Volume 2: Dream of the Nu River Chapter 056 Professor Chen's legs

"You see there's a stone tablet here."

"Oh?" I looked at it in amazement, and saw a stone tablet the size of a stone bench on the ground, with a wild boar-like pattern engraved on it, which seemed to be a totem, and there were some strange words underneath the totem.

I could see at a glance that the words were exactly the same as the last time I saw them in the inscription tomb, "This is Yi script?!" ”

Peng Delin nodded, "Yes, this is the ancient Yi script, and the interpretation of it cannot be fully understood even now." He pointed to the words on the stele and read it, I just thought the pronunciation was strange, it was quite similar to Ah San, and said to me, "Do you know what this means?" ”

"I don't understand, how can I understand?" I shook my head.

"I'm just scratching the surface, and it's supposed to be an ancient curse."

"Most of the time it means that those who go in will not die well." I said.

"No, no." Peng Delin's face looked a little strange, and it could even be said that he was afraid, and he said in a trembling voice, "I have seen these words in my junior brother's research notes, could it be that he has been here?" ”

"Your junior brother?" I was surprised.

"Chen Xiongying, if he hadn't disappeared later, he would have been a well-known figure in the archaeological world by now."

Chen Xiongying once taught in Sichuan University with Peng Delin, was kind and kind, knowledgeable, obsessed with inspecting cultural relics and historic sites, and had a strong research spirit of workaholics.

"Shall we go in then? We don't have the tools, and it's hard to open this iron gate. Although I was full of curiosity in this door, especially when I heard Peng Delin talk about Chen Xiongying's deeds, I was even more unbearable, and thought: "It's getting more and more lively now, and there are people here who came earlier than us?" If that's the case, this Professor Chen is terrible. I think this Professor Peng is also an academic, the most taboo in this line of inverted fighting is to be decent, this tomb didn't even allow Song Ghost Eye to enter, but Professor Chen has been here a long time ago, it's really unbelievable. ”

"There's something in there." Suddenly, Peng Delin said with a nervous expression, "It will be dangerous." ”

"What's that? The curse written on the stele? ”

"The Bloodwing Locust, it's a terrifying ancient creature."

I muttered in my heart, "Don't talk about blood-winged locusts here, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to go in and have a look." ”

"This iron gate is probably built later, in order to prevent the contents from coming out." Peng Delin said.

It took us a lot of effort to push the iron door open a small gap, and we had to lean into it. As I went inside, I sniffed my hand and said, "Phew, it stinks, what the is this?" ”

After entering, I realized that this was actually a cave, and when I looked up, there was a skylight on it. But the skylight is very high, and there are cliffs all around, so you can't go up at all, but it is possible to come in from above, which is probably the way Professor Chen came in back then. There is a passage in the cave that connects to the exit from the top of the mountain. At one end of the stone cave, there is also a large area of collapsed mountain rocks, which should have been blown up by Shen Fang and them at that time.

With a flashlight can shine on the skylight on the top of the stone cave, in fact, it is a natural vertical hole, but unfortunately we can only stare at the bottom and can't go up, I suddenly thought: "If this Professor Chen really came in from here, it is likely that he will not be able to get out, Professor Peng said that he is missing, is it ......?"

"Professor Peng's exit here is gone, or let's go find another exit, we can't just waste it inside. We didn't have dry food with us, and we don't know if Yan Yunshu and they came down, whether they can find us or not, if we continue to wander around like this, we can only wait for death. ”

Peng Delin didn't seem to pay attention to my words, as soon as he came in, the whole person was very lively, as if he had discovered a new world, he took out a small archaeological hammer from his backpack, knocked east and west in it, and suddenly, for some reason, heard him scream.

When I ran over, he was already sitting on the ground, moving his ass on the ground with a frightened expression, and said in fear: "Chen...... Chen Xiongying! He's dead......"

I looked in the direction of his finger and saw a leg on the ground with a trouser sleeve, indicating that it was undoubtedly human. It was covered with blood, mud, and stench.

"it!" I cursed.

"Professor Peng, is this really Professor Chen's leg?"

"It must be, it must be."

I couldn't help but get nervous, "Looks like there's something here?" I looked around, and suddenly he inadvertently looked up and saw countless dense black shadows hanging upside down on the tops of some low mountain walls.

"Professor Peng, look, is this a blood-winged locust?"

Peng Delin helped his eyes to observe it carefully for a long time, and then confirmed, "That's right, this is the Bloodwing Locust, they are much larger than ordinary locusts, and their habits are very strange, they will hide in dark caves, and act collectively every night to kill large livestock. Sometimes humans are also attacked. ”

They hugged each other one by one, and it could be said that every inch of the mountain wall was crowded with at least a dozen of these flying locusts, and their eyes were not yellow or green, but terrible black, which made people's scalps tingle.

Bloodwing locusts are very weird, their hind limbs are particularly developed, all the hind limbs of the locusts are hugged by the locusts behind them, and their tentacles are also extraordinarily long, which can easily catch changes in the air.

"I've seen this kind of blood-winged locust in the biological laboratory of Sichuan University, they are bloodthirsty and vicious by nature." Peng Delin said.

"In the earliest days, they lived in underground caves in the northern steppe zone, and came out at night to hunt cattle, sheep and other livestock. Later, as the cold zone moved north, these things migrated more and more south. Later, humans used this thing to become a terrifying murder weapon. ”

"It seems that these blood-winged locusts were used by these Yi ancestors to protect their nests." I said.

It may be that our movement has aroused the vigilance of the blood-winged locusts, and several blood-winged locusts have taken the lead in flying down from the stone wall, Peng Delin just wanted to escape, but he didn't expect to fall as soon as his feet were weak, and the ground was full of the feces and animal remains of the blood-winged locusts, which were smelly, sticky and slippery.

Thousands of blood-winged locusts came like a gust of wind, and this terrifying ancient creature flew in dense numbers, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, which could be regarded as strict military discipline, and when they moved, they flew overhead like a black cloud.

The blood-winged locusts swished past my body, and I didn't have time to react, and the clothes on my body were quickly bitten by them, leaving one by one holes, but fortunately they didn't burrow into the flesh, otherwise the consequences would be more dangerous.

There were so many of them that I couldn't imagine that I didn't dare to open my eyes, so I had to cover my face with my hands, and then beat my clothes out of thin air, driving away the blood-winged locusts that pounced, and ran desperately on my two legs.

I don't know how long it took, the cave gradually quieted down, thinking that those blood-winged locusts had passed, I tentatively stuck my head out from under my clothes, shone a flashlight around me, and was about to ask out loud: "Professor Peng, how are you?" ”

Suddenly, it was dark, and a huge blood-winged locust silently swooped down on the top of its head, the size of a palm, and it could hide in the deepest part of the cave, spreading its wings and biting it.

It was so close to me that I could see it clearly, and I knew it was hard to resist, and I was about to be bitten by the blood-winged locust, so I picked up my flashlight and smashed it, and the blood-winged locust fell to the ground and fluttered a few times, and died instantly.

My clothes were bitten a few times, but fortunately it wasn't serious. I let out a long breath and looked around, there was nothing else except the blood-winged locust that fell to the ground, and I was about to let my guard down, "Professor Peng, Professor Peng?" ”

Unexpectedly, I shouted Peng Delin a few times, and the cave was empty, and there was no other movement except for my own echo.

"Professor Peng?" I immediately became alert and thought, "Don't, there's something else in here?" ”

"Ah, hey, hey......" Suddenly, I heard a series of strange sounds from the depths of the cave, which sounded like a human voice, "Professor Peng?" ”

I tried to get closer and shouted, and then Peng Delin's voice became very sharp and harsh, and the cave was already narrow, which made his voice even more poignant. Peng Delin suddenly burst out of the darkness, stretched out his arm, snatched the tattered clothes I put on my shoulder, and opened his mouth to bite it.

Although the clothes were bitten by the blood-winged locusts, they were of high quality, and he couldn't bite them even if he bit them, but Peng Delin didn't care about it, like a mad dog, he stuffed the clothes into his mouth and chewed wildly.

"Nima, what kind of stimulus is this, how did you suddenly become like a mad dog!?" I was caught off guard and was stunned, I watched Peng Delin scream hysterically and muttered to myself, "Could it be a nervous breakdown?" Or is it possessed by evil spirits? ”

I quickly pulled out the clothes in his mouth, and found that Peng Delin's mouth was full of blood, I was puzzled, "How could this suddenly be like this, although the blood-winged locusts just now are dangerous, but they won't make people break down?" ”

I shook Peng Delin's shoulders again and again and shouted, "Professor Peng, be sober!" ”

No matter how much I shouted, he turned a deaf ear, waved his arms, and muttered, "Don't go out, don't go out, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!" ”

Suddenly, Peng Delin grabbed my arm tightly, "Hey, hey, mom, mom." ”

I scolded in my heart: "It's over, it's over, how can I get crazy." "I was worried that Peng Delin would go crazy like this, so I pressed Peng Delin to the ground together, and had to tie him up temporarily as a precaution.

But I was afraid of hurting him, so I didn't restrain his feet, but tied his hands so that he wouldn't bite me again.

"Oh no, this Yan Yunshu doesn't know if she can crack the Yin and Yang Gate, in case she can't find me, Lao Tzu will explain here today!" I was worried.

I began to regret my easy entry into the Yin and Yang Gate, which made me a little impetuous, and I couldn't sit still, looking at the crazy Peng Delin, I couldn't calm down, "There must be something wrong in this hole, otherwise he wouldn't be like this for no reason!" Could it be Professor Chen? ”
