How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

"Bone-attached and heart-eating... coffin worm?"

Ye Cheng was stunned, and some information about Guanshan Taibao suddenly came to his mind.

What is the bone-attached, heart-eating coffin worm?

It is a specialty of Wuxia Guanshan.

The local ethnic minority people are accustomed to placing coffins on the mountainside instead of burying them in the soil and letting them be exposed to wind and rain.

This is the origin of Wuxia Guanshan, also known as high hanging coffin burial.

The higher the burial position of the deceased, the more dangerous it is, indicating that the person's status was more prominent when he was alive.

But everyone knows this thing about corpses.

If left in the air for a long time, the body will rot, and after exposure to bacteria and microorganisms, maggots will begin to appear.

This is called a coffin bug.

This thing is different from ordinary maggots. It has a yellow head and a black tail. The big one is the size of a baby's fist, and the small one is as big as a fingernail.

In fact, most people who often rob tombs or do archaeology have seen it.

Coffin worms are not only found in hanging coffins, but can also occasionally be found in buried coffins.

They are semi-parasitic organisms that eat the nutrients in the corpse and then eat the decaying coffin.

It is said that they like to eat coffins made of willow and poplar trees, and they continue to reproduce parasitically during their dormant period.

Once someone disturbs them, they will be frightened and flee in groups.

And this thing is photophobic, so it will become even crazier in broad daylight.

When Ye Cheng heard that there was a coffin worm inside, his heart jumped wildly.

Because ordinary coffin bugs are filthy and filthy at most and will not cause any harm to humans.

Even if he escapes, he will quickly find a dark place to hide.

At most it makes you feel sick, and then you can disinfect your whole body.

But the coffin worms in Wuxia Guanshan are different.

I don’t know how this thing evolved. It generally has a pair of fleshy wings and seven pairs of claws on its body.

Although it cannot fly, its sharp fangs can easily bite through a cowhide belt.

Even a cowhide belt can be chewed through, let alone a human being.

Once frightened, it will immediately penetrate every hole and open its mouth to devour all living creatures in front of it.

After being bitten by them, the symptoms range from redness, swelling and bruises to severe ulceration of the skin and muscles, which can reach into the bones, and the pain is excruciating.

Therefore, this coffin insect can be called the most poisonous thing in Wuxia Guanshan...

Attach bones and eat hearts!

"Shopkeeper Li! Is your lesson too harsh?"

Ye Cheng couldn't bear it any longer, shouted loudly, and started to run towards Deling, trying to find a way to let the people in the pit escape first.

"Is it big?"

Li Cen's face was heavy. When he saw Ye Cheng running towards Delingli, he had no choice but to follow him.

He just said something behind Ye Cheng's back.

"Mr. Ye, good words can't persuade a ghost to die. If you are kind, you will die!"

"It's better to let them get hurt here than to die in the underground palace."

Ye Cheng was shocked when he heard Li Cen's words, and ran in without saying anything more.

How could he not understand.

Keeping the archaeological team members out of the underground palace is responsible for their lives.

If you don't get a lesson, you will definitely go in and die.

only……

Ye Cheng was a little surprised by the ruthlessness of the Guanshan Taibao clan.

They really regard human life as nothing.

But Delingli was in chaos.

Chen Bu, Xu Shanhe, Wang Heping and others looked anxiously at the chaos in the pit and shouted.

"Come up! You all come up quickly! Don't stay down there! Come up first before talking, it's too dangerous down there!"

The people in the pit will be angry to death.

on?

How dare you go up there?

If you don't feel pain in your back while standing and talking, just jump down and give it a try before talking.

Dozens of people stood in the small trough, and it was crowded.

I wanted to climb up, but a hand stretched out from somewhere and pulled me down again.

Some people even fell to the ground, causing a stampede.

But it’s just a stampede.

The worst thing is the old experts and professors who are scrambling to get up there.

They were the first to collapse due to fear and old age, and were instantly filled with coffin worms.

These coffin bugs have no intention of harming anyone, they just run away in a panic.

But out of fear, the old professors actually waved their hands to swat away the bugs on their bodies.

He slapped them down and killed several of them on the spot, which aroused public outrage.

In the eyes of the coffin worm, he had slept well, and everyone had done nothing wrong.

I was woken up by you, so I just don’t provoke you. I want to find a place to hide.

Are you going to shoot us to death?

Did I give you face?

A large number of bugs opened their mouths and bit them, biting the faces, bodies, and even private parts of the old professors.

Screams kept coming from under everyone's feet.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! Everyone, please don't swat the bugs on your body."

"Everyone, stand still and climb up one by one. Don't walk around or step on it..."

Old Fu, who was still standing in the pit, was the first to calm down after a brief panic.

Because he found that although these bugs crawled and crawled around, they would not actively hurt people.

But if they kill their companions, other bugs will immediately attack.

The old man saw with his own eyes that Professor Wang, who was the first to lie down, was covered in insects and rolling back and forth on the ground in pain.

He could only yell angrily, ignoring the bugs climbing on his body, and rushed over to drag the old professor up from the ground.

Otherwise, he would not be bitten to death by insects, but would be trampled to death by the chaotic crowd.

Unfortunately, there are too many people in the pit.

Almost all the people who participated in the archaeology jumped into the foundation trench after discovering the stone tablet.

Lao Fu rushed twice, but couldn't get through at all.

He could only keep shouting angrily.

"Don't move! Everyone, don't move! Everyone stand still..."

It's a pity that no one listens to Lao Fu's words anymore, and the scene is still extremely chaotic.

"What should I do! Old Qian, what can I do?"

Wang Heping, Xu Shanhe and others beside the pit turned pale with fright and asked Qian Xuechang in silence.

You decide the location!

You asked the stone tablet to be dug out too!

What should we do now that things are happening like this?

Any further delay will inevitably lead to serious casualties.

So many people died before the entrance to the underground palace was found?

Who can bear this responsibility?

However, Qian Xuechang felt weak all over and sat slumped on the edge of the foundation trough, teetering on the edge of the foundation.

If it weren't for Chen Bu's big hand holding him, he might have fallen into the pit.

What can I do?

Although I have seen coffin bugs during archeology, I have never seen so many bugs.

This is a trap!

It's a murder trap set by the builders of Deling!

The stone tablet that read "He who digs the tomb dies" was the clarion call for this trap to start killing people.

Will everyone die in the pit?

Qian Xuechang watched blankly, wanting only to plunge in and die to apologize.

"Don't be stunned! Call the soldiers outside quickly, set up a ladder, and pull out the people inside first!"

At this moment, Ye Cheng finally ran in and felt his scalp numb when he saw the scene in the pit.

He yelled, reminding Xu Shanhe to hurry up and call the soldiers standing guard outside.

Under such circumstances, we could only use soldiers to set up a ladder leading to the foundation trench and pull them up one by one.

These coffin worms seem to be afraid to go into the pit and just keep swarming in the pit.

Seeing that Ye Cheng had finally arrived, Xu Shanhe seemed to have seen his savior.

After hearing his shouting again, he woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly called to the troops stationed outside.

But Li Cen, who was following Ye Cheng, waved his hand.

"No need! Let me drive them away!"

When these words were said, Wang Heping, Xu Shanhe, and Qian Xuechang were stunned.

Seeing that it was Li Cen, the shopkeeper of Rongshengzhai who had been turned away before, everyone blushed.

At a critical moment, do you still have to ask for help?

Hey!

What kind of evil has this done?

Wang Heping said calmly: "Shopkeeper Li..."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Cen didn't dare to take pleasure in his misfortune.

If something happens to a large number of people inside, he cannot escape responsibility.

Knowing that this was a trap, why didn't you try your best to stop it?

In addition, Li Cen obviously did not expect that the ancestor of the Feng family would arrange so many willow coffins and bury so many corpses to breed the heart-eating coffin worms.

Do we really want to send away all the people who dug the tomb?

Li Cen stopped talking nonsense, put down the bag he had been carrying, and took out two small bamboo sticks.

"This is……"

Ye Cheng glanced at it and recognized that it was a fire seal often used by the ancients.

He seemed to know what Li Cen was going to do.

"Mr. Ye, come on, help us! Let's blow smoke from both sides of the pit, and all the coffin bugs will be driven away soon."

Li Cen grabbed a fire dumpling and gave a demonstration.

But after he blew lightly, a large amount of black smoke suddenly came out from inside.

I don’t know what kind of material is filled inside the fire fold, but the thick smoke does not float away and falls heavily.

It fell to the bottom of the pit before falling apart, falling into a ball and floating at the feet of everyone.

The coffin worms that originally covered the bottom of the pit seemed to be extremely afraid of the black smoke, squeaking and escaping once touched.

"Mountain viewing smoke technique to repel insects?"

Ye Cheng shouted out the name of this method, which made Li Cen nod in surprise.

This is one of the unique skills of Guanshan Taibao, the Mountain Viewing Smoke Technique.

It can repel and control insects, and can command various insects and snakes to explore the way into the tomb according to the wishes of the Guanshan Taibao.

Even the top mountain-watching Taibo can drive the coffin worm to attach to the dead body, control the dead body to open the coffin from the inside, and even walk out of the tomb.

Li Cen just didn't expect that he would be recognized by Mr. Ye at a glance.

But he felt relieved when he thought about it.

The descendant of Faqiu Tianguan, who is dignified, has never seen any methods.

"Mr. Ye! Quick, blow as many smoke balls as possible and explode them. When the fog fills the entire pit, they will be fine..."

Li Cen handed another fire certificate to Ye Cheng, who quickly ran to the other side of the pit.

The two of them worked hard at the same time and kept blowing on the bamboo wooden tube. The fire inside flickered on and off, and large clouds of smoke kept falling.

After blowing for more than a minute, the bottom of the foundation tank was finally filled.

And those crazy coffin bugs disappeared without a trace at some point.

When the coffin bugs receded like a tide, the people in the pit turned pale and slumped to the ground.

Finally a life was saved.
