"Nani, you are so evil!" Fatty Yu was shocked, "Fortunately, I didn't take it."
"These crickets will secrete a corrosive liquid through constant death and devour nearby objects. Once an unsuspecting tomb robber touches rotten jade, or the temperature rises, he will surely die, even if he is lucky enough to escape. , will be poisoned and fester after being touched, and if not treated in time, it will quickly spread throughout the body, and eventually the whole body will fester and die from fester."
Fatty Yu asked: "What now? I don't want to die so early without catching anything!"
Suddenly he seemed to remember something again, and he rummaged around in his pocket, and then he took out a jade-like thing, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, I also have scented jade, which is immune to all poisons."
Smell-flavored jade is a substance containing spices that invades rocks, also known as golden-flavored jade. It is an indispensable weapon for touching Jin Xiaowei's tomb. It emits a rich and charming fragrance, and the drier the environment, the stronger the fragrance. It has the effect of dispelling poisonous insects and evil spirits. However, this thing has some effect on ordinary poisonous insects, but it is difficult to have any effect on evil insects like crickets.
"Fat man, you'd better put this thing away. It's okay to smell the fragrant jade and incense mosquitoes and cockroaches. But when it comes to dealing with crickets, don't talk nonsense!" I said directly, "Stay back, don't do it." Wake up Fuyu."
Huai Rujin and I looked at each other, but didn't say a word. I was actually anxious and didn't want to argue with Fatty Yu, so I said to Fatty Yu: "This thing is unsolvable in the tomb. The best way is to evacuate it quickly."
Huai Rujin nodded, "My father has been in the world for many years and has seen a lot of insect jades. Whenever you encounter insect jades, you have to exit quickly and don't stay for too long. Otherwise, the carbon dioxide content in the tomb will increase and the temperature will inevitably rise. The consequences would be disastrous.”
I turned to Huai Rujin and said, "I was surprised that this tomb had been robbed, but the inside is still very neat. It seems that the person who came in before must have opened the coffin."
Huai Rujin still didn't speak, and she must be a little anxious. I wanted to close the coffin before leaving, but I was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so I had to leave it open. The three of them took a breather after leaving the tomb. Fatty Yu wiped the big beads of sweat on his forehead, feeling anxious.
"Why is this road so long?" We walked along the tomb passage, hoping to find the robbery hole that our predecessors had broken in, but after walking for a long time, we couldn't find the end and didn't know where it would lead.
I started to wonder, "It's impossible. This is obviously the way out. There is no other exit besides this. Both ends are closed. Could it be possible that we have entered another ghost girl's hole?"
"Why do I think it's so spooky here?" Fatty Yu trembled.
"Don't scare yourself."
"It would be terrible if something disturbs Fuyu again." I thought to myself, "Although there is no dirty thing in this tomb passage, it is really not peaceful. Otherwise, who would have come in to fight at that time?" Why don’t you go back the way you came?”
After walking for a while, I finally saw the end of the tomb passage. There was a stone door in front of it, just like the entrance to an air raid shelter. As soon as I entered the room, I realized that it seemed to be a Buddhist cave, which was filled with seated Buddhist statues. In the middle was Vairocana Buddha, with yellow, red, black and white Buddhas on both sides, collectively called the Five Buddhas. The five Buddhas look like kites with shoulders and jackal eyes, which is extremely terrifying. There is also a coffin placed under the pedestal of the Buddha statue.
Huai Rujin and I looked around, and finally walked to the coffin in unison.
"Why is there a Buddha statue in this tomb?" Fatty Yu asked in confusion.
"What's the point?" I said, "Maybe he believes in Buddhism?"
"Yeah, look, there's another coffin here?" Fatty Yu pointed at the coffin and said, "I wonder who is inside this?" This was the first time Fatty Yu saw a coffin placed in a Buddhist hall, and people gathered around it. He walked around twice and said, "Would you like to check in?"
I thought about it and judged: "In my opinion, this should be an empty coffin. The owner of the tomb may have believed in Buddhism during his lifetime. With such a Buddhist temple here, he can come and pay homage every day with the coffin in place."
Fatty Yu moved closer to the gap in the coffin lid, shined a light on it, and said, "But there seems to be something really inside!"
"Don't talk nonsense." I walked over and took a look, and saw a black shadow lying in the coffin. "This is really evil!" I looked at Huai Rujin in confusion, "Miss Huai, you What do you mean by this?"
"I can't tell, I haven't seen it either." Huai Rujin shook his head.
Fatty Yu blew hard to blow away the dust on the coffin lid, and said with a smile: "Whatever it is, you'll know after you open it and take a look!"
I felt a little strange, shook my head and said: "Something's wrong, fat man, stop it!"
Fatty Yu suddenly screamed like this, and I was startled. Just when he was about to curse, he suddenly felt a cold feeling on his hands. He looked down and saw that the coffin lid had opened by itself without knowing when, and a withered hand slipped through the gap. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Fatty Yu's wrist.
Fatty Yu was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, took a few steps back, sat down, dropped the flashlight, and rolled out. At this time, Fatty Yu was lying on the ground and saw a cave under the rock wall of the Buddhist cave. He shouted: "Run, there is a hole here!"
Before Huai Rujin and I could react, a figure jumped out of the coffin. After a closer look, we realized that the figure turned out to be Gu Aba, but he was completely unrecognizable, with half of his face and flesh torn off.
It is impossible for a normal person to still be alive.
I immediately became alert and said, "Damn, that's not good!"
"Let's go quickly." Huai Rujin urged, "It's not a good place to stay for a long time, and it's not a good time to take action!"
"You're right." I decisively gave up fighting with it and immediately informed Fatty Yu to get in first, and then we both got out. But then I heard a ghostly cry from the front of the cave, like a human cry, "Fat man, what's going on ahead?"
Fatty Yu didn't know what was going on, so he just kept crawling forward. Finally he climbed out of the ground. He planned to relax and stretch his muscles, but he didn't expect that he regretted it in the blink of an eye when he saw the sun outside and wanted to get back in again.
"What are you doing!" I saw Fatty Yu getting back in and kicked him out.
"Li Rui!" Fatty Yu hugged me in fear and trembled, "Scared me to death, scared me to death."
"Damn, I've seen the bright sunshine, you're so scared." I said indifferently, looked up with a smile, and the muscles on my face suddenly froze.
"Oh my God!" I was shocked.
Huai Rujin also got out and took a breath of cold air involuntarily, "Corpse Forest!?"
All he saw was a valley in front of him, in which were trees growing out of corpses. Corpses stood there with different expressions and postures, and the branches and leaves on the top were swaying in the wind.
The weirdness of those corpse trees is enough to scare people into fainting. Corpse trees grow on corpses, just like Cordyceps sinensis. The corpses stood upright on the ground. All the corpses, male and female, were naked. The back of the head and the Tianling Cap completely disappeared. The tree trunks grew from there, so the thickness of the tree trunks was as usual the same size as the head.
The corpse tree can grow very high, up to ten meters high, but it seems to be supported only by its feet. In fact, the entire corpse has been occupied by tree roots. There are some very small but very long roots on the soles of the corpse's feet. It has to be drilled into the ground, which makes the corpse tree look top-heavy but still standing.
There are almost hundreds of corpse trees in the entire corpse forest. The bases of these corpse trees have become lignified, and their skin is almost brown-green, dry and rough. There is even a bark-like texture on them and they are covered with moss. Judging from the year, it is at least a hundred years old. Since the corpse and the corpse tree have been deeply integrated, the corpse tree will absorb the original blood and other moisture of the corpse, and the moisture that maintains the outline of the corpse will be provided by the root system of the corpse tree. Therefore, most of the organs on the corpse will dry up and fall off, especially The whole eyeball fell out and hung by the nose.
For some of the female corpses, the breasts will continuously absorb water and form two water reservoirs. When full of water, the entire body will appear translucent to the eye, and sometimes green fluorescence can be seen. That may be the phenomenon of photosynthesis of parasitic plants or fungi.
As soon as I saw this forest of corpses, I knew that the road ahead would be difficult and dangerous, but there was no way out now. "Go through?" I turned around and discussed with Huai Rujin, "It seems that if we don't go back, we have to go through." It’s over!”
"Wait a minute, what do you mean? What do you mean by breaking through? Is it dangerous?"
"Nonsense, this is the corpse forest. Haven't you seen these corpses? We all died here."
"Ah?" Fatty Yu's eyes widened, "You said they were all killed by these trees?"
I'm not sure how the Corpse Forest came about, I just know that the people who die in the Corpse Forest will eventually turn into Corpse Trees. Once upon a time, a banished and demoted official took his family through a forest. In the end, the whole family died tragically. When people found them, a forest of corpses appeared there.
"Fat Master, I'm just trying to touch Colonel Jin. I'm not scared. No matter how scary it is, isn't it just a tree? How can you do anything to me?"
As soon as we entered the corpse forest, the sound of wind in the forest slowly hit our ears, making people feel confused. Those corpse trees were so terrifying that Fatty Yu's legs naturally trembled when he saw them. I didn't walk long before I noticed something was wrong. These corpse trees seemed to be constantly moving, but when I looked back, there was no movement.
"Everyone, be careful!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a dark wind suddenly passed by, and a corpse tree suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. I was suddenly frightened and stepped back quickly. Who knew that when he stepped back, there was also a tree blocking his back? provided my escape route. Only then did I realize that the legs of these corpse trees were flexible and could move quickly with almost no sound.
Not only me, Huai Rujin and Fatty Yu were attacked at the same time. Huai Rujin's skills were better. He jumped up in the air, placed his feet horizontally between two trees, and held up the two trees with a standard horse. However, the corpse trees on the other two sides immediately came over, and Huai Rujin had to climb up the mountain wall.
Fatty Yu climbed up from the ground. His body was covered with the roots of the corpse tree. His face was distorted with fear. He was panting, his eyes were red, and he almost cried.
I finally escaped from it and continued to rush forward. Unexpectedly, I suddenly tripped and one leg stretched out sideways. Before I had time to dodge, a branch came through like lightning and hit my neck. I ducked my head to avoid it, but was hit by another branch behind me and fell to the ground on the spot.
