Chen Xiaohu said that he had made proper preparations before he came, and he bought medicinal materials for understanding Gu at the pharmacy.

However, these medicinal materials are only suitable for ordinary Gu worms, like those extremely strange Gu worms in the Gu Sect, they cannot be cracked, so if you want to solve this matter smoothly, you need to be more careful.

Across the Eagle's Beak Creek is a dense wood, and although it is dark and dangerous in the forest at this time, we must take a risk to cross it.

After all, the Gu Altar was only a dozen meters away from us, in case the Gu worms flew out of the altar in the middle of the night to attack us, we would definitely be in a passive state at that time, and it would be almost impossible to dodge at that time.

Before walking to the dense forest, Su Dingqin observed the forest for a while, let a few of us take out the prepared flashlight from our backpacks, and then said: "Although I don't know how large this dense forest is, but we must not stay in it tonight, only through the dense forest can we find a place to rest, Xiangxi poisonous insects and fierce beasts are even more dangerous, here is so inaccessible that there must be big beasts infested, after entering the dense forest for a while, you must follow the team, you must not act without permission, if it is because of your own reasons to cause danger, then you will bear the consequences!" ”

Su Dingqin's face was solemn and serious, and it could be seen that he was also very jealous of the dense forest in front of him.

After all, we are now in the 100,000 deep mountains of Miaojiang, and there are countless strange and strange things here, and once we take it lightly, we may die here.

Su Dingqin saw that a few of us nodded in agreement, so he walked into the forest with a flashlight in hand, and a few of us followed.

As soon as I entered the forest, a cold air came from all directions, accompanied by a buzzing sound like a tide.

Looking at the sound through the light of the flashlight, there are countless mosquitoes in the dense forest.

In addition to the mosquitoes hovering in the air, there are hundreds of different insects lying on the trees, and the mosquitoes here are different from the usual mosquitoes.

In addition to being larger, it also has colorful spots on its body, which should be the rumored flower poison mosquito.

I have seen on TV before that this kind of flower poison mosquito is mainly produced in Xiangxi, and it is dozens of times more toxic than ordinary mosquitoes.

Ordinary mosquito bites on the body are nothing more than redness and swelling, the symptom is only itching, but the flower poison mosquito is different, once bitten on the human body, in addition to redness and swelling, there will be ulceration, and in severe cases, hallucinations.

If left untreated for a period of time, the toxicity of the wound may spread rapidly and eventually lead to the tragedy of amputation.

"Stop!" Just as I was looking around, Chen Xiaohu's voice came to my ears.

Hearing the voice, the few people who were originally marching all stopped and looked at Chen Xiaohu.

At this time, Chen Xiaohu had already taken off the backpack behind him, he unzipped it and took out a plastic bottle similar to a spray, and then said: "Although this Xiangxi Miaojiang poison insect is powerful, the flower poison mosquito in the dense forest is the invisible killer. ”

"I have heard the villagers of Shengmiao say that they are not afraid of the poisonous insects in Xiangxi, but they are afraid of the flower poisonous mosquito in this dense forest, once bitten by this flower poisonous mosquito, it will affect the central nervous system of people, thus making people hallucinate."

"The villager who told me about this incident had a nephew who died at the hands of the flower poison mosquito, he was bitten by the flower poison mosquito and did not treat it in time, and he hallucinated, and after getting up from the house in the middle of the night, he jumped directly to the cliff in front of his house, and when he found out, everyone fell apart, so we must be careful."

"I have a potion here, specifically to restrain the flower poison mosquito, after spraying it, the flower poison mosquito does not dare to get close within one meter, you quickly spray this potion on the body, otherwise we will never be able to get out of this forest."

Hearing this, Su Dingqin immediately took the potion and began to spray it on his body, and then several of us also sprayed the potion all over his body.

After the spraying of the potion, I looked around, and sure enough, the flower poison mosquitoes that had gathered around us actually dispersed.

They only dare to hover about a meter away, but they dare not bite us.

This is like the demon circle drawn by Sun Wukong to Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West, adding an invisible protective cover to us.

After the whole of us was sprayed with the potion, we continued to walk towards the dense forest, judging from the branches and growth of the surrounding trees, this road was almost untraveled, and it seemed that even the people who were growing seedlings rarely came here.

Walking all the way, Su Dingqin, who was walking in front after walking for about ten minutes, suddenly stopped, and then raised his hand and waved: "Stop, there seems to be a figure in front!" ”

Hearing this, several of us immediately stopped, and immediately looked in the direction of Su Dingqin's finger, and sure enough, there was a black shadow in the dense forest more than ten meters away from us, judging from the shape, it was definitely not an illusion caused by trees.

"How can there be a figure in the middle of the night now, besides, Shengmiao Village is twenty or thirty kilometers away from here, and it is absolutely impossible for the people of Shengmiao to enter the dense forest in the middle of the night, you guys wait here for a while, and I'll go over and see the situation." After Chen Xiaohu finished speaking, he pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, and then walked towards the direction of the dense forest.

About two or three minutes later, Chen Xiaohu turned back from not far away, walked to the front and back of us, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, saying that it was not a figure at all, but just a totem standing in the dense forest.

Hearing this, several of us immediately followed Chen Xiaohu to check, and came to the so-called figure to see through the light, it was just a strangely shaped stone pillar.

The stone pillar is carved with the appearance of various insects, and there is a human face with a mask on the top.

This mask looks very hideous, like a rakshasa, with eyes like copper bells, two sharp fangs at the corners of the mouth, nostrils turned up, and different insects painted on both sides of the mask, which looks very weird.

"Brother Chen, this is the traditional totem pole of Miaojiang? Why does it look so weird? Su Dingqin looked at Chen Xiaohu and asked.

"No, I've seen the totem pole in Miaojiang, it's definitely not like this, it's the first time I've seen the totem pole with insect patterns on it, it must be the people of the seedlings, after all, they are very in awe of Gu worms, and it is reasonable to carve them on the totem pole." Chen Xiaohu responded.

"Brother Chen, there seem to be some words engraved here, what does this mean?" Li Hai raised his hand to the bottom of the totem pole and looked down to see that there were indeed a few characters engraved in the insect pattern, but these words did not look like Han Chinese script, but some of them looked like the script of ethnic minorities.

Chen Xiaohu lowered his head when he heard this, and after a while, his face became a little gloomy, and said: "The words on this totem pole are used to deter outsiders, which means that there is only one way to enter Shengmiao, and from this point it can also be seen that the people of Shengmiao are very repulsive to Han people, and do not want them to enter the territory of Shengmiao, after all, the original Miao people have been divided into Shengmiao and mature Miao, and now the Miaos are basically Chinese, no different from Hanmin, so Shengmiao does not want people outside to enter their territory to affect themselves. That's why totem poles are erected here to deter outsiders. ”

"In that case, will we be targeted by them when so many people enter the seedlings this time?" Su Dingqin looked at Chen Xiaohu and asked.

"Try not to contact it, but I think it's a little difficult, after all, what we're looking for this time is where the Gu Gate is, 100,000 deep mountains in Miaojiang, not to mention outsiders, even if the locals put it in it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out, so if you want to find the Gu Gate, I'm afraid you still have to ask a local guide, don't worry about this matter, when the time comes, it will be on me, although I can't keep you safe this time, but I won't let you suffer from the people of Shengmiao." Chen Xiaohu cut the railway.

Seeing that Chen Xiaohu looked confident, a few of us were relieved, and then we continued to walk towards the depths of the dense forest without looking at the words on the column.

After about three to five minutes of walking, we walked out of the dense forest, and there was a gentle mountain terrain outside.

Standing on the mountain and looking into the distance, the 100,000 mountains of Miao Jiang under the moonlight come into view, which is indeed extremely spectacular, but I also admire the people of Shengmiao for being able to live in such a place without water and electricity for a lifetime, which is indeed difficult for ordinary people to accept.

After walking out of the dense forest, Su Dingqin was worried that he would be attacked by mosquitoes and wild beasts when he approached the dense forest, so he took us forward for a distance of about a kilometer, and it was not until we were far away from the dense forest that he stopped and let us set up camp.

The so-called encampment is nothing more than laying a moisture-proof mat on the ground and then laying a sleeping bag, after all, we entered the seedlings by manpower this time, so we didn't bring tents and other things, but it was already very good to be able to sleep warmly in this inaccessible place where birds don't.

After ten minutes, everyone got into the sleeping bag, and then began to rest, perhaps because they had walked too much during the day, and their bodies were already very tired, so after lying down, everyone quickly fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, I suddenly heard a small bell ringing, I woke up suddenly after hearing the sound, and immediately looked around, at first I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when I held my breath and found that the sound was indeed there, and the bell sound was very ethereal, I couldn't hear where the sound came from.

Previously, according to Chen Xiaohu, it was twenty or thirty kilometers away from Shengmiao Village, so how could there be a bell ringing, thinking of this, I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and found that it was already about two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was impossible for someone to hang out at such a late hour, could it be that we encountered something unclean?

Between contemplation, I crawled out of the sleeping bag, walked softly in front of Chen Xiaohu, squatted down and pushed him a few times with the palm of my hand, and after a while, Chen Xiaohu woke up, he looked at me sleepily and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Chen, don't you dare to go alone at night?" ”

"No, I heard a bell ringing when I was sleeping just now, do you think it could be something unclean, where did the bell come from in this barren mountain?" I looked at Chen Xiaohu and asked.

Chen Xiaohu suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, he opened his eyes and looked around carefully, as if he was listening to the surrounding movements, seeing that he was so cautious, I hurriedly asked him what was going on, Chen Xiaohu raised his hand and sighed, and then said in a low voice: "It's not a good thing to hear the sound of bells in the land of Miaojiang, which means that someone nearby is driving corpses!" ”

"Chase the corpse, you're talking about the corpse in Xiangxi!" I looked at Chen Xiaohu and asked in surprise.

I have seen the introduction on TV about the corpse in Xiangxi, this is one of the three evils in Xiangxi, and the other two evils are Gu Shu and the Falling Flower Cave Girl.

The so-called corpse is a part of the witch culture, also known as the spirit of the spirit, originated in the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi, and Lipu in Guchen Prefecture, and the Qing Dynasty widely spread the rumors of the corpse chasers in Xiangxi, that is, the corpse chasers used secret techniques to bring the corpses of people who died in a foreign land back to their hometowns, so that they could be buried in the earth.
