Chapter Seventy-One: Gu Worms
"Then hurry up and open it, what are you waiting for?" The big head said to Uncle Zheng with some eagerness. We are all in the same mood, the exit is right in front of us, and of course we want to get out quickly.
Uncle Zheng glanced at Zheng Wen meaningfully, and then shook his head gently, I don't know what they are signaling to each other, but now I pay attention to every movement of Zheng Wen. Especially now that he is about to go out, I don't know what Zheng Wen is working for that force.
"Everyone take a step back, don't go too far, and enter that formation." Kong Sanye waved his hand back towards us, and we all listened to Kong Sanye's words and took a step back.
In this way, the coffin in the middle leaked out. Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye began to surround the coffin and carefully searched for it.
The five of us looked at Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye in five directions, expecting that they would be able to open the coffin as soon as possible. But it took a little longer, and we were all a little anxious, and the big head shouted at Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng over there: "Kong Sanye, Uncle Zheng, have you found how to open it, if it doesn't work, a few of us will open it after lifting the lid together." ”
Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye didn't pay attention to the big head, but carefully looked for it on the coffin. I believe that Kong Sanye didn't let us lift the lid for their own reasons. After all, these nine coffins are not a joke, and if you are not careful, you will die.
Another moment passed, and I saw that Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye stopped their movements at the same time, looking tired, and it seemed that a lot of physical strength had been consumed.
We saw that the movements of their hands stopped, and we couldn't wait to watch: "Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, can you open it now?" ”
"Wait a minute, we just found the trap on the coffin, and there is another one that hasn't been broken. After a break, it will be broken, so everyone will rest for a while, but you can't just walk around. "Even if Uncle Zheng doesn't say it, we don't dare to move around casually, although the coffins behind us seem simple, but the nine coffins can kill the killing array.
You can't move, you can only stand or sit on the floor. We had eaten everything and sat on the floor in order to maintain our strength.
Not long after I sat down, the big head on the other side cautiously moved in my direction. Looking at the slow movement of the big head, I always feel a little funny.
After the big head came over, he sat next to me, looked at the people next to him, and found that Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye had gone to the coffin to look at it again, and Zheng Wen and they didn't notice this, so they carefully took out something from their arms for me to see.
The thing was tightly wrapped by the big head, and when the big head opened the wrapped cloth layer by layer, it turned out to be a small insect inside.
If it were a normal bug, I wouldn't be so shocked. The insect that the big head took out turned out to be the legendary Gu worm, which couldn't help but surprise me.
Legend has it that Gu worms are made by putting all kinds of poisonous poisonous insects in a closed container and letting them fight each other in it, and the last one left is called Gu - Gu.
For Gu worms before, I had only heard of them and had never seen them real. This is the first time I've seen it, and it's a bit like a normal beetle, but with wings on its back.
"Big head, where did you get this toy from?" I looked at the Gu worm that didn't have much energy, but was still moving, and asked in a low voice towards the big head.
"I came in just now, and I found it on those coffins, I don't know what it is, I don't dare to take it with my hands, I tore off a piece of cloth on my clothes and wrapped it." Seeing that my voice was very low, the big head also suppressed my voice as low as mine, only enough for the two of us to hear.
When I came in just now, everyone was together, and I didn't see anything in the big head's hand, but why did this thing suddenly appear now, I asked with some confusion.
"It was the first time I came in alone. As soon as this thing arrived, you dragged it out. "When the big head said this, I understood, it turned out that it was the time when he entered the Nine Coffins Destruction Formation alone. Kong Sanye said that it was the luck of the big head that time, and if he went somewhere else, it was very likely that there would be no bones. But I didn't expect that the big head entered this coffin array that time, and there was such a discovery.
"Does anyone else know?" I continued to ask in a low voice to the big head, and looked at the other coffins next to me with some fear, if they were really all of these Gu worms, then we were really in danger.
"No, I'll only tell you one person, the big group doesn't know." When the big head spoke, he also glanced at the big group over there, and the big group was admiring the Tang knife with the crooked mouth, "Qiangzi, what is this bug?" ”
"This is a Gu worm." These words of mine frightened the big head so much that he didn't hold the cloth in his hand steadily, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the Gu worms are relatively weak now and can't fly, otherwise we will be in danger.
I don't know who raised this Gu worm, could it be the person who put out the Nine Coffins Breaking Killing Array, this Gu worm is also a part of the Nine Coffins Breaking Killing Array? But thousands of years have passed, and this Gu worm is still alive, which is really a bit incredible.
"Big head, when you caught this Gu worm, did you see anything else in those coffins?" I wonder if this Gu worm is this one, or if there are more.
If there is only one Gu worm, then it will be easy to do, now this one is already in our hands, as long as we don't let it escape, there will be no danger to the community. If there are many, tens of thousands, so many, then it will be troublesome, just ask Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng to open the exit quickly, so that we can get out smoothly.
I opened the bottle of mineral water from my backpack that I hadn't been willing to throw away this year, asked the big head to put the Gu worm in the bottle, and then put it in the backpack, which felt safer.
Suddenly a question came to mind, Uncle Zheng and the others were opening the coffin, would there be Gu worms. I stood up abruptly and walked towards Uncle Zheng and them, and I startled the big head when I got up. But he got up quickly and hurried with me.
Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye may have reached the most important stage, but they saw that the two of them were very careful and calm in their hands, and their faces were full of solemnity.
Seeing that Datou and I had already stood up and arrived at Uncle Zheng's side, Datuan and Crooked Mouth and Zheng Wen over there also all stood up, all of them looking at Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng with anticipation. Now the export is all in the hands of the two of them.
Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng cooperate very tacitly, and they look like old partners. Watching their skillful movements gave us a very strong confidence that it would not be long before the entrance would be opened.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye to stop their movements at the same time. Although he looked tired, the expression on his face this time was not solemn, but a little more joyful. I asked them with some expectation, "Uncle Zheng, Third Master Kong, are you done?" ”
The two of them nodded at the same time, and when we saw them nodding, several of us almost shouted. Kong Sanye then said: "Qiangzi, big head, it's up to you now, as long as you open the lid of the coffin, the way out is inside." ”
We didn't say any more, we just took the tools out of the backpack, tied the sarcophagus lid with a rope, and began to pull it up hard.
Since we are in the midst of the Nine Coffins Destruction Array, even if we only want to lift the lid of the sarcophagus, we have to be careful step by step and not make a mistake. Fortunately, Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye were by their side, so they avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.
A few minutes later, there was a dull sound, and the lid of the sarcophagus slammed to the ground, splashing a puff of smoke. When the dust settled, seven of us used seven flashlights to shine into the coffin at the same time.
I saw that there was no body in the coffin, and there were no Gu worms in it, which made my heart suddenly relax a lot. But there was no exit in the sarcophagus, and we all looked at Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng with some confusion, wanting to know something from them.
It was Kong Sanye and Uncle Zheng, the two old guys stood beside the stone coffin and glanced at each other, and then kicked the sarcophagus twice at the same time. The bottom of the coffin slowly moved, revealing the stone steps below.
This is the way out, we have been in this tomb for many days, and now that the exit is in front of us, this moment is a little unreal.
In this ancient tomb, when we came in, there were so many people, and when we went out, there were only seven people left. The river diggers who came in with Zheng Wen, except for him and Datuan's crooked mouth, all died. Those who died are likely to be the pillars of their families.
Of the few people who came in with Uncle Zheng, Uncle Zheng is now the only one left. The two mercenaries and Brother Li all died in this tomb. The photo of Brother Li's youngest daughter is still on me.
The most unbearable thing is the cold knife, although he is said to be dead, but he has become a walking corpse, and he is still wandering around in this ancient tomb.
"I'll go in first." The big head said that he was about to go down to the coffin, but was blocked by Uncle Zheng. Uncle Zheng tightly dragged the big head who wanted to enter the coffin and said: "The situation inside is unknown, it's better to let the crooked mouth go in first, after all, we can rest assured that the crooked mouth is skillful." ”
Uncle Zheng is understandable to say this, we all know that crooked lips are skillful. Although it is said that the exit has been found, after all, the road ahead is not very clear, and there is a crooked mouth in front, and everyone can rest assured.
Crooked his mouth glanced at Uncle Zheng, nodded, turned over and entered the coffin with the Tang knife in his arms, stepped down a few stone steps, and only after finding that there was no problem did he wave at us.
Then it was Uncle Zheng and Kong Sanye who went down, and Uncle Zheng glanced at Zheng Wen thoughtfully before going down. Zheng Wen nodded at Uncle Zheng.
Just when Datou and I were about to jump into the sarcophagus, Zheng Wen suddenly became troubled, rushed towards me, and pulled me to my side, and the Tang knife was already on my neck.
"Zheng Wen, what the hell are you doing, let go of the strong son." The big head saw Zheng Wen's Tang knife on my neck, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and stood on the edge of the sarcophagus with Datuan.
And what was even more surprising was that Uncle Zheng retreated by himself after Kong Sanye and Datuan entered the steps, closing the exit. Uncle Zheng stood beside Zheng Wen and said to the big head and the big group over there: "Don't be too afraid, you two, we don't want his life, he is still useful to us, but he has to go out with us." ”
As soon as I heard this, I knew that it was the force behind Zheng Wen who was looking for me. The reason why they came in was to look for grandpa, and now that he found that he was not here, they turned their eyes to me. The reason why they caught me was because of my grandfather.
"Zheng Wen, Uncle Zheng, you are not Zhang Dahai's people, so which force are you from?" Since I had already torn my face, I asked directly.
"You know it all. But you don't need to know who we are now, and you will know when you go out with us. Zheng Wen looked at the big head and the big group on the opposite side vigilantly, and said with a smile.
