Chapter 198: Rare Birds and Beasts
Seeing that he and these soldiers had no business so quickly, I separated the two tiger talismans and closed them again, but this time there was no fire in the tiger talismans, there was no movement, and after trying several times it did not take effect, Huang Yunqiu said to me, "In non-war times, the army is not visible, and they need to fight just now, so they can wake up, and now is not wartime, and the tiger talisman cannot mobilize them." ”
I understood, put away the tiger talisman, and then looked at the white turtle corpses all over the ground and the living one in Huang Yunqiu's hand, although they looked weird, they were turtles after all, how could turtles grow up in human bodies?
Huang Yunqiu didn't know what it was, and I didn't bother to say much, so I just said, "What should I do now?" Do we deal with the serpent first and then go out, or do we go out first and come back to deal with the serpent? ”
Huang Yunqiu stretched out his hand and lifted the rune paper around my neck to look at it, obviously the situation was not very good, frowned and said to me, "There is no way to get out now, the rune paper can't completely suppress the toxicity, I have to find a way to solve it." ”
I smiled and said, "I don't even know what it is, how do I fix it?" ”
Huang Yunqiu thought for a while, "When I went to catch this thing just now, I found a hole at the end of the tomb pit next to me, when this tomb pit was built, they shouldn't have let other creatures in, whether it was a snake or a white turtle, it should have invaded." ”
"You mean, they came from the hole you found?"
Huang Yunqiu nodded and said gratitiously, "When the ancient emperors were buried, they would choose a group of rare birds and beasts from their own country to be buried together, and they would build a 'rare birds and beasts' pit for them, and there was also such a pit of rare birds and beasts in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. ”
"Didn't you say it grew out of those people's bodies? How did he become a crawler from the pit of rare birds and beasts again? ”
"How can this kind of thing grow in the human body, they should be very small at the beginning, crawl along the passage and enter the body from the mouth and nose of those soldiers, and then parasitize in the soldiers' bodies, and only come out of the broken soldiers' corpses when they are mature, this kind of thing is called parasitic beasts, also called parasites." Huang Yunqiu said eloquently, "There is a kind of insect called 'copper wire snake' outside, their larvae will choose to parasitize in the body of the praying mantis or locust, and gradually control the behavior of the host, and when the larvae mature, they will control the host to commit suicide, and then come out of the host's body. The copper wire snake should be something similar, so those soldiers in the burial pit next to it should no longer listen to the call of the tiger talisman, they will be controlled by these white turtles, this white turtle is so weird, how could Di Xin choose to let them enter the pit of rare birds and beasts to be buried together? ”
I once heard my grandfather say, when I was a child, I also saw with my own eyes, there are many locusts in the countryside, at that time, the sky is not afraid to catch locusts everywhere, many of them will crawl out of the body of some black long worms, but we call it 'Tencel', some people call them 'iron worms'.
Only by figuring out the ins and outs of this thing can we first solve the toxicity on my body, Huang Yunqiu gave some guesses, but he couldn't understand the reason why Di Xin put this thing into the pit of rare birds and beasts.
I thought of another possibility, "Maybe this thing was not put in by Di Xin, the turtle is similar to Xuanwu, and Xuanwu is the totem of the Zhou Dynasty, Shang and Zhou are enemies of each other, and Xuanwu and Di Xin have had conflicts, he should not put this thing into his tomb." Jiang Ziya once entered the tomb of Di Xin, wanting to break the bureau under Di Xin's cloth, Jiang Ziya They believe in Xuanwu, you just said that this white turtle can control the behavior of the host, I think they are very likely to be left by Jiang Ziya when he entered the tomb pit, Jiang Ziya is worried that the things in the tomb of Di Xin will be resurrected, so he put these things to control the burial objects of the tomb of Di Xin, including those soldiers. ”
If this is the case, then Jiang Ziya's move is too high, just using this trick to break more than half of the situation of Di Xin's tomb, if Di Xin's corpse also enters this kind of white turtle, then the competition between Jiang Ziya and Di Xin will end in Jiang Ziya's complete victory.
Although I have roughly figured out the ins and outs of this white turtle, but I don't understand how to solve this poison, I am anxious, Huang Yunqiu is also anxious, and said to me, "If this white turtle has something to do with Xuanwu, Xuanwu and Suzaku are enemies of each other, and I hope Suzaku can restrain its poison." ”
"Where can I find Suzaku?" I said helplessly.
Even the two heads that appeared just now can only be regarded as illusory bodies at best, and even if there is really a Suzaku, I am afraid that they are lying with Di Xin.
Huang Yunqiu said, "According to the specifications of ancient tombs, the pit of rare birds and beasts is also called 'food palace', it is a place to prepare food for the emperor, the emperor's bedroom is not too far from the food palace, if we can follow the passage of the tomb pit next to it, we can reach the pit of rare birds and beasts, and then from the pit of rare birds and beasts should be able to go to the palace of Emperor Xin, if the red bird really exists, it will definitely be in the palace." ”
"There are at least thousands of white tortoises in the grave pit next to you, how can we solve it?" I smiled wryly, "Looks like I'm going to die." ”
Huang Yunqiu glared at me, then found a rag to tie up the four-legged mouth of the white turtle in his hand, threw it on the ground, and then said to me, "I'll go to the pit of rare birds and beasts, if I don't come back, don't come to me, just wait here, your master will come to save you sooner or later, and when he sees the white turtle, there should be a way to solve it." ”
Huang Yunqiu is really good to me, I was greatly moved by her words, I can also understand why grandpa they missed and trusted Huang Yunqiu so much, she was kind-hearted, she once fought with jackals, tigers and leopards to save people, and now she has to take risks alone, no one will dislike such a person.
I stared at her blankly, trying to say a word of thanks, but I couldn't.
Seeing me like this, Huang Yunqiu smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with you?" I'm just going to see it, and it's not like it's not coming. ”
If I open my mouth to keep her, it will seem very hypocritical, I am afraid of death, and I am afraid of her death, I can't say those hypocritical words, I thought about it and finally held back a sentence, "You are gone, I will be very scared here alone." ”
Huang Yunqiu listened to my words and glanced at it a few times, smiled and reached out and touched my head, "Don't be afraid, didn't you say you were a man." ”
She was about to turn around and leave, and was just about to leave from the waterway, but saw a black shadow appear from the water, and the giant snake probed out and stood with Huang Yunqiu looking at each other.
The giant snake was disturbed by us eating just now, it should not have eaten enough, and now it is looking for the corpse again, it has already confronted us once, it already knows that we are not its opponent, this time it is much bolder, just saw Huang Yunqiu opened his mouth and made a dull sound, the fishy smell came to him, Huang Yunqiu took a few steps back, looked back at me and said, "It seems that I can't go." ”
Bang!
The giant snake suddenly attacked, opened its mouth and bit Huang Yunqiu, and made a gesture to swallow Huang Yunqiu, but saw Huang Yunqiu jump and jump directly on top of the giant snake's head, and then shouted at me, "Take a weapon and give it to me." ”
I said yes, quickly turned around and snatched a Changge from the hands of the soldiers behind me and threw it to Huang Yunqiu, Huang Yunqiu took Changge and was about to insert it into the head of the giant snake, but was thrown out by the giant snake with a swing of its head and fell to the ground.
I also took a long brother and confronted it, Huang Yunqiu saw that the giant snake looked at me, and made a voice, "Hey, here! ”
The giant snake turned its head to Huang Yunqiu again, and smashed it again, seeing Huang Yunqiu raise Chang Ge in his hand, he only heard a bang, Chang Ge only entered the jaw of the giant snake with less than a finger long, and Chang Ge in Huang Yunqiu's hand had been broken, and Huang Yunqiu also pushed this reaction to the ground, and the fall was not light.
The serpent roared a few times before probing over. I directly threw away Chang Ge in my hand, anyway, Chang Ge was useless, so I simply took out the tiger talisman again, combined the two into one and shouted, "It's time for war, it's time for you to wake up." ”
The tiger met for a moment, and there was no firelight, but a loud noise was heard, and the giant snake then fell to the ground, and his head fell to the ground, and then looked, Liu Cheng followed the body of the giant snake to the top of the giant snake's head, and then said to me, "Give me the weapon." ”
I hurriedly threw the weapon to him, and Liu took the weapon, removed the bronze parts from the weapon, and directly plunged it into the body of the giant snake with a wooden stick, nailing the giant snake to the ground.
