Chapter 81: The Human Head and the Body of the Snake
The two returned to the pothole with the only remaining person.
The fat man waited aside, and when he saw that the two of them were in place, he smiled, reached into the backpack behind his back, took out several detonators, and threw them out with a twist, one after another.
Boom - it was as if the whole world was spinning, and the deafening explosion was left far behind them.
The clods of soil kept falling down on the top of his head, and the fat man turned his head to look back, damn it, the tunnel had collapsed!
The stone slab above collapsed in large chunks, burying the hole where they had come down, along with the alchemy furnace.
"It's the end of the calf." The fat man shrunk his neck and sneered, "We can't go back at all."
Zhang Qixun didn't care, "This road is a dead end, there are so many dried corpses on it, and the palace gate is also closed, and if you go up, it will be a mouse marrying a cat, which is purely sending you to death."
Several people nodded in agreement.
After the catastrophe, he ran forward for a while, and the shaking completely stopped, and several people with gray faces sat on the ground, panting heavily.
The fat man wiped the sweat from his face and grinned, "The excitement of the real mother."
Wu Xiaoxie poured a few mouthfuls of water, choked and coughed for a while, and the soaring adrenaline eased up, patted the ears that were still buzzing, and scolded with a smile: "Where did you get the detonator from your mother, the master's ears almost deafened you."
The fat man laughed, "I picked it from Lao Pan's hand, plus the fat man's private collection, didn't I say it last time, there is no explosives, and I won't fight easily."
"The Queen Mother of the West, this old lady is good enough, and she has so many death squads to guard her grave, thanks to the strength of Muyu's arsenal, otherwise we will suffer a big loss."
Thinking about the dried corpse of that crowd of people, Wu Xiaoxie still has lingering palpitations, but Wang Zanghai's old ghost also miscalculated this time, no matter how he could not have imagined, a thousand years later, there will be a group of guys with hot weapons, and they will solve the killing tricks he planted without fattening.
"What is hidden in those dried corpses seems to be a snake, but it is covered with black prickly hair, and it looks like a centipede that has been magnified a hundred times, and the difference in appearance is obvious when compared to the neck of a pheasant." Wu Xiaoxie stretched out his hand and gestured.
Zhang Qixun nodded, "This snake is called the black-haired snake, although the appearance is very different, but it is actually a subspecies of pheasant's neck, and the poison is not as big as the pheasant's neck, but compared to the pheasant's neck that can learn human words, this snake is more weird, it is said that this snake can control people's thoughts, after being bitten by it, people will hallucinate, and if they can't fight with willpower, they will die in hallucinations."
The fat man smacked his tongue when he heard this, "It's not so mysterious, could it be that this snake is the embodiment of the White Lady's resentment, then we are not Fahai."
A few people laughed at him, and Wu Xiaoxiao said, "Maybe you are really the reincarnation of Fahai."
"Go, go." The fat man waved his hand, "If it is really reincarnated, then the fat man must also be the reincarnation of the King Kong Descending Dragon."
"Huh~" Everyone shouted in disdain.
There was a gag for a while, and the group continued on their way.
The passage is not very wide, barely allowing two people to walk side by side, there are no complicated carved patterns in the corridor, and the surrounding circle is paved with stone bricks arm long.
At intervals, there will be a small section of the tubular groove on the ground that has been melted and poured into the edge of the ground wire, and there is still some grease remaining in it, and it is obvious that this corridor was built for the convenience of passing people.
In order to prevent the lack of oxygen in the corridor, several people did not light the lamp oil.
Walking quickly through this section of the road, a narrow gap appeared at the end of the road, and after squeezing in, I found that it was a small stone chamber.
In the center of the stone chamber was an ashlar platform, on which were placed many amber translucent balls the size of basketballs, and something was faintly floating inside.
A few people approached, and when the light flickered, the fat man screamed, "Special mother, there are also jade figurines and corpses here!"
There are not many furnishings in the simple stone room, except for the four black jade figurines placed in the four corners against the wall, which are exactly the same as those outside, as if they are guards here.
Before those jade figurines woke up and came back to life, several people carried knives and quickly cut through the chaos
Hemp, directly poked the four jade figurines into a sieve.
The fat man was very curious, and he also peeled off one of the jade figurines with his own knife, and then picked out a softly stepped black-haired snake from the junction of his chest and throat.
Throwing the dead snake aside, the fat man pinched the skull of the dried corpse and took a closer look, and sighed, "These snakes used to eat brains, you look at this thing for Xuan, there is no juice left."
Zhang Qixun nodded, "Most likely, look at this."
He reached out and took out a small white-brown pellet from the Adam's apple of the dried corpse, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with a dagger, "This is white phosphorus and charcoal powder mixed with a lot of impurities."
He took out a very small thing from the throat of the dried corpse, and a very thin silk thread was attached to it, "This is a very ingenious little mechanism, in the outer hall, when the astrolabe mechanism is activated, the reason why those jade figurines will come to life is that the black haired snake inside feels the high temperature, and the function of this small mechanism is to drive the small mechanism to rub and ignite the white phosphorus powder at the same time as the big mechanism is activated, and wake the black haired snake from its dormancy."
"If we move those orbs on the stone platform as soon as we come in, we will definitely inadvertently trigger the mechanism and bring these jade figurines back to life." After Zhang Qixun finished speaking, he got up.
Wu Xiaoxie took out a small bottle of disinfectant spray from the side pocket of his backpack and sprayed it on his hand.
The little brother stared at the crack in the bricks at the feet of the jade figurines, and suddenly pulled out a knife and slashed at one of the bricks, with a crisp sound, and the stone bricks cracked in response.
The little brother withdrew the knife, stretched out two fingers of his right hand, clamped the cracked brick, and pulled it out.
Everyone leaned their heads over and saw that there was a mezzanine under the stone bricks.
There are many patterns carved on the mezzanine, and Chen Wenjin waved his hand, "Pry open all the bricks."
After a clang, all the stone bricks were lifted, and the complete pattern below was presented to everyone.
Chen Wenjin frowned and muttered, "This is ......"
The pattern is divided into two parts, the left and right, around the stone platform in the middle, carved two very strange creatures, the left one with a human head, covered with scales, the middle half of the body, but the tail like an exploding firework with many barbed antennae, the right one is just the opposite.
The fat man looked left and right, and uh, "This special mother, what does the fat man think, this special mother is to cut off a long worm and a centipede, and then switch tails with each other, and then install a human head?"
Wu Xiaoxie nodded, "I also think that this person has a snake body...... Could it be the immortality of the Queen Mother of the West? It's a bit too sloppy, isn't it?"
