. The fat man suddenly stopped, picked up the sapper shovel and cut off the head of a flower snake coiled on the tree, and the snake body shook twice and fell off the branch. The fat man stretched out his hand to catch it, turned back to me and said, "Go out in a moment and see Commander Ben show you a hand!" Making a shovel to turn over the roasted snake meat section is still a craft I learned when I was in Inner Mongolia. ”

I urged the fat man, "When is it now, and I'm still thinking about eating snake meat!" You go forward, and when you get out of the valley, you can eat whatever you want! ”

We were about to move forward when we saw a large flock of frightened birds passing overhead, and the sound of a large number of trees falling in the distance behind us. I hurriedly asked the fat man to hold Shirley Yang first, and I climbed an old tree nearby to look forward, not far from the valley mouth, but the aconitum meat coffin behind had also caught up.

I shouted to the fat man, "Hurry up!" You'll be caught up in minutes! Then he jumped off the tree, and the fat man lifted Shirley Yang horizontally, and ran to his heart's content. Turning around the two dense red oaks, the two boulders with eyes painted on Taniguchi came into view. The trees behind him rattled violently, and listening to the sound, the distance between the corpse cave and us was no more than twenty meters.

It occurred to me that if I went straight out of the valley, I wouldn't be able to resist it if I made a mistake. So he stopped, and let the fat man carry Shirley Yang on his back and fold it towards the hillside of the valley. The slope at the mouth of the valley was no longer as steep as it was in the depths, but we were exhausted, and our heads ached as if there were countless insects gnawing at them, and our ears buzzed incessantly. Barely supporting the halfway up, I took out the head of the king from my carrying bag. The fuzzy and distorted facial features of the human head also make people feel so uncomfortable during the day, and the human head seems to have undergone some changes. I didn't have time to look at it anymore, but I grabbed the head of the king with the claws of the flying tiger, and prepared to use centrifugal force to throw it out of the valley, whether it could get rid of the endless pursuit of the corpse cave, and whether it could bring this important head back.

Looking down on the hillside where I am located, there are several miles in ancient times, all of which are a dark and misty scenery, this corpse cave continues to expand all the way, almost filling the valley behind, and I don't know if this narrow valley can disintegrate so many chaotic evil qi, but at this time, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, only to act according to the pre-plan, success or not, it depends on whether God opens his eyes.

Grasping the flying tiger like a meteor hammer, he circled the ground and turned up, estimated that his strength had reached the limit, and as soon as he let go, the head of the king was thrown to the outside of the valley by a huge centrifugal force.

I was going to keep an eye on the direction of the man's head, but I used too much force just now, and I didn't step on the stones, but I rolled down the hillside, and not far below, there was a clump of rain bananas, which happened to hang in it, and I only heard a thunderous sound in my ears resounding through the valley, and it was dark in front of me, and I didn't know anything.

I don't know how long it will be in a coma, but I don't want to open my eyes, hoping that I won't wake up for a long time, but my stomach is getting more and more Russian, and I still wake up. As soon as I woke up, I felt that the sun was dazzling, and it was still daytime, and when I looked around, I was lying on the hillside, covered with a few plantain leaves, with a backpack under my head, and Shirley Young was reading her Bible beside her, her legs were still wrapped in bandages, and the gloomy corpse aura that had shrouded her face before was gone.

I wasn't too clear yet, and I asked Shirley Young in a daze how long had I been in a coma? Did you suffer any serious injuries?

Shirley Yang smiled: "I'm in a coma and still snoring? You're just overworked, and you bump into a tree, and you take the opportunity to sleep for a day and a night. ”

Listening to Shirley Yang, it turned out that I fell asleep after crashing into the rain banana bushes, and the "aconitum meat coffin" at the bottom of the valley also rushed to the valley mouth, and was blocked by the form of "green dragon pen and screen walking horse", and the chaotic fierce sand attached to it suddenly disappeared, leaving countless sewage, and finally there was only a carcass of meat and zhi the size of a house at the mouth of the valley, which looked like a white conch from above.

All the affairs that had been corroded by the corpse cave had become mud, and the stench of rancid smell was blown away by the mountain wind, and the fat man dragged me and Shirley Yang to the top of the slope. Then fell to the ground and fell asleep, once the tense nerves relaxed, it was no longer possible to support, fortunately, at that time, most of the corpse poison on Shirley Yang's body had retreated, and he changed himself for the last time glutinous rice and Mu Gui, and now it seems that this Mu Gui essence that has grown into a shape does have a miraculous effect, and at most one day, Shirley Yang will be able to recover as usual.

The fat man woke up hungry in the morning, so he went to the valley to find the head, and then went to the mountain temple to bring our things, and it is estimated that he should come back in a while.

I saw that the big thing had been decided, so I waited for the fat man to come back to cook, and then set up a wooden raft and went back along the waterway, even if this operation was successful, but I just don't know if this person is hiding the "phoenix gall" we are searching for.

Shirley Yang said: "There is now a 99 percent chance that this jade human head and mouth contain phoenix gall. However, we can't take out the identification in Yunnan, and we can only do these things after we go back. ”

At this time, the fat man returned from the valley with our luggage on his back, and caught a few flower snakes on the way, and saw that I had woken up, so he made a fire and roasted the snakes, and the three of them were very hungry, and after eating and drinking, they went down to the bottom of the valley and returned to the "Shalong Mountain" in search of the road.

Shirley Yang asked me if I wanted to burn the dry shell of the 10,000-year-old meat mushroom, and I said that there was no need for that, unless a large number of corpses were piled up in its body, it wouldn't be long before it was buried by the plants and soil here.

Along the "Snake Crawling River", it was easy to touch the entrance of the cave of "Shalong Mountain", I asked Shirley Yang to stay in front of the cave to watch things, I and the fat man went to find a few red oaks nearby, used the remaining ropes and old vines, set up a very small simple raft, and dragged it to the entrance of the cave.

Returning from the waterway in the "Shalong Mountain", although it is possible to encounter those "saber-toothed salmon" with teeth and blades, as long as the raft is not stained with blood, it is not a problem, the only trouble is to go back is to sail against the current, the water has been strong recently, and it really needs to exert some strength.

When we took the raft out of the "Shalong Mountain", I was already sore, stumbling in the ancient tomb, there were more than a dozen bruises on the body, due to the humid environment, all faintly painful, took off the mountaineering helmet, only to see that the helmet was full of scratches and dents, recalling the experience of a few days, it was really dangerous - dangerous to be a ghost in another country, almost two lives of people, but finally came out of the worm valley with something, and went to the same place, this is the most gratifying.

Back to Caiyun Inn, I really feel sorry for the proprietress who lost the "Jianwei" air rifle that people lent us for free, and when I came out, I patronized and walked, and I couldn't even remember where I lost it, so I had to tell people that when we caught butterflies behind the mountain, we met a python, and after a fight, all things were lost, and the butterflies were not caught.

The proprietress said that things are just dead, as long as people are safe, there are originally more pythons in Shalong Mountain, even if local hunters meet, it is difficult to ensure that they are comprehensive, but over the years, giant pythons have not been seen too much, and if you encounter no accidents, this is better than anything.

We rested in the Caiyun Inn for a few days, until Shirley Yang recovered, doubled the money to the store, and thanked the proprietress for a thousand kindnesses, then left, to Kunming on the train, in the sleeper car, I was a little impatient, so I and Shirley Yang Jianyì, research and study from the tomb of King Xian, what are the use, there seem to be a lot of mysteries in it.

I looked outside and saw that no one was peeking, so I closed the door and asked the fat man to take out the things one by one.

The fat man first took out the jade bottle, which was obtained from the gourd hole, there was a Hong clear water in the bottle, soaked in a small white jade fetus, but the water in this bottle, in the chaos I don't know how it was all dripping clean, the jade fetus lost the infiltration of this clear water, and it actually seemed to wither, and then poured it in with the usual water, but no matter how you look at it, the water is not as clear as before, maybe the jade fetus is a kind of specimen thing, with a real fetus soaked in it, it gradually became like this, But I don't know what the liquid inside is famous for, and why it can play such a role.

This fertility worship vessel of Shalong Mountain has nothing to do with phoenix gall, so we didn't think much about it, let the fat man accept it, and continue to check the next one, the fat man took out dozens of black jade rings, which I pulled out from the hands of the king, and it is definitely an important weapon above all the funeral goods. As soon as the ring was taken out, the three of us immediately blocked our noses, "stinky", these jade rings, invaded by the smell of corpses, stinky and unapproachable, have borrowed some heavy brains in the inn, smoked for several days, and still did not go to the end, so we had to throw them into a transparent sealed bag, and look through the plastic bag.

The three of them looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't see anything, these jade rings are neither finely carved nor an important material of great value, but they must be old, and they are often used, and they are polished to a very smooth finish.

On a whim, I said to the fat man and Shirley Yang: "The pursuit of the king is very simple, become an immortal and seek immortality, we saw a Dan furnace in the meat coffin, there are residues of five-colored medicinal stones in the furnace, it seems that there are cinnabar, lead particles, sulfur and the like, these synthesized five stone powder in ancient times, and those who cultivate immortals in addition to alchemy, there is also an activity that is also very important, that is, to communicate with the immortals." ”

The fat man thought he was clever and said, "Oh, these jade rings were originally thrown into the sky, and the meaning is similar to asking for a lot." ”

I said: "No, I estimate that in addition to the large-scale ceremony of viewing the lake view, there must be a daily activity, the ancients liked to help the people the most, although the true immortals may not be recited to come, but it is also a kind of spiritual sustenance, I think these jade rings should be with a plate, there are a lot of messy words on the plate, this jade ring is used to help the set of words, is a kind of divination utensils." ”

The fat man asked, "How many hands does a person have to use so many jade rings?" ”

I was speechless, so I had to distinguish: "Maybe it's to see the changes of the stars and moon in the sky, and then choose which one to use to communicate with the immortals." ”

Shirley Yang suddenly said: "It is indeed used to set words, but this is a set of things similar to an encrypted password decoder, the size of the font on the dragon bone heavenly book can just be similar to this jade ring, only with these dozen jade rings, arranged in a certain order, can the true information on the dragon bone be interpreted." ”

I said to Shirley Yang: "It's really a dream man, after I go back, as long as I take Professor Sun's translation of Fengming Qishan for us, we can know the secret recorded in the Book of Heaven, I will say, no one knows about Fengming Qishan, and it can be so hidden, it turns out that there is another layer of secret text in this secret text, and this secret work can be regarded as a home." ”

But how is this jade ring arranged? Thinking of this, the three of them were stunned, looking at each other, these black jade rings are independent of each other, not connected to each other, I suddenly remembered that in the hand of the king holding the ring, there seems to be some black residue, maybe the part connected to the jade ring, has decayed, then no one will ever know how to use it.

Shirley Yang picked up the sealed bag and counted it carefully: "There is always a ...... number of jade rings Sixteen. ”
