Chapter 62: Human corpses soak in wine
There is no danger in front for the time being, stay in this place for a second longer, those puppet dead soldiers may rush up at any time, Lu Fengxian treated Ji Shisan's wounds, and several people hurried on the road.
Now that someone in the team has been poisoned, Lin Daxiong's only thought at present is to get out of this place as soon as possible, and if an accident happens, he will be the leader to blame.
The steps on the ground are very clumsy, piled up with some gravel blocks, and the surface is very uneven, and people feel like they are walking on a cobblestone road.
On the way forward again, everyone was preoccupied, even the youngest Zheng Ling'er stopped talking at this time, Ji 13 was still having a high fever, his face was as pale as a blank piece of paper, and he was covered in cold sweat and kept pouring out, but his mouth was still not idle, and he kept muttering about the great achievements of the emperor.
"It's the exit ahead, everyone be careful." Lin Daxiong looked over, the field of vision in front of him became wider, there was a whirring wind in his ears, and he could see the blue sky outside when he looked up.
Glancing at Lu Fengxian, Nobita wiped the yellow pus from the miner's lamp with his sleeve, held his breath and walked out.
A very strong smell of rot penetrated into his nose, followed by a thick fog in front of his eyes, Lin Daxiong held up the miner's lamp in a panic and shone it, this layer of fog was so thick that even the light could not penetrate it, and the rest of the people were also on alert in an instant.
Lu Fengxian held the military dagger in one hand and Ling'er in the other, cold sweat oozed from her palms, and she said strangely: "In broad daylight, how can there be such a thick fog?" ”
"There's weirdness." Lin Daxiong muttered, carrying the miner's lamp and moving his steps carefully, the stench was still echoing in the air, and the visibility under his nose was only two or three meters, which made him feel uneasy, it was the first time he had encountered such a level of fog.
The further they went, the stronger the smell became, as if they were in a cellar full of rotting corpses, and with the fishy wind that blew from time to time, several people's stomachs churned.
Lin Daxiong and Lu Fengxian have smelled a lot of rotting corpses, but none of them can compare with this smell, it is not the kind that directly stimulates people's brains, but from time to time it wafts into the nasal cavity with a breeze, making people nauseous.
As soon as he came out of the steps, the outside environment became so cold, Lin Daxiong's spirit was highly concentrated, and at this time, his feet seemed to touch something, making a muffled sound, he was startled, and suddenly lifted the miner's lamp to shine.
At a closer look, it is actually a big jar!
There are enough two people to embrace such a big place, the mouth of the altar is sealed by a red cloth, and there is nothing in it, Lin Daxiong frowned, and several people behind him immediately surrounded him, and they all looked at this jar, from the appearance, it is similar to the jar of pickles in ordinary people.
"Have you ever seen anything like this?" Lin Daxiong turned his head and asked Ji Thirteen.
Ji 13 shook his head and said in a low voice: "There are very few people in our Candle Dragon Town who pickle pickles, and even if they are pickled, they don't need such a big jar. ”
After turning around the altar, Zheng Ling'er suddenly interjected: "There can't be people in it, right?" ”
Everyone gasped when they heard this, judging from its capacity, this jar is enough to hold the weight of the next person, and this jar is placed in this kind of place, which will inevitably make people think about it.
"You guys stand back a little bit, and I'll see what's inside." Lin Daxiong waved his hand, pulled out the dagger and inserted it into the red cloth at the entrance of the altar, and raised it upward, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
What caught my eye was a fleshless head, maggots the size of thumbs burrowed in the eye sockets and nose, and the soaked corpse water next to it was so full that it almost overflowed out of the altar, and the previous stench instantly dissipated to the extreme, and there was a strong smell of alcohol in it.
Lin Daxiong shook his head and exclaimed, "Damn, this is wine brewed with corpses!" ”
"Mom!" Zheng Ling'er almost cried in fright, hugged Lu Fengxian's body and covered her eyes.
Ji Shisan's pale face was a little more bloody, staring at the jar intently, and his voice was hoarse: "Lin Zhenren, is this the legendary corpse wine?" ”
"You know about corpse wine, too?" Lin Daxiong's face was solemn, and he used a dagger to hold the red cloth to seal the mouth of the altar, and sighed: "The emperors and generals of the past dynasties fought all their lives when they were young, and they were afraid of death when they were old, and they always thought about strange things to live forever, and in the end, they all went into the coffin?" ”
"This ......" Ji 13 looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but he couldn't find a reason to excuse his ancestors, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
In ancient times, there was a saying among the folk, saying that the corpse of a person was used to make wine, and drinking it could prolong life and rejuvenate the youth, Lin Daxiong didn't believe much about this statement, but when it came to "immortality", he couldn't help but think of a person - Old Man Chen.
Regardless of whether the substance of "cyanide cyanide" can really regenerate people's aging cells, even if it is, Old Man Chen has survived from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, then he is not just a small leader of Yanzimen, and the precipitation of the years may have allowed him to call the wind and rain.
Therefore, Lin Daxiong does not believe that there is any way to live forever, and the existence of the underworld alone proves that there can be no eternity in human life.
"Everyone, watch your step, don't break anything." Nobita reminded, then carried the miner's lamp around the altar and continued to explore the path ahead.
The thick fog was still all around, and after walking some distance into the depths, the stench had been reduced a lot, but after all, this place was a bleak place that had existed since ancient times, and everyone was careful with every step they took.
The deeper he went, the more Nobita felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that he had come out of the stone cave now, and it should be somewhere in Candle Dragon Mountain, but after walking for more than ten minutes, he didn't even see the shadow of the plants, and his feet were full of muddy dirt roads.
At this juncture, Zheng Ling'er suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, "Dad, what is that black shadow in front of you?" ”
Lin Daxiong muttered in his heart, and hurriedly followed her direction, and could vaguely see a black shadow through the thick fog, that thing seemed to be far away from here, and the black pressure could not see clearly, but it was very huge, and the previous jar was simply a baby in front of this black shadow.
"Don't move here yet, I'll go and have a look." Nobita commanded, pinched the yellow paper in one hand, and walked over with a miner's lamp in the other.
The fog was very big, Lin Daxiong walked over in fear, the black shadow suddenly began to shake sharply, and after seeing what it was, the next moment, a sense of fear that he had never felt before came to his heart, and his brain exploded for a while, it was actually ...... Live Kunpeng!
The dazzling light came from the wings, stabbing Nobita from opening his eyes, and in a panic, he subconsciously shouted at the others: "Not good! It's Kunpeng! ”
"Kunpeng?!" The three of them shouted in unison, and just as they were about to ask what was going on, a dark golden light pierced through the mist, followed by the sound of fluttering wings.
Such a behemoth appeared in front of him, Lin Daxiong reacted, he didn't have time to think about it, he turned around and ran on the road when he was coming, the light behind him shone abnormally, judging from the sound in his ears, Kunpeng was waving its two wing-like huge wings.
"What are you doing stupidly! Come on!!! ”
And Lu Fengxian seemed to be stunned, staying where they were, motionless, their eyes staring straight ahead. Lin Daxiong turned his head in fright, and suddenly understood, so angry that he almost burst out into foul language.
It turned out that this was a statue that was several times larger than before, and it was not a wave of wings just now, but the statue was shaking violently, causing the dye on the surface to fall off, and now the whole body was full of a dark golden luster.
"What's going on with this Kunpeng statue?" Lu Fengxian asked strangely.
Zheng Ling'er came out of nowhere to say a word, clapped her hands and said, "This is not a Kunpeng, it's a peacock!" ”
The statue was three or four meters tall, and it was still shaking, but it wasn't as intense as it had just been, and as the dye completely fell off, it gradually transformed into a golden peacock with its tail screen unfolded, but the wings seemed to be missing something, making the whole appearance look like a plucked black chicken, and the whole body was full of indescribable weirdness.
After such a toss just now, the surrounding dense fog actually dispersed a lot, Lin Daxiong didn't think too much about what the shaking was just now, his eyes swept around, and found that the surroundings were all wet mud roads, and only this peacock statue stood abruptly in front of him.
Several people glanced at each other, walked over and looked at the statue carefully, the surface was crystal clear, and the dark golden luster seemed to be emitted from the inside out, because there was an angle problem inside, so the light was a little dazzling from the outside.
"Could it be a type of translucent stone?" Lu Fengxian said suspiciously.
Lin Daxiong gently stroked the surface of the statue with his hand, it was very smooth, like a mirror that could print the shadow of a person, and just when he was stunned, a red light suddenly flashed on the mirror.
Secretly sighing badly, Nobita turned his head in a panic, and at some point Ji Shisan stood behind him, his eyes became red, and the green tendons on his face bulged all of a sudden, and he let out a roar like a beast.
Lin Daxiong was shocked by this sudden scene, and instinctively asked, "What's wrong with you......"
"Oops! Corpse poison invades the body! ”
Lu Fengxian took a look at Ji Shisan's clothes from behind, the entire back began to turn black, and the toxin spread upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, it had spread to the root of the ear, and small pimples were revealed from the surface of the skin......
