The years of reselling the haunted house

Qu Kangcheng struggled to crawl out. When I picked him up, I realized that there was also a sarcophagus where we came out.

It is one of the nine sarcophagi connected to it with chains around Jiulongding.

I also understood that the stone slab that slid to one side was the bottom of the sarcophagus.The top layer of stone slabs is the lid of the sarcophagus.

I never imagined that the entrance and exit connected to the interior of the Nine Dragon Cauldron would be in this sarcophagus.

In the Nine Dragon Cauldron, the ancient corpse has nine orifices, which are connected to the nine-hole secret door on the wall.The nine-hole secret door on the wall should be connected to the nine sarcophagi.

It's just that among the nine-hole secret doors, there may be more ambushes and false passages.Just like the secret door that released the arrow.If you go the wrong way, you will attract all arrows.

Of course, it doesn't have to be just a mechanism like All Arrows, it may also be plotted by some other organs.I still clearly remember that so many fire silkworms crawled out of the sarcophagus at that time.We climbed the Jiulongding because we avoided the fire silkworms.

If you go the wrong way, you may climb directly into the sarcophagus full of fire silkworms.At that time, the death may be worse than ten thousand arrows piercing the body.

And the sarcophagus beside us may be the only safe path.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to guess that Meng Daqing should have hidden in this sarcophagus first to avoid something.It turned out that the bottom of the sarcophagus could slide.So he followed the passage under the sarcophagus to the passage of the tripod feet, climbed up the stone ladder, and came to the inside of the Jiulongding from the secret door.It is also the place where the sarcophagus of the descendants of the royal family is stored.

After that, the three of us came one after another.That's what happened next.

When Meng Daqing broke an arm and we were fighting against the ancient corpse, he took the opportunity to come back from the same way.

It's just that now when we look up, there is no sign of Meng Daqing in the surroundings.

And I took a closer look, and those fire silkworms that we had chased after us had nowhere to go, no trace of them.They come in like a tide and disappear miraculously.

As for the sarcophagi that came out of the fire silkworms, the lids of the sarcophagi were tightly closed at this time, and it was unknown what was going on inside.Here, we didn't dare to show our air, for fear of alarming those fire silkworms again.

We don't want to have to go back to such a thrilling escape trip.

I glanced at the passage we came from. At this moment, I just want to get out of here as soon as possible.

I gestured to Liang Yue and Qu Kangcheng, we didn't stay any longer, we left this space gently, and walked back along that passage.

I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until I walked more than 30 meters away.

When Qu Kangcheng walked over, he frequently looked back.

Liang Yue smiled and asked: "What? Old Qu, you haven't played enough, do you want to go back and play?"

Qu Kangcheng sighed helplessly: "What are you playing for? I just sigh with emotion. After we leave such a shocking Nine Dragon Cauldron, I don't know if we can see it again. And the nine sarcophagi, I have seen the Ding Wen , it was also mentioned in Dingwen."

I was taken aback: "Old Qu, you mean, in the "Nine Dragon Cauldron", there was also mention of the nine sarcophagi connected to the Nine Dragon Cauldron?"

Qu Kangcheng nodded: "That's right. According to Ding Wenli's introduction, there shouldn't be that kind of fire silkworms in the nine sarcophagi, but there should be people in each of the sarcophagi."

"Since it's a coffin, there must be a corpse inside. But why are those coffins either full of fire silkworms or empty?" I asked.

Qu Kangcheng shook his head: "I don't know about that. But Dingwen said that the people who sleep in the nine sarcophagi have a unified title, called "Nine Dragon Guards."

"Nine Dragon Guards? Are they protecting the Nine Dragon Cauldron?" I asked in surprise.

Liang Yue said: "It may also be to protect the descendants of the royal family in the Nine Dragon Cauldron. After all, he is a royal family, so he should be equipped with guards."

Qu Kangcheng said: "Ding Wenli didn't say what the Nine Dragon Guards were protecting. It just said that the Nine Dragon Guards were first-class masters before."

I questioned: "Since the sarcophagus contains the body of the Nine Dragon guards, at least the sarcophagus we came out of is empty now. And I suspect that the other sarcophagi should also be empty."

We talked about what happened as we walked down the passage.

At this moment, Liang Yue suddenly let out an ah.

I was taken aback, thinking she was in some trouble again, so I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Liang Yue?"

But Liang Yue waved his hand: "It's okay, I just remembered something. Do you remember, when we first came in, we met a group of people. They walked out of the underground palace, and after looking around, there was another person You found Meng Daqing. You ran down to distract him."

I nodded: "That's right. It was because of that time that we separated from Ma Di and the others. Ah, you mean, the zombies in that team are the Kowloon guards?"

Qu Kangcheng also recalled it for a while, and said: "That group of people seems to be really dressed as Qing Dynasty guards. It's almost the same, which means that they should have been lying in this sarcophagus in the first place."

Liang Yue asked puzzledly: "That's strange, they are already dead, why did they run out again?"

I smiled: "Don't ask, they are zombies, it's normal to run out of the coffin. In addition, this underground palace has existed for more than 200 years, and there is such a structure inside, plus the builder's mind, and the surrounding area. The feng shui of the area seems to make it understandable for any strange things to happen here."

My answer is not the answer, but it is the most appropriate answer.Let's not bother with these strange things anymore, and continue to walk along this passage.

We don't know what we will encounter when we go out, but we can't find a way out at Jiulongding, so we can only go back.

Soon we came near the secret door when we came.It's just that the door hasn't been opened yet.

Because we know that the secret door is automatically opened and closed every once in a while, so we are not in a hurry.They simply sat down and rested, while waiting for the door to open again.During this period of time, we have spent a lot of mental and physical energy, and we are all exhausted at this time.

Qu Kangcheng sat on the ground, still coughing non-stop.

Chapter 1072 Old Qu's Illness

Due to the rush on the road just now, Lao Qu's physical strength has also been exhausted, and this time the cough seems to be worse than before.

Seeing this, Liang Yue hurried over to help Lao Qu pat his back.

Lao Qu coughed and thanked Liang Yue.

"Old Qu, have you seen a doctor for this disease?" I frowned, took off the water bag we carried with me, and handed it to Lao Qu.

Qu Kangcheng clutched his chest, and after taking a few sips of water from the water bag, his cough finally stopped being so intense.

He shook his head: "What kind of doctor are you seeing? I'm sick... cough cough..."

Before he could say a few words after receiving his words, he coughed again, and this time it was even more violent than before, and finally coughed up a mouthful of bloody foam.

Liang Yue and I were shocked, this is not as simple as coughing.

Qu Kangcheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale. Seeing the panicked look of the two of us, he quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, I guess it might be because we went down to the underground palace. The yin energy here is too heavy, and the yin and cold enter the body. It's nothing. event."

"Old Qu, you're vomiting blood, is there anything serious? Your body is important, or should I send you out of here first?" I said worriedly.

Qu Kangcheng was taken aback, and waved his hand firmly: "No, I won't go out."

Liang Yue asked: "Old Qu, did you take any medicine with you, take some medicine."

Qu Kangcheng shook his head: "The medicine is useless. I know my illness...unless...forget it..."

As soon as I heard it, Qu Kangcheng hesitated to speak, as if he swallowed what he wanted to say.

I followed up and asked: "Old Qu, we have lived and died together, if you have anything to say, please tell us, is there a way to cure your illness. If there is, Liang Yue and I will help you when we get out."

Qu Kangcheng took a look at Liang Yue and me, and nodded: "You two are good boys. My old Qu has a weird personality, and I don't usually have many friends. This time I can get to know you two, and my old Qu is worth it after I die. Sickness, it means being in the wild in the mountains all the year round, and sometimes going down to drill caves, or even go to ancient tombs. The cold and cold enter the body all the year round, hurting the internal organs. As far as I know, there is no specific medicine in the world to treat my condition. This kind of disease, unless I find something that can slowly get rid of the cold poison in my body..."

"What?" Liang Yue and I asked at the same time.

Qu Kangcheng smiled: "Things in the world are really strange sometimes. Even if you travel thousands of mountains and rivers, you may not be able to see them. When you gave up hope, they appeared in front of your eyes inadvertently." .Maybe it's my old life that shouldn't die, maybe God only let me see hope. This thing...appeared in this underground palace, and you have already seen it..."

"Have we met?" I thought about Qu Kangcheng's words, and quickly ran through my mind.

"Could it be a fire silkworm?" I asked in surprise.

Qu Kangcheng nodded: "That's right. Creatures like fire silkworms are extremely rare in the world. Because they do not survive through normal biological reproduction. But fire silkworms are a rare medicinal material. It can eliminate cold poison in the body, although I haven't tried it, but judging from my years of experience, fire silkworms can treat my disease."

"Old Qu, why didn't you say it earlier? We were once besieged by those fire silkworms, and we could have caught a few of them and used them as medicine for you." I regretted it a bit, and blamed Qu Kangcheng for not telling the story earlier.

Qu Kangcheng smiled wryly and said, "The situation was critical at the time, so I didn't think much about it. Besides, I just realized that those fire silkworms might be able to cure diseases. Do you know how those fire silkworms were produced?"

"You just said that they are not reproduced through normal organisms. How did they come out? Also through biological mutation?" I asked.

I wandered around with my third uncle, and saw many strange creatures, including animals and plants.I know that the world is big, and different environments and conditions often create some special creatures.

The fire silkworm that Qu Kangcheng mentioned is a creature that I have never heard of before, let alone seen.Since it is not through reproduction, it is likely to be a mutation.

Sure enough, Qu Kangcheng nodded: "Almost. Li Yang, you are a Taoist, have you heard of the profession of Gu Master?"

"Gu masters? Those who play Gu insects and poison? Of course I've heard of it, but I haven't had close contact with them."

Qu Kangcheng said: "That's right. Our location used to be the craziest place to play Gu. It's just that the times have changed, and some things have gradually been lost. At that time, in remote mountain villages far away from the city, almost every village had a The great Gu master is here. The great Gu master represents the highest level of Gu skills in the village."

After listening to Qu Kangcheng's words, I understood a little bit, so I said, "Old Qu, do you mean that those fire silkworms are a kind of Gu insect?"

Qu Kangcheng said: "I'm not sure if it's a Gu worm, but some of its cultivation methods are very similar to the cultivation methods of Gu worms."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yue asked, "Old Qu, I didn't expect you to know Gu skills? Are you so knowledgeable?"

Qu Kangcheng smiled wryly and said, "Where did you go? I'm a lousy old man who studies knowledge, how can I know any Gu skills?"

Liang Yue asked: "Then what did you say about the cultivation method? How can you know the cultivation method if you don't know Gu skills?"

Qu Kangcheng pointed to Liang Yue and said, "You say you are a young man, not as good as an old man who is about to die. I don't know any Gu skills, but I can check it. Now that the Internet is more and more developed, you go Just look up the information and you will know how the Gu worms are bred, and you can find a lot of them. But I know that the cultivation of more advanced Gu worms is not so simple, and the things you can find are the most elementary .And I only know these superficial things.”

Liang Yue questioned: "Then Lao Qu, don't you study history? Why are you interested in this kind of fire silkworm?"

Qu Kangcheng sighed, and said: "Isn't it my illness? Then once, when I went deep into the border of Yunnan, I met an old man. The old man was a Gu master before, and then retired to the deep mountains. I I hit it off very well with him. He found out that I had cold poison, so he told me that fire silkworms might cure my disease. But he only knew the method of breeding fire silkworms, but he had never cultivated them. He told me the cultivation methods , but I was not allowed to try it myself, because this method sounds easy, but it is difficult to operate, and there will be many dangers, and there will be many changes in it, and non-savvy Gu masters cannot deal with it. After I leave there, I will check I learned a lot about Gu worms, and found that it is too profound, and I really can't cultivate it by myself with my ability. This matter has been left like this, and I didn't expect to meet this kind of fire silkworm in my lifetime. "

Chapter 1073

I nodded: "Then tell us how you got the fire silkworm out. Maybe I have mastered its habits, and I won't be so embarrassed when I meet them again."

In fact, I have long wanted to ask Lao Qu about those fire silkworms.It's just that those fire silkworms retreated later, and we went to the Nine Dragon Cauldron again, and I didn't have time to spare.Now, taking advantage of the fact that the door has not been opened, and the fact that Lao Qu's illness aroused this topic, he continued to ask.

Qu Kangcheng continued: "We know that the silkworm itself is a kind of docile creature. The famous saying that the spring silkworm will die until it dies has been widely spread, and the silkworm has become synonymous with dedication. Therefore, the silkworm has no attack power. , but after being nurtured by a Gu master, a very aggressive silkworm will be bred."

It can be heard that Qu Kangcheng is eloquent about the knowledge about fire silkworms, which shows that he has really put in a lot of effort.But I also understand that Gu art cannot be practiced in a day, nor can one become a Gu master after understanding the cultivation method.But I am very interested in how to breed fire silkworms.

Qu Kangcheng also told us what he knew about the breeding methods of fire silkworms.

First of all, you need to raise a brood of extremely poisonous poisonous insects, which is the prerequisite for breeding any Gu insects.

These poisonous insects are not limited to a certain type. For example, for the cultivation of poisonous silkworms, there are mainly two types: scorpions and centipedes.

At least thousands of scorpions and centipedes must be found. These poisonous insects must be put into clay pots and buried in a mass grave.After seven to seven 49 days, take out the urn, and the one that can survive in the urn is the Gu worm mother body.

This process will fail in all likelihood, because no matter how poisonous the insects are, they will almost all die after being buried in the ground for so many days.But there are exceptions, there will be those unique pets with strong adaptability to the environment that will be kept in stock, and the probability of survival of poisonous insects is about [-] out of [-].

And these surviving poisonous insects are left after the survival of the fittest.It not only gathers the toxicity of other poisonous insects, but also absorbs a lot of poisonous gas in the mass graves, so this poisonous insect will become aggressive.

Many years ago, fighting Gu was popular in various villages.This kind of poisonous insect is generally used as the main force of fighting Gu.

But this kind of Gu worm mother body is not easy to come by.Generally, it is not easily taken out to fight Gu insects, it is used as a mother body to cultivate other more precious Gu insects.

For example, if you want to breed fire silkworms, after obtaining the mother body of this Gu insect, you will find a suitable time to break open the back shell of the mother body, and then inject the prepared silkworm eggs into the back.

After that, the Gu master will feed the Gu worm mother with specially prepared herbs, and the silkworm eggs will grow and survive on the mother's back.

After feeding in this way for another 49 days, the silkworm eggs will emerge from the body.

At this time, the poisonous insects bred will be classified.Since the mother body is two kinds of poisonous insects, centipede and scorpion, the fire silkworm conceived from the back of centipede is fire silkworm.And the one bred from the back of the scorpion is called the ice silkworm.

After hearing this, I realized that the fire silkworm we saw was just one of them, and there was another poisonous insect called ice silkworm.

When Qu Kangcheng said this, he also said: "Ice silkworms and fire silkworms are conceived by the same method. It's just that only fire silkworms can cure my disease. I don't know that kind of ice silkworms. But it is said that ice silkworms It is similar in shape to the fire silkworm, except that the fire silkworm is red all over, while the ice silkworm is ice blue. This one can be recognized at a glance. If you have the opportunity to encounter this kind of creature in the future, you must stay away from it, because they all have Poisonous."

Both Liang Yue and I nodded.

Qu Kangcheng continued to talk about the fire silkworms. After the fire silkworms were conceived, most of the Gu insect mothers at that time would only have a thin outer shell left.The worms inside have been eaten by the hatched fire silkworms.

But there are exceptions, that is, the mother body of a centipede or scorpion is very capable, and after giving birth to fire silkworms and ice silkworms, it can survive by itself, and such a mother body will become the ruler of ice fire silkworms.

As a result, the fire silkworm was officially conceived successfully.At this time, the fire silkworm is more poisonous than the mother and extremely aggressive.As long as there is a fire silkworm mother, it will be much easier to breed other fire silkworms from this mother.

Qu Kangcheng finished talking about the breeding process of the fire silkworm in one breath.

I can't help feeling again that life can still be conceived and happened like this.

After listening to Qu Kangcheng, I stretched my waist and said to Lao Qu and Liang Yue: "Okay, you two wait for me here for a while, I will come as soon as I go..."

With that said, I set off to walk in the direction of Jiulongding.

This surprised both Lao Qu and Liang Yue, Liang Yue stepped forward and grabbed me, and Lao Qu also asked, "Li Yang, what are you doing?"

I said lightly: "I'll catch some fire silkworms for you and bring them back to treat your illness."

"Ah... no." Qu Kangcheng's expression changed at that moment: "Didn't you understand what I said? The fire silkworm is highly poisonous, and the poison will accumulate in your body. It won't last long. You can't go, I'm just talking casually. If you have an accident, I... how can I explain to the old horse?"

I shook my head: "Old Qu, do you know that after passing this village, there will be no such shop. Let's go out from here, and maybe we will never see the fire silkworm again in the rest of our lives."

Qu Kangcheng nodded and admitted: "You're right. Actually, before I went down to this underground palace, I never thought that I could see this kind of fire silkworms in my life. So I don't think these fire silkworms are my savior. Even in the future I can’t touch it, and I have nothing to regret. This time you have the idea to help me, Lao Qu, I sincerely thank you. But I can’t let you go, if you go to help me catch fire silkworms this time, there will be If there are three pros and two cons, that is the most regrettable thing in my life, Lao Qu."

I smiled lightly: "Old Qu, I went to help you catch fire silkworms out of my heart, so you don't have to thank me. In addition, I think differently from you. I think that the appearance of these fire silkworms is the result of God's death." The last life-saving straw for you. If you don’t grasp it, you may not have another chance in the future. Also...you underestimate me, the fire spirit saliva in my body is invulnerable, just A few fire silkworms can't do anything to me. You saw it just now, I was bitten by fire silkworms, but do you think I was poisoned?"

I said it lightly, the purpose is not to let them stop me again.I really want to help Lao Qu, his personality is similar to that of Ma Di, although his temper is a bit weird, but during the time I have been in contact with him, I can see that he is also a very good person.I like to get along with such people.

Chapter 1074 Fishing Fire Silkworms ([-])

In the end, Lao Qu was speechless by what I said, so he gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, I'll go back with you. You're helping me, so what's the matter with me watching the fun?"
