The fat man groaned and shouted: "84 I heard that it is a very romantic thing for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet on the Magpie Bridge. In my opinion, this person is in mid-air, distracted. Anyone who thinks about looking down will hug him back hard. Soul!"
I looked at them, they all had lingering fears, their faces were pale, the soles of my feet were completely soft, and as soon as I fell, Fatty, Professor Yin, and the others also collapsed on the ground.
Even Long Wu, who had always been fearless, was holding on to the nearest wall. After all, walking through the gate of hell was unbearable for ordinary people. It was hard to imagine how far those people who dragged bats through the fairy cave thousands of years ago fell.
The six people fell to the ground. After about half a minute, they all moved and leaned against the wall, and then slowly stabilized.
At this time, people looked at each other in confusion, looking at each other's embarrassment. Whose face was not completely white? The fat man was well-dressed, and it seemed that every time he fought, he always looked the most miserable.
Perhaps due to his body shape, his clothes are the easiest to pull and tear. Fortunately, the warm breeze in King Qin's Immortal Cave is gentle, but it gradually soothes him.
I had a large bruise on my leg just now, and now the pain was gnawing at my heart, so I had no choice but to massage it with my hands, not paying attention to the other people's condition.
At this time, Long Wu, who had been leaning against the wall, came over. He came to my side without saying a word. He just squatted down and stretched out one arm, as if he wanted me to help him fix it.
He grabbed his arm, and with my help, his other hand made a squeaking sound. It turned out that he had picked a hook, that is, his arm was dislocated. No wonder he had been leaning against the wall just now. It turned out that he wanted to repair it quietly by himself. .
After struggling for so long, as soon as I stopped, my stomach began to growl.
Human physical energy is limited, now is the time to replenish physical energy!
Several people sat around and placed all the edible things they carried in front of them. After everyone showed their cards, they realized that Lin Qi had the most things on him.
There are three compressed biscuits, two compressed nutrition packets, an opened box of nutrition bars, and there are four bars left.
The nutritional packet is about the size of a fist. It is a semi-solid food that can quickly replenish energy. It doesn’t taste good, but...
Before I even finished the introduction, Lin Qi, who has a keen sense of smell and smell, began to slowly withdraw his hands. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was afraid of suffering a loss.
Professor Yin's glance made Lin Qi stop what he was doing. There was no need to say anything at this moment, everyone understood it tacitly.
Just after flying with the bat, Professor Yin, as the oldest member of the team, had the most obvious heart palpitations. The young man's face was already bloody, but his face was still pale. He was inhaling less and exhaling more. This was because his body was too nervous and could not function. Symptoms of recovery.
Under Professor Yin's instructions, Lin Qi finally became a cunning villain in the team.
No matter how much there is, take it all out, gather it together, and divide it equally.
I intentionally distributed easy-to-absorb food to Professor Yin. Although Professor Yin was weak at the moment, he also looked at me gratefully.
"Comrade Xiao Cao, this old man's body is half buried in the loess. After all this trouble, he finds it even more difficult to get out of this cave. Well, this is not a fairy cave. It is a happy thing to become an immortal here!"
I didn’t want to upset Professor Yin’s imagination, so I nodded in agreement and told him clearly that as the leader of the expedition, I would do my best to keep everyone safe.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that Professor Yin’s seemingly foolish words at the time would actually cause big trouble at the critical moment later! Of course, this is something for later.
We filled our bellies and moved on.
We later discovered that there were traces of the lives of the survivors, and they seemed to have disappeared recently.
The time since the present can be roughly determined based on the condition of the charcoal. However, holding the charcoal with clear lines in your hand, you have the illusion of feeling the residual warmth.
This charcoal was not left here a hundred years ago, let alone a thousand years ago.
"It seems like it was just extinguished last night!" This sentence was spoken by Professor Yin and I in unison as our eyes met.
After everyone heard this, they all breathed silently, and the temperature around them also dropped rapidly.
"How is this possible? This is impossible!"
Fatty was the first to break the silence and oppression.
Fire and water are incompatible. Even if there are mysterious creatures living here, how can they use such things as fire?
At that time, a reaction suddenly flashed in my mind: catch them quickly!
Almost everyone ejected, and I could feel the rest of the team following me.
After running a little distance, the big guy lit up all the light sources he carried.
At this time, we discovered that there were murals around us, depicting people with very painful expressions. They stretched out one arm and grabbed the thickest blood vessels on the arm with the other hand, as if they were pulling out a fishhook pierced into the flesh.
There is also a relatively clear mural about the torture of being cut in half. In fact, this torture was not abolished until Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.
It turns out that there is a way to carry out this torture. If you give gifts to the executioner in private, the position of the guillotine will be higher, because the important organs are above the waist, so the damage to the important organs will lead to death faster and the pain will be less severe.
On the contrary, it is cut below the waist. Such a person's death will be extremely painful and the process will be extremely slow.
It is said that such an official of the Yongzheng Dynasty, named Linyi, was suddenly sentenced to be cut in half and tortured. He was pulled off the sedan halfway, and the executioner used the torture on him without any preparation.
For this dying person, the executioner cannot break the rules. He will not care about the reason why you are pressed for time. If there is no gift giver, he will be given the most painful way to die. Otherwise, who will give him gifts in the future?
As a result, although the body of the tortured person was divided into two halves, he was able to support the upper half of his body with both hands, dipped in his own blood, and wrote a dozen miserable words! Later, when Emperor Yongzheng heard about this, he was also disturbed, so he issued a decree to remove such punishments.
Therefore, this Qing Dynasty official became the last person to be cut in half in feudal history.
After analysis, this hexagram of Xu Fu is the rightful owner. This hexagram does not mean that he will become the rightful owner, but that he will be opposed to the rightful owner. He gets along very happily with his colleagues, but will be repelled by the rightful owner.
Moreover, in these gruesome murals, the costumes of the victims are not characteristic of the Qin Dynasty, but more like products of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
During the reign of King Zhou, tortures such as burning with cannons, splitting chariots, and cutting in half were common, which was in line with the mural style of that era.
But there are some pictures that puzzle me. The person in the picture stretches out one arm, and the other hand grasps the thickest blood vessel on the arm. It seems that something is drilling into his blood. The character's face has a desperate and painful expression. .
I asked the fat man to think carefully about whether he had seen such strange pictures before.
At this point, the fat man can be said to have experienced hundreds of battles and has seen a lot of things. Perhaps he can recall a few things from them to solve his confusion.
Fatty said that he had never seen such a strange thing during the battle, but he had heard some rumors during his sailing experience.
Generally speaking, such things as rumors at sea are by no means groundless. Generally speaking, people would rather believe it than believe it when it comes to things at sea.
It is said that there used to be Dan people in the sea. This kind of people needed a kind of "Cordyceps" to hunt for pearls and clams. This kind of Cordyceps would penetrate into the blood vessels and achieve the miraculous effect of immortality by holding one's breath. According to the description in the legend, this kind of "Cordyceps" The appearance of "Cordyceps" is very similar to that in the mural.
While we were analyzing, we arrived at a water source. The water source here is more than ten meters in diameter. The water is dark in color and it can be seen that there is no bottom.
The most chilling thing is that there are still burning coals with residual heat around the water source.
It was as if a group of creatures had lit a fire here to keep warm before we arrived. After hearing our movements, they all dived into the water.
It's as if they encountered a sudden accident and disappeared out of thin air.
The more we looked at the deep water, the more chilled our bones became. A few of us hid in a distance to discuss, because no one could guarantee whether something would suddenly emerge from the water later. We discussed what to do next. what to do. Professor Yin's condition is obviously too much. Professor Yin wants to find some medicines to treat wounds. Speaking of medicines, Avril Lavigne probably has some.
Professor Yin lifted up his shirt and could see that the part of the clothes that had touched the flesh felt like it was being torn off. Professor Yin grimaced in pain. I walked over and saw one. There was a wound about five centimeters long, very deep, the skin and flesh had turned white, and there was no blood now.
Professor Yin couldn't tell where the wound came from, he couldn't even tell. It is not certain when he suffered the injury or when he felt the pain. He chose to suffer in silence. At this time, Avril took out the only antibiotics, otherwise infection would easily occur in this humid environment.
Lin Qi tore off some rags and used them to bandage Professor Yin's wound later. At this time, no one noticed that there was something in the pool in the distance. They slowly approached, and when the thing got into Professor Yin's wound, , we didn’t even have any reaction, although Long Wu was the first to react. But it was too late. It felt like something was drilling hard along Professor Yin's blood vessels, and what we immediately thought of was the strange Cordyceps we just discussed.
It happened suddenly, like a swarm of leeches crawling around silently. They blend into the dark night and suddenly attack, making people unexpected.
Lin Qi desperately tried to grab the tail of the strange insect, but the strange insect had completely submerged into Professor Yin's wound. Lin Qi hurriedly wanted to use a knife to cut open the wound to remove the insect.
At this moment, Long Wu suddenly swung his sword at him. Lin Qi, who was also a practitioner, felt that the evil wind was evil and dodged.
Now I could see clearly that a strange insect had crawled into Lin Qi's body, but he seemed not to have noticed it.
I shouted a reminder, and Lin Qiguo reacted quickly and immediately bent his right index finger and put it in front of his nostril.
But at this moment, Long Wu's turning knife returned, and the tip of the blade happened to pick out the strange insect.
Only then did Lin Qi realize that Long Wu wanted to save him from danger.
But the crisis is not over yet, and a bigger crisis is coming slowly.
Several strange insects have crawled on each of us. The insects are pink and white and have countless tentacles like caterpillars.
They crawl over the human body and are undetectable, which is the most amazing thing.
I pinched one that crawled onto my arm. This strange insect was more than five centimeters long. When I pinched it, it felt like dry skin. This probably meant that the insect was like an empty shell, wriggling around.
This is probably what a dried caterpillar would feel like if it were crawling around on your arm.
At the same time, I immediately understood that this special body structure is exactly the reason why it can penetrate into blood vessels!
