Seeing this, Yue Guanchao had no choice but to follow Song Siyuan and wait in place. Seeing that they didn't know what they were doing, several people in the distance gradually picked up torches and came closer.
After about a cup of tea, the color of the insect gradually changed from transparent to translucent black step by step. Then, the back trembled, and two pairs of transparent wings stretched out from the back, and at the same time the back was completely torn open.
At this moment, the white insect reveals its narrow waist, and is very close to the shape of a bee. However, its wings are larger and more transparent than that of a bee. When it flashes, you can see that the fine hairs gradually turn black. However, between breathing, you can see that the insect's body has completely turned black, forming an ink-like color. Nice outer fuzz.
"Why does this thing look so similar to the flying insects in the gray fog?"
When everyone walked across the Dragon Bone Bridge, they also saw the form of flying insects up close. Except that the flying insects were the size of a small fingernail, the similarity between the two was very close.
"What does this look like? It's clearly a flying insect, but the larval flying insects are smaller."
When Song Siyuan spoke, the wings of the flying insect changed from a soft and lying state to completely strong, and flapped its wings upwards. When the figure was out of sight, it seemed that it had already merged into the insect swarm.
"Look, the eggs of these insects have also broken out on the river surface."
On the black water river, countless insect eggs gradually broke out of their shells, and white insects floated all over the river like mayflies, swimming towards the bank. The number was so high and the density was so high, it was like there were white silk sheets several meters wide surrounding the river bank. The chrysalis was in a turbulent state, and everyone's throats were rolling in disgust!
Everyone saw the white insects spreading their wings, turning black and flying into the insect swarm, and they just wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible!
"Everyone, it seems that the Black Water Styx is fake and the hatching of insect eggs is real. Let's not scare ourselves."
Song Siyuan watched the whole process from the eggs breaking out of their shells to the white insects turning black, and then she was sure that these eggs were all the larvae of the insect swarm. The doubts about Evil Luo Minghai gradually faded in her heart, and she even became more relaxed when she spoke.
No matter how weird the insect swarm is, it is a species in nature and can still be explained by materialism. It is easier to accept than a soul turning into black water.
She looked at everyone and explained in an excited tone: "The fact that these stone platforms can stand here shows that the ancestors of ancient Chu may have known the secret of Black Water. They knew the truth and still promoted Black Water as the Sea of Souls. This shows that there are indeed obstacles. It means people explore the secrets.”
"Mei Yao, if the Black Water was discovered by the ancestors of ancient Chu, could the gray mist in the Soul Palace have been born at that time?"
Ren Peacock thought of the soul mist they had seen. He was able to guard the Black River but was afraid of human oil. It was obvious that he had been trained.
Song Siyuan carefully considered Ren Kongque's question and said with serious eyes: "This is not necessarily true. The habits of flying insects we saw were probably changed by the Li and Tang people. They raised flying insects based on the pre-Chu culture. Given the mysterious soul mist we see now, it is very likely that during the ancient Chu ancestors’ time, flying insects were just flying insects in the underground river.”
She paused and continued in a mysterious tone: "If there was a mysterious soul mist back then, the ancestors of ancient Chu would have mentioned the soul mist a long time ago because of this place of myth. The legend only mentioned Tubo, Black Sea, There is no record of gray mist in Youdu, so we can only guess that these technologies did not exist at that time.”
"all in all!"
Song Siyuan decided to put a final conclusion on the formation of flying insects: "When Li Tang occupied Wanyanku Mountain, he probably used the ancient Gu technique to transform the biogeographic environment to ensure that the Soul Palace would not be discovered by tomb robbers. This The idea of artificially creating miracles to persuade people to return to mortal life should be combined with the ideas of the ancient Chu ancestors."
After speaking, a strange look flashed in her eyes: "This also means that when Li and Yuan built the Soul Palace, the palace of the ancient Chu people may not have been demolished yet. They were able to rely on the ancient Chu culture to continue the myth of the Soul Palace and achieve Protect the purpose of Cave Mountain.”
"But where are those ancient Chu buildings now?"
Her words aroused endless imagination. Xu Xiake looked at the stone platform and guessed: "Except for the stone platform that cannot be demolished, it is estimated that everything that can be demolished has been demolished. The Tang people were able to build a lot of construction in the cave, which shows how mature their construction skills are. Ancient Chu Even if the palaces of the Tang Dynasty are preserved to this day, they are still inferior to the palaces of the Tang Dynasty. They were either bulldozed and filled with earth, or they are still located deep in the river."
"Brother Xu is right. We need to be careful this time. There are likely to be relics of ancient Chu ancestors in Li Tang's buildings. This is probably a tomb within a tomb."
Before Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Qingshan frowned. He wanted to take a sip from his pipe, but he was afraid of the reaction caused by the smoke, so he suppressed his craving for cigarettes and sighed: "You young people, just walk inward, a soul palace is already dangerous enough. , it will be even more difficult to find a tomb within a tomb. If my daughter’s guess is true, do you know whether the things imprisoned by the ancestors of ancient Chu were released or where they went? "
"My elders were right. The ancestors of ancient Chu didn't know what it was, so it was very difficult to deal with it."
Although the words of Uncle Yue Er and Ren Kongque were well-intentioned, they undoubtedly put a huge weight on everyone's gloomy hearts. After everyone walked up the cliff, they still couldn't figure out what was hidden in the Guchu Palace.
It is better to keep their feet on the ground than to think wildly. They used the stone platform and pallets to walk deeper into the river along the mouth of the trumpet.
