"Uncle, how did you get away? You are so clean."
Xiao Wu was also very curious about how the old uncle and his party escaped, but if Yue Guanchao and the others asked some questions, Wu Tuman might not tell the truth, so it was best for him to ask.
A Niu took a sip of the wine he brought to dilute the panic in his heart:
"We are considered lucky. The four of us were exhausted from the fight and had already made plans to reincarnate. Suddenly, the old man took out the bone whistle from the idol and blew it on the corpses. Just like mice seeing a cat, they all ran away.”
"later."
When A Niu said this, his tone was blabbering, and he looked at everyone: "We felt strange that this was just an ordinary bone whistle, how could it scare away the human-faced spider, so we went back to the first floor to have a look."
"The secret is in the shrine, isn't it?"
Yue Guanchao's casual question made A Niu's eyes widen like bells.
He nodded: "How do you know!"
"There was something fishy about the red leopard chair. We heard the noise and climbed up to the shrine, and saw an iron cage on the back of the chair."
"Here is a palm-sized human-faced spider. It is similar to the spiders lying on the faces of corpses, except that the shell is hard and there is a layer of fine hairs. As long as the bone whistle is moved, this spider will spray out a stream of Gas, those human-faced spiders seem to be going crazy, attacking living creatures crazily."
"Could this spider be a poison? Why can it be manipulated?"
After Yue Guanchao listened to A Niu's talk for so long, the first thing that came to his mind was the Gu insect that could be controlled by humans.
Ah Hu felt very excited when he heard what Ah Niu said, so he also chimed in. He tried his best to shake his head: "It's not a poison. The old man said it seems to be some kind of insect, or something like a mother-in-law!"
These words made everyone look at the old hunter. He had recovered his strength after resting for a while. He slowly lit the tobacco and blew out the smoke:
"Have you ever heard of the mother-in-law worm?"
"Mother-in-law worm!"
Everyone shook their heads.
The old hunter picked up his cattail leaf and said: "I also heard from my elders that in ancient times, there was a kind of insect called green clam. Once this insect lays eggs, it will take care of their eggs. When the young clams hatch out, they will follow the mother. There is a sense between insects. No matter where the mother and child are, they can find each other through the induction in the body. It is also because of this characteristic that the coins have the pattern of green clams."
He paused and said in a guessing tone: "I estimate that this spider is almost like a mother insect, and as long as the mother insect is around, the child insects can sense her."
"But the human-faced spiders we encountered were attacking living creatures. Is this their natural behavior?"
Song Siyuan thought about Wu Tuman's words and immediately realized that this statement was untenable.
The old man Wu Tuman didn't seem to understand either, and he shook his head helplessly:
"As for why they are determined to attack living creatures, I don't know, but looking at the cleverness of the puppets, it is ten percent that they were created by someone using the mechanism technique. They can cooperate with the chairs to do strange things. Maybe What strange method did they use to drive the female insect to issue orders, and everyone died, who among us knows."
"Don't underestimate the brains of our ancestors. Many of their skills have been lost. When I was a child, I saw carpentry animals that could walk on their own."
After listening to his explanation, Song Siyuan had a new guess about the shrine in Yizhuang:
"Such an exquisite insect-control mechanism, which combines mother-child insects, insect-control skills, and mechanisms, is definitely not the work of the soldiers and bandits of the Tang Dynasty. It should also be the work of the craftsmen of Wu Coffin Town. I see that Wu Coffin Town attaches great importance to sacrifices. , there may also be ancestor worship, and they are likely to train mother-in-law insects to protect the people and corpses in the village."
Her words were very fresh, and they all looked at Song Siyuan, wanting to see how she would explain next.
Song Siyuan nodded to everyone: "You still remember the barrel behind the chair. After we took the barrel, we found the puppet. Not long after we took it down, the monster corpses began to attack living creatures."
"Yes, what does this mean? Does it mean that we have been unlucky for eight lifetimes?"
Yue Guanchao could only think of this level.
She shook her head hard and her eyes flashed: "Think about it again, who put the barrel in?"
These words made everyone excited.
The barrel does not appear out of thin air, and the content inside is poison. It is clearly something used by Tang Dianrong's soldiers. When these people put the barrel, there is a high probability of encountering the shrine.
"Sister Siyuan... what you mean is that when these soldiers hid the barrel, they accidentally encountered the idol, and the mechanism that triggered the mother-child insect was accidentally parasitized by the child insect, so it appeared like what we saw!"
Song Siyuan looked at Ah Ying with admiration in her eyes. She was much smarter than Yue Guanchao, a vulgar and reckless man!
She continued to explain: "As for the pieces of cloth, rattan and yellow paper on their bodies, they should be people deliberately pretending to be ghosts, but we are in the dark and don't know who they are."
At this time, everyone knew the secret of the monster zombies attacking people. Their hearts dropped and smiles gradually appeared on their faces.
"Bang!"
Before everyone was happy for a quarter of an hour, there was a sudden loud noise outside the door. Yue Guanchao listened to the trembling sound on the ground and guessed that it was the monster coming with the sword.
Yue Guanchao drew out his scimitar and looked around: "Uncle Wu Tuman, is this wooden door strong?"
"What do you think?"
Before he finished speaking, the temple door creaked and fell apart, but in the blink of an eye, a hole was torn open.
