Where do tomb robbers meet in their lives?

We finally joined together again, and at this moment almost everyone stared at the branch where the little brother was.

It turned out that there was a dead monster hanging there, its limbs were in a very unnaturally twisted state, so the afterimage of the sea monkey flashed in my mind-this time it was probably killed by my brother in a flash.All of us held our breath, watching the little brother squatting next to the corpse, pressing his fingers on the strange face, then pinching the edge of the cheek, and pulling hard.

With Sister Lu's exclamation, all of us finally saw clearly that the big lifeless face was actually an extremely finely crafted mask.I said if it was a living thing, how could it keep such a weird smile and not move.What was revealed under the mask was a face covered with yellow hair, which further verified my guess.

The old itchy suddenly exclaimed: "Damn it, it's actually a monkey, it's so big!"

Then Wu Xie asked a technical question: "What's the matter with this mask? Not to mention who put it on. You see, this mask has no holes at all. How do these monkeys usually survive? How do they eat?"

"Small, little brother, can you take a look next time?" We just noticed the existence of Master Liang. At this moment, his face was extremely pale, giving me the impression that this person could hardly lift it up after swallowing it.The little brother handed the mask to Mr. Liang, and when he took it, his hands sank, and he yelled "Ouch" before picking up the mask with both hands.It seems that this thing is a real stone, and it is quite heavy.Master Liang glanced at the younger brother's fingers, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and put the mask in front of his eyes for a closer look.

He first looked at the notch on the mask, clicked his tongue twice, then turned the mask over, and saw a fist-sized snail-like spiral protrusion on the place covering the mouth, with a small hole in it.Master Liang gestured the mask to his own face, and came to a conclusion: "This mask can only be worn with the mouth open."

Lao Xie wondered: "Open your mouth? It's like holding a light bulb in your mouth. How uncomfortable is it to keep opening your mouth?"

Wu Xie interjected: "Maybe it really has to open its mouth. Look at the monkey's mouth, it's so wide open. But how can you eat while wearing such a mask? You can't even see it, and the mouth is sealed."

Before all of us could answer, a slight crack suddenly appeared on the spiral protrusion. Mr. Liang gave a "huh" and took out a pen from his coat pocket to poke at the small hole, then pried it, and followed the stone protrusion. It was completely shattered, and a slim and sticky thing was slowly revealed.

"What is this?" Fatty was about to stretch out his hand in surprise, when he suddenly let out a strange trembling sound, and then his eyes fell on me beside him, with a strange expression on his face.

I wondered, "What's wrong?"

The fat man moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, he held back, and turned to look at the slowly wriggling thing inside the mask.

I ignored the fat man's strange eyes and said, "Look, this thing... seems to be alive and spitting out something." I saw that the whole body of this thing was gray-black, but a green oily liquid emerged from one end. I have a bit of pan stomach acid.

Everyone was probably disgusted by me, and no one spoke to me. Only the little brother stretched out his fingers and picked out the twisted and flipped thing in the mask for inspection.The green liquid fell down from one end, and there were two gray-black tentacles on the other end, a bit like snails, curled up and struggling in my little brother's hands, which made my skin crawl.

"It's in half."

As soon as the little brother finished speaking, I involuntarily took a small step back and hid a little behind Fatty and Wu Xie.Alas, I still prefer small insects like grasshoppers and crickets, and I am most afraid of caterpillars and slugs.

"What about the other half?" After Old Tickle asked, all of our eyes fell on the monkey on the branch.

Hey, isn't it...

But if the bulge is really stuffed directly into the mouth, it seems that the other half will only appear in one place.

Lao You squatted down, grabbed my knife and carefully picked the monkey's big, empty mouth with the tip of the knife, and then shot the flashlight into it.

I go!gross!

I saw that the half of the worm inside was stuck in the place where the monkey's tongue was close to the throat, and the tip of the outside half of the worm was dying and twisting, and there was also a green viscous substance dripping down.

I really couldn't bear to look directly at him, so I backed up a little bit. Unexpectedly, I stepped back a little behind the fat man, and the fat man trembled. It was a bit weird, as if his whole body was shivering.

This time he turned his head and gave me a glance full of oddity and surprise, and then he seemed to swallow the trough that came to his mouth.I felt uncomfortable seeing him hesitating to speak, and said: "Fatty, what do you want to say to me? I think you are holding back your discomfort, so just say something."

"Then I'll say it," the fat man moved to the side and said to me, "No, sister Liang, I said you should be a little reserved as a girl, are you joking like this?"

"what?"

"Come on, pay attention to the influence yourself, don't mess with your fat brother." The fat man turned his head away and continued to look at the things in the monkey's mouth.

I glanced at Wu Xie, completely unable to understand what he was talking about.

After two seconds, I got it.

I saw my little snake actually swam into the fat man's butt pocket at some point, and now it is slowly crawling out from the inside.And my position is exactly half a meter behind the fat man——Emma, ​​the fat man thinks I'm touching him, right?

My God!

Little boy, come back to me quickly!

I was reaching out to grab the wobbly little thing, but it played hide-and-seek with me, and jumped out of the pocket to the fat man's back, playing circles around.

shit...

This time the fat man screamed, turned around suddenly, and saw me stretching out my hand to grab it, which made me die. "Liang Xiaosan, you..." Before the fat man finished speaking, Wu Xie suddenly said from the side: "Fatty man, what is on your head!" While he was reaching out to touch the top of his head, he quickly grabbed the little villain and stuffed it into my pocket inside.I breathed a sigh of relief, zipped my pocket, and smiled at him.

"Hehe!" The fat man patted Wu Xie on the chest and said, "You young couple are flirting with each other, what are you grabbing from my back? Take it out and try to play tricks on my fat man's back, you are 200 years too early .”

Wu Xie smiled and said to the fat man, "Fatty, you better not know, it would be bad if you were frightened and fell."

"I really don't believe it." The fat man looked at me and said, "What else can scare your fat man! Come on Xiao Liang, open your pocket and show me what it is."

I smiled at Fatty: "Then Fatty, hurry up."

He still hesitated when he reached out his hand, but this fat man has always been tough, he only paused for half a second before unzipping my pocket and putting his hand in, "Oh my god!" I retracted, and saw my restless little snake biting his palm with its mouth open.The little guy hadn't grown up yet, and his teeth weren't very sharp, and he didn't bite open the fat man's flesh. Instead, he hung on it and swayed, making the fat man shake his hand violently in fright.I was worried that the little snake would be hurt by it, when I saw the little guy twisted and landed on a bronze branch, bounced away, landed on my arm, and the little tail circled around.

"You little girl!" When the fat man came to his senses, he cursed, "Damn, when did you pick up the snake? Little Brother Wu, you all looked at her, she's getting more and more out of tune, be careful that the snake bites you!"

Even the fat man who was tough enough was just taken aback and didn't run away. After seeing the snake, the others all panicked and left me more than one meter away, not daring to get close.

I touched the little snake's head and smiled at him: "No way, this little snake is not poisonous, it was used to ward off evil spirits before, Wu Xie and my brother both agreed to let me raise it."

The fat man clicked his tongue a few times, and said: "The girl's family has a snake, do you still want to marry someone?"

boom!

The sound was as severe as thunder, and I was blown up on the spot.

I babbled a few times, but I didn't slow down for a while.

Fat brother, why are you so sharp, can you give me a way out?

Fatty saw me being petrified on the spot, and knew that I was a little slip of the tongue. He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "That, that, anyway, as long as there is no problem with this snake. You should be careful, don't let it bite others, and cause more accidents." Come."

"Oh." I bowed my head, depressed.

Wu Xie hugged my shoulders and comforted me: "Don't listen to him talking nonsense, fucking nonsense, talking without thinking."

I clapped his hand, thinking that he meant that there is no silver 300 taels here.

"Yes, I think Miss Liang is very nice."

I looked at Miss Lu who was hiding beside the bronze tree trunk in surprise. After she finished speaking, she smiled at me. Her smile was innocent and her dimples were very cute. It seems that his attitude towards me has always been very friendly, but I always vomit sour water in my heart.

Sigh, I am probably really not very sensible, nor cute...

I looked at the little snake with mung bean eyes in my hand, it was playing around my fingers, and I felt a little better.Anyway, that’s what I’m like, and it’s nice to have a pet, at least animals are easier to deal with than people, and I don’t have those twisted intestines in my heart.

I raised my head, and suddenly found that Master Liang was staring at the little snake in my hand seriously, and said in surprise, "Master Liang, do you know this kind of snake?"

Master Liang thought for a while and said, "Miss Liang, did you meet this little snake?"

I didn't trust this master very much, so I said casually: "You care so much about what to do, you have the ability to see for yourself."

He looked at the little snake, rolled his eyes, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the legendary Lin snake that exorcises evil spirits." He looked like he wanted to come and have a closer look but was afraid of being bitten by a snake. In the end, he stayed where he was: "Little brother, please show this worm to the snake."

The little brother held the struggling insect only half an arm away from the little snake, and saw it suddenly sprang out from my arm, wrapped around my wrist like lightning, and looked at the curled up insect. Then he took a small mouth and swallowed it into his stomach.

Hey, little guy, don't swallow such a disgusting thing.

Master Liang nodded, and said with a sad face: "I remembered it, I remembered it. I'm really ashamed, why didn't I think of it earlier. This copper tree, this sacrificial method, oh, I'm so stupid, I didn't do anything Understand, dare to come to this kind of place.”

The old itchy got angry when he heard it: "What the hell are you talking about! To make a long story short, what do you see?"

Master Liang took a breath, and then said: "Don't worry, just listen to me slowly. But where should I start, this big tree, alas, this big tree..."

"This big tree was probably used by the ancient ethnic minorities as a sacrifice. Maybe it itself is a kind of totem." The little brother said suddenly, "In order to protect this sacred totem, they planted this strange magic."

"It's a Gu technique."

Then Master Liang introduced us to the source of Gu art and the development of various branches after it was handed down. I am not interested in this kind of textbook-like introduction. The origin of the monkey and my little snake.

It turns out that this kind of Gu technique is called "Chi Gu", which has the ability to affect the nerves of humans and animals. They usually go directly to the brain through the mouth. After stimulating certain parts, people or animals will become very aggressive.Apparently, the ancestors of the She nationality here used such masks to train the monkeys to be the best guardians.

This kind of Gu technique has a strong continuity and can reproduce in the host's body. After the host dies, they enter a dormant state, waiting for the approach of the next prey.

There is an unwritten rule in the ancient voodoo culture. Wherever voodoo continues, sacred objects that restrain voodoo must be placed. Is the purpose of doing this is to respect the natural balance or prevent the powerful voodoo from getting out of control? Its true purpose is now unknown.

But for the monster-like existence like Chi Gu, there is a natural nemesis - Lin Snake.This legendary snake can fly, eat all kinds of poisons, and repel evil things.

When I heard this, I was absolutely impressed by my little snake: Oh, yo, this is my golden finger, but——

It is not easy to conceive a Lin Snake. It needs to rely on a huge python to cultivate its spirituality. Its growth rate is also very slow. This kind of snake may not grow once every ten years.

It means that my little snake is currently a little snake stick with no aura, and can only eat small bugs...

And I thought about it, the little snake seemed to be dug out of the big snake's head by force, I don't know if it was the sequelae of premature birth.

sin ah...

Fatty took the mask from Mr. Liang's hand and looked at it carefully: "Don't say that if this thing is worn on the head, it's really not easy to take it off."

Wu Xie said: "Look at this shape, it is indeed a bit like a light bulb. The raised area is large, and the link to the mask is narrowed. I am afraid that this design is to make the mask difficult to take off. How much time……"

Suddenly, with a bang, a black shadow fell from all of us, squatting heavily on a branch.

The weird mask was made into a smile, and under the projection of the flashlight, the corners of the upturned mouth looked very evil, like a smiling devil, looking down at all of us.

Then we gasped almost simultaneously.

This time the body connected under the mask is neither hairy nor crouched on a tree branch like a monkey.

That's a person.

I heard Wu Xie whispering softly beside me.

"Uncle Tai."

The author has something to say:

The next chapter is going to have a magical turning point, hehe
