"Look there is a stone tablet here."
"Oh?" I looked in surprise and saw a stone tablet on the ground the size of a stone bench, with a wild boar-like pattern engraved on it. It looked like it should be a totem, and there were some strange words underneath the totem.
I could tell at a glance that these words were exactly the same as what I saw in the tomb of Tizuo last time, "Is this Yi script?!"
Peng Delin nodded, "Yes, this is ancient Yi script. Even now, I still can't fully understand its interpretation." He pointed at the words on the stone tablet and read it again. I just felt that the pronunciation was strange. Talking to Ah San Quite like, said to me, "Do you know what this means?"
"I don't understand. How can I understand?" I shook my head.
"I only have a rough understanding. It should be an ancient curse engraved on it."
"It probably means that whoever goes in will definitely die a good death." I said.
"No, no." Peng Delin's face looked a little strange, even fearful. He trembled and said, "I have seen these words in my junior brother's research notes. Could it be that Said he had been here before?"
"Your junior brother?" I asked in surprise.
"Chen Xiongying, if he hadn't disappeared later, he would be a well-known figure in the archaeological community by now."
Chen Xiongying once taught at Sichuan University with Peng Delin. He was kind and kind, knowledgeable, obsessively inspecting cultural relics and historic sites, and a workaholic with a strong spirit of research. He was once highly regarded by the academic community, and was as famous as Ye Heping, and was called "South Chen Bei Ye". ".
"Then let's go in? We don't have tools. It's really hard to open this iron gate." Although I was full of curiosity in this door, especially when Peng Delin talked about Chen Xiongying's deeds, I couldn't bear it, thinking. : "It's getting more and more lively now. Are there people here who came earlier than us? If that's true, Professor Chen is really awesome. I think Professor Peng is just an academic, but The most taboo thing in the fighting industry is to be in compliance with the rules. Not even Song Guiyan could enter this tomb, but Professor Chen has been here long ago. It's really incredible."
"There is something in here." Suddenly, Peng Delin said nervously, "It will be very dangerous."
"What is it? The curse written on the stone tablet?"
"The Bloodwing Locust, this is a terrifying ancient creature."
I muttered in my heart, "Not to mention there are blood-winged locusts here, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to go in and take a look."
"This iron gate was probably built later to prevent the contents inside from coming out," Peng Delin said.
It took all of our strength to push the iron door open to a small gap, and we could only lean in sideways. When I walked in, I smelled my hand and said, "Bah, it stinks so much. What the hell is this?"
After entering, I discovered that this was actually a cave. When I looked up, there was a skylight above. However, the skylight is very high and surrounded by cliffs. It is impossible to go up. However, it is possible to enter from above. This is probably the way Professor Chen entered back then. There is a passage in the cave that connects to the exit at the top of the mountain. There is also a large piece of collapsed rock at one end of the cave, which must have been blown up by Shen Fang and the others at that time.
You can use a flashlight to shine through the skylight on the top of the cave. It is actually a natural vertical hole. Unfortunately, we can only stare down and cannot go up. I suddenly thought: "If Professor Chen really came in from here, he would probably He couldn't get out. Professor Peng said he was missing. Could it be..."
"Professor Peng's exit is gone. We should go and find another exit. We can't just waste our time in there. We don't have any dry food with us, and I don't know if Yan Yunshu and the others have come down, or whether they can find it. If we continue wandering around like this, we will have no choice but to wait for death."
Peng Delin didn't seem to pay attention to my words. As soon as he came in, he was particularly lively, as if he had discovered a new world. He took out a small archaeological hammer from his backpack and started tapping here and there. Suddenly, I don't know what happened, but I heard him yell.
When I ran over, he was already sitting on the ground, moving his buttocks on the ground with a frightened expression, and said in horror: "Chen...Chen Xiongying! He is dead..."
I looked in the direction of his finger and saw a leg on the ground, wearing trousers, which showed that it was undoubtedly human. It was covered with blood and mud, and the stench was overwhelming.
"Fuck!" I cursed secretly.
"Professor Peng, is this really Professor Chen's leg?"
"It must be, it must be."
I couldn't help but become nervous, "It seems there is something really here?" I looked around, and suddenly he accidentally looked up and saw countless dense black shadows hanging upside down from the top of some low mountain walls.
"Professor Peng, look quickly, is this a Bloodwing Locust?"
Peng Delin helped his eyes and observed carefully for a long time, and then confirmed, "Yes, these are blood-winged locusts. Their size is much larger than ordinary locusts, and their habits are very weird. They will hide in dark caves, and they will hide in dark caves every time they arrive. They act in groups at night and specialize in killing large livestock. Sometimes they also attack humans."
They hugged each other one by one. It can be said that every inch of the mountain wall was crowded with at least a dozen of these migratory locusts. Moreover, their eyes were not yellow or green, but terrifying black, which made one's scalp numb. .
Bloodwing migratory locusts are very weird, with particularly developed hind limbs. The hind limbs of all migratory locusts are hugged tightly by the locusts behind them. Their tentacles are also exceptionally long and can easily capture changes in the air.
"I have seen this kind of blood-winged locust in the biology laboratory of Sichuan University. They are bloodthirsty and vicious by nature," Peng Delin said.
"At the earliest, they lived in underground caves in the northern grasslands, coming 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 also used these animals to Things turn into horrific killing weapons."
"It seems that these Bloodwing Locusts were used by the ancestors of the Yi people to protect their nests." I said.
It may be that our movements alerted the Blood-Winged Locusts. Several Blood-Winged Locusts had already taken the lead and flew down from the stone wall. Peng Delin was just about to escape, but unexpectedly his feet gave way and he fell. The ground was covered with blood. The feces and animal remains of the migratory locust are smelly, sticky and slippery.
Thousands of blood-winged migratory locusts came like a violent wind. These terrifying ancient creatures flew densely and cooperated with each other tacitly. They were considered to be of strict military discipline. They acted like a black cloud and suddenly disappeared from sight. Flying overhead.
The blood-winged locusts swished past my body, and I didn't have time to react. The clothes on my body were bitten by them quickly, leaving gashes one by one. Fortunately, they did not drill into the flesh, otherwise the consequences would be more dangerous.
There were so many of them that it was unimaginable. I didn't dare to open my eyes, so I had to protect my face with my hands, and then I took off my dangerous clothes and beat them in the air to drive away the blood-winged locusts. I ran as fast as I could with my legs.
I don’t know how long it took, but the cave gradually became quiet. I thought those Bloodwing Locusts had passed by. I tentatively stuck out my head from under my clothes and looked around with a flashlight. I was about to ask: "Professor Peng, How are you?"
Suddenly everything went dark, and a huge blood-winged locust swooped toward the top of the head silently. It was as big as a hand. It might be hidden in the deepest part of the cave. It spread its wings and bit.
It was so close to me that I could see it clearly. I knew it was hard to resist, and I was about to be bitten by the blood-winged locust. In desperation, I picked up my flashlight and struck it, and the blood-winged locust fell to the ground. After a few flutters, he died immediately.
My clothes got a few bites, but luckily it wasn't serious. I took a long breath and looked around. Except for the Blood-winged Locust that fell to the ground, there was nothing else. I was about to relax my guard, "Professor Peng, Professor Peng?"
Unexpectedly, I called Peng Delin a few times, but the cave was empty. There was no other sound except my own echo.
"Professor Peng?" I immediately became alert and thought, "Damn it, is there something else in here?"
"Ah, hey hey, hey hey hey..." Suddenly, I heard a string of strange sounds coming from deep inside the cave, which sounded like human voices, "Professor Peng?"
I tried to get closer and shouted, and then Peng Delin's voice became very sharp and harsh. The cave was already narrow, which made his voice even more shrill and shrill. Unexpectedly, Peng Delin suddenly jumped out of the darkness, stretched out his arm, grabbed the tattered clothes I put on my shoulders, and opened his mouth to bite it.
Although the clothes were bitten by the Bloodwing Locusts, they were of high quality. He couldn't bite them, but Peng Delin ignored them. Like a mad dog, he kept stuffing the clothes into his mouth and chewing them. .
"Nima, what stimulation did you get? Why did you suddenly become like a mad dog!?" I was caught off guard and froze at that time. I looked at Peng Delin shouting hysterically and muttered to myself: "Is it because of nerves? Collapse? Or is it possessed by an evil spirit?"
I quickly pulled the clothes out of his mouth and found that Peng Delin's mouth was full of blood. I was puzzled, "Why did this happen suddenly? Although the Bloodwing Locust just now was dangerous, it didn't cause a mental breakdown, right?"
I shook Peng Delin's shoulders repeatedly and shouted: "Professor Peng, please wake up!"
Unexpectedly, no matter how I shouted, he turned a deaf ear, waving his arms and muttering: "Don't go out, don't go out, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!"
Suddenly, Peng Delin grabbed my arm tightly and said, "Hey, hey, hey, mom, mom."
I cursed in my heart: "It's over, it's over now, how can I get mad?" I was worried that Peng Delin would continue to be crazy, so I pushed Peng Delin to the ground together, and as a precaution, I had to tie him up temporarily.
But I was afraid of hurting him, so I didn't restrain his feet, I just tied his hands to prevent him from biting me again.
"Oops, Yan Yunshu doesn't know if she can crack the Yin-Yang Gate. If she can't find me, I will tell you here today!" I worried in my heart.
I began to regret that I had entered the Yin-Yang Gate so easily, which made me a little restless and restless. Looking at the crazy Peng Delin, I couldn't calm down, "There must be something wrong in this cave, otherwise he wouldn't be able to calm down." It’s like this for no reason! Could it be Professor Chen?”
