Tomb robber: No more pretending, I’m from the Zhang family!

Chapter 122 The Corpse King in the Elixir

Looking at the two empty eyes of the relief, Wu Laosan gradually deduced what happened.

Later, he checked a lot of information and consulted many professionals before he realized that the carvings of gods with human faces and bird bodies on the stone walls have actually appeared in myths and legends of various ethnic groups in various places, such as Yunding Tiangong. The strange bird that I saw was the same creature.

This kind of strange bird was called "" in ancient Egypt, which represents the immortal soul of human beings, while the monkey in its mouth is the brain responsible for manipulating the whole body. It is called "Kalambinga" in India. The sacred bird is sung by the Buddha's Paradise.

In China, this kind of strange bird is very famous. It is called "Jiutian Xuannv Niangniang". It is a kind of divine bird in "Shan Hai Jing". Of course, this is also undocumented.

The pebbles on the two eyes of the strange bird were taken away by someone. It is very likely that the ancestors who entered the ancient tomb did it.

It is easy to deduce it here. What puzzled him was why the ancestors only took two of the pebbles, but not all the pebbles. What are these pebbles used for?
Tufuzi don't pay attention to the rules of "one time is not enough for future generations", or "only one or two are taken", so uncles keep two, which is a big doubt.

Moreover, he also deduced that the reason why such terrible accidents happened to the ancestors was probably in this ghost place. There is no mechanism in the tomb, or the zongzi that turned into corpses and so on.

With endless doubts, he stepped forward and carefully looked at the remaining two black pebbles.

The pebbles are deeply embedded in the relief and integrated with the whole relief. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference at all. The reason why Wu Laosan noticed the difference right away is because two of them have been removed. poached away, so it appears very obtrusive.

If he hadn't paid enough attention when all four were present, he wouldn't have been able to spot it. From this, it's not hard to see that his uncles were not simple characters, at least their powers of observation were extraordinary.

If, as he speculated, there were terrible traps on the relief, what would happen if the remaining two pebbles were taken away? , To take it or not to take it, Wu Laosan hesitated.

After hesitating for a while, Wu Laosan could no longer restrain the impulse, so he decided to pry one off to have a look.

So he took out the hatchet, sharpened it on the wall a few times, then leaned up carefully, touched one of them with the tip of the knife, then inserted the knife into the gap on one side, and then pried it, only to hear "heh "With a sound, the pebble fell into the palm of his hand.

After getting the things, Wu Laosan immediately took a step back, looking around vigilantly, lest some secret mechanism suddenly activate in the back.

However, he waited for a long time, but nothing happened, and there was no change in the surroundings. The relief is still the relief, the wall is still the wall, it seems that he is suspicious.

But for the sake of caution, he waited for a while to make sure that no hidden mechanism was activated, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the black pebble in his hand.

The pebbles are nothing special, they are black and round, cold to the touch, and heavy, just like a stone.

He didn't think much about it, he put away this pebble, and then pried the other one, still the same steps, inserting the knife into the gap on one side, and then pried the pebble off.

With the experience of last time, this time I was familiar with the road, so I used more strength in my hands, and the pebble bounced out with a "pop", and the whole process was very smooth.

But what he didn't expect was that the pebble fell so fast that he couldn't react in time, and when he failed to catch it, the pebble fell to the ground with a "snap" and fell into powder at once. A cloud of black smoke floated up and filled the air. In the narrow secret passage.

Wu Laosan had a clever idea in his heart, and he thought it was bad, something was broken, and he didn't know if the smoke was poisonous, but he didn't have a gas mask at that time, so he had to cover his mouth and nose with his hands.

Even so, he was still coughed by the pungent smell, and felt that his mouth was filled with a spicy taste.

Here he seems to be suspicious. Although the smell is unpleasant, it doesn't seem to be poisonous, otherwise he would have been poisoned long ago.

Just when he was wondering, the pebbles that fell on the ground suddenly turned into a ball of bronze-colored powder. The powder moved, and then a red bug crawled out of it, curled up in a ball, and made a "squeak" sound. Cry, the good guy is still alive.

Seeing the worm, Wu Laosan's head suddenly buzzed, and he involuntarily took several steps back.

He recognized this kind of bug at a glance. It was a corpse king, the legendary red corpse king. He heard from the old man at home that this kind of bug was extremely poisonous, and it was a bug of evil spirits. Throat, it will be poisoned at the slightest touch, and then turn into a terrifying monster!

But this red corpse is said to only live in the body of the ancient corpse, and it is difficult to see it under normal circumstances. How could it be wrapped in a pebble?
The most outrageous thing is, how come the bugs wrapped in stones are still alive after a thousand years?This is too incredible.

However, he immediately realized that he didn't have time to think about it any more. He saw the little red bug on the ground turn around a few times, then flapped its wings and made a buzzing sound, as if it wanted to fly.

Although he had never seen this kind of bug before, Wu Laosan knew how powerful this kind of bug was, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he thought of taking the first step, and shot the bug to death before it even flew up. .

Thinking of this, he quickly raised the hatchet in his hand, and slapped down on the red corpse king on the ground.

But before the knife fell, he heard a series of "cluck-cluck" strange sounds, which turned out to be from the little red bug. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a flash of red light, and the bug It flew up from the ground, swished, and landed on his shoulder in an instant.

The speed of the worm was so fast that Wu Laosan had no time to hide. When he learned that the worm had landed on his shoulder, he broke out in a cold sweat, and instinctively swung the knife in his hand backwards, hitting his own on the shoulders.

The Corpse King was also taken aback by him, flapped his wings and flew to one side in an instant, and stopped on the wall on the other side.

Then the insect bulged its wings again, and kept making "cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck" sound similar to the cry of a frog. At the same time, a pungent stench was constantly emitted from its body, making the person wanting to vomit.

Wu Laosan suddenly had a headache, thinking that this thing is too fast, his mother is more difficult to deal with than blood corpses, staying here must be dead or alive, it is better to go 36 strategies, and get out as soon as possible.
