I collapsed to the ground in an instant, and my mind kept wondering what was going on. How did I end up like this?

I held my head and scratched it a few times, wondering if someone was wearing a mask, but the more I scratched my face, the more fluff came on my face, and I was so anxious that I wanted to hit the wall.

Just as I was rushing, Xiao Qian shook my shoulder vigorously and shouted, "Brother Chenfeng, wake up quickly, something is wrong!" ”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a mess in the cave, and when I touched my face again, nothing changed.

It turned out to be a dream! I held my forehead and wiped the cold sweat for a long time, and finally took a breath.

But before I could calm down, Xiao Qian pulled me up again.

"Wake up! Something happened! ”

I reluctantly straightened up and looked in the direction she pointed, not far away, Professor Wu and Uncle Long seemed to be looking for something, and their expressions were very anxious.

When Professor Wu saw that I was awake, he beckoned, "Come here, the corpses of the army are gone." ”

What the? The corpses of the great army are gone? I was suddenly excited, and I thought to myself, could I really cheat the corpse?

I hurriedly walked to the mortuary in front of me, and Uncle Long said in horror: "I was still there before I went to bed last night, and it was gone in the morning, what the hell is going on?" ”

I saw Qin Xuanling sitting alone in the corner and seemed to be thinking about something, so I walked over and asked him what he thought of it.

He looked up at me and said calmly, "I haven't figured it out yet, but it shouldn't be a corpse." ”

Jin Hu was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and shouted vigorously: "It's so obvious that it's not a fraudulent corpse!" This is a corpse deception! Who's going to move the corpse to play? ”

Qin Xuanling said: "Probably, the corpse of the army was controlled by the Ghostface Spider. ”

Hearing this, everyone thought it was incredible, and we had already seen it if we wanted to say that the demon was possessed or something, but being controlled by the ghost-faced spider always felt that it sounded a bit nonsense.

Qin Xuanling knew that we didn't believe it, so he turned his head and asked me, "Do you remember those grimace spiders you stepped on to death?" I suspect it's likely that the three big grimace spiders laid eggs in the belly of the army. ”

I thought about it, the little grimace spider that I trampled to death all came out of the nose and mouth of the army, and we never stopped anywhere when we carried him back, is it really as Qin Xuanling said, the army has long been laid eggs in the stomach?

Jin Hu retorted: "How is this possible, a human belly is not a spider's nest, how can it lay eggs." ”

Qin Xuanling said: "Don't believe it, a long time ago, there was a method of incubating Gu worms in the stomachs of dead people in the Gu techniques in the Xiangxi area, I think these ghost-faced spiders are not ordinary goods. ”

I agree with this, those three big grimace spiders are surprisingly large, but their speed of action is very agile, in addition to genetic mutation, it seems that no animal in nature will evolve to such a contrary level, if it were not for Qin Xuanling this time, I am afraid we would have become egg beds a long time ago.

Uncle Long interjected again: "But these ghost-faced spiders are not Gu worms, how can they hatch so many young spiders in such a short time without human control." ”

Qin Xuanling didn't seem to bother to explain again, and threw us a sentence: "Believe it or not, anyway, my judgment is like this." ”

To be on the safe side, I found the shotgun on my body, and if that was the case, it would be a little more dangerous and a little unprepared.

After some discussion, the group decided to find a new place to camp.

In the words of the Golden Tiger, the place where the dead have been deceived and the corpse can no longer live, evil!

In fact, we are afraid that the army will come back, and now that he is neither a human nor a ghost, it is difficult to predict whether he will turn his gun and come to us in trouble.

Although we didn't have a lot of luggage, the supplies and equipment really brought a lot of burden to everyone.

After a busy morning, we finally set up camp on the shady side of a sloping place, not far from the cave, on the right side of the volcano.

Qin Xuanling's words just now made me faintly worried, those grimace spiders were so weird, I am afraid it would be a big trouble in the future.

Although I had been well prepared before I came, I still felt that it all happened too quickly and suddenly, and I was a little caught off guard.

Now we have to speed up our progress, there have been many accidents since we encountered those ghost birds, and if we don't complete the task soon, it will only get more and more troublesome.

What's more, we only had enough food to eat for a week, and the boat was broken, so we might have to face a lot of challenges when we left.

After yesterday's heavy rain, it was muddy outside, and everyone suffered a lot when they moved to camp just now.

I put on one last clean dress in my little tent, thinking that I still had a few more days to go through, and I was afraid that the rest would be very buried.

Four Eyes stood on a high place and observed for a long time, then came back and said to us, "It will rain in the future, so let's hurry up and go into the jungle." ”

Professor Wu naturally agreed, and the top priority now is to determine the location of the ancient tomb as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be.

With a little gear, we went straight down the mountain, from where we could cut straight into the middle of the jungle.

After walking a few steps, Jin Hu suddenly said, "Damn, shouldn't there be those grimace spiders?" ”

I turned my head and glared at him fiercely, what I needed most at this time was to stabilize everyone's emotions, and there was no way to do anything after a startled person like him.

The jungle was littered with charred tree trunks, and we searched for a long time to find the place where the wooden sign had been buried yesterday.

The exposed part of the wooden plaque has been burned to ashes, and the golden tiger and I dug up the part buried in the earth, and the remaining symbols are still well preserved.

Professor Wu said cautiously: "Everyone had better be careful, I don't know if those red-haired beasts will appear yesterday, don't have any accidents." ”

Uncle Long showed the machete in his hand and took the initiative to take on the guard task with his bodyguard Ah Wei.

After studying for a long time, Professor Wu and Jin Hu were puzzled by this place, it stands to reason that the ancient tombs were either built against the mountains or extended underground, and they were never built in the jungle.

At this time, Qin Xuanling was looking at the wooden card in a daze, as if he was deciphering the meaning of these symbols above.

Professor Wu leaned over and asked him if he had any clues, and he said, "The symbols of the Guigumen are equivalent to words, which are used for information transmission between the sects, and I learned a little bit of this symbol when I was a child, but I forgot a lot of content, so I'll try to crack it." ”

Did you learn it as a child? Could it be that the Longmen Daoist has any connection with the Guigu Gate?

Thinking that when he first joined the team, Qin Xuanling had always been inconspicuous, so except for Professor Wu and Han Sen who brought him here, we didn't know anything about his background.

But this man's skills should not be underestimated, and I can see from the experience of these two days that he is better than any of us in many ways.

Just as I was thinking nonsense, Qin Xuanling suddenly said, "I seem to understand the mystery above. ”

I hurriedly asked, "What did you find?" ”

He waved his hand and said, "I wasn't sure that everything was hypothetical, I just found that there were some things mentioned above." ”

Then he explained to me that he didn't look closely at this sign when he first saw it yesterday, and when we dug out the part that was not burned by the fire, he suddenly found that the symbol on it seemed to be an epitaph, which means that the owner of this tomb is named "Chen Yanshu", which is the outer road of Guigumen.

The meaning of the outer way is that he is a disciple outside the door, not an official disciple, but the Guigu Gate can specially bury him here and send a tamer to guard the tomb, which shows that this person's status in the Guigu Gate should not be low.

Professor Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "If we want to find the tomb owner, it's called Chen Yanshu!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of documents from his backpack, all of which had been shown to me at his house the day before departure.

Professor Wu pointed to one of the yellowed research reports and said, "Look, my tutor clearly wrote on this, that Xu Fu's apprentice is called Chen Yanshu, and the tomb we are looking for is his!" ”

This news immediately shocked everyone, and the haze that had shrouded their heads for several days was also swept away.

Professor Wu asked Qin Xuanling if he had any other discoveries, such as where the entrance to the cemetery was.

However, Qin Xuanling said that the symbols on the wooden plaque only descriptively told some things about Chen Yanshu, and the part exposed on it was still burned, so he couldn't guess the complete information.

It's just that there are a few mantras in the last paragraph, which vaguely seem to hint at some kind of law, similar to the five-element footwork.

But he compared for a long time, and only felt that if he acted according to this mantra, he would be circling around the wooden card, and there was no special meaning.

Jin Hu continued: "In fact, from the perspective of feng shui, this place is not suitable for building tombs at all, and there is a lot of rain here, and the tomb will easily collapse after a long time after seeping into the soil, so I think it is unlikely to be here, should it be a trick?" ”
