Volume 1 Chapter 10: Phantom Silkworm Eggs

Because Master Cao was talking to the second brother, the second brother didn't respond, and still walked blindly in place with empty eyes.

Master Cao hurriedly recalled what he had done differently from them before, so that he could get out of the loop.

Soon, Master Cao suddenly thought that only he had smoked a cigarette before, thinking of this, Master Cao hurriedly took out a cigarette and lit one for several people and stuffed it in their mouths.

Sure enough, the second brother and Dawu quickly recovered, no longer started to spin in place, and began to walk in other directions.

At this time, Master Cao called their names again, and several people quickly responded, and then looked around with blank faces.

Master Cao told his second brother about his experience, and everyone was surprised by it.

I said, "It's really weird, this should belong to the illusion..... But the way to dispel illusions is to smoke? ”

"Third Master Qiu, you are still too one-sided, the key to dissolving the illusion is not smoking, but smoking...."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder if we had been unable to get out of the tomb because we had all been caught in some kind of illusion and needed smoke to dismantle.

But I didn't come into contact with any smoke, so why did I get out of touch with the team and walk out of the loop on my own?

I raised my question, and Master Cao also shook his head: "Originally, based on the situation of me and the second master, it was concluded that this illusion can only be lifted with smoke, but you didn't smoke and didn't come into contact with smoke to cancel the illusion.... Maybe it's not about smoking, it's just about triggering some kind of mechanic. ”

The second brother yawned and replied, "Bullshit.... As soon as I came out of the illusion, I noticed that the top of the tomb was crawling with a lot of insects. I just thought about it, this insect should be called the phantom silkworm, my grandfather once mentioned to me that this kind of insect mostly appears in the mountains of Xiangxi..... The eggs of these phantom silkworms are very small and almost invisible to the naked eye, and these phantom silkworms fly into people's eyes, and people will hallucinate. I think when we enter this tomb, we must have the eggs of these phantom silkworms in our eyes, so we can't get out....."

"The reason why smoking can dispel the illusion is that these silkworm eggs are in a very low temperature place, and when they are smoked by the smoke, they all die as soon as the temperature is high, so the illusion is lifted.... As for Qiuzi, didn't you walk with your eyes closed later, and if you don't have vision, you naturally won't follow what you see in front of you, so Zhang walked out in a disorderly manner. ”

I was stunned, when the second brother said this, doesn't this mean that the silkworm eggs in my eyes are not dead? Could it be that what I am seeing now is still an illusion?

All of a sudden, I was covered in a cold sweat.

Bai Sha saw my thoughts, and said with a smile: "Do you think that you are not smoked, and now the silkworm eggs are still in your eyes, and what we see now is also illusion?" ”

I nodded subconsciously, and Bai Sha rolled his eyes.

"When you just walked out of the cycle with your eyes closed, maybe the silkworm eggs were still alive in your eyes, but when you took the lighter with me to find the flashlight, you were very close to the fire, and the silkworm eggs had already burned to death."

"Oh."

The second brother and Master Cao were not idle, they took out paper and markers, and began to draw the layout of the entire ancient tomb according to their memory, trying to find a breakthrough.

I looked at Bai Sha, and I couldn't tell his emotions from his expression. He gives me the impression that he is a very capable person, but he is not taciturn, does he still tell a bad joke, but he often suddenly "hides", obviously a bunch of people are communicating, but he is silent.

I now kind of regret that I didn't learn a little about tombs with my father and my dad, at least now it can come in handy.

Master Cao and the second brother spent a long time drawing the layout of the entire tomb, but they could not draw a complete map of the ancient tomb. After all, the tomb is very large, there are no less than five tombs, and there are countless tombs and corridors, and we have only been to three tombs so far.

It is even more difficult to draw a layout of an ancient tomb based on the known location of the tomb chamber and the tomb road.

I was a little bored waiting, so I leaned against the tomb wall and fell asleep, and when I was woken up again, Dawu told my second brother that he was going to open the remaining five coffins.

I rubbed my eyes and asked, "Found the exit?" ”

"Nope."

"Then what kind of coffin will be opened, in case of a bloody corpse, we must not be wiped out?"

The second brother took a cigarette in his mouth, pointed to the top of our heads, and then explained: "We are now equivalent to a two-story tomb, in order to prevent the tomb above from crushing the bottom, this tomb must have a very powerful and heavy coupon, and it must be no fun to go out of the main tomb..... I guessed the structure of this tomb with Master Cao, the back of the main tomb should be the back room, the tomb wall there should be relatively weak, after opening the coffin and taking the artifact, let's go to the back room, and see if there is any possibility of going out..... As for the bloody corpses, I don't believe that these six coffins are full of bloody corpses! ”

I wanted to stop the second brother, but I saw that Dawu, Master Cao, and Bai Sha didn't have any objections, and I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.

Soon, the second brother and Dawu took out the folded sapper shovel, walked next to the coffin and began to lift the coffin lid, I saw that they were very struggling to help. Bai Sha on the side was one step ahead of me, he snatched the sapper shovel in Dawu's hand, and at a very tricky angle, he suddenly exerted force, and the coffin lid moved magically, and then quickly took a few steps back.

I raised my heart to my throat, for fear that a bloody corpse would suddenly fly out of it.

Fortunately, we waited for a few minutes without any movement, and the second brother stepped forward and poked his head into the coffin, with an excited expression on his face.

He reached in and fumbled a few times, and quickly took out a wrench from it, I didn't know those things at the time, and I couldn't see how much the wrench was worth, but I saw the second brother muttering in his mouth, "This dead eunuch is really a greed!" ”

Dawu followed the second brother to open all five coffins in one go, and a lot of treasures were found in the coffins, none of which were very big things, just so that we could take them away without effort.

In my opinion at the time, how much these gadgets were worth was not as good as a large artifact. But later, I learned with my second brother at the auction that the starting price of the wrench was 250,000.

Obediently, you must know what the concept of 250,000 was in the past few years, not to mention the starting price!

When the second brother and they touched the gold, Bai Sha didn't seem to be interested in those things, he frowned and stared at the corpse in the coffin, and after a while, he moved his position and changed his mouth to look at the coffin.

The corpses in these coffins had long since been completely decomposed and dried, turning into human bones, and jewelry and other things were left around them.

Driven by curiosity, I walked up to his side, followed his gaze, and found that Bai Sha had been staring at the hands of these bones.

At first glance, I didn't find anything abnormal on it, but after carefully counting it, I was shocked to find that the human bones in these coffins were actually six fingers!
