Volume 2: Dream of the Nu River Chapter 034 Land Scroll
Among these people, I still have a deep study of cultural play, and I know the value of this golden silk nanmu, and said: "My mother, golden silk nanmu coffin? How much does this cost, these people used all the money to repair the tomb to buy coffins. ”
Golden silk nanmu is a hardwood, which is hard and not perishable. Historically, it was dedicated to the royal palace and the famous temple. Golden silk nanmu is an old material of natural oxidation and carbonization of ordinary nanmu for a long time, during which the organic matter content is reduced, so it is not perishable. At the same time, the fiber structure of Jinsi Nanmu is conducive to the efflux of water vapor, coupled with the ancient antiseptic treatment technology of wood, even if it does not contain preservatives, it can survive for thousands of years. In addition, the old material of Jin Si Nan will emit a kind of aroma, and the ancients discovered its insect repellent and antiseptic effect very early, so the golden silk Nan wooden coffin can indeed preserve the corpse for thousands of years.
Yu Fatzi was a little disappointed, and said: "It must be so, this bucket doesn't look like it's rich, you say we can't drag a few coffins out, or let's tear down a few golden silk nanmu planks and go back, maybe we can discount some travel expenses." ”
"You kid just see the money open, if you dismantle the coffin boards, can you still hold them?"
"I'm not kidding." Fat Yu shook his head stupidly, "It seems that it is really another trip for nothing." ”
The coffins were stacked so tightly that we almost all squeezed through the only gaps. Daozi and Sister Meng were exploring the road in front, and suddenly they stopped moving forward without knowing what the situation was.
I squeezed up to take a look, only to see a coffin in the aisle in front of me, blocking the way, but the coffin lid on top had already been opened. Looking inside, the blue and purple corpse was not unusual, but I couldn't understand what the purpose of this coffin was here.
I leaned in and looked at the corpse inside the coffin, but I didn't see any clues, so I turned to ask the ghost marquis for advice. Maybe the ghost marquis didn't care, just glanced at it, and said to the knife: "Leave it alone, move it away." ”
In fact, Daozi was also stunned when he first heard the order of the ghost marquis, and felt that it was too hasty, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to do it. I muttered to myself, thinking, "It makes no sense to put a coffin here, unless it's deliberately blocked here, but it doesn't make sense." ”
I didn't understand for a moment that the knife had already been moved. I saw him put the flashlight in his mouth, grabbed the edge of the coffin with both hands, and then pushed it forward hard. The body of the knife is as strong as an ox, and he used to be a combat coach in a sports school, and his strength is even more amazing, and the coffin was pushed out by him alone.
But at this time, he suddenly screamed "ah", and then slammed the coffin, as if he was numb by the calcium carbide in the lighter when he was a child, and threw the coffin desperately, and then took a few steps back as if he was taken aback.
"Knives, what's wrong?" I hurriedly asked.
"Damn, there's something on this coffin that sucks blood!" I saw that there were indeed dense red dots on the hands of the knife, too many to count, and Sister Meng immediately squeezed it up to take a look and said, "It's broken, it's a bloodsucking blanket." ”
The ghost marquis was a little remorseful at this time, and said, "I was careless." ”
Sister Meng immediately took out a bottle of hydrogen peroxide from her backpack, helped disinfect the knife, and said: "Fortunately, you found it in time, once you suck it, you can't shake it off if you want to, and the speed of blood sucking is even more amazing, and it can suck a big living person into a dry corpse in a few minutes." ”
"Damn, such an evil nature!" When I heard this, I scolded indignantly.
"The monster of the bloodsucking blanket is also known as the 'ground roll', the shape is very similar to a blanket, even my Gu Ye has not seen it, but I have heard the old man who has seen it say that this guy is like a blanket for sleeping at home, the size is almost more than two meters square, and some are even bigger, living in deep pools or crevices in rock formations. I didn't expect to meet it in the ancient tomb this time. The ghost marquis said.
In the primeval forests of the western borderlands, the sky is covered with the sun, dense and unventilated, clouds and mist all year round, inaccessible to people, and thick rotten leaves are piled up on the ground. Legend has it that the land rolls that make the locals talk about it were first discovered here.
The back of the skin is covered with moss-like hairs, and there are many lamp-sized suckers on the ventral surface, if the suckers are sucked on the body of a person or animal, the suckers are like locusts, there is no way to tear them apart, and there are sharp barbs hidden in the suckers, which will firmly hook the skin until the blood is sucked dry, so that once any prey falls into its hands, it will surely die.
"You can't really see this thing if you don't look closely, the eye color is very close to the paint eye color of the coffin, and it is good at hiding, and when you don't suck blood, you can make your body very light and thin, and it will be like a layer of mold on the coffin, even if you find it, it won't attract attention." Knife said bitterly.
I looked at him again as he had said, and said, "It's true, if you don't look closely, it's really his way." Gu Ye, I finally understand why such a coffin was placed in the middle of the road, it deliberately let us carry it, and then take advantage of our inattention to ambush us. ”
The ghost marquis nodded, expressed his agreement, and said: "Everyone be careful, cheer up, don't go to the Tao again." ”
"Sister Meng, it doesn't matter if the knife hurts, right?"
"It's okay, the ground roll is not poisonous, I have already treated the wound, it won't be long before it will be fine."
The ghost marquis touched his mustache and said: "The organs in this ancient tomb don't play cards according to common sense, it seems that the more you go inside, it will be dangerous, little ghost, you take care of Sissi, don't make any mistakes." ”
I nodded, and the group continued on their way. Daozi and Sister Meng were exploring the road in front, and it didn't take long to walk, and they heard the sound of water droplets in front, "ding dong ding dong" dripping non-stop, and I said, "There seems to be a pool in front." ”
"The southwest region belongs to the karst landform development area, and there are many karst caves underground, and some karst caves will inevitably be dug for this tomb to be so large." Huai Rujin analyzed.
"Miss Huai is right, but, Master Gu, I always think it's weird here." We soon came to the cave, the whole area of the pool is about half the size of a basketball court, there is no road around, but there is a natural rock passage above the pool, although it is more rugged, but it can be passed.
The knife came down the rough rocky passage and said, "The road can be walked, but there is a pile of bones over there." The knife pointed near the rocky passage, and from a distance it did appear to be a pile of white bumps.
There was a pile of bones piled up in this secluded cave, and it was immediately terrifying. When we went up to look at it, we saw that it was a pile of complete bones, probably all dead here.
Suddenly, there was a heart-rending scream from the secluded cave, and I immediately counted the people around me, and at this time Huai Rujin was alert, "It's not good, it's my people!" ”
The knife immediately pulled out the long-handled knife, and I ran over, only to see the lower body of Huai Rujin's men wrapped in a green blanket, where they stomped desperately, but they just couldn't fall, and finally fell to the ground, struggling in pain, rolling constantly, and shouting hoarsely: "Miss! Help, it's killing me! ”
When the knife touched it with his hand, the thing was soft and slippery, with a layer of slime on it, and the "suction cup" the size of a rice bowl had faded all the man's leg hair, exactly the same as the ground roll he had encountered before, and said, "It's a ground roll of the ground." ”
At this time, the knife was about to raise the long knife, but he was afraid of injuring him by mistake, so he had no way to start. At the critical moment, I was in a hurry and shouted: "Sister Meng, give me some alcohol!" Sister Meng immediately understood, I took a large ball of alcohol cotton, used a lighter, and burned the leather roll there, only to hear the "squeak", the thing screamed, and the air emitted a smell of burnt hair.
"There's a play!" The knife exclaimed.
The knife was about to catch up and cut, but it was still a step too late, and the earth was burned by the fire, and suddenly his body shrank, and he fell from his body, and fled quickly on the ground into the water, one by one, one by one, until he escaped to the cave and the waterhole, and soon disappeared without a trace on the surface of the water after jumping into the waterhole.
Looking back at the subordinate who was still moaning on the ground just now, the muscles of his feet were already white, and then I looked closely, all the skin on my legs was peeled off, leaving only the white miserable muscles, which had been sucked dry to death.
"! What the is this! Yu Fatzi couldn't help but scold, in the blink of an eye, a living person died like this, and no one could stand it.
"Miss Huai, this ......" I felt a little guilty, although I had lost the scroll of land, but I couldn't get his life. Huai Rujin didn't say anything.
At this time, Yu Fatzi suddenly pulled me and whispered, "Hey, that thing seems to be floating up again." ”
"What?" I looked in the direction that Yu Fatzi pointed to, and there was indeed a blanket floating slowly on the surface of the water, and when I got closer, the blanket was still motionless, with two small, shining eyes on it.
"Damn, it's a roll of ground." I grabbed a rock and threw it at it, and with a "plop" it hit the center of it. No one would have imagined that this roll of land would glide over the water for a distance and soon disappear on the water.
"What are you doing, little ghost?" The ghost marquis said in a daze, "You will startle the snake like this." ”
"Master Gu, I'm just panicking in my heart, this thing has our people's blood debt."
"It seems that this thing is extremely aggressive, and it actually took the initiative to attack humans, so it can't be let go." The ghost lord said, "We have a way to deal with it!" ”
The knife seemed to understand what the ghost lord meant, and immediately took out a large bag of gray-white things from his backpack and threw them into the water. I thought it was quicklime, and it didn't take long for bubbles to pop up on the surface of the water, but after thinking about it, such a little quicklime was not enough to boil such a large area of water.
"Good guys!" Yu Fatzi didn't dare to blink when he saw it, for fear that these things would suddenly fly up from the water.
Huai Rujin immediately pulled out the dagger from his boots and waited for it. The ghost marquis said unhurriedly, "Little ghost, now do you know the consequences of your reckless actions? What if so many rolls of leather rushed up together? ”
I immediately apologized and said, "What Gu Ye taught me is that I didn't think about it. ”
The ghost marquis waved his hand, "It's good to know your mistakes." Now is not the time to say this, the knife is now. As he spoke, he saw the knife take out a fire-gun-like thing, and fill it with gunpowder and a bundle of needles.
"Needle?" I looked at the ghost marquis in confusion and asked, "What is this for?" ”
"Let's give them a rain of gold needles."
