Is it a torch burning on the wall?

It was the first thing that came to my mind, because I had used to have a strange oil lamp in the past, so I instinctively thought of the torches that flared on either side of the walls of the passage.

Suspicious, I walked towards a nearby torch, which, after some investigation, turned out to be kerosene.

Liu Qiaomei saw me looking at the torch on the side of the wall and was stunned, naturally guessed what I was thinking, only to see her walk to my side and also looked at the burning torch and said: "I have checked the torch, there is no problem, as for why it has been burning and not extinguished, I think it is because the kerosene used in this torch should be mixed with magnesium powder or scale powder." ”

Liu Qiaomei's analysis is very reasonable, so this strange hallucination cannot be caused by the torch.

But if it weren't for torches, what would it be?

I was puzzled by this again.

"Do you smell a faint scent in this passage?"

Liu Tingting suddenly frowned, sniffed around.

"Scent?"

Listening to Liu Tingting's reminder, I hurriedly opened my nose and smelled wantonly around.

Or maybe I sucked the damp cloth stained with the hot spring of Xiaoliuzi so hard that I even had the residual fluid of the hot spring in my nose.

So no matter how hard I tried, all I could smell was the pungent and strong smell.

"Well, when you say that, it seems that there is really a faint fragrance, which seems to be the fragrance of flowers!"

Liu Qiaomei also nodded and said in the affirmative.

In fact, among the six of us, it seems that only Liu Qiaomei and Liu Tingting smelled the so-called fragrance, and we few old men didn't feel it at all, or the men themselves were immune to the fragrance.

Liu Qiaomei said that this is the fragrance of flowers, and Liu Tingting affirmed it, and the two women seemed to be very fascinated by the fragrance.

Fragrance and beauty are temptations that women can't resist in their lives, even the monks and nuns in the temple are no exception.

Women are inscrutable creatures in this world, so I'm not too surprised by the two of them.

But I didn't let my guard down because of this, but beckoned the dogs and a few of them to follow quickly, just in case anything happened to the two women.

I don't know how long I've been walking, but even I can ask about the so-called fragrance.

The smell is very strange, it can not only stimulate the olfactory nerve, but even through the nasal cavity to the brain, giving people the feeling of being integrated into the blood.

"Auntie, look!"

Liu Tingting stopped first, and suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed.

I followed Liu Tingting closely, so when Liu Tingting exclaimed, I also looked in the direction of her finger.

I saw that on the ground five meters away from us, there was an extremely gorgeous flower, which looked a little similar to a lily at first glance, but when you looked closely, there was a big difference.

The color of the flower is extremely bright, it is the kind of delicate blood red, and on the petals of the flower, you can faintly see the lines of a human face, which is very strange.

At that time, I was very puzzled, as we all know, flowers and plants cannot survive without soil, and now this is such an environment, the stone road under the feet is almost integrated, and there are not even gaps in the road, how does this blood-red flower grow?

In the passage, the ground was much darker than the rest, perhaps because the flames of the torches rose straight upwards.

In order to find out how the strange flower grows, I hurriedly thought about taking two steps forward, casually turned on the flashlight and looked at the blood-red flower again.

When the flower appeared, I already thought it was weird, and now when I take a close-up look at it with a flashlight, it almost shocks my jaw.

Under the flashlight, everything in front of me is so clear and unobstructed.

I finally saw where the flower was growing......

It clearly grows in the abdominal cavity of a corpse!

The corpse's skin was iron-blue, without the slightest trace of blood, and there was a huge hole in the chest and abdomen, and the strange flower with a human face grew out of the hole.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be stunned, it was the first time in my life that I saw flowers growing from corpses.

Seeing the corpse and flowers, several of us were extremely frightened, and the little sixth son, who was not yet an adult, was even more frightened, obviously he had never seen such a strange scene.

"This ...... This is...... Corpse fragrance flower ......! ”

Liu Qiaomei suddenly looked at the corpse, her face was very ugly, and she exclaimed.

"Corpse flowers? What corpse flowers? ”

At this time, Liu Qiaomei's face was already extremely difficult to see, since I entered this underground fortress, it was the first time I saw her face to such a point, even when Brother Leopard was unconscious.

"I have heard the older generation say that this is a strange flower from the Western Regions, and the fragrance it emits can make people hallucinate, if you guess correctly, it was because I unconsciously inhaled the fragrance of this corpse fragrance flower, so I was confused by the ...... of the senses."

Saying that, Liu Qiaomei's face became more and more ugly, feeling like she had died of all her loved ones, and she had nothing to love.

"The corpse fragrance flower is based on the blood in the human body as nutrients, so it got this name, its survival time is very short, from blooming to withering is just a few days, it depends entirely on when the blood as a nutrient is exhausted, the corpse fragrance flower in front of you has been facing withering, but it has completed its mission of survival in the world."

"Mission, mission, mission?" I asked, puzzled.

I saw Liu Qiaomei turn her head to look at me, then sighed and said: "The mission of plants is to spread flower seeds, and the seeds of corpse fragrant flowers are as thin as pollen, and they will drift away with the fragrance they emit, so as to find a new nutrient host." ”

After listening to Liu Qiaomei's words, several people present were all speechless, and after a long time of relaxation, I asked again: "Auntie, you say that, are we inhaling the fragrance of corpse flowers at the same time, have we also inhaled the flower seeds into our bodies?" ”

As soon as I heard my words, Liu Tingting immediately shouted as if she was out of proportion, "Oh my God, I smelled so much, didn't that inhale thousands of flower seeds, it's over, those flower seeds may have taken root in my blood, I'm going to die!" ”

Although the incense is very fragrant, the flowers are also very beautiful, and they can be reluctantly accepted by others, but if they want to grow from their own bodies, I am afraid that no one will face them calmly.

Not only Liu Tingting, but I was also terrified at this time, thinking that it would not be long before the strange corpse fragrance flowers would grow in my body, I really wanted to drink a bottle of paraquat in my stomach now, maybe only in this way can I kill it completely.

"Auntie, are we all going to die?!"

I looked at Liu Qiaomei with a heavy face, waiting for her response.

I thought she would sigh helplessly and nod silently, but what I didn't expect was that her response to me was to sway from side to side.

"No, the conditions for the growth of corpse incense flowers are extremely harsh, the body temperature will only sprout and grow below ten degrees, as long as we are alive, they will not sprout in our body, although as long as we don't die, it's fine, but ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Qiaomei's brows were almost twisted together.

"Auntie, but what?"

Liu Tingting and I asked almost at the same time.

Liu Qiaomei frowned deeply and said in an extremely heavy tone: "We have all inhaled a large number of flower seeds, flower seeds are nectar, and they can produce fragrance, which means that our sensory nerves will be disturbed because of this, resulting in irrepressible nerve hallucinations!" ”
